After the end of the New Year in 1990, Wu Jianye did not stay in Xiangjiang for long, and the old lady had just seen Wu Qichen's freshness had not gone down, so she was not ready to come back, so Wu Jianye flew back to Yanjing directly with Dai Zhen and Chen Le.

At this time, Zhu Xuan had already packed up, and they simply stayed in Yanjing for a day, and then immediately left for Los Angeles, and Wu Nianyi was handed over to Zhu Xuan's parents to help take care of it.

This was the first time Zhu had come to Los Angeles, and after several people got off the plane, they immediately took the car that had been arranged long ago and came to their estate in Beverly Hills.

Zhu Xuan, who had already been impacted by the Wu Mansion, was not too surprised by the environment here, but she didn't see the person she knew, which still made her a little curious.

"What about that person?" Zhu Xuan asked with a complicated expression as he stood in front of Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye knew that Zhu Yan was asking Li Xiuming, and said, "I've already returned to New York!"

"You brought a pot-bellied self back to New York?"

"Don't worry, there's someone over there to take care of her!" Wu Jianye said.

"Forget it, let's take it, I came here from that time, and I know that what pregnant women need most at this time is care, not the care of outsiders!" At this time, Zhu Xuan had actually given up correcting Wu Jianye's mistakes, and these things were no longer important.

Wu Jianye smiled: "This matter, what I said doesn't count, people are afraid of you, and they are not afraid of me!"

Zhu Xuan glanced at Wu Jianye: "I'm not a tigress, I'm afraid of what I'll do, forget it, you still book me a ticket to New York!"

Wu Jianye gave Zhu Yan a thumbs up, and naturally he was still blinded.

.......

The backyard affairs were handed over to Zhu Xuan, and Wu Jianye came to Phantom Entertainment, and when she was in China, Linda had already called Wu Jianye several times, and she seemed very anxious, otherwise Wu Jianye would not have rushed back in such a hurry.

"What the hell is going on?" Wu Jianye asked directly after coming to the Phantom.

"Several major Hollywood studios have jointly issued notices in the circle that their theaters or theaters with cooperative relationships will not release the movie "Ghost Love". ”

Although the matter was a very urgent matter, Linda's face did not show much panic.

Wu Jianye said in surprise: "This time they are so united?"

You must know that because of the cooperation between Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media, Phantom Entertainment and Hollywood's major studios have been in a very tacit state of balance, and several major studios are bound to cooperate with Phantom Entertainment in order to use Fengge Media's theaters in Southeast Asia, but now they don't cooperate with Phantom Entertainment, and they still speak together

Linda explained: "Of course, it can't be so united, it's because of the operation of Lucas, Spielberg and others that there will be such a result!"

"And we have no way to refute the reasons for the replies of several major theaters, after all, they have signed a release agreement with Amblin Entertainment's "Back to the Future 3" before, and now that "Phantom Entertainment 3" is released in advance, they have no choice. ”

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "This reason is so that people have no way to say anything!"

Linda asked, "So what should I do now? Expose the matter of Oceanwide Cinemas in advance?"

Why Linda is not in a hurry, it is because there is the hole card of Oceanwide Cinemas.

"How far has Oceanwide Cinemas developed?" asked Wu Jianye.

Johnson is now specifically responsible for the expansion business of Oceanwide Cinemas, and will also directly hand over these things to Linda, so Linda knows the specific affairs more clearly than Wu Jianye.

"Haha, if you ask Linda, you might as well ask me!" At this time, Johnson's laughter suddenly came from outside Linda's office.

Wu Jianye sat on his sofa and saw Johnson walk in with a bright face.

"Tell me, how much did it cost?" Wu Jianye didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly.

Johnson said happily: "I spent a total of $230 million, I have never spent it so coolly!"

Wu Jianye glanced at Johnson, and was also surprised, at the beginning, he injected 50 million US dollars into Johnson, and then gave him 100 million, and now just after the Chinese New Year, he spent another 80 million US dollars.

"You're really willing to spend money!" Wu Jianye complained.

Johnson laughed: "The easiest thing in the world is to spend money!"

"Then tell me about your achievements!" Wu Jianye sat there and looked at Johnson for a long time, the current North American theater chain is not as expensive as in later generations, so 230 million US dollars is already a very large number.

Johnson smiled: "Now Oceanwide Cinemas has a total of 250 theaters and 3,480 screens, which is worthy of the name of the fourth largest cinema chain company in North America!"

After finishing speaking, Johnson looked at Wu Jianye with a look of praise on his face.

Hearing Johnson's achievement, Wu Jianye was indeed quite satisfied, but when he saw Johnson's stunned appearance, he put away his smile, "I'm so happy when I'm only fourth, if I become the first in the future, won't I have to take off!"

"Poof!" Linda couldn't help but laugh as she watched Johnson take a deflated look.

With the line of Oceanwide Cinemas, Wu Jianye is not worried about the so-called joint blockade, but Wu Jianye knows that as long as Phantom Entertainment announces this news, it does not mean that all problems will be solved, but it will bring more problems, because Phantom Entertainment, a production company, cannot support a cinema at all, if the remaining major production companies are determined to go against Phantom Entertainment, then Oceanwide Cinemas will face no film in addition to releasing the movies produced by Phantom Entertainment itself.

That's why Linda will find Wu Jianye to discuss this matter, after all, if this matter does not work well, it may bring a devastating blow to Oceanwide Cinemas, and then Oceanwide Cinemas will become a super drag on Phantom Entertainment's gold-swallowing beasts!

.......

Amblin Entertainment!

Spielberg and Lucas were sitting in the office, and the expressions on their faces were very relaxed at this time, this time in order to snipe Phantom Entertainment's "Ghost Love", the two launched their relationship and jointly sanctioned Phantom Entertainment.

You must know that this kind of relationship is not endlessly used, this kind of affection is used once less once, and at the same time, you have to take a lot of favors, but fortunately, in the eyes of Spielberg and Lucas, the result is still relatively good.

"Now there is only one Oceanwide cinema that has not agreed, and the other cinema companies have already agreed to our proposal!" Lucas laughed.

Spielberg smiled: "Don't worry, the Johnson family of Oceanwide Cinemas has a good relationship with Linda, and they have always been partners of Phantom Entertainment before, so it is understandable that they have been thinking about it for a long time!"

"But now it's not just us targeting Phantom Entertainment, but the entire Hollywood is boycotting the movie "Ghost Love", I believe that in the face of interests, even Oceanwide Cinemas has to consider the consequences of things!"

Lucas nodded and said: "Yes, but the relationship with Oceanwide Cinemas should not be so stiff, Oceanwide Cinemas has been making a lot of moves recently, and it is obvious that Johnson Sr. is ready to officially enter the film industry." ”

Spielberg said, "Don't worry, I'm sure no one in Hollywood is willing to turn down our friendship!"

This is the source of Spielberg and Lucas's confidence, the two of them can be said to be the two people standing at the top of Hollywood, and the theater chain and the production direction are a pair of complex brothers.

The two sides cannot simply define who is stronger, and only a specific way of treating a person will be there.

Spielberg is the most successful director and producer in Hollywood, and Lucas has the invincible IP of "Star Wars" in his hands, and the two of them have a higher voice than even the presidents of the six major productions.

Add to that the fact that behind them is the entire Jewish population of Hollywood, and they don't think they're going to lose this time!

Lucas said: "Now look at the box office results of the movie "Back to the Future 3"!"

The reason why the two were able to convince theaters in North America not to show "Ghost Love" is because of the existence of the movie "Back to the Future 3".

Although the box office of the previous "Back to the Future 2" did not reach the expected $200 million, the heart ended its release in North America, and the box office was as high as $118 million, which seems to be less than $80 million at the box office, but it is already good for the series "Back to the Future".

Now Hollywood movies can exceed 100 million dollars at the box office, which is already a very successful movie.

This also makes many theaters have a lot of self-confidence in this movie.

Of course, even Spielberg and Lucas can't make "Back to the Future 3" released in theaters all over the United States, but with the participation of several major studios, they will also send their own movies to be released in their partner theaters, anyway, as long as "Ghost Love" is not released.

Spielberg said, "I'm still very confident in this movie!"

Lucas nodded, "That's fine!"

He still believes in the gaze of his old friend.

Then Lucas thought for a moment and said, "I think you should contact Phantom Entertainment!"

Spielberg was slightly stunned and said: "Why do you contact the Phantom at this time, we should wait until the box office of "Ghost Love" hits the streets, and then contact them!"

Later generations debate endlessly about who is the greatest director Spielberg or Lucas, but if you simply say who is the most successful in the film business, Lucas is more successful.

So Lucas is looking farther now than Spielberg.

"In the final analysis, we also hope to get the copyright of "Jurassic Park", if we really let the movie "Ghost Love" have no theaters in North America, then it will completely fall out with Phantom Entertainment and Wu Jianye, now that we have the chance to win, we should also show our demeanor in a timely manner. Lucas analyzed.

"As long as Phantom Entertainment and Wu Jianye can take out the copyright of "Jurassic Park", we can also help the movie "Ghost Love" be released in North America, which is good for everyone!"

Spielberg asked, "Will this work?"

Lucas smiled confidently: "Don't worry, "The Love of People and Ghosts" is Wu Jianye's first film in North America, he will definitely attach great importance to this movie, and now he has no way back!"

"In the past, we didn't know the details of Wu Jianye, thinking that he was just an ordinary director, because of the help he had for the Phantom before, he would get the Phantom's current support, but now it seems that even if his own net worth is not invested by the production company, he can still invest in this movie, so we shouldn't get too stiff with each other, and we also need Fengge Media's influence in Southeast Asia in the future!"

After listening to Lucas's analysis, Spielberg showed a clear expression and said, "Yes, fortunately you reminded us, then all our losses before that were just calculated?

Lucas said: "Of course, it can't be just like that, but now our most important goal is to get the copyright of "Jurassic Park", as for the matter of poaching people in the digital field, we can deal with it slowly, and the steps should be taken step by step, no need to rush!"

Spielberg nodded and said, "Okay then, I'll call Linda now!"

Spielberg then called Linda's office.

Linda looked at Wu Jianye after knowing the meaning of Spielberg's call.

"What's wrong?"

"Spielberg said that it can help us open the theater's ban on "Ghost Love", but I hope we can sell him the copyright of "Jurassic Park"!" Linda covered the phone and looked at Wu Jianye with a complicated expression.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's beautiful to think, tell him that it's impossible, and he doesn't have to worry about the release of the movie "People and Ghosts Are Not Over"!"

Linda smiled and nodded, although announcing that Phantom Entertainment is the largest shareholder of Oceanwide Cinemas will bring a lot of problems to Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas, but they can't stop doing it because of the difficulty.

.......

After Spielberg put down the phone, there was a look of disbelief on his face, "The other party actually refused!"

Lucas's face changed, obviously he didn't expect Linda to refuse, you must know that Lucas's suggestion can be said to be the only way for Phantom Entertainment!

"What? refused, why?"

"I don't know, I just told us not to worry about the release of "Ghost Love"!" Spielberg put down the phone, and it was also very hard to believe.

Lucas banged on the tabletop and made a rhythmic sound: "What the hell are they?"

"Could it be that Phantom Entertainment has reached some consensus with Oceanwide Cinemas?" Spielberg asked.

Lucas muttered to himself: "Oceanwide Cinemas is not afraid to do this, will it offend the whole of Hollywood?"
