"Brother Cohen?" Lan Li was a little surprised. They only met twice. Once in Berlin, once in Oscar, and both times we met only a few words, not to mention friends, not even a nodding acquaintance.
After carefully recalling the two brief encounters between them, Lan Li vaguely caught some clues, so he asked, "Joel, or Ethan?"
"Is there any difference?" Andy and Coen brothers are not too familiar, so they don't know.
The Weinstein brothers, Harvey is the more eye-catching one when people talk about it; but when the Coen brothers are mentioned, the two brothers are more like a whole, sold in bundles, "However, it should be Joel."
"Oh." Lan Li sighed lightly. Joel was the impulsive character, and shook his head with a chuckle, "Then, I don't know. If it was Ethan, I thought they would have I want to talk to me about the work; but if you think about it, it’s impossible. They can talk to you directly for the work." There is no need to cover up.
"My first reaction was the same. But he didn't mention it." Andy nodded and replied in the affirmative. "I took a look, and there was no news in the industry, and neither Paramount nor Focus was moving. So, it should not be. I’m wondering when you’ve gotten so familiar with them for new work invitations, and you have called them twice."
The Coen Brothers are industry leaders in the field of independent films, and their influence in the industry is beyond doubt. When they were fledgling, they were always small independent companies in charge of investment and production, and Twentieth Century Fox was in charge of distribution, and this was the case throughout the 1980s. After they became famous, their right to distribute their works caused a lot of competition.
In the past few years, the four works of the Coen brothers were divided by Paramount and Focus Pictures, and a stable cooperative relationship has gradually formed. So, to inquire about the latest developments of the Coen brothers, Andy first asked these two companies, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
Focus Pictures is a leader in the independent field and is under the umbrella of Universal Pictures. The long-term cooperation between the Coen brothers and them is understandable; but why they would rather choose a top company like Paramount than the Weinstein brothers What about cooperation? This is a digression, but it is also a heavyweight in the industry.
In fact, in the years after the millennium, the Coen brothers worked with the Weinstein brothers twice. One is the leader of independent films, and the other is an important promoter of independent films. The cooperation between the two parties is definitely a strong alliance.
At that time, the works of the Coen brothers were invested and produced by small independent companies, and the Weinstein brothers, who were still working at Disney's Miramax Films at the time, took over the distribution. It stands to reason that this should be a "one plus one greater than two" cooperation, but in fact it is a total disaster.
After working together twice, they parted ways.
According to industry rumors, the cooperation between the two brothers is very unpleasant, especially Harvey and Joel, who have strong personalities. The two clashed repeatedly and even almost fought. Although these rumors have not been accurately implemented by the parties, it is not surprising that people in the industry are convinced.
Because Harvey Weinstein is a well-known "scissors hand" in the industry.
As a producer, Harvey’s goal has never changed. Oscar is the only priority. In order to impact Oscar, Harvey will directly intervene in the post-editing and production work of directors and editors.
In fact, it is a big taboo in the industry that producers get involved in editing work.
For the production companies, in order to ensure the quality of the finished product, they firmly control the final editing rights. Only a few top directors can enjoy the privilege of final editing rights. Some small directors even have the right to make the first edition. No; but even so, the producers will not directly interfere with the editing, but hire an editor they trust to do all the work.
The Union of Editors of the United States has extremely stringent regulations on the distribution of functions of film editing work.
However, Harvey completely ignored all relevant regulations, repeatedly interfering in the work of directors and editors, and even edited the works beyond recognition. If the director disagrees, Harvey will even pry open the lock of the editing room, and then hire an editor to complete the editing according to his own ideas, and hesitate to tear his face with the director.
For this reason, Harvey won the title of "scissors hand", and at the same time was spit out and squeezed out by countless directors.
But why is Harvey's position in the industry getting higher and higher? First, Harvey’s toughness is aimed at the target. The small directors who are not unknown are the main victims. The powerful directors, Harvey knows how to score; second, Harvey’s public relations capabilities in the industry have nothing to say. With a vicious vision and accurate positioning, the era of awards season was created.
Character is one aspect, but strength is another aspect.
The most famous example is Alfonso Cuarón’s friend Gilmo del Toro.
The Mexican director entered Hollywood in the mid-nineties, even earlier than his other two fellows, because his interests and strengths were in monster movies, which was the most prosperous era of monster movies at that time, so, Gilmore's "mutant DNA" in charge of writing the script was appreciated by the Weinstein brothers and signed a contract in the name of Miramax Films to invest in production.
In 1997, after the filming was completed, Harvey was very dissatisfied with Gilmour's edited version. He had a tough posture and even locked Gilmour out of the editing room. Harvey completed the editing himself-amateur level.
Gilmour is a gentle and friendly director, but under his sturdy body he always maintains a childlike heart, so later did he shoot the charming fairy tale works like "Pan's Labyrinth"; face ha Wei's strength, Gilmour stayed outside the editing room, watching his hard work completely ruined, but he was helpless, and almost fell into depression during that time, unable to extricate himself.
Later, after "Variant DNA" was released, bad reviews were flooded. Harvey promptly chose to give up this work, without any hesitation, and went straight to the cold palace. Gilmour, who was still a rookie at the time, fell into a dilemma that called the sky and the ground without a way, and his career was almost ruined.
Although Gilmour in 1997 was just a small director, James Cameron admired his talent and the two people had a good personal relationship.
At the Oscars ceremony that year, the "Titanic" swept the army and reached the top; and the "Shakespeare Love History" that created the awards season and college public relations had to wait a year before it made it onto the stage of history. At that time, Harvey is still consolidating his career foundation step by step.
At the backstage of the awards ceremony, Harvey found James, bragging about his respect for artistic creation and appreciation of independent artists, hoping to cooperate with James. The furious James mentioned Gilmour, and the two of them tore their faces in the backstage and fought violently.
James almost picked up the golden figure in his hand and smashed Harvey's head. The staff on the scene pulled the two people away in time, indicating that they are still broadcasting the Oscars, not to make trouble, and this has stopped a riot.
One will succeed in everything.
Everyone is praising the Weinstein brothers for creating an era, but behind their success, they are stepping on the bodies of countless art creators-in order to impact the awards season, they will acquire the distribution rights of at least 30 works every year , If there are more, it may be fifty or sixty, but there are only three at most, or even less, entering the sprint stage of the awards season.
The Coen brothers with strong personality, full confidence and high prestige, and the cooperation with the Weinstein brothers not only did not lose the wind, but also faintly gained the upper hand. After two hastily cooperated, one shot and two fell apart. Even if the parties did not personally authenticate, the tragedy of the scene can be expected.
The topic returned to the Coen brothers. Since there is no news from Paramount and Focus, their purpose of looking for Renly is in a maze.
"Perhaps, they are to invite me to attend the Sundance Film Festival next year." Lan Li said the most reliable guess.
The Coen brothers will definitely return to the Sundance Film Festival every year and spare no effort to promote independent films; and Lanly is among the younger generation in the past two years ~www.novelhall.com~ has made the most outstanding contribution to independent films The actors, this can undoubtedly increase the attention of young people to Sundance.
Andy patted his belly again with the palm of his hand and nodded gently, confirming this guess.
For actors, the film festival is not only a platform for self-expression, but also an advanced stage-Robert Redford is the initiator of the Sundance Film Festival. Through this platform, Robert's strong network is shown , But also promoted Robert's position in the industry.
Similarly, members of the jury of the three major European film festivals. As long as you can be invited, in addition to honor and attention, industry contacts and peer recognition, the harvest is also invisible on the surface.
"Of course, it is also possible that they just want to invite me to the party." Lan Li added again, which made Andy chuckle, "Then what did you do in the end, gave them my contact information?"
"Yes." Andy nodded, pushed away tactfully for the first time, and finally gave Roy's contact information. After all, the Coen brothers seem to be strangers, and Renly's personal contact information should not be disclosed casually. Work matters. It was possible to complete the communication through Andy; but the second time, there was no rejection.
"I'll inquire again." Andy felt that Sundance's statement was more reliable. The Coen brothers have always done their best for the Sundance Film Festival. "Also, the promotional schedule for the movie has come down, and it has been confirmed at the Almeida Theater. There is no problem. I missed the performance for two full weeks. This time, who will attend the premiere? Please explain to Nathan. Then make a list of guests and send it to me."
"No problem." Lan Li nodded neatly and agreed.
"The Edge of Tomorrow" is about to be released, and Renly must be absent from the Almeida Theater for two weeks to return to North America for publicity.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
