The morning sunlight fell into the office through the glass. The new week of work was about to begin. The door was suddenly pushed open from outside. A white young man about twenty-five years old walked in. He was carrying a briefcase in his hand and walked a little fast. He habitually turned his hand and closed the door, making a bang.

"Rick!" The person who was originally staying in the office immediately looked here angrily. The older one gritted his teeth and whispered, "What are you going to do? Do you want to kill us all?"

"I..." Rick looked at the eyes of several colleagues. He was just a newcomer and couldn't understand what was going on. "What...what is wrong? I...I closed the door like this last week."

Another whispered, “That’s OK last week, but not this week!”

Rick was even more confused, "For...why can't it be now?"

Someone stretched out his finger and pointed to the left, which was where Harvey Weinstein's office was located.

"Oh, I get it." Rick suddenly realized, "Is the boss in a meeting?"

The man who was the first to warn could not help but cover his forehead, worried about the guy's stupidity. Rick still couldn't figure it out, so he simply put his briefcase and sat in front of his desk.

In order to avoid being implicated, or the boss's inexplicable anger vented on himself, the oldest man lowered his voice and warned, "Rick, don't make any big noises on this level today or in the past two weeks, especially when closing the door, be careful, otherwise the boss..."

He raised his hand and made a move of wiping his neck.

"This is..." Rick still couldn't understand, "Why is this."

The older man shook his head, "Because of a video, a video where the boss didn't take it and gave up with his own hands."

Rick suddenly realized, "Can it be "Saw"?"

"Yes, it's it." Another man whispered, looking at the left, as if afraid that his boss would hear it, "On the weekend just past, "Saw" won a good box office. When the boss came to the company today, he was obviously unhappy."

Another person said, "When I came, I happened to see Jones Butler from the Marketing Department being called over, probably to become the boss's scapegoat and venting bucket."

Just in an office on the left, Jones Butler sat in front of the desk, his head slightly lowered, and his dark face tensed without saying a word.

Opposite her, Harvey Weinstein sat on the wide boss's chair, with no expression on his fat face.

"Sorry, Boss." Jones Butler knew he wanted to speak out. "My mistake in judgment on this project caused the company to lose a video with high market value."

She is not a newcomer who has just entered the workplace and knows some basic survival rules. Today is Monday, the day when the new North American box office rankings are released. From here, she knew that Harvey Weinstein was getting angry because of losing the project "Saw". No matter who was leading the negotiations at that time, who was the person who used means to force Murphy Stanton to transfer the copyright at a low price, she could only bear this mistake.

If a subordinate makes a mistake, it is definitely the subordinate's mistake. If a leader makes a mistake, it is definitely the subordinate's mistake.

Jones Butler still understands the principle that this is common in the workplace all over the world.

Her head was kept lowering slightly, as if she was the only one who made the mistake.

This is partly true. Nowadays, she knows that she has underestimated "Saw" and Murphy Stanton, especially the latter, who has resisted the temptation of Miramax's $7 million plus a film contract and turned to the arms of Fox Searchlight.

This alone was far beyond her expectations.

Similarly, she and Miramax's marketing department have also studied the market potential of this film, and believe that the operation of the box office of tens of millions of dollars in North America should not be a problem. With the income from overseas and other copyrights, Miramax has the hope of making eight-digit profits.

But now it has proven that this is all wishful thinking, and the final profit of "Saw" may be much better than expected!

Even double or even double is not a problem.

This is still the performance of Fox Searchlight, which is obviously inferior to Miramax's distribution company. Fox Searchlight invests very little resources in this film. The reason why "Saw" can achieve such results is more in line with the tastes of the market and horror movie enthusiasts.

Thinking of this, Murphy's face flashed in front of Jones Butler.

She admitted in her heart that she obviously underestimated the director's ability and ambitions.

However, the people who underestimate Murphy Stanton are not only themselves, but also the people on the other side?

"This is a video that should belong to Miramax!" Harvey Weinstein finally spoke and broke his silence, his tone was cold and stiff. "The marketing department and the film watching department should summarize why such a video that is about to be obtained slipped away from us!"

Of course, the price you offered cannot satisfy Murphy Stanton's huge appetite! This idea flashed through my mind, but Jones Butler would not say it stupidly.

"Go out." Harvey Weinstein waved his hand casually.

Jones Butler stood up, took his pace and walked out of the office slowly.

Harvey Weinstein's eyes fell on a report on the desk in front of him, and the fat on his face shook slightly twice.

After all, he is Harvey Weinstein, so how could he completely press such a mistake on his subordinates?

But when he saw the latest statistics on the report, he felt a little angry. He was about to eat the delicious steak in his mouth. Not only did he fly, but someone later proved that it was actually the meat of Kobe beef. How could this make people happy?

Harvey Weinstein's eyes moved down and looked at the latest North American box office rankings.

Ranked first is the third part of Universal Pictures' signature "Jurassic Park" series, which won $50.7 million in three days over the weekend.

And the second place is the name that makes him feel very dazzling - "Saw"!

This film, which costs only about $1 million, actually won $17.27 million from North America in three days last weekend, becoming the runner-up in the box office list!

His inner evaluation of the North American box office of this film was only about $15 million.

Facts have also proved that Harvey Weinstein also misunderstood.

Adding the box office number you received before, what is the cumulative North American box office of this film?

Harvey Weinstein calculated silently for a while in his mind and quickly came up with the answer, $25.71 million!

This number is too amazing, right? The investment return of about twenty times is more than 10 times... Harvey Weinstein suddenly felt a little chest tightness, and he couldn't believe that such a big profit actually slipped away from his hands.

"Saw" has only been expanded for a week, which is far from the final North American box office. Moreover, there are overseas box office, videotapes, and TV copyrights. What will the final profit be?

Even though I have operated many excellent videos over the years, the estimated numbers still make Harvey Weinstein feel extremely moved and heartbroken!

Especially the latter, it is like tearing his heart and lungs, mocking him for being short-sighted and ignoring talents.

There was a hint of regret that if he had known this result, he would have bought the video with a higher price instead of squeezing Murphy Stanton with numbers.

Thinking of this name, Harvey Weinstein felt even more uncomfortable. The young director asked Bill Roses to drag him and Miramax, but turned around and signed an agreement with Fox searchlight...

The stuffiness in his chest made Harvey Weinstein very uncomfortable. He stood up and walked around twice, came to the floor-to-ceiling window, let out a long breath, and finally felt a little better.

Murphy Stanton!

The name appeared again in Harvey Weinstein's head. There was no one else here, and he didn't have to hide it in front of his subordinates. He admitted that he had taken a look. This unknown young director seemed to know how to grasp the market and had his own ideas.

Will this be the next Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino?

Harvey Weinstein held his chest with his hands and looked into the distance. He was definitely not a mediocre person who only knew how to complain and regret. Instead, he understood the importance of an excellent director to the film industry.

Quentin Tarantino was discovered, and Miramax ushered in rapid development, but there is one thing he could not deny that Quentin's movies are a carnival feast for film critics and a small number of movie fans, but not the dish of popular movie fans...

However, there is no need to worry about all this. I also want to see how much this young director can do this work.

As the helmsman of a company, Harvey Weinstein may have various quirks or inexplicable problems, but learning from failures is a basic quality.

Now, he didn't say it, but he admitted in his heart that he underestimated the other party too much in the negotiations between "Saw" and Murphy Stanton, which directly led to this failed operation, causing Miramax to lose the profits he might have obtained in tens of millions of dollars.

Back at the desk, Harvey Weinstein put away the report, picked up his pen, and rewritten a line of letters on a blank piece of paper - Murphy Stanton!

He pressed the paper under the transparent glass layer of his desk, which was both a reminder and a lesson!
Chapter completed!
