Chapter 678 Everyone has their own abacus (4000+ chapters~)
"Ha ha......."
Under the soft light, Wu Jianye was sitting in his study room, looking very happy. He had just received a call from Linda, saying that Disney had agreed to cooperate with Phantom.
On the phone, Linda was still saying that they had suffered some losses this time. They only got the Disney film source, and there were no other benefits. However, they gave them the sequel rights to one of their most potential series, "Speed".
Sold......
Wu Jianye also comforted Linda and hung up the phone!
Zhu Xian sat next to Wu Jianye, looked at Wu Jianye with some confusion, and asked: "What's the matter, so happy!"
After returning to Los Angeles to shoot the scene in the studio, Wu Jianye and others returned to live in the Beverly Hills manor in the evening.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a random move. Maybe it will have good results in the future!"
Zhu Xian rolled his eyes at Wu Jianye and muttered: "It's been a mysterious day all day. I'm going to rest first. You should also rest early. We have to shoot tomorrow!"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, just rest early!"
.......
The cooperation between Phantom and Disney was quickly revealed by the media. In fact, Eisner had no intention of keeping this matter secret.
"The Phantom made a mistake this time!" Lucas also saw this news, but he was not angry at Disney's sudden betrayal!
The same was true for Spielberg, who laughed and said: "It is similar to our speculation. Among the major studios, only Disney does not have its own theater company. Eisner's behavior is reasonable. For Disney, they also
We need more cinema chain partners, and now being able to connect with Oceanwide Cinemas is also a beneficial supplement for them!"
Lucas: "I just didn't expect that Phantom would be so generous and would offer the sequel rights to "Speed". I really want to know what Phantom and Wu Jianye thought when they saw the investors of "Speed"
Reaction!"
Spielberg smiled: "I believe it will be very interesting." Then Spielberg said with some regret: "Unfortunately, the result of our previous agreement with Eisner was to invest in a sequel series of movies, but not an animated movie.
I think Eisner will not release this animated film written by Wu Jianye this time!"
Although the two sides have a hostile relationship, both Spielberg and Lucas still highly recognize Wu Jianye's screenwriting ability.
"The investment share for a sequel to "Speed" is already pretty good!" Lucas said contentedly.
.......
At this time, Eisner was also in his office and received calls from senior executives of several major production companies.
"Eisner, we have already discussed the investment share for the sequel to "Speed". The investment for that cartoon..." The president of Twentieth Century Fox personally called Eisner.
Eisner said with a smile: "We have agreed on the result before, but only the investment share for the sequel movie, not the investment share for the animated movie."
It turns out that long before Linda went to Eisner, several major Hollywood studios, including George Lucas's Lucasfilm and Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, had already had a collective meeting.
.
In their view, the exposure of Oceanwide Cinemas this time will definitely be a blow to Phantom Entertainment. In order to break through the existing deadlock, Phantom Entertainment is likely to choose the venue when "The Love of Ghosts" was released last time.
There is a way, and what they want to get is the sequel rights to a certain blockbuster movie by Phantom Entertainment!
In fact, not only Wu Jianye knew that the so-called ban would not have much effect on Phantom, but also several other major studios knew that the ban would not have much effect.
So they never thought about it from the beginning, and they never announced the news of the ban. They just kept spreading rumors that they would target Phantom Entertainment.
At this time, the momentum of Phantom Entertainment has been formed. It cannot be dealt with by simply banning it. What they have to do is to slowly erode it. Only in this way is the safest way.
So before Linda found Eisner, several major Hollywood production companies had already formulated their own strategies. Wu Jianye found Disney because of the movie "Toy Story", and looked at several other production companies.
Come on, Disney does not have its own theater chain, so it is also the best production company for Phantom to contact.
What they didn't expect was that Phantom had made such a huge effort this time, not only acquiring the sequel rights to "Speed" but also producing an animated film written by Wu Jianye.
The presidents of all the production companies called Eisner in order to get the investment share of "Toy Story". However, the investment share of this movie is now 50% between Phantom and Disney. Naturally, Disney has no obligation.
The investment share of this film was given to other production companies.
In fact, when he learned that Phantom had obtained the sequel rights to "Speed", Eisner already regretted the agreements with several other production companies.
But there is no way, this agreement has been made a long time ago, and Eisner does not have the courage to overturn this agreement, otherwise Disney will not be able to mix in the Hollywood circle!
Generally speaking, Disney is playing the role of a gold medal undercover this time.
"Okay, let's not talk about the investment share of animated movies. Let's discuss when to announce "Speed"!" Eisner didn't want to get too entangled on this issue anymore, so he switched directly.
Next topic.
"Let's follow the original plan and announce it when "Jurassic Park" is released. At that time, it will have the biggest impact on Phantom and Wu Jianye!" the president of 20th Century Fox said helplessly.
It seems that it is impossible to get another piece of the animated movie pie. Now we can only find a way to prevent the rise of the Phantom!
"Okay!" Eisner had no objection to this. After the two discussed some specific details, they hung up the phone!
After Eisner hung up the phone, he sat in his seat and looked 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 prevent the rapid rise of Phantom. Although they seem to be the same,
But Eisner treats others well and knows that every company must have its own agenda.
Isn't it the same for Disney? From now on, the rise of the Phantom is unstoppable. Although the targets of several major studios can slow down the development of the Phantom, in the final analysis, it is just a slowdown.
Considering Disney's own development plan, the relationship with Phantom should not be at war with each other. What's better is that the plan is actually a compromise.
In Eisner's view, theater chains are actually not that important. As long as he can ensure that the movies produced by his company are excellent films, then there is no need to worry about not having theater chains to release them.
What Eisner really values is the cooperation with Phantom. If we can use this opportunity to achieve long-term cooperation with Phantom, it will actually be the most beneficial to the development of Disney!
Phantom has proven with its historical achievements that throughout the 1980s, the most profitable production company in Hollywood was Phantom Entertainment.
It would be most beneficial to Disney if we could participate in Phantom Entertainment’s film investment in the later stage!
As for the investment issue in the sequel of "Speed", Eisner is not worried, because now Phantom only has one company with which it has a cooperative relationship. Even if this news is announced, they can only be dumb and unable to say anything about the pain.
I have to hold my nose and continue to cooperate with Disney.
Working alone is never the best development direction for a company!
.......
Wu Jianye didn't know the plans of the major production companies, but even if he knew, Wu Jianye wasn't worried and was even happier.
Just as Eisner thought, everyone has his or her own plan, and Wu Jianye must have his own plan as well.
Although the world has undergone many changes due to his rebirth, whether the sequel to "Speed of Life and Death" will be like another time and space, rushing to the street and rushing to his grandma's house, but this is not important to Wu Jianye.
Without the Marvel Universe and Disney on the ABC TV network, it is like a tiger without claws and fangs. Other film production companies want to slowly cannibalize the Phantom. Isn't Wu Jianye slowly doing so?
Cannibalize them!
"Speed" and "Toy Story" are Wu Jianye's methods.
If, like another time and space, "Speed" is still a big production and a big hit, Disney will definitely be strongly affected.
"Toy Story" seems to have brought good profits to Disney, but it has also allowed the Phantom to directly participate in Disney's internal work. As long as it slowly erodes in, there is no chance...
.......
After several days of investigation, Johnson finally sent news to Wu Jianye.
"The investigation has been completed, and it was the department manager of Oceanwide Cinemas who announced the news!"
Johnson's face looked slightly ugly. After all, the traitor was someone under his management, and the department manager was an old employee of his company...
"Which company did you take advantage of?" Wu Jianye asked curiously. The traitor came from the management of Oceanwide Cinemas. Wu Jianye had actually guessed this, but in his opinion, the other party would definitely not
Selling out his company for no reason.
"Universal Pictures!" Johnson said through gritted teeth.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "That makes sense, but I didn't expect that Panasonic would still have the intention to plot against us without clarifying its own debt!"
"By the way, did Universal find him on his own initiative, or did he seek Universal on his own initiative?" Wu Jianye asked.
Johnson said: "Universal took the initiative to find him!"
"Damn it, I won't believe it if there is no interference from Spielberg and others in this matter!" Johnson finally cursed.
As the publisher of "Captain Hook", Universal did this to compete with "Jurassic Park".
"Okay, there's nothing to be angry about. Now that we know who the other party is, it's easier to handle. Let's sue that person first!" Wu Jianye said.
That traitor will definitely not be spared lightly, and prosecuting him is a routine operation.
Johnson nodded and said: "But even if we sue him, it won't have any impact on Universal. I know from that person's mouth that Universal did it very secretly this time and left no evidence at all. If it hadn't been for that
The idiot was overly cautious and secretly listened to the other party's phone call. He probably didn't even know who the mastermind behind it was!"
Wu Jianye said: "Universal doesn't need to worry about it for now. The decisive battle with him will be when "Jurassic Park" is released, not now."
"Jurassic Park" rivals "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 owners hiding behind and waving flags.
As long as "Jurassic Park" can beat "Captain Hook" at the box office, everything will be easy to handle!
So Wu Jianye is not in a hurry to deal with Universal now!
Johnson said: "That's all we can do now. Don't worry, I won't give up until I throw this bastard in!"
Wu Jianye patted Johnson on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I believe you in this!"
In a society like North America, all that matters in litigation is money. As long as Oceanwide Cinemas is willing to spend money, that person will definitely lose...
Now, the only thing left to do about Phantom Entertainment's acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas is the inquiry meeting in the North American Congress. In order to cope with this inquiry meeting, Linda flew to Washington in person.
After a large amount of funds were spent, the results of the inquiry meeting came out, and the Phantom Entertainment's acquisition of Oceanwide Cinemas was revealed for a suitable reason!
In fact, it was because the entertainment industry was not really a leading company in North America at this time that Phantom Entertainment could handle it relatively easily.
But for something like Microsoft, it's impossible. Even if Bill Gates is willing to spend money, Microsoft will inevitably split into 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 has officially ended!
In the end, only the last few outdoor shots were left, which needed to be shot near the Snake River in Montana.
Wu Jianye personally led the team and came to Montana with Zhu Xian, Sam Neill, Richard Attenborough and others to shoot the scenes here!
As the filming here ends, the location shooting of "Jurassic Park" is finally over!
It’s already October now.!
After Wu Jianye returned to Los Angeles, he went directly to the digital field and began to hold meetings for several days with the team responsible for the special effects of "Jurassic Park" in the digital field, and finally told the other party all his requirements.
Then the special effects team started and officially started the post-production special effects for "Jurassic Park"!
