Hollywood's seven major studios today are Twentieth Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Paramount, Time Warner, Sony and The Phantom!

MGM has experienced many sales before this, and at the same time, because when Ted Turner sold all of MGM's assets, he kept MGM's film library, and took these assets with Ted Turner to Time Warner, which caused MGM's vitality to be greatly damaged.

That's why the Phantom was able to replace MGM as one of the seven major Hollywood studios!

Under the tandem of Spielberg and Lucas, the six major studios joined forces with Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment and Lucasfilm's Lucasfilm to boycott the release of "The Ghost Is Not Over", and this shocking news has long spread throughout Hollywood.

At this time, almost no one is optimistic about this movie anymore, but as their temporary alliance of interests, there is actually a loophole in their plan, that is, Oceanwide Cinema, whose attitude has not been clear.

Oceanwide Cinemas is now expanding rapidly, and in the last half a year, waving banknotes, the world's acquisition of cinema companies has now become a large-scale cinema company in North America that cannot be ignored.

Spielberg and Lucas still haven't guessed the mystery here, but the two also stepped up their practice with major production companies during this time, in order to increase the pressure on Oceanwide Cinemas.

But it turned out to be

"Boss, no, Oceanwide Cinemas has announced that on the eve of Valentine's Day, all its theaters will release the movie "Ghost Love"!"

Spielberg's secretary ran in and said in a panic that he knew how much his boss valued this matter, and now Oceanwide Cinemas is really going to release "Ghost Love"

Spielberg and Lucas suddenly stood up and looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

"What is the relationship between Oceanwide Cinemas and Phantom Entertainment? doesn't he know the consequences of doing so?" Lucas shouted in surprise.

Spielberg said coldly, "It's useless to say this now, what we have to do now is to contact several other studios immediately to boycott Oceanwide Cinemas, we must not lose this battle!"

Lucas nodded, he also understood what this battle meant to them, it was no longer a battle between the two of them and Phantom Entertainment, but a fight between the entire Hollywood Jewish and Phantom Entertainment.

If they lose, it will be a huge blow to their reputation in Hollywood.

Soon Spielberg got through to Universal's phone, and Spielberg was able to rise in Hollywood, and the most important thing was that he was appreciated by Sidney Sienberg, the former president of Universal, so you will find that Spielberg's early works "Jaws" and "ET" were all distributed by Universal.

However, with Panasonic becoming the owner of Universal, Akio Tanii took over Sidney Sienberg's position as the president of Universal, but this did not delay the cooperation between Universal and Spielberg.

Spielberg's status can no longer be measured as a director or producer, but enough to speak directly to the president of any studio.

I thought it was a sure thing, but Spielberg heard a different flavor in Akio Tanii's tone.

"Steven, I'm afraid there's something you don't know yet!" Akio Tanii's tone was a little helpless, but also a little expectant.

Spielberg's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Just now, Phantom Entertainment released the news that it wants to sell the copyright of "Home Alone"!" The latter words, Akio Tanii didn't say, but this is enough, the "Home Alone" series can be called the most profitable movie series in Hollywood in the early eighties, at that time all the studios wanted to participate in this movie, but Phantom Entertainment only chose to cooperate with Universal, which also made Universal earn a lot of money.

And Phantom Entertainment has made a lot of money because of this series, and some authoritative media have made statistics that the "Home Alone" tetralogy has brought at least $7.4 billion in net income to Phantom Entertainment!

Now Phantom Entertainment wants to sell the copyright of "Home Alone", which naturally immediately attracted the common attention of all production companies.

"Home Alone has almost been consumed by the Phantom, and the series won't bring much benefit to the company at this time!" Spielberg immediately spoke.

Akio Tanii smiled and said, "Steven, we know what you think, but this time, I'm afraid we can't help you, the series "Home Alone", what will happen in the future, we have already made specific calculations, although his future income may not be as high as before, but at least it can bring 100 million yuan of net income to the company!"

Speaking of this, Spielberg's expression was extremely depressed, although they Jews have a very high influence in Hollywood, but in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, these influences are insignificant.

Then Spielberg called Paramount, and Spielberg has two major production companies in Hollywood with close partnerships, one is Universal and the other is Paramount.

The "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series was invested and published by Paramount.

But the feedback received is similar to that of the world, even if Murdoch is now extremely wary of Fengge Media, but in the face of hundreds of millions of dollars in earnings, Murdoch is impossible to give up, and no one in this world will choose to give up hundreds of millions of dollars of profits for the sake of so-called business friendship.

In fact, when Phantom Entertainment threw out the copyright of "Home Alone", it had already disrupted their alliance of interests.

Lucas also ended his call, and the reply he got was similar to Spielberg's, and now their interest alliance is obviously no longer able to maintain, even if he doesn't get the copyright of "Home Alone", then the company that gets the copyright of "Home Alone" will definitely continue to cooperate with Oceanwide Cinemas.

This made the problem of the source of Oceanwide Cinemas immediately solved, and the production company and the cinema company were originally in a relationship of one and the other.

When Oceanwide Cinemas no longer worries about the source of the film, then they don't need to be afraid of the production company anymore.

At this time, the production company needs to change their own plans, after all, one more cooperative theater company also means that there are many more release channels for their own company's films.

It's all real benefits!

Spielberg and Lucas both looked at each other, and both saw frustration in each other's eyes, and it would not be too pleasant for anyone to suddenly experience the feeling of falling from the clouds to the ground.

The most important thing is that the follow-up results of this incident, after this battle, their influence in Hollywood will be much lower.

"It's not over yet!" Lucas said suddenly.

Spielberg immediately looked at Lucas and asked, "What else can be done?"

"As long as "Back to the Future 3" is a big hit at the box office, then we still have a chance to turn around this matter!" Lucas said fiercely.

For many years, Lucas has never felt such frustration.

Anger made Lucas lose his usual calm!

Spielberg's eyes lit up, "Yes, as long as the box office of "Back to the Future 3" can surpass "The Love of People and Ghosts", we can turn the tables!"

Neither of them thought that things would develop to this point, and it would reach the core competition in the North American film industry, the quality of the film and the degree of acceptance by the audience!

Spielberg contacted Universal again, this time no longer asking Universal to boycott "Ghost Love" with him, but wanting to increase the publicity of "Back to the Future 3"!

Universal is the distribution company of "Back to the Future 3", although they will not boycott the movie "People and Ghosts", it does not mean that they will give up their own interests and choose to release the movie "People and Ghosts".

At most, it is a return to the previous relationship of normal competition.

However, Universal has its own plans for the release of "Back to the Future 3", and it is impossible to increase publicity efforts because of Spielberg's words.

In other words, if Spielberg wants to achieve this goal, he can only add money to it!

Spielberg, who was already furious at this time, immediately agreed to Universal's proposal.

And the world is naturally very satisfied with this.

After all the open and secret battles, the movies "Back to the Future 3" and "Ghost Love" have returned to the core competition of the movie itself!

It is precisely because of this that in the following days, the promotion of these two films occupied almost all publicity channels in North America.

"The farthest distance in the world is that I am by your side, but you can't see it, and the closest distance in the world is that you and I are separated by yin and yang, but we still love each other deeply!"

On the poster of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over", such a passage is written!

Why is it said that love is the most common language in the world, that is, most women in the world are emotional, so when they saw this sad text appear in front of their eyes, their hearts immediately fell!

"This Valentine's Day, I want to see this movie!" Fiona said, holding her boyfriend Liam with a look of longing.

Liam said disapprovingly, "What's so good about this movie, you forgot the newspaper report, the director of this movie, Kun, he doesn't understand our love at all, let's go watch "Back to the Future 3", the idea in there is so handsome, I also want a gliding board!"

In the "Back to the Future" series, there are many brain-opening technology products that are amazing to people today, but the most impressive ones are the Nike shoes and skateboards.

Fiona looked at Liam and said arrogantly, "Don't you love me anymore?"

Liam""

"In the past, when people said to watch something, you would accompany me to watch something, but now I say that when I go to the movies, you don't accompany me, you must not love me anymore, did you fall in love with Debbie's little bitch when you went to the party before?" "Fiona doesn't reason with Steven at all, anyway, if you don't go to the movies with me, you just don't love me!"

Liam""

It has long been said that women and children make the best money, and the potential audience of romance films is also women, who will not only come by themselves, but also bring their boyfriends.

In the end, in order to prove that he loves Fiona, Steven naturally agreed to accompany Fiona to watch "The Love of People and Ghosts"!

But even so, in the survey of "Hollywood Reporter", among the movies most wanted to see on Valentine's Day, "Back to the Future 3" is still far ahead of the movie "Ghost Love".

IDB and Rotten Tomatoes, which represent the word-of-mouth of Hollywood movies, have not yet been launched, but many newspapers will take the initiative to investigate the audience's expectations for upcoming movies.

There is no way, the aftermath of "Back to the Future 2" is still there, and many people want to know what the final result of this series of movies will be.

In addition, almost all people before were not optimistic about this movie, which also led to many audiences, and when they saw this movie, they automatically gave up the idea of watching her movie.

Phantom Entertainment!

"What should I do?" said Linda helplessly, looking at the investigation in the Hollywood Reporter in her hand.

Wu Jianye sat on the sofa, also holding a newspaper in his hand, and said with great confidence, "In this case, we have expected it a long time ago, what is there to worry about, after the movie is released, it is the time for this movie to really make efforts!"

Because of all the previous events, the movie "Ghost Love" must have an extremely bad psychological hint in the hearts of the audience, in this case, it will definitely affect the box office results on the first day of the movie, but this is not a bad thing.

If the quality of the movie itself is not hard enough, then this movie will basically smash the pot, but if this movie is a masterpiece, then under such a reputation, it will greatly exceed everyone's expectations after release, then it will be time for this movie to really make efforts!

Linda's expression was a little helpless, she found that since she released this movie, she was helpless far more often than before, and said, "It's like this now, we can only continue to do publicity!"

Wu Jianye nodded and asked, "How did you talk with other production companies about the copyright of "Home Alone"?"

Although he has agreed, the copyright of "Home Alone" is handed over to Linda Quan, and Wu Jianye still needs to ask.

said "Home Alone" Linda was a pity, and her tone became resentful: "What you don't look down on as a big boss is fragrant in the eyes of others, and now all production companies want to get the copyright of this series." ”

Wu Jianye didn't take Linda's tone to heart, and said with a smile, "Isn't this better, it can allow you to increase the price!"

"Humph!"
