"A Best Actor, A Best Director."

In the elevator, Harvey Weinstein first stretched out two fingers, then stretched out the third finger, "There is the best video!"

His fat face pulled out an unconcealed smug smile, "The Artist is the biggest winner! I... still the winner!"

No one denies this, not even Matthew. The just-concluded Oscars are here, and "The Artist" and Harvey Weinstein behind it are indeed the biggest winners.

Elizabeth Olsen's hand has been taken back from Matthew's arm and has been in the entertainment industry for many years. She has heard too many myths about Harvey Weinstein and has been advised too many times not to offend this famous Jewish descendant.

Matthew also noticed Elizabeth Olson's actions, and it was not surprising that Anne Hathaway had done similar things. Including himself, which Hollywood stars are unrealistic?

He didn't take Elizabeth Olson too much, but some thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind.

Compared to some people, like Anne Hathaway and Elizabeth Olsen are really too ordinary.

But he was going to perform a scene in front of Harvey Weinstein, not to capture the thoughts that flashed through his mind.

Matthew yawned again, and a little tiredness slowly appeared on his face. He said impatiently, "Oscar..."

Before he could finish his words, the ringtone of the cell phone suddenly rang.

Everyone looked at Elizabeth Olson. Elizabeth Olson quickly opened his handbag, took out his cell phone and looked at it, then put it in his ear to connect, and said in surprise, "What? What did you say? I understand! I'll hurry over now! I'll arrive soon."

After saying that, she hung up the phone and stuffed her cell phone into her clutch, and lowered her voice, "Sorry, Matthew."

Elizabeth Olson's voice was not loud, but it made Harvey Weinstein on the opposite side hear clearly, "My sister is in the hotel, and something urgent happened to them. I'm going to rush over now."

Matthew waved his hand, "Go."

Elizabeth Olson turned around and left in a hurry. After walking out of the elevator, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He quickly took out his cell phone and took another look. Fortunately, someone called him, otherwise he might have been unlucky in the future.

Will Matthew have any objections to him? Elizabeth Olson is not worried about this. Matthew is a recognized friend of women and has always been well-known for women. Unlike Harvey Weinstein, he always uses shameless means to persecute women.

In the elevator, Harvey Weinstein said sarcastically, "A very smart girl, right?"

Matthew sniffed and answered the question irrelevantly, "Harvey, I don't know how three little golden men, Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, can make more than 10 million in black and white silent films like "Artist"?"

Harvey Weinstein realized something instantly, "The news in the media some time ago was you making trouble?"

Since "Artist" started preview screening, there has been a huge voice in public opinion, saying that "Artist" is a black and white silent film that cheated money, which directly affected the marketing and promotion of "Artist", resulting in poor preview screening effect. No preview theater even had a box office of more than $5,000 per week.

Such a black and white silent film was originally poorly accepted by the audience, but it was not difficult for him. After all, how many Oscar films he used to operate in the past were friendly to the audience? A large number of people paid the bill.

Unexpectedly, "The Artist" was brought up in advance, making it difficult to use art and Oscar influence to lure audiences into the audience. Even after the Oscar nominations were announced and the film expanded, the box office revenue was still pitifully small, and so far it has only won less than $5 million in North America.

This is still an Oscar effect, otherwise this black and white silent film would be even worse.

Among all the eight films nominated for Best Picture, "Artist" has the worst box office in North America.

He has been looking for the person behind the scenes to make trouble. It turns out that the person he is the one he disgusted the most and is also the one he wants to deal with the most.

Matthew neither admitted nor denied it, but continued the words just now, "Oh..." He was about to speak, but he yawned just in time, "I heard that you invested nearly ten million dollars in the Oscar PR of "The Artist"? What a big deal, three heavyweight Oscar little gold men, it's really enviable!"

This seems to be an admirable word, but I feel that there is something wrong no matter how I hear it.

Especially Bob Weinstein, as the person who knows the finance and operational status of Weinstein Pictures best, no one knows better than him. "The Artist" won a big victory at the Oscar, and looks like the biggest winner, and seems very crazy, but the inside is completely different from the surface.

Because of Harvey Weinstein's will, Weinstein Pictures spent more than $35 million on copyright purchases, promotional distribution and Oscar public relations.

This is a huge amount of money. If "Artist" cannot explode after the Oscar, it will inevitably cause huge losses.

Will "Artist" explode? Harvey Weinstein is optimistic, believing that his Oscar strategy will be as successful as ever, but Bob Weinstein is not optimistic at all. The market rhythm of this film has been led to a deviant position, and it is impossible to pull it back.

The most important thing is that this is a black and white silent film!

What era is it? How many viewers can enjoy black and white silent films besides please those nostalgic old men?

From the very beginning, he opposed Harvey Weinstein's operation of this film, and he was very strongly opposed, but at Weinstein Pictures, his voice was much worse than Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein may still live in the feeling of winning everything by winning the Oscar, but Bob Weinstein knows that "The Artist" is causing losses.

How much box office can such a black and white silent film be? They have expanded their release and the box office is less than 5 million US dollars. Even with the Oscar effect bonus, the most optimistic estimate is 10 million US dollars.

What about overseas? Except for a few European countries, there is a market for this kind of film?

Besides, the copyright in Europe is not in their hands!

Weinstein Pictures can only operate markets outside Europe, and it would be nice to have a box office revenue of two or three million dollars in the rest of the market.

This money has to be distributed to theaters and overseas distributors. How many of them are left in the hands of Weinstein Pictures?

The box office is so bad, can you expect the copyright of peripheral discs or TV networks to be sold at a high price? It would be great if the peripheral copyright revenue could reach one-tenth of the box office.

In this era, how many people are idle and watching black and white silent movies?

As for other peripherals other than copyright, it is basically equivalent to zero. Which manufacturer is idle and uses a niche black and white silent film that can’t be niche?

After trying so many more times, Weinstein Pictures must collapse!

Harvey Weinstein's eyes were so hard that he seemed to be even worse when he saw Matthew's spirit. He automatically ignored the words Matthew said, and his fat face was slightly sarcastic.

After all, he is not an actor, and even if he suppresses the surprise in his heart, he still reveals it.

"It doesn't make sense if I don't fight with you now." The more Harvey Weinstein looked at Matthew, the more he looked like an addict, and suddenly felt that it was useless to fight.

He doesn't need to do too much, just wait and take time to drag Matthew Horner down!

It seems that Amber Hilder did a good job.

Matthew had long figured out the role of a genius, so he was naturally very skillful. He pulled his nose unnaturally and said, "Harvey, wait for the Artist to recover the cost, remember to notify me."

After saying that, he didn't stay for a long time, and bypassed Harvey Weinstein and went straight into the elevator.

Meryl Streep looked back at the elevator door that closed, and Matthew Horner yawned again, as if he was very tired.

Isn't this person famously energetic? Why does it look like...

She has been in Hollywood for many years and has enough knowledge, which is simply a precursor to the onset of drug addiction.

Matthew Horner is taking drugs?

Meryl Streep thought of this instantly, first a little surprised, then she felt that it was reasonable, is it strange to try drugs for such a person who likes to pursue fresh and exciting?

The elevator door was closed behind him, Meryl Streep made sure to go down the elevator, approached Harvey Weinstein's ear, and said in a low voice, "Matthew Horner seems to be addicted to drugs."

Since she could sell it casually, she didn't mind.

Harvey Weinstein's smug smile flashed, "Well, I look like it."

Judging from all aspects, Matthew Horner has fallen into his trap and has not noticed it yet. Now let him gain some advantage in the future...

He has to wait for a while, and when the drug addiction becomes even greater, he can instigate new plans.

The group left the elevator, Meryl Streep was going to the bathroom, and Bob Weinstein quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Harvey, let's talk with Matthew..."

Harvey Weinstein immediately raised his hand to stop him and continued, "You don't need to say much about this, I know it!"

Hearing this, Bob Weinstein swallowed the words he hadn't said, stopped, and watched Harvey Weinstein gradually walk away, knowing that it would be impossible to change the situation of Weinstein Pictures alone by persuasion.

Matthew did not go upstairs anymore, but went directly to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, called the driver, and asked him to drive to the main entrance of the hotel.

Standing behind the glass curtain wall of the hotel, thinking of Elizabeth Olson who had just left, Matthew suddenly became interested. Anyone would be disgusted with such a thing.

From entering Hollywood to now, he has seen too many such women, all of whom seem very shrewd.

In contrast, there seem to be too few stupid women.
