American fame and fortune

The next morning, at the gate of Warner Studios, a black Cadillac drove into the parking lot.

Harvey Weinstein in the back seat said: "I fought a divorce case, went on a vacation with Joanna, and came back with a new project from a director I worked with, and no one reported it to me."

Stuart next to him said, "Bob doesn't want people to disturb you."

Hearing his brother's name, Harvey looked a little better, and said, "I'll go talk to Craven."

Stuart said, "Shall I go with you?"

Harvey waved his hand: "No, I'll go alone. You and Wes have been friends for many years, so don't get into conflict over this trivial matter."

In other words, Stuart expressed his attitude.

Harvey got out of the car, looked at Warner Studios, and frowned.

Since the release of "Lord of the Rings 3" last year, he and Warner Bros. have gone to court for copyright and income. Wes Craven actually chose this place as the crew's office.

Harvey couldn't help thinking that maybe he'd squeezed Craven too much in the "Scream" trilogy.

But the series was a hit, and he'd squeeze even harder if he did it all over again.

…………

According to yesterday's agreement, the studio will formally sign an investment agreement with Vincent and Sofia.

Early in the morning, Martin took Mene and Bruce to the hotel to pick them up.

At the entrance of the hotel, Bruce said to Martin: "You stay with them, and I will drive behind to cover you."

Martin patted Old Bu on the shoulder: "Brother, she's not interested in civilized people anymore."

Bruce looked at Mene who was full of curiosity, and warned Martin: "If you say a little more, the shit in your head will definitely fall to the ground."

Mene was surprised: "What? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Bruce turned to face Mene, and lifted his coat.

Mene was tactful and covered her mouth.

Bruce returned to the Volkswagen, intending to follow at a distance just like yesterday.

Martin and Mene entered the hotel lobby and waited for about five minutes before Vincent and Sophia came downstairs, followed by the bag boy Scott.

After getting into the commercial vehicle, Mene drove to Warner Studios.

Sophia remembered the handsome old man who suddenly disappeared yesterday, and asked, "Martin, I wanted to invite Director Craven to dinner last night, but he suddenly disappeared."

Martin responded: "The film has started preparations, and Director Craven is very busy." He vaguely reminded: "The crew's tens of millions of dollars in investment, the burden is all on Director Craven's shoulders. If he can't afford it, the project and investment It just broke."

Sophia understood the meaning, glanced at Martin, and smiled slightly on his fleshy face: "Let's talk about it later."

Seeing Sofia, Martin felt his heart shudder, and his buttocks kept shrinking into the seat.

Looks like this is Doctor Hyena.

Fortunately, Warner Studios arrived soon. When a group of people entered the studio, Sophia's attention was immediately attracted by the unexpected situation.

Martin led Vincent, Sophia and others inside, and there was a section away from the semi-open conference room. Through the transparent glass curtain wall, he saw a fat man.

The fat man is talking to Craven, his voice is relatively high, somewhat forceful: "Wes, if I didn't get the news, you plan to never tell me about this project? Are we still the best partner?"

Craven looked at Weinstein, somewhat helplessly: "Harvey, this is a temporary project. Recently, you have been busy with personal affairs and faced with so many troubles. I don't want to disturb you too much. It just so happens that someone is willing to invest."

Harvey said: "Louise Mayer's Pacific Films? A company that can only make platters, but has no production and distribution capabilities?"

His chubby face was full of smiles: "Just like the "Scream" series, Dimension Pictures invests in the production and distribution, and all those troublesome things are left to me, so you can make movies with peace of mind."

He was really at ease, knowing that the other party took most of the profits, but Craven didn't want to get into trouble with Weinstein, so he could only deal with it: "The studio has already been established, and exiting is very troublesome."

Harvey waved his hand: "Leave the sunk cost to me to discuss, Louise Mayer will be interested..."

Not far away, Martin stopped early, along with Vincent and Sophia.

Vincent lifted his cowboy hat: "What does this guy mean?"

Martin can hear clearly that once the project changes investors, it will trigger a series of chain reactions, and the protagonist may be gone.

He has no friendship with Harvey Weinstein.

Martin didn't want to attract Harvey's attention. Taking advantage of his back to this side, he stood back a little, covered his face with Vincent's cowboy hat, and said, "You heard me, people who rob projects and rob investments."

He didn't hide anything: "That man's name is Harvey Weinstein."

Sofia heard: "The man behind Gwyneth Paltrow?"

Martin nodded: "That's right. He has collaborated with Craven in many films. He has a strong personality and style, which is very troublesome." He looked at Sophia, thinking of Sophia's equally strong personality, and said directly: "I am a member of this circle. There is nothing you can do about him, and it will even make the situation worse."

Sophia said: "I'm not from Hollywood."

Martin's brain was running fast, and he whispered: "We have done so much, we can't give up, find a way to fuck him! I don't have the ability, but Sophia, you can."

Louise can't handle Harvey either, but Sofia is different.

Sophia waved to Scott: "Come with me."

Martin pointed to the office next to him: "Let's go in and wait."

Several people entered the office.

Martin's idea is very simple, don't show up in front of Harvey Weinstein at this time.

Sophia doesn't mix in Hollywood, her base is neither in New York nor in Los Angeles, she does things simply and directly.

"Sophia wouldn't pull out a gun to kill that fat man, would she?" Martin muttered inwardly.

Harvey was "persuading" Craven when he suddenly noticed someone coming over. He turned his head to look, and saw that the person was bigger than Tyson and Johnson, with bulging muscles all over his body, as if he was inflated.

"You are?" he asked.

Sophia Adam didn't hear it, and stretched her hand back: "Give it to me."

The bag-carrying boy Scott opened his leather bag, took out a pink water bottle, and handed it to Sophia.

kettle! See also kettle!

Sophia has a strong personality, but she is not stupid. She holds the egg base of the kettle with one hand, and the other hand has bulging veins, and she keeps shaking the kettle from top to bottom.

Her face was shaking with a smile: "Idiot, you actually want to steal my investment, or get out, or I will stuff it in your ass!"

Harvey saw that her face was unfamiliar: "Where are you from? Don't you know me?"

Sophia approached Harvey step by step, her sharp eyes fixed on Harvey's big buttocks, the kettle was poked out and retracted, and poked out again...

Harvey subconsciously clamped his buttocks, feeling that the opposite was not a human, but a female hyena.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Scott, and that peculiar splayed gait gave him even more bad associations.

Since the establishment of Miramax, Harvey has always been a tyrant and has never been blasted.

This time, he really felt the danger of being exploded.

If you don't leave, you will lose your ass.

How could the boss suffer from such a short-term loss, Harvey hurriedly bypassed Sophia: "Wes, let's talk about it another day."

He shot away like a ball of lightning.

Craven glanced at the pink water bottle in Sophia's hand and asked, "Is this the water bottle that Martin made?"

Sophia threw it to Craven: "Here you go, this thing is very popular."

Craven took it on, savoring the exaggerated look carefully: "You were joking just now, weren't you?"

"Of course not, if he doesn't leave, I will definitely stuff this thing in his ass!" Sophia said with a clear head, "You will prove for me that he asked me to do this on his own initiative, right?"

The one who paid the money was right, but Craven didn't answer directly, so he took it as a default and reminded: "Be careful with him, he is a big shot in Hollywood."

Sophia said: "I don't work in Hollywood, and if it angers me, I'll shake him and kill him."

Craven turned his head around the corner: "That's right, you're from Atlanta, he's a Yankee, and your main business isn't entertainment."

The distribution the studio is talking about is Warner Bros., and Craven isn't worried about distribution either.

Martin and Vincent came in from the outside and couldn't help laughing when they saw Craven holding a pink water bottle.

Craven hurriedly put it on the table and glanced at Sophia: "This is hers and has nothing to do with me."

Sophia was very angry: "I gave it to you, it's very useful."

Scott turned his head suddenly, splayed his figure splayed, and smiled at Craven.

The smile is cheap and swaying.

Craven suddenly thought of a certain possibility, and touched it with his hand again. He quickly hid that hand behind his back and rubbed it hard on his pants.

Martin didn't want any more surprises, and said, "Boss, Wes, let's hurry up and sign the contract."

Vincent echoed: "After signing the contract, the crew will send people to Mexico, and the funds will go directly."

"The tax bill is done well, and the tax that should be paid can't be less than a penny." Wes Craven is completely in charge of this project: "I let people prepare to sign the contract."

He added, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom first."

After entering the bathroom, Craven came to the sink, applied hand sanitizer and disinfectant, and washed it over and over again.

Rub hands until they turn red.

In the conference room, Martin looked at the kettle and asked Sophia, "Did you bring it?"

Sophia said, "That's right, I brought it."

The smile on Scott's face disappeared without a trace.

Martin quickly stopped: "We don't talk about this, we do business."

Afterwards, Wes Craven officially signed a contract with the person representing the studio, becoming the largest investor in the "Mountains Have Eyes" project, with a total production investment of 12 million US dollars, and enjoys the priority of publicity investment.

The crew immediately began to recruit people on a large scale, and the behind-the-scenes staff gave priority to people who had worked with Wes Craven and Alexander Ajia.

The crew did not need to be in charge of the actor Martin. After he got the full version of the script, he began to study the characters and prepare for the shooting.

Especially action scenes.
