When Matthew nodded slightly when he heard the name Harvey Weinstein, he certainly knew who Harvey Weinstein was. The Weinstein brothers are definitely the top big shots in the Hollywood independent production industry and one of the backbone of the producers' league. Looking at the entire Hollywood, they are also a person with great power.

Since the two brothers' film companies have truly emerged in the early 1990s, becoming the banner of Hollywood's independent film circles, and then joined the Oscar game. Since the mid-1990s, Harvey Weinstein has completely changed the rules of the Oscar game. If the previous Oscar PR would affect the award, after Harvey Weinstein won the Oscar for Best Picture in the British Patient, the Oscar has truly entered the era of PR decisions to win.

Among them, the representative works are undoubtedly "Shapes' Love History" killing "Save Soldier Ryan", "Chicago" beats "Pianist", and also won several Oscar-winning actors and actresses...

Until now, people mention Gwyneth Paltrow won the Oscar for Best Actress with "Shapes Love History", and they all regarded it as a joke and a scandal.

Of course, there are countless actresses who want to imitate Gwyneth Paltrow. Even the most awesome Oscar winner is still the best actress, and can make her value soar.

Naturally, Harvey Weinstein, who can win Oscar nominations or even awards, has also become the target of countless male and female stars.

As we all know, the independent film industry is far more chaotic than the mainstream commercial film industry in Hollywood. As Harvey Weinstein, who holds great power, his life and work style can be imagined.

The capital composition of large-scale commercial films is complex, and the corresponding power constraints are more obvious. Moreover, the risk of failure of investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is huge. Once it fails, it will be enough for the responsible director and producer to fail in their entire lives.

The source of independent production funds is relatively single, the investment scale is small, the risk pressure is also small, and the power is often concentrated. For example, the films operated by Harvey Weinstein are mainly Oscars to win awards. They often gather three or four films specially customized for the college every year to attack the Oscars. As long as one of them can win important awards, even if all the others fail, the Oscar effect bonus will be enough to make a profit.

From the mid-1990s to the present, Harvey Weinstein has messed up more independent films than successful movies at the Oscars, but the film companies he and Bob Weinstein have successively become larger and stronger in scale and influence, and the two brothers are becoming more and more wealthy.

This business model is only suitable for independent films with small investments. If it is replaced by commercial blockbusters, a large production with an investment of US$200 million may fail, and it may be doomed.

It is no exaggeration to say that after years of development, Harvey Weinstein has become the golden signboard of the Hollywood independent production industry.

Like the famous Judy Denge, when she collaborated with Harvey Weinstein on "Shape's Love History", in order to please Harvey Weinstein and won the Best Supporting Actress, she directly tattooed the name of Harvey Weinstein on her hips, and claimed that she could show the tattoo on the Oscar red carpet as long as it is necessary...

For all actors who have ambitions for Oscars, the name Harvey Weinstein has great magic and appeal.

However, for celebrities who focus on business development, Harvey Weinstein is just like a passerby, and the Weinstein brothers rarely get involved in first-line commercial productions.

The most deeply involved in the commercial production has only participated in a small part of the investment in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

In addition to his reputation in the Oscars and independent film circles, Matthew has heard the most rumors about Harvey Weinstein, but he likes to call actresses to hotels for auditions, hold meetings and talk about work. Anyone who has been in Hollywood for a few months basically understands what this means.

There have been rumors in the circle that most of the actresses who have worked with Harvey Weinstein, including female stars such as Gwyneth Paltrow, have an affair with Harvey Weinstein.

据说当年格温妮丝-帕特洛与布拉德-皮特相恋时,布拉德-皮特曾经找上哈维-韦恩斯坦,差点把这个矮胖子给揍了.

Deals like giving and rewards are very common in Hollywood, but today's Hollywood is not in the 1950s and 1960s. Transactions are basically based on your love and mutual willingness, and there are few forced situations. However, the rumors that Matthew heard that Harvey Weinstein likes to mess around, and sometimes he will use force against some ordinary little actors.

Those young actors could only swallow their anger due to his power or their own future.

However, if you walk a lot, you will eventually encounter pitfalls.

In this era of high information circulation, it is unrealistic for a person to block all the news. Hollywood bosses and top superstars who can bring opportunities are both romantic and not obscene. Like Michael Bay, he is also famous for his favorites to be with the actresses in his crew, but his reputation is much better than Harvey Weinstein.

If you use strong people more often, you will eventually meet a woman who doesn’t want to swallow her anger. Maybe Harvey Weinstein can suppress it once or twice, but if you use them more often, the pressure from the media and the police will increase. Then someone will push it from behind...

Such an era where information can spread all over the world in a few minutes. Once you are entangled with such a scandal, you will not be able to clean it.

Matthew knew very well that the Hollywood circle was very realistic and powerful, and even himself was no exception.

If someone is plagued by a huge scandal, you can only think that everyone will stand up and can't wait to beat the dog in the water, and quickly draw a clear line.

This is what Hollywood looks like.

When he was a young actor, he once heard an extra person who had just entered the circle say that Hollywood has no unspoken rules, Hollywood has no right to trade, Hollywood is as clean as a pool of clear water, Hollywood's sound system avoids all black transactions...

Matthew only replied to the extra: Hollywood is so clean! It doesn’t look like the human world.

I wonder what the extras would think when they saw Harvey Weinstein?

Perhaps Harvey Weinstein has a pure relationship with the rumored actresses and female stars, but the relationship lasts a little shorter.

Matthew thinks he is not a good person either. He has a lot of fun in women, but he will never lose his taste and use it. Not to mention anything else, just the possible consequences are worthy of being vigilant.

He does not forget his original intention, but his original intention is for enjoyment, not for causing trouble for himself.

In just a few minutes, countless thoughts about Harvey Weinstein flashed through Matthew's head.

"Hellen has something specific?" he asked.

Bella Anderson shook her head, "No, Helen only said it was related to "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta." She immediately handed over her phone, "Helen asked you to call her back."

Matthew took the phone and dialed Helen Herman's number, "It's me, Helen."

Helen Hermann's voice rang out, "Harvey Weinstein just came to the company to find me for "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta."

"What does he want to do?" Matthew frowned slightly, "We have no business dealings with him, right?"

Helen Hermann on the other side of the phone said directly, "Harvey Weinstein wants the right to publish "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". I am not familiar with him and basically have no contact. It was introduced by Frank Miller."

Perhaps it was probably guessing that Matthew didn't know much about these overly complicated personnel relationships, and she explained, "Frank Miller and Harvey Weinstein have cooperated. The producer of "Sin City" is Dimen Pictures, owned by Weinstein's brothers, and the publisher is Miramax."

Matthew asked in confusion, "Didn't the Weinstein brothers have left Miramax?"

"When the release of "Sin City" was confirmed, Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein were still in Miramax," Helen Herman explained on the phone. "They only officially left Miramax this year to found Weinstein Pictures. Now Dimen Pictures is a subsidiary of Weinstein Pictures."

She paused for a moment and then said, "After the success of "Sin City", Harvey Weinstein realized the value of Frank Miller's works. If he hadn't been busy splitting up with Walt Disney, we would probably not have been able to obtain the authorization of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors". Now the Weinstein brothers have left Miramax, drawn a line with Walt Disney, and have the energy to deal with film affairs, but the copyright of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors" has been in our hands."

Matthew smiled, "We are lucky."

According to Helen Herman, if it weren't for the conflict between the Weinstein brothers and Walt Disney, it would be difficult for them to obtain the film license for "The Three Hundred Warriors of the Spartan" from Frank Miller.

After all, Frank Miller has worked with the Weinstein brothers in "Sin City".

He shook his head and asked, "Isn't Harvey Weinstein only interested in independent films?"

Helen Hermann said calmly, "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta are also an independent film in essence."

Matthew thought about it and said that only a small film company like Sky Dance Pictures, as an investor, can indeed be included in the ranks of independent films.

"What do you think about this?" Matthew asked again.

"Harvey Weinstein is very capable. The Weinstein Pictures he founded has certain distribution capabilities, and there is no doubt that this is the case." Helen Herman's voice was still so indifferent, "But he is not as good as Warner Bros. We don't plan to win the award!"

"That's right." Matthew laughed, "Why did you tell him?"

"Sky Dance Pictures has signed a release agreement with Warner Bros.," Helen Herman said slowly. "We don't need to offend a big shot like Harvey Weinstein. I've pushed all of them on the head of Sky Dance Pictures."

Matthew understood, "Let David Ellison quarrel Harvey Weinstein? This is a good idea."

Helen Hermann ignored Matthew's words, but instead reminded him, "You are the key to this project. Be careful, Harvey Weinstein may come to you."
