When a few people walked into the conference room of Phantom Pictures, Johnson was already waiting here, but Linda was not there.

Now Linda is already the CEO of Phantom Media, and she has already jumped out of the simple film industry and has become one of the few business giants in North America, and there are naturally a lot of things every day.

Now that "The World of Chu Xing" is premiering, there is no time to fly back to participate, which shows how busy his work is.

"Wu, I watched the movie, it's very good!" At this time, Johnson also became a lot more stable.

In fact, both Linda and Johnson have their own growth, which is also related to the business they are in charge of, both of them are considered top bosses in their own industry, and naturally it is impossible to jump like before.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Now that the cinema chain in North America has been acquired, you can calm down and manage it, the development of Oceanwide cinema is too fast, it will inevitably cause internal instability, and your work will be more difficult than before!"

The collapse of the building is more about damage from within!

Johnson smiled confidently and said, "You can rest assured!"

There are some differences from another time and space, that is, Zhang Guoli and these people will learn some spoken English from time to time after joining the court culture, so it also leads to the fact that Zhang Guoli and others, although they can't speak the same as foreigners in English, can understand some simple conversations and some less complicated content.

Although the two did not have a deep talk, the content of the conversation still surprised Zhou Xingchi and others, because when Wu Jianye spoke to Johnson, it was completely a picture of the attitude of the superior to the inferior, and Johnson also gladly accepted such an attitude.

After Zhang Guoli and the others were surprised, they didn't think much about it, thinking that just like Zhou Xingchi said before, Wu Jianye can create extremely high value, so these people have to hold Wu Jianye.

But Zhou Xingchi is different, others are in Xiangjiang, and they have been exposed to more news, such as Yaoguang, Yiwang, and Fengge Media.

Thinking of this, the shock on Zhou Xingchi's face became even more obvious.

Fengge Media is now the largest media group in Asia, and the strength of Phantom Media is all over North America, Europe and other places, so doesn't it mean that Wu Jianye is already the world's largest media tycoon?

Zhou Xingchi didn't continue to think about the next thing, and he didn't dare to think about it much, first of all, he thought that this kind of thing was unrealistic, maybe he was sensitive.

It should be sensitive.......

But even so, he reminded himself that he was still carefully observing the conversation between Wu Jianye and Johnson.

But then the two didn't communicate at work, and they discussed movies more.

This made Zhou Xingchi, who wanted to get some useful news from it, a little disappointed.

"It's a pity, your movie is a Chinese movie, if it's a Hollywood movie, this movie will definitely be able to dominate the Oscars!" Johnson said regretfully: "Now I can only add the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

Wu Jianye nodded indifferently and said, "You know, I don't have much interest in participating in the Oscars!"

In his opinion, the Oscar is a Hollywood film award, because Hollywood is now the global film center, so the Oscar will be so important, if there is a day when Huaxia's films surpass North America in the global market, then the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award is also one of the most well-known film awards in the world.

"Haha, to be honest, until now I think it's a pity that you didn't win Best Director, although there is a consolation for Best Screenplay!" Johnson laughed.

Wu Jianye won the Oscar for Best Screenplay with "Ghost Love", but because he did not do public relations, he lost the competition for the best director and best picture awards.

"Don't take it to heart!" Wu Jianye said indifferently, looking at Wu Jianye's indifferent evaluation of the Academy Awards here, Zhou Xingchi and the four of them were a little speechless.......

As Johnson said, it is estimated that only Wu Jianye is qualified to say so.

"By the way, will the movie "Chu Xing's World" participate in the Oscar selection for Best Foreign Language Film this time?" asked Johnson curiously.

Wu Jianye smiled slightly and said, "I really can't be the master of this matter!"

Johnson looked at Wu Jianye in surprise and asked, "Why?"

There is no reason, if you want to apply for the Oscar, it is not up to Wu Jianye to say it alone, because according to the domestic rules, if the movie "The World of Chu Xing" wants to apply for the Oscar, it needs to be recommended by China Film, not only the court culture can do it!

After explaining to Johnson, Wu Jianye said with a smile: "However, this film still has a great chance of participating in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

Wu Jianye didn't say that he was dead, but Zhang Guoli and others knew that according to Wu Jianye's influence in China now, as long as he wanted the movie "The World of Chu Xing" to represent China and participate in next year's Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, then this movie would definitely be able to participate.

And although Wu Jianye is not very fond of the Oscars, ordinary people value it, since Wu Jianye wants to develop Chinese films, the first thing is to improve the influence of Chinese films in the world, as for the three major film festivals in Europe next year, it is still left to Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine"!

According to Wu Jianye's fame, this year's movie "The World of Chu Xing" will definitely become the object of active invitation to the three major European film festivals this year, but since Wu Jianye now wants to increase the influence of Chinese films, then according to the maximization of interests, he will not participate in the three major European film festivals with the movie "Farewell My Concubine".

The sensation caused by this is still somewhat more beneficial than the scattered ones!

Because it doesn't matter if it's the three major film festivals in Europe or the Academy Awards in the United States.

It is possible to let two Chinese films enter their awards together, but they will never be awarded all the awards, no matter how fair they claim to be, balanced art is the most important point for them.

Time is slowly moving forward, and the more the box office statistics are about to come out, Zhou Xingchi and the others are getting more and more nervous, this is the first movie released by the four of them in the United States, and they all know what it means.

Especially Zhou Xingchi, with Cheng Long Zhuyu in front, Zhou Xingchi naturally hopes to go out of Asia and become a global movie star.

Now the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is his opportunity.

When the time came to two o'clock in the morning, Wu Jianye saw that they looked at their watches more and more frequently, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, as soon as the box office statistics come out, they will be sent here!"

Chen Hong asked curiously: "Director Wu, are you watching our movie today...... Uh, what should have been yesterday's box office?"

Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "If it can exceed 10 million US dollars, it will be considered a success!"

Johnson said on the side: "Wu, are you a little too cautious, the first-day box office of "The Love of Ghosts" was $17.36 million, and the first-day box office of "Jurassic Park" reached $26.89 million, and now you only expect this "Chuxing's World" to exceed $10 million?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "You are still a theater company, can't you even understand this little thing?"

Johnson naturally understands that the movie "Chu Xing's World" is completely different from the two films he just said, those two movies are out-and-out Hollywood movies, and with the support of Oceanwide Cinemas in theaters, the box office of these two films can reach such a height on the first day.

Now this "The World of Chu Xing" is just the opposite, it is a 100% Chinese movie, it is not a mainstream movie in North America, if it weren't for Wu Jianye being the director of this movie, let alone 10 million, it would be considered a success if it can exceed 1 million!

But Johnson still doesn't want to believe it, after all, the director of this movie is Wu Jianye, the director of the top two movies at the global box office, how can his box office appeal only reach 10 million?

"I still feel like 10 million is a little bit less!" Johnson said.

Matthew Murphy next to him also nodded.

Wu Jianye smiled: "It's a lot, you look at it from different angles, so you naturally think that 10 million is less, but in my opinion, 10 million is really good!"

There are some things that Wu Jianye didn't say to them.

That is, in the eyes of some North Americans, although Wu Jianye and Wu Jianye have achieved dazzling results, the two movies have firmly occupied the top two positions at the global box office until now.

But that is Wu Jianye's achievements relying on the powerful platform of Hollywood, and now Wu Jianye has abandoned this platform and returned to Huaxia, in their opinion, this is a betrayal, and some so-called Wu Jianye's fans will even boycott this movie because of this emotion.

But Johnson and Matthew Murphy are different, the two know the details of Wu Jianye, that is to say, Wu Jianye relies on his strong personal strength, which makes Johnson and Matthew Murphy think that Wu Jianye is invincible, so they think that the box office of 10 million is a bit less.

And Zhou Xingchi and others, when they heard Wu Jianye say $10 million, their mood was diametrically opposite to Johnson and Matthew Murphy, they were simply too satisfied with the box office.

If the box office can reach 10 million on the first day, then the potential of this movie is very good, and it can even achieve a box office of nearly 100 million in North America, so that they can be regarded as making a name for themselves in Hollywood.

Just as everyone was thinking about it, a clerk ran in with a stack of papers.

"General manager, the box office of the movie "The World of Chu Xing" has come out on the first day!"

Rub!

Zhou Xingchi, Zhang Guoli, He Qing, and Chen Hong stood up directly, looking at the documents in the clerk's hand with hot eyes, and were taken by Matthew Murphy.

After Matthew Murphy saw the box office results, he looked at Wu Jianye with a somewhat complicated expression and said, "The box office on the first day was $10.89 million!"

Call!

Zhou Xingchi and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, this box office is already very good.

Wu Jianye smiled and said with a smile: "This box office is already very good, the rest depends on the follow-up ability of this movie!"

Wu Jianye is still a little confident in this movie, although because of his identity as a Chinese movie, it is impossible to become a hit movie, but this movie is a very interesting movie, which is worthy of the second and third brushes of many movie audiences, and the biggest difference between such a movie and an ordinary popcorn movie is here.

For example, two beauties, a beauty with an Internet celebrity face, although they look very beautiful at first glance, they have no characteristics, everyone feels beautiful at a glance, and then there are no other ideas.

But the movie "The World of Chu Xing" is a classic eighty or ninety years of beauty stars, they can withstand the passage of time, and they are beauties that people still want to watch.

"If you follow this box office calculation, the box office of this movie is likely to end up reaching $80 million!" Matthew Murphy said with some disappointment.

And Johnson has a similar expression on his face as Matthew Murphy.

Zhang Guoli couldn't help but say: "The box office of 80 million is already a lot!"

Matthew Murphy smiled bitterly, looked at Zhang Guoli, and said, "Zhang, do you know what the box office of Director Wu's other two movies in Hollywood is?"

Zhang Guoli and the others looked at Matthew Murphy with some confusion, they only knew that Wu Jianye's two movies had a global box office of more than one billion, but they didn't know what the box office was in North America.

Looking at the puzzled expressions of several people, Matthew Murphy said proudly: "Director Wu's first "Ghost Love" has achieved a super high box office of $360 million in North America, and "Jurassic Park" is even more exaggerated, $439 million!"

When these two data were spoken, Matthew Murphy looked at them and said with a complicated expression: "This time, you know why I said that the box office of 80 million is a bit less!"

Zhang Guoli and the others looked at Wu Jianye in surprise, and at this time they knew what kind of existence Wu Jianye was in North America.

A movie grossed more than $300 million?

The box office of the other one is even more exaggerated, directly exceeding 400 million US dollars!

Now that they think about it, when they thought that the box office of 80 million US dollars was already good, they inevitably felt a little bit behind in their hearts, and it seemed that they really delayed Wu Jianye.

What if the film was a Hollywood production?

A few people didn't dare to imagine.

Wu Jianye naturally saw their expressions, smiled, and said, "You don't have to think about it, I think the box office of this movie should be more than 80 million, and it should be able to exceed 100 million." ”

Matthew Murphy and Johnson looked at Wu Jianye puzzled, Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You have also watched this movie, you must know that he is not a simple popcorn movie......."

Wu Jianye told them his analysis, and everyone fell into deep thought, not knowing whether Wu Jianye's analysis was correct or not!

"Okay, don't think about it, don't you just look at the box office tomorrow!" After speaking, Wu Jianye stood up and said, "Okay, it's not too early now, let's go back early!"

Everyone got up with complicated thoughts and went back.

In fact, by the next day, when the box office statistics had not yet come out, the reviews about the movie "Chu Xing's World" had already come out!
