The conversation with Johnson did not go well, Johnson insisted that Wu Jianye could only take a stake in Oceanwide Cinemas, but he could not control Oceanwide Cinemas, and Wu Jianye hoped to control Oceanwide Cinemas in his own hands.

The two sides have been in a stalemate for a long time, and there is no negotiation, but there is no imaginary tension, everyone knows that a successful cooperation cannot be smooth sailing.

In the end, when they separated, the two sides had no time to talk.

After coming out of the restaurant, Wu Jianye returned directly to the hotel.......

The next day, Wu Jianye received a call from Johnson again, but this time Johnson did not invite Wu Jianye to lunch or dinner, but invited Wu Jianye to his home to attend the party held at his home today!

Wu Jianye was a little stunned by Johnson's invitation, but then agreed to Johnson's invitation.

Going to Johnson's house as a guest is a matter of the evening, and Wu Jianye is not idle now, and he took Zhao Fei to see Chen Kaige.

Chen Kaige lived in Los Angeles at this time, and now Chen Kaige is a temporary director of Phantom Entertainment, which also gives Chen Kaige more opportunities to contact mainstream Hollywood movies than in another time and space.

In another time and space, Chen Kaige said that he had studied in Hollywood for two years, but because of the particularity of his identity, he did not come into contact with the mainstream film circle in Hollywood, and belonged to the marginal figures.

This is also why even if Wu Jianye won the honor of the three major European film festivals, it is the same that he is still not favored by the mainstream film circle in the North American film circle.

Although Chen Kaige also has honors, but a director who has not been tested by the mainstream Hollywood film market, even if you have a high honor in Europe, it is useless.

Even if you want to make a movie, because of your Chinese identity, you are much worse than a director who has just debuted in Hollywood.

So even with Wu Jianye's special advice, Chen Kaige has never gotten the right to make films independently in Phantom Entertainment, and is more learning from some directors, but this is already a very remarkable thing for many people.

If Chen Kaige can calm down and temper himself in Hollywood for a few more years, he may really get the opportunity to make independent films.

Their car soon arrived at Chen Kaige and Hong Huang's residence, which was a typical American-style three-story villa.

After Chen Kaige saw Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei, he was very excited, and hurriedly beckoned the two of them in, and Zhao Fei asked Hong Huang.

Chen Kaige said a little indifferently: "Go to work!"

But soon Chen Kaige said to Wu Jianye: "You really want to make a film in Hollywood!"

There is envy in the tone, and there is also a trace of dissatisfaction!

Chen Kaige is proud, when Zhang Yimou won the Golden Lion Award at the Berlin Film Festival, he once told Hong Huang: "When he (Zhang Yimou) was doing photography before, I really didn't see that he had the talent to be a director, but I didn't expect him to be able to win an international award for the first time as a director, which is still such a big award!"

It's been more than a year since he came to Hollywood, and Chen Kaige thinks that he has enough ability to shoot movies independently, but he has never had a chance to shoot movies in Phantom Entertainment, and Wu Jianye was able to shoot movies independently when he came to Hollywood this time, which naturally made him feel a little unconvinced!

In Chen Kaige's opinion, although Wu Jianye has achieved more honors than himself, the level of the two should be the same.

Wu Jianye looked at Chen Kaige with a smile and said, "Why are you not convinced?"

He knew that Chen Kaige was proud, but the relationship between the two also allowed Wu Jianye to break Chen Kaige's glass heart unscrupulously.

"Nothing to disagree with. Chen Kaige said lightly: "In fact, after more than a year in Hollywood, I have figured it out, my roots in making movies are in China, and all the backgrounds and environments are also in China, and I always want to go back!"

Zhao Fei held a can of beer next to him and said indifferently: "If you want to go back, go back, according to your fame, you will definitely not worry about filming in China!"

Chen Kaige nodded, he still had this confidence, and said: "Let's take a look first, you also know the current environment in China, I plan to go back at the end of this year or early next year." ”

Wu Jianye said: "Before you go back, did you think about being the assistant director of my film?"

Chen Kaige was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wu Jianye to make this request, but then Chen Kaige rejected Wu Jianye: "Forget it, I have other work to do, so I won't mess up you!"

This is Chen Kaige's pride, in Hollywood, he can be an assistant director of other directors, but he can't be Wu Jianye, in his opinion, he and Wu Jianye are the same level of existence, and it is impossible to be Wu Jianye's assistant director.

Wu saw that Chen Kaige refused at night, and he didn't invite again, it seems that he can only find some assistant directors in Hollywood, but fortunately, Hollywood has never lacked this.

Chen Kaige reminded: "Lao Wu, I've been in Hollywood for a while, and I can be regarded as knowing some of the situation on their side, even if Phantom Entertainment is willing to invest in your movie, I think you will encounter a lot of difficulties, I used to see a lot of people in China who wanted to go abroad, but only after they really came out, did they know that the so-called fairness and freedom are all lies, and discrimination here is everywhere!"

Speaking of the last time, Chen Kaige was already a little depressed, obviously he was not doing very well during this time.

If you want to talk about the problem of treatment, there is definitely no problem, more psychological feelings.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Don't worry, my heart is extremely strong, this thing can't be difficult for me!"

Why did Wu Jianye and Chen Kaige have such a conversation?

It is because many Hollywood newspapers have published the news of Wu Jianye's arrival in Hollywood today, and the content of Wu Jianye's announcement at the Berlin Film Festival that he will direct a Hollywood movie has long been known by Hollywood newspapers.

But the arrival of Wu Jianye is not optimistic!

"The biggest failure since the creation of Phantom Entertainment is about to be born!" -- The Hollywood Reporter!

As Hollywood's largest entertainment newspaper, The Hollywood Reporter published a long report, even though the main target of this report was Wu Jianye, they still did not mark Wu Jianye's name in the title, but wrote Phantom Entertainment!

Phantom Entertainment will invest in the production of Wu Jianye's new film "The Love of People and Ghosts", which has long been no news in Hollywood, the report said.

“....... Wu Jianye, a famous Chinese director in the European film industry, arrived in Hollywood yesterday, Wu's rumored girlfriend Isabel Adjani personally arrived at the airport to pick up the plane, Wu got off the plane, and immediately rushed to Phantom Entertainment, Gu insiders revealed that Wu has signed a contract with Phantom Entertainment for a new movie!

For American audiences, Wu's fame comes more from his album "Turned Around" and sci-fi "Jurassic Park", although Wu's movies have also achieved good results in Europe, but everyone knows that Hollywood movies are different from European movies and Asian movies.

A director who succeeds in Europe does not necessarily succeed in Hollywood, there are too many examples of this, not to mention that Wu is still a Chinese.

Everyone knows that the success of Phantom Entertainment in recent years is inseparable from their unique vision and accurate investment, but this time, we still have to say that Phantom Entertainment has made the wrong choice, this is Hollywood, not the European literary film market, Wu will be the biggest mistake since the establishment of Phantom Entertainment!"

"The Hollywood Reporter" said conclusively that Wu Jianye's movie will be unsuitable in North America, as if Wu Jianye's movie has been released now.

And such remarks also had a strong market in Hollywood at this time.

Many people have similar thoughts to this report.

Hollywood has long been accustomed to being high, Mo said that Wu Jianye is a Chinese director, that is, European directors who come to Hollywood and are despised abound, and now that Wu Jianye has come to Hollywood, he can independently direct a mainstream Hollywood romance film.

This is not resentful for many Hollywood people.

Coupled with the fact that some people are fueling the fire, such arguments are even more marketable.

For example, Woody Allen, who once had an unhappy experience with Wu Jianye at the Berlin Film Festival.

"I don't understand what's going on in Hollywood now, does a Chinese director really understand the history of the United States? Can such a foreign director understand what the American audience wants to see?"

Another example is Daniel Lewis, who has a hatred for taking his wife with Wu Jianye!

"First of all, I declare that I broke up peacefully with Isabel Adjani, and there is no behavior of being poached, in fact, no one can snatch Isabel from my hands, as for Wu Jianye, I don't know much about him, and I have only seen his movie "New Dragon Gate Inn", I want to say that this movie is definitely not as wonderful as "Rain Man", as for why the Berlin Film Festival awarded the Golden Bear Award to "New Dragon Gate Inn" , nothing more than political considerations, I can conclude that such a person will not succeed in Hollywood!"

At the same time, many media also knew about Spielberg's affair between "Jurassic Park" and Phantom Entertainment and Wu Jianye, so they specially found Spielberg to ask him what he thought of Wu Jianye's coming to Hollywood to make films.

Spielberg: "Although my first feature-length film "Rampage" achieved some results, but I also made countless short films and TV series before I got the results of "Rampage", success is not achieved overnight, but a gradual process, my advice is that if Wu really wants to make a good mainstream film in the United States, it is best to take a period of time to familiarize himself with the culture and history of the United States, only then can he make a film that meets the needs of North American audiences!"

Although Spielberg did not directly say that Wu Jianye was not suitable for North America like the previous two, the meaning of the words still showed that Wu Jianye did not understand American culture.

"I think these people are just full and idle, what is in the way of Lao Wu making movies, besides, if Lao Wu doesn't know about the United States, can he write "Jurassic Park" and publish albums like "Born Out of Thin Air"?" Zhao Fei also saw these reports and looked very angry.

Chen Kaige smiled beside him and said: "They can't see these things, in their opinion, as long as they think you are not suitable, then you are not suitable, there is no other reason, this is Hollywood, this is North America!"

Wu Jianye doesn't care about these people's evaluations, to put it bluntly, these people have more or less had a holiday with themselves, and it would be strange if they came up to praise themselves, but now it's just a matter of making some remarks that don't hurt or itch, and they won't let Wu Jianye have less hair at all.

"Don't worry about this, we are a newcomer here now, it is already a success to be able to get these people to come out and comment, as for what they say, don't take it to heart, when the movie comes out, you will know whose face hurts!"

Chen Kaige looked at Wu Jianye enviously, since he came to Hollywood, Chen Kaige's heart has always been suffering from gains and losses, but now seeing that Wu Jianye can calmly face these remarks, he understands that he can't do this.

When a few people were chatting, it was already noon, and Hong Huang also came back.

After seeing Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei, he also seemed very happy, but Wu Jianye found that there were more and more problems between Chen Kaige and Hong Huang, and even at noon they could quarrel about what food they prepared for Wu Jianye and Zhao Fei.

"Let's eat Western food at noon, Lao Wu, I'll fry you a steak, it's definitely better than a Western restaurant!" Hong Huang said with a smile.

"What kind of Western food to eat, they are all their own people, I think they should eat Chinese food, Lao Wu They are not the kind of petty bourgeois people, don't always use your petty bourgeois ideas to measure others" Chen Kaige said dissatisfied.

"What kind of bourgeois ideology is this, Lao Wu is a guest when they come, and it is also our politeness to prepare Western food for them!" Hong Huang looked at Chen Kaige with some anger.

This made Zhao Fei feel a little uncomfortable, and when Wu Jianye sat there, he didn't take the quarrel between the two to heart at all, but just shouted: "You two quarrel first, and then tell me when it is settled!"

Wu Jianye's words made the two of them smile a little embarrassed, although the argument was gone, the atmosphere was still a little awkward.

After eating a somewhat embarrassing lunch at Chen Kaige's place, Wu Jianye left their home with Zhao Fei, who wanted to escape, and returned to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Isabelle Adjani, who had been angry with Wu Jianye's stubbornness, slowly became less angry, and there was no previous embarrassment between the two.

However, Wu Jianye knew that with the start of filming, the quarrels between the two would definitely increase.

In the evening, Wu Jianye set off to Johnson's home, Johnson personally waited for Wu Jianye at the door of the villa, and after the driver parked the car, Johnson took Wu Jianye into the villa.

"My grandfather, I want to talk to you personally!" Johnson said.

Wu Jianye nodded noncommittally, but when he followed Johnson into the old Johnson's study, he still showed a trace of embarrassment.

Old Johnson's study is a bit old, it is the kind of traditional Western study, with a large bookshelf full of books, but next to Old Johnson sat a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman, the woman's temperament is a little lazy.

What really embarrassed Wu Jianye was that in a conspicuous position in the study, there was a glass cover, and inside was the urinal he sold to Johnson.......
