The press conference jointly held by Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media, even newspapers and media from Wall Street came to Los Angeles to attend the press conference.
This news is too big. It is not just news in the entertainment industry, but a joint meeting between two major consortiums with billions of dollars in assets. If they are really related, it will have a great impact on the global entertainment industry.
Immeasurable impact.
Nowadays, there is a clear distinction between the Eastern and Western entertainment industries. After all, the cultures of the two sides are different and the audience groups are also different. Hollywood has always wanted to distribute its movies to the world, but it has always lacked a suitable channel, and it also lacks a person who can break through
Movies that draw the line between Eastern and Western cultures come out.
This makes them unable to find a suitable weapon to attack the problem.
Therefore, this press conference jointly held by Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media also attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood studio.
The press conference was crowded with people from newspapers, magazines, and television stations. Almost all media organizations came over. Looking at the empty podium at this time, they were very anxious and wanted to know earlier what the two major groups were going to throw at everyone.
Such a bomb.
Of course, there were also people who were carefully looking at the position on the rostrum to see if Wu Jianye's name was on it, but they didn't find it.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiqiang and Linda walked into the venue hand in hand, and the sound of the shutter clicking at the press conference also rang out.
Jiang Zhiqiang and Linda sat in the middle, and Jiang Zhiqiang motioned for Linda to speak.
Linda smiled and did not refuse.
"Thank you all journalists for coming. This time we, Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media, jointly held a press conference. In fact, we have something to announce. With the help of Mr. Wu Jianye, Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media have officially formed a partnership.
strategic partnership."
In a broad sense, strategic partners are meant to bring financial resources, advanced technology, and management experience to enterprises through joint ventures or other means, enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise's technological progress and the ability to expand domestic and foreign markets, and promote the enterprise.
Cooperation between domestic and foreign advanced enterprises for technological progress and industrial upgrading.
The cooperation between Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media is more about resource sharing between the two parties. Phantom Entertainment has its own influence in Hollywood and has been committed to the distribution business in Europe and the United States. Fengge Media is the largest in Southeast Asia.
The media group also owns the largest theater chain company in Southeast Asia.
This piece of news alone made many reporters think that their visit was worthwhile. The cooperation between Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media is equivalent to Phantom Entertainment directly owning a complete distribution network in Southeast Asia, which is definitely a breakthrough for Hollywood movies.
Very good news.
As for the movies produced by Fengge Pictures, a subsidiary of Fengge Media, they can be released in North America with the help of Phantom Entertainment's distribution network. This kind of thing is actually an insignificant matter for reporters or the people of North America. They have
They are confident that Hollywood movies can use this distribution network to develop globally. They believe that Hollywood movies are invincible.
As for Xiangjiang's movies, to them, they are actually just a niche movie. With the way they produce them, how can they be successful in North America?
And there is another hidden point that almost everyone present did not pay attention to, that is, they are talking about Chinese movies!
Everyone present knew the situation of Chinese films. It is still an extremely backward film market and is not considered at all.
If Wu Jianye knew what all the viewers were thinking, he could only laugh. Maybe he would not have appeared in another time and space. It would take several decades for Chinese films to truly rise, but now
With his presence, everything will be different.
The most important thing is that Chinese cinema is going through its darkest period, but after darkness comes dawn, and the meaning of Wu Jianye's existence is to make the dawn even more dazzling!
Some reporters also collected some special features in the news released by Linda.
"Everyone knows that Wu Jianye is now the boss behind Fengge Media, but what is the relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment? Is it a cooperation or something else?"
Linda smiled and said: "When Phantom Entertainment was founded, we did get some help from Director Wu. For example, Phantom Entertainment's first movie "Home Alone" was written by Director Wu. Of course, we paid for the screenwriting fee.
Yes, we at Phantom Entertainment are very grateful to Director Wu for these.
Phantom Entertainment and Director Wu have always had a very good cooperative relationship, and we are also very new to Director Wu!
As for the relationship between Director Wu and Fengge Media, I think it would be more convincing to ask Mr. Jiang to answer this question!"
Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile: "In the early days of Fengge Pictures, we actually got some help from Director Wu. At the same time, our first movie "Mr. Zombie" was also written and created by Director Wu. Director Wu's
I do have some shares in Fengge Media, but the relationship between Director Wu and our Fengge Media is a very complicated cooperative relationship.
By the way, Director Wu is one of the most talented filmmakers I have ever seen!"
When holding the press conference, Linda and Jiang Zhiqiang actually had a simple conference call with Wu Jianye. The result of the three people's agreement was that they could reveal some information about Wu Jianye at Fengge Media. In fact, it was not
This is the news that was announced by the media industry in Xiangjiang before.
Of course, the news here must be true or false, and as for Phantom Entertainment, it is absolutely impossible to announce the true relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment.
And the two of them actually didn't lie. As Wu Jianye mentioned before when answering reporters' questions, Phantom Entertainment just appreciates Wu Jianye's talent, and the cooperation between the two parties has always been very pleasant.
"Yes, I think so too. It is precisely based on this trust that we, Phantom Entertainment, are very supportive of Director Wu's films. I know many people are saying that Director Wu may not be accustomed to the local environment, but we, Phantom Entertainment, as
The production company in Hollywood knows Director Wu best, and we believe that Director Wu will continue to create miracles!" Linda said.
"I believe that when "The Love of Ghosts" is released in the future, everyone will believe in Director Wu's ability as much as we do!" Even at the press conference jointly held by Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media, Linda still did not forget it.
Promote the movie "The Last Love".
Jiang Zhiqiang took over the topic and continued to promote the movie "The Last Love": "Yes, we, Fengge Media, have reached a consensus with Phantom Entertainment, and the movie "The Last Love" will be our cooperation.
It is precisely this way that we will decide that Fengge Cinemas, a subsidiary of Fengge Media, will release the movie "The Love of Ghosts" simultaneously with North America, and this movie
It will also be the first movie to be released simultaneously around the world in the true sense!"
The press group was once again in an uproar. After Jiang Zhiqiang and Linda explained the relationship between the two major companies and Wu Jianye, they actually chose Wu Jianye's movie as the first movie to be released simultaneously around the world.
Their moods became complicated for a while. It was natural for them to be happy that a North American film could become the first film to be premiered simultaneously around the world. However, the director of this film was Wu Jianye, a Chinese director.
It made them a little unhappy.
According to their thinking, the director with such treatment should be at least Spielberg, and only someone of Lucas's level is worthy of it!
"Do you really believe in Wu Jianye?" Some reporters couldn't help but ask.
Linda replied: "There is a saying in Hollywood that you should always follow successful people. Director Wu's previous achievements have proven that he is successful. Why don't we believe in him?"
"But Wu Jianye's success has not been proven in North America!"
"I believe the movie "The Last Love" will prove it!" Linda replied still confidently.
The entire press conference did not last long, only forty minutes, which also made many reporters feel that they had unfinished business. However, Jiang Zhiqiang and Linda had already left. Even if they wanted to ask questions, they could not.
It’s here.
The holding of this press conference indeed dropped a blockbuster in Hollywood.
With the economic development in Southeast Asia, almost all production companies have set their sights and hope that their movies can be released there. However, their distribution network has not really opened up the market there, so their
Although movies have good box office there, the revenue is simply not comparable to that in Europe, and the distribution network there is also very complicated, making it even more difficult to straighten out the situation here.
But now Phantom Entertainment has actually connected with Fengge Media, which means that Phantom Entertainment took the lead in completing what they had always wanted to accomplish.
For a time, Phantom Entertainment's popularity in Hollywood directly overshadowed several other established studios.
The valuation of Phantom Entertainment has also skyrocketed, and many Wall Street investment institutions have approached Linda with the hope of investing in Phantom Entertainment. However, Phantom Entertainment, which is not short of money, naturally rejected all of these.
"If you reject them all, there will be a lot of hidden dangers!" Linda was on the phone with Wu Jianye at this time.
This is just the beginning. If Phantom Entertainment really rejects all Wall Street investments, then Phantom Entertainment will face the revenge of Wall Street, which will also be a troublesome matter for Phantom Entertainment.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "It is impossible for them to invest in shares, but they can still invest in the movies that Phantom Entertainment will invest in in the future!"
Wu Jianye's energy is always limited, and as Phantom Entertainment grows bigger and bigger, it is impossible for all the movies produced to be profitable, and countless experiences have told Wu Jianye that it is impossible to live alone.
successful.
With the entry of Wall Street funds, it is actually a risk-sharing plan for Phantom Entertainment.
Linda was relieved when she heard what Wu Jianye said. She was really worried that Wu Jianye would be dazzled by the victory now and arrogantly think that she could fight against the entire capital of Hollywood.
"What about the cooperation agreements proposed by other studios?" Linda continued to ask.
Nowadays, Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media have formed a strategic partnership and directly own the distribution network throughout Southeast Asia. This is a very attractive condition for Hollywood film production companies. Everyone knows that
Exploring the Southeast Asian market means tens of millions of dollars in income every year, which is a very considerable amount of income!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You can discuss the specific matters with them yourself, but taking advantage of the favorable conditions for us now, you can discuss with them the issue of signing for the use of the studio."
There is another gap between Phantom Entertainment and the six major Hollywood studios, that is, the six major studios all have their own studios, but Phantom Entertainment does not.
Although this has been included in the future development plan of Phantom Entertainment, there is always a process, and as Phantom Entertainment gradually grows during this period, it will inevitably affect the interests of several major production companies. When the time comes, they
They will still attack Phantom Entertainment, and the studio is an important weight in their hands.
In the business field, there has never been a relationship between enemies and friends. It is more about getting a bloody blow here and shaking hands and cooperating there.
Everything is only about profit!
Benefits! Benefits! Benefits!
This is what these people value most.
Linda said: "Okay, I get it!"
When it comes to the strategic partnership between Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media, who is the least happy is actually the Jewish people headed by Spielberg and Lucas.
Before this, although they had not really expressed their intention to target Phantom Entertainment, the entire Hollywood knew about their relationship.
Several major production companies are not willing to participate in the fight between them, so they all adopt the attitude of not helping each other. In fact, not helping each other means they are on the side of Spielberg and others.
But things are different now. Phantom Entertainment suddenly has a bargaining chip in its hands that is most valued by several major production companies, so they can no longer maintain their original attitude.
If you want to cooperate, you always have to pay. Phantom Entertainment can use their distribution network in Southeast Asia, but they also need to use their own chips.
There is one studio, but it is not enough.
Spielberg was in a very bad mood at this time and was extremely unhappy. It would have been possible to get the copyright to "Jurassic Park" before.
But judging from the current development situation, copyright is getting further and further away from me!
Lucas looked at his old friends and sighed in his heart. He thought it was a very simple thing, but it turned out to be extremely difficult for them.
