Since the other party is not optimistic about his appeal in North America, it is better to directly take the movie "Ghost Love" as the first film independently released by Phantom Entertainment!

This is Wu Jianye's thoughts.

After Linda heard Wu Jianye's thoughts, she also showed a trace of excitement, although Phantom Entertainment has been involved in the distribution industry, it has always been a small fight, more to find some good films at several major European film festivals, and then take them to North America for distribution, this behavior is more like the behavior of independent studios in Hollywood.

As for the movies that Phantom Entertainment invested and shot by itself before, in fact, they were all cooperated with Universal or 21st Century Fox, and the movies that the other party was optimistic about would participate in the investment, and if they were not optimistic, they would only be responsible for distribution.

It can be said that there has not been a situation where there has been its own independent distribution of mainstream films in North America.

Now Wu Jianye wants to make "Ghost Love" the first mainstream film released in North America by Phantom Entertainment, which shows Wu Jianye's confidence in this movie.

And this can also better hide the action of Phantom Entertainment, after all, this is the first few major studios not to want to release.

Because there is a confidentiality agreement in the agreement between Wu Jianye and Johnson Sr., even now that Phantom Entertainment has become the largest shareholder of Oceanwide Cinemas, it has not been announced, and no one knows about this acquisition except for a few participants.

At this time, although Phantom Entertainment is already quite threatening in the eyes of several major studios, as long as they do not have their own theaters and their own complete distribution network, the threat of Phantom Entertainment is limited.

Now the two sides are almost in a delicate balance point, the movies produced by Phantom Entertainment have become films that several major studios are vying to invest in, after all, almost all the movies produced by Phantom in recent years are profitable, and some are even phenomenal movies.

In the past, several major studios missed Arnold Schwarzenegger's first film and the investment in "The Lion King", especially "The Lion King", and almost regretted that their livers were green, and there was a time when several major studios even concluded that as long as it was a film invested by Phantom Entertainment themselves, they would cooperate with it.

But soon this idea was broken by reality, and they were really not optimistic about Wu Jianye's investment.

Even if there is a European box office bonus, the European movie box office has always been a very fascinating existence, and they clearly indicate that European audiences are pursuing art films, but now according to the data, European audiences have become more and more welcoming to North American blockbusters.

In fact, the living space of art films is getting smaller and smaller.

And Wu Jianye's new film shows that this is a mainstream love commercial film in North America, that is to say, Wu Jianye has abandoned the audience group that was originally established in Europe, even with the joining of Isabel Adjani, whether this movie can succeed in Europe is still a huge question mark.

More likely to be a no-two!

There is no way to satisfy one's own existing audience, nor to capture a new one.

Just like the online writers of later generations, an urban god-level author, if he rashly changes to fantasy or Xianxia, he is also very likely to face the same as hitting the street.

Different from the skeptical attitude of several major studios towards Wu Jianye, although Linda also has some doubts, it is more trusting, because Wu Jianye has not made a mistake.

If Phantom Entertainment can really rely on the movie "Ghost Love" to completely help Phantom Entertainment open the distribution network of mainstream movies, coupled with Oceanwide Cinemas, which is now expanding its power, then Phantom Entertainment can really sit firmly in the position of the seven major Hollywood studios.

"Okay, I'm going to tell Universal and 21st Century Fox right now that we're going to be in charge of distributing the film, but I think even then, they're going to have some moves!" Linda said.

The plan is perfect, but it doesn't mean that there are no problems, although several major studios will not have much action because of this movie, there will definitely be some action, but the intensity will not be too big, plus now several major studios are staring at "Jurassic Park".

If Wu Jianye's "Ghost Love" hits the street at the box office, then they can convince Phantom Entertainment to give up "Jurassic Park" directed by Wu Jianye.

The twists and turns in this can be said to be like a ball of threads, each studio has its own plans, but the overall problem is that they will boycott the film to a certain extent, but not too much.

This is the opportunity for Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment!

"Well, you can talk to them about specific things!" Wu Jianye said.

How to eliminate the boycott of several major studios to the greatest extent, Linda still has these abilities!

When the two were chatting, Wu Jianye's phone rang suddenly, and after connecting, it turned out to be Chen Kaige calling, and his tone was a little anxious.

Wu Jianye hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, don't be in a hurry and say it slowly!"

After listening to Chen Kaige's narration, Wu Jianye said to Linda helplessly: "Contact the company's lawyer and follow me to the police station!"

It turned out that Chen Kaige had been taking Zhao Fei, Tan Yang and others to visit Hollywood in the past two days, but there were obviously some problems today, a few people had some conflicts with a few locals when they were visiting Los Angeles, and they naturally wouldn't suffer a loss with Tan Yang, but they were also caught by people from the police station and brought to the police station.

After Linda listened, she didn't delay and immediately called the company's legal counsel, and the other party soon came over and was a white man in his thirties with glasses, named Chuck McGill.

Wu Jianye took Chuck McGill to the police station quickly, and after arriving at the police station, everything was handed over to Chuck McGill, and Chen Kaige, Zhao Fei, Tan Yang and others were quickly brought out.

Seeing that there were no scars on their bodies, Wu Jianye was relieved.

Not only that, but there were even some excited expressions on everyone's faces, Zhao Fei said to Wu Jianye: "Old Wu, do me a favor and get out the gang of people who clashed with us, right?"

"What?" Wu Jianye looked at Zhao Fei in surprise, the two gangs had just returned the stubble, and now they let themselves help them out?

"Those buddies are very interesting, we have already talked about the previous things, they are all misunderstandings, and there is a buddy in those gang who is still studying acting, haven't you always wanted to find Carl's actor? I feel that buddy is quite similar!" Zhao Fei said with a smile.

Zhao Fei has already read the script of "The Love of People and Ghosts", and he knows the characters in the movie very well.

Although Wu Jianye didn't believe that the person who had a fight with Zhao Fei and the others would be a character, he still let Chuck McGill save the others.

"Dude, thank you!" The leader was a white man, about thirty years old, not fat or thin, and somewhat handsome.

When he saw Zhao Fei, he greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Fei introduced him to Wu Jianye: "Tony, this is the director Wu Jianye I told you! Old Wu This is Tony Godwin, the buddy who just had a fight with us!"

Wu Jianye: "......"

Tony Godwin Wu Jianye naturally knew each other, and at this time, Wu Jianye could only sigh that fate was wonderful!

Phantom Entertainment searched all over Hollywood, but he couldn't find him, but now he is standing here alive, and he has a fight with Zhao Fei and others.......

"Hey, Wu, I know you, I've seen your director's "New Dragon Gate Inn", and the fights in it are so exciting!" Tony Goldwin said familiarly.

"Old Wu, you don't know yet, Tony has studied acting as a child, and when I was in there just now, I talked to him and had some ideas of his own!" Zhao Fei said.

"Tony, hello!" Wu Jianye held out his hand.

To be honest, seeing Tony Godwin here still made Wu Jianye a little unbelievable, although this actor rarely appears in front of the stage in later generations, but looking at his life experience, the family situation should be good, and it should not be reduced to the point of being on the street.

But now that the facts are in front of Wu Jianye, he has no choice but to accept this beautiful coincidence.

"Well, thank you for this time, how about it, will there be something going on?, why don't I invite you to dinner?" said Tony Goldwin with a smile.

Wu saw that he had the intention to sign him, so he did not refuse, and after letting Chuck McGill return to Phantom Entertainment, he followed Tony Godwin to a small restaurant.

When several people sat together and chatted, Wu Jianye knew that Tony Godwin had indeed learned acting, but why did he end up on the streets, Tony Godwin didn't say anything, and Wu Jianye didn't ask.

In the United States, this is a private matter, and they take these things very seriously.

"You know I'm working on my first Hollywood movie right now, and there's still a male number two missing in it, are you interested in trying it?"

After chatting for a while, Wu Jianye asked.

When Tony Goldwin heard Wu Jianye say this, he immediately showed an excited expression: "Can I really do it?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Of course, but you have to pass the audition before you can become an official actor!"

Although when chatting, Tony Godwin showed his understanding of acting, but that was only at the theoretical level, and his specific performance, Wu Jianye still had to take a look.

After all, Carl in "The Love of People and Ghosts" is an important second male role, Wu Jianye still has to look at his acting ability, although Carl's role is important, but it is not irreplaceable, so if Tony Godwin's performance is unqualified in the specific audition process, Wu Jianye will still not use him!

Tony Godwin, unlike Whoopi Goldberg, is always acting, and he's just an ordinary guy with no job now!

Hearing that Wu Jianye let himself audition, Tony Godwin immediately smiled: "Don't worry, I'm sure I can!"

Tony Godwin is confident in his own ability, although the general public opinion trend in Hollywood is not optimistic about the movie "Ghost Love", but that is only for first- and second-tier actors, they have a lot of choices, and they don't necessarily need this movie, but Tony Godwin is different, he has always wanted to be an actor, but in Hollywood, people like him are like carp crossing the river, and it is too difficult to have such an opportunity.

And he also wants to prove to some people that he is capable of becoming an actor.

"Okay, tomorrow morning you go to Phantom Entertainment, and I'll audition for you myself!" Wu Jianye said.

After finalizing Tony Godwin, Wu Jianye took Zhao Fei and others back to the hotel.

On the road, Wu Jianye knew that the contradiction between the two sides was accidentally encountered on the road, and he could basically refer to the domestic Northeast dialect.

"What are you looking at!"

"Look at you!"

.......

But basically, if the Northeast people encounter such a conversation, they basically can't fight, but it's different here, although Tony Godwin is very polite and enthusiastic when he talks to Wu Jianye, but he is also a short-hearted person, and it is obvious that he has not obtained the essence of the spirit of the Northeast people!

Both sides moved, and then the police arrived, and both sides were taken to the police station.

After returning to the hotel, Wu Jianye found that Chen Kaige had no intention of leaving, thinking that he and Hong Huang could not get it right, it was not as good as the previous life, although the two of them had begun to quarrel when they were in the United States, but the divorce was at least after returning to China.

But now whether the two of them can hold on to that time is really not certain!

For this kind of thing, Wu Jianye didn't bother to ask, threw the two of them into their room, and went back to his room.

The next day, Wu Jianye was at Phantom Entertainment and met Tony Goldwin.

"Director Wu!" After seeing Wu see the night, Tony Godwin was also very excited.

"Let's go, let's go in!" Wu Jianye said and walked into Phantom Entertainment with Tony Godwin.

The audition process made Wu Jianye very satisfied, Tony Godwin's performance was of a very high standard, Wu Jianye thought that as long as his own level could reach the average, it would be good, and when it was time for the official shooting, he would be able to train and train well, and he would almost be able to reach the level of the previous life.

Now it seems that a lot of effort will be saved when it comes to the official shooting.

Later, Wu Jianye found the staff of Phantom Entertainment and prepared a contract for Tony Godwin, and the content was actually similar to the previous ones.

However, Tony Godwin's salary was directly reduced to $80,000!

This saves a lot of salary, after all, if you are a famous actor, you must prepare at least a salary of more than 2 million US dollars.

After Tony Godwin signed the contract, he said to Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, thank you!"

Wu Jianye gave the script of "Ghost Love" to Tony Goldwin, and said: "After I go back, study the script carefully, the crew will have an early meeting in the next few days, don't forget to participate when the time comes!"

"Okay!" Tony Godwin agreed with a smile.

After Phantom Entertainment came out, Tony Godwin beckoned a taxi and directly reported the address of an apartment, today he signed a contract with Phantom Entertainment, so naturally he has to go back and let some people see that he can become an actor!
