When the time entered September, the filming of "Jurassic Park" in Kauai was nearing the end, and after the filming of Kauai was over, the crew entered Oahu to shoot a few shots, and finally returned to Los Angeles in mid-September!

After returning to Los Angeles, the crowd did not rest, but went directly to the studio of Twentieth Century Fox and began to shoot the interior.

At this time, everyone's cooperation has been very tacit, so the shooting is also very smooth!

However, this is the first time Wu Jianye has shot under the green screen in the studio, and there is a hint of novelty, and in later generations, green screen shooting is an inevitable thing for almost every crew, but for now, it is still a new technology, which also benefits from the full rise of digital green screen technology.

Although there was already such a technology before this, due to the problem of technology, there was no large-scale application at all, and the development of science and technology is actually the development of film technology.

It can be said that this is not only the filming process of "Jurassic Park", but also a learning process for Wu Jianye.

originally thought that the filming of "Jurassic Park" could be completed without waves, but Wu Jianye was in the Twentieth Century Fox Studio, and when filming, Linda brought unfavorable news!

The relationship between Oceanwide Cinemas and Phantom Entertainment has been officially exposed!

The most successful M&A case in history - Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas have deceived everyone!

Wu Jianye looked at the newspaper that Linda brought, which clearly stated the whole process of Phantom Entertainment's acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas, the exchange of shares for shares between the two parties, and Phantom Entertainment's investment in Oceanwide Cinemas, so that Oceanwide Cinemas could become one of the three major cinema companies in the United States through mergers and acquisitions in just over a year!

"This is the news revealed by insiders!" Wu Jianye immediately made a judgment after reading the entire report!

Linda also said with a sad face: "Johnson and I think so too!"

"Where's Johnson?" Wu asked when she didn't see Johnson coming with her.

Johnson should have been there at this time!

"Johnson is home!" replied Linda.

Wu Jianye looked at Linda and asked, "So, did Penny leak the news?"

There are only a few people who know the details of this matter, and according to Johnson's behavior, Wu Jianye remembered that arrogant Penny!

At the beginning, he had an unpleasant encounter with her in New York, but he was taken back to Los Angeles by Johnson Sr. and grounded for a period of time.

Linda nodded and said, "Johnson thought the same way, so he went home, but the specific situation, we still have to wait until Johnson comes back to be sure!"

Wu Jianye said: "Now chasing the news is who leaked it, and it is not the most important thing, how do the major production companies and the North American government respond!"

Linda's face became even more bitter, and said: "The reaction of several major production companies is very strong, just after this report came out, the company's phone has been almost blown up by them, and they have asked about the authenticity of this matter, as for the North American Congress, let us also explain!"

Wu Jianye fell into deep thought, to be honest, now the strength of the Phantom, he is no longer afraid of the targeting of several major production companies, according to later generations, the current Phantom Entertainment in addition to the TV network sector, basically completed the combination of its own ecological closed-loop chain, even if there are several major production companies, they can completely digest all their own film production.

However, Wu Jianye also knows that the behavior of the enemy of the whole world may be very bloody, but the hardships can only be understood by the parties concerned, and Wu Jianye does not want such a situation to occur unless it is absolutely necessary.

The old ancestor had already used his own methods to tell Wu Jianye how to deal with such a situation.

Combining vertical and horizontal is the best way to deal with it!

Seeing that Wu Jianye didn't speak, Linda continued: "Now several major production companies have released news that they will fully support Spielberg's "Captain Hook" when "Jurassic Park" is fully released. ”

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Even if there is no such thing, don't they already have such a plan?"

The rise of the Phantom is completely beyond the imagination of several major production companies, it can be said that the Phantom is developing at a very fast speed every year, and at this time, the Phantom acquired Oceanwide Cinemas and completed the closed-loop ecological chain of the film market, which is definitely a huge blow to several other production companies.

"Yes, now that I think about it, fortunately, when "The Love of People and Ghosts" was released, the relationship between Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas was not announced, otherwise the development of Oceanwide Cinemas at that time would definitely be subject to more resistance!" Linda said with some fear.

When "Ghost Love" was released, Phantom Entertainment had already dealt with several major production companies once, but at that time, Wu Jianye chose to sell the follow-up copyright of "Home Alone", which gave Phantom and Oceanwide a chance to breathe, and now it can be said that it reappeared yesterday.

Linda, as the head of the Phantom, knows that this crisis is even more serious for the Phantom than the last one.

When Phantom owned Oceanwide Cinemas, it really stood on the opposite side of several major production companies.

After the news was exposed, everyone began to look at the development trajectory of Oceanwide Cinemas for more than a year.

At this time, they found out that Oceanwide Cinemas had invested more than $300 million in more than a year to acquire cinema companies in North America, and had already grown into a giant.......

"What's the reaction from Time Warner?"

At the beginning, he sold the copyright of "Home Alone" to Time Warner, so that the Phantom received the theatrical support of Time Warner and the film's support for Oceanwide Cinemas, and the two sides can be regarded as a cooperative relationship, Wu Jianye now naturally wants to know what the Phantom's partners think!

"Time Warner's reaction is a bit ambiguous, but according to the news we got from Time Warner, although the other party will not really sever the cooperation with Oceanwide Cinemas due to the contract between us, it will be very difficult for them to come up with a real A-grade production!" Linda said worriedly.

Wu Jianye shook his head, he was really speechless about these companies playing with contract words!

"Looks like we need a new partner now!" said Wu Jianye!

"New partner?" Linda looked at Wu Jianye and said, "We don't have enough chips in our hands now!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Why are there not enough chips, the "Die Hard" series and the "Speed of Life and Death" series are both fragrant and sweet in the eyes of many people, as long as we take out their follow-up copyrights, are we afraid that we will not find a suitable collaborator?"

Linda immediately objected: "No, we can't sell the copyright of the movie anymore, in fact, their target does not have a great impact on us, and we have no need to sell the film copyright of our company anymore!"

Last year, Phantom Entertainment sold the copyright of "Home Alone" to Time Warner, and Time Warner has also announced that it will restart the "Home Alone" series this Christmas, which immediately caused quite a stir, and was rated by the media as one of the most anticipated works this Christmas!

The media's evaluation made Linda regret it very much, and now Wu Jianye once again proposed to sell the company's film rights, how could she, a miser, accept it!

Especially the "Speed of Life and Death" just launched in the summer of this year, it has become a benchmark movie with a small and broad picture, when this movie was painted in North America, the box office was fixed at 156 million US dollars, and the overseas box office has reached 223 million US dollars so far, and the results of the next painting are estimated to reach about 250 million.

This is even more serious than selling the follow-up copyright of "Home Alone".

As for the "Die Hard" series, Linda's heart is hot, although the income of this movie is not as high as "Speed of Life and Death", but the "Die Hard" series is easier to make into a series of movies, especially this movie has a strong appeal in the video tape market.

This year, Phantom Entertainment has come up with a production cost of 70 million US dollars to shoot the second part of this series of movies, which shows that Phantom attaches great importance to this series, and the second part of "Die Hard" will be an important weapon for Phantom Entertainment to fight against Time Warner's "Home Alone" this Christmas!

"Wu, I don't object to your idea of finding an ally, but these two series of movies are too important for the Phantom, if you sell them like this, I believe you will regret it in the future!" Linda persuaded Wu to see the night, hoping that he would give up this exaggerated idea.

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "That's it, the "Die Hard" series company will be kept first, you go to negotiate with Disney, and say that we are willing to sell the copyright of the follow-up series of "Life and Death", and at the same time I will come up with an animation script, which will be co-produced by Athena Animation and Disney!"

For the "Die Hard" series, Wu Jianye doesn't want to sell it, after all, this is a blockbuster series, but the follow-up series of "Life and Death", for Phantom Entertainment, there is actually no need to create.

The later Twentieth Century Fox has proved with a poor box office that the follow-up series of this film is a big hole, and whoever jumps dies.

"Life and Death 2", which cost 160 million to make, only has a global box office of $164.5 million, and if you add the publicity and distribution costs, Twentieth Century Fox will lose all the pants.

When Linda wanted to say something, Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "This matter is so decided, "Speed of Life and Death" is a complete story, there is no need to make a sequel, and I can't think of any other story that can take over him, and the follow-up production can only be a dog's tail sequel!"

Linda: "You're so sure?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, the most important thing is to win the plan to cooperate with Disney to produce cartoons!"

Linda thought for a long time and said, "I hope you're right!"

Wu Jianye said: "When negotiating with Disney this time, we must negotiate the release of the movie in Oceanwide Theaters, and there will be no more Time Warner situations!"

The previous negotiations with Time Warner were solely responsible for Linda, but the result was that Time Warner caught the loophole in the contract, which is Linda's responsibility in itself, but Wu Jianye didn't want to be too harsh on Linda in this kind of thing, after all, everyone has the opportunity to make mistakes.

If there is no ** today, there is no way to see the true face of Time Warner!

Let's eat a trench and grow wise!

Linda said with a slightly red face: "I know, don't worry!"

Later, Wu Jianye asked about the situation in the North American Congress, although the villain Ramon case has been loosened a lot, and other production companies have also invested in the theater company.

But if the North American Congress wants to use this to target Phantom Entertainment, it will still find a lot of ways!

Linda thought for a moment and said, "There will definitely be routine inquiries from the Congress, and we have to make some preparations now!"

Wu Jianye understood what Linda's preparation meant, and asked, "How much public relations fee is needed?"

Linda said, "According to the company's calculations, it's almost $30 million!"

Wu Jianye was surprised: "So many?"

Although 30 million US dollars is not a big amount for Wu Jianye at this time, he is still very reluctant to give it to those greedy congressmen.

Linda explained: "There is no way to do it, other production companies have been operating in North America for many years, and they have their own supporters, plus the Wall Street capital behind them, so that they will have many people to speak for them in Congress, but the Phantom has been established for too short a time, and the foundation is still not enough!"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, just give what should be given, just feed the dogs, but this incident also reminds us that we should also have our own voices in the Congress, otherwise there will be such things in the future!"

Linda nodded and said, "I know, I'll do it, but if you really want to find a congressional spokesperson for our company, then the company will have to come up with at least $15 million a year as support for them." ”

Wu Jianye also knew that this money could not be saved, and said: "Okay, you will be solely responsible for this matter!"

Wu Jianye doesn't need those North American congressmen to provide much political asylum for the Phantom, as long as they don't fall into trouble when the Phantom has a problem.

In fact, in the world, it is impossible to avoid political intervention 100% when doing business anywhere, but Wu Jianye has always been indifferent to politics, so he can only do it and never get tired of seeing each other.

At this time, Johnson also hurried over: "Ask clearly, it's not Penny who leaked the news!"
