511 - Oscar

Xinyi Film and Wayne was the last time he paid attention to Xinyi Film and was when the film "Seven Deadly Sins" was released. According to the information he learned at that time, "Seven Deadly Sins" did make a lifelong increase for Xinyi Film, but it did not change much to the actual business difficulties encountered.

The situation is very simple. Most of the benefits obtained in "The Seven Deadly Sins" were taken away by the publisher Warner Bros. In the end, not many of them fell into the hands of Xinyi Film.

Logically speaking, given the operating conditions of Xinyi Film at that time, if the company did not continue to sell the popular videos, it would only be a matter of time before the company was completely sold to Warner Bros.

Nina followed Wayne, and saw that he just nodded slightly, saying that she knew and had no other special expression, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be said that since Wayne was a small person at first, the assistant lady has followed him. She has a very thorough understanding of this big boy from the oldest to the mature man now.

This man is actually very able to endure loneliness. In order to pursue success, he can tolerate all kinds of criticism and arguments, and can also smile at the gossip tabloids who have been trying to splash dirty water on him. However, when certain issues involve their parents, this man will not endure at all. Nina is more clear than anyone about how much he loves his parents.

No one knows his childhood or his youthful growth process. People usually see his success now, but the assistant lady has talked with Anna Greenberg several times and understands that Old Ruben is the idol that his boss respects the most and loves the most in his heart.

"The new line should be almost impossible to hold on."

Seeing that Wayne had no expression and greeted people from familiar circles who were familiar and unfamiliar, Nina recalled and before she could reach the crew of "The Infinite Walker", she whispered: "Their basic foundation, facing the low-cost youth horror films produced by young colleges and universities, there are almost no outstanding works in the past two years.

If it weren't for the release of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" a few years ago and then produced "The Seven Deadly Sins", the best among this mid-sized film company would have long announced bankruptcy and reorganization, or completely turned to Warner Bros. "

Now Xinyi Films is still retaining its last trace of independence. Since the parent company of Xinyi Films was acquired by Warner TV in 1993, Xinyi Films has been merged into Time Warner Group.

However, the president of Xinyi Film and the major shareholder of Xinyi Film, Shei, still retained the largest equity when Xinyi Film was first included in the parent company, so she has always enjoyed the company's independent operating rights. Therefore, although Xinyi Film and Television belongs to Times Warner Group, its film operation, production, and distribution have nothing to do with other companies within Times Group.

Obviously, the end of this life that can enjoy Time Warner's huge media resources and independently run a film and television company is about to come.

"I won't talk about this. After a while, I will remind me to pay attention to Xinyi Film after I get free."

Wayne whispered to Nina, turned his head and smiled immediately on his face. He took two steps and hugged George Lucas, who was also walking towards him. Seeing the father of Star Wars on this occasion gave him a great surprise.

As we all know, the richest man in Hollywood had already withdrawn from the Directors Association many years ago and never joined again. There were many chain reactions at that time. In short, the father of Star Wars rarely attended the Academy Awards.

"Relax, kid, you have done everything you should do." While patting Wayne's back twice, George Lucas leaned close to his ear and muttered in a low voice: "The rest is left to God to make a decision. I hope those old guys will not share pork this year!"

"Thank you, George."

With a smile on his face, he nodded.

Before the two of them could say a few more greetings, Nina gently poked Wayne on the waist, and the assistant lady's voice sounded at the same time. "Boss, it's Harvey Weinstein."

Just as he turned around, he also saw the tall and fat head of Miramax. Unlike what he imagined, next to this guy, there was an elderly white man with a Mediterranean distribution, the same suit and ties, and the same domineering and pride on his face.

The two people should have just passed by, but both sides were on the same aisle. It was obvious that on such occasions, no one would give way to anyone in advance.

"The fat man is Michael Eisner." Without waiting for Nina to give a reminder, George Lucas said directly side by side with him: "Don't look at me like this, yes, it's the head of Walt Disney, the most powerful Michael in the circle."

Wayne nodded slightly, squinted his eyes at the two people who were getting closer, and kept muttering in his heart, didn’t they say that these two people have been incompatible, why did they get together in public again?

Disney, or Michael Eisner's covetousness of Miramax, has been heard by some people in the circle that the faster this Disney subsidiary develops, the shorter it will be before it is completely swallowed up. The contradiction between the two comes from fundamental interests and is basically unable to reconcile.

"Good evening, George."

Michael Eisner smiled and took the initiative to reach out and shook with the Father of Star Wars, then turned his head and looked at the young people beside the Father of Star Wars, and directly ignored the entourage behind them. "George, don't you introduce it?"

"Mike, do you still need me to introduce it?" George Lucas shrugged and said without hesitation: "In Hollywood now, no one really doesn't know Wayne, right?"

His words caused the Disney leader to laugh. Judging from his current performance, this guy actually gave people the illusion of being generous.

"Good evening, Director Greenberg."

"Good evening, Mr. Eisner." Holding the other party's hands that were stretched out, Wayne nodded slightly with a reserved smile on his face. Then he let go of the other party's hand and looked at the fat man beside him. "Good evening, Harvey."

In fact, although the Temple Theater is quite large, there are many celebrities who have entered the industry. Most of them are walking around and greeting each other, but since Wayne entered the hall, it has always attracted a lot of people's attention. Everyone knows that he is the protagonist of the highlight tonight.

When Michael Eisner, Harvey Weinstein, Wayne and George Lucas collided head-on, countless eyes were filled with playful expressions. I wonder how many people were gloating and ready to watch the show.

"Wayne, good luck and hope you get everything you want!"

It was obvious that the muscles on Harvey Weinstein's fat face twitched a few times before he said hello, then paused and whispered again. "Do you remember what I said to you? Wayne, who can guarantee the belonging of the Little Golden Man until the last moment?"

“Wow, wow.”

Facing the fat man with a ugly face, Wayne didn't care about the people watching around him. He spread his hands exaggeratedly, with a strong sarcastic smile on his face. "Have, don't remind me so deliberately, you probably don't know, I was scared by a dog when I was a child!"

“f**k.”

He swears suddenly, and Harvey Weinstein immediately closed his mouth tightly again. Warner Brothers squeezed him openly or secretly some time ago, which almost made him breathless. Finally, if he had not lowered his head to Michael Eisner, Miramax's trouble would have continued. Now he is not willing to play with the other party like this kind of verbal dispute.

He looked at Wayne's young and tough face again, and his tall and fat body turned around and walked towards the direction he came.

Even Michael Eisner, who was standing beside him, was stunned. He now seriously suspected that this fat man was still the one Harvey Weinstein who was fighting openly and secretly with him and had extremely tough management methods?

What made him even more disgusted was how the young man, known as the representative of chivalrous spirit, spoke like a child fighting and spitting on the other party's face? Everyone is decent. Even if the two sides have conflicts that cannot be resolved, shouldn't they smile and hug them, and then secretly stab them with all their means? This is not in line with the rules of conduct of billionaires!

"Director Greenberg, are you interested in finding some time to sit down and chat?"

Although Harvey Weinstein had turned and left, Michael Eisner was not in a hurry. He raised his chin slightly and sent an invitation to the young man in front of him. "Believe me, Disney's upstream and downstream marketing channels are the top in Hollywood, no one! Disney is very suitable for you. Of course, I am not talking about production style, but commercial tolerance."

“no.”

Wayne shook his head directly and refused the other party without hesitation. "Warner Brothers are actively improving their upstream and downstream channels, and I have the patience to wait for it to get better."

Although the other party's pride is visible to the naked eye, he has to admit that when it comes to the surrounding transactions of successful movie derivatives, copyright operation and other means, Disney, which is in chaos, is still the first among the six major Hollywood players. In fact, the other party is right. If superheroes are put into their hands, they are the most profitable type.

Disney has been operating animation feature films over the years, and thus accumulated various channels and means, which Warner Bros. still learns.

"Don't refuse so thoroughly, boy." Michael Eisner was not disappointed, and took out a business card from his business pocket and handed it over. "If you have any ideas, you can call me at any time. This is my private phone call. Disney always welcomes capable young people."

Nina took the business card with both hands, took out a customer's name politely, and handed it to the other party with both hands. Without saying a few words, the two nodded politely to each other, turned around and walked towards the direction where their seats were.

"The party begins soon, I have to make some preparations." Before leaving, George Lucas blinked playfully with a big beard all over his face, and left under Wayne's inexplicable doubt.
