Saturday, Four Seasons Hotel, a long-term private room at Weinstein Pictures.

Harvey, like most filmmakers in the industry, is always up to date with the latest film statistics.

This week, there is also a film that he is very concerned about is released.

Harvey found the name of "Summer of Jeans" on Friday's box office statistics.

It earned $7.75 million on the first day of its release in North America, ranking second only to Star Wars Prequel 3, which was released on the first weekend of May.

In the cast released by Warner Bros., Martin Davis is the leading actor.

If so, the film he starred in will be a success again?

Harvey thought back to the young actor he had talked to once, and there was no disrespect in his words, on the surface it looked respectful, but in reality?

Martin Davis' agent declined his offer.

Although it is tactful, a refusal is a refusal.

This annoyed Xavi a bit and frustrated his promise to Matt Damon.

The bathroom door opened from the inside, and Meryl Streep, dressed in her pajamas, leaned over and kissed Harvey's chubby face, and sat down on the couch across from him.

Although she is over 50 years old, Meryl is well maintained and looks like she is 40 years old.

Harvey asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

Meryl said: "On the afternoon flight, I have a family and a room, and I want to go back to New York to be a good wife and mother. ”

Harvey stared at her for a moment and asked, "You're still in touch with Jack Nicholson?" ”

Meryl didn't answer, but asked, "What do you want to do with this?" ”

"Jack is on the Departed crew in Scorsese." Harvey said directly: "Do you know Martin Davis? He is also on the Departing crew. ”

Meryl had a guess: "Which LA hero?" He's a little actor, and he provoked you? ”

Harvey said: "You help me pass a word to Jack, don't let Martin Davis be too comfortable on the Departing crew, Matt Damon will cooperate with him." ”

Meryl took a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and said, "I get together with Jack a few times a year, old friends, there are always some special ways to maintain a relationship, and I will convey it to Jack for you, but he is a person, you know, he has a very strange temper, and I can't guarantee anything." ”

She wondered: "A little star, deserves this?" ”

"He is not an ordinary star, he can attract investment, and he has the support of Pacific Pictures behind him." Harvey recently learned: "Warner Bros. also thinks highly of him. ”

Meryl spat out the cigarette in her mouth, didn't ask any more questions, and said, "What about the next Oscar you promised me?" ”

"Be patient." Harvey's fat face shook with a smile: "I'm looking for a suitable project, and I will definitely do it if I promise you." ”

Meryl snuffed out her cigarette and stood up and unbuttoned her pajamas.

If you want to labor Harvey Weinstein, or something at the Oscars, she always has to be polite.

Two hours later, Meryl, who had put on makeup, left Harvey's long-term private room and took the elevator downstairs.

Two floors down, the elevator stopped and opened, and Julie walked in alone.

The two glanced at each other, and neither of them paid any attention to the other.

Meryl, who is experienced and can be called an expert, smelled a similar smell to her from Julie, the smell of sex after cheating with a man.

I can only understand the indescribable taste.

Meryl slandered, this rotten girl just finished accompanying the producer?

The elevator opened, and the two left the hotel separately.

After another half hour, Martin got out of the hotel and got into Bruce's car and went to the California Institute of Technology to participate in the promotional event for the film.

Although the main audience of jeans is teenagers, the audience reputation and media reputation are good, the former has a CS score of A, and the latter has an average MTC media score of 73 points.

Moreover, Martin and Blake's excellent appearance conditions have also attracted a lot of support from the beauty party.

In these years, appearance is still righteous in the market.

If you make a black fat and ugly endorsement, the product can collapse directly.

The era of super magic will not really start in nearly a decade.

Although Martin didn't make any special publicity, he still fully cooperated with the crew and the distributor in normal activities.

Warner Bros. pushed him to the position of the leading actor, and the film was a big hit, so he could naturally enjoy the benefits.

The day after the jeans were released, they still maintained a similar popularity as yesterday, with North America taking in $8.07 million.

On Saturday night, Martin invited Mr. Black to dinner, and the two went together at a fancy restaurant in Passanady.

The waiter brought the food and poured drinks for the two of them.

Blake was excited: "Did you see that?" Those people gathered around me to sign autographs, and I just had to take a picture with them, and they would go crazy with joy. ”

Martin raised his glass: "Congratulations on your popularity, you became famous in one fell swoop!" ”

Blake clinked glasses with him, and his head didn't faint: "I've been tainted with your good luck, Martin, and without you, this film might have shrunk by half." ”

Martin casually asked, "Who said that?" ”

Blake doesn't hide it: "Director Capis and several Warner Bros. executives said so, and they said that you and the shooting were a bonus to the film. ”

Thinking of the danger at Burbank Middle School at the time, Martin sighed, "I'd rather not have a bonus than have this happen again." ”

Who stepped on the horse wanted to face the muzzle.

Blake picked up a piece of green vegetables and ate it, not without regret: "We can't reach the top of the box office list." ”

Martin smiled and relieved: "No way, it was Star Wars Prequel 3 that was released last weekend, and even if it was the next weekend, we couldn't compete with Anakin." ”

Blake envies: "Martin, you've won two box office titles, but I haven't had one." ”

"Take your time, don't rush," Martin said. ”

How powerful George Lucas's claim of Star Wars Finals is, it is estimated that anyone who knows the North American film market will know that it is a veritable box office bomb.

But jeans are still under the aftermath of Star Wars and have reaped a good box office.

…………

Monday, Atlanta, Coca-Cola headquarters.

Thomas and his assistant Natasha walked into the negotiation room again.

Justin, the commissioner in charge of the negotiations, was waiting in the conference room.

The two sides shook hands and sat down on one side of the conference table in preparation for a new round of negotiations.

Thomas spoke first, "I've brought a little new information, and I hope you can take a look at it." ”

Justin nodded, "Yes." ”

Natasha opened her notebook, connected to the projector, and opened a file, the contents of which were immediately projected onto a silvery white screen.

Thomas pointed to the curtain with a laser pointer and said: "This past weekend, my client, Martin Davis's "Summer of Jeans" starring Martin Davis, was released in North America, and the first weekend box office was a huge success! ”

Justin has already seen the news and statistics, Martin Davis has continued his upward momentum, and the impact will be even greater in the future.

Thomas clicked on an excerpt from the interview: "Warner Bros. executives talked about the box office, saying that Martin's personal influence in the first week of North America could have such a result, and the box office figure increased by at least one-third." ”

He gestured to Natasha.

Natasha switches to the next page, which is dominated by pictures, jeans premiere live photos and videos.

She clicked on the video, and immediately a jumble of voices rang out.

"Cult of the Coke God!"

"Coke Master!"

In the video, Martin stands on the red carpet, and similar shouts come and go.

Hundreds of fans pulled out Coca-Cola and held it high in the air to salute Martin, the leader of the Coke Cult.

After the video played, Natasha clicked the mouse again, and the screen switched to screenshots of Internet forums and various news reports.

It is full of various short comments and gossip from netizens and the media about the Coke God Cult.

"Although the Cult of the Coke God was never really founded, it has been widely recognized, and the reputation of Martin as the leader of the Church has spread all over the United States." Thomas was confident and spoke with extra confidence: "Another point, Martin is only 24 years old now, his career has just started, and he will only get higher and higher in the next three years." ”

As if he hadn't heard Thomas's words, Justin stared at the projection screen and said, "The Cult of Coke, it's so interesting." ”

Thomas said with a smile: "No one expected that Martin's unintentional move would have such a big impact. ”

He duly switched back to the subject of the negotiations: "For Martin, who is so special to Coca-Cola, a star who is generally favored in the future, is not worth the endorsement of $15 million in 3 years?" ”

In fact, this number did not exceed the upper limit of Coca-Cola, and Justin opened the laptop in front of him and once again browsed various news about Martin on the Internet.

There are many positive reviews, and Martin's public image is very good.

As for Anne Hathaway's iron fans attacking Martin's so-called cheating and flowering, as long as it does not involve breaking the law, it has never been a problem in celebrity commercial endorsements.

On the contrary, if they can create lace that attracts national attention like Leonardo and other big-name stars, they will help push behind the scenes.

Justin went to see Martin's future work plans.

Coca-Cola has consulted experts from CS that "Wanted", which is being filmed in Atlanta, has the blessing of this year's big events, as long as it is not too bad, the probability of success is very high.

The next job is the male lead in "The Departed", playing against Leonardo, Martin Scorsese's gangster film, even Justin, an outsider, knows that the odds of success are much higher than failure.

There is also a Presidential Medal of Freedom in July.

In other words, in the next two or three years, even if Martin Davis is unlucky, the chance of his fall is very small.

Justin no longer hesitated, and said: "We accept a $15 million endorsement fee for three years. ”

Thomas breathed a sigh of relief, and the most crucial point was settled.

He stood up and shook hands with Justin opposite: "Look, we're getting more and more on the same page. ”

Justin shook his hand hard: "Hopefully the rest will be as smooth as today." ”

The most difficult point is not the end, there are dozens of other small items to discuss, such as the agent of a professional brokerage company like Thomas, even when Martin stands for the Coca-Cola event, the time of attendance and the vehicle he rides, must be specific to the terms of the contract.

My wife and daughter don't have a fever anymore, I don't need to take care of it, and I can concentrate on coding words today
