Chapter 685 Wu Jianye, who can't be offended (4000+ chapters~)
In the outskirts of Los Angeles, there is a top-notch French restaurant, just like Yanjing's high-end club hidden in an alley.
This place is inaccessible to ordinary people, and the per capita consumption price of US$1,300 is enough to exclude 95% of ordinary people in Los Angeles.
The guests in the restaurant are all in suits and leather shoes, talking softly and looking like successful people.
Aniston sat in her seat, feeling a little complicated. At this time, Aniston was just a young actor who had just joined the TV industry. Her level was actually similar to Monica who had seduced Wu Jianye before.
It’s just that Aniston’s family situation is much better than Monica’s. Her father, John Aniston, is a TV actor, and her mother, Nancy Dow, is a model and photographer. Aniston’s appearance is fully integrated.
Taking into account the advantages of the two of them, she, who is just in her early 20s, sitting here still attracts the attention of many men.
In a restaurant in such an environment, Aniston sits there quietly stirring the coffee in front of her, which is a signal in itself.
If this was a bar, a lot of people would have come over to strike up a conversation.
Having just finished a phone call with her agent, Aniston was sitting here quietly waiting for Wu Jianye to arrive. Just two days ago, when her agent told her that Wu Jianye wanted to invite her,
Aniston's heart felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.
With the hit release of last year's "Speed", Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock became famous. After careful publicity, everyone knew that these two people were the actors and actresses appointed by the screenwriter of the film, Wu Jianye.
The two people who were unknown a year ago have now become Hollywood's hottest new actors and actresses. Keanu Reeves has successfully increased his salary to the level of 5 million US dollars with this film. Everyone is interested.
I know that as long as Keanu Reeves can make another hit movie, becoming an actor with a salary of tens of millions will be just around the corner.
The same is true for Sandra Bullock. The movie "Speed" made her the highest paid among new actresses, and she also won the title of America's Sweetheart. Now she has been invited to be the female lead in at least three movies!
Aniston had only appeared in a few TV series that were not very famous before. Now that she has received an invitation from Wu Jianye, she naturally hopes to become an actress like Sandra Bullock.
So before going to the restaurant tonight, Aniston dressed herself up specially. Exquisite makeup, Rachel hairstyle, and a sexy long dress with a hint of innocence made her full of confidence.
At this time, Aniston saw the door of the restaurant, and Wu Jianye came here under the guidance of the waiter.
When Wu Jianye came over, Aniston quickly stood up: "Director Wu!"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Sit down, sorry, I was just writing a script at home, so I wasted a little time!"
When Aniston heard the script, her little heart beat again for no reason. Then she showed off her acting skills and said with a smile: "Director Wu, you are so polite. I just arrived, and you are not late. I arrived early."
!”
Wu Jianye saw that there was only a cup of coffee on the table, and asked Aniston to order: "Ladies first, this is my first time here, and I don't know what the characteristics of their restaurant are!"
Hearing what Wu Jianye said, the waiter here quickly explained the high-quality meals here...
After ordering the meal, Wu Jianye had time to look at Aniston. Compared to Aniston in later generations, she lacked the charm of her age, but she also had more youthful vitality of her age.
"The reason for inviting Aniston this time is actually because I have a script in hand and I have seen your performance before, so I feel that you are very suitable for one of the protagonists!" Wu Jianye said straight to the point.
The joy on Aniston's face was unbearable. Now there is no need to elaborate on the power of Wu Jianye's script.
Because Wu Jianye came up with a script for an animated movie, Disney gave up its alliances with several other major production companies. This is enough to explain a lot.
Seeing Aniston's excited expression, Wu Jianye was not surprised and said with a smile: "But there is one thing you still have to consider clearly. This script is not a movie script, but a TV series.
You know that Phantom Media has acquired the ABC TV network, so they asked me to write a TV series for them. At that time, I was watching the TV series you were starring in, and I thought of a script. It can be said that you are the soul of this TV series.
!”
After Aniston heard Wu Jianye said that it was a script for a TV series, she felt a little disappointed. After all, everyone in Hollywood hopes to star in a movie.
However, I couldn't help but feel happy when I heard that Wu Jianye actually created one of the main characters based on himself.
This is the same as when Feng Pants said to a new actor around 2010, "I wrote a role specifically for you."
"How does ABC plan to deal with this TV series?" Aniston wanted to know first what ABC thinks of this TV series.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "ABC will regard this TV series as the most important project this year. In fact, in two days, this TV series will start a large-scale audition for actors. If nothing else, this TV series will
The TV series will be launched in the summer this year, and ABC intends to make this TV series into a series, with one season released every year!"
Hearing this, Aniston made a decision in her heart. Although it was not a movie invitation, a TV series that was so valued by ABC would be of great help to her acting career if it could get good ratings.
Yes, moving from the small screen to the big screen is also a good choice.
Aniston gently smoothed her hair, leaned forward slightly, squinted her eyes slightly, and asked lazily: "Director Wu, can I ask about the story of this TV series?"
At this point, Aniston has basically agreed to the deal.
Yes, this is a deal!
Although neither Wu Jianye nor Aniston said anything about the transaction, Aniston knew it was a deal from the moment she received Lauren Donnell's call.
There are no secrets in Hollywood. Everyone knows how Sandra Bullock got the lead role in the movie "Speed".
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Of course..."
Wu Jianye then told Aniston the story about "Friends". Storytelling is a very easy thing for Wu Jianye. He knows the difference between telling stories and writing stories, and he also knows
Where to pause and where to speak faster, the conversation between the two can be said to be full of laughter.
"Director Wu, you are really a romantic person!"
What Wu Jianye didn't know was that not far from where he was sitting, two brothers and sisters, Nick Johnson and Penny, were sitting.
In fact, when Wu Jianye just walked in here, the two brothers and sisters saw Wu Jianye, but they did not get up.
"Humph, it's disgusting that you are here to mess around with women just after your wife left." Penny naturally didn't have a good impression of Wu Jianye.
Nick smiled slightly and said: "A capable man can naturally have more benefits, otherwise why would a man have to work hard!"
Penny stabbed the steak on her plate with her fork, as if the steak was Wu Jianye. If it hadn't been for Wu Jianye, how could she have been scolded by her grandfather.
Nick looked at Penny's behavior, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "I'm done venting, I have to perform well in the future, Wu Jianye is no longer something you and I can fight against!"
Penny said: "Humph, if there is anything we can't fight against, the worst it can do is reveal his identity, and then the Phantom will definitely be in great trouble!"
Nick's face gradually cooled down and he said: "I advise you not to have such thoughts anymore. It was good that you didn't participate in that matter. Don't forget that the family also has its own investment in Phantom. If anything happens to Phantom
The problem is, the family is also the one who has lost. You know what grandpa will do when the time comes!"
Penny's face fell and she said: "I know. I really don't know why you are so afraid of him. At the beginning, she was obviously discussing with her grandfather how to divide Phantom Media and let the family take back control of Oceanwide Cinemas.
Yes, it’s better now, and I have started to fully support Wu Jianye!”
Nick's expression changed again, "I don't want to hear these words again, and I can't say them in anyone else's mouth!"
In fact, what Wu Jianye didn't know was that Johnson Sr. actually had selfish motives when he cooperated with Wu Jianye. At that time, what Sr. Johnson was thinking was that when the Phantom really became big, he would meet the villain Ramon.
At the bottom line of the case, they were prepared to stab Phantom in the back. At that time, Oceanwide Cinemas had already developed with the help of Phantom. As long as they invested another amount of money, they might be able to establish their own production chain in Hollywood.
Film company!
But in the end, Johnson gave up his plan and now fully supports Phantom Entertainment!
In fact, only Nick and Johnson Sr. knew about this matter, but when they were discussing it in the study, Penny accidentally overheard it.
Nick continued: "The more I get to know Wu Jianye, the more surprised I am at his rise. Do you know what I have been doing for a while?"
Penny shook her head and said, "What are you doing? I only know that you seem to have gone abroad!"
Nick explained: "I actually went to Xiangjiang and Huaxia and stayed there for three months just to investigate Wu Jianye's strength in Xiangjiang and Huaxia. But in the past three months, the more I investigated, the more I discovered that Wu Jianye
There are more secrets hidden behind the night."
"The three largest groups in Xiangjiang, Yaoguang Group, Yiwang Group, and Fengge Media, are not listed on the market. However, according to estimates by financial experts in Xiangjiang, Fengge Media, which has the smallest market value among the three consortiums, is at least 500
More than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, this is just the most conservative estimate. At the same time, Wu Jianye has great energy in China and has a very close relationship with China's top leaders..."
Penny was even more shocked as she listened to Nick's explanation. In the past, she only knew that Wu Jianye was definitely not as low-key as he is now in North America, but she didn't expect that Wu Jianye's industry would be so huge.
"This is not the end yet. You know the Lutai investment that has been booming in North America recently. If my grandfather and I are right, this is also Wu Jianye's industry. Otherwise, Linda would not work so hard to help them complete it."
Cooperation with Berkshire.”
"In other words, if the background of Phantom Media is really exposed, it will not cause too much damage to Wu Jianye. Instead, we will have a powerful enemy. You know, Old Bass?
, a billionaire with a net worth of more than one billion is simply not enough for Wu Jianye. Even his favorite Lakers team had to be sold to Phantom Media. Do you think we can withstand Wu Jianye's anger?"
"I called you out specifically today to tell you not to be so hostile to Wu Jianye in the future. I have already discussed it with my grandfather and will regard Phantom Media as the most important partner of our family!"
In fact, there are many things that Wu Jianye did not tell Penny, such as the news he found in Xiangjiang and how Wu Jianye killed his enemies with one blow.
From his investigation report, it can be seen that if Wu Jianye would definitely adopt the policy of shelving enemies who had no chance of killing them with one blow, and the confrontation would be over after completing a battle, such as the original conflict between Standard Chartered and HSBC
Conflict, in the end Wu Jianye did not really confront HSBC, he just made HSBC lose face and that was the end of it.
But for those who can kill with one strike, Wu Jianye has never let go, including the earliest Xu's toys, and the newspaper industry in Xiangjiang in the past two years...
After analysis, Nick sadly discovered that Wu Jianye, the Johnson family's property, was fully capable of killing with one strike!
So after returning from Xiangjiang, Nick discussed with his grandfather for a long time and decided that since being an enemy is not an opponent, then he should firmly hold on to this alliance.
Penny was a smart person. After Nick finished speaking, she nodded and said helplessly: "I know what to do!"
Nick then smiled and said, "It's good to know. I'll go over with me later and say hello to Wu Jianye. You know what to do, right?"
Penny said listlessly: "I know, Wu Jianye doesn't want people to know his identity, we are just saying hello to Director Wu!"
.......
After Wu Jianye finished chatting with Aniston, the main meal was almost finished, and desserts were served after the meal.
At this time, they should have finished dessert and headed to the hotel tacitly, but at this moment, Aniston's agent suddenly walked into the restaurant...
