1722 Frontal catastrophe
“It seems that industry rumors have misunderstood Mr. Weinstein..”
Faced with Renly's understatement but subtle words, Harvey's emotions instantly broke through the shackles of reason: sharp words and unyielding, Renly was always able to seize the upper hand in verbal confrontations; this time, Renly was even more It directly brought up the past confrontation of "Crazy Love", and the ridicule and ridicule between the lines were not concealed at all..
Harvey had never liked Renly, but after being extremely angry, Harvey calmed down. After countless storms, he naturally would not be like a young boy who loses control in public and leaves it to others. Instead, he sneered, "A hereditary aristocrat is indeed a hereditary aristocrat. Even the down-and-out children still look down on those small benefits. The trivial things in life cannot attract your attention. However, I don't know if this aloofness can still be achieved." how long to keep.”
“Then it's not the part you can worry about." Renly showed a shallow smile, his eyes bright and calm as he faced Harvey's gritted teeth expression, but with a light word, he hit Harvey hard in the face. retreat：
Even though they are down-and-out aristocrats, they are still the class that Harvey wants. Those vicious and provocative remarks are just a sour grape mentality. There are two completely different things between being noble in your bones and pretending to be noble. thing.
Harvey only felt a dull blow to his chest. He tried to say something, but then he realized that staying here would only be humiliating himself. It would be a wiser choice to turn around and leave, so he was slightly exaggerated. He raised his chin and looked at Renly almost through his nostrils, "The eloquence is indeed outstanding, but it's all that's left..”
After saying that, without waiting for Renly to respond or looking at Andre, Harvey turned and left - he was not going to leave room for Renly to fight back, otherwise he would be even more embarrassed..
But just as he started taking steps forward, Renly's voice came from behind, "Lord Andre, why did you wake up so early today? Don't tell me that you came here specifically for breakfast.……”
“No, no, I came here specifically to see the feedback on the movie..." Andre's hearty and bright answer rang out. It was still the familiar publicity and wantonness, but it lost the sharpness and posture before. Instead, it revealed A touch of youthful vigor - Andre and Renly are the same age.
Harvey's steps only paused for a moment, then he quickened his pace and pace, and quickly fled the scene..
get away.
This is Harvey's true mentality.
Renly is a fox, and his words are never without meaning. On the surface, Renly has ignored the Weinstein brothers and turned to greet Andre; but Renly's opening salutation was particularly harsh, "Andre." "Lord Dredd", among friends, Renly called him so solemnly, obviously he meant something..
Harvey is a smart man, and he is super smart. He reacted immediately: throughout the conversation, he called Renly and Andre "Your Excellency", but Renly's words woke him up. The Hall family is a baron, while the Hamilton family is a duke. There are naturally differences in the names of family members. Andre should be "Lord" instead of "Your Excellency"”.
The difference in titles reflects the essential difference in class. Combined with Renly's last sentence, "Then it's not the part you can worry about." "Okay," the use of this word names abilities and levels. The subtext is that Harvey is simply not qualified to point fingers..
shame! this is a real shame！
Having been in Hollywood for many years, Harvey has painstakingly managed his own situation. He has dealt with more or less real aristocrats in the United Kingdom, France, Sweden and other countries. He always thinks highly of himself. Even though he does not have an aristocratic title, Standing in front of the nobles, he would not be rude or disrespectful..
But on last year's Oscar night, Harvey lost his manners when he stood in front of Renly, and modeled aristocratic etiquette, but it completely turned into a nondescript imitation. Because of this, Harvey was furious, and after that, he hired a special tutor. , come to teach and point out the noble etiquette of oneself..
Unexpectedly, I hit a wall again today! Such shame, it's just too hard to swallow！
“I'm going to destroy him! I will destroy him with my own hands! " Harvey said through gritted teeth, all the sounds were lowered in his throat, rolling in a gurgling way..
Bob followed Harvey step by step and tried to dissuade him, but he just made a gesture of opening his mouth. Thinking back to the episode just now, he swallowed his original words and changed his words, "Are you ready?" what to do？”
Renly is now a very important figure in the entire Hollywood. Not to mention "destroying" him, you must be careful even in direct confrontation. Just look at the subsequent impact of "Hypegate".
Harvey did not answer, but turned his head and looked at Bob carefully and for a long time, as if he was examining the deep meaning behind the words he just said..
Bob did not speak, but just met Harvey's gaze, because he knew his brother. At this moment, any words may turn into a cover-up or a lie. He must not feel guilty and could only meet Harvey's gaze calmly..
“Oscar." Harvey finally spoke, which made Bob breath a sigh of relief deep in his heart. "He said he didn't care, but he must attend the Oscars every year; and the importance of the statuette is self-evident. This year is our chance.”
Bob understood what Harvey meant. On the one hand, "Gravity" and "The Ballad of Drunkenness" brought Renly to a new peak in his career; on the other hand, it also triggered a strong backlash from both the industry and outside..
The so-called "cooling down" is just a clever way of saying it. The truth is: after including EGOT, Renly has won all four major awards in North America. So what about the other actors? Leaving aside the three major European film festivals, there are thousands of actors on the North American continent who are waiting for their first Oscar. If the Renly family is allowed to dominate, what should other actors do?？
Judging from the current situation in Hollywood, Renly is still highly favored by film critics, and the professional recognition of Renly by fellow actors has also been settled. Therefore, Renly can easily win the nomination for the fourth consecutive year, chasing after Renly. Tied the records of Marlon Brando and Al Pacino; but in the second stage of the award voting, fellow actors will never give their votes to Renly.
Nomination depends on strength, and winning depends on luck. This is also the core content of the academy’s public relations calculation: people’s hearts.
“What's more, we are not alone now, are we? "After calming down, Harvey once again showed his game planning ability, "We should make a call to Thomas Tull." The light in the depths of his eyes flickered slightly, and Harvey whispered word by word. Said, “He should never want to step on the academy stage again! forever！”
A second statuette? dream！
……
“Hey, give me some good news." Andre showed a bright smile towards Damien and Simmons, and his words immediately became approachable, but the attention of the two people in front of him still remained on Weinstein. Brother, he has not been able to recover immediately within a short period of time..
For Damien and Simmons, the power and status of the Weinstein brothers are even more shocking; on the contrary, Andre and Renly's hereditary aristocratic origins are too far away and too advanced for them to usually They can't touch or feel it, just like the clouds high above. They can't empathize with the profound meaning contained in it. They just think, "Oh, hereditary nobles." After sighing and sighing, that's all..
Now thinking back to the confrontation and attitude of the Weinstein brothers just now, they are inevitably a little stunned..
Andre helplessly cast a glance at Renly, and expressed his meaning very frankly: They have never seen much of the world, and this little battle is frightening.？
Renly pursed his lips and ignored it..
There was no response to Andre's complaint, so he could only look away and continued, "It's so quiet, isn't it all bad news? This is a bad start.？”
This time, Damien finally came to his senses, "No... no no, good news, all good news." Then he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then continued, "I mean, The media all gave positive reviews, yes, positive reviews in the literal sense..”
Simmons finally reacted and joined the conversation..
Attention returned to media comments, and the atmosphere slowly became lively. Putting aside the provocations and conflicts between the Weinstein brothers, today was indeed a happy day.：
“"Breaking Drummer" successfully made its debut at Sundance. From media feedback to premiere audiences, word-of-mouth exploded. The hard-working filming and production of the work has been recognized. This is naturally a moment that needs to be celebrated. For Damien and This is especially true for Simons, two artistic creators who have endured hardships..
Even Sony Classics is overjoyed. They grabbed the film distribution rights early and can now start thinking about the North American distribution and promotion of "Crack Drummer".
The breakfast reading session didn't last long.
Damien went to be interviewed. As a director, he will need to accept a lot of interviews in the next few days to promote the movie. The same is true for Renly and Simmons. It’s just that today Damien started first; Simmons used the last leisure time. , I made an appointment with some good friends to meet up, hoping to enjoy the atmosphere of Sundance..
In the end, only Renly and Andre were left in the coffee shop, slowly enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning..
“You just did it on purpose, right? "Andre said carelessly..
Deliberately irritating Harvey Weinstein, or even deliberately driving a wedge between Harvey and Bob, it’s like... it’s like deliberately pushing the Weinstein brothers in the direction of Thomas Toole, forcing the Weinstein brothers to join forces with Toole Standing on the opposite side of "Gravity" and then on the opposite side of Warner Bros..
Andre strongly suspected that the fundamental purpose of Renly's behavior was to attract Warner Brothers into the game..
