Chapter 262 Behind the Scenes
Speaking of the fat guy Harvey, oh, no, Harvey is still quite young now.

Even though white people in Europe and America are generally mature and old, Fang Hexuan can be sure that the other person is definitely no more than 40 years old.

The Harvey Weinstein I met in my previous life, to use Chinese words, was a man with a big belly, a fat head, a face full of flesh, and a bad look.

You can tell at first glance that this kind of person is not someone you can easily deal with, but many Chinese investors have been deceived by him and have no way to appeal for justice.

At most, it's like a small cannon, blasting the other party in front of the media, but it's useless!

Fang Hexuan still remembers that it was the year before Mao’s First Battle, which was 2017.

At that time, many big players in the country formed groups to go to the United States to speculate in real estate and invest.

These old-fashioned people don’t understand high technology and don’t dare to invest blindly, but they must visit Silicon Valley when they go to the United States.

Fang Hexuan happened to be on an inspection trip in Silicon Valley at that time and met this group of people.

Then he was invited by these people to attend an investment dinner hosted by Harvey Weinstein in Los Angeles.

With the intention of seeing the world, Fang Hexuan agreed.

Just like that, from Silicon Valley to Los Angeles, from communicating with technology elites to listening to the fat guy Harvey bragging, Fang Hexuan completed his spiritual sublimation.

That was the first and certainly the last time he saw Harvey in person.

The next time I heard about him was when I saw the “MeToo Movement” on the political and economic pages.

Then, this fat guy successfully occupied the entertainment and political and economic pages of many countries.

Fang Hexuan was thinking at the time that there were already some small cannons in the country who had warned everyone, but there were still some fools with money in their pockets who were willing to invest in him.

It cannot be denied that the fat guy is really good at deceiving people.

However, faced with the vigorous feminist movement that swept across the United States, Harvey was helpless even if he had a hundred eloquent mouths.

Afterwards, Fang Hexuan no longer cared about this guy's fate, because the ending was already decided.

Looking at the handsome man in front of him, Fang Hexuan was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately, then asked with emotion:

"Miramax?"

Hearing this, Harvey's eyes lit up and he immediately showed his signature smile. He bowed in a flattering manner and wanted to extend his hand but seemed to realize that it was a bit presumptuous.

"Yes, yes, my film company is called Miramax. Do you know me, Mr. Fang?"

Fang Hexuan noticed all his little movements. He took the initiative to extend his hand and said with a smile:
"I've learned about every production company in Hollywood. Your company is well-known even in the Hong Kong film industry."

Harvey felt extremely comfortable with these words, and the fake smile that made people frown just now was now completely replaced by a smiling expression with wrinkles all over his face.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang and DreamWorks Movies. You are well-known in Hollywood. You are my idol!"

When Fang Hexuan heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Damn, this is just like meeting a star and saying you are his/her fan. You will feel unhappy, but you still have to smile and thank him/her.

"Really? I'm really honored."

Harvey nodded very seriously, as if afraid that he would not believe it, and continued to explain:
“There is no billionaire more legendary than you, it’s unimaginable.”

“If you were born in the United States, you would inspire countless global citizens to pursue the American dream.”

Fang Hexuan smiled and nodded, then invited Harvey to sit down and chat.

I have to say, this bastard is really good at flattering people. How can he get their gratitude and money if he doesn't fool them?

"Haha, you're too kind. In my opinion, there are many entrepreneurs in your country who are more powerful than me, such as Bill Gates in Seattle and Steve Jobs in Silicon Valley." Harvey knew Jobs, but had never heard of Gates, so he could only nod in agreement.

Fang Hexuan ordered him a cup of coffee, and then asked straight to the point:

"Is Mr. Weinstein just passing by here, or did he come to see me on purpose?"

Harvey was somewhat embarrassed by his straightforward attitude. Why should he say out loud something that everyone already knew?

"Nothing can be hidden from Mr. Fang. I came here specially to see you."

Hearing this, Fang Hexuan's forced smile turned into a playful expression.

"Oh? My visit to Hollywood was relatively secretive. How did Mr. Weinstein know my whereabouts?"

Harvey knew that this kind of thing could not be concealed, but he did not want to expose some of his secrets, so he lied:
"I know some friends, and they told me. As for who they are, I'm sorry I can't reveal their names!"

He pretended to be mysterious as he spoke, but the reality was not like that.

Harvey Weinstein's Miramax was able to stand out among so many non-big Hollywood production companies in later generations, so he must have more skills than ordinary people.

Among them, Harvey has the intelligence that ordinary people do not have.

He set aside a sum of money from the company's finances to pay the front desk staff and managers of all the high-end hotels in Los Angeles.

Harvey had only one request for these people - if any top wealthy person came to Los Angeles and stayed at their hotel, they should call him immediately.

Although not all wealthy people are interested in investing in movies, you can always come across one or two no matter how unlucky you are.

In any top-level service industry, high-quality customers are a scarce resource, and the customer list of high-end hotels is always being updated.

Just like that, after Fang Hexuan checked into the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, his whereabouts were secretly leaked to Harvey.

If it were anyone else, he wouldn't be so attentive and flattering.

But Fang Hexuan is not only a world-class billionaire, but also a big player in the film and television industry.

In Harvey's opinion, Fang Hexuan was so young and so rich that it was impossible for him not to have the idea of ​​entering Hollywood.

Just by hearing that his DreamWorks had collaborated with Warner and 20th Century Fox, Harvey was certain that the other party must have ambitions.

That's right, Harvey wanted to cooperate with Fang Hexuan to see if he could get some dollars from him to make up for the company's production funding gap.

As a practitioner and player in Hollywood, Harvey Weinstein knows very well that without money, he cannot make good works, and without works, his film label will be worthless.

He is ambitious. Since founding Miramax, Harvey has always wanted to make it one of the Big Seven.

However, the huge number of works in the image libraries of the seven major studios is a stumbling block.

Without sufficient foundation, what qualifications do you have to stand on equal footing with the other six?

So, this is why the fat guy Harvey tried every means to attract investment from abroad.

It would be a disregard of the facts if Miramax said it had no fame today.

But to say how successful it is is absolutely bragging.

A big part of the reason for this nebulous situation is the lack of money, lots and lots of money.
