Chapter 661: Celebration Banquet (12,000 per day, please subscribe~)
Inviting Wu Tianming to join Phantom Entertainment is not that Wu Jianye has a heart attack, first of all, Wu Jianye and Wu Tianming have a good relationship, and Wu Jianye doesn't want Wu Tianming to be too miserable in North America.
At the same time, Wu Tianming, as one of the few directors in China who has pursuits and thoughts, Wu Jianye doesn't want him to waste his business here, and it is better to be a professional he likes than to sell dumplings!
Wu Tianming pondered for a long time, to be honest, he was a little moved by Wu Jianye's proposal, but at the same time, he was a little worried.
Although Wu Tianming is now selling dumplings, he has never given up his favorite film career, so he has also taken advantage of his time in North America to study the films of two countries.
Through research, he also knows that there is still a big difference between the movies of the two countries, and the set he is familiar with in China does not work at all here.
He wondered what he could do if he joined Phantom Entertainment.
If he can't give full play to his ability, then he will become the object of help, this kind of situation, Wu Tianming is unacceptable, everyone has their own pride, Wu Tianming is no exception.
"Director Wu, to be honest, I thank you very much for your help to me, but what can I do when I join the Phantom? You also know that Hollywood is not the same as the way of making films in China, and North America pays more attention to the benefits of films, even if I go to the Phantom, the Phantom will not give me the opportunity to make films!" Wu Tianming said with a wry smile.
Wu Jianye nodded, he invited Wu Tianming to join the Phantom, not to let Wu Tianming be the director, Wu Tianming is a director like him, his roots are in China, and with the development of Chinese films, the soil of art films has become very barren, so Wu Tianming's position will become particularly embarrassing in the later stage, and the posthumous work "Ten Thousand Birds and Phoenix" must be in the form of the producer kneeling to get the opportunity to schedule the film.
"Brother Wu, although there may be fewer opportunities for filming on the Phantom's side, but a film company is not only a director, but now the Phantom's contact with China is becoming more and more frequent, I think it is better for you to be responsible for the business of contacting domestic films, so that you can contribute to Chinese films in North America!"
This is actually the way out arranged by Wu Jianye for Wu Tianming, according to the plan for the next few years, every year the Phantom will introduce 3-5 movies in Huaxia and release them in independent theaters in Europe and the United States, Wu Tianming used to be the director of Chang'an Film Studio, and has a very deep understanding of domestic films, I believe that he is responsible for this matter, which will make the whole thing smoother.
Of course, these films must be dominated by literary films, and the domestic film market has not yet recovered, and it is simply impossible to open the European and American markets with commercial films.
Wu Jianye believes that at this time in China, except for himself, no director can have box office appeal in North America, and the matter of opening the European and American markets in the form of Chinese commercial films has to be completed by Wu Jianye himself.
Sure enough, hearing Wu Jianye's arrangement, Wu Tianming's eyes, which had been lacking in spirit, bloomed with a trace of light, and then said with some worry: "It's just like this, will the phantom ...... over there?"
Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "The situation over there of the phantom, you don't have to worry, just let me solve it!"
Zhang Yimou said with a smile on the side: "It would be great if this was the case, Brother Wu, my new movie "Ju Dou" has been discussed with the domestic and Phantom Films, and will first participate in the New York Film Festival in September, and then it will be released, and you will be responsible for this matter at that time!"
Although Wu Tianming has always been very opposed to Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's affairs, Zhang Yimou has always regarded Wu Tianming as his eldest brother, and now he is very happy to see that Wu Tianming can continue to work in the film industry, and the two can cooperate in another way.
Wu Tianming also accepted Wu Jianye's arrangement at this time.
"Then I'll thank Director Wu first!" Wu Tianming said with tea instead of wine.
"Brother Wu is too polite!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Wu Yanyan on the side suddenly spoke: "Dad, you're going back to make movies, why don't you let me study movies too!"
Wu Tianming's face changed, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Didn't we already say it before?"
Wu Yanyan said aggrievedly: "You arranged it yourself, not what I thought." After finishing speaking, Wu Yanyan continued to beg: "The movie has had such a profound impact on me, if I don't do it in this life, I will definitely regret it when I am 60 years old, if I try, even if I don't succeed, I will never regret it, you can pity your Yanyan!"
Wu Jianye looked at the father and daughter curiously, although it was just a simple conversation, but it could also be heard from the content of the dialogue, it should be Wu Yanyan who wanted to study movies, but Wu Tianming disagreed.
But after all, this is their father and daughter's business, Wu Jianye didn't ask, and Zhang Yimou, who was on the side, knew more about the situation of Wu Tianming's family, and helped Wu Yanyan persuade Wu Tianming.
"Brother Wu, I think what Yan Yan said also has some truth, it's rare for children to like this industry, I know what you're worried about, but children, they always need to grow up, and they can't survive under our wings forever, since the child likes it, let her try it, at least she didn't leave any regrets for the child!"
Wu Tianming sat there, silent for a while, as if he had made up his greatest determination, hammered the table with his right hand, stood up from the chair suddenly, and helplessly said a sentence that Wu Yanyan would never forget: "Okay! You go and try! If you want to enter the movie industry, you can only rely on your own strength, don't think about relying on Lao Tzu to achieve success, even if you want to rely on Lao Tzu's help, it is unreliable!"
Seeing that his father finally agreed to his request, Wu Yanyan jumped up happily, "Thank you, Dad!"
As the hostess here, Zhu Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Wu, since the child's matter has been resolved, let's eat first, dinner is already ready at home!"
Wu Tianming looked at everyone with some ochre, and said with a smile: "Let everyone see the joke!"
Everyone also laughed, didn't say anything, and went to the restaurant to eat.
On the way, Zhu Yan asked Wu Jianye in a whisper: "What if you say that you don't want to work according to your arrangement in the future?"
Wu Jianye said calmly: "Lao Tzu broke his leg!"
Zhu Yan: "......"
In fact, this is also Wu Nianyi's fate in the future, Wu Jianye created a large family business, he can allow Wu Nianyi not to like the entertainment industry, but he can't not accept Wu Jianye's family business, and Wu Jianye's family business can only be accepted by Wu Nianyi in the future!
This is his fate!
Wu Tianming, who solved his own problems on the side, finally had time to care about Zhang Yimou's personal problems.
The two of them were behind everyone, and Wu Tianming asked in a low voice, "How is your matter with Xiao Hua?"
Zhang Yimou said with a complicated expression: "It's almost, when I return to China, I will discuss the specific divorce!"
Wu Tianming sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to come to this point in the end, forget it, I'm not the director of Chang'an Studios now, and I don't care about your personal problems!"
At the beginning, Xiao Hua had a trouble in the factory because of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's affairs, which made Wu Tianming very angry, and it was not Xiao Hua who was angry, but Zhang Yimou, at that time in China, the matter between men and women was a very serious problem, and Zhang Yimou almost ruined his fledgling career in China.
Zhang Yimou sighed: "Let you worry about it, big brother!"
"Humph!"
.......
There is more than one restaurant in the manor, after a few people came to the restaurant, the meal prepared by Master Chen has been put on the table, and Wu Jianye even asked his subordinates to bring a few bottles of Moutai in Chinatown, and everyone sat together, chatting about domestic movies and Hollywood movies, but it was also lively!
.......
In the next few days, Wu Jianye took Wu Tianming to Phantom Entertainment, met Linda, and officially confirmed Wu Tianming's work in Phantom, Wu Tianming was going back to New York to deal with some finishing things, and only after finishing things could he return to Los Angeles to officially join Phantom Entertainment!
And at this time, the celebration banquet of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" has finally officially begun!
Los Angeles' premier ballroom, Pfister Ballroom, is lit up and star-studded on this day!
In the middle of the ballroom is a huge chandelier, which is decorated like a sky full of stars.
The celebration banquet has begun, and compared with the premiere of "People and Ghosts", the celebration banquet is even more starry!
"The Love of People and Ghosts" became famous in a fight, completely reversed all the previous public opinion, and coupled with the development of the phantom for more than half a year, it became more and more powerful.
Spielberg and others' soft ban on the Phantom has effectively existed in name only.
Hollywood is a huge vanity fair, everyone is fighting around their own interests, before they didn't want to offend the Hollywood Jews led by Spielberg and Lucas because of the Phantom, but now it's different, the Phantom and Wu Jianye's momentum has become a success, and no one dares to underestimate them.
However, compared to Wu Jianye, Linda is more like the protagonist of this celebration banquet, which is also a matter of no way, even if Wu Jianye succeeds, it is also a successful movie, although it has become famous, but the background is always insufficient.
But Linda is different, as the president of Phantom Entertainment, she can be said to be a high power in Hollywood at this time, and she is the object of everyone's stitching.
Of course, for the top stars, directors and producers in the circle, they still have their own reserves.
To summarize simply, at the beginning of the celebration banquet, Linda was surrounded by more quasi-first-line stars, directors, and Wu Jianye was surrounded by more friends and second- and third-tier movie stars who wanted to get ahead.
As for Johnson, he is surrounded by producers and bosses of independent production companies, who makes the current Oceanwide Cinemas also have a number of cinema companies in North America!
Even if "The Love of People and Ghosts" has been successful, but the acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas has not stopped, after the end of "Ghost Love", Oceanwide Cinemas once again got an investment of 80 million, but this time the acquisition is no longer the mainstream cinema in North America, but the independent cinema in North America.
A successful film company can't only release mainstream movies, they also need to have successful literary films to improve their company.
"This time, the formation is much better than the previous premiere!" Keanu Reeves held his wine glass with a smile on his face!
Sandra Bullock also nodded again and again, the venue is really full of bigwigs, Twentieth Century Fox, Disney, Time Warner, Universal, Paramount, Sony Pictures executives have all come to the scene, which was unimaginable in the past, after all, now the Phantom has a direct competition with them!
At the same time, Sandra Bullock also saw Hollywood's top stars Harrison Ford, Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise and others at the banquet.
You must know that they were the main players in Spielberg's camp at the beginning, but now they have come to participate in the Phantom's celebration banquet, and the signal released by this is enough to shock many people!
In fact, in Hollywood, and even in the global entertainment industry, the relationship between the entire entertainment industry cannot be described as simple hostility, there are too many interests intertwined, and there are too many calculations!
The world is not as simple as black and white, in fact, the gray area is the mainstream color of this world.
Wu Jianye smiled, he was not surprised at all about the current situation, and said: "When "Speed of Life and Death" is painted in the future, the company will also hold a celebration banquet for you!"
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, when they heard Wu Jianye say this, they also showed happy smiles, because it meant that Wu Jianye was very optimistic about this movie.
But now Sandra Bullock is very regular, no way, who let Wu Jianye stand next to his wife!
Zhu Xuan also made his official debut in Hollywood today, wearing a white bare-shouldered long skirt with an elegant temperament, even in Hollywood, where there are many beautiful women, Zhu Xuan is not inferior to many women.
In fact, Isabel Adjani also saw Zhu Xuan, although she was surprised by Zhu Xuan's beauty, but there was not much psychological fluctuation, and the matter between her and Wu Jianye was long in the past.
And the movie "Jurassic Park" is obviously a commercial blockbuster, and it is not very attractive to actors like Isabel Adjani.
At the same time, there is no shortage of good scripts in her hands.
Unlike Wu Jianye, Isabelle Adjani and Mel Gibson are both white Europeans and Americans, and it is easier for them to integrate into the mainstream circle of Hollywood.
As for Wu Jianye, although he has become a hot new director in Hollywood with "Ghost Love", there will still be a lot of discrimination against him as a Chinese director, but this discrimination was put on the bright side before, and now this discrimination is well hidden by them!
Wu Jianye asked Zhu Xuan softly: "How is it, are you still used to such an environment?"
Zhu Xuan understood that this was building momentum for "Jurassic Park", and said with a smile: "It's okay!"
