The early morning sun, shining through the curtains in the room, was slightly harsh, but warm.
Shen Fei slowly opened his eyes, looked at the messy clothes on the ground, and recalled what happened last night.
In fact, there is no need to recall, although I drank a lot of alcohol, in fact, both of them were sober.
Everything is just a natural result~.
“You’re awake, dear.”
Scarlett Johansson’s voice rang out, she was wearing pajamas, standing at the window, watching the traffic below the liquor store.
“Scarlett, why did you wake up so early?”
Shen Fei was a little surprised.
“Get used to it.”
Scarlett Johansson smiled, and then asked Shen Fei, “Do you mind if I smoke?” “
“It’s okay.”
Shen Fei shrugged.
Scarlett Johansson turned and walked over to her clothes, took out a box of women’s cigarettes from her bag, and took one out to light for herself.
“Thank you, Shen.”
Scarlett Johansson smiled and said to Shen Fei, “You gave me a pleasant night. “
Shen Fei laughed when he heard this.
Let’s be honest.
He loved the expression.
“You haven’t told me why you showed up at my door that day.”
Shen Fei looked at Scarlett Johansson and asked with some curiosity.
“It’s nothing, I escaped.”
Scarlett Johansson said slowly: “I went to an interview, and the other party made me drink a lot, and I felt something was wrong, so I ran away. “
Shen Fei’s brows furrowed suddenly.
“Who?”
Looking at Scarlett Johansson, Shen Fei said slowly: “Since the other party dares to do this, he should be a very famous producer, and he is not afraid of your revenge.” “
“Yes.”
Scarlett Johansson smiled wryly: “You shouldn’t know him, his name is Harvey Weinstein.” “
？？？？
？？？？
Shen Fei was stunned.
Not to mention, he actually knows this person.
This guy is the most famous independent power producer in Hollywood history, and at the same time the most famous criminal.
He was sentenced to 23 years in prison, and in the revelations of the New York Times, Harvey Weinstein was accused of assaulting and harassing multiple women for nearly three decades.
In fact, after the New York Times report, a number of women, including Kate Winslet, Charlize Theron, and others, accused him of being a beast with a human face.
The Weinstein sexual assault case has a nuclear bomb in the history of Hollywood and the history of women’s struggles, not only because of his long time in crime, the heinousness of his crimes, and the huge number of victims, but also because Harvey Weinstein himself is the absolute boss in Hollywood history, he and his brother Bob Weinstein single-handedly built an entire business empire, from the unknown child of a New York diamond district vendor to the top of Hollywood Vanity Fair, and at the same time, he also brought about a change in the entire independent film culture. It has even rewritten the rules of the game in Hollywood.
The reason why he was able to violate hundreds of women and make them dare not speak out, and even realized that he was violated at the time, was largely related to the power he held.
The aggressiveness and aggression with which he was able to create a cinematic myth from scratch and bring independent directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Steven Soderbergh to the market is partly a combination of his oppressive attitude towards women.
Behind him, there is not only the rise of Hollywood independent films, but also the oppressive structure of the patriarchal empire on women, and they are all inherent in the power order of the entire Hollywood and even the culture of the United States.
Shen Fei has the impression that Harvey Weinstein is very good at packaging movies, and this guy likes to compose different versions of movies through various editing methods.
This method of “saving” the film by deceptive methods has almost become Harvey’s business rule, and he will package countless films into the kind of films that American audiences love to watch, accept, and like in the days to come.
But I have to admit that when foreign language films were not mainstream in Hollywood, Harvey was a lover of foreign language films, and he bought the copyright of “Ju Dou”, “Farewell My Concubine”, and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.
It was he who first started the precedent of using a lot of manpower to lobby for awards for independent films and foreign language films, and also paved the way for Weinstein’s later Oscar road.
This contradiction of both pushing and hurting is inherent in his film career, and it also has the same roots as the later history of sexual assault.
Miramax’s important turning point was “Sex, Lies, and Videotape”, and at Sundance that year, Steven Soderbergh made a splash with this film but didn’t win a single award, which also made many film buying companies look ahead.
Harvey, on the other hand, bought the film for a million dollars with an almost insane attitude, which was ridiculed by many studios at the time, and even Soderbergh himself did not believe that Harvey was serious, and made a lot of excessive additional requirements in order to test whether he was playing tickets, but Harvey agreed one by one.
As a result, “Sex, Lies, and Videotape,” which was snubbed by Sundance, topped the Palme d’Or that year, and even beat Spike Lee’s “Do What You Should Do.”
When Soderbergh, who didn’t expect to win the award at all, received the trophy from Jane Fonda, he felt “like a door opened, and all the voices of the world poured out at once.” He felt as if he had been a “John Lennon for three hours” and left in a trance that he forgot the trophy in his seat.
Soderbergh’s shock illustrates the scarcity of this kind of youth and independent cinema in the temple of art, and also marks a shift in the aesthetic style of the independent film movement.
Harvey is both the discoverer of this youth and independence, and the promoter of this aesthetic turn.
But his bigger impetus was to use his packaging skills to bring “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” to the world, and he even ran commercials on television for the first time, and adopted a radial distribution method for the film, which was screened in even the most remote cities in the United States.
In the end, the film earned more than $50 million worldwide, and while becoming a bible for fans, it also allowed Miramax to slowly have a seat in Hollywood from a small workshop.
After that, their “Piano Lessons” and “Farewell My Concubine” shared the Palme d’Or at Cannes, and even got ten Oscar nominations, which were in the limelight for a while, but the storm that really changed the entire independent film industry is still to come.
Yes, it’s Pulp Fiction.
In the previous “Reservoir Dogs”, Harvey had already noticed the then unknown Quentin Tarantino, and the process of investing in “Pulp Fiction” was like a legend, Harvey read Quentin’s script on the plane, and decided to buy it before he finished reading it: “Sign the agreement, we want it.” “
He took Pulp Fiction and Quentin to Cannes, and then there was the historic moment when Pulp Fiction won the Palme d’Or. Because of this cooperation, the relationship between Quentin and the Weinstein brothers is as good as glue, in the words of the media at the time, Quentin is not only the third brother of Weinstein, but also their godson!
Harvey always uses commercial methods to promote his films, when “Pulp Fiction” was released in 1,100 theaters in the United States at the same time, no independent film has ever achieved such a large-scale rollout release, it even beat Stallone’s “Cannonball Expert” released at the same time, and finally won 210 million at the global box office, which is also the first independent film to exceed 100 million at the box office.
At this point, the Weinstein brothers and Miramax officially established their status in the world of independent films.
And from this time on, he began to gradually indulge himself, that is, he began to attack those actresses.
Since then, Weinstein Pictures has taken one step at a time, and “The Reader” won the Oscar for Best Actress.
A strong relationship with Quentin led them to Inglourious Basterds.
“The King’s Speech” won the first Oscar for Weinstein Pictures.
In the years of “The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds”, Jennifer Lawrence’s actress owes Harvey’s lobbying skills and celebrity network established from the Miramax era, and in the powerful empire of Hollywood, Harvey is almost omnipotent.
But if anyone still remembers that when Kate Winslet won Best Actress that year, she did not thank Weinstein, which also became evidence that everyone will sort out Harvey’s sexual assault in the future.
It’s just that Shen Fei didn’t expect that even Scarlett Johansson almost suffered from his poisonous hands.
Standing up and walking to Scarlett Johansson’s side, Shen Fei smiled: “Do you need me to help you?” “
“You?”
Scarlett Johansson was a little surprised.
She knew that Shen Fei was a businessman and should have a lot of money, but she didn’t think that Shen Fei could help her.
In the Hollywood circle, Harvey Weinstein’s influence is unimaginable to outsiders.
“yes.”
Shen Fei laughed, shrugged his shoulders and said, “I have a little bit of money, and then I also know a few friends, for them, Harvey Weinstein has some influence, but that’s all. “
“Don’t make a fuss, you don’t understand, Shen, that Harvey guy has a lot of influence in Hollywood.”
Scarlett Johansson said, “I know you’re doing it for my good, but I don’t want to get you in trouble. “
She has a good impression of Shen Fei, and she really doesn’t want Shen Fei to have a grudge with a Hollywood boss like Harvey Weinstein because of herself.
Shen Fei immediately smiled.
Let’s be honest.
He really didn’t expect Scarlett Johansson to think so much about himself.
originally thought that they were in love with each other, but now, Shen Fei is willing to maintain a pure physical relationship with her for a long time.
Come to think of it.
Shen Fei turned around and picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.
“Mr. Shen, is there anything wrong?”
On the other side of the phone, a voice rang.
“Mr. Howard, please do me a favor and help me tell Harvey Weinstein that Scarlett Johansson is my man, and if he continues to harass my friends, then don’t blame me for being rude. Guess if I paid $10 million, would someone burst into his office with a gun and kill him? “
Shen Fei said lightly.
it!
！！！！
！！！！
When Scarlett Johansson heard Shen Fei’s words, she was dumbfounded.
This Nima!
What is this operation?
Howard on the other side of the phone was also stunned, and then laughed: “Hahaha, my dear employer, what are you kidding, the United States is a safe country, how can such a thing happen?” That’s just something that only a fan who gets angry after watching a Harvey Weinstein movie does not have anything to do with you, please don’t talk nonsense. (If you read violent novels, you can go to Feilu Novel Network!) ）
0 for flowers0
Shen Fei smiled with satisfaction: “Haha, okay, then thank you.” “
“You’re so gracious, five million dollars a year in attorney fees, you’ll know what’s worth it.”
Howard said calmly.
To put it bluntly, you get what you pay for.
Shen Fei gives him five million dollars a year as a lawyer’s fee, if he can’t help Shen Fei settle this little matter, then there are a lot of gold medal lawyers waiting to be this legal counsel.
Putting down the phone, Shen Fei looked at Scarlett Johansson: “Look, it’s solved.” “
“No, Shen, you, what are you going to do?”
Scarlett Johansson was a little surprised.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a lesson for that Mr. Weinstein.”
Shen Fei said lightly.
It’s the truth.
While Harvey Weinstein was influential, it was only in Hollywood.
The so-called celebrities in Hollywood are, at best, a group of celebrity entertainers.
Compared to real capital, the super-rich, they are nothing.
Howard, as a gold medal barrister, has a hundred ways to keep Harvey Weinstein out of the way.
As for Harvey Weinstein and Shen Fei?
A super-rich man with a net worth of billions of dollars, and a top independent producer in Hollywood.
Smart people don’t have to make a choice.
………………
In the next few days, Shen Fei asked Scarlett Johansson to accompany him and walked around the United States.
And Howard, for his part, quickly passed the news to Harvey Weinstein.
Of course.
He used a simple and rude way, directly led someone to Harvey Weinstein, and clearly warned Harvey Weinstein that if he didn’t want to anger a Wall Street upstart worth billions of dollars, it was best to stay away from Scarlett Johansson.
Otherwise, no one knows what would have happened to the Weinstein Company.
Harvey Weinstein was stunned.
He never dreamed that he just wanted to subtly tell Scarlett Johansson how he could provoke a billionaire.
And.
Even one of the co-founders of the nation’s largest law firm appeared in front of him.
He knows all too well how influential these lawyers are.
Don’t look at yourself calling for wind and rain in Hollywood, but in front of these people, there is simply not enough to watch.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Howard, I didn’t know Miss Scarlett’s relationship with your employer, and I apologize for my recklessness.”
Harvey Weinstein faced Howard, groveling like a servant.
No way.
Before Howard became a lawyer, he was a prosecutor and a congressman.
It is rumored that he is even related to some politicians and consortia.
Such a person is not something that Harvey Weinstein can offend.
“My employer has warned you that if you hit Miss Johnson’s relationship again, don’t blame us for being rude.”
Howard looked at Harvey Weinstein coldly.
After saying that.
He turned and walked out.
After getting into the car, Howard instructed his assistant: “Send someone to investigate what this Harvey Weinstein did, and then release it to the media, since this guy wants to die, then we will help him.” “
“Okay.”
The assistant hurriedly nodded and agreed.
For them, there is no need to waste any effort at all.
People like Harvey Weinstein are really nothing.
………………
Shen Fei naturally didn’t know this, he stayed in the United States for two more days, and then said goodbye to Scarlett Johansson.
After all, the time to come out this time is not short, and it seems that it will be mid-May, and Shen Fei still has something to go back to deal with.
Although Gentle Township is very comfortable, and the widow’s skills are also good, she can’t delay her business after all.
After making a call to Lin Yuan’s guy, Shen Fei stepped on the plane back to China.
“I don’t know what’s going on in the country.”
Shen Fei sat on the plane and muttered to himself in his heart.
During the period when he left China, Wanli Technology’s Weibo has been officially launched, and through the drainage of Sohu, a portal, according to Ye Qinglian, it has already had many users.
Of course.
This is also related to Shen Fei’s letting the contracted artists and directors of Wanli Film and Television register on Weibo one after another.
After all, many of them have their own fans, and the existence of these fans has helped the promotion of Weibo.
However, Shen Fei also understands that this is just the beginning, and what can really make Weibo famous is to watch the Olympics.
Sohu has the exclusive broadcasting rights of the Olympic Games, and Shen Fei also discussed with Ye Qinglian to ask Weibo to give bonuses to those Olympic champions and medalists and invite them to sign up for Weibo.
That’s the real killer feature!
