"Director Wu, it seems that today is destined to be your lost night!"

When Zou Wenhuai saw Wu Jianye, he showed a faint smile, and there was a trace of narrowness in his expression. Now the relationship between Fengge Entertainment and Jiahe is very complicated.

The two sides have both cooperation and competition, but now Fengge Entertainment's momentum in Xiangjiang has firmly surpassed Golden Harvest. If Golden Harvest didn't have Cheng Long's famous brand, I am afraid that even New Art City would not be as good.

"To each other, to each other!" Wu Jianye said with a smile, Golden Harvest also didn't win much at the Academy Awards this time.

"Director Wu didn't come here just to say hello to an old man like me, did he?" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Zou is still very good. No, the "Crazy Story" invested by our company won the best film of this year's Academy Awards. To celebrate, Fengge Entertainment is going to hold a grand celebration dinner in the peninsula. Didn't you come to invite Mr. Zou and the stars of Golden Harvest!" Wu Jianye laughed.

Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up, "Director Wu is going to declare war on the Academy Awards."

Wu Jianye smiled: "It's not a matter of declaring war, but since the other party thinks that we are not that important, then there is no need for us to attend their celebration banquet!"

Zou Wenhuai said: "Fengge Entertainment has a big business and is backed by Yaoguang Group. Naturally, I am not afraid, but now the influence of the Golden Image Awards is getting bigger and bigger, and our Golden Harvest does not have such a big background as Fengge Entertainment."

Old guy, it really is true that if you don’t see a rabbit, you won’t spread an eagle. It is true that the influence of the Academy Award is gradually strengthening, but it is impossible to say that Golden Harvest is afraid of the Academy Award. Benefits only!

"In the past two years, Golden Harvest intended to allow Aaron to develop in Hollywood, but the result was not satisfactory. If Hollywood's Phantom Entertainment is willing to cooperate with Golden Harvest to make a joint film with Aaron as the absolute protagonist, I don't know what will happen to Mr. Zou Look at this matter!" Wu Jianye laughed.

Zou Wenhuai had great ambitions. When Li Xiaolong was there, Zou Wenhuai seemed to rely on Li Xiaolong's status to create a world in Hollywood. Unfortunately, Li Xiaolong died young, and then Golden Harvest launched Cheng Long , In the past few years, Cheng Long was pushed to Hollywood, but Cheng Long was not satisfied with the climate, and there was no way to integrate into the Hollywood production model.

If he didn't get the corresponding respect, he would naturally fall into the sand in the end.

But this does not mean that Golden Harvest has lost its determination to develop in North America. It is just that Golden Harvest is an outsider to Hollywood. You can only find some independent movies.

As a result, except for Golden Harvest's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie, all other investments ended in losses.

It can be said that North America is Golden Harvest's psychological pain. I thought Hollywood was a voluptuous beauty who could be conquered in the past, but the other party turned out to be a big man, who beat Golden Harvest back with three punches and two kicks.

Phantom Entertainment is now the most powerful independent production company in Hollywood other than the Big Seven. It can be said to be famous. In the New Year's file that has ended in North America, Phantom Entertainment's "Home Alone 4" once again achieved a box office of 1.46 million US dollars , the global box office is as high as 2.13 million U.S. dollars. Although it did not achieve the expected goal, its investment ratio is still the envy of the Big Seven.

If it is possible to establish a relationship with Phantom Entertainment, then it will definitely be a wonderful move for Golden Harvest.

"The relationship between Director Wu and Phantom Entertainment?" Zou Wenhuai asked tentatively.

"Old Zou forgot? The main investor of "The Last Emperor" is Phantom Entertainment, and Phantom Entertainment has always wanted to expand the market in Southeast Asia. Linda, the general manager of Phantom Entertainment, and I are also good friends. If time permits, I can arrange your meeting immediately!"

Wu Jianye looked at Zou Wenhuai with a smile on his face, there was such a big piece of pie in front of Zou Wenhuai, so he was not afraid that he would not take the bait.

As for Cheng Long's development in Hollywood, it was true that Cheng Long and Hollywood did not agree with each other at the beginning, but in another time and space, as Cheng Long became more and more stable in Southeast Asia, and his film videos became popular all over the world, Cheng Long finally gained independence. Quan, filmed "Red Fan District" with its own style, and officially entered the mainstream film market in North America.

It's a pity that Cheng Long was 41 years old at that time, and he missed his golden age after all.

If Cheng Long can be allowed to enter Hollywood in advance, one can increase the influence of Chinese people in the world, and two, Phantom Entertainment can also have an extra trump card.

Golden Harvest has little influence in Hollywood, which means that if Golden Harvest wants to make a name for itself in North America, it must be attached to a powerful company.

As for Golden Harvest in the later period relying on Cheng Long to create a reputation in Hollywood and want to stand on its own, it has no effect on Phantom Entertainment, because Phantom Entertainment will only become stronger at that time
"Haha, since your company's "The Story of Epilepsy" won the best film, I should congratulate you. I and Jiahe's artists will come to celebrate Director Er Dongsheng in person later!" Zou Wenhuai suddenly laughed.

Seeing where Wu Jianye was talking and laughing happily with Zou Wenhuai, Yu Zheng became more and more uneasy, and wanted to go to ask about the situation, but saw that Wu Jianye had separated from Zou Wenhuai.

And at this time, as a representative of the Academy Awards, she also has to go out to answer reporters' questions.
So Yu Zheng didn't see that after Wu Jianye finished talking with Zou Wenhuai, he came to Lei Juekun again.

Although Lei Juekun is the big boss behind New Art City and also has a real estate company, but for Lei Juekun, the most important asset is the Kowloon Bus.

It is not to say that Kowloon Bus makes a lot of money. Kowloon Bus is a public utility of Xiangjiang, and its interests are clearly stipulated. But as long as Kowloon Bus is in hand, it can help Lei Juekun promote his own real estate company. In the past two years, Lei Jue Kun also reaped a lot of benefits from it.

In addition, Jiulong Bus is a family business of Lei's family and was founded by his father. The Lei family's affection for Jiulong Bus can be said to be very deep.

It's just that now Lei Juekun's control over the Kowloon Bus is getting weaker, because in 81, Sun Hung Kai had already invested in the Kowloon Bus. .

The image of Lei Juekun is not like the big boss behind the scenes of an entertainment company, but like a general who fights and kills, he is very dignified.

"Director Wu, it's just a Golden Statue Award, don't take it so seriously, it won't work this time, come again next time!" Lei Juekun said loudly.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether the award is an award or not. Anyway, it's over. Instead, the next thing is more important. We, Fengge Entertainment, are going to hold a celebration banquet for "The Story of Epilepsy" tonight." , and now I specially invite Mr. Lei and many actors from New Art City to participate."

Lei Juekun's expression froze, and then he smiled and said, "Director Wu is trying to discredit the Academy Awards, but Director Wu may not know that, as a domestic director, you will go back after the awards ceremony is over. But our New Art City will continue to develop in Xiangjiang, so it’s too embarrassing to turn against the Golden Statue Award, so how about tomorrow, how about I personally host a banquet for Director Wu?"

This was Lei Juekun's attitude after he knew that Wu Jianye was the big boss behind Fengge Entertainment. If Wu Jianye was just an ordinary mainland director, Lei Juekun would not even talk to Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye was not dissatisfied with Lei Juekun's refusal, "It's a pity, our Yaoguang Group also invited Mr. Guo from Sun Hung Kai for this celebration banquet, it seems that Mr. Lei will not have the chance to meet today Already!"

Lei Juekun's expression became a little cloudy and uncertain. The news that Yaoguang Group holds 6.36% of Sun Hung Kai Properties' shares has long been announced by the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission. This shareholding has exceeded the majority of Sun Hung Kai's shareholders. , is one of Sun Hung Kai's major shareholders.

And there is news that Yaoguang Group is still continuing to buy Sun Hung Kai’s shares in the stock market. If Yaoguang Group behind Fengge Entertainment really comes forward, then Sun Hung Kai’s Kwok must save face. Thinking of Lei Juekun’s A forced smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, since director Wu has spoken in person, we at New Art City have to give face. We will arrive at the celebration banquet later, and our New Art City will arrive on time!"

"Then I welcome Mr. Lei to fight!" Wu Jianye smiled and shook hands with Lei Juekun.

Standing behind Lei Juekun, Huang Boming, the bald guy, and the three giants of Ishida New Art City, were also full of thoughts at this moment. None of them thought that Wu Jianye, a director from the mainland, would actually fight against the Golden Image Awards , at this time it seems that it still occupies the upper hand.

This Wu Jianye is not easy to mess with!
After Wu Jianye finished chatting with Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, he returned to his seat on the set and said with a smile, "Let's go!"

Zhao Fei and the others didn't know what Wu Jianye was doing, but seeing him giving orders at this moment, they also followed him out.

When they walked out of the venue, the lights were still flickering outside the venue, and countless reporters and media were waiting outside to interview the actors, directors, and singers who came out of the venue.

At this time, Yu Zheng was also surrounded by many reporters. Yu Zheng said with a smile on his face at this time: "The holding of this year's Academy Awards was very successful. Practitioners, it can be said that this is an improvement for Xiangjiang Film, and we will have more confidence in the development of the Hong Kong Film Awards in the future."

"At this year's Academy Awards, there are two films that are inextricably linked to the mainland. One of these two films received five nominations, and the other received six nominations, but they both received zero eggs in the end. Excuse me. Is this because the Academy Awards have to consider the influence of Wanwan, do you have any concerns?"

Yu Zheng's expression froze, and then he said with a smile: "Of course not, the selection of the Academy Awards is absolutely fair. I am also very sorry that the two films "The Last Emperor" and "Fire Dragon" failed to win awards, but I can only say The films selected for the Academy Awards this time are all excellent films."

"By the way, after the awards ceremony, our Academy Awards will hold a celebration banquet at the Regent Hotel. At that time, all participating films will participate. I think it will be a grand gathering for filmmakers from the three regions!"

With the end of Yu Zheng's answer, the reporters also saw Wu Jianye and others who had just walked out of the venue.

Immediately surrounded the past, although there is another movie "Fire Dragon", everyone already knew what Li Hanxiang did in Xiangjiang. He is one of the most powerful directors of his generation, but that is just past tense after all, how can Wu Jianye be as topical as the current Wu Jianye.

Yu Zheng also saw Wu Jianye, and she had already thought it through just now. Although Wu Jianye had just announced in the venue that he would hold a celebration banquet for "The Story of Epilepsy", she thought that as long as she went over and delivered it to Wu Jianye A few soft words to show him his concerns about the Academy Award should be fine.

After all, the Golden Statue Awards have become the norm now, and Feng Ge Entertainment should not make too much trouble with the Golden Statue Awards.

"Director Wu, just now Yu Zheng said that the films nominated for the Academy Awards this year are all excellent films. Do you agree with this statement?" A reporter asked.

Wu Jianye said with a smile on his face, "Of course I agree. As Hong Kong's local film awards, the Golden Statue Awards are naturally excellent films!"

After hearing Wu Jianye's answer, Yu Zheng regained some peace of mind. Yu Zheng has already decided that if Wu Jianye can't afford to be a moth in this year's Golden Statue Awards, the next Golden Statue Awards will make appropriate compensation for Fengge Entertainment. of.

But obviously the reporters were not prepared to just let Wu Jianye go, or let go of the entanglement between Wu Jianye and the Academy Awards.

"Since Director Wu admitted that the films shortlisted this time are all excellent films, but the film "The Last Emperor" directed by Wu did not win any awards, does it mean that Director Wu has admitted that his films are not as good as other films? Is your movie good?"

"Director Wu, during the TVB live broadcast just now, the TVB host once doubted whether the movie "The Last Emperor" is suitable for the audience in Hong Kong. Do you have any good response to this evaluation?"

Facing the media's long-term questions, Wu Jianye said with a smile: "The excellence of "The Last Emperor" is unquestionable. No mother would say that her child is ugly. As for the fact that "The Last Emperor" did not win an award. , I can only say that it is the regret of the Academy Awards, not the regret of "The Last Emperor"!"

"Wow!"

As soon as Wu Jianye's words came out, the reporters present immediately exclaimed. No one thought that Wu Jianye, who was still humble and polite just now, would directly open the Golden Statue Award, saying that it was not a pity for "The Last Emperor". It's the regret of the Academy Awards.

But this made the reporters even more excited.

"At the same time, I also have reservations about the opinions expressed by the TVB host. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. This is a truth that even children understand. He didn't even watch the movie "The Last Emperor", so he said This movie does not meet the aesthetics of Hong Kong audiences, I can only say that he is irresponsible to Hong Kong audiences, as the largest TV station in Hong Kong, he made such unprofessional comments, I doubt the professionalism of TVB!"

Wu Jianye's words were like two depth water bombs, which directly fooled many reporters at the scene.

"Director Wu, are you criticizing the difference in treatment at the Academy Awards and the unprofessional TVB?"

"If you have to think so, I have no objection!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Many reporters showed ecstatic smiles. They didn't care about the grievances between Wu Jianye, the Golden Statue Awards, and TVB, but such explosive news could bring extremely high sales to their newspapers, that's for sure.

Yu Zheng's complexion has completely darkened, she did not expect Wu Jianye to be so merciless.

But what surprised her even more was still behind.

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang also came out, stood beside Wu Jianye, and said with a smile: "Because of the excellent box office of "The Story of Epilepsy" invested by our company, we decided to hold it at the Peninsula Hotel later. It is a grand celebration banquet, and all journalists and friends are welcome to attend!"

Jiang Zhiqiang didn't say that it was to celebrate "Crazy Guy" won the Best Picture Award at the Academy Awards, but he said it was an excellent box office.

At this time, many reporters are recalling whether the box office of "The Story of Epilepsy" is very high?
