No girl can always be eighteen, but there are always eighteen girls, and Cate Blanchett has always understood that. Therefore, she never imagined that she could really have any feelings with Wayne, and her head remained sober all the time.

Everything is a Chi Luoluo transaction, which means that he must obtain the greatest generosity of the transaction object within the possible range. At least at this time, she desperately needs this man to support her, because some opportunities may be missed if they are missed.

Basically every year in North America, large-scale entertainment media will do some statistics. Among them, the most interesting to ordinary people is undoubtedly the most **** woman in the hearts of the people, and the men who most want to date in the hearts of the people.

In recent years, Wayne Greenberg, a legendary name in Hollywood, has frequently become one of the top men in North America that girls want to date. He has a dreamlike career, the latest synonym for the American dream, not only is his earning power second to none, but he also has a strong body and a tough and handsome face.

According to statistics released by a number of entertainment tabloids, the name Wayne Greenberg has not left in recent years, and the top three girls in North America most want one-night stands.

Whether it is the person that North American women want to date the most, or the person that North American women want to have a one-night stand with, his name basically never falls out of the top three. This has something to do with Warner Bros. and Time Warner, who have gone to great lengths to manage his personal image, and has something to do with the ongoing debate in the media.

No matter in which era, celebrities who can be widely discussed by ordinary people undoubtedly carry some controversy. The controversy about Wayne comes from the story between him and Hollywood female stars, and even the group of movie fans as far away as Europe knows that this epoch-making director is an out-and-out playboy.

The term "playboy" seems to have an indeterminate interpretation by nature. Some people think that he doesn't respect women at all, and wants to play with women's emotions. Some people think that he should be like this, and his life and work status are enviable.

However, when the media immediately interviewed girls on the side of the road on this issue on the streets of North America, the statistics of the harvest were quite surprising.

More than 85 percent of women interviewed among 16- to 45-year-old women of all races said they wanted to date Wayne, and more than 50 percent said they would never say no to Wayne. Grace's overnight invitation.

Even this seemingly perfect man has been widely reported by the media that he likes to abuse women, but this has never changed.

The girl interviewed by the entertainment media only learned about this man through public reports and movies. But Cate Blanchett, who is sitting next to the man at this time, needs to know more in Hollywood.

She knew very well that this was a charismatic villain. Strong personal worth, huge reputation in the circle, the temperament of a successful person that has been successfully created, the body and face that naturally make women feel good, and most importantly, this man has the top power in the circle.

So, she kept reminding herself that this was just a fair deal. You must not have any other feelings on the other side. Once the trading balance is added to the feelings that should not appear, it is destined to ruin your entire life.

That's right, Cate Blanchett did have fantasies about what it would be like to be the mistress of this manor. It's a pity that those things only exist in fantasy, at least for now, she doesn't believe that any woman can do it, even her "best friend" Naomi Watts.

Don't be silly, just when she came under the awning, the man lying on the reclining chair opened his eyes and saw his emotions at first glance, as if he was looking at a fresh and interesting toy, or as if he was looking at A pet that interests men.

From the moment she noticed the other person's eyes, she kept ringing alarm bells in her heart, reminding herself that she must not recognize her position. A man's sweet words can be said without blush even if it is another beautiful girl who is interested in him, although the temptation of these sweet words can easily make people dizzy.

"Kate, your beauty is overwhelming the sunshine in Los Angeles."

Leaning on the reclining chair, Wayne looked up and down the woman he hadn't seen in a while. The other party is tall enough, and she is at her best age now, and her whole body seems to be glowing white. "Well, girl, you are so hot today that people are reluctant to look away."

I have to admit that European and American women's youth shelf life is not very long, but the more short-lived beauty, the more attractive they are when they are young. Blonde hair, delicate face, and long white and straight legs are almost adjectives that represent **** and beautiful girls, and they all apply to Cate Blanchett at this time.

Due to the temperature in Los Angeles, today she is just a pair of simple denim hot pants and a fitted white t-shirt, basically showing her body advantage to the fullest.

Especially when she squeezed Wayne and crossed her legs to sit on the reclining chair, the two long white luminous legs firmly attracted the man's attention for a while.

This picture made him wonder in his heart, as if a woman from Australia had scary white skin? Naomi Watts is like this, and now Cate Blanchett is like this. The most famous one should be Nicole Kidman. That Mrs. Cruise, even after the peak of her appearance, is still white. amazing.

"Haney, the Weinstein brothers are here."

Pulling out a bottle of beer from the ice bucket beside the reclining chair, Cate Blanchett raised her head and took a few sips. The cold liquid seemed to bring back the soul. But before she could put down the beer bottle, she rolled her eyes at the man and reminded in a low voice.

"uh-huh......"

As soon as the woman's voice fell, the two brothers, who were not too different in size, appeared under the awning. Harvey Weinstein had a warm smile on his face, ignoring Wayne's hand on the woman's thigh, and said hello.

"Congratulations, Wayne, the third film of The Matrix did an amazing job at the box office."

"thanks."

Waving at the two brothers, Wayne also sat up cross-legged from the reclining chair with a warm smile on his face. He pointed to the reclining chair and ice bucket next to him and said, "Harvey, Bob, sit down and talk. What the **** did you think of coming to me in this **** weather in Los Angeles?"

"Harvey wants to talk to you about Shakespeare in Love."

Cate Blanchett, who was on the side, interjected. Seeing the man's gaze turned to her, she shrugged and gestured to the beer bottle in her hand.

"Ha, Shakespeare in Love..." Wayne nodded lightly.

This film, Greenberg Studio holds half of the investment. Although the production cost is not high, the two parties only invested a little more than 20 million in total, but as long as the film works well, it can still make a lot of money.

To put it more clearly, any film that can benefit from the Oscars can make a lot of money for investors. After all, the Oscars of this era have not faded away, and they are still the most valuable awards in the world.

"It's not the first time we've worked together, so I'll just say it straight, Wayne."

The reason why the two brothers waited for Cate Blanchett to come together was to let this woman, under the condition of common interests, help out. And what he said was not the first time to cooperate, both sides knew what was going on.

To this day, "Blair Witch" is still scolded by fans, but basically all the blame has been taken by Harvey Weinstein.

Looking at his partner sitting cross-legged on the reclining chair, he simply said directly: "The post-production work on Shakespeare in Love is about to end, you know my plan, I'm going to conduct a few rounds of internal test screenings, and a large number of film critics and filmmakers will be invited. Relevant media, to build momentum for the awards season in advance. But..."

"But, the most important point has not yet been determined, Wayne." Speaking of this, he paused a little, glanced at Cate Blanchett without a trace, and continued: "Shakespeare in Love "Need a publisher, a distribution platform with enough influence!"

Hearing about the issue of the release of "Shakespeare in Love", Wayne was stunned for a moment, and looked at the two brothers in confusion. "Miramax's North American distribution network, in my impression, should be second to none among medium-sized film companies?"

Miramax started out by slowly building its own North American distribution network, and then releasing low-cost genre films, buying films at low prices at overseas film festivals, and then introducing North American distribution to make money. In fact, not only Miramax does this, but many medium-sized film companies do it, but Miramax does it well enough.

The water in here is very deep. As long as it is related to the release of the movie, the water is very deep. Even today's Wayne still can't understand the many twists and turns in it.

"Harvey, are you really willing to give up this part of your interests?" He picked up cigarettes and fire from the table, tilted his head, and under the cover of lighting a cigarette, he whispered: "Listen, although I am in the "Sarah" "Shakespeare in Love" accounted for half of the investment, but it's not unreasonable, if Miramax wants to release "Shakespeare in Love", I will not have any disagreement."

As we all know, the North American film industry, or Hollywood as a whole, can only occupy the upstream industry with distribution companies, and it is the distribution companies that really make money.

As he said, he did invest half of "Shakespeare in Love", and of course he also enjoyed half of the movie's income. But these benefits, according to Hollywood rules, are to wait for the deduction of film distribution costs before investors are eligible to share.

This film can be said to be completely prepared, shot and produced by Miramax. Wayne has always been in the state of a hands-off shopkeeper, so he never thought that the other party would give up the distribution rights with huge profits.

"Our goal is awards season, Wayne."

Without any hesitation, Harvey Weinstein stretched out a thick finger, tapped back and forth between the two, and said happily: "Shakespeare in Love can only make you gain something in the awards season. My interests are maximized. Therefore, "Shakespeare in Love" needs a big platform, a big platform that Miramax can't match at all!"

Breathing out a cloud of green smoke, Wayne asked with a smile, "Warner Bros?"

"Yes."

One point that no one can ignore is that after the rapid development of Warner Bros. in the past few years, the biggest improvement is not the revenue figures that top Hollywood, but the perfect distribution network that has been built rapidly around the world.

Whether it is online, the treatment obtained by major theater companies in North America, and the contact with theater companies in hundreds of overseas countries and regions. Still offline, gradually acquiring shares in more film-peripheral factories, and contracts with various authorized merchandisers, Warner Bros. is developing at an astonishing speed.

After several times throughout Hollywood, the only distribution company that dares to say that the offline distribution company can stabilize Warner Bros. is only Walt Disney after decades of development.

To a certain extent, the biggest credit here is Bruce Rosenblum. As the distribution director of Warner Bros., he has continuously improved the global distribution network for several years, and Warner Bros. offices have begun to appear in some overseas remote areas.

There is no way. To maximize the profitability of superhero movies, you must not only have your own online and offline distribution network, but also constantly build, connect, and communicate with more platforms. Only in this way can the interests of Warner Bros. maximize. Therefore, the first driving force for the company to move forward is always a huge benefit.

"Harvey, I can explain it to you directly."

Wayne pointed to the ice bucket beside him, and Cate Blanchett understood and quickly pulled out a bottle of beer and handed it to him. He raised his head and drank a few gulps before he lightly lit it on the reclining chair with his fingers between the cigarettes, and continued seriously:

"Warner Bros.'s distribution network is indeed large and complete, but the films produced by Warner Bros. itself, as well as the films produced by its subsidiaries, have packed all the distribution slots. And this is related to the company's annual revenue plan. , basically no changes will occur once made.

And one more important point, Harvey. Of the six major distribution networks, none of them are cheap. "

"That's why I came to you."

Harvey Weinstein obviously thought of this, and his meaning was quite straightforward, using Wayne's special relationship with Warner Bros. to ask for a more normal distribution agency fee in the industry.

In fact, the core of the commercial operation of Hollywood movies is hairstyle and promotion. Although the literal translation means distribution, the operating rules of Hollywood include distribution and promotion.

This is the core operating system of Hollywood. If you want to explain it simply, you can divide the Hollywood business world into three levels.

On the first floor, at the top of the Hollywood business are the six major Hollywood giants. When people walk into the theater to buy tickets to watch movies, the first thing that catches their eyes is the title animation of these six distribution companies.

The second layer, the scale and influence of the middle, that is to say, it is second only to the six major companies in production and distribution, which is often referred to as a medium-sized film company.

However, with the development of the times, the number of intermediate tiers with a complete distribution network in North America is actually very rare. For example, the typical Miramax, New Line Cinema, DreamWorks in the later period, etc., let alone the overseas distribution network, North America has just done a relatively good job, and will be squeezed and acquired by the six major universities.

Of course, the third layer, that is, the bottom layer, is independent, which generally distributes those niche independent films in the eyes of people. It is said here that they are the lowest level in Hollywood, and they are just simply making an order of magnitude differentiation. The actual situation is much more troublesome than rough grading.

It can also be understood in this way that the main purpose of the six major Hollywood companies, including their subsidiaries with distribution capabilities, and the medium-sized companies with hair-styling capabilities in Hollywood, is to distribute profit-oriented films that cater to public tastes.

Independent films, on the other hand, focus more on social attributes, disadvantaged groups, and other films that convey emotions to the audience from the director's perspective. In North America, this type of film also has its own exclusive theater, such as the American artist chain theater, which not only shows commercial films, but also shows various independent art films.

The problem is here. Everyone knows that in the film industry, there must not be only commercial films that cater to the public's taste. To put it bluntly, the art of film must have literary films that represent artistic tastes.

From the point of view of art, there is no one who is higher and who is lower, but the universal value is money, so there is a huge gap in status.

In fact, the entire Hollywood has always been at the top, and it also constitutes the huge film industry, that is, distribution. Without a distribution system, even if the production capacity of content production is excellent, it is still a medium-sized film company, such as DreamWorks, which is about to enter its glory period.

There has always been a subtext in Hollywood that it is the distribution company that makes money. Note that the distribution company mentioned here is not a film company in a broad sense. If you look closely, you can find that the film company that produces content has a weak ability to resist risks.

The emergence of a popular movie may make a movie company make money, but a big investment can also make a large movie company go bankrupt and restructure directly. But these problems and risks have nothing to do with the distribution company at all. Even if the film company loses the bottom line, they will still make money. It is nothing more than the difference between more and less.

"I'll be on the phone with Bruce Rosenblum."

After careful consideration for a while, Wayne looked at Harvey Weinstein, and said slowly: "For the rest, you go to Warner Bros. and talk to him, Harvey, I believe it is for my sake, Warner Bros. distribution department. A relatively reasonable distribution agency fee will be given. However, I have to remind you!"

Wayne unceremoniously stretched out his fingers holding the cigarette, and tapped Harvey Weinstein's fat face in the air. "I don't care about the rest, but I want to remind you that according to the Hollywood distribution rules, the film rights of Shakespeare in Love..."

Unexpectedly, the big fat man didn't hesitate at all, UU reading nodded directly. "Trust me, I'll talk to Warner Bros about this."

According to Hollywood's distribution rules, generally speaking, film rights will fall into the hands of the distribution company, and this is obviously not in line with Harvey Weinstein's interests, and it is also in conflict with Wayne's interests.

However, he believed in the ability of this big fat man. If he remembered correctly, this "Shakespeare in Love" should be for the same reason. The distributor in Wayne's memory is Universal Pictures. But it did not affect the award-winning of "Shakespeare in Love", nor did it affect the subsequent copyright operation, using the blessing of Oscar to make money.

"There is one more important thing!"

Seeing that the distribution platform for "Shakespeare in Love" was settled, Harvey Weinstein observed Wayne's face and saw that he was in a good mood, so he slowly opened his mouth while considering it.

And Cate Blanchett, who was sitting next to Wayne, also tensed up at this moment, with an indescribable complexity in her eyes, staring at the man beside her. This is the purpose of coming to the manor together, and it is also the reason why she is willing to come with these two brothers.

"Wayne, if you want to replicate your success in The Departed, you will have to pay a lot of money for prize money..."

F**k, Jin Yuan Raiders will of course have to spend money. With a faint smile on his lips, Wayne turned to look at Cate Blanchett and secretly uttered a foul language in his heart. "It seems that this **** came with them to ask Laozi for money?"
