[US Entertainment] Best Director

Back in Hollywood, Prairius found the contact information of Helemut Lang recommended by Lawrence from Jerry.

After explaining his purpose, Helemut Lang nodded in agreement readily.

A week later, Lawrence sent the entire character set model, which, with Pryreth's approval, was sent to Helmut Lang for final adjustments.

In terms of art design and overall scene planning, it can be said that the wind is going smoothly. In contrast, Prairis's work on scripts and actors has stagnated.

The screenwriting ability of the original screenwriter Michael Goldenberg is really not flattering. The "Green Lantern" script written by him in his previous life completely abandoned the DC style and a strong Marvel flavor, but the most terrifying thing is not a strong flavor. It has a strong Marvel flavor, but he doesn’t even learn Marvel, and the Green Lantern he writes will repeatedly say "Trust me, you can do it, you will definitely become an excellent person like me." This type of line , full of low-level tastes of elementary school students. When watching "Green Lantern" in the previous life, Prairie wanted to bring Joe Simon, the screenwriter of "Captain America", to Michael Goldberg to teach him how to write a script.

It is impossible to use Michael Goldberg again. DC then transferred several screenwriters from other crews, but Prairis was not satisfied after watching it. With some "Madonna" atmosphere, it is annoying.

After much deliberation, Prairis decided to consult Paul, who had worked with her on two films.

Paul has some interest in "Green Lantern", but he has just accepted an investment from Warner, and changed his career as a director to shoot Warner's new movie "Three Days of Love", so he regretfully declined.

At the end of the phone call, Prairis chatted with Paul about the later stage of "Approaching Iraq", and Meryl Streep suggested that Prairius buy out Weinstein's public relations this year with her, and also It is to include Weinstein's three Oscars this year, "Best Director", "Best Picture", and "Best Actress".

“What do you think about having Weinstein on the PR for Closer to Iraq?” Pryreth asked.

Paul frowned.

If Prairis was a man, he would have told Prairis without hesitation that it was a wise choice to let Weinstein come to PR, but Prairis is not a man, she is a woman, and she is still a good-looking woman. nice women.

And Weinstein's favorite is a beautiful inner girl like Prairie—even if Prairie is not an actress.

After pondering for a long time, Paul frowned and asked.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​asking Weinstein to publicize the Oscars? Did Weinstein approach you? What did he say?"

"Weinstein didn't call me. It was Meryl's suggestion."

"Meryl? Meryl Streep?" Paul snorted softly, "What kind of simple role do you think she will be if she can be nominated for the Oscars' law?"

The tone was contemptuous.And with some distaste for the status quo in Hollywood.

Prairie declined to comment.

Just a reminder.

"Paul."

Hearing Prairis' voice, Paul remembered that he was still in Warner's lobby, retracted the topic, and muttered.

"Give it to Weinstein, and your Oscar will be secure."

There was a little disdain in his tone.

But the words are good.

97-13 was Weinstein's golden age. In just a dozen years, he personally snatched more than 70 statuettes.If Prairith now handed over "Approaching Iraq" to Weinstein PR, then the probability of winning the prize would be greatly improved.

There was some noise in Paul's place, as if they were discussing the details of the script of "The Love of March".

"I'll hang up first," Prairis said.

"Okay." Paul replied.

Hanging up the phone, Prairis began to think.

At this time, Weinstein hadn’t yet exposed his notorious sex scandal, and those old white men at the Oscars were still relying on his public relations tactics.Relying on the great achievement of reversing "Brokeback Mountain" with "Crash" in the past few years, Weinstein can be said to be the best in Hollywood. According to the memory of Prairie's previous life, he will be popular for another two years until "The Great Artist" in 12. ", Weinstein's public relations strategy will gradually be disgusted by the Oscars.

However, the cooperation with Weinstein is also full of disadvantages. This year is 2010, and Weinstein will be kicked out of Hollywood seven years later because of the sexual assault scandal. Among them, the most unlucky one is Meryl Streep. She had publicly stated that she and Weinstein were friends before she chose Weinstein as her publicist before the Weinstein sex scandal was exposed.

In fact, Meryl Streep's performance in the Oscar-nominated "Washington Post" in 18 was very good, and even a breakthrough to some extent, so it was a big deal before Weinstein's sex scandal in 17 Some people thought that Meryl Streep could successfully win the fourth statuette, but after the Weinstein incident was exposed, although Meryl Streep tried her best to save it, she only got one nomination in the end. The statuette was picked up by another Hollywood actress, Frances McDormand.

Prairis had never met Harvey Weinstein in person in his previous life, but only learned a little bit from newspapers and the media.

"Rough and rude", "forced sex with women", "a total beast".

In these clear-water pornography, apart from the "forced sex with women" that has already been hammered, as for the others, Prairis is not sure which ones are true and which ones are plainly slandered after the wall has been pushed down by everyone.

Weinstein is not a good man, but now Hollywood is his world.

More than 30 years ago, the media wrote reports about his sexual/assault, but it was not until Woody Allen's son exposed him in 2017 that he was completely defeated, which shows that his power is overwhelming.

Now, through Meryl, he has expressed to Prairie that he wants to take over "Approaching Iraq". No matter what her final decision is, she has to give Weinstein an answer in person, one that will not tear the face answer.

After thinking for a long time, Prairis decided to meet with Weinstein before making a decision.

After the union issued a notice to hire screenwriters, Prairie contacted Meryl and asked for Weinstein's mailbox.

In the afternoon, Prairis got a call from Weinstein.

He informed Prairius to come to his company around three o'clock.

Prairie nodded in agreement.

I was planning to go alone.

Then he texted Eddie, asking if he could accompany her to Weinstein's company in the afternoon.

Eddie had just finished auditioning for Simon Curtis's new film, My Week With Monroe, when he got the text.

frowned.

During these years in Hollywood, he has also heard some rumors about Weinstein, such as the other day

Dial Prairie's phone number, and it will be connected soon.

"You hired Weinstein to do this PR?"

"Correct."

"I don't approve."

"why?"

Eddie frowned, not knowing what to say about it.

"Is it because of Weinstein's disdainful hobbies?" Prairis asked without waiting for Eddie to answer.

"you know?"

"I know." Prairie replied.

she knows?

Eddie was silent for a moment.

Say.

"I'll accompany you in the afternoon."

Make an appointment with Prairie at the Weinstein Company.

Hang up.

At [-]:[-], Eddie appeared downstairs at Weinstein Company.

Prairie led him into the Weinstein Building.

After recording the identities of the two, the front desk lady took them to the elevator door and clicked on the 18th floor.

The elevator quickly arrived at the target floor.

Sitting in his seat, Weinstein saw Prairis stand up.

His eyes were unscrupulously hitting Prairis.

The first time Weinstein saw Prairis on TV was three years ago. The first time he saw her, he wanted to fuck/her. The European face that seemed innocent and inherently melancholic was the same as the one he played recently. Those American girls are different, and it must be interesting to play/look up. Unfortunately, since "Letters from Iwo Jima", this little sheep ran back to work in Europe. "movie of.

Weinstein has seen "Approaching Iraq", which is a very politically correct movie, which is what the old Oscar guys like.

Even if the director wasn't Prairie, he thinks he would have followed.

His eyes flicked from Prairis' neck to Eddie Redmayne beside Prairis.

Of course, Weinstein didn't know Eddie's name, he just vaguely knew that this was a newcomer from the UK, who was the leading actor in "Approaching Iraq", and it was said that he had recently participated in a film he invested in. "My Week With Marilyn Monroe".

Raising his eyebrows, he turned his eyes away from Eddie and turned back to Prairis.

"Director Klander, I think I've said that it's enough for you to come alone, but you... seem to have brought one more." Weinstein shifted his gaze to Eddie with some inexplicable intention, "He who is it?"

Before Prairis could speak, Eddie took a step forward.

"Eddie Redmayne. Perhaps you've heard my name?"

After pretending to think, Weinstein said.

"Sorry, I haven't heard your name, Mr. Redmayne."

Glancing again at Eddie in front of him, Weinstein let out a false snort.

"Well, I seem to remember you. Are you the newcomer actor in "Approaching Iraq?" Weinstein emphasized his tone on "Newcomer".

Eddie smiled nonchalantly.

Walked up and shook hands with Weinstein.

"I heard my father often mentioning you."

"Who is your father?" Weinstein asked casually.

"Rex Redmayne," Eddie replied.

Weinstein stared at Prairis unscrupulously, his eyes froze, and he looked at Eddie.

It seemed to hear something incredible.

The tone was slightly shocked.

"Who?"

"Rex Redmayne."

"The name seems familiar." Weinstein looked at Eddie.

Eddie smiled.

"He bought some shares of Disney the other day. It was reported by many media. Maybe you read it from the newspaper."

Although the voice was soft, it was like thunder.

Weinstein looks at Eddie.

For a long time, he looked at Praris jokingly.

"I didn't expect that your crew is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Just as Prairis was about to say something, he felt an arm around his shoulders.

It's Eddie.

He put his arms around her shoulders, looked at Weinstein with a smile, but there was an undeniable coldness in his tone.

"I know what you're thinking, and I know your little hobbies that don't make it to the table. You should know that my father and your former boss, Michael Eisner, were talking about something recently."

Before he finished speaking, Weinstein's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Michael Eisner.

Former Disney CEO.I have always had a grudge with him.Redus Redmayne, who has just become one of Disney's major shareholders, has a lot of connections.

The new CEO, Shang Zhan, has lost 6 million of Disney's [-] million in the past two years, and now Disney's top management has criticized him a little. If Redes proposes to restore Michael's CEO position at the board meeting, those idiot directors will probably agree.

And once Michael returned to his original position, he might be the first to take revenge.

Weinstein looked at Eddie and Prairie with vague intentions.

The anger in the eyes almost killed Eddie.

But he held back.

A long time, he said.

"what would you like?"

"It's simple," Eddie replied. "Pure PR."
