At the 620th Oscar at the beginning of the year, the Silence of the Lambs not only Gong Li suppressed Jessica Tandy to win the Best Actress Little Golden Man, but Anthony Hopkins also suppressed Daniel Day Lewis and other candidates to win the Best Actor Little Golden Man. Daniel Day Lewis was nominated for My left foot was Harvey Weinstein as the driving force, and Miramax released a video

There are a lot of new and old hatreds

This is not just a movie hero’s problem, it involves the interests of millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

Like Miramax, who is run by Harvey Weinstein, a company specializing in producing and distributing low-cost geographic films, may have a normal profit of only one million dollars a year.

You should know that Harvey Weinstein and Miramax have not had many years of rising

In the 1970s, Weinstein and his younger brother Bob jointly opened Miramax Film Company as an independent film distribution company in Hollywood.

In the era of Hollywood big manufacturers, independent films were very niche, and large studio manufacturers did not value independent films very much, so the situation of independent films was quite difficult.

It's completely the self-entertainment of a group of so-called artists who are consciously trying to be arrogant.

So, Harvey Weinstein and his Miramax Film Company have been developing very ordinary for more than a decade.

But the movie market is changing

Over the years, more and more independent films have made great achievements in film awards, and Harvey Weinstein has a good vision of watching movies, so he has successfully caught up with this wave of changes in the film market.

Miramax has become famous in the past two or three years, and has attracted widespread attention for the excavation of excellent productions from a large number of art theaters.

To be precise, it was actually last year's incident. Stephen Soderbergh's Palme d'Or award-winning work "Sex, Lies and Video Tapes" is a famous work by Miramax and Harvey Weinstein.

Then it was my left foot that hit the Oscar.

However, this movie was intercepted by Qiao Feng and the Silent Lambs

But this still doesn't hide the excellence of my left foot

Then this year Miramax released the Swiss movie Hope Journey, which is another masterpiece that has hit the Oscars for the best foreign language film.

Such excellent works have been discovered in two consecutive years. I have to say that Harvey Weinstein's vision is really too good

This is also why Weinstein later became known as the "modern movie saver"

Harvey Weinstein is definitely a pioneer of independent film companies. It can even be said that the main reason why Harvey Weinstein has been so fond of independent films ten or twenty years after the Oscars is definitely the main reason why he prefers independent films so much.

Because the Olympic Awards are to refer to the commercial nature of movies, this was before independent films emerged and flourished.

But Weinstein subtly changed the traditional aesthetic taste of Oscars

But independent movies are independent movies

Oscar judges value it, but they still cannot change its small cost nature

Independent movies can be seen just by looking at the literal meaning. Independence means less investment, and less investment means it is difficult to become a commercially qualified movie.

Especially in a society like Hollywood, don’t talk about any commercial films without investment

Because of the low investment, independent films can only be made in niche art films. Because of the art films, even if you do anything in awards, independent films will not have too many business achievements.

Therefore, Harvey Weinstein, who mainly engages in independent film distribution, earns less money than his identity in the film industry.

Michael Orwitz, a Caa agency that is somewhat similar to Harvey Weinstein, is called the head of Hollywood movie star by many media, saying that he is the king behind Hollywood.

Those shining stars in Hollywood are just chess pieces, just like props in the movie, everything is followed by the mercy of the master behind the scenes, and the master behind the scenes is Michael Orwitz

But in fact, even when Michael Orwitz was at its peak, Caa's annual income was only about 200 million US dollars.

Caa is a partnership system, which means that the 200 million US dollars is not pure profit. Even if it is pure profit, one cent will only be tens of millions of dollars in Michael Orwitz's hands.

This money is equivalent to the annual income of those top celebrities in Caa, or even worse than that of the average person.

It is okay to say that Michael Orwitz is a chess player, and these super stars can only be chess pieces. In this way, it is okay to deceive ignorant outsiders, insiders, especially those in the upper class, who believe in anyone who is foolish.

Back to Harvey Weinstein, he is not even as good as Michael Orwitz

After all, Michael Orwitz was already praised by the media as the "No. 1 in the Hollywood Entrepreneurs Power List"

But in order to win an indecisive client, Michael Orwitz dances a four-way tap dance at the conference table; he will take customers to dinner on the plane;

It is really clear who is the service provider and who is being served

Chess player, chess pieces are just a joke

In addition, this is such a person who was mythical by the media. When Hollywood was the most brilliant, he actually left behind the agency he founded and then went to Disney to be the president of the company.

In the end, Eisner, who was invited to Disney, was kicked out of Disney by Yiwei.

From this, it is seen that the presidents of the Seventh Hollywood presidents are much more attractive and worth fighting for than the Caa, which controls the brokerage rights of many celebrities.

Even Michael Orwitz, let alone Harvey Weinstein

In front of the seven major Hollywood stars, Harvey Weinstein is really a scumbag.

Not to mention this time, even in the era when Harvey Weinstein was in Hollywood and in the Academy Awards ten or twenty years later, he could only make tens of millions of dollars a year.

This is the dilemma of independent films

Even if you win many awards in the movies you shoot, the profits you can earn in the end are still a world of difference from the big-selling commercial blockbusters.

Some of the female stars who Harvey Weinstein harassed and violated are Hollywood big stars

But when those celebrities are harassed and violated, they are still young actors, and when they ask Harvey Weinstein, they are always begging for them.

When these actresses become second-tier or even first-tier, and even enter a 20 million club, you can take a look, give Harvey Weinstein a hundred courage, he dare not provoke him.

Because at that point, he is not inferior to Harvey Weinstein at all, and he even makes more money than him

What's more, even if he wants to harass and infringe on him, he has no chance, because low-cost independent movies can't afford to hire these big-name movie stars.

Even if you buy it for a lot of money, the pay of a person alone can account for a large part of the cost of the entire film production. Anyone who is more normal in his mind will not do anything to others.
