As one of the leading production and distribution companies in Hollywood, Weinstein Pictures has produced and distributed many good movies, such as "Soul Catcher" and "The King's Speech"."
Cinema Paradiso", etc.Films operated through Weinstein Pictures have so far received more than 300 Oscar nominations and more than 70 awards, making them Oscar winners.And its controller, Harvey Weinstein, is known as the controller behind the Oscars.Weinstein Pictures, which later collapsed because of the Harvey Weinstein affair, was still prosperous at this time, and it was a leader in Hollywood's second-tier production and distribution companies.Harvey's vision is also very sharp, and through insider information at Warner Pictures, Harvey learned that there is a film in the far east that is very much in line with the appetite of North American audiences and is seeking to be distributed overseas.Harvey, who felt that it was profitable, immediately found DreamWorks Studios and Li He through the China Film Group, who had been in contact with him."
Well, I understand, Mr.
Weinstein, our negotiators have already traveled to North America and hope for a good outcome......Okay, goodbye, sir. ”Li He hung up the phone with a strange expression.Tang Qianqian sat on Li He's chair and watched dramas, drinking milk tea, eating snacks, watching Li He hang up the phone, and asked curiously, "Who is it?"
”Li He still had the same expression: "It's Harvey Weinstein." ”"Who is Harvey?"
Although she is a directing major, Tang Qianqian obviously doesn't know much about Hollywood, only knows Hollywood stars such as Tom Tom and Xiao Lizi.In fact, it is normal, just like many viewers will not know who Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Cheng Zhiwen are."
The president of Weinstein Pictures, he has produced a lot of good movies, have you seen "Soul Catcher"?"
Li He asked."
I've seen it, what's wrong?
Did he shoot it?
”Tang Qianqian wondered."
It was distributed by Weinstein Pictures, as well as "The King's Speech", "Cinema Paradiso", etc., and the films it produced won more than 70 Oscars, which is a relatively powerful existence in the second tier of Hollywood."
Li He explained."
Oh......, it's so good!
So what's the matter with you?
”Li He said inexplicably: "Weinstein Pictures wants to talk to us about distribution. ”"Oh, did you agree?"
Tang Qianqian put down the snack and looked excited."
No, how can this kind of thing be discussed on the phone, I'll let Sister Xue Wu go and talk about it, let's see the situation, our first choice is Warner."
Li He said.Harvey Weinstein later exposed a series of scandals, which, combined with the rise of feminism, led to the bankruptcy of Weinstein Pictures.So Li He's first choice is Warner, not Weinstein Pictures, but then again, no one in the public knows that Harvey is that kind of person.The capital in June has gradually warmed up, at this time there is no later wind and sand control results, the capital will often encounter sand and dust weather, at this time it is estimated that no one wants to go out to eat a mouthful of ashes.The entire studio is Li He and Tang Qianqian, and the others either followed Yang Xuewu to North America or took a vacation.It stands to reason that any film company or studio is the busiest time before the release of a new film, but Li He gave the studio employees a holiday, and many people enjoyed a three-day vacation while wondering about their boss's strange brain circuits. ..................On the other side, Yang Xuewu and his entourage, this time led by Wang Hejun of Penguin Pictures, Wang Hejun is a good man, in addition to supporting Cheng Zhiwen's work as always, Wang Hejun is also responsible for distribution issues.Cheng Zhiwen was worried that his old buddy would suffer because of his personality, so he specially sent Zhou Jingwen over.Coincidentally, the person who participated in the negotiation of Light Pictures was also a bewitching beauty named Liu Xiangyun.Although she looks more charming, Liu Xiangyun's ability to sit in the position of deputy director of the distribution department of Light Pictures is not sleeping, but her real ability.Watching the three strong women compete for beauty, Wang Hejun felt a headache, and the competition between beauties was also swordsmanship."
We should continue to wait for news from Warners to be safer."
Liu Xiangjun said."
Wait?
What results can you wait for?
Don't forget, it's summer now, and Warner Pictures still values "Superman: Man of Steel" more during this schedule, after all, it is a movie produced by its own company, and it is impossible to invest resources in "Seven Deadly Sins". ”Zhou Jingwen retorted."
You ......"
Liu Xiangjun also knew that what Zhou Jingwen said was the truth, so she changed the topic and asked: "Then what do you say?"
still continued to look for Lionsgate, but they clearly refused. ”Wang Hejun and his entourage had tried Lionsgate before, but when they heard that even Warner Pictures was not interested, and Lionsgate, which wanted to become the seventh largest film company in Hollywood, refused without thinking about it.I had also been to Disney's Touchstone Pictures before, although the president of Touchstone Pictures expressed some interest, but I heard Wang Hejun say that the producer wanted to participate in the box office share, so he refused without considering it.Yang Xuewu hugged her shoulders and watched the two quarrel coldly, she had worked in Hollywood, and she deeply understood that some concepts were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and they would not be able to reverse it for a while."
Jingle bell ......"
The mobile phone rang, interrupting the two who were arguing, and they all looked up at Yang Xuewu.Yang Xuewu calmly opened the mobile phone, and saw that it was actually a domestic number, which should be late at night in China at this time."
Hey, hello......""
Sister Xue Wu, it's me, Li He.""
Director Li He, haven't slept so late?
Is there something going on?
”In fact, Yang Xuewu generally calls Li He Xiaohe, but she is really tired of hearing the quarrel between Zhou Jingwen and Liu Xiangyun, so she deliberately raised her voice and mentioned Director Li He to deter the two.Not to mention, the two of them really didn't quarrel anymore, they both pricked up their ears Yang Xuewu's speech, and Yang Xuewu simply turned on the hands-free.In fact, many directors have no say in the issue of distribution, but Li He is different, because he is not only an investor, but also a screenwriter, director and producer, and he has a great say in the project "Seven Deadly Sins"."
Well, Warner Pictures has explicitly rejected our share request, but the buyout fee has been raised to $6 million.""
So you mean, drop the share request and agree to Warner's offer?"
Yang Xuewu pretended to be respectful.On the other hand, Li He rolled his eyes, Sister Xue Wu must be doing something again."
No, we still insist on issuing shares, but change companies.""
Which company?
In the past two days, we have visited all the second-tier Hollywood distribution companies in Berkurban, and they are not interested in our proposal. ”"Weinstein Pictures, they're interested in .....""
Wait, you don't mean it's Harvey Weinstein's Weinstein Pictures, do you?""
Yes, that's right, anyway, let's talk about it!
If Warners still hasn't changed its attitude, then Weinstein Pictures will cooperate!
”"Okay, I got ......."
