Chapter three hundred and twenty seventh smart man

Since this year's Oscars, the Weinstein brothers have accelerated their private work and wanted to leave Miramax in a decent way. Both of these brothers are smart people. They have long noticed Michael Eisner's dissatisfaction with them and knew that the other party would drive them away sooner or later.

In fact, in order to completely control Miramax, Walt Disney's board of directors has been making trouble in the past few years, and Miramax's management has been kicked out by them. Otherwise, with Bob Weinstein's management methods, the two would not be so helpless in the end.

The Weinstein brothers have always been ambitious and wanted to make Miramax bigger, so they accepted Disney's investment, which turned the film company founded by the two into one of Disney's many subsidiaries.

When Disney became the largest shareholder, Michael Eisner did not fulfill his promise. He just wanted to treat Miramax as a subsidiary that distributed art films and niche movies, and did not hand them over to any big productions. He also kept interfering in Miramax's specific management work. With his management style, he naturally caused the situation today.

"If you don't have any objection, the new company will be called Weinstein Pictures, and its headquarters will be in Burbank. Many managers who originally belonged to Miramax will resign from their current positions and join the new company."

This kind of real film company is not just a shell that can be supported by a few people. Due to the emergence of Ryan, Weinstein Pictures was released much earlier than in his previous life. Although Miramax's original management has been removed by Michael Eisner in recent years, it has retained a considerable number of people. These people are the team of the Weinstein brothers.

A well-known film company must not only have movies being produced, but also have a huge library of films. Weinstein Pictures only has zero in this regard, and everything has to start from scratch. But Harvey Weinstein is not depressed. Since even Drew Barrymore's slutty chick, after receiving the support of the person opposite, can make Flower Pictures generate significant profits every year, not to mention that its brother is still a veteran in this industry.

Ryan and Harvey Weinstein briefly discussed some major issues, such as the amount of investment, the specific division of shares, etc., and the details will naturally be handled by lawyers and accountants.

The biggest shareholder is naturally him, Ni and Weinstein's brothers, and there are also a few scattered investors who occupy a few shares and basically have no say in the future.

Ryan is not good at managing film companies, and he is not as ambitious as Michael Eisner, who has the ambition to control everything under extreme inflation. Harvey Weinstein has a good vision, and Bob Weinstein has a good management approach. He does not intend to participate in specific affairs.

"While making my own videos, I plan to buy out some more distinctive movies from Europe and the Far East and take them to North America for screening." Harvey Weinstein said about the company's future plans, "This will not only enrich the film library, but also achieve profitability as soon as possible."

"I won't interfere with the specific management."

Ryan waved his hand casually. "I believe in your ability and Bob."

"Do you know, Ryan, this is the most convincing thing about you." Harvey Weinstein laughed.

"You know, Harvey. I'm good at movies, not these tedious and tedious things."

Ryan had no objection to Harvey Weinstein's proposal just now. This was what the other party did in his previous life, and he did it well. Although he sometimes made some deceptions, how could he make money without cheating overseas filmmakers?

"What a pity "Shakespeare in Love." Harvey Weinstein suddenly showed a regretful look, "I originally wanted to use this movie to impact the best movie Little Golden Man, now I can only give up."

After hearing what he said, Ryan realized that he had brought about another change without realizing it. Miramax lost the Weinstein brothers. So will the produced "Shakespeare in Love" win the Oscar for Best Picture?

Is this indirectly helping DreamWorks and Spielberg? Maybe I should ask them for some benefits.

After ending the conversation here, Ryan came to a villa in front of the beach of Malibu at the invitation of Harvey Weinstein. The vestibule figure on the seaside was shaking, and handsome men and beautiful women were passing by. A small celebration party had begun.

"Where is Bob?"

Hearing Ryan’s question, Harvey Weinstein interrupted his jokes with people around him, “He is in New York, raising funds from banks and dealing with those vampires has always been troublesome.”

As he said that, he gave in and introduced the plump brown-haired girl in front of him, "Ryan, this is Rachel Weisz, a beautiful rose from England. Rachel, I guess I don't need to introduce this? He is the investor in the movie you will star in."

"Rachel is the heroine selected by director Somos and Melanie for "The Mummy"." He added.

"Hello, I'm glad to meet you." Ryan gently shook her hand.

This is a plump woman with a figure that looks a bit like Kate Winslet. The difference is that she doesn't have the bloated feeling of Winslet, but it looks just right.

The script written by Stephen Somos was officially launched after Ryan nodded, and the story about Pharaoh and the mummy was officially launched. The selection of actors was left to Somos himself and Melanie Sloan. As for whether the original cast would be adopted, Ryan didn't care. This kind of adventure movie full of comedy elements can be found in Hollywood.

But unexpectedly, Stephen Somos still chose this British woman.

"In fact, I not only lived in London, but also had a few friends from the UK." Seeing Harvey Weinstein who was quickly away, Ryan shook his head without a trace and looked at the woman in front of him.

"You're talking about Kate?" Rachel Weizi asked tentatively. After Ryan nodded, he looked at the other side with a squint, "We're here together today."

"You know each other?" Ryan followed her gaze, but it was a strange figure.

The other party seemed to have noticed them, turned around and waved to Rachel Weizi, and walked over.

Seeing her appearance clearly, Ryan could only sigh that there were too many women in the UK named Kate. This Kate was not the Kate Winslet he mentioned.

Perhaps seeing Ryan's surprised eyes, Rachel Weizi quickly added, "Ryan, aren't Kate you mentioned, Miss Beckinsale?"

"Kate Winslet." Ryan shrugged.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. Is this woman really confused? Or is it intentional? He and Kate Winslet have long been reported by many media for becoming friends because of the filming of "Titanic".

When the tall woman with long dark brown hair came over, Rachel Weizi introduced them to them, Ryan chatted with them for a few casual words and was about to leave.

"Ryan, can you help me?"

Seeing Ryan's inquiring eyes, Rachel Vizi lowered her voice and said quickly, "Kate is preparing to attend the DreamWorks audition, and the producer is Mr. Spielberg."

"Rachel!" Kate Beckinsale pulled him hard.

It was as rumored, a brave woman. Ryan smiled slightly and said politely, "If you meet Stephen, I will mention this matter to him."

"Ryan, we..."

Before Rachel Vizi could finish her words, she was interrupted by Kate Beckinsale, "Thank you, Ryan."

Listening to the other party’s sincere thanks, Ryan sighed inwardly and asked, “What is the movie?”

The two women immediately showed a look of surprise. He was obviously polite and dealing with what he said just now. Now that he has asked about the name of the movie, he will probably really help.

"The story about World War II should be called "Pearl Harbor" if it is not changed later." Although I was very happy, Kate Beckinsale remained calm enough.

"It is said that the director has confirmed that it is Mr. Michael Bey. The film has just been launched soon, and it will be filmed in the second half of next year." Rachel Weizi added.

It turned out to be "Pearl Harbor".

Ryan nodded and calculated the time. The movie was indeed almost time to prepare for the early stage, but he remembered that Miss Beckinsale, according to her previous life, seemed to be pregnant. The most beautiful little beauty among the second generation of Hollywood stars will be born next year.

"Ryan..." Rachel Weizi's voice pulled back his thoughts.

"Okay, I will talk about this with Stephen and Michael." The other party was not pregnant or not and did his own thing. Ryan shook his finger gently and continued, "I'm just making an introduction, and it depends on the effect of your audition."

"Thank you, thank you, Ryan." This result has exceeded their expectations.

Ryan waved his hand and turned away. Judging from his past experience, even if he didn't interfere, Kate Beckinsale would still win that role, just "Pearl Harbor"...

Forget it, this movie is almost impossible to save. The explosion is not played with the explosion, but instead plays love triangle. In addition, the success in recent years has led to some problems in the mentality. If you want to shoot more things in addition to business, you are doomed to fail.

It can only be said that the explosion Bet is just the explosion Bet, and he will never become James Cameron. Perhaps he can only understand this after experiencing a painful failure.

"Hell, Harvey, why have you caused so much trouble?" Walking to Harvey Weinstein, Ryan took a cup of soda and drank most of it in one sip.
