Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

Chapter 989: Just A Joke

At the sixty and twentieth Oscars at the beginning of the year, the Silent Lambs not only suppressed Jessica Tandy and won the best actress, but Anthony Hopkins also suppressed Daniel Day-Lewis and other candidates. Man won the best actor, the Golden Man, and my left foot, which Daniel Day-Lewis was nominated for, was Harvey Weinstein as the promoter, and the film released by Miramax.

There are a lot of new and old hatreds properly.

This is not just a movie king's problem, it involves millions or even tens of millions of dollars in interests.

For example, Miramax under the control of Harvey Weinstein, a company that specializes in producing and distributing low-cost geographic movies may have a normal annual profit of less than one million dollars.

Know that Harvey Weinstein and Miramax have not risen for many years.

In the 1970s, Weinstein and his brother Bob co-founded Miramax Films as an independent film distribution company in Hollywood.

In the era of major Hollywood manufacturers, independent films were very niche, and big producers did not value independent films, so the situation for independent films was quite difficult.

It's just the self-esteem of a group of so-called artists who are consciously pressing high.

Therefore, Harvey Weinstein and his Miramax film company have been developing very ordinary in the previous ten years.

But the movie market is changing.

Over the years, more and more independent films have made great achievements in film awards, and Harvey Weinstein has a good vision of watching films, so he successfully caught up with this wave of changes in the film market.

Miramax really became well-known in the past two or three years, because it has excavated a large number of excellent productions of art theaters and attracted widespread attention.

To be precise, it was actually last year. Among them, Stephen Soderberg’s Palme d’Or award-winning work "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" is a famous work by Miramax and Harvey Weinstein.

Then it was my left foot that hit Oscar.

It's just that this movie was cut off by Qiao Feng and the Silent Lamb.

But this still does not conceal the excellence of my left foot.

Then this year Miramax released the Swiss film Journey of Hope, another masterpiece that hit the Oscars for best foreign language film.

After discovering such excellent works for two consecutive years, I have to say that Harvey Weinstein's vision is really too good.

This is why Weinstein would later have the reputation of "modern movie savior".

Harvey Weinstein is definitely the forerunner of independent film companies. It can even be said that the reason why he prefers independent films ten or twenty years after the Oscars is that Harvey Weinstein pioneered independent films from a long time ago. The market is definitely the most important reason.

Because the Olympiad is to refer to the commercial nature of the film, it was like this before independent film = rise and flourish.

But Weinstein subtly changed the traditional aesthetic taste of the Academy of Oscars.

But independent films are independent films.

The Oscar judges value it again, but it still cannot change the nature of its small cost.

An independent film just reads the literal meaning to know what it is. Independence means less investment, and less investment means that it is difficult to become a commercially qualified movie.

Especially in a society like Hollywood, don't talk about commercial films without investment.

Because of the low investment, independent films can only be made in niche literary and artistic films, and because of literary films, it is difficult for independent films to have too eye-catching commercial results even if they make achievements in awards.

Therefore, the money earned by Harvey Weinstein, who is mainly engaged in independent film distribution, is really not as dazzling as his identity in the film industry.

Michael Ovitz of the caa agency that is somewhat similar to Harvey Weinstein is called the head of Hollywood movie stars by many media, saying that he is the king behind Hollywood.

Those shining stars in Hollywood are just chess pieces, just like the props in the movie, everything is at the mercy of the master behind the scenes, and this master behind the scenes is Michael Ovitz.

But in fact, even when Michael Ovitz was at its best, CAA’s annual revenue was only about 200 million US dollars.

And caa is a partnership system, which means that the two hundred million dollars is not a pure profit. Even if it is a pure profit, one point is only tens of millions of dollars in the hands of Michael Ovitz, at most.

This money is equivalent to or not as good as the annual income of the top celebrities of caa.

Saying that Michael Ovitz is a chess player, these superstars can only be chess pieces. In this case, it is okay to deceive the ignorant outsiders, the insiders, especially the upper-class people who believe in fools.

Speaking of going back to Harvey Weinstein, he is not even as good as Michael Ovitz.

Anyhow, Michael Ovitz has been named "No. 1 in Hollywood Entrepreneur Power" by the media.

But this kind of Michael Ovitz, in order to win a hesitant client, he dances a different tap dance at the conference table; he will use the plane to take the client to dinner.

It is really clear who is the server and who is being served.

Chess player, chess piece... just a joke.

In addition, it is such a person who has been mythical by the media. At the most glorious time in Hollywood, he abandoned the brokerage company he founded and went to Disney as the president.

In the end, he was driven out of Disney by Eisner who invited him to Disney.

From this we can see another point, that is, the seven presidents of Hollywood are far more attractive and worth fighting for than Caa, which controls a large number of celebrities.

This is true even for Michael Ovitz, let alone Harvey Weinstein.

In front of the Seven Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein is really a scumbag.

Not to mention this time, it is 10 or 20 years later that Harvey Weinstein was in Hollywood. In the age of power at the Oscars, he could make tens of millions of dollars a year.

This is the dilemma of independent films.

No matter how many awards you make, the final profit you can make is still worlds apart from the big commercial blockbusters.

The female stars like Harvey Weinstein harassed and violated, many of them are Hollywood stars.

But when the stars are harassed and violated, they are still young actors. Sometimes they beg Harvey Weinstein.

When these actresses become second-tier or even first-tier, and even entered 20 million clubs, look again, he dare not provoke Harvey Weinstein a hundred guts.

Because at that point, they are no worse than Harvey Weinstein, and even earn more than him.

What's more, even if he wants to harass him, he won't have a chance, because small-cost independent movies can't afford to hire other big-name movie stars.

And even if you pay a big price, people’s salary alone can account for a large part of the entire film production cost, but anyone with a normal mind will not do anything to them.

Because not only can it not be done, it is easy to not eat the lamb, but it will cause a commotion.
