Chapter 989: Someone vomited blood

Although a director of Spielberg's level can already have a direct conversation with the boss of the great studio, this does not mean that Spielberg is an existence at this level, in the final analysis, he is only the top director and producer!

Whether it is a domestic entertainment industry or a foreign entertainment industry, in the final analysis, what is important is a capital.

When Wu Jianye and the Phantom didn't get up, Spielberg could choose to suppress Wu Jianye with power, but when the Phantom Media came up, Spielberg was no longer an important opponent for the Phantom Media, and even several other studios in Hollywood were no longer the opponents of the Phantom Media.

Phantom Media's opponents are now only a few other major media groups, of course, there are also media groups belonging to Hollywood studios, and in the end, everyone is fighting in only two directions, film and television!

Perhaps for other studios, if they can get Spielberg's alliance, they will be adding a nuclear weapon to their arsenal.

But for Phantom Media, they already have their own nuclear weapon Wu Jianye, whether it is in terms of personnel, or the control of the movie, and the contribution to the box office of the movie, Wu Jianye is stronger than Spielberg!

Everyone in Hollywood knows a truth, that is, if Wu Jianye had stayed in Hollywood at this time, then he would have broken more box office records!

At this time, Phantom Pictures invited Spielberg to put it bluntly, it was a strong alliance, as for everyone's previous grievances, under such cooperation, it was already insignificant!

Wu Jianye understands this truth, and Spielberg naturally understands this truth too!

So after receiving the invitation from Phantom Pictures, Spielberg happily agreed to the invitation of Phantom Pictures after reading the script of the movie, and Phantom Pictures will also pay Spielberg according to the market price!

Subsequently, Spielberg personally called Wu Jianye and discussed the story in the script and Wu Jianye's original intention of creation, and later the two met in an unknown coffee shop, and they chatted for a long time over a cup of coffee.

As if all the previous grievances had never existed.

At the beginning, the chat between the two was actually limited to the movie "Saving Private Ryan", but then the two chatted more and more extensively, but they still did not leave the scope of the movie, the two talked about the special effects of the movie, the story of the movie, and the shots of the movie.

A meeting that was supposed to be just a half-hour interview made the two talk for a whole afternoon.

Then the media in North America, during this time, through the ABC TV network under Phantom Media, as well as the print media, suddenly saw many messages about Phantom Media!

The first is the news about the ABC television network.

When several other TV networks saw that ABC TV Network got the screenwriters of Wu Jianye's two TV series and the planning of variety shows at one time, they couldn't calm down for a long time!

The situation when "Friends" was broadcast instantly surged into the minds of the heads of major TV networks, don't say that at that time, that is, "Friends" is still the ratings hegemon of North American TV dramas, every time a new season of "Friends" is broadcast, it will let other TV networks strategically release their own TV network's cannon fodder TV series, they are not not competing, but after several failures, they really can't compete!

Now it's okay, Wu Jianye shot again, and took out two TV series at once!

This fucking doesn't let people live......

What's even more angry is that Wu Jianye, you can take the script of the TV series, why do you still take the planning of variety shows, this is forcing people to die!

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" has long been a North American phenomenon-level variety show, and now it's okay, and two fucking variety shows have been brought out, and the ABC TV network even announced that the frequency of these two variety shows is definitely no worse than "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire".

For the North American entertainment industry, it is most appropriate to use such a sentence to describe Wu Jianye!

Although my brother is no longer in the rivers and lakes, there are still legends of my brother in the rivers and lakes!

In the past few years, Wu Jianye has stopped making movies in Hollywood, but whenever there is an extremely high-grossing movie in Phantom Pictures, Wu Jianye's name is always written in the screenwriter column.

Just as Linda will not doubt Wu Jianye's ability to tell stories, no one in the North American entertainment industry will also doubt Wu Jianye's ability to tell stories.

So when the ABC TV network announced that it would produce "Will and Grace" and "Desperate Housewives", the actors in the North American TV drama circle came out one after another, hoping to get the roles in them, especially after the production team of this TV series was determined, the producer and director were able to receive countless calls from actors and agents almost every day!

The associated reaction is that Hera Economy has signed a lot of potential actors through this wave of ABC TV network publicity!

However, it is obvious that Phantom Media has not given up this wave of popularity, and has successively announced that it will start filming two movies written by Wu Jianye next year, especially the movie "Saving Private Ryan", and it is a cooperation with Spielberg, Wu Jianye's former opponent, and the top director in Hollywood!

The deterrent power of the strong alliance made several other production companies tremble at this time!

They don't know what the consequences of such a combination will be, but one thing they know for sure is that they won't have a good time in the past two years!

For a time, almost the entire North American entertainment industry was shrouded in the shadow of Wu Jianye.

And those enemies who once wanted to deal with Phantom Media suddenly found that they seemed to have just done some useless work before, and when Wu Jianye really made a move, even if he had just made a starting move, it was enough for them to be difficult to parry!

Wu Jianye doesn't accept many interviews with reporters in North America, so many reporters found Spielberg to ask Spielberg what he thought about the cooperation between the two!

Spielberg's answer is that there is no contradiction between me and Director Wu, and the previous things are just the media's own words, in fact, after exchanging the script of the movie "Saving Private Ryan", I found that there are many ideas between me and Director Wu that coincide, and I believe that in the future, we will become good friends!

Looking at Spielberg, who was blowing the rainbow on Wu Jianye at this time, everyone did not agree with Spielberg's idea, but thought that Spielberg was beginning to be afraid of Wu Jianye's influence!

At this moment, they suddenly realized that Wu Jianye's influence in Hollywood was terrifying!

Some people marvel at Wu Jianye's influence in the North American entertainment industry at this time, but some people hate Wu Jianye so much that their teeth itch!

This man is the current ...... of Universal Pictures No, it should be said that it is the former president Cameron Black!

At the beginning, Cameron Black participated in the design of Phantom Media, thinking that he could win Oceanwide Cinemas, but in the end, Wu Jianye resolved the crisis.

At that time, Cameron Blake just felt very sorry, but he didn't take it too seriously, after all, Universal Pictures had nothing to lose at that time.

But this year, when Universal Pictures released their blockbuster "Future Water World", Phantom Pictures also released the movie "Mission Impossible" starring Tom Cruise, the number one handsome man in Hollywood today.

To be honest, when the two movies were in the ring, Cameron Black didn't take it to heart, although "Mission Impossible" has Tom Cruise, but "Future Water World" also has a box office guarantee Bruce Willis!

And in terms of production costs, the two movies are not at the same level, "Mission Impossible" only invested 80 million US dollars, while "Future Water World" invested more than 250 million US dollars!

That's more than three times as much as "Mission Impossible".

In addition, in order to shoot this movie, Universal Pictures even built a one-to-one restoration scene, which can be said to be a big production and big scene!

At that time, Cameron Black can be said to be full of confidence in this movie, although the script of "Mission Impossible" was written by Wu Jianye, but Wu Jianye of "Future Water World" is also very optimistic!

So when the two movies are released at the same time, Cameron Black can be said to be full of confidence.

But what about the result......

Now it has been more than three weeks since the last of the two movies, and the box office of the two movies is very different, "Mission Impossible" has accumulated more than $140 million at the box office in three weeks, and the North American box office is expected to reach more than $200 million!

What about "Future Water World"?

The box office has not even reached 50 million, it can be said that it hit the street and rushed to grandma's house, the most important thing is that this movie has caused criticism from critics and audiences, and it is already hopeless to turn over, and the latest box office estimate for this movie can only reach about 60 million US dollars in the end!

With an investment of $250 million, "Future Water World" only grossed $60 million!

It's clear that Cameron Blake is responsible for this one!

So last week, Cameron Blake took the blame and resigned......

At that time, a reporter found Linda to interview her, why Wu Jianye was optimistic about this movie in the first place.

And Linda's answer was: Director Wu was indeed very optimistic about this movie at that time, but it is not unreasonable that the box office of this movie will become like this now!

The reporter asked Linda why this was?

Linda replied: Director Wu himself once told me that his ability to write stories is first-class, but his ability to read stories is too average, so it may be that he is blind!

When Cameron Blake saw this answer in the magazine, he vomited blood directly, and it was because of your compliment that I added another 50 million investment to this movie.......

Of course, everyone can't believe such an answer, and I don't know who revealed the news, but Universal Pictures was among the forces that targeted the Phantom.

When this news appeared, everyone suddenly realized that this is because the ability to read the story is not enough, it is simply Wu Jianye who is deliberately playing tricks, but Cameron Black is still jumping down with joy!

Later, Linda followed Wu Jianye's suggestion and wanted Universal Pictures to propose to buy the rights to the theme park of "Future Water World".

In fact, in another time and space, at this time, Universal Studios' theme park for "Future Water World" has been built, but because of Cameron Black's additional investment in the movie "Future Water World", the funds for the "Future Water World" theme park have been broken.

Therefore, the theme park of "Future Water World" has not been completed, and the current box office of the movie is hitting the streets, Universal Studios has completely lost confidence in this theme park!

In fact, when Phantom Studios proposed to Universal Pictures to acquire the theme park copyright of "Future Water World", Universal Pictures was still a little skeptical, after all, judging from the current box office, this movie must have hit the streets, and the theme park will not make any improvement, but why did Phantom Studios propose to buy it?

They couldn't figure it out!

If it was acquired by other studios, Universal would definitely sell it immediately, but they were so miserable by the phantom that they subconsciously thought that they hadn't discovered the hidden means of collecting money in the "Future Water World" theme park?

However, Cameron Black, who was still the president of Universal Pictures at this time, put forward his own opinion, and now the Phantom Studios has not been established for too long, so they urgently need a variety of theme parks to expand their Phantom Studios, to put it mildly, in Cameron Black's opinion, the Phantom Studios is just filling its own theme park with garbage!

At the same time, he believes that this is the last value left of "Future Water World", so he strongly advocates that the board of directors of Universal Pictures sell the copyright of "Future Water World"!

Eventually, Universal Pictures listened to Cameron Black's suggestion and sold the rights to Future Water World to Phantom Studios!

As a result, at the end of this year, the theme park of "Future Water World" of Phantom Cinema was officially opened, and what everyone did not expect was that the "Future Water World" of the movie hit the street, but because the theme park perfectly restored the water castle in the movie, it attracted countless tourists......

It has become one of the theme parks with the strongest ability to attract money in Phantom Cinemas.

At that time, the board of directors of Universal Pictures had the heart to kill Cameron Blake!

In fact, there is no need for the Universal Pictures board of directors to kill Cameron Black, and on the same day, I saw Cameron Black who was admitted to the hospital because he vomited blood for no reason!

That was the last time Cameron Black appeared in the media newspaper after leaving Universal Pictures!

But that's all later, for Wu Jianye, Cameron Black at that time couldn't attract any of his attention for a long time!

Now there is a matter of one person that makes Wu Jianye a little headache.

Yang Zhun, who came to North America nearly a month earlier than Wu Jianye, suddenly found Wu Jianye the day before Wu Jianye was about to return to China, and pulled Wu Jianye to drink with him without saying anything, and the two drank for a full night, Wu Jianye knew that Yang Zhun had finally fulfilled his wish!

"That man went bankrupt, not only bankrupt, but also with tens of millions of debts. ”

Wu Jianye asked, "Are you happy?"

Yang Zhun: "I don't know!"

ps: Let me tell you one thing, the book "China Entertainment" should be finished this month, in order to ensure that the book does not end badly, so this month, Huangshan can only keep two changes, but the number of words in each chapter will definitely be guaranteed to be more than 4000+, there is a lot to say, but let's wait until the end of the testimonials and talk to everyone!
