Chapter 678: Everyone Has Their Own Little Abacus (4000+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
"Haha......."
In the soft light, Wu Jianye sat in his study, looking very happy, he had just received a call from Linda, and Disney had agreed to cooperate with the Phantom.
On the phone, Linda was still saying that they had lost a little this time, but they only got the source of Disney's film, and there was nothing else to gain, but they sold the sequel copyright of one of their most potential series, "Life and Death", to the .......
Wu Jianye also appeased Linda, and hung up the phone!
Zhu Yan sat next to Wu Jianye, looked at Wu Jianye with some doubts, and asked, "What's the matter, so happy!"
returned to Los Angeles to shoot the scene in the studio, and Wu Jianye and others returned to live in the manor in Beverly Hills at night.
Wu Jianye smiled: "It's okay, it's just an idle chess, maybe it will have a good effect in the future!"
Zhu Yan glanced at Wu Jianye and muttered: "It's mysterious all day, I'll go to rest first, you also rest early, you have to shoot tomorrow!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, it's good for you to rest early!"
.......
The Phantom's collaboration with Disney was quickly revealed by the media, and in fact Eisner had no intention of keeping the matter secret.
"The Phantom has taken a stupid step this time!" Lucas also saw the news, but was not angry at Disney's sudden betrayal!
Spielberg said the same, and said with a smile: "It's similar to our speculation, among the major studios, only Disney doesn't have its own theater company, Eisner's behavior is reasonable, for Disney, they also need to have more theater partners, and now being able to connect with Oceanwide Cinemas is also a beneficial supplement for them!"
Lucas: "I just didn't expect that the Phantom would be so generous that he would take out the copyright of the sequel to "Life and Death", I really want to know what kind of reaction the Phantom and Wu Jianye had when they saw the investors of "Life and Death"!"
Spielberg smiled: "I believe it will be interesting." Then Spielberg said with some pity: "It's a pity, the result we agreed with Eisner before was to invest in the sequel series of films, and did not say the investment share of animated films, I think this time, this animated film written by Wu Jianye, Eisner will not take it out!"
Although the relationship between the two sides is hostile, both Spielberg and Lucas still recognize Wu Jianye's screenwriting ability very much.
"A sequel to Life and Death is already a good share of investment!" Lucas said contentedly.
.......
At this time, Eisner was also in his office and received calls from the executives of several major production companies.
"Eisner, the investment share of the sequel to "Life and Death" has been discussed for a long time, and the investment ...... for that cartoon" The president of Twentieth Century Fox called Eisner personally.
Eisner said with a smile: "The result we agreed on before, but there is only an investment share in sequel films, not in animated films. ”
It turned out that long before Linda went to Eisner, several major Hollywood studios, plus George Lucas's Lucasfilm, and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, already had a collective meeting.
In their opinion, the exposure of Oceanwide Cinemas this time must be a blow to Phantom Entertainment, and in order to break through the existing deadlock, Phantom Entertainment is likely to choose the method when "Ghost Love" was released last time, and what they want is the sequel copyright of a big-selling movie of Phantom Entertainment!
In fact, not only did Wu Jianye know that the so-called ban didn't play much of a role for Phantom, but several other major studios also knew that the ban didn't play a big role.
So from the beginning, they didn't think about it, nor did they announce the news of the ban, but they kept rumoring that they wanted to target Phantom Entertainment.
At this time, the momentum of Phantom Entertainment has been formed, and it is not something that can be dealt with with with a simple ban, what they have to do is to slowly erode it, only in this way is the safest.
So before Linda found Eisner, several major Hollywood studios had already set their own strategies, Wu Jianye found Disney because of the movie "Toy Story", and in the eyes of several other production companies, Disney did not have its own theater chain, and it was also the best production company for Phantom.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that this time the phantom paid so much, not only took out the sequel copyright of "Speed of Life and Death", but also came out with an animated movie written by Wu Jianye.
The presidents of all the production companies called Eisner in order to get the investment share of "Toy Story", but now the investment share of this movie is 50% for the Phantom and Disney, and Disney is naturally not obligated to give the investment share of the film to other production companies.
In fact, when he learned that the Phantom took out the sequel rights to "Life and Death", Eisner had already regretted his agreement with several other production companies.
But there is no way, this agreement has already been made, and Eisner does not have the courage to overturn this agreement, otherwise Disney would not have been able to mix in the Hollywood circle!
In general, Disney is playing the role of a gold medal undercover agent this time.
"Okay, let's not talk about the investment share of animated films, let's discuss when to announce the matter of "Speed of Life and Death"!" Eisner didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, and directly switched to the next topic.
"It's better to announce it according to the original plan when "Jurassic Park" is released, and at that time the biggest blow to the Phantom and Wu Jianye is the greatest!" said the president of Twentieth Century Fox helplessly.
It seems that it is impossible to get another piece of the animated film pie, and now the only way to stop the rise of the Phantom is to find a way!
"Alright then!" Eisner didn't have a problem with this, and after discussing some more specific details, the two hung up the phone!
Eisner hung up the phone and sat down in his place, looking very happy.
In this plan, everyone has their own calculations, Spielberg and Lucas are fighting for their own fame, and several major production companies are fighting to stop the rapid rise of the Phantom, although it seems to be the same, but Eisner pushes himself and knows that each company must have its own small calculations.
Isn't it the same with Disney, the rise of the Phantom is already unstoppable from now on, although the targeting of several major studios can slow down the development of the Phantom, but in the final analysis, it is just slowing down.
Considering Disney's own development plan and the relationship with the Phantom, it is not appropriate to meet each other with swords, and it is better that the plan is actually left and right.
In Eisner's view, the theater chain is actually not that important, as long as you can ensure that the movies produced by your company are all excellent movies, then you don't have to worry about no theaters.
What Eisner really values is actually the cooperation with the Phantom, if he can achieve the goal of long-term cooperation with the Phantom with this opportunity, it is actually the most beneficial to the development of Disney!
The Phantom has proven with his historical record that the most lucrative production company in Hollywood throughout the eighties was Phantom Entertainment.
If you can participate in Phantom Entertainment's film investment in the later stage, it will be the most beneficial to Disney!
As for the investment in the sequel to "Speed of Life and Death", Eisner is not worried, because now Phantom only has its own cooperative company, even if this news is announced, they can only be dumb and can't say anything, and they have to pinch their noses to continue to cooperate with Disney.
Going it alone is never the best direction for a company!
.......
Wu Jianye didn't know the plans of several major production companies, but even if he knew, Wu Jianye was not worried, and was even happier.
As Eisner thought, everyone has their own little abacus, and Wu Jianye must also have his own plan.
Although a lot of changes have taken place in this world because of his rebirth, the sequel to "Speed of Life and Death" will be the same as another time and space, rushing to his grandmother's house, but this is not important to Wu Jianye.
Without the Marvel Universe and without the ABC TV network, Disney is like a tiger without claws and fangs, other film studios want to slowly encroach on the Phantom, why don't Wu Jianye slowly eat them!
"Speed of Life and Death" and "Toy Story" are Wu Jianye's means.
If, like another time and space, "Speed of Life and Death" is still a big production and hits the streets, then Disney is bound to be strongly affected.
And "Toy Story" seems to have brought good income to Disney, but it also allows the Phantom to directly participate in Disney's internal work, as long as it slowly erodes in, it is not without opportunities.......
.......
After a few days of investigation, Johnson finally sent news to Wu Jianye.
"The investigation has been clear, and it is the department manager of Oceanwide Cinema who announced the news!"
Johnson's face was a little ugly, after all, it was the people under his management who made the traitor, and this department manager was still an old employee of his own company.......
"Which company's benefits did you receive?" Wu Jianye asked curiously, the traitor came from the management of Oceanwide Cinemas, Wu Jianye had actually guessed this matter, but in his opinion, the other party would definitely not sell his company for no reason.
"Universal Pictures!" Johnson said through gritted teeth.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "That's in the past, but I didn't expect that Panasonic didn't figure out his own debts, and he still had the heart to calculate us!"
"By the way, did Universal take the initiative to find him, or did he take the initiative to find Universal?" Wu Jianye asked.
Johnson said: "It was the Universal who took the initiative to find him!"
"Damn, if there was no Spielberg and others in this matter, I wouldn't believe anything!" Johnson finally scolded.
As the publisher of "Captain Hook", Universal naturally did this to fight "Jurassic Park".
"Okay, there's nothing to be angry about, now that you know who the other party is, it's easy to do, let's sue that person first!" Wu Jianye said.
That traitor must not be spared, and suing him is a regular operation.
Johnson nodded and said: "But even if you sue him, it won't have any impact on the world, I know from that person's mouth that the world is very secretive this time, and there is no evidence left at all, if it weren't for that stupid guy who had an extra heart and secretly listened to the other party's call, it is estimated that he doesn't even know who the mastermind behind his own background is!"
Wu Jianye said: "Universal doesn't have to worry about it for now, the decisive battle with him was when "Jurassic Park" was released, not now. ”
Jurassic Park's rival is Captain Hook!
In fact, it is a direct confrontation between Phantom Entertainment and Amblin Entertainment, Lucasfilm, and Universal Pictures!
As for the other production companies, they are more of the masters who hide behind and wave their flags.
As long as "Jurassic Park" can beat "Captain Hook" at the box office, then everything will be easy!
So Wu Jianye is not in a hurry to deal with the world now!
Johnson said: "Now it's the only way to go, don't worry, if you don't throw this bastard into it, I will never give up!"
Wu Jianye patted Johnson on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe in you this!"
In a society like North America, a lawsuit is about money, as long as Oceanwide Cinemas is willing to spend money, that person will lose.......
Now Phantom Entertainment's acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas is only left with the North American Congress's inquiry, and in order to cope with this inquiry, Linda flew to Washington in person.
After a lot of funds were sprinkled out, the results of the inquiry meeting came out, and the acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas by Phantom Entertainment had been revealed for a suitable reason!
In fact, it is because the entertainment industry is not a real leading enterprise in North America at this time, which makes it easier for Phantom Entertainment to deal with it.
And like Microsoft, it is impossible, even if Bill Gates is willing to spend money, it will inevitably split Microsoft in two.
With the end of the inquiry meeting, the filming of "Jurassic Park" is officially coming to an end!
With Wu Jianye's "Click!"
The filming of "Jurassic Park" in the studio is officially over!
In the end, only a few outdoor shots remained, and it was necessary to shoot near the Snake River in Montana.
Wu Jianye personally led the team, and Zhu Yan, Samnier, Richard Attenborough and others came to Montana to shoot the footage here!
With the end of the footage shooting here, the location shooting of "Jurassic Park" is finally over!
By this time it was already October. !
After Wu Jianye returned to Los Angeles, he came directly to the digital realm, and began to hold meetings with the team responsible for the special effects of "Jurassic Park" in the digital field for several days, and finally told each other all his requirements.
Then the special effects team began, and officially started the post-production special effects for "Jurassic Park"!
