Chapter 319 Harvey's Wife
There was no one else in the room. Harvey Weinstein sat and watched TV for a while. The entertainment channel was broadcasting the premiere of "The Departed".
Martin Davis led a cow onto the red carpet in a unique way.
All the fans and reporters in the audience were shocked.
“It's a bit interesting.” Harvey has never seen such a premiere: “Zhen Ta Ma is a talent.”
Unfortunately, this person is not easy to deal with and recently caused the Weinstein Films to lose a fortune.
Because of Heath Ledger's incident, the filming of "I'm Not There" was delayed nearly ten days from the normal schedule. Every day the crew delayed, the cost increased.
There was a knock on the door at this time, Harvey went over to knock on the door, and Matt Damon entered the room.
Harvey asked: "Shouldn't you be in Toronto for the film festival?"
Matt Damon watched the premiere on TV and said: "The crew of The Departed didn't take me seriously and didn't force me to participate in promotions. I came back to rest for two days and then went to London."
Harvey asked directly: "Aren't they going to help you get an Oscar nomination?"
"The Best Supporting Actor nomination is for Martin Davis, so..." Matt Damon shrugged.
Harvey chuckled: "Oscar for Best Supporting Actor? Martin Davis has a lot of ideas." His smile deepened: "Having ideas is a good thing."
Matt Damon said: "I heard that he had trouble with your crew in New York."
Harvey doesn't seem to care: “It cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
Matt Damon seemed to be complimenting him: "The Oscars are your special event."
Harvey thought of Pitt, who had been complaining to him about Martin, and said: "Rose McGowan was a little noisy after filming "Planet Terror."
Matt Damon understood: "I'm going to warn her."
Harvey's cell phone rang. His wife, Georgina Chapman, was calling. He went to answer the call: "Honey, is Toronto fun?"
Georgina said: "It's very interesting, why don't you come over?"
Harvey said: "I have a lot of things going on here, so I won't get over it."
After making the phone call and chatting a few more words with Damon, Harvey left the hotel with him.
In the hotel lobby, seeing the two people leaving, the three people from the News of the World immediately got together.
Lukaku said softly: "We have found Harvey's long-term private room, let's figure out a way next."
Courtois moved his neck and said: "Start at the hotel and monitor the phone calls in the room."
Azar reminded: "This is not New York. We are not on our own territory. We must be careful when doing things."
The three of them took action immediately.
Meanwhile, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto.
Martin came back from outside after finishing a promotional interview. Scorsese was going to treat him tonight, so he didn't bother to go upstairs anymore. He simply went to the resting area and found an empty space to sit down and wait.
At the next table on the left, there was a brown-haired woman sitting. Because of her outstanding appearance, Martin took a second look.
The other person is about thirty years old, tall and looks like a model.
This man also turned to look at Martin.
The two of them discovered and got to know each other at the same time.
Martin took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, Georgina."
Georgina has been friends with Kate Winslet for many years: "Hello, Martin, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Martin immediately mentioned their mutual friends: "Some time ago, Kate and I were filming in London, and Kate mentioned you specifically, saying that you helped design all the clothes she wears in public, which makes her look more beautiful."
Georgina laughed: "Actually, Kate cared about our sisterhood and gave me a chance to sponsor her."
Martin asked: "Remember that your Marchesa brand has opened a design store in Los Angeles, please leave me your contact information. I will take my friends to visit later."
Georgina's clothing brand is on the high-end route. She immediately took out a personal business card and handed it to Martin.
Similarly, Martin also gave her his personal business card.
Georgina knew that her husband had some prejudices against Martin, but she had her own social circle and did not care about the grudges in Hollywood. She was determined to create a new luxury clothing brand.
She was married to Harvey Weinstein, and she was also married to his personal network.
Without much effort, many big-name Hollywood actresses wore her high-end fashions and walked on the Oscar red carpet.
Georgina wants to further expand her network of contacts: “Every once in a while, I will hold a fashion party in New York or Los Angeles. You are welcome to attend.”
“I've been there and I'm very impressed.” Martin met Wes Craven at Georgina's fashion party that year: “I will definitely go again if I have the chance.”
Georgina smiled back.
There was the sound of high heels hitting the ground next to him. Martin turned his head and saw Cate Blanchett walking over.
Georgina waved gently to Martin: "It's time for me to go."
Martin stood up and said goodbye: "Goodbye." Georgina went over, took Blanchett's arm, and walked towards the door of the hotel together.
Blanchett was wearing an evening dress from Georgina's brand Marchesa today. She waited a little further away and whispered: "Martin Davis is a sinister person. You should be careful when dealing with him."
But what Georgina heard about Martin from her friend Kate was completely the opposite. She smiled and didn't take it to heart and said, "He can still eat me."
Blanchett was about to speak again, and the automatic door of the hotel opened, and Jack Nicholson wearing brown sunglasses walked in.
Seeing this old bastard, Blanchett immediately remembered what happened at Pinewood Studios in England.
Even though she was well-behaved, she couldn't help it. She was embarrassed and annoyed at the time.
Blanchett said coldly: "Shameless person!"
Who is Nicholson? He was a **** when he was young, was as famous as Marlon Brando in middle age, and became the leader of a trio of **** when he was old.
He stopped, took off his sunglasses, looked at Blanchett, and asked seriously: "Is your **** bruised and swollen? Do you want to do it again? You can do it here, I don't mind."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around looked over, their faces full of gossip.
Nicholson knew about the bad thing about the firecrackers at Pinewood Studios, and although he was misunderstood, he didn't care at all.
As the eldest of the threesome, it is not a big deal to take care of this little thing for the younger brother. He said loudly: "I love Blanchett. Last time I was in England, I accidentally knocked her on the **** when I was doing something..."
Although the actor's face is as thick as a city wall, Blanchett couldn't compete with Nicholson and shouted: "Shut up, you old bastard."
Nicholson laughed: "My room is at No. 9 on the 41st floor. You are welcome to come over at any time tonight."
Georgina also wanted to laugh, but couldn't. It was very difficult to endure it. She simply pulled Blanchett and whispered: "Stop making trouble, let's leave quickly. Don't forget that you have to participate in "Tower of Babel" Premiere."
Blanchett stopped talking to Nicholson and walked forward with a sullen face. When she arrived at the automatic door, she saw Leonardo watching the excitement with great interest.
The two have collaborated in the past few years. Although they are not friends, they are familiar with each other. She said: "You are really a bunch of bastards."
Leonardo shrugged and said nothing.
Nicholson, the old bastard, wasn't done yet. He turned around and shouted: "I'll definitely come over tonight. Don't worry, I'll be gentle!"
Blanchett was getting into the car and almost hit her head on the roof of the car.
Leonardo went over, hugged him and walked towards Martin: "You really don't want to lose face."
Nicholson said nonchalantly: "You and Martin are so young, but you have thrown away your face. I am over 60 years old, what do I need this face for?"
Martin waved: "This way."
The two of them came over, pulled out chairs and sat down.
Nicholson asked: "Am I loyal enough? I will bear the infamy for you! But I heard that Bale took a two-week break before returning to the set of The Deadly Magic."
Martin responded: "So, Leo and I wholeheartedly support you as the boss."
Leonardo said: "I just got out of the car and chatted with people outside, and I found that you and Georgina Chapman were chatting happily."
Nicholson asked: "Harvey Weinstein's wife?"
"Yes, that's her." Leonardo looked at Martin carefully and said deliberately: "As expected, you like beautiful women around thirty years old best."
Nicholson added: "Harvey wanted to deal with you, and then you targeted Harvey's wife? That's awesome, Martin, even an old **** like me has to admire you. We are the three of us who are the best at taking risks." The one who had the idea.”
Martin is quite innocent: "I just met someone and chatted with them for a few words, but how come it all changed in your mouth?"
Leonardo didn't hesitate and said to Nicholson: "I'm going to make an offer for $1,000. I bet Martin will definitely get Harvey's wife in the future."
Nicolson said: "I'd also bet on Martin getting Georgina."
Martin was angry: "I bet $2,000, absolutely not!" He thought for a while, but it was not right, and said: "There has to be a time limit. You can't wait twenty years to get your bet, right?"
“Limited to two years!” Leonardo said: “Man, you are going to lose!”
Nicholson felt that he had seen through everything: "He added a time limit, which clearly means he has no confidence."
Martin was too lazy to continue and quickly changed the topic.
The three discussed "Babel," which premieres tonight. This film stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett and is also considered one of the biggest competitors of "The Departed" during the awards season.
At nearly seven o'clock, Scorsese called, and Martin and the three of them went to the restaurant on the second floor to have dinner with director Scorsese.
After The Departed, regardless of the success or failure of the Oscar, Scorsese plans to take a two-year break and wait until 2009 at the earliest before shooting a new work.
Five marriages have put Scorsese under heavy financial pressure, but after years of non-stop film schedules, the high income is enough for him to stop and take a breather.
So, marriage is also a source of motivation for artists to create.
The more divorces there are, the more motivated artists become.
It doesn't matter to Martin if Scorsese wants to rest. Leonardo will be affected to a certain extent. In recent years, he has mainly cooperated with Scorsese.
But at Leonardo's level, there will be no shortage of good scripts and opportunities to collaborate with big directors.
To exaggerate, top feature film projects will go to Leonardo first. Those that he doesn't like will get their turn to others.
