Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 751 full of conspiracy

Disney's new movie "The Teacher Killer" is about to be released.

The production cost of the film was 35 million US dollars, which is not high. However, the director of the film is the well-known Coen Brothers, and the leading actor is Tom Hanks, so it is naturally highly anticipated by the market.

As a result, Disney organized a not-so-large premiere in Los Angeles.

Michael Eisner personally invited Tang En to attend in a low-key manner accompanied by his friend Sofia Coppola.

With Tang En's current status and status, attending the premiere of a small movie was not simply a matter of favor.

Even Disney can't afford such a big favor.

Michael Eisner dared to invite Tang En over, so he naturally had to deliver some benefits.

"What do you think of the movie?"

Just as Tang En expected, after watching the movie, Michael Eisner solemnly invited him to the subsequent social reception.

Tang En smiled: "The movie starring Tom Hanks is definitely not too bad."

"Perfunctory!" Michael Eisner was dissatisfied, "What about box office expectations?"

Tang En shrugged, "After all, we won't lose money."

As he spoke, he patted the back of his female companion, Sofia Coppola, pointed to the front right, and said quickly, "Director Cohen is over there, don't you want to say hello?"

Sofia Coppola gave him an angry look.

Michael Eisner still didn't give up, and asked stubbornly: "Tang En, you don't really dislike the movie "The Teacher Killer", do you? I really think it's very interesting."

Tang En said: "From the performance point of view, of course it is very good. Tom Hanks never disappoints. The photography, picture, script and other aspects are also excellent. There is no doubt about the ability of the Coen Brothers. However, they The depth of pursuit is a bit biased, and the whole story shows extreme religious morality, which does not meet the standards of commercial films."

Michael Eisner's face darkened, and then he sighed.

Disney's film business has a long way to go!

Movies are the leader.

It is conceivable that New Universal is driven by a strong film power, and in a few years, I am afraid it will really surpass Disney.

Tang En smiled and pushed him on the shoulder, "You asked me to come here today because of such a trivial matter, right? Is it because of "Fahrenheit 9/11"?"

The circle of Hollywood is so big, and many contradictory incidents can spread quickly in the industry.

Disney's documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" is one of them.

Disney was reluctant to release the film, but the rights to Fahrenheit 9/11 belonged to Miramax.

The executive power of Miramax is in the hands of Harvey Weinstein.

Disney can refuse to release, and Miramax is strictly prohibited from co-publishing with other distribution companies.

But, Harvey Weinstein always has a solution!

"That bastard!"

When mentioning this incident, Michael Eisner had a headache and said very annoyed: "Harvey is a liar! At the beginning, he said that he wanted to make a documentary about the 9.11 incident, but he did not submit relevant documents. The planning proposal and script draft. Because there was only an investment of 5 million US dollars, the production department did not seriously review it and passed the financial reimbursement. Unexpectedly...it was a political film criticizing the White House!"

Tang En looked at Sofia Coppola, who was chatting and laughing with many important people in the distance, and secretly sighed in his heart. She was indeed a lady from a famous family, and her social skills were really strong.

At least a lot better than girlfriends like Natalie, Scarlett, and Gal Gadot.

Tang En had no interest in the matter of "Fahrenheit 9/11", so he casually said, "Is it enough to block it? Miramax is Disney's property, so you can't even control it?"

Michael Eisner had a bitter face, "When Miramax was acquired, many management agreements were signed, and Harvey Weinstein has the right to operate independently."

"So what? New Line Pictures still has the right to operate independently, isn't it also overwhelmed by Warner? Two-thirds of the employees have been laid off!"

"Hey, I know. But that bastard Weinstein is contacting a lawyer to buy the distribution rights of "Fahrenheit 9/11" from Miramax in his own name. He is determined to fight me."

"ah?"

Tang En was quite surprised.

Harvey Weinstein's courage is really fat!

Disney, from top to bottom, is opposing the release of "Fahrenheit 9/11", and their attitude is very firm. As a result, Harvey Weinstein desperately fought for the opportunity to publish.

This is to tear the skin off!

After offending an industry leader like Michael Eisner, can he still hang out in Hollywood?

funny right?

Huh?

wrong!

Harvey Weinstein in his previous life was fired by Disney just after the release of "Fahrenheit 9/11" and founded Weinstein Films.

This Weinstein film industry, not only did not collapse, but its performance increased day by day, very powerful!

It is more vibrant than the DreamWorks led by the "Big Three".

This is very strange.

Michael Eisner lowered his voice and said secretly: "That bastard has a close relationship with people from the democratic parties. Especially during this period of time, there are a lot of contacts."

Tang En's complexion changed drastically, "Does he dare to play politics?"

Michael Eisner shook his head and said: "It's not clear yet. But at present, it is very likely that if no one is behind it, how dare Harvey Weinstein risk the world's dissatisfaction and wholeheartedly want to release "Fahrenheit 9/11"? Such a movie? I told him clearly that if "Fahrenheit 9/11" comes out, I will fire him without hesitation! But he is still unmoved. Without a strong background, I don't think he would dare to follow me. Right."

Tang En narrowed his eyes and nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that this is really the case!

DreamWorks, which is flying solo, is out of breath being suppressed by the big six in Hollywood. How can Harvey Weinstein make Weinstein Pictures flourish?

Is he better than Jeffrey Katzenberg, Steven Spielberg, and David Geffen combined?

You know, the major shareholder of DreamWorks is Paul Allen, the fourth richest man in the world!

The most glorious years of the Weinstein film industry coincided with the period when *** was in power.

He came in and out of the White House as easily as coming home.

When President Trump is out and the Republican Party is in power... Harvey Weinstein will have an accident immediately.

Michael Eisner added in a low voice: "This year is the election year. If "Fahrenheit 9/11" can be released before then, you should understand what it means."

"hiss!"

Tang En took a breath.

conspiracy!

Full of conspiracy!

However, Tang En had the foresight, he knew the general trend of history.

In the previous life, after the release of "Fahrenheit 9/11", although it had a great negative impact on the Bush team, it did not cause a qualitative impact.

Under the banner of "seeking stability amidst chaos", "not changing coaches before the battle", and "anti-terrorist heroes", the Bush team defeated the Democratic Party's campaign strategy of "recovering the economy" and "ending the war" and was re-elected.

Tang En was not interested in politics. To him, he could earn unparalleled and amazing wealth by doing business cleanly and making money. There was no need to participate in political games to seek benefits.

He shook his head, waved his hands, and snorted coldly: "I'm not interested in caring about who is behind Harvey Weinstein now, I just want to find out who is the mastermind behind Mia Farrow!"

Michael Eisner paused, nodded, and said in a low voice, "Well, I just wanted to tell you about this today."

"you know?"

Tang En's eyes lit up.

Michael Eisner shook his head, "I have some information. Mia Farrow has a video tape in her hand. She wanted to play it on ABC, but we rejected it. As far as I know, before that, she had already found Passed nbc."

"NBC is negotiating a merger with Comcast. At this time, it will definitely not participate in the controversial incident. By the way, have you watched the content of the video?"

"It's Mia Farrow's interview with her daughter Dylan Farrow, it was taped many years ago, when... Dylan was seven years old. The main content, in the mouth of Dylan Jr., said a lot Woody Allen's . . . sexual assault crimes."

Tang En opened his eyes wide and turned pale with shock: "There is still such a videotape?"

If it is true, then Woody Allen is completely over!

The New Universal Women's Rights Association, which stood for him, would also lose its reputation.

Twain's Hollywood women's power layout will also be completely disrupted.

"Don't worry, it's not that serious." Michael Eisner made a downward gesture, "That tape...is wrong!"

"has a problem?"

"Well. The image quality of the video tape is not very good, but it can be clearly seen that there were many pauses and reshoots during the recording. This is an edited video tape."

Tang En blinked and suddenly realized.

As long as the film and television content has been edited, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

If it was a normal recording, why did the tape need to be edited?

Even if there are a lot of redundant shots, it doesn't matter, you can release them all and let the broadcaster do the post-processing, not the videotape shooter.

If the video tape is not a coherent shooting, but multi-segment shooting, post-editing and synthesis... It is not difficult to imagine that Mia Farrow was intermittent during the recording process. In the gap between the shots, the rhetoric of "guiding" her daughter is also unknown.

"What do you think about this matter?"

"I think... Redstone is unlikely."

Tang En glanced at him, "So confident?"

Michael Eisner smiled, "Intuition. Viacom is in a mess, and Redstone still has the energy to do these things? Look, abc and nbc have rejected this video one after another. If Ray is really behind it Shi Dong, CBS has no reason to refuse to broadcast."

Tang En nodded slightly, "What if it's Ted Turner?"

Michael Eisner pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "The merger of AOL and Time Warner is an unprecedented and huge mistake. The reason why Ted Turner still has a certain influence in Time Warner is not because he is the biggest individual shareholders."

"That is?"

"Because Ted Turner is very close to the Bush administration!"
