Chapter 127 The Weinstein Brothers’ Plans

The outside of the theater is still crowded. Even though it is only a short distance from the place where you get off to the door, Miramax still lays the red carpet.

"Broken Arrow" is definitely incomparable to "Save Private Ryan", and Miramax is also not as good as DreamWorks. Although DreamWorks has only been established for two years and is younger than AC Media, the capital it has at its beginning is not comparable to that of any new company.

But the Weinstein brothers are still preparing for a grand premiere, which may not be as lively as "Save Private Ryan", but it can be considered a relatively popular one.

It’s nothing else. The last time “Breaking into the Deadly Island” made them a lot of money, so they naturally hoped that “Broken Arrow” would get the same big gains. After all, this movie was also handed over to them by the director of Miracle.

Therefore, when promoting, all kinds of gimmicks must be used. One of them is naturally Dennis' scandal. The triangular relationship between him and Winona and Jennifer is still a popular news in many gossip newspapers, and paparazzi have also harassed them a lot. These popular things alone are enough to attract attention.

As for the possible adverse consequences, it is not the scope that these two brothers need to think about. For them, making money is the most important thing. As long as they can make money, they will do anything extraordinary. This is a typical Jewish way of thinking, but Pity's Dennis.

Ah, it’s really touching. Just a TV series makes them have such an intimate relationship.

Adrian stood in the corner of the front hall and asked with a smile as he looked at the three men and three women who were laughing in the crowd not far away, saying that the three men and three women were naturally the six protagonists of "Friends".

Since Jennifer played the leading role in "Broken Arrow", he was forced to invite friends to attend the premiere. Although the six people also have small factions, such as Jennifer and Courtney are closer, and Matt and Matt are more tempted, the six people are indeed very good friends.

Yes, it's really envious.Dennis sighed bitterly beside him, looking a little listless.

Are you really not going to go over and say hello to them, Dan?Adrian looked at him teasingly, just a greeting, I don't think your Nori will have any objection.

I don't know, Ed.Dennis sighed again, To be honest, there was already some crack between Noli and I.

How could it be?Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Have you been able to make a decision yet?"Didn’t you tell me that I would solve it after I came back?

Yes, I said that, but... Dennis made a gesture, I wanted to make Jane as good as possible, I didn't want to hurt her anymore.Yes, I admit, I still have feelings for her, but Nori is my girlfriend, so I hope to get this out in a more peaceful way…

You told Nori about this, right?Adrian suddenly asked.

Dennis hesitated for a moment, then nodded: Yes, I told Noli about this, and I hope she can get her understanding.

How do I say hello to me, Dan?

Adrian sighed this time, and he shook his head and looked like he was so angry that he was so angry that he dared to say this to his dissatisfied girlfriend. God Ah, Dan, I have taught you more than once that women need a sense of security!When she was already feeling uneasy, you were still thinking about other women, and she was her rival. Do you think Nori would be very happy?

But... Dennis wanted to defend himself.

No, but Dan, even if you coax her on the surface and showdown with Jane in private is much better than telling her directly.

Adrian interrupted him and looked at him with a funny look: No wonder you were still very close in front of the reporter when you were outside, but she disappeared as soon as you came in.But her willingness to stay intimate in front of reporters means that she is not willing to leave you, so if you still want to win her back, it is best to go find her now. No matter how she squeezes you, you must stay with her with shame.

OK, I... go find her now.Dennis said this after thinking for a moment, but he hesitated to look at Jennifer when he said this.

Adrian, who was in his eyes, shook his head in his heart, and then said half-jokingly: In fact, you can find an opportunity to carry them to bed together as I said, and then do this a few more times, and they will naturally be able to handle them obediently. Sometimes, appropriate use of strength can also solve the problem, and maybe it will also make things develop in the direction you expect.

Dennis immediately coughed a few times and rolled his eyes at Adrian: Forget it, there are not many people like you, even in Hollywood, and your experiences are not suitable for ordinary people.

After saying that, he left and went to Winona. Adrian shrugged and looked at Jennifer. It was very interesting. The six actors of "Friends" who were still talking to were separated now.

He remembered that when he was chatting with Dennis just now, Jennifer glanced at them a lot, but Dennis was thinking about other things that didn't pay attention to, but instead made Adrian notice.

Obviously, the situation between the three of them is far more complicated than Dennis described, but Adrian would not interfere in these things until he had no choice. At best, he would only mention a few words from the side. This is Dennis' housework after all.

So, having power is more important than anything else.

Adrian whispered in his heart.

As long as you have enough power, the problem is not a problem at all. Although a sense of security is a feeling, it also needs to be transformed in reality.

Well, it's time to prepare a better work for Dan to increase his popularity a little more, but don't say I didn't help you, Dan.

He then chuckled in his heart.

No matter what, Dennis was promoted by him.

Hi Ed.Just as Adrian was about to go to the screening room, the sound of greeting rang in his ears, and then the stubble-faced face of Harvey Weinstein appeared.

Ha, you look pretty good, Harvey.

Adrian smiled and shook his hands. Generally speaking, Harvey Weinstein handled this kind of occasion, and Bob Weinstein likes to stay behind the scenes.

Then, he patted John Travolta on the shoulders of Harvey's side: So, John, have you seen the critics praise your acting skills?

After saying hello to them, Adrian turned his eyes to the Asian face, his smile suddenly faded a lot, and he had a little reserve with his chin, and he stretched out his hand: Hello, Mr. John Wu, we are meeting again.

It's Ah, I'm glad to see you, Mr. Adrian.

The other party shook his hands respectfully. He was about fifty years old, with slender eyes and a little fat, with a square face and a bald forehead. Needless to say, it was the director Wu who would not make a movie without a pigeon.

I believe this will be a good work, sir.

Adrian said in a comforting tone. To be honest, he didn't like this. Although he didn't particularly like Wu Baige, his early Hong Kong-style works were still very good.

However, one place has to be told about the rules of the place. If he now looks extremely intimate with Wu Baige, then the people around him will more or less contempt and dissatisfied with him.

Although this is where strength speaks, some things hidden under the water must also be given priority. Besides, with Adrian's ready-made achievements and power, if he really does this, it would be like slapping people around him in the face.

No matter how powerful these things are, they cannot be changed. They have to depend on the partner for the relationship, so he does this way, both for himself and Wu Baige.

I also believe that this is what the director of miracle said.Weinstein inserted it in with a smile, and pulled Travolta on at the same time. Do you think so, John?

Of course, the movie Ed has never failed.Travolta is much more honest than Wayne Ste.

OK, don't flatter you anymore, to be honest, Harvey, what do you want to ask.Adrian smiled and exposed him, very straightforward.

Really, do I look like I am very purposeful?

Weinstein shouted dissatisfiedly, but he immediately changed into a smile. Frankly speaking, you really have no other plans?

Don't be so anxious, Harvey, some things need to be taken slowly. If you move forward too quickly, it will easily lead to a failure. Think about your strengths.

Adrian said with a smile, how could he not know what Weinstein meant.

Their brothers are determined to develop and grow Miramax into Hollywood's leading film company. Although they started out as independent films, they have always been eager to invest in big productions.

However, it is not that easy to make a big movie. Even Lianmei, which was once in the limelight, was acquired by MGM for poor management, and MGM almost went bankrupt because of "Gate of Heaven", let alone a medium-sized film company like them?

Now Adrian gives them a chance, and the big sale of "Brave the Deadly Island" has made them see the dawn and naturally wants to continue to work hard.

Unfortunately, Adrian did not want to give them more big productions. He had already had specific ideas about the future of AC Media's film production, and he was still missing the last piece of the puzzle. He would definitely not allow Miramax to be too strong, even if he was already a wholly-owned subsidiary of AC Media, so he would answer Weinstein in this moment.

However, Adrian did not completely refuse. He fell into the mule so that the mule would run faster, so he immediately showed something he thought of: Oh, speaking of it, because Wu, I really had an idea.

Suddenly, Weinstein and Travolta both looked at Wu Baige, and the middle-aged man suddenly became at a loss. He was just here to be a guest, just like leaving a good impression on these Hollywood bigwigs as much as possible, but unexpectedly, Adrian named him: Because of me?

Yes, I have also watched a lot of your movies, such as... "The True Color of Heroes", "The Two Heroes of Blood", "The Detective", etc.

Adrian nodded and said, he deliberately used Chinese when talking about the name of the movie.

You can speak Mandarin?Wu Baige showed a look of surprise and asked subconsciously in Cantonese.

Well...sorry, I have learned some Chinese and have no problem with basically communicating, but I don’t understand...well...those dialects.

Adrian then said in English again, laughing a few times in his heart despite a little apology.

It doesn’t matter, Hong Kong… There are indeed not many people speaking Mandarin.Wu Baige showed an awkward look and turned back to English.

Fortunately, Weinstein inserted it at this time: Hey, what else do you say?Can you stop communicating in languages ​​that we don’t understand?

It's nothing. I only talked about some of John's works when he was in Hong Kong. It was very good. Although the structure was not big and there were many shortcomings, there were also some commendable aspects. My inspiration came from those movies.

Adrian paused when he said this, and after buying a silence, he said again: It is a police and gangster movie. What story will happen when the positions of two life-and-death enemies of the police and gangsters are changed.

Position shift?Did Weinstein wrinkle or not, looking like I don't understand what you are talking about. Can you explain it in detail?

Hey, Harvey, this is just an idea, not even a preliminary outline, how do you want me to say in detail?

Adrian spread his hands, then pointed to Wu Baige who was in deep thought. Look, he already had an idea.

No, no, I just recall which work I got would give you such…inspiration.Wu Baige quickly said in a defensive manner.

OK, John, if you want to, maybe you can direct this movie, which should be your best subject matter.

Adrian smiled and said, "It's because of this that I decided to invite you."

You do know me very well.Wu Baige smiled, I am very willing, sir.

very good.Adrian nodded and looked at Travolta. So, another John, should you be willing to play one of the leading roles?

I?Travolta looked at him in surprise, but immediately smiled. No problem, if I refuse, he will definitely be the stupidest fool.

Don't worry, I will find a good opponent for you.Adrian patted his shoulder hard.

Then... Weinstein then leaned over with a look of enthusiasm.

Don't worry, Harvey, let's talk about it when the basic preparations come out.Adrian laughed, then pointed to the door of the screening room. It's time for us to go in, and the movie begins soon.

Needless to say, the movie Adrian mentioned has nothing else except "The Two Heroes", which is also Wu Baige's brilliant work in Hollywood, and then it soon began to go downhill.

The land area of ​​Hong Kong determines the size of its film structure. If it is a police, gangster, kung fu, or delicate emotional film, those filmmakers may have done a good job. In addition, the group of people who came to Hong Kong in the 1950s are also quite capable in historical subject matters, but it would not work if they involved other topics.

Moreover, Hollywood's system is different from Hong Kong. Hong Kong is the final say of all directors. In Hollywood, except for famous directors, only producers and investors generally have the right to speak.

King of Sunglasses is famous for making movies without scripts, so when he goes to Hollywood, he can't write the script first.

Adrian did not intend to support Wu Baige. He just wanted to squeeze it out first. If Wu Baige changes in the future, it would be fine. If there are only those three tricks, then go to fend for yourself.

Frankly speaking, Wu Baige's three axes are still very attractive to the people he first met. Although there is no church or white pigeon in "Broken Arrow", the sensational slow motion, the confrontation between the gun and the bullets that can never be finished, was fully demonstrated by him, especially the slow motion shots that were shot by the guns were very contagious.

However, for Adrian, the biggest surprise was the female park detective played by Jenny Fianiston.

To be honest, when Dennis asked him to arrange a transformation role for Aniston, he was not very sure. Although playing a role that is completely opposite to the usual image of the audience is a way for many actors to make breakthroughs, not every actor can successfully transform.

Because of her understanding of Friends, Adrian remembers it very clearly that Aniston could not escape the framework of the character Rachel, the most popular TV series trapped her image.

Of course, she didn't actually try all the methods. After all, if you make up your mind to really break through, there are some methods, but everyone has their own bottom line.

However, in "Broken Arrow", she cut her hair short and was very short, almost the same as an ordinary man, but she gave people a completely different feeling. If the long hair looks sweet and cute in "Broken Arrow", then the short-haired female policewoman in "Broken Arrow" can be said to be heroic.

Even people like Adrian who are very familiar with "Friends" can't help but be stunned when Aniston appeared, not to mention those viewers who have only been following "Friends" for two seasons.

Even the critics were not stingy with their praise: This should be Miss Jennifer Aniston's first role as the heroine of a movie. I have to say that her performance was shocking. Before that, the image we are most familiar with was the popular "Friends" on NBC. She interpreted the confused, greedy but loving life-loving Rachel Green vividly, so many people opposed it when they heard that she would play the heroine in an action movie.

However, it turns out that she is an excellent actor. Her weak and heroic appearance in "Broken Arrow" is impressive. It is particularly worth mentioning that Jennifer has made a lot of efforts for this movie. Not only did she take over the training and shoot a lot of dangerous actions herself, but she even cut off her beautiful long hair that she had been retained, and she was very dedicated.

This is true. During the period when the movie and the TV series were filming at the same time, Aniston was filming in a studio of the TV series with a wig.

However, such comments are just a flash in the pan, and media reports are more focused on other aspects.
