Chapter 659 Celebration Banquet ([-] updates per day, please subscribe~)

Inviting Wu Tianming to join Phantom Entertainment was not because of Wu Jianye's madness. First of all, Wu Jianye and Wu Tianming had a good relationship, and Wu Jianye didn't want Wu Tianming to have a bad time in North America.

At the same time, Wu Tianming is one of the few directors in the country who are pursuing and thinking. Wu Jianye doesn't want him to waste his business here. It's better to be a major that he likes than to sell dumplings!

Wu Tianming pondered for a long time. To be honest, he was a little moved by Wu Jianye's proposal, but at the same time he was also a little worried.

Although Wu Tianming is now selling dumplings, he has never given up his favorite film career, so he has been studying films from two countries during his stay in North America.

Through research, he also knows that the films of the two countries are still very different, and the one he is familiar with in China does not work here at all.

He was thinking about what he could do if he joined Phantom Entertainment?
If he can't show his ability, then he will become the object of help. Wu Tianming can't accept such a situation. Everyone has their own pride, and Wu Tianming is no exception.

"Director Wu, to be honest, I am very grateful for your help, but what can I do if I join Phantom? You also know that Hollywood and domestic filmmaking methods are fundamentally different, and North America pays more attention to film benefits. I went to Phantom, and Phantom would never give me a chance to make a film!" Wu Tianming said with a wry smile.

Wu Jianye nodded. He invited Wu Tianming to join the Phantom, not to ask Wu Tianming to be a director. Directors like Wu Tianming have their roots in China, and with the development of Chinese films, the soil of art films has also grown. It became very barren, so Wu Tianming's position became particularly embarrassing in the later stage. The posthumous work "Wan Birds and Phoenix" had to kneel down in the form of the producer to get the opportunity to arrange the film.

"Brother Ang, although there may be fewer opportunities for Phantom to make films, a film company does not only have the identity of a director. Now that Phantom has more and more connections with China, I think it's better for you to be in charge of domestic films. Contact business, so that you can contribute to Huaxia's movies in North America!"

This is actually the way out that Wu Jianye arranged for Wu Tianming. According to the plan for the next few years, Phantom will introduce 3-5 films in China every year, and they will be shown in independent theaters in Europe and America. The director of the film studio has a very deep understanding of domestic films, and I believe that letting him take charge of this matter will make the whole thing smoother.

Of course, these films must be mainly literary films. The domestic film market has not yet recovered, and it is simply impossible to open up the European and American markets with commercial films.

Wu Jianye believes that at this time in China, except for himself, no director can have a box office appeal in North America, and it is up to Wu Jianye to open up the European and American markets in the form of Chinese commercial films.

Sure enough, upon hearing Wu Jianye's arrangement, Wu Tianming's eyes, which had been devoid of energy, burst into a ray of light, and then he said worriedly: "It's just like this, will Phantom's side?"

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the situation on Phantom's side, I'll take care of it!"

Zhang Yimou smiled and said: "It would be great if this is the case, Brother Ang, my new movie "Ju Dou" has already been discussed with China and Phantom, and I will first participate in the New York Film Festival in September, and then in the When it's released, you'll be in charge of it!"

Although Wu Tianming has always been very opposed to the matter between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, Zhang Yimou has always regarded Wu Tianming as his elder brother. Naturally, I am very happy to cooperate in this way.

Wu Tianming also accepted Wu Jianye's arrangement at this time.

"Then I would like to thank Director Wu first!" Wu Tianming said, substituting tea for wine.

"Brother Ang is too polite!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Wu Yanyan who was on the side suddenly said, "Dad, you have already gone back to make movies, why don't you let me study movies too!"

Wu Tianming's expression changed, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Didn't we already agree?"

Wu Yanyan said aggrievedly: "You arranged it yourself, not what I thought." After finishing speaking, Wu Yanyan continued to beg: "Movies have had a profound impact on me. If I don't do it in this life, I will definitely regret it when I am 60 years old. Yes, if I try, even if I don't succeed, I will never regret it, so please pity your poor Yanyan!"

Wu Jianye looked at the father and daughter curiously from the sidelines. Although it was just a simple conversation, it could be heard from the content of the conversation that Wu Yanyan wanted to study movies, but Wu Tianming disagreed.

But after all, this was a matter between their father and daughter, and Wu Jianye didn't ask, but Zhang Yimou, who was on the side, knew more about the situation of Wu Tianming's family, and helped Wu Yanyan persuade Wu Tianming.

"Brother Ang, I think what Yanyan said has some truth. It's rare for a child to like this industry. I know what you are worried about, but the child always needs to grow up. It is impossible to survive under our wings forever. Since the child If you like it, then let her try it, at least you won't leave any regrets for the child!"

Wu Tianming sat there, silent for a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he hammered the table with his right hand, stood up suddenly from the chair, and helplessly said a sentence that made Wu Yanyan unforgettable: "Okay! You Go try it! If you want to enter the film industry, you can only rely on your own strength, don't think about relying on Lao Tzu to achieve success, even if you want to rely on Lao Tzu's help, it is unreliable!"

Seeing that his father finally agreed to his request, Wu Yanyan jumped up happily, "Thank you dad!"

As the hostess here, Zhu Zhuo said with a smile: "Brother Ang, since the child's matter is settled, let's eat first, dinner is ready at home!"

Wu Tianming looked at everyone in disbelief, and said with a smile, "Let everyone see a joke!"

Everyone also laughed, and went to the restaurant for dinner without saying anything.

On the way, Zhu Zhuan asked Wu Jianye in a low voice, "You said what if you don't want to work according to your arrangement?"

Wu Jianye said calmly, "I broke his leg!"

Zhu Zhu: "."

In fact, this is also Wu Nianyi's future fate. Wu Jianye created Nuo Da's family business. He can allow Wu Nianyi not to like the entertainment industry, but he has to accept Wu Jianye's family business. In the future, Wu Jianye The family business can only be accepted by Wu Nianyi!

This is his fate!

Wu Tianming, who solved his own problems, finally had time to care about Zhang Yimou's personal problems.

The two stayed behind the crowd, Wu Tianming asked in a low voice: "How is the matter with you and Xiao Hua?"

Zhang Yimou said with a complicated expression: "It's almost done. After I return to China, I will discuss the specific divorce matters!"

Wu Tianming sighed, and said, "I didn't expect you to come to this point in the end. Forget it, I am not the director of Chang'an Studio now, and I don't care about your personal problems!"

At the beginning, Xiao Hua had a quarrel in the factory because of the matter between Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, which made Wu Tianming very angry. It was not Xiao Hua who was angry, but Zhang Yimou. At that time in China, matters between men and women were a very serious matter. Zhang Yimou almost ruined his fledgling career in China by doing so.

Zhang Yimou sighed, "Let Big Brother worry about you!"

"Humph!"

There is more than one restaurant in the manor. After a few people came to the restaurant, the big meal prepared by Master Chen was already on the table. Wu Jianye asked his servants to bring a few bottles of Moutai that he found in Chinatown, and everyone sat around , chatting about domestic movies, Hollywood movies, but also lively!

In the next few days, Wu Jianye brought Wu Tianming to Phantom Entertainment, met Linda, and officially confirmed Wu Tianming's job in Phantom. Wu Tianming was going back to New York to deal with some finishing matters. Only then can we return to Los Angeles to officially join Phantom Entertainment!

And at this time, the celebration banquet of "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" finally officially started!

The top banquet hall in Los Angeles, Pfister Ballroom, is brightly lit and stars shine on this day!

In the middle of the banquet hall is a huge chandelier, matching the night decoration, like a sky full of stars.

The celebration banquet has already begun. Compared with the premiere of "The Love Between Ghosts and Ghosts", the celebration banquet is even more star-studded!
"Human and Ghost Love" became famous in the first battle, and completely reversed all the previous public opinion. Coupled with the development of Phantom in the past half a year, it has become more and more powerful.

Spielberg and others' soft ban on Phantom has actually existed in name only.

Hollywood is a huge vanity fair, and everyone is fighting for their own interests. Before that, they were unwilling to offend Hollywood Jews headed by Spielberg and Lucas because of the Phantom, but now it is different. Phantom and Wu Jianye's momentum has already been established, and no one dares to underestimate them anymore.

However, compared to Wu Jianye, Linda is more like the protagonist of this celebration banquet. There is no way to do it. Even if Wu Jianye succeeds, it is a successful movie. Although he has become famous, his background is still not enough. .

But Linda is different. As the president of Phantom Entertainment, she can be said to have a high position in Hollywood at this time, and she is the object of everyone's fawning.

Of course, for the top stars, directors and producers in the circle, they still have their own reservations.

To briefly summarize, at the beginning of the celebration banquet, Linda was surrounded by more quasi-a-list stars and directors, and Wu Jianye was surrounded by more friends who wanted to get ahead. Second- and third-tier movie stars.

As for Johnson, he is surrounded mainly by producers and the bosses of independent production companies. Who would let the current Oceanwide Cinemas be one of the few cinemas in North America!
Even though "The Love of Ghosts" has been successful, the acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas has not stopped. After "The Love of Ghosts" is over, Oceanwide Cinemas has once again received an investment of 8000 million. This acquisition is no longer the mainstream theater chain in North America, but the independent theater chain in North America.

It is impossible for a successful film company to release only mainstream films. They also need successful literary films to enhance the company's reputation.

"The battle this time is much bigger than the previous premieres!" Keanu Reeves raised his glass with a smile on his face!

Sandra Bullock nodded again and again. There are really big bosses gathered in the arena. Executives from [-]th Century Fox, Disney, Time Warner, Universal, Paramount, and Sony Pictures all came to the scene. This is unprecedented in the past. Dare to imagine, after all, Phantom is in direct competition with them now!

At the same time, Sandra Bullock also saw top Hollywood stars Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and others at the banquet.

You must know that they were the main players in Spielberg's camp back then, but now they came to the Phantom's celebration banquet. The signal released here is enough to shock many people!
In fact, in Hollywood, and even in the global entertainment industry, the relationship in the entire entertainment industry cannot be described as simple hostility. There are too many intertwined interests and calculations!
This world is not as simple as black and white. In fact, the gray area is the mainstream color of this world.

Wu Jianye chuckled, he wasn't surprised by the current situation, and said, "When "Speed ​​​​of Life and Death" is released in the future, the company will also hold a celebration banquet for you!"

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock also smiled happily when they heard what Wu Jianye said, because it means that Wu Jianye is very optimistic about this movie.

But now Sandra Bullock is very well behaved, there is no way, who made Wu Jianye stand next to his wife!
Zhu Juan made his official debut in Hollywood today, wearing a white long dress with bare shoulders, with an elegant temperament. Even in Hollywood, where there are so many beauties, Zhu Juan is not inferior to many women.

In fact, Isabel Adjani also saw Zhu Zhuan. Although she was surprised by Zhu Zhuan's beauty, she didn't have too much psychological fluctuation. The matter between her and Wu Jianye is long gone.

Moreover, the movie "Jurassic Park" is obviously a commercial giant, and it doesn't have much appeal to actors like Isabel Adjani.

At the same time, there is no shortage of good scripts in her hands now.

Different from Wu Jianye, Isabel Adjani and Mel Gibson are both European and American whites, and it is easier to integrate into the mainstream circle of Hollywood.

As for Wu Jianye, although he has become a hot new director in Hollywood today with "The Love of Ghosts and Ghosts", many people still discriminate against him as a Chinese director. On the surface, but now this kind of discrimination is well hidden by them!
Wu Jianye asked Zhu Zhuo softly, "How is it? Are you still used to this kind of environment?"

Zhu Juan understood that this was to create momentum for "Jurassic Park", and said with a smile, "It's okay!"
