Zhao Fei sat in the car behind him with a somewhat complicated mood, looking at the car in front of them, among Wu Jianye's classmates, Zhao Fei was the most familiar with Wu Jianye, after all, he was the person who cooperated with Wu Jianye the most, but he found that every time he came out with Wu Jianye, he could see some different things about Wu Jianye.

For example, he was the first person to know that Wu Jianye had great energy in Xiangjiang, and he was also the first to doubt Wu Jianye's wealth in Xiangjiang, but all this did not make much difference to Zhao Fei, after all, he intersected with Wu Jianye because they were classmates and partners, and Wu Jianye's net worth had nothing to do with him.

At most, it's just to grab more of his things on a regular basis, but it's all within the range that everyone can understand, but this time he came out and found another attribute of Wu Jianye.

That's the attribute on the part of women.

Li Xiuming, who I saw in New York first, has already given him a great impact, who is Li Xiuming?

Of course he knows that the once hottest movie actress in China later stopped filming and became a loss to the domestic film industry, and even "Popular Film" called it a loss to the domestic film industry.

Later, Li Xiuming opened an advertising company, and everyone knows about it, but they don't know when Li Xiuming and Wu Jianye were together, thinking of the first movie "Peacock Princess" that Wu Jianye cooperated with Li Xiuming.

It seems that they will be together at that time!" Zhao Fei thought faintly.

originally thought that Li Xiuming's impact was big enough, but he didn't expect that after coming to Los Angeles, he saw the European goddess Isabel Adjani and Wu Jianye again, which made him even more unacceptable, he really couldn't imagine how the two came together.

If Zhao Fei knew that Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani were just ordinary relationships, he would probably be even more shocked.

This is why Zhao Fei did not have the habit of reading old newspapers when he went to Xiangjiang, otherwise he would have known Wu Jianye's romantic history in Xiangjiang, and it is estimated that Zhao Fei would be even more shocked at that time.

Soon several people came to Phantom Entertainment.

At this time, Phantom Entertainment is no longer what it was when Linda was first established, and has moved away from its original location and moved to Century City in Beverly Hills, not far from Hollywood's famous Twentieth Century Fox.

Linda was already waiting for Wu Jianye in the office, when she saw Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani walking in affectionately, she pouted slightly, although she didn't have any thoughts about Wu Jianye, but she also wanted to have a little super friendship with Wu Jianye, but Wu Jianye didn't give in at that time.

At that time, I thought that Wu Jianye was a decent gentleman, but now when I see Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani, I suddenly understand.......

A decent gentleman of fart.

I just didn't look down on myself.......

Thinking of this, Linda's expression was not beautiful.

"Wu, you are really charming, the French rose is also the most beautiful rose in Hollywood!"

Wu Jianye was slightly stunned at first, he didn't understand where Linda's sourness came from, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that Linda was just a few days of discomfort every month, just in time for now.

"I know if it's attractive or not, Isabel is here today, let's sign the contract first!" Wu Jianye said resolutely.

His previous cooperation with Isabel Adjani was just a verbal agreement, but now that Wu Jianye has come to Hollywood, he is naturally going to sign a contract.

Linda didn't bother much with Wu Jianye, and said: "The contract is ready, now Isabel only needs to call her agent to sign it!"

Isabel Adjani waved her hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't wait for him, I can make the decision on this matter!"

Then Isabelle Adjani didn't even look at her salary, and signed her name in the place where she signed.

Wu Jianye walked over and smiled: "Believe me so much?"

Isabel Adjani nodded and teased, "That's a must!"

In fact, Wu Jianye did not let Linda treat Isabelle Adjani badly, and the salary she gave was 5 million US dollars, which is already the top salary among Hollywood actresses.

In the salary of Hollywood movie stars, there is also a hierarchy, the salary of female stars is generally much worse than that of male stars, and this gap is likely to reach two to three times, and in the context of this era, Hollywood stars, the salary is not yet at the level of 20 million US dollars, and they also have to ask for a share of the movie.

For example, Dustin Hoffman, a Hollywood actor, is now paid between $8 million and $9 million, and most of the top Hollywood male stars in this era are paid in the early 10 million, and as for the salary of 20 million, it is still a dream at this time.

It won't be until five years later, when Jim Carrey starred in "Strange Jack in Disguise", that Hollywood will have the first male star with a salary of more than 20 million.

Now the salary of 5 million US dollars is already the top salary for Hollywood actresses, and although Isabel Adjani is also famous in Hollywood, she is still one level short of the 5 million US dollar grade, after all, she starred in more literary films, and in mainstream commercial films in North America, she has never shown her box office appeal.

In fact, it is not only Isabel Adjani who needs to sign the contract, but also Wu Jianye, Zhao Fei, Tan Yang and others.

Although Wu Jianye is the behind-the-scenes boss of Phantom Entertainment, in the United States, all the procedures that need to be taken still have to be followed, otherwise the problems to be faced are enough to make this movie impossible to shoot.

Wu Jianye glanced at his contract, which said that the salary was $200,000, while Zhao Fei was $80,000, and Tan Yang and Tan Yang's team were $100,000!

"You're really business-like!" Wu Jianye glanced at his contract, and then said to Linda.

"There's no way, it's not easy for a little woman to manage such a big company by herself, although we are friends, but we also have to pay attention to principles, don't we?" Linda said sourly.

There is a famous saying in Hollywood in later generations that it is easy to find tens of millions of actors, but it is difficult to find tens of millions of directors!

And because Hollywood has always pursued the production system, the director's authority has been greatly weakened, so it is not much easier for a director to get a salary of 10 million than a female star to get a salary of 10 million.

Although Wu Jianye has won the awards of the three major European film festivals, he is still only a translucent existence in Hollywood, and has not achieved anything in the mainstream film circle in Hollywood, and the salary of $200,000 is already a good salary for Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye looked at where Linda was doing trouble, and didn't say anything, and signed his name directly, Zhao Fei and Tan Yang saw that Wu Jianye signed, so they naturally had nothing to hesitate about, and signed their names directly.

After signing his name, Wu Jianye asked, "Has Tom Hanks been contacted?"

"People and Ghosts" is a romance film, and there are no too strong requirements for the male and female leads, so in Wu Jianye's opinion, there is no need to find the original starring Patrick Kweitz, not to mention that the female protagonists have been changed, and the male lead that Wu Jianye is more interested in is Tom Hanks.

This actor who has been regarded as the best actor in later generations is an actor that Wu Jianye admires very much, especially his performance in "Forrest Gump", which is even more impressive.

Linda smiled bitterly: "I contacted, but he has already refused!"

Wu Jianye was slightly stunned: "Refused?"

"Yes, Tom Hanks thinks that playing a ghost has a bad effect on his image, and another reason is that he and Spielberg are very good friends!"

Hearing the second reason, Wu Jianye understood that this should be the sequelae of "Jurassic Park", when Phantom Entertainment refused to sell the copyright of "Jurassic Park" to Spielberg, and now the other party has begun to target Phantom Entertainment.

"Then let's recruit openly, send a notice to Hollywood's male stars of appropriate age, and invite them to come to audition!" Wu Jianye said, although Tom Hanks is good, but since there is no way to invite him, there is no need for Wu Jianye to force it.

Linda nodded, and glanced at Isabel Adjani and the others, the meaning was obvious, she wanted to talk to Wu Jianye about some news that she didn't want others to know.

Isabel Adjani smiled directly: "Wu, I'm waiting for you at the hotel!" After saying that, Isabel Adjani left with brisk steps.

She also has her own things to do, you must know that her agent didn't want her to take over this drama before, but she is really not as strong as Isabel Adjani, so in the end she can only reluctantly agree, and now Phantom Entertainment has fired five million top salaries, Isabelle Adjani naturally has to tell her agent!

Presumably, after seeing this salary, the agent should have nothing to say, after all, the agent earns the star's share, and the higher Isabel Adjani's salary, the more money the agent earns.

As for Zhao Fei, Tan Yang and others, they were also arranged in other rooms.

After everyone left, Linda smiled and said, "Wu, this is the financial situation of Phantom Entertainment in the past two years, you can take a look first!"

Wu Jianye sat on the sofa, and Linda handed over the documents.

The development of Phantom Entertainment in the past two years has not been as strong as the previous development, and "The Lion King", which was released in January last year, is still Phantom Entertainment's most profitable movie in the past two years.

In fact, movies like this are inherently unavoidable in Hollywood, and now the seven major studios of Haolai shoot between 15-20 movies a year, and the type of movies to shoot, how many movies of each type are filmed, are planned for a long time.

Phantom Entertainment also has its own plans, such as their newly developed series of movies "Die Hard" series, which now also guarantees a speed of one in two years, this kind of movie is different from the "Home Alone" series, and the speed of one in two years is already fast in Hollywood!

Although Bruce Willis did not shoot "Die Hard 2" last year, he was still idle, co-starring with Blake Edwards in a western movie "Sunset"!

Although the box office is not as dazzling as "Die Hard", it has also earned millions of dollars for Phantom Entertainment.

As the gold series of Phantom Entertainment, Home Alone has been announced by Phantom Entertainment that it will suspend the development of this series, which is also to protect the series.

In the last "Home Alone" movie, the audience has obviously begun to experience aesthetic fatigue, and if Phantom Entertainment continues to develop this series, then it can only stink this series in the end.

At the same time, this year, Phantom Entertainment will also invest in and shoot Cheng Long's second film in Hollywood, this movie is also a series of movies, and the script is also provided by Wu Jianye, but it is not the most influential series of Cheng Long in Hollywood, the "Rush Hour" series, but the "Shanghai Noon" series.

This series of movies is not outstanding among Cheng Long's Hollywood movies, and the biggest reason is that the story routine of the movie was a little old-fashioned in Hollywood at that time, but it has been different since 89 years.

As for the original version of "Shanghai Noon", Lucy Liu, who played Pepe, was replaced by Chen Chong, who was familiar to Wu Jianye.

The film is still a joint investment between Phantom Entertainment and Golden Harvest.

At the same time, Linda has also invested in several movies, making and losing, in general, Phantom Entertainment has developed more steadily in the past two years, and it is no longer as rapid as in previous years, except for a "The Lion King" that shocked the world, the return on investment of other movies is still within the acceptable range of other production companies.

However, this does not mean that Phantom Entertainment's income has decreased, and the income of one "The Lion King" is enough to make all movie studios envious.

At the same time, Phantom Entertainment's film production over the years, as the video tape market has become another important income for Hollywood film studios, the videotapes of these movies are still returning benefits to Phantom Entertainment.

Although a large amount of money has been shared before, the rest are pure benefits, so although it seems to be a lot less, it adds up to a lot, and it has also brought a lot of benefits to Phantom Entertainment.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, in particular, is simply the uncrowned king of the video tape market, and the movies he starred in have comprehensively exceeded the box office revenue in the video tape market.

And now Arnold Schwarzenegger has become one of the highest-paid film actors in Phantom Entertainment and even in the entire Hollywood.

Regarding the financial report of Phantom Entertainment, Wu Jianye reads it every year, but now he just took a brief look at it and put it on the table.

Linda saw Wu Jianye put the report aside and said, "There is one more thing, Johnson knows about your coming to Los Angeles and proposes to meet with you!"

During the Berlin Film Festival before, Wu Jianye saw Johnson and proposed to take a stake in the Johnson family's theater business, but after Johnson returned to the United States, he has not been in contact with Wu Jianye, and now he has found Wu Jianye, obviously to mention this matter!

"Then let's make an appointment!" Wu Jianye said.
