Chapter 623 There will be no more ([-] daily updates, please subscribe~)

Spielberg and Lucas did not think that Phantom Entertainment is now the largest shareholder of Oceanwide Cinemas. During the time they watched, Phantom Entertainment made too many moves.

The acquisition of Marvel, the acquisition of Ryan Publishing, the establishment of its own special effects company, plus its own film investment, all of these cost money.

In fact, not only Spielberg and Lucas didn't think about this matter, but other film companies didn't think about it either. No one knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Phantom Entertainment. "It's about to be released soon, and I'm not in a hurry.

Still promoting the movie in an orderly manner.

Of course, everyone thought that if this was the case, Oceanwide Cinemas would be the most likely to release the movie.

So for a while, Johnson's phone calls were almost blown up by the presidents of several major studios. They all mentioned the movie "Ghost Love" intentionally or unintentionally. At the same time, the meaning conveyed was to let Johnson not go his own way , otherwise you will face the consequences of having no films to upload later.

On this day, Wu Jianye, Linda and Johnson once again gathered at Phantom Entertainment.

"What should we do? Almost all the studios are calling now!" Johnson said anxiously, Oceanwide Theaters is now under his control, if Oceanwide Theaters ends up with no movie released, yes His blow was too great.

Although Linda didn't say anything, she was also looking at Wu Jianye. She also needed an answer. In Phantom Entertainment, besides Wu Jianye, she is the largest shareholder. Oceanwide Cinemas is also a subsidiary of Phantom Entertainment. If If Oceanwide Cinemas loses money, her economy will suffer as well.

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said, "Don't panic when you encounter something. In the final analysis, Spielberg and others formed a short-term alliance with the six major studios because of interests, and this alliance is also Not indestructible."

Linda said: "I know, you are very confident in your movie. If, I mean, if your movie has Waterloo at the box office, then Phantom Entertainment will not only lose this movie. The investment in the film, as well as the series of plans behind the company!"

Wu Jianye said: "I know all of this. As I said just now, there is no solution to this matter. What an alliance of interests fears most is a traitor in the middle. If there is a traitor, the alliance will actually collapse! "

Linda looked at Wu Jianye curiously, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Since they are combined in the form of interests, let's disintegrate them in the form of interests!" Wu Jianye said confidently.

"What is the specific method?" Linda asked.

During this period of time, Linda was actually under a lot of pressure. She originally thought that Phantom Entertainment would be able to sit back and relax with its own theater chain, but now it seems that her thinking was too simple before. It's been several days of meetings.

If Oceanwide Theaters was really boycotted by other production companies, then the movies produced by Phantom Entertainment every year would not be enough to cope with the movie broadcasting volume of an entire theater chain.

"You say, if the company plans to sell the copyright of the "Home Alone" series, how do you think other Hollywood film production companies will react!" Wu Jianye laughed.

Linda directly vetoed it: "No." Then she looked at Wu Jianye with some helplessness and said, "I know what you think, and you want to use the copyright of "Home Alone" as a weapon to knock on the door of the interest alliance , Although "Home Alone" has been refrigerated by our company, it doesn't mean that this series has no vitality, it only takes a few years for us to restart this series, this series is an important weapon for the company!"

"Home Alone" can be said to be the key to Phantom Entertainment's success. It was "Home Alone" that made Phantom Entertainment gain a firm foothold in Hollywood in the first few years of Phantom Entertainment's founding. If this series is sold, Linda can't accept this suggestion no matter whether it is out of emotional considerations or profit considerations!

Wu Jianye naturally understood Linda's thoughts, shook his head, and said: "I know what you think, but to be honest, the vitality of this series has been almost consumed by Phantom Entertainment, if it is sold now , for Phantom Entertainment, the loss is actually not that big, in the future you will find that Phantom Entertainment has too many IPs that will give you headaches, so you don't have to worry about this series at all!"

As a reborn person, Wu Jianye naturally knew what the next "Home Alone" was like. Except for the last "Home Alone", there were almost no works that could be sold.

As for Phantom Entertainment itself, there are a lot of IPs in its hands, such as the "Jurassic Park" series, the "Harry Potter" series, the "Marvel Universe" series, and the "Terminator" series.
It can be said that as long as these series are well grasped, Phantom is destined to become one of the biggest companies in Hollywood.

"No, I don't agree!" Linda said still stubbornly.

This is the first time Linda has explicitly expressed her opposition to Wu Jianye's decision.

Wu Jianye glanced at Linda and said, "If you disagree, then you can only wait until "The Love of Ghosts" is released. Just now you said if, but in my dictionary, there is no such word. , I firmly believe that this movie will be successful, as long as this movie is successful and "Back to the Future 3" fails at the box office, then their so-called alliance will actually cease to exist!"

Linda looked at Wu Jianye helplessly, and asked, "Is there no other way?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Yes, if Phantom buys another member of the Six Greats, their alliance can also be broken without attack!"

Hearing Wu Jianye's answer, Linda and Johnson rolled their eyes at the same time. Is it so easy for the Big Six to acquire it?
If it is the environment of the past few years, it is possible, but at that time Phantom Entertainment had no money. Now Phantom Entertainment has money, but the six major media groups have been acquired by large media groups. They are not short of money at all. Global, which is clamoring to be sold every day, also has a strong competitor, RB's Panasonic.

If they really want to acquire Universal, unless Wu Jianye continues to inject capital into Phantom Entertainment, it is possible to compete with Panasonic, but at that time, the shares of Linda and others will be further diluted, which is not what they want to see .

Besides, Linda and Johnson, as people in Hollywood, naturally know what kind of pit Universal is now, even the huge debts he bears are enough to drag Phantom down!
"Can't we find a more reliable way?" Linda said helplessly.

"I've already said the reliable way. Selling the copyright of "Home Alone" will not only allow Phantom Entertainment to make a fortune and make up for the investment in Oceanwide Cinemas, but also break their interest alliance. It's the best of both worlds. You Don't you want to?" Wu Jianye didn't forget to tease Linda at the end.

"And there is another advantage of doing this, that is, it can help Oceanwide Theaters to share the firepower. Phantom sells the copyright of "Home Alone", which in other people's eyes, is a helpless solution for Phantom Entertainment. As long as there is a production company If you accept this proposal, there will be chaos within their alliance for a period of time, and Phantom Entertainment will not even need to disclose the true relationship between Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas in the short term!"

Linda sat there for a long time without saying a word. Both Wu Jianye and Johnson knew that she was weighing the interests involved.

After a long time, Linda said: "Okay, but I will be responsible for this matter personally. I hope to get a good reward for the copyright of "Home Alone"!"

Wu Jianye gave Linda a thumbs up with a smile, and said, "That's right, you are going to become the boss of one of the world's largest media groups in the future, how can you be indecisive!"

Linda smiled wryly, and said, "What if I'm the boss, I'm not working for you!"

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "Then you have to sell all the shares of Phantom to me, and that's the real work for the company!"

Linda chuckled and said nothing.

Although Phantom Entertainment is experiencing his own difficulties, Linda knows that as long as he can survive this hurdle, the future will be infinitely bright for Phantom Entertainment. How could she sell her shares to Wu Jian? As for Ye, if it wasn't for Wu Jianye's money, she would have hoped to buy another part of Wu Jianye's shares.

Now that the matter has been decided, there is nothing left to discuss. It is nothing more than how much benefit the "Home Alone" series of movies can bring to Phantom Entertainment.

"Okay, since you have to be responsible for this matter yourself, then I don't care about it, but there is one thing you have to promise me, that is, when the movie "Ghost Love" is released, there must be at least 4000 people. The effect of showing on the same screen at the same time!"

Wu Jianye finally gave Linda an order.

It is already a very remarkable achievement in North America to be able to have 4000 screens screen the movie "Ghost Love" at the same time. Although the number of screens in North America has reached more than 3, some of them are non-mainstream. Cinemas and open-air drive-in theaters, so 4000 screens is already a very large number.

But this is not difficult for Linda, after all, the number of screens in Oceanwide Cinemas has exceeded 3400 screens.

In fact, they all know that the sale of the copyright of "Home Alone" this time is more about disrupting their interest alliance and finding film sources for Oceanwide Cinemas. not big!
"Understood, big boss!" Linda replied.

Wu Jianye chuckled, waved his hands and left.

For Wu Jianye, there is another big thing to be busy with today!

He has already received a call from Zhu Zhuan, who is going back to Los Angeles with Li Xiuming!
Wu Jianye is naturally going to pick up the plane!
Sitting in the car, Wu Jianye found that he was related to the station and the airport. His first Shura session started at the station, and his second Shura session started at the airport.

Although it can't be called the Asura field this time, it is probably impossible to have fun.

Thinking wildly, he came to the airport, but Wu Jianye didn't get off the car. After all, he was quite famous in Los Angeles. If someone caught him, it would be troublesome. This is not Xiangjiang. No one dared to report it when he gave an order. own news.

The North American media are worrying about not being able to find materials to smear themselves. If they know about this situation, it is estimated that feminism in North America will definitely come out to denounce themselves.

At this time, Wu Jianye is no longer worried about the blockade of Hollywood studios, but he is extremely troubled by these strange and various doctrines in North America.

I don’t know if North America has been strong for too long. They always like to define others by their own standards. For example, North America often blames other countries for their human rights issues.

Don't they think about their own problems?

If they really cared about the so-called human rights, how could they do such a thing to Syria? Maybe some licking dogs would say that it is not in their country, but do they really have the so-called fair human rights in North America?
This kind of thing is just used to deceive ordinary people and show some foreigners. Privilegeism in North America is even more serious than other places. In this country, it tells you what is real privilege all the time.

After a while, Wu Jianye saw Zhu Juan and Li Xiuming walking out of the airport, and under the protection of bodyguards, they got into Wu Jianye's car.

Li Xiuming was obviously a little nervous, while Zhu Zhuo gave Wu Jianye a hard look, but this kind of deterrence had no effect in Wu Jianye's view.

Anyway, now that everyone has tacitly agreed to these relationships, what else is there to worry about!

The three of them returned to the manor by car without saying a word. When they arrived at the manor, Zhu Zhuo directly helped Li Xiuming back to the room that had been arranged.

Wu Jianye sat idly in the living room, flipping through the TV, and happened to see an NFL game, Wu Jianye didn't change the channel, and watched it with relish.

In fact, he doesn't know much about the rules of the NFL, and he is just watching the fun now. I believe that someone will come down from the upstairs soon.

Sure enough, just as Wu Jianye thought, after a while, Zhu Zhuan walked down the stairs and came to Wu Jianye.

Without saying a word, he turned off the TV and said, "This is the last one!"

Wu Jianye understood what Zhu Yan meant, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there won't be any more!"

After finishing speaking, I saw tears flowing from Zhu Jue's eyes. This kind of silent tears is the most distressing. In these things, it is understandable that Zhu Jue was hurt the most.

Wu Jianye held her in his arms, wiped her tears gently, and comforted her again: "Don't worry, there won't be many people in the family anymore!"

With these four women, Wu Jianye really didn't plan to bring them home anymore.

Well, don't take it home
