Chapter 327: Smart Man

Since this year's Oscars, the Weinstein brothers have accelerated their private work to leave Miramax in a decent way. Eisner was dissatisfied with them, and he also knew that the other party would drive them away sooner or later.

In fact, in order to completely control Miramax, over the past few years, the board of directors of Walt Disney has been manipulative, and Miramax's management has been kicked out by them. Weinstein's management methods, the last two will not be so helpless.

The Weinstein brothers have always been ambitious and want to make Miramax bigger, so they accepted Disney's investment at the beginning, making the film company founded by the two become one of Disney's many subsidiaries.

When Disney became the largest shareholder, Michael? Eisner did not fulfill his promise, he only wanted to treat Miramax as a subsidiary of the distribution of literary films and niche films, and did not hand over any big productions to them, and constantly interfered in the specific management of Miramax, with his management style, which naturally caused today's situation.

"If you have no opinion, the new company will be called Weinstein Pictures, and the headquarters will be in Burbank, and there are many managers who originally belonged to Miramax who will resign from their current positions and join the new company."

This kind of real film company is not just an empty shell that can be supported by a few people, due to the emergence of Ryan, Weinstein Pictures came out much earlier than the previous life, and the original management of Miramax, although it has been replaced by Michael in recent years? Eisner took a lot of it, but kept a considerable number of them, all of whom were part of the Weinstein brothers.

A well-known film company must not only have films in production, but also a huge film library, and Weinstein Pictures has only zero in this regard, everything has to start from scratch. But Harvey? Weinstein wasn't depressed, since Lindrew? Barrymore's chick, after getting the support of the person opposite, can make Flower Pictures create a lot of profits every year, not to mention that his brother is still a veteran in this industry.

Ryan and Harvey? Weinstein briefly discussed some general issues, such as the amount of investment, the specific division of shares, etc., and the details were naturally handled by lawyers and accountants.

The largest shareholders are naturally him, Nico and Weinstein, two brothers, in addition. There are also a few sporadic investors who occupy a small number of shares, and basically belong to the kind that has no right to speak in the future.

Ryan isn't very good at managing a film company, and he's not like Michael? Eisner, with the ambition to control everything under extreme inflation, Harvey? Weinstein's vision is good enough, Bob? Weinstein was very methodical in his management, and he did not intend to get involved in specific matters.

"While making my own films, I plan to travel from Europe and the Far East. Buy out some of the more distinctive movies and bring them to North America for screening. "Harvey? Weinstein said that he has some plans for the company's future, "so that it can not only enrich the film library, but also achieve profitability as soon as possible." ”

"I will not interfere with the specific operation."

Ryan waved his hand casually. "I believe in your and Bob's abilities."

"Know, Ryan, this is what you are most convinced about." Harvey? Weinstein laughed.

"You know, Harvey. I'm good at movies, not all these small and tedious things. ”

For Harvey? Ryan didn't have any opinion on Weinstein's proposal just now. In his previous life, the other party did this, and it was not bad, although sometimes he did it with some means, but how could he make money if he didn't pit those overseas filmmakers?

"It's a pity for Shakespeare in Love." Harvey? Weinstein suddenly showed a look of regret, "Originally, I wanted to use this movie to hit the best picture of the little golden man, but now I can only give up." ”

Hearing him say this, Ryan realized that he had unknowingly brought about another change, Miramax lost the Weinstein brothers, so will the production of "Shakespeare in Love" still win the Oscar for Best Picture?

Is this an indirect favor to DreamWorks and Spielberg, maybe I should ask them for some benefits.

Ended up talking here, Ryan at Harvey? At Weinstein's invitation, he came to a villa in front of Malibu Beach, where the front garden on the seaside was swaying, and handsome men and women were shuttling through it, and a small celebratory party had begun.

"Where's Bob?"

Hearing Ryan's question, Harvey? Weinstein interrupted the joke with the people around him, "He's in New York, he's raising money from banks, and it's always been a hassle to deal with those vampires." ”

As he spoke, he stepped aside and introduced the plump brown-haired woman in front of him, "Ryan, is this Rachel?" Vichy, a delicate rose from England. Rachel, I don't need to introduce this person, do I? He's the investor in the movie you're about to star in. ”

"Rachel is the actress chosen by director Sommers and Melanie for 'The Mummy.'" He added an explanation.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you." Ryan shook her hand gently.

This is a plump woman, with a somewhat similar body to Kate? Winslet, the difference is that she doesn't have Winslet's bloated feeling, but it seems just right.

Stephen? The script written by Sommos was officially established after Ryan's nod, and the story of the pharaoh and the mummy was officially established, and the choice of actors was handed over to Sommers himself and Melanie? Sloan, as for whether the original cast will be used, Ryan doesn't care, this kind of adventure movie full of comedy elements, Hollywood can find a lot of suitable actors.

Just didn't expect it, Stephen? Sommers still chose the Englishwoman.

"In fact, not only do I live in London, but I also have a few friends from the UK." See Harvey quickly moving away? Weinstein, Ryan shook his head without a trace, and set his eyes on the woman in front of him.

"You're talking about Kate, right?" Rachel? Vichy asked tentatively, and after Ryan nodded, she squinted to the other side, "We came here together today." ”

"You know?" Ryan followed her gaze, but it was a strange figure.

The other party seemed to notice them, and turned to Rachel? Vichy beckoned and walked over.

Seeing her appearance clearly, Ryan can only sigh that there are too many women named Kate in the UK, this Kate is not the Kate he said? Winslet.

Probably sensing Ryan's surprised look, Rachel? Vichy hurriedly added, "Ryan, the Kate you're talking about, isn't Miss Beckinsale?" ”

"Kate? Winslet. Ryan shrugged.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, is this woman really confused? Or is it an ulterior motive? Him and Kate? Winslet became friends because of the filming of "Titanic", which has long been reported by many media.

Wait for the tall woman with long dark brown hair to come over, Rachel? After Vichy introduced them, Ryan chatted casually with them before preparing to leave.

"Ryan, can you do me a little favor?"

Seeing Ryan's inquiring look, Rachel? Vichy lowered her voice and said quickly, "Kate is going to audition for DreamWorks, and the producer is Mr. Spielberg. ”

"Rachel!" Kate? Beckinsale tugged at him hard.

It's really a bold woman as rumored. Ryan smiled slightly and said politely, "If I meet Stephen, I'll mention this to him." ”

"Ryan, we ......"

Rachel? Before Vichy's words were finished, Kate? Beckinsale interrupted, "Thank you, Ryan. ”

Listening to the other party's sincere thanks, Ryan sighed secretly and asked, "What is a movie?" ”

The two women suddenly showed a look of surprise, what he said just now was obviously polite and coping, and now that he asked the name of the movie, he would probably really help.

"The story about World War II, if it is not changed in the later period, should be called "Pearl Harbor"." As happy as it is, Kate? Beckinsale is still calm enough.

"It is said that the director has been determined to be Michael? Mr. Pei, the movie has only been approved for a short time, and it will be filmed in the second half of next year. "Rachel? Vichy added.

It turned out to be "Pearl Harbor".

Ryan nodded, calculating the time, this movie is indeed almost the time for preparation, but he remembers that this Miss Beckinsale, according to the development of her previous life, seems to be pregnant, and the most beautiful little beauty in the second generation of Hollywood stars will be born next year.

"Ryan......" Rachel? Vichy's voice pulled his thoughts back.

"Okay, I'll talk to Stephen and Michael about it." The other party is pregnant and doesn't do his own thing, Ryan shook his finger lightly and continued, "I'm just making an introduction, and it depends on the results of your audition." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Ryan." The results have greatly exceeded their expectations.

Ryan waved his hand and turned to leave, judging from his past experience, even if he didn't interfere, it was estimated that Kate? Beckinsale will still get that role, but in "Pearl Harbor......

Forget it, this movie is almost save, Bang Bei doesn't play explosions, but goes to play love triangles, plus the continuous success in the past few years, which has led to some problems in the mentality, and if you want to shoot more things in addition to business, you are doomed to failure.

It can only be said that Exploding Bey is just Exloding Bey, and he will never become James? Cameron, perhaps, can only figure this out after a painful defeat.

"Hell, Harvey, how did you get into so much trouble." Walking to Harvey? As Weinstein approached, Ryan grabbed a glass of soda and drank most of it in one gulp.

"I just asked Jane to find some beautiful girls...... "The big fat man shrugged helplessly, "I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, it can only be said that you are too attractive to girls who want to become famous." (To be continued......)
