"Hey, Jude, how are you doing, I'm glad to see you here." Under the swagger of the flash, Sean and Jude in a suit and leather shoes? Lowe hugged her, then stood together and let the reporter take a picture as much as he could.

"It's not bad, seeing that this movie that might make you unlucky is about to be released, how could I not come and see it." Jude jokingly said while taking pictures.

"That's how you want me to fail?" Sean immediately asked rhetorically.

"Oh, of course, you haven't failed until now, have you? Frankly, I regret it now, if I had promised Tony to star in "Cold Mountain", maybe I could have been nominated for an Oscar. Jude said with a serious expression, but when he saw a reporter probing his body, he almost put the recorder on his nose, and immediately patted Sean's arm and went inside.

"Well, you should have a nomination too." Sean naturally followed him inside, nodded, and then sighed with some emotion, wondering if he would be able to get another nomination in a month or two.

Jude, who would be mistaken by seeing his appearance, immediately slapped him again, "Okay, don't you really think that I want you to fail?" I was involved in this movie. ”

"Oh? You mean to say that you're hoping I fail, not that the film fails? Sean immediately raised an eyebrow and asked.

"You guy...... Well, if you really think so, then so be. Jude spread his hands dryly.

Both of them couldn't help laughing, Sean took the lead in reaching out and slapped Jude in the face, I have to say that this guy who didn't look at him was very good after becoming friends.

Arriving at the screening foyer, it was almost filled with people attending the premiere, even though it was a Chinese theater – because "The Aviator" had been filmed here, Scorsese chose this place as the premiere location. The Chinese Theater has held countless movie premieres for decades, and even so, the front hall is still crowded, coupled with the large number of reporters and countless fans outside, as well as various promotional banners and large posters, it is worthy of the premiere of big-name directors, which is even more lively than the previous premiere of "Ocean's Twelve", which is also the largest premiere Sean has attended in recent years.

"Yes, I'm already starting to get excited, I knew that I should also participate in the internal test screening, and I won't be restless now." Standing in front of Scorsese, Sean complimented him appropriately.

In addition to the director, there are many people around, such as Harvey, who has the name of a producer? Weinstein, Miramax also invested in the film. However, his interest was not very high, and he seemed a little absent-minded, so Rao still teased him.

"I heard that you broke up with the girl from before? That's a pity, you two are still a good match, she now has two movies as the heroine released, and her popularity is not lower than yours. When the dead fat man said this, he deliberately squeezed his eyes, for fear that others would not be able to see what he wanted to say.

Sean can only roll his eyes, well, in the schedule from Thanksgiving to Christmas, in addition to "National Treasure", there is also a Jessica? Films in which Bale plays the lead role. Yes, it's the third installment of "Blade" mentioned last time, and it was released last week with "Ocean's Twelve", although the number of theaters and weekend box office can't compare with Soderbergh's blockbuster, but for such a film positioned as a medium investment, it is already very good.

"It's hard to say about this kind of thing, if you like it, you get together, and if you don't like it, you separate." Sean said quietly, and raised his chin to a tall girl, "When this movie was filmed before, Kate was still single, and now that the movie is released, she is already married." ”

"Because I can't give you a chance, Sean." The other party immediately said this and burst into laughter, she raised her slender eyebrows, and her straightforward appearance was very good.

This Kate is naturally not Blanchett, who is constantly involved with Sean, but plays Ava in "The Aviator"? Gardner's Beckinsale, a girl from England with oriental characteristics, has a different charm and is very charming. Although Sean didn't provoke her at the beginning, he still found her very attractive, but unfortunately he had too many things to do at that time, so in a blink of an eye, someone else had already gotten married in the first half of this year, so the slightest thought in his heart was immediately extinguished.

"Looks like I've got to find a way to turn my reputation around, or I'm going to be ruined." Sean laughed at himself, causing another burst of laughter.

Then, when Weinstein left, he immediately made an excuse to leave, first, to discuss something with the fat man, and secondly, to have some ...... Well...... Meaning to dodge the gaze of another Kate.

As one of the heroines, Kate? Blanchett was naturally among them, and for reasons that both of them knew the truth, she didn't talk to Sean much, but her eyes swept over him from time to time. Most of the time it's normal, but sometimes it also makes Sean feel oppressive, like when the previous Kate said those words, which made him sigh a little and be a little happy.

Don't talk about sighing, this is a common problem of men, even if he is sorry for her, he will inevitably sigh when he encounters this situation. As for being happy, it is natural to be able to feel that the other party cares about their own thoughts, which is also a man's ...... It should be a common human problem, if you have feelings for someone, you always want them to respond at any time.

Not to mention this for now, no matter how much they feel for each other, now is not a good time to talk, so Sean quickly shifts all his energy to Weinstein.

"How's it going, Harvey? This condition is not too much at all. After there was no one around, Sean immediately asked the fat man in front of him.

"You're so optimistic about us?" Weinstein raised an eyebrow and didn't answer directly, "We're out of the house." ”

"So what?" Sean shrugged his shoulders, "As long as the people are still there, a new company can be established at any time, and similarly, as long as the people are still there, it is only a matter of time before the new company surpasses the old one." ”

Weinstein didn't make a sound, and after looking at him for a long time, he said: "If someone else comes to lobby, I won't think about it at all, but you come to lobby......"

He didn't continue, but his eyes narrowed, making Sean a little uncomfortable.

"Why, my good eyes are already so valued? In that case, you should say yes. To avoid embarrassment to himself, Sean snorted.

Unexpectedly, Weinstein showed a serious expression: "There's no way not to pay attention to it, frankly speaking, Sean, Hollywood has never had a person like you, in just five years, you have changed from an extra to a first-line star, each of your movies has a good box office and reputation, as well as your own production company, and it has developed rapidly, and the investment you are willing to make has also received huge returns, so young you have more wealth than most big-name stars, directors and producers, you can't pay attention to it." ”

Sean blinked, it was nothing at first, but after hearing the most slight, he slowly involuntarily gave birth to a feeling of pleasure.

"Then I shouldn't be very proud." Although Sean said in a joking tone, the feeling of excitement still revealed a lot.

As a person who can only be regarded as mediocre in his previous life, and who has not achieved much in the past ten years before this life, looking back and finding that what he has done in the past five years has not only surpassed his father in this life, but also left many people behind, that feeling of excitement is difficult to describe in words.

"So I have to think carefully about it, I can't let you take advantage." Weinstein smiled at this point, and he looked very cunning.

Sean was suddenly stuck, and it would be stupid for him not to see that the other party had been laughing all the time.

As I said a long time ago, I can participate in ordinary negotiations, but I am not good at dealing with old foxes. Sean complained in his heart, but he didn't stop: "So, did you refuse?" ”

Although he can't deal with a cunning guy like Weinstein, it doesn't mean that Sean has no way at all, so he has to pretend to be stunned and throw the problem out bluntly. After all, from the beginning of Vladimir's proposal, although the other party did not agree, he never said anything to death.

"Of course not, Sean, I just need to think and consider," Weinstein said, "Although your words are correct, the key is people, but a person's energy is always limited, and I don't have another twenty years to work hard, so in order to make the most of the current twenty years, I have to be careful." ”

With that, he patted his arm and was about to leave.

Sean, who was stunned for two seconds, immediately asked, "But you can't just keep delaying, right?" ”

"New Year, I'll give you the answer after the New Year." Weinstein said without looking back.

After looking at his back for a long time, Sean had to sigh, this is the energy of the boss of the old production company, and he doesn't care about the investment sent to the door, he has to think twice before he decides.

The whole thing is actually very simple, that is, as the founders of the famous Miramax, the Weinstein brothers fell out with the parent company Disney. Disney didn't want Miramax to be big, just positioned them as a medium-sized production company, but the Weinstein brothers were not reconciled to this, so they have always been at odds with each other.

It would have been fine if it had just been like this, but this year, the conflict suddenly intensified, because the Weinstein brothers released the Michael? Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 911. This documentary, which aims to expose the truth about 911, directly aimed the contradiction at the White House, and the conquest of George W. Bush, who was profiting from the war on terror, was naturally very unhappy, so the film completed at the beginning of the year was never released, and it was not until after the Cannes award that Weinstein made up his mind.

Although the documentary caused a sensation when it was released and was a huge box office success, with more than 100 million in North America alone, it angered Disney, who was bent on maintaining a family-friendly appearance and maintaining good relations with the government. Although the Weinstein brothers are still arguing with Disney, various grapevines suggest that the Weinstein brothers are likely to leave the house and start a new film production company.

So Vladimir said it was an opportunity for Samsara Pictures to take a stake or cross-invest in each other's new companies in order to win over the brothers, who have extensive connections in Hollywood.
