Chapter 1433: The Weinstein brothers who were notorious in the later generations have not yet been ruined; of course, these two brothers are not on the top of Hollywood for the time being -
are climbing.
In March 1999, "Shapes' Love History" upset the Oscar for Best Picture, "Save Soldier Ryan", which is only five years away.
The Weinstein brothers completely changed the rules of the game and established a new awards season college public relations strategy. They are still in the early stage of development, and sometimes they are not effective, and the results are good and bad. They have not completely subverted the Oscars' pattern over the years.
To be precise, the Weinstein brothers are also trying to change the territory of Hollywood.
Mila Max Pictures, a film company named after their mother of the Weinstein brothers, was acquired by Disney in 1993. They took the opportunity to join Disney to produce and publish awards and awards season works for Disney.
Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Weinstein brothers have been challenging Disney's bottom line and launching a series of works that do not conform to the traditional style of Disney's family. Finally, Disney could not bear it anymore and officially announced the breakdown of the relationship this year.
The Weinstein brothers also realized that if they want to be chess players, they must have their own voice, just like Forest Pictures.
On the one hand, the Weinstein brothers have been quarreling with Disney because the name Miramax comes from the mother of the two brothers, so they hope to get the name back.
On the other hand, because Disney has always refused to compromise, the Weinstein brothers have to temporarily start a new start in the name of Weinstein Pictures.
However, the Weinstein brothers have been in Hollywood for many years. They have already started to make a full plan in recent years before leaving Disney. Dimen Pictures, which specializes in horror and thriller movies, is one of their hiding places for the three-holes of the Cunning Rabbit. The "Scream" series is their ace series.
This time, Quentin found the Weinstein brothers in hope that Dimen Pictures can provide support.
Qentin can be said to be a director of Miramax's direct lineage. "Pulp novels" and "Kill Bill" were all produced and distributed by Miramax - among them, works like "Kill Bill" are an important reason for Disney's anger, and the brothers Quentin and Weinstein have a close personal relationship.
Although the Weinstein brothers had some reservations about the attitude of "City of Sin", Dimen Pictures still gave Quentin a sum of funds, and then Quentin and Robert paid out of their own pocket to fill the gap and collected 40 million US dollars to complete the shooting, which led to the emergence of a classic "City of Sin".
So... Are the Wood brothers now preparing to seize food from the Weinstein brothers?
Think about it seriously, is this all a coincidence?
Forest and Weinstein Pictures were almost the same as the founding time, and the Weinstein Brothers and Disney had a falling out so much that they realized they had to be chess players, Anson was involved in the power struggle in Sony Colombia and fell into crisis that Lucas realized they had to take the initiative.
One in front and one behind, set up your own business and prepare to show your skills.
Of course, at present, it is just a coincidence.
After all, Weinstein Pictures has just been established, but the Weinstein brothers have established their reputation and momentum in Hollywood in the past five years. The three works of "Shapes' Love History", "British Patient" and "Chicago" have won the Oscar Best Picture, which undoubtedly makes them popular.
Although the film company has just been established, they already have a lot of resources and experience, leading Forest Pictures more than one position.
I'm afraid the Weinstein brothers didn't take Forest Pictures seriously at all-
Anson?
Just just a vase. No matter how popular it is or how famous it is, can it still exceed the peak limit of Tom Cruise and Leonardo DiCaprio?
What's more, even Tom and Leonardo are no exception. If they are ready to win the Oscars, the Weinstein brothers are still the most guaranteed traders in Hollywood.
In the eyes of the Weinstein brothers, Anson had no threat or any weight.
However, now, Anson is preparing to grab food from the Weinstein brothers. Things are a little dangerous. However, this is not something Anson needs to worry about, he has confidence in Lucas-
The Weinstein brothers are not that scary.
Lucas fell into deep thought for a while, but did not stay for too long, and raised his eyes again, "30 million US dollars, I think this cooperation can be formed."
Ansen raised his eyebrows gently -
From his previous life, the production cost of "City of Sin" was 40 million US dollars, and it spread around the world in a cultural trend. Whether it is the image style or Jessica Alba, it can be said that it is red in purple, and it is still a unique existence until twenty years later.
But in fact, the box office of the movie was not as good as expected, with $74 million in North America and $84 million overseas, and finally the world's total of $158 million.
From a commercial perspective alone, the film brings 20 million US dollars in profits to Dimen Pictures, which is indeed worth celebrating; however, the real success of the film lies in the deep explosion at the cultural level, which has caused heated discussions in all aspects and even had a series of impacts on the Hollywood film industry.
Later, a full nine years later, the movie gave birth to a second movie.
The same model and the same production have suffered a crushing defeat in reputation and box office, which even led to Dimen Pictures facing a loss of more than 40 million US dollars.
This time, all the income and reputation earned in the first part were paid back.

Afterwards, in Ansen's view, the emergence of "City of Sin" is because of the positioning deviation of publicity and promotion. The market still feels fresh. The fresh image style, fresh narrative methods, fresh comics and movies have brought success to the movie, but it did not really touch the sense of fate behind the bloody violence of the movie images. The despair and pain that cannot escape the shackles of the city have lost the afterglow.
It is precisely because of this that Ansen believes that Forest Film’s production of “Sin City” focuses on making a name for itself, and profit is the second priority.
But if Lucas can control costs, but still completes the shooting with quality and quantity, and cooperates with Anson's publicity strategy, perhaps this movie can create different impacts.
Just...30 million US dollars, is it true? Are you sure it will not affect the quality?
Anson looked at Lucas, "Are you confident of convinceing them?"
Lucas put the script back on the coffee table, "You just said that Robert paid for the opening credits out of his own pocket just to convince Frank Miller."
"People who work with enthusiasm believe in numbers, not rational analysis, but hope and dream. As long as I can satisfy this, he will use 200% of his energy to complete the work."
Ansen:... "Luca, I think you are connoting me."
Lucas is calm, "So, are you working for your dreams? We don't need to bother with the game of "Spider-Man 3"."
Ansen sneered, "Tsk, children make choices, adults want them all, I want checks for my dreams, and I can't lose any."
The look of taking it for granted, without any guilt or shyness, was completely open and honest.
Lucas nodded slightly, "It's worthy of being you."
