Meiyu: I don’t care about the cost when making movies

Chapter 136 Which one do you want?Of course I want them all!
And as Kirk Douglas's influence fades, the Douglas family's influence in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is also rapidly declining.

After all, connections and influence require profits to maintain.

With Harvey's current connections and influence, it is not difficult for him to kill the Douglas family. Even because of his own huge influence in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, he has done more than others at the same level. Much simpler.

After thinking about the hurdles involved, Wayne couldn't help but shake his head at the filth and darkness of Hollywood.

Harvey thought he was still worried. Seeing this, he couldn't help but smile ambiguously and said in a low voice: "If you can't save face and speak up, I can help you. I guarantee that this woman will take the initiative to crawl into your bed tonight."

Wayne thought for a moment, then shook his head.

This made Harvey a little regretful. He also wanted to use this to build a relationship with Wayne again. After all, this way of building a relationship was no worse than an exchange of interests, and it cost him almost nothing.

However, Wayne's next words almost made his waist tremble: "Just one Catherine Zeta Jones is not enough, there are also Jennifer Connelly and Rachel Weisz, I want all three~ "

"Ahem! Are you serious?!"

"Of course, otherwise why do you think so many women fall in love with me wholeheartedly?" Wayne asked with a smile.

Harvey opened his mouth wide and stared at him dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Because of Wayne's ability, he had vaguely heard about it.After all, in addition to those women he has held for a long time, the earliest Natalie Portman and Liv Tyler, and later Julia Roberts and Kate Winslet all had in-depth exchanges with him. Personal experience.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Harvey came to his senses and immediately took over the job.

"Then please, Harvey, I will never forget you as a friend!" Wayne said with a smile and patted his shoulder.

Although he is nearly 30 years younger than Harvey, Wayne's aristocratic temperament, as well as his own financial resources and influence, did not make Harvey dissatisfied at all. His smile became even brighter.

"No problem, then you play first and I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, Harvey turned around and walked quickly towards Jennifer Connelly.

For him, it is very simple to get Catherine Zeta Jones and Rachel Weisz. If they come to the party, they have this idea, even if it is a group of four. If the teammate is Wayne, they will It should not be refused.

The only one who is more difficult is Jennifer Connelly. After all, Jennifer Connelly is now a first-line actress in Hollywood, and her status is completely different from that of the first-line actress.

"But this woman is currently in a relationship gap. This guy Wayne is so handsome and strong, so she shouldn't refuse." Harvey thought to himself.

Wayne, on the other hand, looked at Harvey's fat figure and shook his head again in his heart.

If the historical trajectory remains unchanged, Harvey will have a very miserable year.

This year, Miramax produced a total of seven movies. Among them, except for "Uncle Wolf" starring Hugh Jackman and Meg Ryan, which only suffered a small loss, the remaining "Love Is Different", "Love" "Secret Order", "The Bad Guy", "Escape from Prison", "Oolong Perfect Match", and "True Love Express" all lost blood.

"Broken Love" had a production cost of 2200 million and a box office of 1990 million. The production cost of "Love Secret" was 1600 million, and the box office was 454 million. The production cost of "White Rotten Guest" was 2200 million, and the box office was 3300 million. The production cost of "Escape from Prison" was 600 million, and the box office was 257 million. The production cost of "Oolong Perfect Match" was 400 million, and the box office was 3800. "True Express" has a production cost of 2400 million and a box office of [-] million.

Including publicity and distribution expenses, the six films lost a total of hundreds of millions.

Miramax would have gone bankrupt if it hadn't made some money from Discovery's "Scream 2" and "Shrine," starring Nicole Kidman, which grossed $2.09 million at the global box office. .

Harvey was almost kicked out of Miramax by Disney, which was really miserable. "Harvey still needs to stay at Miramax so that he can continue to quarrel with Disney and attract Disney's attention."

"Then after the filming of "The Notebook" is completed, the copyright will be sold to him."

"It just so happens that "The Notebook" has a chance to win prizes."

Wayne thought to himself.

Generally speaking, there are only two types of people competing for awards in Hollywood.

One is that it's too easy to make money like Li Zizi. The bottom line for a movie is 2000 million. There is no shortage of money at all, but only honor.

The other is that they don’t have the resources to make commercial films, and they don’t have the recognition of big bosses. They can only increase their reputation through art films and winning awards, and at the same time let those high-ranking bosses see their acting skills.

For example, Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts in the original historical trajectory fall into this category.

He and Jessica were the kind of people who had little shortage of money and resources, and didn't care whether they won awards or not, but if it was by the way, he didn't have any objection to any nomination.

It is worth mentioning that Warner did not let him go.

According to news from Warner, the original "Admission" has been confirmed to be nominated for the Golden Globe Award for "Best Actor in a Comedy" and "Best Screenplay".

At the same time, he will also receive nominations for 'Best Actor' and 'Best Original Screenplay' at the Oscars, which will be awarded on March 3 this year.

It's quite ironic when you think about it.

"Hello Mr. Wayne, my name is Emmanuelle Chriqui, nice to meet you."

Not giving him much time to express his feelings, he was soon surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows.

But unlike the last party, this time in addition to the beauties present, many male stars also came over to greet him one by one, which made him confused.

It wasn't until his old friend Liv Tyler mentioned the names Liam Neeson and Matt Damon that he finally realized what he was doing.

The four previous films produced by Hemera Pictures, "Admission", "Happy Death Day" and "The Bourne Supremacy" all starred him.

The only film in which he did not star as the male protagonist, it was "Girl Genius" in which a woman was the first perspective and there was no male protagonist at all.

This made people in the industry think that he would not choose anyone else to be the leading actor in a movie produced by Hemera Pictures.

It wasn't until "The Dark Side" cast Matt Damon as the leading actor, and "Taken" also cast Liam Neeson as the leading actor in advance, that everyone discovered that Wayne would also use other male stars to play the leading role in the film. of.

Then these male stars naturally became enthusiastic about him.
