Chapter 319: Harvey's Wife
There was no one else in the room, Harvey Weinstein sat and watched TV for a while, while the entertainment channel was broadcasting the premiere of "The Departed."
Martin Davis took a cow on the red carpet in a unique way.
The fans and reporters in the audience were a sensation.
"It's kind of interesting." Harvey has never seen a premiere like this: "It's a talent. ”
Unfortunately, this man didn't deal well with him, and recently cost Weinstein Pictures a fortune.
Because of Heath Ledger's affairs, the filming of "I'm Not There" was completed nearly ten days later than scheduled, and the cost increased for every day the crew delayed.
There was a knock on the door, Harvey went over and knocked on the door, and Matt Damon entered the room.
Harvey asked, "Shouldn't you be in Toronto for the film festival?" ”
Matt Damon looked at the premiere on TV and said: "The Departed crew didn't pay much attention to me and didn't force me to participate in the promotion, I came back for two days off and then went to London. ”
Harvey asked directly: "They don't help you get an Oscar nomination?" ”
"The nomination for Best Supporting Actor is for Martin Davis, so ......" Matt Damon shrugged.
Harvey laughed: "Oscar for Best Supporting Actor? Martin Davis has a lot of ideas. He smiled more and more: "It's good to have ideas." ”
Matt Damon said, "I heard he had an unpleasant fall out with your crew in New York. ”
Harvey didn't seem to care: "Lost me hundreds of thousands of dollars." ”
Matt Damon seemed to compliment him: "The Oscars are your show. ”
Harvey thought of Pitt, who had been complaining to him about Martin, and said: "Rose McGowan was a little noisy after filming "Horror Planet". ”
Matt Damon understood: "I'm going to warn her. ”
Harvey's cell phone rang, and his wife, Georgina Chapman, called, and he went to the side to answer: "Honey, is Toronto fun?" ”
Georgina said, "It's interesting, aren't you coming?" ”
Harvey said: "I have a lot of things to do here, so I won't go." ”
After the phone call and a few more words with Damon, Harvey left the hotel with him.
In the lobby of the hotel, seeing the two leaving, the three of them immediately got together.
Lukaku said softly: "Xavi's long-term private room has been found, let's find a way." ”
Courtois craned his neck and said, "Start with the hotel, listen to the phone calls in the room first." ”
Hazard reminded: "This is not New York, we are not on our own turf, we have to be careful in what we do. ”
The three of them immediately took action.
Meanwhile, the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto.
Martin finished a promotional interview and came back from outside, Scorsese was going to have a treat tonight, and he didn't bother to go upstairs again, so he just went to the rest place, found a spare place to sit and wait.
At the next table on the left, there was a brown-haired woman, and because of her outstanding appearance, Martin took a second look.
The other party is about thirty years old, tall, and has a body shape and temperament that looks very much like a model.
The man also turned to look at Martin.
The two discovered at the same time and met.
Martin took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Georgina." ”
Georgina and Kate Winslet have been friends for many years: "Hello, Martin, I didn't expect to meet here. ”
Martin immediately mentioned the mutual friend on both sides: "Some time ago, Kate and I were filming in London, and Kate also specifically mentioned you, saying that her clothes in public were all designed by you, which made her a lot more colorful. ”
Georgina smiled: "Actually, it was Kate who cared about our sisterhood and gave me a chance to sponsor her." ”
Martin asked, "Remember that your Marchesa brand has a design store in Los Angeles, leave me a contact information, and I'll take my friends back to visit." ”
Georgina's clothing brand took the high-end route, and immediately took out a personal business card and handed it to Martin.
Similarly, Martin gave her own personal business card.
Georgina knows that her husband has some prejudices about Martin, but she has her own social circle, and she doesn't ask about Hollywood grievances, and she is bent on creating a new luxury clothing brand.
She is married to Harvey Weinstein, and at the same time she is married to the other party's network.
It didn't take much effort for many big-name Hollywood actresses to wear her haute couture and walk on the Oscar red carpet.
Georgina wants to expand her network even further: "Every once in a while, I have a fashion party in New York or Los Angeles, and you are welcome to come and join it. ”
"I've been there and I'm impressed." It was at Georgina's fashion party that Martin met Wes Craven: "I will definitely go again if I have the chance." ”
Georgina smiled back.
The sound of high heels falling to the ground sounded next to him, and Martin turned his head to see Cate Blanchett coming over.
Georgina waved lightly at Martin, "It's time for me to go." ”
Martin stood up and said, "Goodbye." ”
Georgina went over, grabbed Blanchett's arm, and walked towards the door of the hotel together.
Blanchett was wearing Georgina's brand Marchesa evening dress today, and she waited a little further away and whispered: "Martin Davis is sinister, you should be careful when dealing with him." ”
But Georgina, who heard about Martin from her friend Kate, was the exact opposite, smiled and didn't take it to heart, and said, "He can't eat me." ”
Blanchett was about to speak again, the hotel automatic doors opened, and Jack Nicholson, wearing brown sunglasses, walked in.
Seeing this old bastard, Blanchett immediately remembered what had happened at Pinewood Studios in England.
Even if she was well-cultivated, she couldn't help it, and she was embarrassed and annoyed at the time.
Blanchett said coldly: "Shameless! ”
Who is Nicholson? He was a jerk when he was young, he was on par with Marlon Brando in middle age, and he became the leader of the bastard trio in his old age.
He stopped, took off his sunglasses, looked at Blanchett, and asked seriously, "Is it okay to get my bruised and swollen ass?" If you want to do it again, it's okay here, I don't mind. ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around looked at them, and their faces were full of gossip.
Nicholson knew it was the firecrackers at Pinewood Studios, and although he was misunderstood, he didn't care.
As the boss of the trio, it is nothing to carry this shit for the younger brother, and said loudly: "I love Blanchett, last time I was in the UK, I accidentally ...... her ass when I was doing errands"
Although the actor's face is as thick as the city wall, Blanchett can't fight Nicholson at all, and he stops: "Shut up, you old bastard." ”
Nicholson laughed, "My room is on the 41st floor, No. 9, and you are welcome to come over at any time tonight." ”
Georgina also wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh, so she endured it very hard, so she simply pulled Blanchett and whispered: "Don't make trouble, let's go quickly, don't forget that you still have to attend the premiere of "Babel". ”
Blanchett stopped paying attention to Nicholson, walked forward with a tense face, and when he reached the door of the automatic door, he saw Leonardo watching the excitement with great interest.
The two had worked together a few years ago, and although they didn't make friends, they were more familiar with each other, and she said, "You guys are really bastards. ”
Leonardo shrugged and said nothing.
Nicholson, the old bastard, was not done yet, and turned around and shouted, "I must come over tonight, don't worry, I'll be light!" ”
Blanchett was getting into the car and almost hit his head on the roof.
Leonardo walked over and walked towards Martin with his arms around him: "You really don't want to ask for face. ”
Nicholson didn't care: "You and Martin are so young, don't throw away your face, I'm in my 60s, what do you want this face for?" ”
Martin beckoned, "This way." ”
The two of them came over, pulled out their chairs and sat down.
Nicholson asked, "Am I righteous enough?" Bear the infamy for you! I've heard that Bell took a two-week break before returning to the Lethal Magic crew. ”
Martin answered, "So, Leo and I are both wholeheartedly rooting for you to be the boss. ”
Leonardo said, "I just got out of the car and chatted with someone outside, and I found that you had a good time chatting with Georgina Chapman. ”
Nicholson asked, "Harvey Weinstein's wife?" ”
"That's right, it's her." Leonardo looked at Martin carefully and said deliberately: "Sure enough, you like beautiful women around thirty years old the most." ”
Nicholson said again: "Harvey wants to deal with you, and then you have your eye on Harvey's wife? Awesome, Martin, even an old bastard of mine is going to admire you, the best guy in our trio at taking out bad ideas. ”
Martin was quite innocent: "I just met, talk to someone, how come it all tastes bad in your mouth?" ”
Leonardo was not verbose and said to Nicholson: "I plan to open a market, $1,000, and I bet that Martin will definitely get Harvey's wife in the future." ”
Nicholson said: "I'm also betting that Martin will get Georgina. ”
Martin was furious: "I'm betting $2,000, absolutely not!" He thought for a moment, but it was not quite right, and said, "There must be a time limit, and you can't wait for twenty years to get the bet, right?" ”
"Up to two years!" Leonardo said, "Man, you're lost! ”
Nicholson felt that he had seen through everything: "He added the time constraints, and it was clear that he had no confidence. ”
Martin didn't bother to continue, and quickly changed the subject.
The trio discussed tonight's premiere of Babel, starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, who is also considered one of the biggest competitors of "The Departed" in the awards season.
It was close to seven o'clock when Scorsese called, and the three of Martin went to the restaurant on the second floor together to have dinner with director Scorsese.
After the Departed, regardless of the success or failure of the Oscars, Scorsese plans to take a two-year break and wait until 2009 at the earliest.
Five marriages have put Scorsese under heavy financial pressure, but he has been scheduling films for many years, and the high income is enough for him to stop and take a good breath.
Therefore, marriage is also a source of motivation for artists' creations.
The more divorces there are, the more motivated artists become.
Scorsese wants to rest, Martin doesn't care, Leonardo will be affected to a certain extent, he has mainly worked with Scorsese all these years.
But to Leonardo's level, there will be no shortage of good scripts and opportunities to work with big directors.
It is an exaggeration to say that the top feature film projects will go to Leonardo first, and what he can't look down on will be the turn of others.
