I’m in Hollywood - Chapter 691

[Chapter six hundred and eighty fifth minor differences]

Eric wondered: “Why?”

Elizabeth said: “You didn’t say it all yourself. Mel Gibson’s acting skills were reluctant to get a Golden Globe nomination. After the Golden Globe nomination was released, the media There has always been controversy over this matter. ●⌒Fiction, Mel Gibson wants the best director, and does not want a best actor nomination to affect his reputation, but in order to increase the attention of “Braveheart” Harvey still insisted on awarding him the best actor.”

Eric suddenly understood that the reputation of an excellent film like “Braveheart” has been confirmed, so continue to hype the film’s reputation in the media on the box office. The influence will not be too great. At this time, properly provoking some controversial topics and increasing its media popularity can actually promote the box office.

Mel Gibson’s Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination is undoubtedly the so-called ‘controversial topic’ picked by Weinstein. Many fans who were not very interested in “Braveheart” often noticed that the media After the debate, in order to find out, maybe they will pay for tickets to enter the venue.

At the same time, Miramax has already decided that Mel Gibson will not win the PR award for best director, so this artificially provoked controversy will not have any impact on the established PR strategy.

In the original time and space, although the Weinstein brothers were called Oscar geniuses, in fact, it is more accurate to call them Oscar merchants, because the most fundamental purpose of the two brothers operating the Oscar awards is for profit, as long as they can obtain greater rewards. For the benefit, the two brothers can not only promote some public relations awards for some films that are not necessarily good enough, but also use some means to spoil the nominations that would have been expected to win awards.

Knowing that the Golden Globes were just an appetizer, Eric continued, “Did you still get Mel Gibson nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor?”

Elizabeth nodded, and said helplessly: “Gibson didn’t like Harvey from the beginning. During the filming of “Braveheart”, he often complained that Harvey was too critical to the filming, and Joe Ross and I had to often personally He came forward to mediate and heard that Harvey had given Braveheart the best actor award. He also called Harvey a greedy Jew. Harvey was also angry. Everyone was Australian, and I thought there would be a future. For more cooperation, we have been trying to build a good relationship with Gibson. The “Braveheart” signing was still made by Dad himself. But after this time, it is difficult for us to cooperate with him again. Miramax’s this year’s The performance far exceeded our expectations at the time of the acquisition, and between the Gibsons and the Weinstein brothers, we can only choose the latter.”

“If you don’t cooperate, don’t cooperate. The studio is overly chasing and condoning big-name actors, and in the end it’s the one who suffers. Myself.”

“You’re light. Everyone does it. If we don’t, we won’t get good projects. Fox is not a firefly, you are like a chef who runs a restaurant, even if you can’t hire a chef. I can also go into battle myself, and I can cook better than the chef, but we can’t do it.”

Eric smiled: “Your metaphor is really appropriate.”

“You have been very leisurely recently,

or else How many ‘dishes’ are you coming to Fox to help us with?”

“Forget it, I don’t even bother to go into my own kitchen now.”

“I haven’t heard of your next film since Jurassic Park. Are you planning to quit filming?”

“Of course not, didn’t I just shoot a Victoria’s Secret annual show, but I didn’t make it to the big screen and released the video tape directly. I heard that it sold well, you Have you seen it?”

Elizabeth nodded with a smile: “There may be 20 million box sales in North America. If it is a movie, it is likely to be on the top of this year’s video tape sales chart. The songs in it are really good, and there are those little beauties. , tsk tsk. Hey, how many times have you slept?”

Eric sighed contentedly with a reminiscent expression: “Of course, I don’t let one go, and change one every night. Occasionally, there are several groups of people. Alas, a horny person like me…”

Before Eric could finish speaking, Elizabeth picked up the nutty chocolate from the dessert tray on the table and threw it towards Eric.

Eric smiled and avoided, seeing the chocolate hit the railing and scattered on the edge of the terrace, looking distressed.

Said: “It’s really immoral to throw food around.”

Elizabeth raised her chin and said, “You bite me.” The

two were arguing when they suddenly heard a few light chirping noises. They turned their heads together and looked at a furry The little squirrel probed for a while by the terrace, and then jumped up cautiously, picked up a piece of nutty chocolate with both front paws, sniffed it, and immediately ate it, noticing that Eric and Elizabeth were looking at him, the little squirrel. Although the guy didn’t escape, he also accelerated the speed of eating, and his cheeks were quickly supported.

Although Beverly Hills is a residential area, the ecological protection is very good. There are all kinds of birds and animals. This open-air restaurant built on a gentle slope is surrounded by dense shrubs. It is also very small for these small things to forage. usually.

The waiter not far away noticed that Eric and Elizabeth’s eyes were attracted by the squirrels by the terrace. They were worried that these little things would make the two big men unhappy. Rick waved and stopped.

“What are you thinking?” Elizabeth asked, withdrawing her gaze from the little squirrel because of Eric’s gesture.

“It’s nothing, give the little guy a name, what do you think of Screat?”

Elizabeth turned her eyes between the little squirrel and Eric a few times, and said brightly, “This little guy is what I attracted.”

Eric smiled and picked up another chocolate and threw it over. Seeing that the startled little guy shrank abruptly, he quickly picked up the chocolate that was bigger than his own head and ran away. Turning back to Elizabeth: “Since you brought it here, come on, brainstorm and make up a random story for me to see.”

Elizabeth stared at the edge of the terrace where the squirrel had disappeared with great interest, and said intermittently: “Squirrel, chocolate… um, looking for food, winter, and humans…”

Eric smiled and looked at Elizabeth, who was racking her brains. Before she knew it, a story idea similar to “The Robbery of the Nut Shop” was almost formed, but it was definitely a thousand miles away from “Ice Age”.

It took Elizabeth ten minutes to come up with a story. She was a little proud and wanted to ask Eric what kind of idea he came up with, but an uninvited guest appeared in front of the two of them.

Just taking over the affairs of Sony America, Howard Stringer has been working under a heavy workload recently because of the mess in Colombia. He looks a little tired, but he still shows an elegant scholar.

Under the guidance of the waiter, he walked to the two of Eric, Howard Stringer shook hands with Eric and Elizabeth, and said with a smile: “Eric, what a presumptuous thing, but, can I sit down? ”

Of course, please sit down,” Eric nodded, since the other party had already approached the door, Eric would not be too unkind, and motioned the waiter to serve Howard Stringer a cup of coffee before Asked: “Howard, do you have anything to do with me?”

Eric didn’t mean to greet me, and Howard Stringer didn’t go around, saying: “That’s it, Eric, Columbia received Flower Pictures this morning. I intend to cancel the distribution contract with us about “Night at the Museum” and “Forrest Gump”, I think, this is completely unnecessary, isn’t it?”

Howard Stringer went directly to himself, UU reading www .sonicmtl.

com Eric did not push the matter to Drew and Amy unnecessarily, saying: “Columbia thinks the original release contract is unreasonable, everyone can get together and leave, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with this?”

Howard S. Tringer said in a gentle tone: “Eric, there are only some very slight differences, and there is absolutely no need to cancel the cooperation. After all, on “Mission Impossible”, Columbia and Flower Pictures are still very happy. .”

“Howard, everyone knows that this matter was initiated by Columbia first. Flower Pictures does not have the ability to take risks like Columbia. After you raised objections to the contract, Flower Pictures has already begun to prepare to retreat. Now Going back to Columbia, Flower Pictures will lose faith in new partners, and we can’t do that.”

Howard Stringer knew that Eric was talking nonsense, if Flower Pictures found a new collaborator, such as Fox Or MGM, the two companies have long since leaked the news to the press.

Howard Stringer took a sip of coffee and suddenly changed the subject, saying, “Eric, I just got the news that JIVE Records, a subsidiary of Sony Records, has just received an offer from Firefly, which should be true.
