Chapter 582: The American Version of the Distinction between Elegance and Vulgarity (4300+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)

The people who can come to the Johnson family party are people with a certain level of appreciation, so when everyone heard Penny's piano, they immediately understood that this was a new tune, and at the same time it was a very comfortable and perfect tune, the simpler the tune, the more classic.

What's more, this song can hit people's hearts and find that warm place.

The noisy party became very quiet at this time, only the moving tune sounded melodiously in the air.

Until the end, everyone still looked unsatisfied.

After Penny stood up, she covered her chest and bowed to everyone, and then applause rang out, and Penny smiled: "This is a piece I just learned, from Europe, I admire this composer very much, but unfortunately I don't know him, but in my heart the person who can write such a piece must be an elegant nobleman!"

"What's the name of the tune?" someone asked.

Penny said proudly, "One Summer's Day!"

After leaving a proud back for everyone, Penny walked to the side of Wu Jianye and Johnson, looked at Wu Jianye proudly, and said, "See, this is the real art, only you rude people like rock music." ”

"Yes, yes, the author of this piece is indeed an elegant person, I think he is still a very handsome person!" Wu Jianye smiled.

"Hmph, you still know a little bit of art!" Penny didn't hate Wu Jianye so much at this time, but why was this smile a little annoying, and Johnson, who was standing next to Wu Jianye, was the same, showing a complicated smile, sympathy, schadenfreude, and the most obvious annoyance.

"What's your expression, isn't this piece classic?" said Penny dissatisfied, unable to see Johnson's expression.

At this time, Wayne Stein walked over again, holding a wine glass, trying to show himself an elegant smile, but unfortunately, the horizontal meat on that face was not elegant no matter how you look at it.

"Miss Penny's piano is so beautiful, I think the owner of this piece would be honored to hear that his own piece could be played by Miss Penny!"

"Giggles!" At this time, the horizontal flesh on Wayne Stein's face was not so annoying in Penny's eyes, and he smiled: "Mr. Wayne still has a level of appreciation, unlike some people!"

In fact, Penny was talking about Johnson, but Wayne Stein misunderstood it as Wu Jianye.

"This is also something that can't be helped, that place in China has just begun to develop, and there is no soil for cultivating elegant art, I think it's understandable that Director Wu doesn't understand!"

Johnson patted his sister on the shoulder, causing Penny to kick Johnson in dissatisfaction, and then shook Johnson's shoulder, "What for?"

Johnson couldn't help but smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I am very happy to see you like this all of a sudden!"

At this time, Johnson was indeed very happy, because someone was finally like him, and he could now imagine how Penny felt when he told Penny the truth.

"If you know the name of this piece, don't you know who the author of this piece is?" Johnson said.

Penny was slightly stunned and said, "I really don't know, I only know that the first time this piece appeared was in Berlin, Germany." Then he showed a yearning expression, "I heard that there is a story in this song, which was specially composed by a man for his girlfriend, and I really envy such love." ”

But at this time, Johnson was not angry at all, but looked at Wu Jianye curiously: "You created this piece because of a woman?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said lightly: "Of course not, it's just because I pretended to be forced by others that I created this song!"

"I say, is this what suits your personality!" Johnson nodded as a matter of course.

Penny: "......"

Johnson: "......"

"Impossible, you say you're the author of this piece?" Penny looked at Wu Jianye with wide eyes full of disbelief.

Wu Jianye touched his nose and said, "Is there any problem?"

"I don't believe it!"

"If you don't believe it, forget it!" Wu Jianye still had an indifferent attitude.

Johnson, who was on the side, said with a smile: "This piece was composed by Wu Jianye at the revolving restaurant on the TV tower in East Berlin during the Berlin Film Festival, and this matter has long been spread in East and West Berlin, and I was in West Berlin at the time!"

In fact, this is also a blame for Penny, after Penny overheard this song a few days ago, she immediately returned home to study seriously, and when she learned it, she was ready to go to Berlin to meet her idol, so she didn't ask who the author was, and there is such a situation.......

And Wayne Stein on the side showed a rare hint of blush, just now he said that Wu Jianye didn't understand elegant art, but now he was slapped in the face, a little painful.......

However, looking at Wayne Stein, who turned around and wanted to leave, Wu Jianye did not intend to let him go.

He asked, "Mr. Wayne, I don't know what is elegant and what is vulgar in your heart?"

Waynestein stopped his steps, and said with some annoyance, "Can't you even tell the difference between the elegant and the vulgar?"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Then can I think so, Mr. Wayne thinks that rock and roll is vulgar, and piano music is elegant, but as far as I know, Mr. Wayne's younger brother Bob Weinstein is one of the initiators of rock concerts, so do you look down on your younger brother? Or do you think that eating steak and drinking red wine is elegant, and eating hamburgers and drinking coke is vulgar? It turns out that Mr. Wayne never eats hamburgers!"

Wu Jianye's series of words did not give Wayne Stein any room to interject, and this rush made Wayne Stein look a little embarrassed, even a little angry.

Because Wu Jianye's words obviously have the meaning of provocation, if this passage really spreads, then the psychology of himself in the rock circle and ordinary Americans will be completely stinky.

What's more, some people will label themselves as discriminatory, don't think it's a joke, almost everyone in the United States eats hamburgers, especially those black people with glass hearts, if they know about it, it will definitely be against the sky.

"That's not what I meant!" said Wayne Stein quickly after thinking about this.

Wu Jianye smiled "hehe" and said: "We have an old saying in China called knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, who knows what Mr. Wayne thinks!"

After saying that, he didn't give Wayne Stein a chance to defend himself, and left here directly and walked to another corner.

I was in a hurry at night, I hadn't eaten yet, and I was a little hungry.

At this time, what happened here was also known to the whole party, and they were really amazed by this song just now, but they didn't expect that the owner of this song turned out to be Wu Jianye.

In front of everyone's eyes, Wu Jianye was eating the cake in his hand as if no one was around, to be honest, if he wasn't too hungry, he didn't like to eat cake, and would rather eat a hamburger than this thing.

But even if he ate the cake, Wu Jianye didn't stop eating, because at this time, Penny didn't run away after being hit by Wu Jianye one after another like Johnson, but came to Wu Jianye and confirmed again.

"You really wrote this song "One Summer's Day"!"

"I'm going to say that someone else wrote it, do you believe it?" Wu Jianye asked rhetorically.

Penny stood in front of Wu Jianye and didn't speak, she didn't expect that the person she had been worshipping for the past few days would be Wu Jianye, she always felt that all this was a little too dreamy.

But she also knew that it was impossible for Johnson to lie about this kind of thing, and as long as there was a desire to investigate this matter, it would definitely be able to investigate and understand, which means that this matter is true.......

"Can you tell me what kind of mood you felt when you wrote this song? Don't tell me the reason why you pretend to be a child like this, I won't believe such a great song!"

Johnson also came over at this time, and when he heard Penny say this, his face turned dark, and he was saying that he was a child.

Wu Jianye stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, wiped his mouth without any image, and said: "If you don't believe it, forget it, what kind of mood do you have for this thing, if you want to create, you will naturally have it!"

Penny: "......"

Looking at Wu Jianye's pretending to be forced, Penny looked at the red wine glass next to her again, she wanted to buckle Wu Jianye's head directly, is it okay to pretend to be realistic like this?

As if he could think of what Penny wanted to do, Wu Jianye directly picked up the red wine glass on the table and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Hmph!" Penny didn't make any moves in the end, and turned around and left directly, this time not leaving Wu Jianye's side, but leaving the hall directly and leaving the party!

Johnson looked at Wu Jianye with a smile and said, "Our previous grievances can be regarded as a write-off this time!"

Wu Jianye retorted: "That's it?"

Johnson: "......"

Wu Jianye doesn't understand Johnson's thoughts, in the third generation of the Johnson family, only Johnson and his brother Nick Johnson, Nick Johnson is the pride of the Johnson family, Johnson and Penny have been competing with each other, and they can be regarded as winning and losing each other, but since that year he went to China.......

Johnson has become the most unoptimistic in the third generation, but now Penny is also deflated by Wu Jianye, how can he not be happy.

Thinking of this, Johnson decided not to care about Wu Jianye's attitude just now, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will go to Phantom Entertainment and talk to Linda about specific cooperation matters!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "I have to go over tomorrow, the male lead of "The Love of People and Ghosts" has not yet been determined." ”

Although Phantom Entertainment has sent out invitations to Hollywood's age-appropriate male stars, they themselves have to find out if there is a suitable one.

And he also has a lot to discuss with Linda.

Johnson happily said, "Okay, I'll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow!"

Wu Jianye: "......"

For Johnson, who was suddenly enthusiastic, Wu Jianye was still a little uncomfortable, "No need, I'd better go over by myself." ”

Johnson smiled: "You're welcome, you just wait for me at the hotel!"

.......

After the party, Wu Miye returned to the hotel, he planned to rest early today and go over early tomorrow.......

Following!

Wu Jianye came to Phantom Entertainment early, and when he arrived at the company, Linda had just arrived.

After seeing Wu Jianye, Linda asked, "So early?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, I am not very confident about some people's driving skills, and I am worried that he is fake enthusiasm, so I came over in advance!"

Linda didn't understand what Wu Jianye meant, but she didn't have the heart to ask about this kind of thing, but asked about Wu Jianye's meeting with old Johnson yesterday.

"How was your conversation with old Johnson yesterday?"

"It's been negotiated, Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas will exchange shares!" Then Wu Jianye told Linda the details of yesterday's conversation.

After listening to it, Linda was also a little surprised: "You are so confident in your new film?"

This can't help but be surprised by Linda, now like the box office record in North America, it is not as exaggerated as in later generations, although the box office of "The Lion King" in North America last year exceeded 300 million US dollars, but the overall box office in North America is unlikely to be so exaggerated, and last year's North American box office exceeded 100 million US dollars.

In other words, the film directed by Wu Jianye must at least rank in the top ten at the box office before it is possible to win the gambling agreement, is this kind of thing possible?

A ghost-themed romance film, if you want to have a box office of over 100 million, this kind of thing is a bit unrealistic no matter how you look at it, if Wu Jianye is a director of Spielberg's level, maybe there are some possibilities.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I've told you many times, I'm very confident!"

Linda looked at Wu Jianye's confident appearance and didn't know what to say, at this time, even Linda thought that Wu Jianye was a little inflated.

"Why don't we shoot "Jurassic Park" first, this one has a high reputation in North America, and it may be safer to shoot this movie!"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No, there are still a lot of preparations to be prepared for this movie, by the way, you have to contact a special effects company, and from now on you will make a model of dinosaurs!"

"Jurassic Park" is a very complex movie, not that the director is in place, the actors are in place, and the funds are in place to shoot, and there is still a lot of preparatory work.

Linda saw that Wu Jianye had already decided, and knew that it would be useless for her to persuade her, but she thought that if Wu Jianye really succeeded, then the market value of Phantom Entertainment would really have a market value of $5 billion on paper, so she only invested $6 million at the beginning, and later, although with the establishment of Athena Animation, she diluted part of the equity, but now she still has about 15% of the equity of Phantom Entertainment.

In other words, the original investment of 6 million has now been exchanged for 750 million US dollars in equity!

125x return value!

This made Linda's mood explode immediately!

"I didn't expect you to let Johnson be the general manager of Oceanwide Cinemas!" In order to hide her excitement and prevent Wu Jianye from looking down on herself, Linda deliberately changed the topic.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Johnson is a good person, Oceanwide Cinema is developing very well under his management, there is no need to change people." ”

"Haha, if you let Johnson know that you praise him so much, his feelings must be complicated!"

Wu Jianye said: "Why is it complicated, I am friends with Johnson!"

"Friend......." Linda looked at Wu Jianye strangely, saying that Wu Jianye and Johnson were friends, and she didn't believe it!

At this time, Johnson ran to Linda's office and looked at Wu Jianye complainingly: "Wu, didn't you say, I'll pick you up at the hotel, don't you trust your friend so much?"

Linda: "......"
