In the hotel reception room, several lawyers were conducting the final verification of the upcoming contract. Harvey Weinstein sat on the sofa and carefully considered the next process, which was very confident.

The producers of these overseas film-weak countries are just arbitrarily kneaded plasticine in the hands of Hollywood giants like him.

If you throw out some bait a little, you will come up obediently.

Harvey Weinstein has learned in detail that director Zhang has an unusual obsession with Oscars.

It seems that you can complete your life transformation by getting an Oscar and become a top international director.

It is difficult for Harvey Weinstein to understand this mentality. To put it bluntly, the Oscars are the awards that Hollywood boast. Do you, a top oriental director, need the recognition of foreigners?

He really couldn't figure it out.

However, this obsession is a good thing for Miramax. With a little operation, Miramax can make good use of it and gain certain benefits from it.

A middle-aged man entered the room and came to Harvey Weinstein's side.

"Boss." The middle-aged man looked extremely respectful.

Harvey Weinstein nodded gently first, then asked, "Are you leaving?"

The middle-aged man quickly replied: "The British and Canadians left Shanghai the day before the end of the film festival. Europa Film Company left on a flight on the night of the film festival. Ronan Anderson and the people from Relativity Entertainment left yesterday. I specifically asked someone to inquire about it. The private official plane rented by Relativity Entertainment took off yesterday afternoon."

"Okay." Harvey Weinstein got the best news of his ideal: "Now we can talk to the producer again."

He walked out of the reception room in a very good mood, and under the guidance of his assistant, he came to the room where Zhang Baimao and others were.

Just like the previous bidding meeting, Harvey Weinstein was still prepared.

Zhang Baimao saw Harvey Weinstein and immediately met him. Even Master Zhang put down his work and looked over there with attention.

They have contacted the media and will immediately release the news as long as the contract is signed, and their net worth will rise.

This is an era where everything is looking at money, and even the movie industry is no exception.

"Mr. Weinstein." Zhang Baimao smiled all over her face. From the end of the bidding, she was glad that she had not traded privately with Relativity Entertainment, otherwise there would be the $25 million? He saw that Harvey Weinstein's face was covered with green dollars, and he couldn't help but say, "We can sign a contract, right?"

Master Zhang also came over and said, "There are still media reporters waiting for an interview."

Originally, he and Zhang Baimao planned to hold a signing ceremony in front of the media to boost their momentum, but unexpectedly, Harvey Weinstein refused.

Harvey Weinstein came over with the translator and said with a smile: "The contract must be signed. However, there is a clause that we need to discuss again."

Zhang Baimao's heart skipped a beat, and she felt something was not very good, but when she thought that the other party would pay a deposit of $2.5 million, she felt relieved and asked, "Which clause?"

Harvey Weinstein said lightly: "I went back and thought about it carefully. The $25 million buyout price is too high, which is very likely to bring losses to Miramax. So, we need to re-set the price."

Zhang Baimao's face changed instantly, and with a little questioning, he said, "Mr. Weinstein, the price has been finalized, why should we change it again? We must abide by the oral agreement reached!"

Harvey Weinstein didn't take this to heart at all and said casually: "This kind of bidding will be based on the formalities, and we need to agree on the specific price."

Master Zhang already had a very bad feeling, and this Hollywood bastard was untrustworthy!

Compared to Master Zhang, Zhang Baimao is more tolerant. After all, $25 million is indeed a bit high. He doesn't want to offend the international publisher, so he simply asked: "Mr. Weinstein, how much do you reprice?"

"Old Zhang." Master Zhang couldn't help it.

Zhang Baimao gave him a look and signaled that he would be calm. It was not unacceptable to 20 million US dollars.

Harvey Weinstein said directly: "The buyout fee is $2.5 million, and we just sign the contract."

"What?" The white hat was incredible: "2.5 million dollars?"

Harvey Weinstein said for granted: "This is consistent with the value of your video."

"How can you do this!" Master Zhang was a little anxious in an instant: "How can you be like this in your life? You have no faith in your words! You have no faith in your words!"

The translator looked at him and didn't speak.

Zhang Baihu stared at Harvey Weinstein, as if he had known this famous international film businessman for the first time. The anger in his heart continued to accumulate, like a suppressed volcano.

How can you be so shameless? How can you be so shameless? As expected, imperialism will never die! Even the lackeys of capitalism cannot be trusted!

Is this the true face of Hollywood?

Zhang Baihu stared wide: "We can't accept $2.5 million!" He reminded: "Europa Film Company and Embassy Pictures have a far higher bid than $2.5 million!"

"Is that so? Then you can contact them." Harvey Weinstein seemed particularly confident: "They won't even pay $2 million now."

He said lightly: "Mr. Zhang, do you think they will come back to buy your videos after they leave Shanghai after the bid failed? Even if they come back, they will not pay a higher price than me."

Harvey Weinstein has played similar methods many times, first selling high prices to squeeze out competitors, and then repent to a low price.

It’s not that there are no producers who contact other publishers, but when the publishers hear that Miramax is only willing to offer low prices in the end, those companies are unwilling to offer high prices.

In more cases, once an international film company leaves the country where the producer is located, it will not come back in a short period of time.

Harvey Weinstein has confirmed that all the companies that were interested in this film have left. These people are not called back by Zhang Baimao in just one phone call.

Moreover, Embassy Pictures and Europa Films, which can really compete with Miramax, are not short of film distribution.

"I won't sell it anymore!" Master Zhang was very angry: "We won't sell it anymore!"

After listening to the translation, Harvey Weinstein said calmly: "Mr. Zhang, Director Zhang, Miramax is a world-renowned film company, and its headquarters is Walt Disney. If Miramax claims that your films have major flaws and are not suitable for the international market..."

In Shanghai, he couldn't do anything to lock up Mr. Zhang, but he also showed the strength of international publishers: "Can your video be sold to the West? In the end, you can only put international copyright in your hands."

Mr. Zhang was almost mad. This was the first time he had seen the shameless face of a Hollywood film company.

Zhang Baimao's face was also ashen. These international publishers have a great influence, and he is not sure about the specific situation. If it really becomes a reality, the losses will be too great.

"We have always had contact with Ronan Anderson." How could Zhang Baimao surrender? He is still fighting for conditions that are beneficial to his side: "It is not difficult to contact Ronan Anderson..."

Harvey Weinstein said without any wavering, "Ronan Anderson? Do you two know who Ronan Anderson is? A super rich man with a net worth of nearly a billion dollars, do you think someone like him will come back for a video with limited value?"

Master Zhang held back the tone in his heart and whispered: "I'll contact Xiao Zhang later. She has a good relationship with Ronan Anderson."

Harvey Weinstein knew that he could not just be too high pressure, and said at the right time: "Two, this instinct can become a win-win cooperation. Miramax can make a profit, and you can make a profit too."

Zhang Baimao almost spit out blood. The shamelessness of this Hollywood boss completely refreshed his cognition.

"Do you know what Miramax and I are best at?" Harvey Weinstein asked.

Although Master Zhang really wanted to curse, he was concerned about international influence and could only mutter to himself: Of course, what he is best at is shameless, shameless, and no bottom line...

Originally, he thought that the film industry was dark enough, but now looking at Harvey Weinstein, he felt that the gap between the two sides was as big as the strength of the film industry.

Who is it? Besides, Hollywood is pure and has no messy things. I will criticize him! Master Zhang was angry.

Harvey Weinstein didn't need these two answers and said to himself: "I'm best at operating the Oscars."

When Master Zhang heard the word Oscar, his face changed immediately.

"I have all operated the Best Actor Award, Best Director Award, Best Picture Award." Harvey Weinstein was confident: "I have won these important awards more than once."

Mr. Zhang's anger suddenly disappeared. Thinking of the Oscar record of Harvey Weinstein, for some reason, I felt that Harvey Weinstein's fat face looked so pleasing to the eye.

Harvey Weinstein continued: "This film has the strength to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and Miramax and I will do our best. If the film is nominated or gets the Little Golden Man, you will not only gain fame, but also real profits. Think about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and An-Li..."

Hearing these words, Zhang Baimao gradually calmed down and analyzed the possible pros and cons.

If you can really win the Oscar, you will definitely be a hit in China!

Master Zhang even looked at Zhang Baihu frequently. The little Oscar-gold man seemed to be hanging in front of him, shaking around constantly.

Harvey Weinstein sneered in his heart, knowing that the situation was in control, he couldn't help but think of Ronan Anderson.

That young man is indeed very powerful, but his experience is much worse than an experienced veteran like him.

"Old Zhang..." As soon as Master Zhang spoke, a sudden knock on the door sounded.

Zhang Baimao turned around, with a hint of displeasure, and said, "Please come in."
