The Johnson family is a very low-key wealthy family in Los Angeles, which is little known by the general public, but in recent years, with the rise of Oceanwide Cinemas in the United States, people have re-acquainted themselves with this giant.

The founder of the Johnson family is Johnson's grandfather Jay Johnson, through student loans, Jay Johnson received a degree from Harvard Law School, and then founded his own law firm, in the forties and fifties, Jay Johnson's law firm was already a well-known company in Los Angeles, and then Jay Johnson began to invest in real estate, and then slowly shifted his center to investment!

After decades of development, Johnson has now invested in the directors of more than a dozen companies.

Jay Johnson also has a son and a daughter, the eldest son is Johnson's father Thomas Johnson, and the daughter is Nancy Johnson, just like his father, Thomas and Nancy also graduated from Harvard Law School.

Thomas is more interested in law, so he now has a law firm founded by his father, while Nancy is in charge of the Johnson family's investment firm.

In recent years, the two siblings have been fighting openly and secretly, but it is not too much, everything is within the acceptable range of Johnson Sr.

"In other words, Nancy is now more valued than Johnson's father!" Wu Jianye analyzed after listening to it.

Although Johnson Law was the first company founded by Jay Johnson, the fact that the Johnson family's business sector has long since shifted to investment firms, and the investment firm, which Jay Johnson values more, has been handed over to Nancy Johnson, which speaks for itself.

Linda said: "I can't say that, Johnson Law Company, although it seems that the market value of the investment company is higher, but the law firm is the foundation of the Johnson family, and it has cooperated with many large consortia in the United States, and the relationship between the two companies is inextricably linked, and it is impossible to say who is good and who is bad!"

Johnson's full name is Daniel Johnson, and he also has an older brother named Nick Johnson.

The two brothers are two extremes, with Nick Johnson showing his flair in law and business early on, and is now one of the best lawyers in the younger generation, as well as investing in several promising firms.

is known as the most similar to Jay Johnson in the third generation of the Johnson family, and Daniel is a little more squirming, if it weren't for Oceanwide Cinemas, he would probably be the worst third generation of the Johnson family now!

"How's Johnson's relationship with his brother?" Wu Jianye continued.

"Very good, Nick is a very responsible person who takes great care of his younger siblings, and even Nancy's daughter has a lot of respect for Nick. Linda sparkled as she spoke to Nick Johnson.

"Do you like him?" asked Wu Jianye with a smile.

"It's appreciation!" Linda said.

Wu Jianye nodded, didn't ask Linda what she thought of Nick, and continued to ask, "What about Nancy's family?"

"Nancy's husband is a painter, but not famous, Nancy has a daughter named Penny Robinson, who is a very strange girl!" Linda's tone was a little weird.

Wu Jianye glanced at Linda curiously.

Linda smiled: "When she was young, Penny was even better than Nick, but soon Penny's energy was not only on business, she may have inherited her father's genes, and she was very interested in art things. It's just a little tsundere in being a ......"

"This family is so interesting!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Johnson's Oceanwide Cinemas was actually a subsidiary of an investment company at the beginning, and now although Johnson is in charge, the largest shareholder is Johnson Investments!" Linda said.

knew that Wu Jianye had always wanted to have his own cinema company in North America, and this time he got in touch with Johnson, and Linda also knew from Johnson's mouth that Wu Jianye wanted to take a stake in Oceanwide Cinemas, so she focused on introducing the situation of Oceanwide Cinemas for Wu Jianye.

Oceanwide Cinemas' theater distribution is more concentrated in California, although the number of screens is not as good as many companies, but because of its location, the market value of Oceanwide Cinemas is higher than that of many companies with more screens than itself.

Due to the relaxation of the regulatory policy of the American government, the Paramount judgment issued by the American government for antitrust considerations has gradually lost its effectiveness, so now several major Hollywood studios have begun to re-deploy theaters.

And the Johnson family's Oceanwide Cinemas has also become a sweet spot, and many studios have thrown olive branches to Oceanwide Cinemas!

"It seems that there are a lot of competitors!" Wu Jianye asked, "Who is the biggest opponent of Phantom Entertainment now?"

"Columbia Pictures, but now there has been news that RB's Sony is very interested in Columbia Pictures and has been contacting Coca-Cola to buy their shares in Columbia Pictures, and now Columbia Pictures is showing interest in Oceanwide Cinemas, which should also be an act of wanting to increase the purchase price!" Linda said.

"What does the Johnson family think?"

"The Johnson family is divided into two factions, and Daniel naturally doesn't want to sell, but Penny has been urging her mother to sell the shares of Oceanwide Cinemas, and the two sides have never reached a consensus!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, the basic situation has been understood, let's meet Johnson first!"

Linda said, "Then I'll help you contact Daniel!"

Wu Jianye said: "Okay, I'll go to the hotel first, and after contacting, you tell me the place!"

Linda saw that Wu was leaving, and proposed: "Wu, you will stay in Los Angeles for a long time this time, and it is not a way to stay in a hotel all the time, I think you might as well buy a villa in Beverly Hills." ”

Wu Jianye thought about it for a while and said, "You can also help me deal with this matter!"

Linda glanced at Wu Jianye helplessly and said, "You are very skillful at doing this hand-shaking shopkeeper!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "Practice makes perfect!"

After leaving Phantom Entertainment, Wu Jianye returned directly to the hotel, where was there a French rose waiting for him.

However, when Wu Jianye came to the hotel, the two did not immediately start to turn over the clouds, but Isabel Adjani grabbed Wu Jianye and began to talk about some of her thoughts on the movie "People and Ghosts".

"The script of this movie has been determined, it will not change, you just need to give full play to your abilities in the story provided by the script!" Wu Jianye did not adopt Isabel Adjani's suggestion, because many of Isabel Adjani's ideas have deviated from the original intention of "People and Ghosts" in Wu Jianye's opinion.

The reason why this movie can be called a classic is more because this movie is actually a typical Western love story, and it is easy to understand, which can make ordinary audiences feel empathy.

But after studying the movie "Ghost Love" for half a year, Isabelle Adjani clearly wanted to add something deeper to it.

This is not something that Wu Jianye can accept.

"Why can't you change, Wu, I'm the heroine of this movie, after the movie starts, I'll be Miri, no one knows Mili's psychological changes better than me, I think my idea is completely right!" Isabel Adjani also thinks that her idea is more suitable for the role.

"If you follow your idea, the entire script of this movie needs to be pushed to reconstruction, which is contrary to the story in my heart, which is impossible!" Wu Jianye also has his own insistence on the creation of the movie, and he will not change because this person is Isabel Adjani.

In the end, neither of them convinced anyone, and this became the first quarrel between the two.

And Wu Jianye also discovered that Isabelle Adjani had her own paranoia in the creation of the film, which reminded him of some rumors about Isabelle Adjani on the set.

That is, when Isabel Adjani was on the set, she controlled Yuwang very strongly, and was often willing to meddle in the creation of movies, but Wu Jianye didn't take this to heart, in the movies he directed, no one could challenge his authority!

Even if this person is Isabel Adjani, it can't!

The two eventually broke up!

It is conceivable that these two people are extremely stubborn people on the set, and when the movie starts shooting, there will definitely be more sparks!

In the evening, Wu Jianye met Daniel Johnson at a restaurant on the Avenue of Stars!

The atmosphere of the restaurant is very elegant, but the rules of the restaurant are also Wu Jianye's least favorite place, because there are dress codes for eating in this shabby place.

After Johnson saw Wu Jianye, he showed a complicated expression, all the things he had with Wu Jianye before, it was impossible to say that it was impossible to let go, such a shameful thing, it was impossible for anyone to really let go.

The last time I saw him in Berlin, Wu Jianye actually talked about the request to invest in Oceanwide Cinemas, which was another major blow to Johnson.

Unexpectedly, I haven't seen him for a few years, Wu Jianye has grown into a person who needs to look up or up.

Now that the two have even talked about business cooperation, Johnson can't help but think of the last time he was deceived.

So after returning to Los Angeles and thinking about it for a long time, Johnson still didn't plan to cooperate with Wu Jianye, and this is what he said after being bitten by a snake for ten years.

However, when Johnson told his grandfather about it, Jay Johnson asked Johnson to listen to Wu Jianye's specific plan.

Although Johnson is the least accomplished of the third generation of the Johnson family, he is Jay Johnson's favorite grandson, which is also something that has no place to reason.

"Tell me about your plan!" Johnson said straight to the point after waiting for Wu to sit down.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "What are you doing in such a hurry, shouldn't old friends meet to catch up first!"

The corners of Johnson's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he said, "Don't, we have nothing to talk about." ”

Wu Jianye said: "It's a joke, but you shouldn't still take the previous things to heart, what a big thing, be careful!"

Johnson's hand clenched the knife and fork tightly, and said, "If you let it hang up and beat it, I can put it down!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "I'm not stupid!"

Johnson: "......"

Wu Jianye continued: "If you come to me for dinner in the future, can you go to a better restaurant, look at the shabby place you are looking for, in order to come here to eat, I have to change into formal clothes, I am not comfortable at all." ”

Johnson said angrily: "Broken place, this is the most famous Michelin restaurant in Hollywood, and there is no Michelin restaurant in China now!"

Wu Jianye seemed to be deliberately provoking Johnson's anger, and said dissatisfiedly: "A tire maker made a Michelin-starred restaurant, and fooled you, you shouldn't have anything to do with this restaurant, right?"

The emergence of Michelin-starred restaurants is just a marketing ploy made by Michelin tires in order to promote their own tires, and in the end it did not become a big hit in Western countries, and then slowly became a benchmark in the Western catering industry, and often a slogan may become an advertisement for a restaurant.

It's not the first time Wu Jianye has eaten at a Michelin-starred restaurant, but to be honest, Wu Jianye really doesn't dare to compliment their so-called selection criteria.

As a Michelin star judge from France, in fact, he has his own pride and prejudice in his heart, and later Michelin entered China, because the sauce of Cantonese cuisine is somewhat similar to French cuisine, so the Michelin selection in China is mostly Cantonese cuisine.

A selection that does not have enough understanding of Chinese cuisine at all, but it has become the choice of many people to clear mines, sometimes think about it, it is actually quite funny.

Johnson took a deep breath and decided not to compare this truth with Wu Jianye, and said, "Next time, you will choose the place!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Why bother next time, we can choose this time!"

After saying that, he stood up and pulled Johnson to leave.

"Don't, don't, it's rude to leave like this, let's eat here now!" Johnson said quickly.

At this time, the behavior of the two has attracted the attention of some people, which makes Johnson feel very shameless.

"Wu, I beg you, be a person!"

Wu Jianye: "......"

Seeing that the amusement was almost over, Wu Jianye stopped teasing Johnson, and said with a smile: "I know that the largest shareholder of Oceanwide Cinemas is your family investment company, I want to spend $50 million to buy Johnson's 72% stake in Oceanwide Cinemas, and then inject $50 million as funds for Oceanwide Cinemas' early acquisition and expansion, this money will not dilute your equity in Oceanwide Cinemas!"

Johnson said: "Impossible, Oceanwide Cinemas allows you to take shares, but you must not control, this is the bottom line of Oceanwide Cinemas!"

After finishing speaking, Johnson couldn't help but want to slap himself in the face, and suddenly said his bottom line, which is a taboo during negotiations.

At this time, Johnson realized that the reason why Wu Jianye was like that just now was actually to disrupt his psychological defense.......
