Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 457 - 378 Hollywood Tycoon_2

Because there are so many actors in the entertainment industry, no actor is indispensable, which provides a breeding ground for the unspoken rules. Those who do not accept the unspoken rules, unless they have strong backing, basically have no chance of getting ahead.

However, after the millennium, with the prevalence of the feminist movement, the cost of engaging in unspoken rules has increased.

Also, because the Hollywood film industry's operating mechanism is more robust, from project initiation to casting, filming, and marketing, there are mature operational processes, and everyone has their responsibilities.

The executives and producers of the seven major film companies are also just employees; their task is to make money for the shareholders. If they fail to make a profit, they will be replaced, and their power is greatly diminished. They can no longer do whatever they want and give roles to whomever they fancy.

As well as this, the film industry's unions are also monitoring and resisting various unspoken rules, protecting the rights and interests of the actors.

This has led to a decrease in media reports about unspoken rules, and the rules themselves have become more covert and civilized in their methods.

But that does not mean they do not exist.

Currently, the most severe unspoken rules in Hollywood occur within independent production companies.

Independent production companies, as opposed to major studios like Warner, Disney, Paramount, 20th Century Fox, Sony, and others, are smaller film companies.

They have unique operational models and creative philosophies and are freer in film production and marketing. They can select capable filmmakers to collaborate with rather than depending on the professionals from large production companies.

In terms of creative content, they have greater autonomy, do not overly focus on box office, do not cater to the market and the audience, and do not need to be accountable to capital, because the president of the movie company is often the company's major shareholder, just like Link's Palm Beach Films.

In short, independent films prioritize artistry and have more autonomy and innovation.

This independence also gives the presidents of independent production companies a lot of power.

For example, with a film invested by Palm Beach Films, Link can make the final decision on who to use as the director or lead actress, which also provides fertile ground for unspoken rules.

In today's independent production field, the Weinstein Company is considered the industry's leading company, and its founder Harvey Weinstein has, with his strong production and distribution capabilities, an immense influence in the film industry.

He has also been dubbed by the media as the savior of modern cinema, an Oscar-making machine for Best Actor and Actress, and a master of winning Oscars.

At various Oscars ceremonies, "Harvey" and "God" are the two names that award recipients thank most frequently, tied in the second place in their acceptance speeches.

Countless actors and directors have worked with him.

Including Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, Renee Zellweger, Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Quentin Tarantino, director Steven Soderbergh, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, all A-list celebrities.

He has successfully launched many classic films, including "Pulp Fiction," "Good Will Hunting," "The English Patient," "Gangs of New York," "Infernal Affairs," "Chicago," "Kill Bill," "Shakespeare in Love," "The Lord of the Rings," "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," "Cold Mountain," "Cinema Paradiso," and others, all of which have had a massive impact worldwide.

Many actors and films have won Oscars thanks to Harvey's efforts.

In the "Hollywood Reporter's" list of the 100 most powerful people in Hollywood, Harvey was named one of the most powerful figures in Hollywood for eight non-consecutive years, consistently ranking in the top ten.

Beyond that, he is also a spokesperson and 'money man' for the Democratic Party in Hollywood, with a close relationship with the Clintons, and the elder daughter of the current Obama administration interned at the Weinstein Company.

He is also Jewish and possesses strong background and network resources in the media world.

This has led Harvey to cover the sky with one hand in Hollywood.

Since the nineties, he has been sued multiple times for crimes of sexual assault and harassment, but because of his strong network of contacts in the media and judiciary, he continues to remain unscathed.

Link had seen similar reports before; Harvey Weinstein liked to invite actresses or models to his room to discuss work, then ask them to provide intimate services like massages, hinting at offering significant roles. Those who accepted would get opportunities, and those who didn't would miss out.

This is how Harvey played by the unspoken rules. Even if it got out, he could claim that the other party was willing, rather than coerced, which made it difficult for legal investigations.

Link hadn't expected to hear Jennifer Lawrence talk about it firsthand.

Nor had he expected Jennifer to reject Harvey.

After Harvey's downfall, Meryl Streep, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Jennifer Lawrence were seen as the representatives of 'Weinstein's women,' dubbed 'the three queens of Harvey.'

All three relied on Harvey's maneuvering to win the Oscar for Best Actress at times when they should not have won the award.

For example, after winning, Gwyneth was called 'Goop Queen,' and although Meryl and Jennifer were qualified to win, they did not achieve the award through normal means and subsequently faced much criticism.

Jennifer was also considered to have become famous through Harvey's support, and now she has rejected him, which is quite an interesting development.

Link thought it must have been his own emergence that offered her a better choice.

Compared to Harvey, he might not have the same clout in the film industry, but he was young, handsome, wealthy, of good character, on the rise in his career, and had greater potential and reliability than Harvey.
