Spielberg and Lucas didn't expect that Phantom Entertainment was now the largest shareholder of Oceanwide Cinemas, and during the time they watched, Phantom Entertainment had too many moves.

The acquisition of Marvel, the acquisition of Ryan Publishing, the formation of his own special effects company, and his own film investment, these are all costly.

In fact, this matter, not only Spielberg, Lucas did not expect it, but also other film companies did not think of it, no one knew what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Phantom Entertainment, seeing that "Human Ghost Love" was about to be released, he was not in a hurry.

is still promoting this movie in an orderly manner.

Of course, everyone thinks that if that's the case, Oceanwide Cinemas will be the most likely to release the movie.

So for a while, Johnson's phone call was about to be blown up by the presidents of several major studios, and the movie "Ghost Love" was mentioned intentionally or unintentionally, and the meaning conveyed was also to ask Johnson not to go his own way, otherwise he would face the consequences of having no film to go on later.

On this day, Wu Jianye, Linda, and Johnson gathered again at Phantom Entertainment.

"What should I do? Almost all the studios are calling now!" Johnson said with some anxiety, Oceanwide Cinemas is now under his control, and if Oceanwide Cinemas ends up with no film released in the end, it will be too big a blow to him.

Although Linda didn't say anything, she was also looking at Wu Jianye, she also needed an answer, in Phantom Entertainment, in addition to Wu Jianye, she is the largest shareholder, Oceanwide Cinemas is also a subsidiary of Phantom Entertainment, if Oceanwide Cinemas loses money, then her economy will also suffer.

Wu Jianye waved his hand and said: "Don't panic when you encounter something, in the end, Spielberg and the others and the six major studios have only temporarily formed a short-term alliance because of interest issues, and this alliance is not indestructible." ”

Linda said, "I know, you're very confident in your film, if, I mean if, if your movie has a waterloo at the box office, then Phantom Entertainment will lose not only the investment in the film, but also the company's next series of plans!"

Wu Jianye said: "I know all this, I have already said just now, this matter is not without a solution, what an alliance of interests is most afraid of is that there is a traitor in the middle, if there is a traitor, his alliance will actually fall apart!"

Linda looked at Wu Jianye curiously and asked, "What do you mean......"

"Since they are combined in the way of interests, then let's let them disintegrate in the way of interests!" Wu Jianye said confidently.

"What's the solution?" asked Linda.

During this time, Linda's pressure was actually not small, and she originally thought that Phantom Entertainment had its own theater, which was enough to sit back and relax, but now it seems that she was still thinking too simple before, and she was already anxious that the company's senior management had a meeting for several days.

If Oceanwide Cinemas is really boycotted by other production companies, then the movies made by Phantom Entertainment every year are simply not enough to cope with the number of movies played in an entire theater chain.

"You said that if the company was going to sell the rights to the Home Alone series, how would other Hollywood film studios react!" said Wu Jianye.

Linda directly vetoed: "No." Then he looked at Wu Jianye a little helplessly, and said: "I know your idea, you want to use the copyright of "Home Alone" as a weapon to knock on his door of the alliance of interests, and now "Home Alone" has been refrigerated by our company, but it does not mean that this series has no vitality, it only takes a few years before we can restart this series, this series is an important weapon of the company!"

"Home Alone" can be said to be the key to the success of Phantom Entertainment, in the first few years of Phantom Entertainment's start-up, it was "Home Alone" that allowed Phantom Entertainment to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, and now Wu Jianye actually wants to sell this series, Linda can't accept this suggestion whether it is out of emotional considerations or interest considerations!

Wu Jianye naturally understood Linda's thoughts, shook his head, and said: "I know what you think, but to be honest, the vitality of this series has been almost consumed by Phantom Entertainment, if it is sold now, it will not be a big loss for Phantom Entertainment, and in the future, you will find that the IP in the hands of Phantom Entertainment will give you more headaches, so you don't have to worry about this series at all!"

Wu Jianye, as a reborn, naturally knows what the later "Home Alone" is like, except for the last "Home Alone", there are almost no works that can be handled.

As for Phantom Entertainment itself, there are a lot of IPs in his hands now, the "Jurassic Park" series, the "Harry Potter" series, the "Marvel Universe" series, the "Terminator" series.......

It can be said that as long as you grasp these series, Phantom is destined to become one of the biggest companies in Hollywood.

"No, I don't agree!" Linda said stubbornly.

This is the first time Linda has explicitly expressed her opposition to Wu Jianye's decision.

Wu Jianye glanced at Linda and said: "If you don't agree, then you can only wait until the release of "Human and Ghost Love", just now you said if, but in my dictionary, there is no two words "if", I firmly believe that this movie will be successful, as long as this movie is successful, the box office failure of "Back to the Future 3", then for their so-called alliance, in fact, there is no existence!"

Linda glanced at Wu Jianye helplessly and asked, "Is there no other way?"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Yes, if the Phantom acquires one of the six more, their alliance can also be self-defeating!"

Hearing Wu Jianye's answer, Linda and Johnson rolled their eyes at the same time, is the Big Six so easy to acquire?

If it is the environment of the past few years, it is possible, but at that time Phantom Entertainment had no money, and now Phantom Entertainment has money, but the Big Six have all been acquired by large media groups, and people are not short of money at all, that is, Universal, which is now clamoring to be sold every day, also has a strong and competitor, RB's Panasonic.

If they really want to acquire Universal, unless Wu Jianye continues to inject capital into Phantom Entertainment, it is possible to compete with Panasonic, but at that time, the shares of Linda and others will be further diluted, which is not what they want to see.

Besides, Linda and Johnson, as Hollywood people, naturally know what kind of pit Universal is now, even if the huge debt he is carrying is enough to drag the Phantom down!

"Can't you find a more reliable way?" said Linda helplessly.

"I've already said a reliable way, selling the copyright of "Home Alone" can not only make Phantom Entertainment make a fortune and make up for the investment in Oceanwide Cinemas, but also break their alliance of interests, the best of both worlds, aren't you unwilling?" said Wu Jianye at the end and didn't forget to tease Linda.

"And there is another advantage of doing this, that is, it can help Oceanwide Cinemas share the firepower, and Phantom sells the copyright of "Home Alone", which in the eyes of others, is a way for Phantom Entertainment to have no choice, as long as the production company accepts this proposal, then there will be a period of chaos within their alliance, and Phantom Entertainment will not even have to disclose the real relationship between Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas in the short term!"

Linda sat there silent for a long time, and both Wu Jianye and Johnson knew that she was weighing the interests involved.

After a long time, Linda said: "Okay, but this matter, I am personally responsible, I hope to be able to get a good return for the copyright of "Home Alone"!"

Wu Jianye smiled and gave Linda a thumbs up, and said, "That's right, you are going to become the CEO of one of the world's largest media groups in the future, how can you be indecisive!"

Linda smiled bitterly and said, "What can you do if you are the boss, I don't work for you!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Then you have to sell all the shares of the Phantom to me, then you can really work for the company!"

Linda smiled and didn't say anything.

Although Phantom Entertainment is now experiencing his own difficulties, Linda knows that as long as she can survive this hurdle, for Phantom Entertainment, the future will be infinitely bright, how could she sell her shares to Wu Jianye, if it weren't for Wu Jianye's money, she would like to buy some more shares in Wu Jianye's hands.

Now that the matter has been decided, there is nothing left to discuss, nothing more than how much benefit the movie series "Home Alone" can bring to Phantom Entertainment.

"Okay, since you are personally responsible for this matter, then I don't care, but there is one thing you want to promise me, that is, when the movie "Ghost Love" is released, at least 4,000 screens must be guaranteed to be released at the same time!"

Wu Jianye finally gave Linda an order.

Although the number of screens in North America has reached more than 30,000, some of them are non-mainstream movie theaters and open-air drive-in theaters, so 4,000 screens is already a very large number.

However, this is not difficult for Linda, after all, the number of screens in Oceanwide Cinemas has now exceeded 3,400 screens.

In fact, they all know that the sale of the copyright of "Home Alone" this time is more to disrupt their alliance of interests and find a source for Oceanwide Cinemas, which is actually not very helpful for the release of "People and Ghosts"!

"Got it, big boss!" Linda replied.

Wu Jianye smiled, waved his hand and left here.

Today is another big thing for Wu Jianye to be busy!

He has already received a call from Zhu Xuan, who is going back to Los Angeles with Li Xiuming!

Wu Jianye is naturally going to pick up the airport!

Sitting in the car, Wu Jianye found that he was still quite close to the station and the airport, and his first Shura field started at the station, and the second Shura field started at the airport.

Although it can't be said to be a Shura field this time, if you want to have a good time, it is estimated that it is impossible.

Cranky thought about it and came to the airport, but Wu Jianye didn't get off the car, after all, he is not famous in Los Angeles, if he is photographed, it will inevitably be more troublesome, this is not Xiangjiang, and no one dares to report his news when he gives an order.

The media in North America are worried that they can't find the material to hack themselves, and if they know about the situation, it is estimated that North American feminism will definitely come out to denounce themselves.

At this time, Wu Jianye was no longer worried about the Hollywood studio's ban on him, but he was extremely troubled by these strange isms in North America.

I don't know if it's because North America has been strong for too long, they always like to define others by their own standards, for example, North America often uses it to criticize other countries for human rights problems.

Don't they want to think about their own problems?

If they really care about so-called human rights, how can they do such a thing to Syria, maybe some licking dogs will say, that's not in their country, but in North America, is there really a so-called fair human right?

This kind of thing is just used to coax ordinary people, and to show some foreigners, and in North America privilege is even more serious than in other places, and in this country you are always telling you what real privilege is.

After a while, Wu Jianye saw Zhu Xuan and Li Xiuming walking out of the airport, and under the protection of the bodyguards, the two got into Wu Jianye's car.

Li Xiuming was obviously a little nervous, while Zhu Xuan glared at Wu Jianye fiercely, but this kind of deterrence had no effect in Wu Jianye's opinion.

Anyway, now that everyone has acquiesced to these relationships, what else is there to worry about!

The three of them took the car back to the manor without saying a word, and when they arrived at the manor, Zhu Xuan directly helped Li Xiuming back to the room that had been arranged.

Wu Jianye was sitting in the living room with nothing to do, flipping through the TV, and just saw an NFL game, Wu Jianye was not changing the channel, and watched it with relish.

In fact, he doesn't know much about the rules of the NFL, and now he is just watching the excitement, and I believe that someone will come down upstairs soon after a while.

Sure enough, as Wu Jianye thought, not long after, Zhu Yan walked down the stairs and came to Wu Jianye.

Without saying a word, he turned off the TV and said, "It's the last one!"

Wu Jianye understood what Zhu Xuan meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there won't be any more!"

After finishing speaking, I saw tears flowing from Zhu Yan's eyes, this kind of silent tears is the most distressing, in these things, it is understandable, Zhu Yan is the most hurt.

Wu Jianye held her in his arms, gently wiped her tears, and comforted again: "Don't worry, there won't be more people in the family in the future!"

With these four women, Wu Jianye really didn't plan to bring them home anymore.

Well, don't bring it home.......
