Chapter 613: "Harry Potter" comes out!(12,000 per day, please subscribe~)
In fact, at this stage of the movie, there is nothing Wu Jianye to do, and there is a professional team in post-production to handle these work, Wu Jianye only needs to come over every once in a while to inspect their work progress, and then see if the completed work is in line with his ideas.
As for the publicity of the movie, in fact, Wu Jianye is not needed, the phantom has already had a set of mature publicity methods, and they are even clearer than Wu Jianye about how much money is used to do how much.
The increase in publicity funds naturally means an increase in publicity channels.
The current Hollywood can be said to be the publicity war between the "Back to the Future" series and the "Ghost Love" series, although it has been said that "Back to the Future 3" will be an important opponent of "Ghost Love", but before the release of "Back to the Future 3", "Back to the Future 2" will be released in North America next month, and the promotion of this film has already begun when the film is filmed.
As a sequel to the classic series, naturally many viewers are looking forward to it, which is why Linda is worried, Spielberg, Lucas and others are confident.
The publicity of the two sides has also entered the stage of head-to-head confrontation, and news about the two films is sent out almost every day.
Sometimes the promotion of a movie is even more interesting than the movie itself.
As for "Jurassic Park", it has now entered the stage of pre-publicity, but in order to avoid seizing the publicity resources of "People and Ghosts", it is only a little bit of news at this stage, and has not entered the stage of large-scale publicity.
Now the digital realm has designed a yellow, red, and black dinosaur silhouette as the brand logo of the entire movie, so that people around the world can be instantly recognized.
At the same time, there has been news released, saying that due to the progress of science and technology, it is enough for computers to generate velociraptors and chicken-like dragons, but these are just ordinary propaganda methods, and the images of dinosaurs have always been the most secret, which has also created a sense of expectation and mystery for many audiences.
In the manor, Wu Jianye and Li Xiuming sat by the pool, chatting casually, the weather in Beverly Hills is like spring all year round, even if it is about to be November, it still does not feel too cold.
Basking in the sun, there is a feeling of warmth.
After pregnancy, Li Xiuming also became lazy and became more addicted to eating, sitting next to Wu Jianye at this time, complaining to Wu Jianye.
"I want to eat fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy shredded pork, braised pork, pot-wrapped meat, and slippery pork" are all home-cooked stir-fried dishes, in fact, the same is true for Chinese people, although there are many kinds of Chinese food, but for Li Xiuming, who is a northerner, only these home-cooked ones are what she wants to eat more.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "People say that pregnant girls are prone to morning sickness, so it's good for you to start ordering." ”
Li Xiuming said with a rare coquettishness, "I don't care, I just want to eat, I've been here for so long, it's Western food every day, and I'm tired of eating it for a long time." ”
In fact, Wu Jianye also took Li Xiuming to Chinatown to eat in Chinese restaurants a few times, but Li Xiuming and Wu Jianye's tastes are similar, neither of them likes to eat things that are too sweet, but the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown make the dishes sweet in order to take care of the taste of Americans, and neither of them is used to eating them.
Wu Jianye said, "Don't worry, you can eat it tonight." ”
If there is a superpower in this world without superheroes, there is a superpower, that is the ability to make money, Wu Jianye has been in the United States for a few months, and naturally he is fed up with the food here, hamburgers, steaks, and this thing is nothing to eat a few times occasionally, but after eating it for many years, I am still not used to it.
So Wu Jianye specially invited a master in Chinatown to specialize in Chinese food, and he specially explained that it must be authentic Chinese food.
When Li Xiuming heard Wu Jianye say this, he immediately smiled and said happily, "Really!"
Wu Jianye nodded, "Of course!"
With the temptation of food, Li Xiuming always felt that time passed very slowly, and in the end, the two urged the invited Chinese chef to speed up their progress.
It wasn't five o'clock in the afternoon, and the meal was ready.
Authentic home-cooked stir-fry, vinegared shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spicy shredded pork, sloping pork, back to the pot meat, braised pork and a roast chicken, Wu Jianye was very satisfied.
With a bowl of rice, this life is simply life
The way the two of them eat like this makes the people of the manor feel novel, they are all foreigners, before they came to work in the manor, it is not that they have not served other rich people, but those rich people are very particular about etiquette one by one, like Wu Jianye, who has no image to eat, it is really the first time to see it.
Li Xiuming watched with some envy as Wu Jianye poured a sip of Coke, she also wanted to drink it, but this was definitely not allowed.
After eating and drinking, Wu Jianye covered his stomach and collapsed happily on the chair, and the master who was cooking at this time also came over.
"Director Wu, are you still satisfied with today's meal?"
"Satisfied, it's necessary, Master Chen, this is what you're doing!" After speaking, Wu Jianye also extended a thumbs up, "The food of the foreign devil is really enough!"
Master Chen smiled, "Director Wu, it's good that you can be satisfied, to be honest, I don't know why those foreigners always like to eat such sweet things." ”
In this way, Master Chen stayed in the manor and was responsible for their three meals a day here, originally Wu Jianye wanted Dai Zhen to try this kind of thing, after all, Dai Zhen's family is not only a martial arts family, but also a family of cooking, but Dai Zhen's craftsmanship is the same as his sense of direction, which is really unbearable to look at.
Dai Zhen and Chen Le have also been by Wu Jianye's side during this time, but Wu Jianye has been busy shooting, so their sense of existence is also very weak.
At this time, Chen Le was already accustomed to this kind of life, anyway, now he was not so surprised that there was anything amazing about Wu Jianye.
After resting in the manor for a few days, Wu Jianye came to Phantom Entertainment again.
When Wu Jianye came to Phantom Entertainment, Linda was not in her office, but in the conference room meeting with Sean of Ryan Publishing, Stan Lee of Marvel, and Avi Arad of Toy Biz Toys.
If you just say that Avi Arad everyone may not be impressed, but if you say that the opener of the Marvel Universe is Avi Arad, everyone will understand.
In 1996, Marvel went bankrupt and reorganized, and Jerry Calabres served as the CEO of Marvel Entertainment Group, and co-helmed Marvel with Toy Biz Chairman Avi Arad.
Its division, Marvel Films, was also renamed Marvel Studios, and Avi Arad, the resolute Jew, began to work extensively with major companies on film projects.
In 2000, when Avi Arad took over Marvel Studios, he planned to shoot superheroes PK each other, which meant not only creating a single hero role, but also connecting the protagonists of some movies.
Arad was well aware of the difficulties of this method of filming, but he still went out of his way to persuade the producers of major companies to try it, but no one seemed to pay attention to him at the time.
At that time, Kevin Feige was only an assistant to Avi Arad, but later as Kevin Feige took charge of Marvel Studios, the relationship between the two became complicated, and the two also had their own opinions on who proposed the Marvel Universe.
However, in Wu Jianye's view, the Marvel Universe, one of the greatest ideas in Hollywood film history, is not someone's idea, first the creative inspiration of Avi Arader, and then the execution of Kevin Feige, there is the Marvel Universe.
As for the identity of the Jews of Aviarad, neither Wu Jianye nor Linda actually cares, they are just at odds with the Jewish circle in Hollywood, not with the Jews of the world, and they should cooperate or cooperate.
What's more, now that the three companies have been acquired by Phantom Entertainment, and now Avi Arad has just become a part-time worker from the boss, if he can honestly be responsible for Toy Biz toys, Wu Jianye will naturally keep him, if not, then it will be another person.
The creativity of the Marvel universe does not need to be mentioned by him at all, Wu Jianye has already begun to prepare, and even has more advantages than another time and space.
After Phantom Entertainment acquired the three companies, it was natural to prepare for the future development of the three companies, and after discussing with Wu Jianye, Linda would inject $30 million into the three companies respectively.
Marvel is now honestly writing its own comics, don't worry about the rest, just lose a little, compared with the value of tens of billions of dollars in the future, it is acceptable to lose tens of millions of dollars now.
Of course, Linda can't just tell Stan Lee like this, otherwise Stan Lee will have to be angry and have something wrong, what he is thinking about now is to adapt Marvel's superhero into a movie, but Wu Jianye knows that at least at this stage, this matter is not feasible, although in another time and space, James Cameron once tried to adapt "Spider-Man", but for the extent to which James Cameron burned money and the time of filming, Wu Jianye still decided to suspend this project for a few years, at least until 95 years later.
Wu Jianye will take out "X-Men" to test the waters.
As for Toy Biz Toys, it is responsible for Marvel's superhero doll toys, which has been decided when acquiring Marvel, but there are two other tasks, one is to produce toys for "The Lion King", although the Phantom has outsourced the toy business of "The Lion King" before, but the contract signed at that time was time-limited and not an exclusive agent, so Toy Biz Toys can also make and sell toys for "The Lion King".
Another is that Toy Biz Toys will launch their fandom toys with Jurassic Park next year, and will also sign an exclusive agency with Athena Animation for the animated toys produced later.
Wu Jianye sat in Linda's office for a while, and then Linda returned to her office with a tired face.
Seeing Wu Jianye sitting comfortably in his office, Linda's resentment instantly came up, "The big boss finally has time to come to the company today." ”
Regarding Linda's resentment, Wu Jianye directly turned a blind eye to it, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, I'm a relative, so angry!"
Linda complained, "I'd rather come to relatives!"
After complaining, he said, "The three of them are all old foxes, and they want more benefits one by one!"
Although Phantom Entertainment has acquired three companies, it does not mean that these three companies have completely obeyed Linda's arrangement, all three of them have been operating in three companies for a long time, it can be said that the relationship within the company is complicated, why Wu Jianye was able to buy Marvel from Ronald Perelman, isn't it because he has reached an agreement with Stan Lee!
The three companies are now backed by the big tree of Phantom Entertainment, and naturally they also want to fight for more benefits for themselves, and Linda naturally has a lot of trouble dealing with these three old foxes.
"Haha, don't worry, you will be a fox in a few years, and you will still be a beautiful fox, you will be more powerful than them!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Linda glanced at Wu Jianye and said, "Let's talk about it, the big boss has always said that after acquiring Lane Publishing, you will give Lane Publishing a fist work, and now Lane Publishing has completely belonged to Phantom Entertainment, you should always come up with your own works!"
Wu Jianye didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a stack of manuscript paper in his bag, handed it to Linda, and said, "This is the first part, and the rest will be handed over to you slowly!"
Linda finally showed an excited expression, Wu Jianye has never written it since she wrote "Jurassic Park", and now that she has finally taken it out again, she is naturally full of expectations.
quickly took the manuscript paper in Wu Jianye's hand, and saw that it read "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"!
What Wu Jianye prepared for Lane Publishing was the famous "Harry Potter" series in later generations.
plagiarized this one, Wu Jianye didn't have the slightest worry, because the original author of this one, JK Rowling, didn't even have this idea at this time, and he didn't have to worry about the crash at all.
The success of this film is no less than that of the Marvel Universe, and even in the era when Wu Jianye was reborn, the value created by "Harry Potter" was higher than that of the Marvel Universe, and the total revenue of the film reached a terrifying $26.4 billion, surpassing the Marvel Universe and Little Spider.
Of course, now that the entire Marvel is in the hands of Wu Jianye, it will definitely surpass "Harry Potter" in the future IP value rankings.
However, "Harry Potter" is also continuing to create its own value, and the prequel "Fantastic Beasts" series is also setting its own record.
Not counting the prequel to "Harry Potter", the total box office of the film adapted from "Harry Potter" alone has reached $7.8 billion.
Cornucopia is proper!
However, after reading a few pages of "Harry Potter", Linda showed a puzzled expression.
"This instinct fires? I feel like she's far worse than Jurassic Park."
