Harvey smiled like an old fox. In front of him, Li Rui looked like a little sheep who was both pitiful, weak, loyal, honest and simple.

The little lamb sat next to the old fox and listened to his swearing.

"Not to mind Rudin, his nickname in Hollywood is [Rude Scott], that guy is so grumpy that if he doesn't like you, he will smash you with anything on the table, anything! You know,

He once smashed his assistant's head with a printer." Harvey's opening remark was to mock Rudin. As expected, Hollywood bosses were very straightforward and never hid.

Without waiting for Li Rui to respond, Harvey continued: "This guy fired 250 assistants in five years, one per week on average, hahaha, if he changed his lover every week, I would still admire him.

He, but fired an assistant every week? Hahaha!"

Li Rui glanced at Rudin who was dozens of meters away, really afraid that these words would reach Rudin's ears, and then threw a chair over and killed Harvey to eliminate harm for the people. Wouldn't it be a disaster for me to hit me?

Harvey continued without any concern: "When this bastard was working with me on "Yi Shi Shi Shi Shi", he even knew that I was quitting smoking, and even gave me a box of cigarettes, fucking the hell!"

Li Rui thought to himself that I was just a fool from Huaguo. There is no need to tell me the battle between you big guys in this detail.

But he also knew that Harvey had laid the groundwork for these things and must have some intentions.

Sure enough, after Harvey was nagging and belittled his opponents, he changed the subject: "In this year's Oscar nominated film, there is a very strong opponent named "Tree of Life". If "Artist" wants to win the best film

, We must develop smart and purposeful strategies.”

Li Rui said modestly: "You are the producer, you have the final say."

Harvey laughed and said, "I like investors like you the most. Leave professional things to professionals, which is the most correct way!"

Li Rui said: "This happens to be my motto. I am more professional in investing, and you are more professional in winning awards. We each perform our duties, so we will definitely get a good result for "Artist".

Harvey was very happy and said repeatedly: "You are right! I asked "Artist" to be previewed in September last year, but the release date of Magnesium must be postponed as much as possible. The investors in Faguo are still not bad.

Wish they know nothing! Why did my "The King's Speech" beat Rudin's "Social Network" last year because I arranged the massive release before the Oscars, and the popularity brought by "Social Network" was already

It faded, and the popularity of "The King's Speech" just gotten up!"

"Look at the newspapers today, who is still discussing "Social Network"? They are all discussing the recently released "Artist"! Although there is some sarcastic news, whether it is good or bad news, it is better than no news,

Those audiences who claim to be fooled will make Oscar voters realize that Oscars need to pay attention to quality. Ordinary audiences are too uneducated and don’t need to care about the feelings of those guys!”

His speaking speed was very fast, and Li Rui only understood a little bit.

However, Li Rui had roughly learned some inside information about the award-winning of "Artist" in his previous life.

This movie can be said to be in order to win the Oscars since its birth. In fact, the quality of the art is not very high, and it is even more impossible to make any progress in box office, nor is it groundbreaking. The reason why it is regarded by the Oscars

, on the one hand, it tells the story about Hollywood, and on the other hand, the seemingly noble form of silent films influences the judges' impression.

Of course, Harvey's methods are not uncommon. The time difference between the preview day and the opening day he just mentioned is an extremely effective tactic.

It can be said that the quality of the film itself is only half due to Harvey's clever public relations methods.

Li Rui knew that Harvey could not just take credit, he was waiting for the other party to take action.

Sure enough, Harvey changed the subject and said: "The next is a very important period. We need to handle the relationship with every Oscar judge, which requires some publicity costs. If Mr. Li can donate generously, it would be better!

”

Li Rui smiled and said, "How much does it cost?"

Harvey raised a finger.

Li Rui frowned: "Is it ten million magnesium... isn't it too much?"

He only spent four million to invest in "Artist", and now he has to pay another 10 million to win the award, which is really not cost-effective.

However, considering the fame and influence brought by the Oscars, Li Rui could barely accept it.

Harvey was startled: "You misunderstood, I mean, one million magnesium."

"One million?" Li Rui was so amused and crying. You have laid so much for me only one million. I have already written the check.

"Is it still too much?" Harvey said with some embarrassment, "It costs at least 800,000... Seven hundred thousand is barely enough."

Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Just as you said, one million. But when I win the award, I have to go on stage, and I have the opportunity to make a speech alone!"

Harvey was stunned, but he didn't expect Li Rui to agree so happily.

As for the opportunity to make a speech, he actually doesn't care. After all, he has made it several times, so it doesn't matter if he gives it to Li Rui once.

"No problem!" said Harvey.

"A word is determined." Li Rui stretched out his hand.

The old fox and the little sheep all came to an agreement to get what they needed.

After the funding matter was negotiated, Harvey said excitedly: "Mr. Li, I don't know if you are interested in investing in other Hollywood blockbusters. They are the kind of real blockbusters that can make a lot of money in the cinema, not "Artist"

》A movie like this that can only win awards!”

Li Ruixin is talking nonsense, of course I am interested, otherwise why I invest in movies? You won’t really think I am trying to promote art, right?

Harvey said: "I have two big-produced movies in my hands, both of which have great box office potential. One is "Alien Battlefield" collaborated with Warner Bros. and the other is "Hugo" by Paramount.

, I guarantee you make a big profit!"

When Li Rui heard the names of these two movies, he almost laughed out loud.

Harvey, Harvey, I just gave you one million magnesium dollars, so you dug a hole for me. Is it going to kill me?

If we select the worst box office movies from 2010 to 2020, both of them Harvey said can be among them.

"Alien Battlefield" invested 250 million yuan, and only won 280 million yuan worldwide, which directly led to the resignation of Disney producer Rich Ross.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

Although "Hugo" is a masterpiece by famous director Martin Scorsese, it is too difficult to find the North. The investment of 110 million magnesium only earned 170 million box office. The only comfort is that

Win five insignificant little prizes at the Oscars.
