In the early morning, the sunlight fell on the office through the glass, and the new week''s work was about to begin. Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside. A white man about 25 years old came in, with his briefcase in his hand. He walked a little fast. He habitually closed the door with a bang.

"Rick People who had been in the office immediately looked here angrily, and the older one, who was gnashing his teeth, warned in a low voice, "what are you going to do? Do you want to kill us all? "

"I..." Rick looks at the eyes of several colleagues. He''s just a newcomer. He doesn''t understand what''s going on What''s the matter? I That''s how I closed last week. "

Another whispered, "last week was ok, but not this week!"

Rick became more confused. "For Why not now? "

Someone reached out and pointed to the left, where Harvey Weinstein''s office was.

"Oh, I see." Rick suddenly realized, "is the boss in a meeting?"

The first person to warn couldn''t help covering his forehead. He was worried about this guy''s stupidity. Rick still didn''t understand. He just put his briefcase away and sat down in front of his desk.

In order to avoid being involved, or to vent the boss''s inexplicable anger on himself, the oldest man lowered his voice and warned, "Rick, don''t make any big noise on this floor today or in the last two weeks, especially close the door. Be sure to be quiet, otherwise, the boss..."

He raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck with a knife.

"This is..." Rick still doesn''t understand, "why is that?"

The old man shook his head, "because of a film, a film that the boss didn''t take and gave up."

Rick suddenly realized, "can''t it be" chainsaw thriller "

"Yes, that''s it." Another man answered in a low voice, and looked to his left, as if afraid that his boss would hear him. "The weekend just passed, the electric saw thriller got a good box office. When the boss came to the company today, he was obviously not happy."

Another said, "when I came here, I saw Jones Butler in the marketing department being called over. He was expected to be the boss''s scapegoat and vent bucket."

In one of the offices on the left, Jones Butler sat at his desk, his head slightly down, his dark face taut and silent.

Opposite her, Harvey Weinstein sat back in the big boss chair, with no expression on his fat face.

"Sorry, boss." Jones took the initiative to make a mistake in judging the market value of the film. "I want to let Butler know the value of the project."

She is not a newcomer to the workplace. She knows some basic rules of survival. Today is Monday, when the new North American box office charts are released. From the moment she came here, she knew that Harvey Weinstein was angry because he lost the project of "the thrill of the chainsaw". No matter who led the negotiation at that time, who forced Murphy Stanton to transfer the copyright at a low price Who, this mistake can only be borne by her.

If a subordinate makes a mistake, it must be a subordinate''s mistake. If a leader makes a mistake, it must also be a subordinate''s mistake.

Jones Butler understands that it is common in the workplace all over the world.

Her head has been slightly lowered, as if she was the one who made the mistake.

Now, she is very clear that she underestimated "the electric saw" and Murphy Stanton, especially the latter. She even took the temptation of Miramax''s $7 million plus a movie contract and turned to the Fox Searchlight.

This alone was far beyond her expectation.

Similarly, she and Miramax''s marketing department have also studied the market potential of the film. They think that if it works well, the box office of tens of millions of dollars in North America should not be a problem. With the revenue from outside Shanghai and other copyright aspects, Miramax hopes to make eight figure profits. [literature building]

but now it turns out that this is wishful thinking. I''m afraid that the final profit of the movie will be much better than expected!

Even doubling or even doubling is not a problem.

And this is still in the hands of Fox Searchlight, which is obviously not as good as Miramax''s distribution company. Fox Searchlight has invested very little resources in this film. The reason why "electric saw" can achieve such success is that it is in line with the market and the taste of horror film lovers.

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

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

However, people who look down on Murphy Stanton are not only themselves, but also the people opposite, right?

"This is a movie that should belong to Miramax!" Harvey Weinstein finally opened his mouth to break the silence. His voice was cold and stiff. "The marketing department and the film department should sum up why such a coming film will slip away from us!"Of course, the price you offer can''t satisfy Murphy Stanton''s huge appetite! The thought flashed through my mind, but Jones Butler would not say it foolishly.

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

Jones Butler got up and walked slowly out of the office.

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

After all, he is Harvey Weinstein. How can he completely press this kind of mistake on his subordinates?

Just seeing the latest statistics of the North American box office rankings of last weekend on the report, he felt a bit bored. He was about to eat the delicious steak in his mouth. Not only did he fly away, but someone behind him proved that it was actually the meat of Kobe cattle. How could this make people happy?

Harvey Weinstein looked down at the latest North American box office charts.

Top of the list was the third film in Universal''s signature Jurassic Park series, which won $50.7 million in three days over the weekend.

And in the second place, is that let him feel very dazzling name - "chainsaw scream"!

The production cost of this film is about $1 million. In the three days of last weekend, it took $17.27 million from North America and became the second place in the box office!

His inner assessment of the film''s North American box office is only about $15 million.

Facts have also proved that Harvey Weinstein has lost his eye sometimes.

What''s the cumulative North American box office of the film, plus the previous box office?

Harvey Weinstein quietly calculated in his heart for a while, and quickly came to the answer, 25.71 million dollars!

Isn''t that amazing? About 20 times the return on investment Harvey Weinstein suddenly felt a little chest tightness, can''t believe such a large profit, even slip away from his hands.

It''s only one week since the movie was shown. This is far from the final North American box office. Besides, there are overseas box office, video and television copyright revenues. What will the final profit be?

Even though many excellent films have been made in recent years, the estimated figures still make Harvey Weinstein feel extremely heartache!

In particular, the latter is like tearing his heart and lungs, laughing at his shortsightedness and ignorance of talents.

Along with it, there is a trace of regret. If he had known such a result, he would have bought the film at a higher price, instead of squeezing Murphy Stanton with numbers.

Harvey Weinstein felt even more uncomfortable when he thought of the name. The little director asked Bill rosis to drag him and Miramax, but turned around and signed an agreement with Fox Searchlight

Harvey Weinstein was very uncomfortable because of the suffocation in his chest. He stood up and walked twice, came to the French window, breathed a long breath, and finally felt better.

Murphy Stanton!

This name appears in Harvey Weinstein''s head again. Now there is no one else here, and he doesn''t have to hide in front of his subordinates. He admits that he has lost sight. This little director, who has no reputation, seems to know how to grasp the market and has his own ideas.

Will this be the next Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarantino?

Harvey Weinstein holds his chest in his hands and looks into the distance. He can bring Miramax to his present position. He is definitely not a mediocre who only knows complaints and regrets. Instead, he understands the importance of excellent directors to the film industry.

After discovering Quentin Tarantino, Miramax ushered in a rapid development. However, he can''t deny that Quentin''s films are a carnival for film critics and a small number of fans, but not for the public fans

However, I don''t have to worry about all this. I have to see to what extent this young director can achieve this work.

As the helmsman of an enterprise, Harvey Weinstein may have all kinds of quirks or inexplicable problems, but learning from the failure is the basic quality.

Up to now, he did not say it, but admitted in his heart that he underestimated each other too much in the negotiation between "chainsaw scare" and Murphy Stanton, which directly led to the failure of this operation and made Miramax lose the profits of tens of millions of dollars that he might have got.

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

He pressed the paper under the transparent glass layer of his desk, which is not only a reminder, but also a lesson!

In the new week, with more copies of "electric saw horror" in place, the number of screening theaters of this horror film has increased again, reaching nearly 2000 theaters at one stroke. The increase in the number of screening theaters has also made the film appear in front of more audiences. Moreover, the success after the expansion of screening, as well as the publicity and marketing campaign of Fox Searchlight, have also attracted many critics We should pay more attention to it.
