Eight hundred and fifteenth chapter executor
Manhattan, New York, has concentrated a large number of famous companies around the world, and even the headquarters of some entertainment companies is also located in this place known as the world's financial center, such as Marvel Entertainment, which was reorganized by Marvel Comics, and Weinstein Pictures founded by the Weinstein brothers after leaving Miramax.
In a luxurious office, Bob Weinstein wearing glasses slowly flipped through the latest documents. Harvey Weinstein opposite sat quietly on the boss's chair, silently saying nothing, as if considering extremely important things.
This quietness lasted for a long time until Bob Weinstein slowly closed the document.
"It's so scary." Bob Weinstein pushed his glasses up. "A fussy novel, a project that six major companies don't read, has become a gold mine of pure output of hundreds of millions of dollars in Matthew Horner."
Harvey Weinstein nodded heavily, "I have to admit that Matthew Horner has really good luck and vision."
More than just good? Bob Weinstein flashed through this idea, but didn't say much.
He knew that Harvey had a prejudice against Matthew Horner, and saying these words only added some troubles.
After all, he is the man behind Harvey Weinstein and the second-in-command of Weinstein Pictures.
Harvey Weinstein lightly lit the table with his fingers, and once again thought of the project "Luxing", a continuous successful investment film by Matthew Horner. Will "Luxing" also explode like the "Twilight" series?
It seems that the possibility is very high.
If it is true, how much money did he snatch from himself?
There is also the Hobbit series...
At this moment, Harvey Weinstein felt heartbroken.
"Can't you win the breath of videos released at the same time?" he complained.
Bob Weinstein shook his head and continued, "The Weakness starring Sandra Brock is the second-place box office runner-up, with a little more than $30 million, and his reputation is pretty good. Maybe you can compete with "New Moon" for a long time; "Planet 51" is only more than $10 million, and this 3D animated feature film is going to lose money."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "The Crescent Moon has also been released overseas on a large scale, and the cumulative overseas box office has exceeded 150 million US dollars."
Harvey Weinstein nodded slightly, "That is to say, the global box office of "Cremlin" has exceeded 300 million US dollars in just one weekend."
Weinstein Pictures' best-performing films, and this is the final box office.
Bob Weinstein thought for a while and said, "Harvey, do you think we can work with Matthew Horner?"
"Working with Matthew Horner?" Harvey Weinstein narrowed his eyes, "What are you thinking, Bob!"
He snorted coldly, "Do you think I... will work with him?"
This tone means making a decision, but Bob Weinstein still said, "If you have interests, there is a basis for cooperation."
Harvey Weinstein glanced at him and said directly, "You are too naive." He quickly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers. "Matthew Horner has worked with Disney and Warner Bros. for many years and has a very close relationship. Do you think he will give up the six major cooperation goals and instead work with Weinstein Pictures?"
Bob Weinstein sighed, "It's hard." He persuaded again, "but it's not a bad thing to get in touch."
He still knew about the broken things that Harvey Weinstein and Matthew Horner had in the first half of the year. Harvey's behavior has become more and more arbitrary and domineering, and cooperation is in line with the needs of interests.
"Yeah." Harvey Weinstein nodded, "You really have to pay attention to Matthew Horner."
Bob Weinstein looked at Harvey Weinstein strangely. Was he just so easily moved by himself? This is not the character of Harvey Weinstein.
But the next words of Harvey Weinstein prove that Harvey Weinstein is still the same Harvey Weinstein. "Bob, let's keep an eye on Matthew Horner. He's interested in the project he wants to win, we can also try it."
"Harvey..." Bob Weinstein reminded, "Isn't that good?"
Harvey Weinstein raised his hand and interrupted directly, "No need to say more, that's the decision."
Bob Weinstein opened his mouth and finally rushed to his mouth and swallowed it back into his stomach. After all, Harvey Weinstein Pictures had the final say.
The man behind Harvey Weinstein is just an executor.
Then he discussed other work matters for a while. Bob Weinstein took the initiative to say goodbye and left Harvey Weinstein's office. When he went out to turn around and close the door, he glanced at Harvey Weinstein again.
He walked in the corridor and suddenly thought of a friend's reminder that being too arbitrary might ruin the future of a company.
That friend said it was not unreasonable. Look at Michael Eisner. This person who built Disney into a business empire almost destroyed Disney in the later stage.
Bob Weinstein thought of what his friend said while walking. Miramax and Weinstein Pictures, who were the leader of Hollywood second-tier companies, were the result of their nearly 30 years of joint efforts and sincere cooperation, but one person can only live in the back of another...
The largest shareholder of Weinstein Pictures is Harvey, the real decision-maker is Harvey, and the one who holds the power is Harvey.
Harvey alone has the final say in almost all major matters.
And what about him? The executor of Harvey Weinstein's decision.
Thinking of this, Bob Weinstein stopped quickly and told him rationally that these ideas were a bit dangerous and might shake the company's normal operations.
But when he returned to the office and sat in a chair, he had no intention of handling work, and his mind unconsciously floated towards some things.
It's almost thirty years, and it's almost thirty years for people to be their deputy! How many thirty years can you have in your life? It's almost old, but it's still a shadow...
What does it feel like to be able to truly make a decision on a company? Bob Weinstein has never really tasted it.
At Horner Manor, Matthew met Amanda, the head of his foundation, in the reception room.
"Africa's affairs are basically handled properly." Amanda's delicate face under her golden short hair was exhausted, "Ninety percent of the supplies and money we sent to Africa were used in places where we should use it."
Matthew nodded slightly and complimented, "If you want to go into politics, you may become the first female president."
Amanda shrugged and said with a touch of silly, "That's Hillary's job, right?"
"You have great potential to go into politics." Matthew joked casually, "Not everyone can have the same efficiency as you do when dealing with those bureaucrats."
The officials in this world are actually similar, and no crows in the world are whiter than anyone else.
Amanda nodded to his forehead, "Actually, I have a headache, too."
Matthew poured her another cup of tea and said, "I'll have a holiday for you, find a place to go out for a trip or vacation."
"I want to do it too, but I don't have time." Amanda smiled helplessly, "I want to help David Ellison and Sky Dance Films handle the donation of "Fast and Furious 4."
She stretched her waist slightly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things, let's talk about something that will cause you a headache."
Matthew looked at her curiously, "What can I have a headache?"
"Do you remember what we discussed?" Amanda changed into a plain tone like Helen Hermann. "Bob Weinstein has been standing in the shadow for nearly thirty years, and seems a little bored."
Hearing this, Matthew was silent for a while, thinking for a few minutes before saying, "Don't be anxious, just do it steadily. If you are anxious, it will only backfire."
Amanda smiled slightly, "Don't worry, our goal is a big shot in the entertainment industry, a person with a net worth of billions and a strong social influence, so how easy it is to deal with." She put away her smile, "We need time and opportunity."
Matthew thought for a while and said, "Do you know Ronan Farrow?"
"You asked me for his information a few months ago." Amanda obviously knew who this person was. "In New York, he had a certain reputation. He was a genius when he was a student, or a genius forced out by Woody Allen."
Matthew talked roughly about Ronan Farrow to Amanda, "We are on a path full of justice."
Amanda did not stay at Horner Manor for too long and left in a hurry in the afternoon. First, she had work to deal with, and second, Matthew also had something to deal with.
In the guest room on the second floor, Nini had already packed her luggage.
"Don't worry." Matthew said to her calmly, "After going back, you will be the best performance in the last round of selection, and don't relax in advance."
Nini understood what Matthew meant and said, "I won't let you down."
Matthew reached out and touched her face, "If everything goes well, you will be back soon."
These words made Nini smile instantly. Matthew looked at the time and picked her up directly, and had a special farewell ceremony.
The final round of Chinese female characters in "Fast and Furious 5" will start next week on the other side of Taiping. Just like most drafts, there is actually no suspense to the championship before the finals begin.
Meanwhile, "Twilight 2: Crescent" continues to be screened worldwide. The latest statistics show that the average score of this film among male audiences is only 3.2 points, while the average score of female audiences is as high as 8.5 points.
This also shows to a certain extent why the box office in North America was so terrifying in the first week.
After the first weekend, "Twilight: 2 Crescent" ushered in the Thanksgiving holiday, and more new releases squeezed into the theater, hoping to get a share of this rewarding schedule.
