"Not Penny?" Linda looked at Johnson with some suspicion.

Wu Jianye, who was on the side, expressed his understanding, just when he knew that the relationship between Oceanwide Cinema and the Phantom had been leaked, Wu Jianye really suspected that Penny had leaked the secret.

However, after some thinking, Wu Jianye thinks that the possibility of Penny leaking the news is relatively small, because if this news is leaked, although the situation of Phantom Entertainment will become difficult at this time, it is actually not much of a threat to the future development of Phantom Entertainment.

As I said before, now Phantom Entertainment has basically completed its own ecological closed-loop chain in the entire film industry and completed its formation.

As long as the Phantom can continue to make blockbuster movies, these things can make the Phantom have a thrilling past, and what really kills the Phantom is the news that the boss behind the Phantom Entertainment is Wu Jianye.

If this news is spread, even if the Phantom has done a good job now, it will still be devastated, first of all, the North American Congress will not let go of the Phantom Entertainment, and at that time, it will not be something that can be solved by 30 million dollars.

The villain Ramon case, although it is loosened, does not mean that it can be done blatantly, Lao Mei's resistance to Huaxia has always existed, if they know that the Phantom, one of the largest film production companies in North America, is now the boss behind it is a Chinese, then their methods will let you see how dirty the North American Congress is.......

"Since it's not Penny, it's an insider from Oceanwide and Phantom, you two will investigate it carefully after you two go back, this person must be found out!"

"Now that he can break the news, it means that there may be other news in the future!"

Wu Jianye preached seriously.

Johnson and Linda nodded and said, "We'll take care of this matter!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and then continued to ask, "What's going on with Buffett?"

Only when Phantom Entertainment really gets ABC in their hands will their position be fundamentally reversed, and now they are one of the seven major Hollywood studios on a par with several major studios, with a limited ceiling, still limited to the simple industry of film.

If the Phantom can take over the ABC TV network, then their development will immediately be different, and then the Phantom can complete the transformation of its own media group, and then the Phantom's opponent will no longer be the other six studios.

It is the world's largest three media groups!

Time Warner, News Corp., Viacom!

Disney, which originally belonged to the four major media groups, has not risen yet, because if there is no Wu Jianye, Disney will acquire the ABC TV network, and Disney, which has lost ABC, will definitely not become a giant like another time and space in the future development.

In another time and place, Disney has several powerful weapons that have always made them invincible: their animation industry, Disney Playground, the Marvel Universe, and the ABC television network.

Now that Phantom Entertainment has obtained the Marvel Universe and ABC TV Network under Wu Jianye's advance layout, it can be said that most of Disney's interests have been cut off, and it will be difficult for Disney in this time and space to develop!

Linda said: "It's still negotiating, Buffett has been taking a wait-and-see attitude now, and I estimate that the formal negotiation will have to wait until the situation after the release of "Jurassic Park"!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said: "It's similar to what I thought, since he wants to talk, let's talk slowly, but don't take it too lightly, the future development of the Phantom, if you want to be uncontrolled by others, you must take down ABC, so keep an eye on Buffett, if there are competitors, tell me immediately!"

Linda: "Understood!"

After talking about the matter, the two officially submitted their farewell to Wu Jianye, and now the two companies are not only ghosts, they are naturally going to investigate, and now what has broken out is only the relationship between the phantom and Oceanwide, and it is still within the bearable range, if more news is exposed, the problem will be really big at that time.

At the same time, Linda also has to negotiate with Disney about cooperation.

Michael Eisner took over Disney in 1984, and after he took over Disney, he first made great moves in the two core businesses of Disney, resurrecting Disney's animation and updating and expanding Disneyland!

This also made Disney, which had only 1.4 billion assets at the beginning, valued more than 10 billion US dollars today!

It can be said that Disney's re-rise, Michael Eisner contributed a lot, but unfortunately, he is just a part-time worker after all, when Disney's development fell into a bottleneck again, Michael Eisner became the scapegoat pushed out by the board of directors, in 2004 Disney shareholders' meeting, 43% of shareholders voted no confidence in him, 05 years Eisner resigned from all Disney positions!

Officially drew a line with Disney!

At that time, no one could say that Eisner was not at fault during his tenure, at least his strategy in the general direction was not wrong, and the fault was that he was never able to realize the properties he acquired in a small area of development, which was the reason why Disney shareholders did not trust him.

Disney's equity distribution is very complicated, coupled with Eisner's strong and meticulous management, which naturally leads to many people dissatisfied.

Today, Eisner came to the Disney headquarters as usual, and when he got out of the car, Eisner tightened his suit, and he could see the staff around him, and after seeing his car, he immediately became busy.

Everyone at Disney headquarters knows that Eisner's authority is not to be challenged, and that he has supreme power at Disney.

Eisner smiled at the staff's performance, he liked the feeling, if Disney was to be seen as the starry sky in the night, he was the irreplaceable moon, and all the rest could only be stars, arching around him.

Eisner is in a very good mood today, yesterday he saw a report about Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas, and knew that Phantom Entertainment was in trouble.

If there is anything that Eisner is dissatisfied with during the past few years of managing Disney, it is that "The Lion King" produced by Athena Animation under Phantom Entertainment has become the highest-grossing animated film in the world!

This award should have belonged to Disney, but now it was preempted by Phantom Entertainment, and he was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, so he had already asked Disney's animation department to hurry up and produce his own animated film, but unfortunately, although the animated film produced by Disney had a good box office, there was still no way to compare with "The Lion King"!

Now that the relationship between the Phantom and Oceanwide has been exposed, he knows that the Phantom will be in big trouble, but he also knows that such trouble is only temporary for the Phantom, as long as they can continue to launch blockbuster movies, then the Phantom's brand will not arrive!

It's just that if you want to make a blockbuster movie, how can it be so easy, even if everyone is optimistic about "Jurassic Park" now, in Eisner's opinion, this movie may achieve a certain degree of success, but if you want to say how successful it is, I'm afraid it may not be!

As many people think, the opponent to face in the movie "Jurassic Park" is too strong, Spielberg + Lucas + Robin Williams + Dustin Hoffman + "Peter Pan" Such a combination can be said to be a dream combination.

Even arrogant Eisner thinks that it is impossible for such a movie to find an opponent, so he has ordered Disney to contact Spielberg to inquire about the release time of this movie, and Disney has no need to choose to go head-on!

As long as Phantom Entertainment fails, then his deterrent power will decrease, and when the time comes, it will be impossible for several major production companies to join forces, and it is not impossible to divide a few pieces of cake!

When he arrived at his office, Eisner received a notification from his secretary.

"BOSS, the secretary of Miss Linda, the president of the Phantom, just called and wants to meet with you!"

Eisner sat in his office chair, took out a fine cigar from the drawer, pinched off the tail, lit it, accompanied by curling smoke, and smiled: "Sure enough!"

Eisner's secretary did not respond to Eisner, she knew that Eisner was enjoying such a feeling of victory, the Phantom's current strength is not much better than Disney's, but the problems that the Phantom is encountering now are something that Disney has not encountered, the two were originally of the same level, and now Linda asked her secretary to meet Eisner in person, which is enough to make Eisner feel that he is a head above Linda.

"Let her in!" Eisner said with a smile.

Linda learned about Eisner's response from her secretary and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go meet this senior worker for a while!"

Eisner sees himself as the emperor of Disney, but at the end of the day, he's just a high-level worker, and Linda meets Eisner because she needs to find an ally for the Phantom now!

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Linda was in Eisner's office and saw Eisner!

"Long time no see!"

"Long time no see!"

It's not the first time the two have met, as the bosses of Hollywood's seven largest studios, the two have naturally met more than once at various drinking parties!

Eisner brought Disney's aging empire back to life, while Linda took Phantom Entertainment from scratch and made Phantom Entertainment a company with the same level as Disney in a few years.

Both are arguably the most successful corporate leaders in Hollywood in the last decade.

And Eisner has always regarded Linda as his biggest opponent!

Now Linda has taken the initiative to seek cooperation, and this kind of inner satisfaction is something that ordinary people can't experience!

"Linda, I know, what you came here to do, but you're going to be disappointed, the Phantom is developing too fast, I know what you think, but the ability should be proportional to what you have achieved, in my opinion, you should precipitate the Phantom for a few years, and then talk about it, now the theater is not something you can touch!" Eisner came up and preached to Linda with a superior attitude.

Linda has not changed her face, she has been running Phantom Entertainment for so many years, she is no longer the Linda she was at the beginning, although many people say that the success of Phantom is because she got a good screenwriter to be able to make so many excellent movies, if this movie is given to any of the seven major studios, it is enough to make this studio the largest studio in the United States.

But if Linda's achievements are erased for these reasons, it will be an injustice to Linda, although the phantom has become popular in Hollywood with Wu Jianye's script over the years, and even became one of the new seven, but Linda's credit is also indestructible.

Today, the Phantom has nearly 1,000 employees, and it is very difficult to manage such a large company.

The relationship with independent studios, the relationship with the theater chain, the relationship with the Big Seven, and the relationship with global distributors can be said to be handled by Linda.

Others don't know, but Wu Jianye clearly knows that if the Phantom didn't have Linda, it would definitely not have developed to this point!

It seems that every step of the Phantom's development Linda is done according to Wu Jianye's instructions, but the specific implementation link is all Linda's doing, Wu Jianye once told Zhou Tao that if you let yourself do these things, it is not necessarily better than Linda!

Everyone has their own good side, Wu Jianye can be accurate in major matters with the memory of rebirth, but in the operation of specific details, he is also a newcomer.

However, only a few people know about these things, and most people still think that Linda was able to make the Phantom this far, and luck has a big component.

Linda didn't take Eisner's words to heart, because she knew that this kind of senseless dispute would not bring any benefits to this negotiation.

"This is Phantom Entertainment's own development plan, and it has nothing to do with Eisner, as for whether Disney will reach a partnership with Phantom this time, I think you'd better listen to our plan!"

Eisner waved his hand and said: "I think the plan is over, now that the Phantom has touched the villain Ramon case because of the acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas, the news that will be questioned by Congress, I think the whole of Hollywood already knows, I think it's better to wait until the verdict of Congress comes down!"

Linda said with a smile: "What kind of situation is there in Hollywood now, I don't think I need to say, everyone knows which company is not already in the work of investing in theaters, for this, I admire Disney, can do it without moving......"

Disney is one of the seven companies in Hollywood that has not invested in theaters, and this is not Eisner's decision, but the resolution of the entire Disney shareholders, and even Eisner has no way to oppose it.

Eisner's face changed slightly, and he said, "You say that, I doubt that you are here to negotiate!"

Linda smiled: "Of course it is, it is precisely because Disney does not have its own cinema company that the Phantom will choose to cooperate with Disney, if Disney has a cinema chain, we Phantom will not look down on it!"

Although I don't care about Eisner's attitude, Linda is not the master who is to be looked down upon, and she still has to refute it!
