Chapter 877

Happiness lies in misfortune, and misfortune lies in happiness; Fortune and misfortune depend on each other.

Bob Weinstein took two deep breaths. His mind was still a little agitated and disordered, but he calmed down a little; Then, I seriously recalled the whole incident, and I went back and forth, but still couldn't find a clear idea. How did it come to this stage?

In the past 48 hours, the discussion of "crazy love" has been on the rise, and the sales of "Don Quixote" have burst out with amazing energy; What's more, it is highly praised and has outstanding reputation.

The discussion of "lanli hall" is getting hotter and hotter, and the speed of jumping to the top shows an irresistible posture. It has killed a bloody road in the noise of the award season.

At this time, less than two weeks away from the Oscars, the major public relations centers of the academy have come to an end one after another. Now there are only the American directors' Union award, the American producers' Guild Award, the Los Angeles Film Critics' Association Award and several other film critics' Association Awards.

In other words, the award season has entered the final sprint stage, the leading edge has been basically determined, and the possibility of turnover is gradually decreasing“ "Artist" has caught up with "Hugo", "posterity" and "midnight Paris". The next two weeks will be the final battle of bayonet.

But now, the "Langley hall" has sprung up, and the momentum is appalling.

As the industry's top deal in the awards season, the Weinstein brothers have a lot of contacts and tentacles. They can already smell the quiet change of wind direction in the industry.

In fact, Hollywood is not only a vanity fair, but also a microcosm of society. The influence of "hype door" is the same.

Before that, the negative rumors surrounding lanli had achieved excellent results, such as malicious speculation, unshakable means, false reputation, false and cunning. Such a negative image triggered the chain effect of word-of-mouth collapse, and then led to the result that the competitiveness gradually fell behind in the award season. Even the Silver Bear award at the Berlin Film Festival didn't help.

But now, the facts have been clarified and the charges have been cleared. Under the compensation of guilt and embarrassment, subconsciously, people's positive feelings for lanli began to multiply; In particular, the support of a group of friends in the same industry will have a better effect, and even make others selectively forget some negative impressions, and truly produce a more intimate and positive image.

So, a blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise. Bob didn't expect this to happen; It is estimated that Cornell, Langley and other parties did not expect it.

Of course, Hollywood is still calm, and it seems that it has not been affected at all; But the surging undercurrent, but along the wind came the breath, like a beast's intuitive touch, Weinstein brothers noticed in advance.

The question is, should they worry? Jean Dujardin and George Clooney have a solid partnership. Should they cut corners? At present, the "artists" have accumulated enough advantages. Is lanli enough to pose a threat?

Calm thinking, but still not the door. I can't imagine that after thousands of twists and turns and ups and downs, things are moving towards a direction that is completely unknown and beyond control. Now the "speculation door" has obviously completely deviated from the predetermined track. This made Bob have a little doubt: was it a wrong decision that they chose to promote the negative news?

But, the thought is just the head just, immediately be cut off. Regret, not only can not solve the problem, but also can make things worse. The priority is, what should they do?

Looking up, Bob looked at his brother, Harvey Weinstein, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

Among the Weinstein brothers, Harvey is in charge of the film industry and Bob is in charge of the television industry; But in fact, Harvey is decisive, controlling and strong in character. Among the two brothers, he is responsible for making decisions and negotiating, while Bob is responsible for behind the scenes affairs, which is more of an auxiliary position.

At this time, Harvey raised his legs, his right elbow supported the armrest of the sofa, his palm supported his chin, and his short and thick fingers were slowly whirling; The drooping eyelids block the light from the bottom of the eyes. No one can judge, but the frown reveals the state of deep thinking.

"Harvey." Bob said, but Harvey didn't move. He still looked down, and Bob didn't mind. Then he said, "I think we should hold still."

"Jean and George have obvious advantages now, so there is no need to operate unnecessarily; That guy is still too young after all. This year's momentum is more about pity and sympathy. He needs to polish it for a few more years, at least until he is 28 or 29 years old. So, it's not worth worrying about at all. " Bob came out with his own ideas.

new problems crop up unexpectedly. This is Bob's only opinion. Any move now is unnecessary. Only two weeks from the Oscars, according to this process, the biggest winner of this year's award season is still Weinstein pictures.

Harvey raised his eyes, and there was no cover for his fierce anger. "So, you mean, he insulted me once in Sundance, and now he insulted me again in Hollywood. The second time, he's already been wild in our territory, should I swallow it?" The tight voice revealed his fury.

"Harvey, I mean..." Bob had to explain, "now that guy's overall momentum is positive. If he acts rashly at this moment, it will backfire and trigger other people's rebellious psychology. What should we do? What's more... "

Moreover, in this year's five best actor candidate works, simply from the strength, lanli's "crazy love" is indeed the most solid, the best and the best; The harvest of affirmation and praise is also the most.

But Bob hesitated for a moment and swallowed it after all.

"What more?" Harvey's eyes were sharp. He patted the armrest of the sofa and yelled, "Bob, you're looking at me. What's more?"

In the face of him is a silence, but Harvey's anger is still unable to quell, "let me tell you, Hollywood, this is my territory! That suckling kid, don't think that he has already established his foothold after playing in several art movies. Here, I'm the one who counts. Believe, I just need to speak out, he will disappear completely! It happened once in Sundance. That's enough. I will never allow it to happen again! Absolutely not

Standing up, Harvey overturned the table in front of him and let out all his anger.

Harvey, who has been in Hollywood for more than 20 years, is powerful and has only one hand to cover the sky, and Harvey, who is about to shake his feet in Hollywood. Just the name "Harvey Weinstein" represents half of Hollywood. Now, he has encountered such humiliation in his own territory?

And, again, twice! Once in Sundance! Award season once! From the same work, the same actor! It's not just a shame, it's even a slave imprint on the name Harvey Weinstein! He won't allow it! absolutely!

Breathing heavily, the anger in his chest still couldn't be calmed down. Harvey kicked the sofa next to him heavily, then lifted the whiskey bottle next to him and smashed his hand against the wall“ Bang, the amber liquor exploded a firework and flowed down slowly.

Anger, that's a little bit of relief.

Harvey spat hard. "Since he wants the game, let it begin. College public relations, when I was playing with those judges, he was still playing with mud in kindergarten! "

Bob opened his mouth and tried to persuade him again. The words in his chest were gurgling, but he was still unable to say them. Because Harvey has started to arrange for himself, first the media, then the party, then the internal audition, and then the Film Critics Association Awards

"Bob!" Harvey didn't get a response and yelled, "are you listening? We still have a lot of work to do. You should know that two weeks is too much for the award season. Now, that boy had better stay in New York and don't come to Los Angeles easily, otherwise, I will let him know what is called real college public relations. "

There was a deep breath, but there was no movement on the surface. Bob nodded, "yes, I'm listening."

The awarding season is full of uncertainties and variables, because the public relations of the college seeks the hearts of the people, which is the most unpredictable accident. Even the Weinstein brothers, they can only "do their best and listen to fate", and all the results can only be revealed on the night of the award ceremony.

But now, the Weinstein brothers are trying their best to be perfect. Just like last year, the "King's speech" at the top of the Oscars almost came naturally without any suspense, and the "social network" didn't even have a chance that night.

As for Lan Li, he disappeared from the news.

The noise of the media, the sensation of the Internet, the ripple of the award season... The whole North American continent is warmly discussing "hype gate", the discussion of "Langley hall", and the discussion of the truth, but the real protagonist has completely disappeared, there is no sound, no movement, and no response, just like the vast snow plain, the silence is quietly diffused.

After Mr. and Mrs. cross clarified the truth, Mount Sinai Hospital provided evidence, and the "Entertainment Weekly" lie was exposed, people all hope to interview the feelings of the person concerned at the first time, to see the mood and feelings after the injustice was cleared up.

But, No.

Lanli disappeared, not only did he not give an interview or make a statement; And even the trace disappeared completely, it seems that he has left the North American continent, and no one can find his trace. Andy Rogers and Roy rockery became the targets of people's pursuit and interception, but both of them also said that they did not know the whereabouts and condition of Langley.

It's as if all the trouble, all the discussion and all the excitement have nothing to do with him.
