American Fortune Life
Chapter 68: Nobody's a Fool
(I've been busy lately, I can only have one chapter, I understand a lot, people ask for some recommendations!!! The plot unfolded, so take your time.
From the earliest British Patients to Oscars, to the late century Shaun Love History Rick's "Saving Private Ryan," to the stunning Four in Chicago, and Social Networks, films like "The King's Speech" and "The Artist" were killed on Oscars by Weinstein.
Harvey Weinstein's involvement in the production and distribution of films has received more than 300 Oscar nominations, more than 70 Little Gold People (including Miramax and Weinstein) and five best films (British Patient, Shaun Love History, Chicago, King's Speech, Artist). Of these, there are as many as 23 performance awards alone, including 6 for the best male and 10 for the best female.
Hollywood famous red sofa, list of people to scare the shit out of, Aunt Mae Merrill Stripe, defeat soldier Gwyneth Patello, the rumored Great Demon King Kate Blanchett, shout "Thank you Harvey for beating all my opponents" at the Oscar Awards big cousin Jennifer Lawrence, Spanish green tea bitch Penny Loop, dead hugging Golden Thigh Nicole Kidman, about what fat some stars are even more endless.
The most famous thing about the Hollywood actress to please him was that Mrs. M had tattooed Harvey's name on her hips and even did something shocking in front of a crowd of guests at the Four Seasons Restaurant, including celebrities such as Carrie Simon, Mike Nichols, Nora Avron and other film professionals. “She unwrapped her pants to reveal her hips so everyone could see clearly that they were tattooed with" JDlovesHW ”.
This is the winner of his life, the big man in Hollywood who shouted the rain and chatted with him, and took out the "Dream Theft Space" in the hot sale for him to sign, complimented him on his talent, no conspiracy, and didn't believe in killing Andy.
Andy also understands that Harvey sees the right to adapt his novels and that these IPs are a promising series for professionals, which is why Andy's spokesperson, Carl, will be popular in Hollywood.
As a penetrator, most of the movies in future generations are the superhero series in the hands of the six major players and some of the IP series that teenagers like. As for some original independent films, they can only drink soup. Why did even Harvey go to Heaven 15 years later to neglect funds to make independent movies?
So Andy was never in a hurry to adapt the novel, grabbed it firmly in his hand, whilst Carl jumped and accepted some minor bribes from the movie company, and as long as the thread was pinched in his own hand, he couldn't get out of his control.
Sure enough, after lunch, when the stewardess packed the tableware, Andy and Harvey drank wine across the aisle, and Harvey began to change the subject.
“I've told a lot of new directors who have asked me to teach them how to find the best selling book in the world, even if you really want to shoot it, I suggest you stay out of it. Because you don't have the perfect blend between business and art, and senior filmmakers like us, the desire for a good story that no one else understands, undoubtedly, Andy, your" Dreamscape Space "and" Hunger Games "are the best stories, and I'm almost ready to read them. It's so cool. Have you ever thought about putting them on the big screen? ”
Andy looked at Harvey's expression and praised him a little exaggerated. He couldn't help laughing, pulling so much crap, and finally he talked. Andy's expression was relaxed and he smiled and said, “Sure, why not? Several movie companies have offered to buy, but none of them can accept my terms. ”
“Really, I don't know what all the conditions are?” Harvey asked curiously, perhaps in his view, it was just a matter of price.
“After I wrote the novel, I thought about what it would be like to make a movie, like stealing a dream space, layering the architecture of a dream, going deep, destroying. From the director to the actor must be big coffee, the massive use of special effects will bring the cost of shooting to an astonishing level. If these basic conditions can't be guaranteed by the movie company, I won't sell the right to adapt, after all, every novel is like my child. Of course, the most important thing is that I want the box office share. ”
After Andy said it, he saw the expression on Harvey's face become ugly, his eyes squinted, his mouth rose, and his contempt overflowed with words, and Andy was smiling in his heart. Understanding that these old foxes could not have agreed to Andy's offer, but he didn't care at all, what he wanted was not himself, just sit on the fishing platform.
“NO, NO ~ ~ ~ Andy, your terms will not be agreed to by the company. This is not a rule, you have to understand that each industry has its own industry rules. Everyone consciously maintains and abides by them together. Your requirements are a little excessive.” Harvey shook his head, seemingly losing interest in conversation, moving his lower body, lying comfortably back in his seat, and said softly, with a hint of irony.
Andy shrugged his shoulders and said, “It doesn't matter. After all, I'm not a movie maker, I'm just guaranteeing my interests. Doing business is, of course, what you want. ”
“Oh, you're right. Nice to meet you. Nice talking to you. Here's my card.” Harvey's eyes glistened, laughing and handing Andy a business card out of his suit pocket, then opened the blanket and covered him.
After taking the card, Andy glanced at it, only one name and one phone number on it, he couldn't help but exclaim, he was really tough, he didn't have so many titles to scare people, only names and phones.
Andy sees that Harvey has covered his blanket, closed his eyes, and doesn't seem to care about his attitude at all, making Andy uncomfortable, losing his initial enthusiasm, or just arrogance.
Andy smiled, put his card in his pocket, adjusted his lower posture, closed his eyes, and the first thing he heard was Harvey's name or the shameless shouting at Harvey by a small steel gun in his past life, saying he was a liar.
But the more you know, the more Andy understands what's best for him. The anger of small steel guns is more angry and helpless by the shame after the pit. The big director who shouted for rain in the heavens and dynasty was slipped away by a foreigner, he is not angry. Not to mention small steel guns, there are more people in Harvey Pit, and a lot of indiscriminate methods have been used. Hiring a sailor to smear his opponent is even better. Big director Spielberg was not killed as usual. In the end, Harvey was still known as Oscar. All he could say was that he was playing by the rules, and he couldn't resist being pitted.
Why did Harvey's attitude change when Andy said his terms, because he also understood that it was impossible to buy a movie copyright to a novel with millions of dollars in knives. The conditions for proposing a split room were, in Harvey's view, Andy's teenage arrogance, and made him realize that Andy was also a person of the highest interest, that there was not enough interest to impress Andy, and that it was useless to say more, so what else? He's just a spoiled little kid, not worth wasting much time on.
Andy certainly doesn't know that Harvey despises him, and even if he does, it doesn't matter. The original author's split room is rare, but it's not that he didn't, like 007, like Warcraft, like the last few Harry Potters. It still depends on Andy's ability to keep the IP up in his hands. And after Iron Man showed up, all of Hollywood's big money making movies were big IP series movies, so he wasn't in a hurry.
As for Harvey's arrogance, Andy didn't feel so angry. People like them, when they beg you, can really kneel and lick, once it's useless, it's more than arrogant, and they have ugly mouths.
Hollywood is a famous venue. People like this are everywhere. It's not surprising that people and things are even more disgusting. Everyone meets each other as long as there is no conflict of interest and no vengeance.
When he woke up, Andy took off the blindfold on his face, looked at the watch, arrived in New York an hour later, lifted the blanket, stood up and walked to the bathroom, and he needed to wash his face and wake himself up.
Andy closed the bathroom door and saw Joseph standing behind it like a tower, shaking his head a little helplessly.
When Andy came back after washing his face, he heard someone talking in Cantonese. Of course, he couldn't understand what he was saying. He looked at it curiously. Shit, he really knew it. He was still a star in Xiangjiang, Wudai star Yuankui.
Without being as excited as Silly 13, he is now not so curious about the stars of the heavens and the dynasty that need to be looked up to in previous life. Paris has made himself play bad. Ivanka has become his own girlfriend. Once he sees the stars, he is excited, then he becomes 2B.
Without stopping, Andy returned to his seat and asked the stewardess to get him a glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.
Instinct took a look at Harvey and found that he was looking seriously at the "Dream Theft Space" in his hand. The corner of his mouth had to slip. This is the best original script that won the Golden Globe Award. The story of the Oscar nomination. What is Harvey's most admirable? It was the eye, he discovered the movie he bought once and successfully, all in support of his eyes.
Retract your gaze, and Andy can taste the fresh orange juice and feel the sweetness of the taste buds feeding him back.
“Andy, when's the second book of The Hunger Games coming out? Can you play with me for a second? Well, I'm in a bit of a hurry.” Harvey closed the book, closing his eyes and smelling the wonderful scene, opened his eyes and asked Andy.
Andy shrugged helplessly and smiled bitterly: “The second volume will only be published next year. Let's keep it a little mysterious. Huh.”
Harvey nodded with an understanding that he was not offended by the rejection of his excessive demands. He didn't care much about Andy, but Andy's novels are amazing, and Hollywood has a lot of movies about dreams, but the story of "Dream Theft Space" is really novel, whether it's the dreamer, the dreamer, the outpost and the camouflage's novel name and function, as well as getting into someone else's dream, stealing secrets from someone else's subconscious, and reshaping the plot of someone else's dream. It's all so fascinating.
Anyone who can write such a story deserves his attention, even if deep down Andy still feels young and arrogant.
