Hollywood What If Chapter 302
Harvey Weiook a deep breath and sat down. But his mind did not settle.
'Why is this happening to me? I haven't done anything wrong. Why do people hate me?'
Harvey Weinstein was one of the major shareholders of Miramax, he was the current CEO. He started the pany with his brother, and so far their business has been good.
They couldn't pete with the Big Six, but most of the movies they produced won Academy Awards, which gave them a good amount of profit in the DVD market.
Videotapes were being obsolete, and most people had been using DVD pyers sihe turn of the tury.
For Miramax, as long as their movie won an award at the Oscars, they had a sure path to profit.
All they had to do ut "Award Winning Director/Actor" on the cover of the DVD and it would get people's attention.
The influence of the Academy Awards was strong at that time and people respected the Academy's taste in movies.
The st time Miramax promoted Good Will Hunting, they expected a good Oscar haul. But in the end they only got Best Supp Actor. No big deal, the movie still made money on the DVD market.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck distahemselves from him after Good Will Hunting. Well, a lot of people distahemselves from Harvey after The Bir Witch Projebsp;
But Harvey could not get over the fact that this was the nth time Grey Pictures had screwed him.
Harvey Weinstein had a strong e in Hollywood and he found out that Grey Pictures was the reason why his identity as the ior of The Bir Witch Project came out to the public. He was still angry about it... He actually wao hire a hit man, but he khe sequences if he did.
'I am not an evil person. I will never do anything bad to another person._
Harvey said to himself. He was not a bad persorongly believed.
Maybe he was just horny, so he did things to women? Or maybe he thought he was a saint who would never hurt anyone. Maybe he was delusional.
The #MeToo movement showed the true color of Hollywood, and Harvey Weinstein suffered the most.
It was actually sad that a bunch of news about sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and r*pe culture came to the surfa the 2010s, when this kind of stuff had been happening for a couple of decades. As if people were just hearing about r*pe for the first time... Well, the media just turned a blio the injustice of little people in Hollywood.
The I was the reason the #MeToo movement was successful in the first pbsp;
Actress Virginia Rappe was sexually assaulted in 1921. The rapist lost his career.
Director Roman Ponski raped a 13-year-old girl. The director fled the Uates. He was filming The Pianist this year. It was a mystery how the Academy allowed the director to participate in the Oscars.
Patricia Dougs, a movie extra, was r*ped by an employee of MGM. The actress was bcklisted in Hollywood after this i.
Injustice at its fi.
These are just some of the information about sexual harassment in Hollywood. If we were to list them all, this chapter might not be enough. I just wao say that Hollywood was never a paradise. A lot of creepy people lived there. Epstein Isnd and Diddy's parties were probably just the tip of the iceberg.
You know, the I was a fucked up pce, but it did some good. At least people had ptforms to speak their minds. Uhe news works that were bought and would ell the truth.
Too bad a lot of social media ptfot filtered in the decade. One day, people were no longer allowed to express their feelings.
"Fug shit--!"
Harvey Weinstein pounded his fists oable. No matter how much he tried to calm down, he could not get over the fact that Grey Pictures had screwed up his business again.
Grey Pictures and 20th tury Fox annouhat they would release Mr. And Mrs. Smith on August 7, 2002.
That sounds abht... But this would be a disaster for Miramax. Because their movie would also be released on the same day.
Spy Kids 2: The Isnd of Lost Dreams roduced by Miramax. Mind you, the produ cost of this movie was 38 million. Obviously, Miramax had put a lot of money into this projebsp;
However, Grey Pictures decided to release their movies on the same day. This would hurt the box office of Spy Kids 2 tremendously.
CCU movies always have a good opening.
It was impossible to ge the release schedule because Miramax had already talked to the ema Allianbsp;
Their initial agreement was that Spy Kids 2 would get 4000 theaters, but earlier ema Alliaold him that Spy Kids 2 could only get 3300 theaters.
ema Alliance decided to support Mr. And Mrs. Smith instead of Spy Kids 2. They gave it 4000 theaters on opening day.
This was enough to ehat Mr. And Mrs. Smith would make a lot of money on its first day.
This fact made Harvey Weinstein furious.
Out of spite, he decided to tact his usual middleman t young, unknown actresses to his office... He wao cool off.
He khe shit had hit the fan and it was impossible to ge it, so he might as well calm down... Despite the blood boiling anger.
Most of the time, Harvey would promise these young actresses that he would give them roles in his projects to ehem, and it worked.

[Author's note: Yes, I'm back. The typhoohe try, but it had a e back for some reason. What the hell, this typhoon almost ripped the siding off our roof and now it's asking for round 2? How a motherfug typhoon turn around and make a eback? What the hell is a Fujiwara effeyway? This isn't all.]
[This typhoon is probably the most devastating typhoon we have seen i years. The wind is so scary that I feel like our roof is going to be blown off, I'm not kidding. Some of my retives also suffered from the flood because their house is he river, luckily they are all fine. I feel sorry for the people and families who lost a lot in this disaster. I was hoping that this damn typhoon will never e again... But from the news report, Typhoon Kristine will probably return, fuck!].
