Huayu since 1980

Chapter 622 "The Love between Humans and Ghosts" is not afraid of being banned (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

After the New Year in 1990, Wu Jianye didn't stay in Xiangjiang much. My mother just saw that Wu Qichen's freshness hadn't gone down, so she didn't plan to come back, so Wu Jianye flew back directly with Dai Zhen and Chen Le Yanjing.

At this time, Zhu Juan had already packed up, and they simply stayed in Yanjing for a day, then immediately flew to Los Angeles, and Wu Nianyi was handed over to Zhu Juan's parents to take care of them.

This was the first time for Zhu Zhuo to come to Los Angeles. After they got off the plane, they immediately arrived at their manor in Beverly Hills in the car they had arranged long ago.

Zhu Zhu, who had already been impacted by the Wu residence, was not too surprised by the environment here, but she was a little curious because she didn't see the person she knew.

"Where's that person?" Standing in front of Wu Jianye, Zhu Zhuo asked with a complicated expression.

Wu Jianye knew that Zhu Zhuan was asking about Li Xiuming, and said, "I've already returned to New York!"

"You brought a big belly back to New York?"

"Don't worry, someone over there will take care of her!" Wu Jianye said.

"Forget it, let's take it over. I came here from that time, and I know that what pregnant women need most at this time is care, not outsiders' care!" At this time, Zhu Yan had actually given up on correcting Wu Jianye's mistakes. These things don't matter anymore.

Wu Jianye smiled: "I'm not talking about this matter, people are afraid of you, not me!"

Zhu Zhuan gave Wu Jianye a white look: "I'm not a tigress, I'm afraid of what I'll do, forget it, you'd better book me a ticket to New York!"

Wu Jianye gave Zhu Jue a thumbs up, which naturally made him roll his eyes.

The matter in the backyard was left to Zhu Zhuan, and Wu Jianye came to Phantom Entertainment. Linda had already called Wu Jianye several times when she was in China, and she seemed very anxious, otherwise Wu Jianye would not Come back in such a hurry.

"What happened?" Wu Jianye asked directly after arriving at Phantom.

"Several major Hollywood studios have jointly issued an announcement in the circle that their theaters or theaters with cooperative relationships will not release the movie "The Love of Ghosts"."

Although the matter was very urgent, Linda didn't show much panic expression on her face.

Wu Jianye said in surprise, "Are they so united this time?"

You must know that because of the previous cooperation between Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media, Phantom Entertainment and several major Hollywood studios have been in a very tacit balance. Line, it is bound to cooperate with Phantom Entertainment, but now they do not cooperate with Phantom Entertainment, and they still speak together

Linda explained: "Of course it is impossible to be so united. It is because of the operation of Lucas, Spielberg and others that we have the current result!"

"Moreover, we have no way to refute the reasons given by the major theaters. After all, they have already signed a release agreement with Amblin Entertainment's "Back to the Future 3". Now that "Phantom Entertainment 3" is released ahead of schedule, they have nothing to do .”

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said, "This reason is such that people have no way to say anything!"

Linda asked: "Then what should we do now? Expose Oceanwide theaters in advance?"

The reason why Linda is not in a hurry is because Oceanwide Theaters has the hole card.

"How far has Oceanwide Cinemas developed?" Wu Jianye asked.

Johnson is now in charge of the expansion of Oceanwide Cinemas, and will also hand over these matters directly to Linda, so Linda is more clear about the specific matters here than Wu Jianye.

"Haha, you might as well ask me instead of asking Linda!" At this moment, Johnson's laughter suddenly came from outside Linda's office.

Sitting on his sofa, Wu Jianye saw Johnson walking in with a happy face.

"Tell me, how much did you spend in total?" Wu Jianye asked directly without talking nonsense.

Johnson said happily: "A total of 2.3 million US dollars has been spent, and it has never been so enjoyable!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Johnson and was also surprised. At the beginning, he injected 5000 million US dollars into Johnson, and then gave him another 8000 million US dollars. Now that the Chinese New Year has just passed, he actually spent another [-] million US dollars.

"You are really willing to spend money!" Wu Jianye complained.

Johnson laughed: "The easiest thing in the world is to spend money!"

"Then let's talk about your achievements!" Wu Jianye sat there and looked at Johnson leisurely. Now North American theaters are not as expensive as later generations, so 2.3 million US dollars is already a very large number.

Johnson laughed and said, "Now Oceanwide Cinemas has a total of 250 theaters and 3480 screens. It is truly the fourth largest cinema company in North America!"

After finishing speaking, Johnson looked at Wu Jianye begging for praise.

Hearing Johnson's result, Wu Jianye was quite satisfied, but when he saw Johnson's shyness, he put away his smile, "I'm so happy that I'm only fourth. If I become the first in the future, don't I want to be the first?" It's taking off!"

"Pfft!" Linda couldn't help laughing seeing Johnson's deflated look.

With the line of Fanhai Cinemas, Wu Jianye is not worried about the so-called joint ban, but Wu Jianye knows that as long as Phantom Entertainment announces this news, it does not mean that all problems will be solved, but it will bring more troubles. There are more problems, because Phantom Entertainment, a production company, cannot support a theater chain at all. If the remaining major production companies are determined to fight against Phantom Entertainment, then Oceanwide Cinemas will not be able to show Phantom Entertainment. If you want to entertain the movies you make yourself, then it is very likely that you will face the realm of no movies.

That's why Linda approached Wu Jianye to discuss this matter. After all, if this matter does not work well, it may bring a devastating blow to Oceanwide Cinemas, and Oceanwide Cinemas will become a phantom by then. A gold swallowing beast super big drag for entertainment!
Amblin Entertainment!
Spielberg and Lucas were sitting in the office. At this time, the expressions on their faces were very relaxed. This time, in order to snipe Phantom Entertainment's "Ghost Love", the two launched their own relationship and jointly sanctioned Phantom. entertainment.

You must know that this kind of relationship is not used endlessly. This kind of affection is used once less, and at the same time, you have to get a lot of favors. But fortunately, in the eyes of Spielberg and Lucas, the result Still pretty good.

"Now there is only one Oceanwide theater chain that has not agreed, and other theater companies have already agreed to our proposal!" Lucas laughed.

Spielberg said with a smile: "Don't worry, the relationship between the Johnson family of Oceanwide Theaters and Linda is already good. They have always been partners of Phantom Entertainment before. It is understandable that they have been thinking about it for a long time!"

"But now it's not just us who are targeting Phantom Entertainment, but the entire Hollywood is boycotting the movie "Ghost Love", I believe that even Oceanwide Cinemas must consider the consequences of the matter in front of interests! "

Lucas nodded and said, "That's right, but the relationship with Oceanwide Cinemas should not be so tense. Oceanwide Cinemas has been doing a lot lately, and it's obvious that Old Johnson is ready to formally enter the film industry. "

Spielberg said: "Don't worry, I believe that no one in Hollywood is willing to refuse our friendship!"

This is the source of the confidence of Spielberg and Lucas. The two of them can be said to be the two people standing at the apex of Hollywood. The theater and the production direction are a pair of complicated brothers.

The two sides cannot simply define who is more powerful, only a certain person will have a specific treatment method.

Spielberg is the most successful director and producer in Hollywood, and Lucas has the invincible IP "Star Wars" in his hands. The two of them have a higher voice than the presidents of the six major producers.

In addition, standing behind them is the entire Jewish population in Hollywood, they don't think they will lose this time!
Lucas said: "Now let's see the box office results of the movie "Back to the Future 3"!"

The reason why the two were able to persuade the theaters in North America not to show "Ghost Love" is because of the existence of the movie "Back to the Future 3".

Although the box office of the previous "Back to the Future 2" did not reach the expected 2 million U.S. dollars, the box office was as high as 1.18 million U.S. dollars after the North American release. Not bad for the Back to the Future series.

Now Hollywood movies, with a box office of more than [-] million US dollars, are already a very successful movie.

This also gave many theaters a lot of confidence in this movie.

Of course, it is impossible for Spielberg and Lucas to release "Back to the Future 3" in theaters across the United States. However, with the participation of several major studios, they will also send their own movies It will be screened in the theaters of my partner, anyway, as long as "The Love of Ghosts" is not released.

Spielberg said: "I am still very confident in this movie!"

Lucas nodded, "That's fine!"

He still believed in the gaze of his old friend.

Then Lucas thought for a while and said, "I think you should contact Phantom Entertainment!"

Spielberg was slightly taken aback, and said: "Why contact Phantom at this time, we should wait until the box office of "Ghost Love" hits the street before contacting them!"

Later generations have endless debates about who is the greatest director between Spielberg and Lucas, but if it is simply talking about who is the most successful in the film business, Lucas is more successful.

So Lucas now looks further than Spielberg.

"In the final analysis of this matter, we also hope to obtain the copyright of "Jurassic Park". If it is true that the movie "Ghost Love" is not available in North American theaters, then we will have to deal with Phantom Entertainment. Wu Jianye completely fell out, and now we have the chance to win, and we should show our demeanor at the right time." Lucas analyzed.

"As long as Phantom Entertainment and Wu Jianye can take out the copyright of "Jurassic Park", we can also help the movie "Ghost Love" to be released in North America, which is good for everyone!"

Spielberg asked, "Is this possible?"

Lucas smiled confidently: "Don't worry, "Ghost Love" is Wu Jianye's first film in North America, he will definitely value this film very much, and now he has no way out! "

"In the past, we didn't know the details of Wu Jianye. We thought he was just an ordinary director. Because of his help to Phantom before, he got Phantom's support now. But now it seems that even if he has no investment from the production company, He can still invest in this movie, so we shouldn't get into too much trouble with each other, and we also need Fengge Media's influence in Southeast Asia in the future!"

After listening to Lucas' analysis, Spielberg showed a clear expression, and said, "Yes, thanks to your reminder, all our losses before that will be forgotten? Don't forget that the people of Industrial Light and Magic were poached by him." It's been a long time!"

Lucas said: "Of course it's impossible to just let it go, but now our most important goal is to get the copyright of "Jurassic Park". As for the poaching of people in the digital field, we can deal with it slowly. You should take it step by step, don't worry!"

Spielberg nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll call Linda now!"

Spielberg then called Linda's office.

After Linda knew the meaning of Spielberg's call, she looked at Wu Jianye.

"what happened?"

"Spielberg said that he can help us break the blockade of "Ghostly Love" by the theaters, but I hope we can sell the copyright of "Jurassic Park" to him!" Linda covered the phone with a complicated expression He looked at Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye chuckled, and said: "It's a beautiful idea, tell him, it's impossible, and he doesn't have to worry about the release of the movie "The Love of Ghosts"!"

Linda smiled and nodded. Although the announcement that Phantom Entertainment is the largest shareholder of Oceanwide Cinemas will bring many problems to Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas, it is impossible for them to stop doing it because of the difficulty.

After Spielberg put down the phone, there was an expression of disbelief on his face, "The other party refused!"

Lucas' face changed, obviously he didn't expect Linda to refuse, you must know that Lucas's suggestion is the only way for Phantom Entertainment!

"What? Refused, why?"

"I don't know, I just told us not to worry about the release of "Ghost Love"!" Spielberg was also very unbelievable after he put down the phone.

Lucas tapped on the table and made a rhythmic sound: "What are they based on?"

"Could it be that Phantom Entertainment has reached a consensus with Oceanwide Cinemas?" Spielberg asked.

Lucas muttered to himself: "Are Oceanwide Theaters not afraid of doing this, and will offend the whole of Hollywood?"
