Chapter 838： Fatal accident

Following Harvey Weinstein to the hotel, Kate Beckinsale had some illusions, hoping to see the script Harvey Weinstein said as soon as possible and discuss the heroine.

In the past two years, her career has been too bad. The failure of "Van Helsing" resulted in painful results. Not only did no one dare to use her as the heroine of a commercial production, even the previous successful series of movies "Underworld" was also used by Shahai Entertainment. Called to stop.

If you can win a heavyweight award, even if it is a nomination for a supporting actress, your career will have a turnaround.

Despite Harvey Weinstein's bad reputation, Kate Beckinsale came to the hotel because Harvey Weinstein can indeed be popular.

Besides, how many famous Hollywood producers have a good reputation? Ronan Anderson? Jerry Bruckheimer?

The messy scandals between the former and Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson are everywhere in Hollywood.

The latter, she has played the heroine of "Pearl Harbor" and has personally verified...

But when we arrived at the hotel and got out of the elevator, Kate Beckinsale’s fantasy was instantly disillusioned.

"Sorry, Harvey." Kate Beckinsale stood in front of a suite, looked at Harvey Weinstein who was opening the door by swiping his card, and asked with doubts: "We are talking about work, not in the meeting room. Or the office?"

Harvey Weinstein opened the door and made a please gesture: "The script is here."

Kate Beckinsale hesitated, and finally stepped into the room, Harvey Weinstein smiled and closed the door.

"Sit anywhere." Harvey Weinstein loosened his tie: "Kate, wait for me, I'll change my clothes."

Kate Beckinsale reminded: "I have to go home soon, I better hurry up." She specially emphasized: "Where is the script? Give me the script first."

Harvey Weinstein took the briefcase on the file cabinet in the living room, took out a copy of the script, and handed it to Kate Beckinsale, without saying anything, and went straight into the bedroom.

Kate Beckinsale quickly opened the script and sat on the sofa to read it.

But before one page was finished, the bedroom door opened from the inside, and Harvey Weinstein walked out.

Kate Beckinsale looked up, then was stunned.

Harvey Weinstein wore a bathrobe, and from the open gap of the bathrobe, you could see something with spicy eyes.

At this moment, Kate Beckinsale felt that the food at noon was pouring up.

Harvey Weinstein took a bottle of wine and two glasses from the wine cabinet: "Let’s drink some wine, and I’m tired today. Kate, I’ve heard of Michael Sinti, your massage technique is very good, it will help. I will have a massage."

With a "click", the script in Kate Beckinsale's hands fell to the ground.

How could she not hear such an obvious hint.

Kate Beckinsale wants to escape immediately.

Harvey Weinstein said bluntly: "After today, this heroine is yours. I'm not afraid to tell you that this movie project will be my seed player for the Oscar in the future."

Kate Beckinsale, who was just about to stand up and give her farewell, sat firmly on the sofa at this time, as if she had been given a body magic.

It’s not the first time Kate Beckinsale has encountered this kind of thing in Hollywood for many years, so he settled and said, "Harvey, you are already married."

Many directors and producers are still very concerned about their families.

Harvey Weinstein laughed suddenly: "Don't worry about this, I have an agreement with Georgina, and I can have a one-night stand with anyone during a business trip."

Kate Beckinsale is in a dilemma.

The voice of help suddenly sounded, it was Harvey Weinstein's cell phone ringtone.

"What's the matter?" Harvey Weinstein switched on the phone: "What? A British screenwriter and producer is looking for me? I have a new project, do you think the subject matter is very good? Well... well, let him Wait for ten minutes in the lobby of the hotel."

Kate Beckinsale breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing these words.

Harvey Weinstein went to the bedroom to change clothes. After he came out, he said: "Kate, you take the script back first. Think about it. I'll call you tomorrow."

Kate Beckinsale escaped from the room until he entered the elevator, only to find that his hand had been holding the script firmly.

To answer or not to answer Harvey Weinstein's call tomorrow?

Harvey Weinstein went downstairs, met the British screenwriter and producer named Pete Morgan in the lobby of the hotel, and took a serious look at the script sent by him.

This is based on real events and involves many top figures in the UK. It caused a huge sensation in the world at that time, and naturally has attractive value.

When the filming is done, it will not only make a sensation, but it may also be rewarding at the Oscars.

Harvey Weinstein has been operating movies for many years, and he still has a clearer judgment on the value of the script, but he is not in a hurry. Instead, he hangs on Pete Morgan in order to keep prices down.

Stamford Bridge Stadium, because of going to the team bus to congratulate the victory, Ronan was about to leave, the noisy stadium has gradually quieted down.

The Mercedes-Benz of the British branch of Embassy Pictures parked on the side of the road. Ronan had just opened the door for Anne Hathaway, and the bodyguards scattered around stopped a middle-aged man.

"What's the matter?" Ronan noticed there.

Finch asked a few words through the walkie-talkie and said: "A British producer wants to promote a film project."

Ronan glanced over there, he was a very strange face.

"Mr. Anderson." The accent that came over was indeed like an Englishman: "Can I take you a few minutes?"

This is not a place to talk, Ronan said to Vinci: "Let him follow us to the hotel."

In recent years, the number of people who came to Ronan to sell scripts and projects has increased day by day. As long as conditions permit, Ronan will basically chat with them for a while and look at the scripts.

After all, in this way, I have encountered a movie or TV project with commercial value.

Twenty minutes later, in the lobby lounge of the hotel where he was staying, Ronan met the British producer.

Anne Hathaway has been by Ronan's side, but apart from her curious look, she doesn't interrupt.

The Englishman introduced himself: "Mr. Anderson, this is Andy Harris, a producer, and I have made a movie called "Undercurrent" before."

The producer is not pedantic, and emphasized: "This film is directed by Matthew Casovitz and starring Jean Renault and Vincent Caso."

The name of the director, Ronan has not heard, but the two leading actors are quite famous in Europe. Needless to say, Jean-Renault is the killer who is not too cold.

French actor Vincent Caso is the husband of Monica Bellucci.

Ronan didn't go around in circles, and asked directly: "Mr. Harris, tell me about your project."

Andy Harris quickly took out the script, put it on the table, pushed it to Ronan's side, and said: "This is a script adapted from real events by Pete Morgan and I. It records the impact on Britain and the world in 1997. A big event."

Ronan picked up the script and looked at the cover.

Anne Hathaway also cast a curious look. This is a very simple print script with only one line of letters "the.queen" on the white cover!

Recalling what Andy Harris just said, Anne Hathaway immediately had the association: Is it the one in Buckingham Palace?

But the script is in Ronan's hands, and she can't see the actual content.

In 1997, what was the big event in Britain? Also affect the world?

Thinking of this, Anne Hathaway was surprised. If it is related to the Queen and Buckingham Palace, there is only one answer!

Ronan only read a few pages of the script and knew what the specific description was.

Anyone who pays a little attention to social current affairs news should have heard of the serious car accident in which Diana died in Paris in 1997.

The script describes not the car accident, but the reaction of Diana’s ex-husband’s family after the accident.

Ronan raised his head and looked at Andy Harris: "The subject you chose is very sensitive."

"A little bit." Andy Harris emphasized: "But it's what the public cares about all the time."

Ronan said bluntly: "A film involving politics will be very troublesome."

The partner that Andy Harris wants to find must have a certain amount of investment and production power, as well as strong distribution capabilities.

Therefore, the British company was directly passed by him.

After waiting for a suitable film company owner, how could Andy Harris give up easily.

"Actually, there will be no trouble." He said: "I just want to show the strong emotional exchanges between the various people in the ex-husband's family within a week after Diana's death. Mr. Anderson, you should have heard that your Majesty is very concerned and never accepts Any media interview. The people don’t know about their beloved queen Especially after the 1997 incident, the alienation she showed is even more incomprehensible. Restore your Majesty in the environment of this particular period His life and troubles are a very meaningful thing."

Ronan asked, "Do you know what happened?"

Andy Harris considered it and did not choose to lie, but told some facts: "Because of the involvement of many real figures in the royal family, in order to be realistic and avoid legal disputes, we cannot reproduce the history as it is. But the movie does not Is it to reprocess art based on certain facts?"

Ronan knows that there may be a huge market for such a movie consuming the dead and the royal family, and he has certain interest and concerns.

"If the project is successful." He asked directly: "What about the royal family putting pressure on the crew?"

Andy Harris is confident: "Pitt and I did a lot of preparation before writing the script, including talking to members of the royal family and people familiar with Downing Street, referring to a large number of interviews, in-depth research, and careful and credible sources He also consulted with lawyers on every detail to ensure that all the plots are true, credible, well-documented, and will not invite protests and dissatisfaction from the royal family.
