Chapter 662 There are always villains who want to murder me
"Director Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" At this time, a fat white man came over, holding a red wine glass in his hand, and the flesh on his face trembled. He had the appearance of a butcher, but he had to pretend to be a gentleman.
It's stomach-churning.
The fat white man is none other than Miramax's Harvey Weinstein.
Although the Phantom blocked the development of Miramax Pictures, the development of Miramax, owned by Harvey Weinstein, could not be compared with that of another time and space. The Phantom’s many interruptions in independent films made Harvey
I was very angry, but there was nothing I could do.
Wu Jianye looked at Harvey Weinstein with a smile on his face, as if what happened the last time they met had never happened.
To be honest, this future Hollywood boss really doesn't have much weight in Wu Jianye's eyes. Looking at him is more like looking at a clown.
"This is Director Wu's wife, Ms. Zhu Hao, hello, Harvey Weinstein from Miramax Pictures!" As he spoke, Harvey Weinstein wanted to shake hands with Zhu Hao and used
The etiquette of kissing on the hand.
Snapped!
Wu Jianye knocked off Harvey's hand directly, looked at him calmly, and said, "If you have something to say, you will fart!"
Zhu Xian glanced at Wu Jianye and wondered why Wu Jianye was so disgusted with the fat man in front of her. In her impression, Wu Jianye had never shown such unreserved dislike to a person before!
A flash of light flashed in Harvey's eyes, but he covered it up well and said with a smile: "Actually, it's like this. I believe Director Wu also knows about the development of our Miramax in the past few years.
I know that Director Wu had some opinions on me because of the copyright of "Raise the Red Lantern" and previous matters..."
"If possible, I would like to sincerely apologize to Director Wu here. After all, there is no big grudge between you and me, so let's just forget it!"
Seeing Harvey lowering his posture without any bottom line, Wu Jianye knew that he must be asking for something, otherwise he wouldn't bow his head like this.
"Harvey, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here!"
Harvey still had a smile on his face: "Director Wu, you know that both myself and Miramax Pictures attach great importance to the novel "Jurassic Park". Now Director Wu can bring him
The film adaptation makes me very happy. To be honest, after watching "The Love of Ghosts", I personally admire Director Wu's directing ability. So if possible, I hope that Director Wu can make Mi
Lamax Films also becomes an investor in Jurassic Park!"
"Of course, I also know that there is no free lunch in this world. According to the news we have received, Director Wu has not confirmed the other leading actors in the movie "Jurassic Park". I still have some connections in Hollywood. As long as
If Director Wu wants that actor, I can help Director Wu hire him, and the salary will definitely be lower than the market price!"
Wu Jianye rolled his eyes: "Are you kidding? Do you think we are still filming "The Love of Ghosts"? You even helped me find actors, Harvey, you really think I'm a newcomer who doesn't understand the Hollywood industry.
Got it!"
Harvey Weinstein obviously played a trick on Wu Jianye. Now "Jurassic Park" can be said to be the most watched movie in Hollywood, although everyone knows who the protagonists of this movie should be.
There are no images of dinosaurs that have ever appeared.
But as an actor in this movie, many actors will still flock to it. Coupled with the influence of Phantom Entertainment, will they be short of actors?
Harvey's approach is nothing more than wanting to have both sides. First, he will win the investment share of "Jurassic Park" in a way that can provide actors for the movie. At the same time, he will negotiate with Wu Jianye about the actors, and then he will use "
Jurassic Park's influential actors sign...
This kind of thing is no different from the previous sale of the filming rights and distribution rights of "Spider-Man" by Hammergren's empty-handed white wolf.
It’s just that Wu Jianye didn’t expect Harvey Weinstein to play this trick with him!
Harvey Weinstein's face changed slightly. After being criticized like this several times by Wu Jianye, his face finally became a little unbearable and he said: "Director Wu, I know you are very proud of yourself in Hollywood now, but you can't stand alone.
You may always be lucky, but there will always be times when you are unlucky.”
Wu Jianye glanced sideways at Harvey Weinstein and said coldly: "You are threatening me!"
Harvey Weinstein laughed and said: "How could it be possible? Director Wu is now an upstart in Hollywood and his popularity is booming. How dare I threaten Director Wu!"
Wu Jianye snorted coldly and said, "You better not!"
After saying that, he turned around and left with Zhu Xian.
Harvey Weinstein looked at Wu Jianye's back, his face became ugly, he put the bag in his hand on the table, turned and left the hotel, followed by his brother Bob Weinstein!
When the two of them walked out of the banquet hall, Harvey said coldly: "Since you didn't eat the toast, don't blame me!"
Bob Weinstein looked at his brother with some worry. He knew what he wanted to do and said, "Isn't this a bit too radical? Moreover, Wu Jianye's background is not simple. The boss behind Fengge Media is
Identity is no joke!”
Harvey glanced at his brother and said: "You are good at everything, but you are too forward-thinking about things. No matter how powerful Fengge Media is, it is in Southeast Asia. This is Los Angeles. Besides, if something like this happens, he can only
If you obey obediently, how can you seek revenge from us?"
Bob pouted and still wanted to persuade Harvey Weinstein. After all, the other party's methods were too radical. It was okay to do this to other young actors or directors before. After all, the other party had no background and they could ravage them as they pleased. But Wu Jianye
My identity is not simple...
Harvey said: "You must also understand that the Phantom's oppression on us is getting more and more serious now. If we cannot find a breakthrough point, Miramax's development will become increasingly narrow!"
In fact, Harvey Weinstein would not take such a risky move unless it was absolutely necessary, but now it is no longer possible. If the current situation is allowed to develop, how long Miramax can persist, he himself
Not sure anymore!
Marx once said: Capitalists are afraid of no profit or too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum. Once there is an appropriate profit, capital will be bold. If there is 10% profit, capital will be used everywhere; with 20%
With 50% profit, capital will become active; with 50% profit, capital will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, capital will dare to trample all human laws; with more than 300% profit, capital will dare to commit any crime, and even go to jail
Risk hanging your head.
Harvey Weinstein has never regarded himself as a filmmaker. He has always operated Miramax Pictures from a capital perspective. Now Miramax is about to be cornered by Phantom, and on one side is the cliff of the abyss.
On one side of the cliff are attractive benefits.
At this time, Harvey holds a knife in his hand, and he will cut off all obstacles that block him from going in the direction of his interests, even if this obstacle may cause him to fall into an abyss!
"It's just that I think this is still a bit too risky!" Bob continued.
Harvey said: "Don't worry, I have already arranged the matter. No one will be injured by then. I just took a few photos. When the time comes, the photos will be returned to Wu Jianye. We will keep the negatives. As a billionaire
The millionaire doesn’t want his indecent photos to be published in the media!”
Bob thought for a moment and said: "The result of our investigation is that Wu Jianye has been followed by several bodyguards. It is not easy to take action!"
Harvey smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. There is no cat in this world that doesn't steal fish. If it doesn't work today, you can do it tomorrow. I believe Wu Jianye will always take the bait."
In fact, Harvey's plan was very simple. He originally planned to introduce an actress to Wu Jianye tonight, then charm Wu Jianye, and then put her in the room upstairs. There must be something in the medicine that makes people fascinated.
Element.
When the time comes, Harvey will film this episode, and then he will have evidence of controlling Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye didn't know that he had been targeted by Harvey at this time. He was still chatting and laughing with others at the banquet.
"Director Wu, I have read the script, but I personally like the role of Dr. Aaron Grant better!" Mel Gibson was discussing with Wu Jianye about the role of "Jurassic Park".
The huge sales of "The Last Day" made Mel Gibson drop the last consideration and hope to participate in Wu Jianye's new film "Jurassic Park".
But the role Wu Jianye gave him was that of Dr. Ian Malcolm, not that of Dr. Aaron Grant.
In Wu Jianye's opinion, the character of Aaron Grant should have a stronger bookishness, which is somewhat inconsistent with the image of Mel Gibson, but the character of Ian Malcolm is very suitable for him.
But now it seems Mel Gibson doesn’t want to play the second lead in this movie!
In fact, by the time of the second film, the character of Ian Malcolm had been promoted to the leading male lead, but now it seems that Mel Gibson does not want to play this role.
Wu Jianye thought for a while and said: "The role of Aaron Grant does not match your own temperament. I still hope you can consider the role of Ian Malcolm!"
Mel Gibson also has his own perseverance. He has made two movies with a box office of over 100 million in succession. At the same time, the second movie "The Ghost Story" set a global box office record. Such an experience makes it impossible for him to act for other movies in the movie.
Even if the movie is "Jurassic Park" directed by Wu Jianye!
In the end, Wu Jianye failed to convince him, so he had no choice but to say that he would look for opportunities to cooperate again in the future!
When Wu Jianye turned around, a girl suddenly bumped into him accidentally. Fortunately, Wu Jianye had always been in the habit of exercising, and he dodged it with quick eyes and hands.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Director Wu, I didn't mean it!" The girl was wearing a sexy evening dress, and when she bent over, people could see her rough waves.
At the same time, this girl has the unique charm of white girls, which is unforgettable at first glance.
However, Zhu Xian was beside Wu Jianye at this time, so naturally he could not have any thoughts. He smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just be careful in the future!"
At this time, the girl raised her head, showing her electric eyes, and apologized: "Thank you, Director Wu, my name is Monica. I have seen your movie before and I like it very much!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Thank you!"
After that, he didn’t say anything more and left with Zhu Xie!
Monica looked at Wu Jianye's back, with a trace of greed in her eyes. In her eyes, Wu Jianye was like walking banknotes, and a lot of them...
Neither Wu Jianye nor Zhu Xie took what happened just now seriously. Zhu Xie's behavior throughout the banquet was very decent, but he was also very different from these Hollywood stars.
These Hollywood actresses tried their best to show their charm at such a banquet, while Zhu Xian was even more low-key, like a shadow next to Wu Jianye. Wherever Wu Jianye went,
Wherever she goes, if someone chats with her, she can respond appropriately, but she will never do anything to show off.
In fact, this is also the difference between Eastern and Western cultures!
However, this did not make Zhu Yan lose her charm at the banquet. On the contrary, as Wu Jianye's female companion, she also attracted a lot of attention. In addition, she was cast in the movie "Jurassic Park"
The first protagonist obviously made many actresses pay more attention to her.
After the banquet, Wu Jianye and Zhu Jian were sitting in the car. Zhu Jian showed another side of himself to Wu Jianye, "It's finally over. Are all Hollywood parties so boring?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "It's not an interesting thing in the first place. From the outside, it seems that if a bunch of big guys and celebrities get together, there will definitely be a lot of common topics. In fact, they are all fake. Think about it, everyone
We are not very familiar with each other at all, so there are endless topics to talk about. It is more nonsense, just for show, and to show off one's own demeanor!"
Wu Jianye didn't have much favorable impressions of such gatherings, but sometimes, in this game, people couldn't be alone and could only play with everyone else in this game that everyone knew very well.
Zhu Xian said helplessly: "Go home quickly, I'm starving to death, I just want to eat a bowl of noodles now!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Now you know why I always like to eat by myself when I go home after attending a party!"
Zhu Xie nodded and said with deep sympathy: "I understand."
.......
Just as Wu Jianye's car left the hotel, Harvey Weinstein and Monica walked out of the darkness and watched Wu Jianye's car leave.
"I will tell you Wu Jianye's itinerary these days tonight. You don't have much time!" Harvey said.
Monica said with a charming smile: "Don't worry!"
Harvey looked at Monica's charming look and said with a smile: "I booked a room upstairs, let's not waste it!"
