Ace Hollywood

Miramax, or the Weinstein Brothers' Oscar focus will of course not be Daniel, but this year is not Miramax's big year, there is a lack of competitive works and actors in general, their main purpose is to nominate, It's basically done well now. Therefore, Daniel's award-winning PR under such a background appears to be relatively dominant.

Those Jewish judges who have the right to vote must give Weinstein some respect, right?

"To be honest, it's very likely."

"So, a young Oscar winner is about to be born?"

"Not only that, I just learned that Daniel once went to Paris on the eve of the Golden Globe Awards, and his whereabouts were completely kept secret. Do you know why he went?"

Sure enough, Bob got interested, unlike Harvey, who was sort of like Miramax's PR department, and Bob was in charge of a studio—they had to put out quality stuff, or PR doesn't work.

"He went to see Roman Polanski."

"The Pianist?" Of course Bob knew about Polanski's new project, but the news was really surprising, "Is it the male lead?"

"No accident." Harvey put down the report in his hand, "This work is of great significance to Polanski, and if it hadn't been fully approved by him, Daniel would not have gotten this opportunity. Tim Rowland of Snow Eagle is Their matchmaker, yes, Daniel met through Ridley and Tim. Now, Ridley, Tim, and the old Drake are all working hard to help him, not to mention Universal and DreamWorks, even MGM is also doing something that doesn't do much."

Bob was silent for a while, "Do we have a suitable project recently?"

"Why if only recently, Bob, give him a few more years, the scenery that belongs to Russell Crowe today is likely to belong to him, then our cooperation will be more meaningful."

The two wily Weinsteins looked at each other, and both understood each other's thoughts in their hearts. The contradiction between Miramax and Disney headquarters became more and more impossible to cover up and make up. That old guy, Michael Eisner, was talking to Disney movies. The karma is skewed, and they become unpopular "adopted sons".

After being silent, Harvey said hesitantly, "Daniel also told me something, I don't know how credible it is."

"Yep?"

"Remember Shanying's analysis of "Pearl Harbor"?"

"Of course, they thought it would be a less popular work."

Harvey nodded, "More than that, Daniel's attitude was more explicit. He said that Jerry had invited him to see the pilot version of "Pearl Harbor", and he felt that the box office of this work might be unexpected, although it was definitely not large. It will be low, but he estimates it will not exceed 200 million, you know that Disney has spent 250 million for it, and if this prediction is credible, then Michael will lose a lot this time."

"The board of directors will not remain indifferent for losses of more than 100 million yuan."

"Do you think we should speed up contact with Robert Iger?"

Bob is very cautious about this decision. This is not a small time. Although Michael Eisner's preference for the headquarters is not a secret, he can still maintain a positive face. If Miramax's attitude is more clear, Ace Na's attitude will definitely be completely different. No one knows whether the Weinstein Brothers will be kicked out of Miramax.

Although they created the company, when it was acquired, it meant that they had no final power to decide the future of the company.

"You have to be careful," Bob tapped the cap of the pen, "Didn't Daniel say the reason?"

"A bunch of analytical statements, to be honest, if it wasn't necessary, I would think he bought additional services from Shanying." Harvey said with a smile, "but it sounds really convincing, and - This is in the same direction as our prediction."

The office fell into silence again.

Calvin Kings has been making more phone calls lately.

It's no surprise to his family that this happens every year. Before the Oscars are approaching, there will be many people asking him to vote. Those lobbyists and public relations have become less, and now it's more of the media. To get a rough idea, if 80 out of 100 calls go to Russell Crowe, then their coverage is heavily skewed - a good time to earn trust and power .

"The vote needs to be kept secret, Jones."

"Stop doing this, Carvin, everyone knows you're a big mouth, and no one will blame you." Jones - not Jones of the Los Angeles Times, but Jones Linda of Entertainment Weekly , She has been doing Oscar coverage for many years, and she has a lot of ideas in dealing with Calvin. This well-known actor in the 1970s is indeed a big mouth.

Calvin obviously didn't mind. "The best actor and actress is as you guessed. As for the supporting actor, I chose Willem Dafoe, and the supporting actress is Marcia. I can't say anything else."

"OK, Calvin, this year is Gaia flying chess, isn't it?"

Jones Linda got an affirmative answer.

In her new report, she will repay Calvin's frank confession~www.readwn.com~ Oscar judge Calvin Kings was asked who voted for, and he was a little careless. It seemed that this question might as well be with him. The granddaughter had fun playing Gaia. He said that he voted for Russell Crowe and Julia Roberts respectively, in line with most forecasters. It seems that this time the reviewers and the Academy have achieved a rare agreement, but this It also seemed to detract from the Oscars. "

It won't be long before Gaia, a lesser-known maker of children's toys, will pay Calvin Kings a fee.

Calvin Kings likes to take small commercials, it's a safe way, because he's also going to some Gaia Ludo events to cover his income - who actually wants to invite such an old star to come to him What about promotions, unless you're at Elizabeth Taylor's level, obviously, Calvin's way too far from that level.

This is just one of the various delivery methods buried in Oscar's chain of interests.

One of the reasons why Oscar is so fascinating, of course, is that all parties can get what they want from here. Needless to say, stars, nominations, exposure and trophies, studios want box office bonuses and company reputation. In addition, the academy has gained authority and power, ABC is the ratings and advertising fees, and the Oscar judges, who are absolute power, will of course have their own channels.

Advertising is one of them, and it is also very popular to support younger generations and directly accept "promotional gifts".

Of course, this season's carnival will gradually dissipate after tomorrow's ultimate peak.
