1210 Show off one's strength
The 85th Academy Awards ceremony, for Harvey Weinstein, is not strictly a victory..
However, Jennifer Lawrence's ascension to the top turned out to be a historic gesture, and continued the strength of Natalie Portman and Renly Hall, becoming the focus of attention. This not only means that this year's awards Ji's success also means that Harvey has won the future. Next, there will be more cooperation between him and Jennifer..
In addition, Renly lost to Daniel Day-Lewis in the Best Actor competition. This can also be regarded as a small victory, and it can be regarded as an indirect revenge for last year's revenge; at the same time, he was promoted by one hand Jennifer has officially become a new force in Weinstein Films. In Harvey's view, this is the biggest blow to Renly..
Therefore, Harvey was in an extremely happy mood, even happier than winning the Oscar for Best Picture. The grievances and depression of the past year finally found an outlet and poured out heartily. Such a feeling is really wonderful, People can't help but be immersed in it.
“I remember, you and Jennifer used to be friends.”
Harvey said.
Although Harvey is trying to keep his emotions calm, the look of gloating and triumph is still surging in his eyes, barely concealing it, or rather refusing to conceal it..
Renly's mouth curved slightly, "Thank you. But I think Bradley will be disappointed.".”
What？
Harvey's head was full of question marks, and he didn't understand the origin and meaning of Renly's words at all..
He brought up Jennifer, but why did Renly bring up Bradley? Although Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence co-starred in "Silver Linings Playbook", they are not two people who have no connection at all; however, the rhythm of the entire conversation is still too weird and completely confusing. No idea.
Renly still had a faint smile in his eyes, nodded slightly, and expressed his polite apology, "I'm sorry, I mean, I really appreciate you being willing to vote for me..”
What？
A bunch of question marks popped up on Harvey's head again. He couldn't keep up with Renly's rhythm at all. It took him two beats to react slowly, and then his face suddenly became extremely ugly..
In the polite exchange just now, Harvey expressed some greetings in the manner of normal social etiquette; but Renly responded and thanked him seriously, not only ignoring Harvey's attack, but also ridiculing Harvey. To put it lightly, the initiative is still firmly in Renly's hands..
Harvey was about to retort, but Renly interrupted Harvey's rhythm first, "I'm serious..”
The gentleman's smile seemed to be a heartfelt thank you. His warm smile and graceful demeanor blocked all of Harvey's arguments in his throat, unable to come out at all..
“I never knew that Mr. Weinstein was so concerned about my current situation. In such a busy awards season, I must be busy day and night, and all attention must be focused on Jennifer, otherwise any mistakes will be made. It was an unbearable consequence, but even so, I still had the honor to win Mr. Weinstein’s care, which even took care of my personal relationship with Jennifer..”
“Thank you. I believe that many people in Hollywood will be envious and jealous. It is really flattering. I hope Bradley will not be jealous. Tonight, I had a chat with Bradley, and he obviously made the same choice as me. My personal vote goes to Mr. Day-Lewis, which is an unexpected surprise. Maybe in the future, Bradley and I can work together and Mr. Weinstein can be the producer. That should be very interesting..”
Nagging. These words, Renly kept talking endlessly, just like Tang Monk, which is definitely rare..
There was a touch of sarcasm and ridicule in Feng Lang's calm tone, and the sarcasm and attacks he picked at his fingertips were like needles hidden in a cotton bag. He felt uncomfortable all over his body, but he couldn't deal with it head-on. Inadvertently, he mentioned Jennifer's topic with one word, and then used a combination The fist launched its attack, but with that calm tone, the amount of information was released like a sudden storm, going around and around. Before he could understand it, his brain was already in a state of panic..
Friends who are familiar with Renly will know that he got angry and his mood fluctuated. Otherwise, with Renly's usual personality, he would choke the other person to death with a casual sentence, while retaining the elegance and courtesy of a gentleman. Dealing with it quickly and neatly is the best solution..
Harvey, who wasn't familiar with Renly, didn't know. He just felt the overwhelming attack. The huge amount of information couldn't react at all. He just felt the slaps again and again, and they were thrown hard, but they didn't land firmly. There was a fierce palm wind on the side of the face. It didn’t hurt, but it was humiliating..
The breath was stuck in Harvey's throat. He couldn't spit it out or swallow it. It felt really bad to feel like this.！
He clenched his fist, clenched his fist again, and the muscles in his spine were completely tense. He exhausted all his strength, but finally he was under control. Deep in his heart, he kept telling himself that he was the winner in today's battle! Moreover, this is just the beginning, this victory will continue！
So, Harvey held back forcefully, keeping his emotions from losing control and avoiding the embarrassment. Then he continued following Renly's words, "Of course, I am always concerned about your progress, everyone. Everyone knows that Renly Hall is the sexiest man in the world right now.”
He did not mention his work as an actor, but mentioned the selection of "People" magazine.
A small trick attack showed Harvey's attitude, and then he persuaded with earnest words, "In the past period of time, I have noticed that you have been intensively involved in shooting work. This is undoubtedly worthy of recognition. While you are young, , it’s normal to work hard. But young people still need to pay attention.”
After saying these meaningful words, Harvey raised his chin slightly and looked at Renly sideways, as if he was worried that Renly didn't understand. He added, "Hollywood is indeed a big dyeing vat that likes the new and hates the old. For young actors, it is a test." Countless, no one knows, one day, suddenly, they will fall from the clouds to the bottom, and then they will never be able to take roles again. The experience of the Coppola family is still heartbreaking to this day..”
Drawing on the Coppola family, Harvey's subtext has become explicit, and the meaning couldn't be clearer..
In the late 1980s, Francis Ford Coppola was burdened with a large amount of foreign debt and was unable to repay it, so he was forced to film "The Godfather Part III". The quality of the finished product was unsatisfactory, and then he encountered a lot of criticism; Nicolas Cage after the 1990s During the first half of the period, I owed a huge gambling debt. In order to pay off the debt, I had to make a lot of bad movies. Then I gradually became the "King of Bad Movies" and was unable to recover..
For young actors, how to choose works and how to plan their career are all crucial, because there is a long road ahead, and if you are not careful, you may completely disappear among the Hollywood crowd. Just like Nicholas, a lot of bad actors After being ridden with movies, he has now completely lost his appeal at the box office, and the works he has appeared in have become more and more bizarre..
Furthermore, Harvey is also hinting that Renly is now at the peak of his power, and has actively invited countless projects and scripts, but after the failure of one work, the overall form may completely change. By then, Harvey will definitely not show mercy. After adding insult to injury, It will definitely ensure that Renly can't stand up again..
Behind those smiling words, there were teeth-gnashing threats and intimidation..
“Thank you Mr. Weinstein for your opinion. I know that no actor in Hollywood is irreplaceable, and similarly, no producer in Hollywood is irreplaceable." Renly was not afraid at all, and said with a smile, "Jerry Brookhay Jerry Bruckheimer must have felt this deeply, and even Steven Spielberg is no exception..”
Frontal threat vs. frontal counterattack, Renly may be eliminated at any time, and so is Harvey？
In this circle where interests are paramount, no one is eternal except for interests, just like Jerry Bruckheimer.
He began to rise in the 1980s and became one of the top producers in Hollywood, with titles such as "Top Gun", "The Island", "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, "Black Hawk Down", "National Treasure", "Battlefield" "Police" and so on. Jerry is a powerful figure in Hollywood. Even in the face of giants like Disney, he can stand tall and dominate the industry for nearly thirty years..
Compared to Harvey, Jerry's power and status are no less powerful.
But, so what？
2010In 2011, the two works "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and "Prince of Persia" suffered an avalanche of disastrous failures. Then in 2011, the box office performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" failed to reach the expected height, and the influence of the entire industry showed a cliff. A sudden decline. At its peak, at least four works could be released a year. But now, in two full years, there has been no project at all..
For Jerry, "The Lone Ranger" created by the original cast of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has become his last lifeline and is officially scheduled for summer release in July this year..
And Renly knew the future clearly, and "The Lone Ranger" completely jumped into the street, even Disney suffered internal injuries..
The final result was that Disney terminated its long-term cooperation agreement with Jerry, and other large companies began to watch on the sidelines, cautiously daring not to act rashly. After running into obstacles everywhere, Jerry sadly withdrew from the first line and even the second line. In 2013 After that, his only film production was "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" - the box office was still unsatisfactory..
Most of the time, Jerry is stuck on the small TV screen. Unfortunately, even in the television field, Jerry can no longer play, and his production works are really disappointing..
Renly's counterattack instantly made Harvey's smile stiffen, unable to hide his emotions..
Harvey's eyes began to burst into flames, and his emotions were on the verge of exploding at any time. He seemed to be preparing to completely unmask and tear off his face, but at this moment, a laughing voice came from beside him, "I seem to hear me name.”
