Standing next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, looking out from a condescending manner, the long queue at the entrance of the theater is really magnificent. The rush of people on the streets and lanes crowded the whole town, and the dense crowds in the line of sight look like bustling The ants, so small, so dense, in a trance, have the illusion that they are God.

No wonder those elites on Wall Street always like the floor where their office is located, higher and higher.

Sundance, who had been silent for five days, finally became noisy because of the emergence of "Crazy Love", and it was still heating up, which also made the major media start to become active.

"The scenery here is really good, isn't it?" Harvey-Weinstein (harvey-weinstein) with his hands behind his back, his round beer belly, honest smile, and friendly demeanor exuded a kind of closeness all over his body. Even if it was the first time we met, there was no sense of jerky at all. After just a few greetings, it seemed to become familiar.

"However, compared to the view on the top floor of the Sunset Tower Hotel, this place is still a lot inferior." Harvey turned around, pacing calmly, and walked back to the sofa set in the lobby from the floor-to-ceiling windows, but did not rush to sit down Coming down, just casually leaning on the back of the sofa, with a gentle smile on his face, "If I have the opportunity, I can invite you to go to the top floor to have a look. Although it is not as good as the Empire State Building, it is also a superb view. "

Harvey Weinstein, together with Bob Weinstein (bob-weinstein), the famous Weinstein brothers, stomped in Hollywood, the whole film industry will be shaking characters, and even some people are behind the scenes. Li called them the "Kings of Hollywood", and the two brothers' powerful influence is evident.

It is no exaggeration to say that the rise of the awards season was driven by the two brothers, and in the past ten years, they are definitely the most important figures in the awards season each year. They have won hundreds of nominations and harvested. With dozens of little golden men, they have been fruitful, and every move is enough to set off a **** storm.

During the recent period, the "social network" has fallen into dire straits, first with the prospects for the awards season of many people and faces.

More importantly, in the first half of the awards season, David Fincher has been actively cooperating with the promotion of the movie; recently, during this period of time, negative news has been frequent, and various dirty and ugly methods have been used. This really makes David Disgusted, and gradually began to absent from college public relations activities.

Behind all this, the shadow of the Weinstein brothers can be found-the North American distribution rights of "The King's Speech" are in the hands of these brothers.

The Oscar nominations will be announced soon, and the first stage of the awards season will enter the final sprint, but the brothers are not nervous at all. Not only did they not sit in the base camp, they also came to Park City to participate in the annual Sundance Film Festival.

In fact, in recent years, with the slow rise of independent films, the attention of big-name producers and distribution companies has gradually shifted. Last year’s "Blue Valentine's Day" and "Winter Bones" were the most direct ones. Proof. The Weinstein brothers will naturally not miss it. Every year, they come here unmoved to pan for gold.

The two Weinstein brothers work together in a division of labor. The younger brother Bob is more good at producing and he will be responsible for selecting the works; while the older brother Harvey controls the overall situation. He is responsible for media promotion, public relations methods, distribution copyrights, and so on. The same is true today, Harvey stayed in the hotel room, and Bob walked through theaters in Park City.

To be honest, when Drake-Doremus told Lan Li, the Weinstein brothers sent an invitation, hoping to talk about the issue of the distribution rights of "Crazy Love", Lan Li's head was also slightly clouded for a moment.

This is Weinstein, not a random producer or distributor.

This is different from encountering Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg during the audition. At that time, Ren Li’s attention was focused on his performance, hoping to get the job, instead of going leisurely. I admire the two big guys in the audience; but today, the Weinstein brothers have taken a fancy to "Love Crazy", which not only means that this work has been recognized by them, but also means that they also reported on the work's awards season prospects. enthusiastic attitude.

Before Weinstein, "Crazy Love" had actually received olive branches from four publishing companies, one of which was an independent label under Paramount Pictures, Paramount Advantage, and the other three were all independent publishing companies.

The three companies all expressed strong interest in the North American distribution rights of "Crazy Love", especially Paramount Advantage. As a label under the six major film companies, although Paramount has less advantages than Focus Films, Miramax, and Fox Searchlight, its rich heritage is still not to be underestimated. They not only hoped to win the North American distribution rights of "Crazy Love", but also inquired about the global distribution rights.

Only this detail can be seen, Paramount Advantage is very optimistic about this work.

The popularity of Sundance and the vigor on the Internet have attracted enough focus and firepower for "Crazy Love". Naturally, the North American distribution rights have also risen and become hot. It is no exaggeration to say that now "Love Is Crazy" is Sundance's most noteworthy work, and no one can match the right of distribution. At least so far.

No, Weinstein Pictures also expressed interest. Even if Focus Pictures and Fox Searchlight work together, Weinstein Pictures will never fall behind. This is indeed a huge surprise.

Drake's excitement, Jennifer and Felicity's excitement, this is all understandable.

In the end, Lan Li took the lead to calm down, because he knew that the Weinstein brothers' strategy had always been a wide-spreading type, and would rather kill by mistake than let it go.

Starting from Sundance and ending in Toronto, they will continue to buy the distribution rights of the works, and then slowly select them, and gradually eliminate them. After entering the awards season, the seed players remaining in their hands are very limited, most of the works Have been directly eliminated.

In other words, being fancyed by the Weinstein brothers is not as wonderful as expected.

Each distribution company has its own characteristics. The same work is in the hands of different companies, and the publicity strategy and focus of publicity are completely different. The final results of the awards season may also be very different. The Weinstein brothers are definitely a typical representative of the supremacy of interests and decisiveness. What they care about is not the artistic value, but whether it conforms to the value orientation of the Oscar judges.

To put it simply, "Buried alive" works with a slant sword and a unique style are in the hands of the Weinstein brothers. It is estimated that they will be shot directly if they will not support the arrival of the awards season.

However, for independent films such as "Crazy Love", the Weinstein brothers are indeed godfather-level figures above all, enough to make people feel so excited.

Today, Drake called the blue ceremony, and the two came to the hotel to visit the Weinstein brothers.

In Telluride, Drake promised Renly that because Renly's pay was too low, he expressed his willingness to let Renly join the film production in the form of a box office dividend.

Generally speaking, the distribution copyright of independent films can be simply divided into two possibilities. One is to buy out at a flat price, and whether the distribution company makes money afterwards, it has nothing to do with the crew; the other is the appropriate distribution of copyright fees, and then participate in it. Among the box office dividends, the box office level will determine whether the crew can recover costs and achieve profitability.

Regardless of the way in which the distribution copyright of "Crazy Love" is finally sold, Drake is willing to share part of the benefits to Lan Li in the form of a percentage. This is why he invited Lan Li to come and meet the Weinstein brothers today.

Another part of the reason is because he needs to be bold. Yes, this is what Drake said.

Looking at Harvey, who is confident, calm, and comfortable, Drake's nervousness and jerkyness are clearly visible-he is only 27 years old this year, and he is still an authentic youth.

But Lan Li noticed Harvey’s appearance on stage~lightnovelpub.net~ Whether it was a remark in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows or a friendly invitation to stand beside the sofa, Harvey remained standing, facing the person sitting on the sofa. Lanly and Drake, Harvey undoubtedly have a height advantage, the kind of majestic and majestic that the superior commends the subordinates, and has completed the control of the situation in the quiet.

Renly is no stranger to Harvey's approach, and George Hall is best at this invisible oppression.

More importantly, Harvey obviously has something in his words. What he proposed is not to go sightseeing on the top floor of the Sunset Tower Hotel, but to imply the final summit of the awards season-every year, "Vanity Fair" held Oscar nights. Held at the Sunset Tower Hotel, it will be a celebration party for the winners.

However, Harvey is expected to be disappointed. In Lanly’s view, Drake did not hear Harvey’s words at all, "Really? I have also heard that the view of the Empire State Building is very beautiful. But it has never been. If you have the opportunity to take a look, if you can go to the top floor of the Sunset Tower Hotel, it must be cool!"

Drake said with a smile on his face, even turning his head back, nodding to Lan Li, with a look of excitement: as if he was really looking forward to the trip to the Sunset Tower Hotel.

The corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, and then he nodded solemnly, "I think so too."

Harvey squinted his eyes slightly, and took a serious look at the two people in front of him. The line of sight finally fell on Lan Li, without concealing his curiosity, waiting for Lan Li to turn his head, the two people’s eyes collided. Together, and then he showed an awkward smile, "Sorry, please forgive me for being direct. You are younger than I thought, and you can’t see it on the big screen. Or, your performance confuses me. . As an audience, this is really an enjoyment.)
