Huayu since 1980

Chapter 671 Just Believe in Wu Jianye

Spielberg and Lucas are both happy and sad at this time.

The two can be regarded as the most successful directors and producers in the history of Hollywood, but as of now, the entertainment companies of the two are still a level behind the large production companies, although they themselves are working with large production companies The president of the boss can have an equal dialogue, and sometimes even has the upper hand.

Now their opponent, Phantom Entertainment, is striding forward in the direction of a large production company and even a media group. Naturally, they are worried.

But the happy thing is that because of the expansion of Phantom Entertainment, it is obvious that several major production companies have taken the cake, and the next target is also obvious.

The result of this is that Phantom Entertainment's two major works "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park" next year will be jointly suppressed!
Although Phantom Entertainment has not announced the specific release time of these two films, according to everyone's speculation, Phantom will definitely not give up the most important schedule of summer next year.

The summer film is originally a time that every production company must compete for. Now, with the relationship between Phantom Entertainment, next year's summer film is bound to become the worst time in North American film history.

"We've had companies contact us now!" Spielberg said.

Large production companies like Time Warner and Disney must have their own plans, and they will adjust their company's plans based on the movies released next summer.

To put it simply, if their own company does not have enough good movies this year, then they will strategically choose to withdraw from this schedule and launch movies that they are only responsible for distributing, so that their losses can be minimized.

But if they have full confidence in their films, then they will choose to enter this schedule to fight, and then everyone will use their own skills!
Now everyone is waiting to see which movie Phantom Entertainment will release in the summer.

If it is "Terminator 2", they may launch their own company's film. Although "Terminator 1" has achieved a good box office in North America and even the world, everyone is not too optimistic about the potential of this film. After all, " The box office of Terminator 1 in North America is only more than 7000 million.

In fact, before the filming of this movie started, many production companies were very optimistic that this movie would be profitable, but when they heard that the investment of this movie was as high as 1.02 million, many production companies flinched , do not want to participate in it.

Calculated according to the current share of the movie, the box office of this movie in North America must reach at least 2 million box office to make money. This box office requirement is a bit too high, and many production companies have flinched.
Although the cooperation between James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger has made many people full of expectations, it is still unknown what height the cooperation between the two can achieve.

On the contrary, "Jurassic Park", a film with a lower investment than "Terminator 2", has made many production companies more worried.

First of all, the director of this movie, Wu Jianye, is the director who has just won the super high box office in North America "The Love of Ghosts" and is gaining momentum. Coupled with the novel "Jurassic Park", it has a large number of fans in North America. Loyal readers, these people are potential fans of this movie. The gimmick that finally truly restored the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous era is too much. This movie is now beginning to take shape.

And all the production companies know that in order to prove himself, Spielberg even chose "Captain Hook", a film adapted from the novel "Peter Pan", which is also very popular in North America, and will choose "Junior" Luo Ji Park" will be released at the same time!
Spielberg is the guarantee of the box office, and no one can doubt it now.

In other words, if "Jurassic Park" chooses to be released in the summer, then the entire North American film market will welcome two blockbusters, "Jurassic Park" and "Captain Hook"!
With these two blockbusters, if other movies choose to be released at the same time as them, there is at least an 80% chance of becoming cannon fodder.

so.
"They are asking about the release time of "Captain Hook", right?" Lucas said indifferently.

Spielberg nodded and said, "More than that, they also want to cooperate with us to provide more theaters to release this movie!"

Lucas sneered: "This is trying to push us out to fight the Phantom!"

Since other film production companies did not have enough weighty movies to release, they had to choose to find a weighty movie to deal with the expansion of Phantom.

And one of the best choices is Spielberg's "Captain Hook".

Spielberg said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what they think, if more theaters support this film, it means that this film can achieve better opening results!"

They naturally know what the major production companies think, but they are also happy to see the results, everyone's goal is the same.

Then there is the premise of cooperation. As for what everyone's small calculations are, it doesn't matter at all to Spielberg and Lucas.

"How did you reply to them?" Lucas asked.

"The release time is the same day as "Jurassic Park". They will be released that day, and we will be released that day. As for their support, we naturally agree." Spielberg laughed.

Lucas nodded, agreeing with Spielberg's approach.

The agreement between Spielberg and several major production companies was soon known to Linda, and she was inevitably a little worried at this time.

Now the negotiations between Phantom Entertainment and Buffett's Berkshire are ongoing. Although the progress is slow, they are finally moving towards favorable conditions for Phantom Entertainment.

However, as Wu Jianye said, this negotiation is bound to be a long one. Judging from the current progress, this negotiation is likely to last until next year.

This is actually what Buffett did on purpose. He intends to take a stake in Phantom Entertainment, so he naturally has to look at the potential of Phantom Entertainment.

Now everyone knows the importance of the movie "Jurassic Park" to the Phantom next year. If this movie is successful, the potential of the Phantom will be infinitely magnified. After all, everyone knows that "Jurassic Park" This novel is a trilogy, which means there will be three movies.

If it succeeds, Buffett will have more confidence in investing in Phantom, but if it fails, Buffett will have to consider asking for more cash!

Only in this way can we be worthy of the shareholders of our company.

Even when the time comes, the acquisition of ABC will be more difficult.

At the side, Johnson looked at Linda's worried expression and said, "You don't have to worry too much, Wu Jianye has never failed before, and we should trust him this time!"

Linda gave Johnson a blank look, "I never thought that one day you would admire Wu Jianye so much!"

Johnson spread his hands and said with a smile: "Why not, the previous things have passed, now look at the achievements of the two of us, did we think in the past that we would develop to what we are today?"

"All of this can be said to be brought to us by Wu Jianye."

At the end of the talk, Johnson showed a regretful expression: "I am a little regretful now. If I could let go of my prejudice against Wu Jianye earlier, maybe I could have joined in earlier, then my achievements now will definitely be even greater. high!"

Regarding this point, Johnson did not lie at all. Now Phantom Entertainment has developed into a large company with a valuation exceeding tens of billions of dollars. Linda now holds 15% of the shares of Phantom because she was the first to work with Wu Jianye. If Da now wants to cash out this equity, her net worth will definitely exceed 15 billion US dollars immediately.

Phantom Entertainment has only developed for a few years, and has reached such a height, how could Johnson not regret it!

Linda thought about it for a while and it was true. Originally, she decided to form Phantom Entertainment with Wu Jianye after seeing Wu Jianye's financial talents. It sounds like the two things are irrelevant, but at that time she was I joined in, and now I think about it, and I feel a little scared.

If I hadn't joined Phantom Entertainment back then, what would have happened to me now?
Working as an investment manager in my mother's investment company while slowly accumulating my own resources is likely to be such an ending.

But it's different now, my net worth has surpassed my mother's, all of this stems from the previous trust!
Seeing that Linda didn't speak, Johnson laughed and said, "You, you are too worried about gains and losses now. Phantom Entertainment has done too much, but you have forgotten how he made it so big!"

Johnson's words, like a clear stream, directly entered Linda's heart, and then said with a smile: "You are right, I know what to do!"

"Haha, that's right, anyway, it's not like we haven't faced such a situation before!" Johnson laughed.

Now that several major production companies want to target "Jurassic Park", it is good for the Phantom to deal with it directly. As Johnson said, it is not that the Phantom has encountered such a situation.

Wasn't it like this when "The Love of Ghosts" was released before, didn't the Phantom still win in the end!

"How's the movie going at Wu Jianye's side?" Johnson asked concerned.

In any case, the core of this battle is whether the movie "Jurassic Park" is successful, so both of them are very concerned about the filming of "Jurassic Park".

"Everything is going well. Zhu Zhuan caught a cold earlier, which delayed the shooting for a few days, but now he is fine!" Linda replied.

Regarding the shooting progress of "Jurassic Park", Linda will receive reports every day.

Johnson said: "That's good!"

Today is a very important moment for the "Jurassic Park" crew, because the dinosaur models in the movie are finally about to debut.

Everyone knows that the absolute protagonists of this movie are these dinosaurs, but before that, Phantom Entertainment kept everything about the dinosaur models highly confidential, so except for the model experts in the digital field and the invited paleontologists, other People don't know the specific situation of the dinosaur model at all.

The importance of today's filming to the crew of "Jurassic Park" is self-evident. Wu Jianye personally ordered that no one except the relevant filming personnel be allowed to enter.

Even Gerda, Kit and the others can't do it.

It turned out that Irina got special permission from Wu Jianye to enter and observe, but even so, Wu Jianye confiscated all the video equipment of the entire crew, that is to say, except for the equipment used for filming, other equipment None of them can be brought into the venue.

In order to keep it safe, Wu Jianye even asked Maple Security to send a team of [-] people to protect the scene.

When Irina saw the dinosaur mold, she finally couldn't help but get excited. Although there are many toys about dinosaurs on the market, it is the first time that the 100% ratio has been restored.

As a paleontologist, she specialized in this research, so she couldn't help but ran over and gently stroked the dinosaur mold with her hand, just like an ordinary girl seeing a peerless treasure.

Wu Jianye stood beside Zhu Zhuo, and said with a smile, "Look carefully at her movements, you can learn from her behavior and expressions after a while!"

Zhu Zhu nodded, and did not answer Wu Jianye's words, but was seriously observing Irina's behavior.

Everyone else also showed surprised expressions. Seeing everyone's expressions, Wu Jianye gave a thumbs up to the special effects team in charge of the dinosaur model.

Since last year, the special effects team of "Jurassic Park" has been working. After a whole year, they finally made a model that satisfies Wu Jianye.

Seeing everyone's expressions now, their hearts are also extremely proud.

After Irina finished observing the dinosaur model, the crew entered the formal shooting. Because of Irina's real performance just now, other actors also found actions and behaviors that fit their characters' personalities.

The shooting of the whole scene can be said to be very smooth. After the shooting of these scenes is over, the models of these dinosaurs will be sealed up and shipped to Los Angeles. When the Phantom Studios is successfully built, these models will be used as props. Phantom Studios.

After the crew finished filming, Wu Jianye called everyone together again and reiterated the crew's decision, that is, everyone is absolutely not allowed to disclose any news about the dinosaur model before the movie is released.

These were all mentioned in the contract signed at the beginning, but Wu Jianye was also worried about the appearance of spoilers, so he could only reiterate such regulations again.

Everyone naturally expressed their understanding that the spirit of the contract must be abided by, mainly because of the huge amount of compensation, which they cannot afford.

But at this time, Wu Jianye still received a report from the person in charge of Fengmu security that someone wanted to sneak into the scene to take pictures of dinosaur models
