405. Chapter 405 This is an opportunity
"Hey, Jude, how are you doing lately? I'm so glad to see you here." Under the swagger of the flash, Sean hugged Jude Law in suit and tie, and then stood together to let the reporter take photos.
"It's not bad. I'm about to see this movie that might make you unlucky is about to be released, so how could I not come and watch it?" Jude said jokingly while taking pictures.
"You just hope I will encounter a failure?" Sean asked immediately.
"Oh, of course, you haven't failed yet, right? Frankly speaking, I regret it now. If Tony had promised to star in "Cold Mountain", maybe I could get an Oscar nomination." Jude said with a serious expression, but when he saw a reporter leaning over his body, he almost put the recorder on his nose, and immediately patted Sean's arm and went inside.
"That's right, you should have a nomination." Sean followed him naturally and nodded, then sighed with emotion, not knowing whether he could get another nomination in a month or two.
Jude, who was wrong about his appearance, immediately slapped again, "Okay, don't you really think I hope you fail, right? I'm involved in this movie."
"Oh? You mean, you hope I failed, not this movie failed?" Sean asked immediately with his eyebrows raised.
"You guy...well, if you really think so, then that's it." Jude spread his hands straightforwardly.
Both of them couldn't help laughing. Sean was the first to reach out and mattend Jude. I have to say that this guy who didn't like him was very good when he became friends.
When I came to the screening archway, I was almost filled with people who came to attend the premiere. Although it was the Chinese Theater - because "The Aviator" had taken the scene here, Scorsese chose this place as the premiere. The Chinese Theater has held countless movie premieres over the past few decades. Even so, the archway is still crowded with people. Coupled with the large number of reporters outside, countless fans, as well as various promotional banners and large posters, it is worthy of being the premiere of a big-name director, which is even more lively than the previous premiere of "The Twelve Arhats". This is also the largest premiere Sean has participated in in recent years.
"Yes, I'm already excited. If I had known that I should have participated in the internal preview, I wouldn't be restless now." Standing in front of Scorsese, Sean complimented just right.
In addition to the director, there are many people around, such as Harvey Weinstein, who has a producer title, and Miramax has also invested in this movie. However, he is not very interested and looks a little absent-minded. Even so, he still teased a few words.
"I heard you broke up with the girl before? That's a pity. You two are very compatible. She has two movies with heroines released now, and her popularity is no less than you." The fat man said this, and he squeezed his eyes, fearing that others would not see what he wanted to say.
Sean could only roll his eyes. Well, in the Thanksgiving to Christmas period, in addition to "National Treasure", there is also a movie in which Jessica Bell plays the heroine. Yes, it is the third part of "Blade Warrior" mentioned last time, and it was released last week with "Twelve Arhats". Although the number of theaters and weekend box offices cannot be compared with Soderbergh's masterpiece, it is already very good for such a movie that is positioned as a medium investment.
"It's hard to say about love. If you like it, you get together, and if you don't like it, you get apart." Sean said calmly, and raised his chin to a tall girl. "When I was filming this movie, Kate was still single. Now that the movie is released, she is already married."
"Because I can't give you a chance, Sean." The other party immediately said and burst into laughter. She raised her slender eyebrows and her straightforward appearance was very fond of people.
This Cate is naturally not Blanchett who is constantly involved with Sean, but Beckinsale, who plays Ava Gardner in "The Aviator". This girl from England but with oriental characteristics has a unique charm and is charming. Although Sean did not provoke her at the beginning, she still felt that she was very attractive. Unfortunately, he had too many things to do at that time, so in a blink of an eye, others had already gotten married in the first half of this year, so the thought that arose in his heart was immediately extinguished.
"It seems that I have to find a way to turn my reputation around, otherwise it will be ruined." Sean laughed at himself, causing another burst of laughter.
Then, when Weinstein left, he immediately made an excuse to leave. On the one hand, he discussed with the fat man with something, and on the other hand, he also had some... well... to avoid the eyes of another Kate.
As one of the heroines, Cate Blanchett is naturally among these people. For reasons both of them know that she did not talk much to Sean, but her eyes would sweep over him from time to time. Most of the time it was normal, but sometimes it would make Sean feel oppressive. For example, when Kate said those words in the previous one, he sighed and was a little happy.
I won’t say that I sigh. This is a common problem for men. Even if he is sorry for her, he will inevitably lament when encountering such a situation. As for being happy, he can naturally feel that the other person cares about his own thoughts. This is also a common problem for men... It should be a common problem for people. If you have feelings for someone, you always hope that he can respond at any time.
Not to mention this for the time being, no matter how much they feel about each other, it is not a good time to talk, so Sean quickly transferred all his energy to Weinstein.
"How are you thinking about it, Harvey? This condition is not too much." After no one around, Sean immediately asked the fat man in front of him.
"You're so optimistic about us?" Weinstein raised his eyebrows and did not answer directly, "We are leaving the house with nothing."
"So what?" Sean shrugged, "As long as people are still there, new companies can be established at any time. Similarly, as long as people are still there, it is only a matter of time before new companies surpass old companies."
Weinstein didn't chew on it, and after looking at him for a while, he said again: "If someone else came to lobby, I wouldn't think about it at all, but you came to lobby..."
He didn't continue talking, but his eyes narrowed, making Sean feel a little uncomfortable.
"Why, my good vision has been taken so seriously? Since that's the case, you should agree more." In order to avoid being too embarrassed, Sean called out.
Unexpectedly, Weinstein showed a serious expression: "There is 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 gone from an extra actor to a first-line star. Every movie has a good box office and reputation, and it has its own production company. It has developed very quickly. The investment he is willing to pay has also received huge returns. At this young age, he has more wealth than most big-name stars, directors and producers. It is impossible not to pay attention to it."
Sean blinked. At first, there was nothing, but at the end, he slowly felt a sense of pleasure.
"Then I shouldn't be very proud." Although Sean said in a joking tone, the excitement still revealed a lot.
As a person who was mediocre in his previous life and had not made any achievements in the past ten years, after looking back, he found that his actions in the past five years have not only surpassed his father in this life, but also left many people behind him. The feeling of excitement is difficult to describe in words.
"So I have to think carefully and I can't let you take advantage." Weinstein smiled at this time, and his appearance looked very cunning.
Sean was stuck at all. It would be too stupid if he could not see that the other party was joking at this time.
I have said a long time ago that you can participate in ordinary negotiations, and I am not good at dealing with the old fox. Sean complained in his heart, but he didn't stop saying that: "So, are you refusing?"
Although it is impossible to deal with a cunning guy like Weinstein, it does not mean that Sean has no choice. At this time, he has to pretend to be naughty and throw out the problem directly. After all, starting from Vladimir's proposal, although the other party did not agree, he never said anything.
"Of course not, Sean, I just need to consider and consider," Weinstein said, "Although your words are correct, the key lies in people, but a person's energy is always limited. I have no way to work hard in the next twenty years, so in order to make the most of the current twenty years, I have to be careful."
After saying that, he patted his arm and was about to leave.
Sean, who was stunned for two seconds, immediately asked, "But you can't just delay like this, right?"
"New Year, I will give you the answer after the New Year." Weinstein said without looking back.
After looking at his back for a while, Sean had to sigh. This is the energy of the boss of an old production company. He doesn't care about the investment he delivers to his door, and he has to consider it again and again before he can decide.
The whole thing is actually very simple. As the founder of the famous Miramax, the Weinstein brothers and their parent company Disney have had a falling out. Disney does not want Miramax to become bigger, but just position them as a medium-sized production company, but the Weinstein brothers are unwilling to accept this, so they have always had conflicts with each other.
It would be fine if it was just like this, but this year, the conflict suddenly intensified because the Weinstein brothers disregarded the warnings of their parent company and released Michael Moore's documentary "Fahrenheit 911". This documentary aimed at revealing the truth about 911 directly targeted the conflict at the White House. Bush, who was making a profit from the war on terrorism, was naturally unhappy. So the movie completed at the beginning of the year was never released. It was not until after winning the award in Cannes that Weinstein, who was waiting and watching, made up his mind.
Although the documentary caused a sensation after its release and the box office was successful, with more than 100 million in North America alone, it still angered Disney, which wanted to maintain a family appearance and maintain a good relationship with the government. Although the Weinstein brothers are still quarreling with Disney, various gossips show that the Weinstein brothers are likely to leave their homes and then set up a new film production company.
