The drawing results are good, and the audience has a good reputation. As a publisher, the management of Miramax is very happy.

According to the market forecasts given by the market department after research, the box office on the first day was 31.22 million US dollars, and the North American box office of "Kill Bill" definitely exceeded 100 million dollars, based on the minimum screening time of one month.

Looking at the global market, it will not be less than 200 million.

Moreover, in addition to the benefits of the box office itself and the longer-term benefits of offline, more importantly, the reputation and influence of the industry have been further improved. The film label Miramax will also firmly rank among the top second-tier. Within the channel business.

All kinds of good news add up, can you still be dissatisfied?

So this time Harvey Weinstein was not stingy. In addition to the senior management of Miramax and the crew members of "Kill Bill", many of those invited to the celebration reception have a good relationship with Miramax. Partners and the bosses of some overseas agents.

Harvey Weinstein took Bob Weinstein (the two are brothers and they founded the film company together, but Harvey’s style of acting is obviously stronger) hug Quentin Tarantino and tell him Clink the glasses and said: "Quentin, your performance this time is as good as ever. On behalf of Miramax, I toast you."

Quentin Tarantino was a little flattered, and quickly picked up the wine glass and bent over and responded: "Don't dare, I should be the one to toast. Thank you Mr. Harvey for taking care of me, if not for your support. , I will not have such a result now."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Harvey for your support." Quentin's agent on the side also quickly agreed.

Then, the surrounding crew members and the filming team also stood up and toasted to the Harvey Weinstein brothers.

"Hahaha, okay, then I will do this cup, everyone is free." Harvey Weinstein's smiling eyes disappeared, and for a while, there was quite a sense of indulgence that the Hollywood market would ask for.

After everyone toasted, they sat down again.

The bosses of some small film companies or several overseas agencies that rely on Miramax for their living also began to come to toast frequently and say good things from time to time.

In short, from the beginning of the reception, Harvey Weinstein and Quentin Tarantino were the central figures of the entire banquet, and they were all touted.

Those who please Harvey Weinstein naturally took a fancy to Miramax’s channels and contacts in the circle, hoping to be slightly promoted; and those who please Quentin Tarantino, try to see if they can Whether to cooperate with them to make movies together.

Successive successes, still a well-received director, this halo is added, who can't see it?

The box office appeal behind this is the piles of Franklin.

A group of people chatted with each other politely. When the atmosphere was good, suddenly a white man hurriedly walked to Harvey Weinstein's side with several newspapers and magazines in his hand, and said something in his ear.

Harvey Weinstein continued to smile without changing his face. When it was about time, he followed the white man out of the banquet hall and went to the hotel lounge outside.

Sitting on a chair, taking over the newspaper, opened the first entertainment page of the Los Angeles Times, and the headline on the front page was very eye-catching-"Saw Fright" set off a storm of horror and struck forcefully.

Turning to the "New York Daily", the entertainment headline is still "Chain Saw". In the special film critic column, the evaluation is not very high, but it is quite pertinent. If this movie is like watching thrillers, Recommend to see it, and said that the settings inside are full of imagination.

The next one will not be any more movies, but an interesting story.

Looking at the extremely clear published photos above, Harvey Weinstein suddenly became angry and quickly asked people to find Quentin.

Quentin was drinking happily. Hearing this, he was a little puzzled and just wanted to say something.

But he didn't think that Harvey Weinstein threw the newspaper in his hand to the ground, and said angrily: "What are you doing? It's this juncture, and you still do such stupid things?"

In the newspaper, the news headline and the content of the report were at noon when Quentin Tarantino secretly bought a ticket to watch "Chain Saw".

Quentin was a little speechless, and explained with a gloomy look: "I'm just a little curious about what "Saw Cry" was filmed. The box office is so good, so I went to the cinema to see it. Who knew it would be such a coincidence, and I can still encounter it. Paparazzi reporter."

Harvey Weinstein also has a headache, "Quentin, remember, you are now the focus of everyone’s attention. Your movie has just been released, and some of it is topical hype, and it’s not a person who doesn’t have much news value on weekdays. So what you do must be considered in advance what kind of impact it will bring. You are not wrong when you go to see a movie, but the problem is that the other party is a competitor, and the two of you are still in the ring. If you do this, those audiences What do you think? Admit that you are worse than the other person?"

"It's my fault, I owe it." Quentin Tarantino bowed his head to be taught.He was supported by Harvey to this day, and the two are not only a simple cooperative relationship, so he dare not talk back in front of Harvey.

Harvey waved helplessly, and the latter exited silently.

Originally, "Kill Bill" had a good first day at the box office, and it was a good start. "Chain Saw" sold better than it. Although it was a little bit responsive, at least I was not bad.

As for why it was angry, it was because of the operation of the media channel that Paramount Pictures simply slammed Miramax.

The two are not at the same level at all. As far as the 4 or 5 newspapers and magazines with higher sales volume are concerned, Miramax did not pay the "penning fee", but the headlines of the front page were still caught by "Chain Saw". Take it all.

On the box office, is the gap between the two really big?It's not big, nor is it the kind of rolling gap.In terms of fame, director Quentin is no match for an unknown new director.

Just put it on the media resources, but the result is completely reversed.

"Kill Bill", let alone the front page, is not necessarily mixed on the secondary pages.

The same is true. The Big Six in Hollywood fully demonstrated their dominance in the industry when facing opponents of different levels.
