Chapter 133 Kill Hollywood's Number One Obscene! (2, Ask For Automatic Subscription)
The early morning sunlight shines into the room through the curtains, which is slightly dazzling, but very warm.
Shen Fei slowly opened his eyes, looked at the messy clothes on the ground, and recalled what happened last night.
In fact, there is no need to recall. Although they drank a lot of wine, both of them were actually sober.
Everything is just the result of things coming naturally~.
"You're awake, honey."
Scarlett Johansson's voice sounded. She was wearing pajamas, standing at the window, looking at the busy traffic below the hotel.
"Scarlett, why are you so early?"
Shen Fei was a little surprised.
"got used to."
Scarlett Johansson smiled and then asked Shen Fei: "Do you mind if I smoke?"
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Fei shrugged.
Scarlett Johansson turned around and walked to her clothes, took out a box of women's cigarettes from her bag, took out one and lit it for herself.
"Thank you, Shen."
Scarlett Johansson smiled and said to Shen Fei: "You gave me a pleasant night."
Shen Fei laughed when he heard this.
to be honest.
He likes this expression very much.
"You haven't told me why you showed up at my door that day.
Shen Fei looked at Scarlett Johansson and asked curiously.
"Nothing, I escaped.
Scarlett Johansson said slowly: "I went to an interview, and the other party made me drink a lot. I felt something was wrong, so I ran away."
Shen Fei frowned suddenly.
"who?"
Looking at Scarlett Johansson, Shen Fei said slowly: "Since the other party dares to do this, he must be a very famous producer who is not afraid of your revenge."
"Yes."
Scarlett Johansson smiled bitterly and said: "You probably don't know him, his name is Harvey Weinstein."
????
????
Shen Fei was stunned.
Needless to say, he actually knew this person.
This guy is the most famous independent power producer in the history of Hollywood, and he is also the most famous criminal.
He was sentenced to twenty-three years in prison. Among the truths exposed by the New York Times, Harvey Weinstein was accused of assaulting and harassing multiple women over the past three decades.
In fact, after the New York Times report, many women, including Kate Winslet, Charlize Theron and others, accused him of being a beast with a face and a heart.
The Weinstein sexual assault case has the weight of a nuclear bomb in the history of Hollywood and the history of women’s struggles. This is not only because of the long time he committed the crime, the heinousness of his crimes, and the huge number of victims, but also because of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual assault case. Earnstein himself is an absolute boss in the history of Hollywood. He and his brother Bob Weinstein built an entire business empire single-handedly, from the children of unknown traders in New York's diamond district to the top of Hollywood's Vanity Fair. , he also brought about changes in the entire independent film culture and even rewritten the rules of the game in Hollywood.
The reason why he was able to violate hundreds of women and make them afraid to speak out, and even did not realize that they were violated at the time, is largely related to the power he holds.
His ability to create film myths from scratch, and his aggressiveness and aggressiveness that allowed independent directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Steven Soderbergh to enter the market [to some extent, is also consistent with his oppressive attitude towards women] Both sides.
Behind him, there is not only the rise of Hollywood independent films, but also the oppression structure of women by the patriarchal empire, and they are all embedded in the power order of the entire Hollywood and even American culture.
In Shen Fei's impression, Harvey Weinstein is very good at packaging movies. This guy likes to compose different versions of movies through various editing methods.
This method of using deceptive methods to "save" films has almost become Harvey's business rule. "In the future, he will package countless films into the kind that the audience will love to watch, accept, and like." Film.
But it has to be admitted that when foreign language films did not dominate the mainstream in Hollywood, Harvey was a lover of foreign language films. "Ju Dou", "Farewell My Concubine" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" were all He bought the rights.
It was he who for the first time initiated the use of a large amount of manpower to lobby for awards for independent films and foreign language films, and also paved the way for Weinstein's subsequent Oscar journey.
This contradiction that both promotes and hurts is not only inherent in his film career, but also has the same origin as the subsequent history of sexual assault.
An important turning point for Miramax was "Sex, Lies, and Videotape." At Sundance that year, Steven Soderbergh became a blockbuster with this movie, but he did not win a single award. This also made many The film-buying companies are hesitant.
However, Harvey spent a million dollars to buy the movie with an almost crazy attitude. This behavior was ridiculed by many film producers at the time. Even Soderbergh himself did not believe that Harvey was serious. They also made many excessive additional requests to test whether he was cheating, but Harvey agreed to them one by one.
"Sex, Lies and Videotape", which was snubbed by Sundance, topped the Palme d'Or that year, even beating Spike Season's "The Right Thing."
When Soderbergh, who had no idea he would win the award, received the trophy from Jane Fonda, he felt "like a door opened, and all the voices in the world came out at once." He felt as if he had done it. "Three hours of John Lennon", he was so dazed that he even forgot the trophy on his seat when he left.
The shock of Soderbergh shows the scarcity of young people and independent films in the art hall, and also marks the turn of the aesthetic style of the independent film movement.
Harvey is not only the discoverer of this youth and independence, but also the promoter of this aesthetic turn.
But his bigger impetus was to use his packaging skills to promote "Sex, Lies and Videotape" to the world. He even placed commercials on TV for the first time and adopted radial distribution for the film. In such a way that even the most remote cities in the United States screened the film.
In the end, the film's global revenue exceeded 50 million U.S. dollars. While becoming a bible for a generation of movie fans, it also allowed Miramax to gradually gain a seat in Hollywood from a small workshop.
Afterwards, their "The Piano Lesson" and "Farewell My Concubine" shared the Palme d'Or in Cannes, and even won ten Oscar nominations. They were all in the limelight for a while, but the storm that really changed the entire independent film industry was yet to come.
Yes, I'm talking about "Pulp Fiction".
In "Reservoir Dogs" before, Harvey had already noticed Quentin Tarantino, who was unknown at the time. The process of investing in "Pulp Fiction" was like a legend. Harvey read Quentin's script on the plane, I decided to buy it before I even finished reading it and put it up for auction: "Sign the agreement, we want it."
He took "Pulp Fiction" and Tarantino Quentin to Cannes, and then came the historic moment, "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or. Because of this cooperation, the relationship between Quentin and the Weinstein brothers was so good that they were like glue. In the words of the media at the time, Quentin was not only Weinstein’s third brother, but also their son!
Harvey has always used commercial methods to promote his films. At that time, "Pulp Fiction" was screened in 1,100 theaters in the United States at the same time. Before that, no independent film could achieve such a large-scale spread. Released, it even beat Stallone's "Cannonball Expert", which was released at the same time, and finally won a box office of 210 million worldwide. This is also the first independent film with a box office of over 100 million.
At this point, the status of the Weinstein brothers and Miramax was officially established, and they became the kings of the independent film industry.
From this time on, he began to gradually indulge himself, that is, he began to attack those actresses.
Since then, Weinstein Pictures has taken one step at a time, and "The Reader" won the Oscar for Best Actress.
A strong relationship with Quentin led them to Inglorious Basterds.
"The King's Speech" won the Weinstein Films' first Oscar for best picture.
And in these years, Harvey's lobbying skills have become stronger. In the year of "Lifeline Behind the Dark Clouds", Jennifer Lawrence's actress can be attributed to the lobbying established by Harvey from the Miramax era. With his skills and celebrity connections, Harvey is almost omnipotent in the powerful empire of Hollywood.
But if anyone still remembers, when Kate Winslet won the Best Actress that year, she did not thank Weinstein.
But Shen Fei didn't expect that even Scarlett Johansson would almost suffer at his hands.
Standing up and walking to Scarlett Johansson, Shen Fei smiled: "Do you need me to help you?"
"you?"
Scarlett Johansson was a little surprised.
She knew that Shen Fei was a businessman and should have a lot of money, but she didn't think that Shen Fei could help her.
In the Hollywood circle, Harvey Weinstein's influence is unimaginable to outsiders.
"yes."
Shen Fei laughed and shrugged: "I have a little money, and I know a few friends. For them, Harvey Weinstein has some influence, but it's not limited to that."
"Stop it, you don't understand, Shen, that guy Harvey has a lot of influence in Hollywood."
Scarlett Johansson said: "I know you do it for my own good, but I don't want to get you into trouble.
She has a very good impression of Shen Fei and really doesn’t want Shen Fei to have a grudge against a Hollywood boss like Harvey Weinstein because of her.
Shen Fei suddenly laughed.
to be honest.
He really didn't expect Scarlett Johansson to think about herself so much.
Originally they thought they were in love, but looking at it now, Shen Fei is willing to maintain a long-term pure physical relationship with her.
Think here.
Shen Fei turned around and picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Mr. Shen, what's the matter?"
On the other side of the phone, a voice rang.
"Mr. Howard, please do me a favor and tell Harvey Weinstein that Scarlett Johansson is mine. If he continues to harass my friends, then don't blame me for being rude. Guess if I For $10 million, will someone come into his office with a gun and kill him?"
Shen Fei said lightly.
Damn it!
!!!!
Scarlett Johansson was dumbfounded when she heard Shen Fei's words.
This Nima!
What is this operation?
Howard on the phone was also stunned, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, my dear employer, what are you kidding, America is a safe country, how could something like this happen? It has nothing to do with you, please don't talk nonsense
0…ask for flowers…………
Shen Fei laughed in satisfaction: "Haha, okay, then thank you."
"You are too kind. With five million dollars in legal fees every year, you will know what is worth it."
Howard said frankly.
To put it bluntly, you get what you pay for.
Shen Fei pays him five million U.S. dollars every year as legal fees. If he can't help Shen Fei settle this small matter, there will be a lot of gold medal lawyers waiting to do this law
Consultant's.
Putting down the phone, Shen Fei looked at Scarlett Johansson: "Look, it's resolved."
"No, Shen, you, what are you going to do?"
Scarlett Johansson was a little surprised.
"It's nothing, just teach that Mr. Weinstein a lesson."
Shen Fei said lightly.
This is the truth.
As powerful as Harvey Weinstein is, it's only in Hollywood.
The so-called Hollywood celebrities are, at best, just a group of star entertainers.
Compared with the real capital and the super rich, they are nothing.
As a gold medal barrister, Howard has a hundred ways to make Harvey Weinstein quit.
As for the fight between Harvey Weinstein and Shen Fei?
A super rich man worth billions of dollars, a top independent producer in American Hollywood.
Which is more important, smart people don't have to make a choice.
In the next few days, Shen Fei asked Scarlett Johansson to accompany him and wandered around Caiguo.
And Howard quickly passed the news to Harvey Weinstein.
......0
certainly.
The method he used was simple and rude, and he directly led people to find Harvey Weinstein, and clearly warned Harvey Weinstein that if he did not want to offend a man with a net worth of billions of dollars
Upstarts on Wall Street, better stay away from Scarlett Johansson.
Otherwise, no one knows what will happen to the Weinstein Company.
Harvey Weinstein was dumbfounded.
He never dreamed that he just wanted to play around with Scarlett Johansson, and how he would provoke a billionaire.
and.
Even one of the co-founders of the largest law firm in the United States appeared in front of him.
He knew all too well how influential these lawyers were.
Don't look at yourself in Hollywood, but in front of these people, it's not enough to look at.
"Mr. Howard, I'm sorry, I don't know the relationship between Miss Scarlett and your employer, and I apologize for my recklessness."
Harvey Weinstein faced Howard, groveling like a servant.
no way.
Before he became a lawyer, Howard was a prosecutor and a congressman.
According to rumors, he even has relations with some politicians and financial groups.
Such a person cannot be offended by Harvey Weinstein.
"My employer has warned you that if you try to get involved with Miss Johnson again, don't blame us for being rude.
Howard looked at Harvey Weinstein coldly and said.
After saying this.
He turned and walked out.
After getting in the car, Howard told his assistants: "Send someone to investigate what this Harvey Weinstein has done, and then release it to the media. Since this guy wants to die, then we will help him."
"OK."
The assistant quickly nodded in agreement.
For them, this kind of thing doesn't need to waste any effort.
Someone like Harvey Weinstein is nothing.
Shen Fei naturally didn't know this, he stayed in the United States for another two days, and then bid farewell to Scarlett Johansson.
After all, the time to come out this time is not short, and it seems that it will be the middle of May, and Shen Fei still has things to go back to deal with.
Although Ruan Ruanxiang is very comfortable, and Widow sister's skills are also good, but after all, we can't delay the business.
After calling that guy Lin Yuan, Shen Fei boarded the plane back home.
"I don't know what's going on in the country."
Shen Fei sat on the plane, muttering to himself.
During the time he left the country, Wanli Technology's Weibo has been officially launched, and through the drainage of the portal website Sohu, according to Ye Qinglian, there are already
There are many users.
certainly.
This also has something to do with Shen Fei making the contracted artists and directors of Wanli Film and Television register on Weibo one after another.
After all, many of them have their own fans, and the existence of these fans has helped the publicity of Weibo.
But Shen Fei also understands that this is just the beginning, and the only way to make Weibo famous is to watch the Olympics.
Sohu has the exclusive rights to broadcast the Olympic Games, and Shen Fei also discussed with Ye Qinglian to ask Weibo to send bonuses to those Olympic champions and medal winners to invite them to register on Weibo.
