In 1991, the list of nominees for the 63rd Academy Awards came out!

Produced by the Phantom, "Ghost Love" received 5 nominations at the 63rd Academy Awards!

They are nominated for five awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Score.

Wu Jianye was also quite satisfied with this nomination, in his memory, in the original version of "Ghost Love", Demi Moore was not nominated for Best Actress, but in Wu Jianye's director's version, Isabel Adjani was nominated for Best Actress!

Linda told Wu Jianye about the nomination result as soon as possible.

"Wu, don't we really run the Best Picture award?" Although Wu Jianye had told Linda before that the possibility of "Ghost Love" winning Best Picture was very small, but now that she has been nominated, Linda has a trace of unwillingness in her heart!

Wu Jianye shook his head with a smile and said: "Forget about the best picture, in fact, you yourself know that the possibility of winning the award is very small, since there is no possibility, then why bother with it!"

To be honest, after being reborn for so many years, Wu Jianye gradually doesn't pay much attention to various awards, even if he doesn't win awards, in today's global film industry, no one can underestimate Wu Jianye's existence.

And according to the urine nature of those people in the Oscar school, it is impossible to award the best film to Wu Jianye, who directed a mainstream North American film for the first time.

However, if Wu Jianye's memory is not wrong, at this year's Oscar ceremony, there is still someone who created a small news, that is, "Dances with Wolves", which was released in October this year, and the director of this movie is Kevin Costner, which is a typical actor and excellent director.

Now that the movie "Dances with Wolves" has been painted, the box office in North America has also reached a super high box office of $185 million, and the most important thing is that the investment in this film is only $22 million.

Why did Wu Jianye know so clearly, because this movie was also invested by Phantom Entertainment, and after Kevin Costner got the script of this movie, he decided to direct it himself, but several major Hollywood studios were not optimistic about this Western-themed movie.

Later, I found Linda, and Linda liked the script with her own vision, so later Linda decided that Phantom invested in this movie.

As a result, this movie was a big hit, which made many production companies beat their chests!

In fact, with the arrival of 1991, major media newspapers also published the top 10 movies at the North American box office last year.

The first place is naturally "The Love of People and Ghosts" directed by Wu Jianye, with a box office of 360 million US dollars!

The second place is also "Dances with Wolves" produced by Phantom, with a box office of 185 million!

The third place is "Pretty Woman" produced by Disney's Touchstone Pictures, with a box office of $178 million!

The fourth place "Life and Death" produced by Phantom Entertainment has a box office of $156 million!

In fifth place is Warner Bros.'s "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which grossed $135 million!

The sixth place is "Back to the Future 3" produced by Amblin Entertainment, with a box office of $130 million!

The seventh place is Paramount's "Hunt for Red October", which grossed $122 million!

The eighth place is "The Devil's Story" produced by the Phantom, with a box office of $119 million!

The ninth place is still "Die Hard 2" produced by Phantom, with a box office of $117 million!

No. 10 Phantom Entertainment's "Western Dragons" box office 110 million US dollars!

When this list came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the United States, everyone knew that Phantom Entertainment is now the most profitable film company in the United States, but when they saw last year's top ten box office lists, they were still extremely shocked.

Among the top ten, there are actually six movies produced by Phantoms!

Two of them occupy the top and second positions?

'The time has come for the Phantom!' -- The Hollywood Reporter!

'Maybe you don't know the name of Phantom Entertainment yet, but you've certainly seen Phantom Entertainment movies!' -- The Washington Post!

'The Great Time Has Arrived!' -- The New York Times!

.......

At this time, almost all newspapers in the United States were reporting on this matter, and as the president of Phantom Entertainment, Linda naturally became the darling of major media at this time, and the invitation to her never stopped, TV stations, newspapers, and magazines were inviting Linda, hoping to give her an exclusive interview!

"Time sent an invitation to ask me to do an exclusive interview, and at the same time be the cover character of their first issue at the beginning of the new year!" Linda called Wu Jianye, and there was a smug look in her tone.

Although Linda is a wise and capable image to the outside, when facing Wu Jianye, Linda still has another side to her.

After all, appearing on the cover of the first issue of the new year of Time Magazine is not something that ordinary people can do, which also means that Phantom Entertainment has been recognized by the mainstream society in North America!

And Linda's meaning of calling Wu Jianye is more ridiculous and proud, if Wu Jianye announced that he is the behind-the-scenes boss of Phantom Entertainment, then he is now being interviewed, not Linda!

Wu Jianye smiled, he didn't care about this at all, and congratulated: "Then congratulations, speak well, and you will be the image spokesperson of the company in the future!"

Zhou Tao had been interviewed by Time Magazine before, but at that time it was the Asian version of Time Magazine.

Linda smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, you just wait for my interview!"

After saying that, both sides hung up the phone!

In fact, when this news was reported, the whole of Hollywood fell into an atmosphere of sighing and sighing, imagine that when everyone was riveting and ready to deal with the Phantom, only to find that they almost dominated the entire North American box office charts last year, which has both envy for the Phantom and doubts about the success of their plan!

This is also the relatively short time that Phantom Entertainment has been established, if Phantom Entertainment has been established for more than 10 years, it is estimated that no company has the courage to deal with Phantom!

This year can be said to be their last chance!

If it fails again this year, then the Phantom's success will be unstoppable!

If it is an ordinary person, it is estimated that he will be cowardly at this time when he thinks of facing a giant like the Phantom, but several major production companies have been able to stand in Hollywood for so many years, and they have never seen any ups and downs, so this also aroused their fighting spirit.

It's already the last battle, so let's fight vigorously!

In addition to this, there is also a person who has paid attention to the news.

Warren Buffett of Berkshire!

"Our strategy may have failed!" Buffett said as he sat in his office with his best partner, Charlie Munger, with a hint of loss in his voice!

Compared with Buffett's radiance, Charlie Munger's light is relatively small, but if someone despises Charlie Munger, it is a big mistake, he and Buffett can be called a golden partner, because without Charlie Munger's existence, Berkshire would not have achieved its current and future achievements.

"Munger brings the perspective of business law to the financial field of investment, he understands the internal laws, can analyze and evaluate any transaction more quickly and accurately than ordinary people, and is a perfect collaborator. A Berkshire partner once lamented, "Charlie and Warren are more similar than you think, Warren's strength is to say 'no,' but Charlie does it better than him, and Warren uses him as his last secret weapon." ”

There were two cans of Coca-Cola on the table between the two, and Charlie Munger's expression was not as disappointed as Buffett's face, and he said with a smile: "Since the strategy has been wrong, then we should correct it in time now, and it is not a difficult thing to correct the mistake in time!"

For ordinary people, correcting mistakes in time is easier said than done, because sometimes they can't recognize their mistakes, and they can't get out of the mentality of gains and losses in time.

But whether it is Warren Buffett or Charlie Munger, they are not ordinary people, what they are doing every day is to correct mistakes in time!

"At the beginning, we thought that we should observe the Phantom again, observe! I believe that when this list comes out, Wall Street's valuation of Phantom Entertainment will change again!" Buffett said seriously.

When Phantom Entertainment proposed to buy ABC TV Network, they thought it was a dealable deal, but they also wanted to know the development potential of Phantom, which would allow them to better value Phantom and find the most suitable equity for themselves.

Now the Phantom exploded at the box office last year, which can be said to be beyond everyone's imagination.......

Charlie Munger said: "Wall Street's latest valuation of Phantom Entertainment has come out, $13.8 billion!"

Buffett smiled bitterly and said, "In other words, we missed the best opportunity for Phantom Entertainment to develop?"

Charlie Munger shook his head and said, "I don't think so, according to my calculations, the high-speed channel for the development of Phantom Entertainment has just opened!"

Warren Buffett glanced at his old partner and said with a smile: "Are you so optimistic about the future of Phantom Entertainment?"

Charlie Munger nodded and said: "Yes, recently, I have been studying the development history of Phantom Entertainment, before last year, the development of Phantom Entertainment was actually more in the industry of the film itself, although the results are also very good, but the ceiling is limited, but now it is different!"

"Now Phantom Entertainment also has Athena Animation, Hera Agency, Marvel Entertainment, Ryan Publishing, three major sports clubs, the digital field, and 45 studios under construction, Phantom Cinemas, Phantom Entertainment is transforming into a large media group, I believe that the future development of Phantom Entertainment will exceed many people's imagination......."

Warren Buffett sat there, listening to his partner slowly expounding on the prospect of the Phantom, and he agreed very much in his heart, in fact, he was very optimistic about the future development of the Phantom, if he was not optimistic about the future development of the Phantom, he would not agree to sell ABC to the Phantom in the form of shares for shares!

"Then we won't wait for the release of "Jurassic Park"? You must know that many people are now staring at Phantom Entertainment's plans for this year, if Phantom doesn't pass this year's hurdle, his valuation will drop!"

In fact, this is why Buffett has been hesitant, the Phantom now looks like everything is good, and even has a feeling of being in full swing, but the development time of the Phantom is still a bit short, if it fails this year, it will definitely have an impact on the valuation of the Phantom, if this is really the case, their investment can only be regarded as a failure!

Charlie Munger said: "In fact, in my opinion, whether this year's failure or not is not so important to Phantom Entertainment, they are now part of the general trend, and at the current size of Phantom Entertainment, they already have the conditions to allow themselves to fail once or twice, and you should have noticed, since Phantom appeared in Hollywood, until now, have they failed?"

"In fact, many people have forgotten a very important thing, that is, the relationship between Phantom Entertainment and Xiangjiang Fengge Media, when the two companies announced that they had become a strategic partnership, everyone was shocked, but with the help of Fengge Media's theaters in Southeast Asia, after the failure to release their own movies, everyone has selectively forgotten the importance of this theater chain!"

"In my opinion, Hollywood movies are on the rise, and now it's just a lack of a suitable opportunity, originally last year, Wu Jianye's "Ghost Love" movie helped Hollywood open up the global distribution network, but unfortunately because of the limitation of the subject matter, many companies copied his success and failure. ”

"This year's Wu Jianye's "Jurassic Park" seems to me to be a good opportunity, although no one knows what this movie will be made by him, but this gimmick of dinosaurs is really good, as long as this movie is at an average level, it is enough to shock the world, and when the time comes, Fengge Media's theater will be taken out again. ”

"Now Phantom Entertainment has mastered the distribution network in the Americas and Europe, if you are joining the distribution network in Asia, think about it, at this time, Phantom Entertainment has actually mastered the global distribution network ahead of other Hollywood production companies!"

Charlie Munger's words were very long, Buffett had been listening carefully to his partner's words, and when he finished speaking, Buffett took a sip of the happy fat house water in front of him.

"I see, there's one more thing we need to be aware of, and that's the request from Phantom Linda that they want to be able to buy a stake in our Berkshire, what do you think about that?" Buffett continued.

Charlie Munger said: "I have asked people to investigate this Lutai investment, but because the registered place of this investment company is in the code, I can't find the boss behind them, but the company's investments in North America are some very potential, or have already achieved fame, as for what they have to do with Wuzang Investment, the investment company behind Phantom Entertainment, it is still unknown, but it is certain that the two sides must have a certain connection!"

"And what do you mean?"

"I'm not opposed to companies joining some powerful investment firms!" Charlie Munger said.

For Berkshire, having more capital can help Buffett and Charlie Munger make more investments, and they will not worry about the injection of external funds, which will dilute their shares, and no one in Berkshire can challenge Buffett's authority.

"Then let's contact the Phantom now!"
