Chapter 580 The American Edition of Elegance and Vulgarity (4300+ chapters, please subscribe~)

Those who can come to the Johnson family party are all people with a certain level of appreciation, so when everyone heard Penny's piano sound, they immediately understood that this is a new song, and at the same time it is a very comfortable and perfect song. The simpler the tune, the more classic it is.

What's more, this song can directly hit people's hearts and find that warm place.

The noisy party became very quiet at this time, only the moving tune rang melodiously in the air.

Until the end, everyone still had something to say.

After standing up, Penny covered her chest and bowed to everyone, and then there was applause, and Penny said with a smile: "This is a piece I just learned. It comes from Europe. I admire this composer very much. Unfortunately, What's more, I don't know him, but in my heart, the person who can write such a song must be an elegant nobleman!"

"What's the name of the song?" someone asked.

Penny said proudly: "one summer's day!"

After leaving a proud back for everyone, Penny walked to the side of Wu Jianye and Johnson, looked at Wu Jianye proudly, and said: "See, this is real art, only you rude people Only people like rock music."

"Yes, yes, yes, the author of this song is indeed an elegant person, and I think he is also a very handsome person!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Hmph, you still know a little bit of art!" Penny didn't hate Wu Jianye so much at this time, but why was this smile a bit annoying, and the same was true for Johnson standing next to Wu Jianye, showing a complicated look. Smiles, sympathy, schadenfreude, and most obviously, distaste.

"What's your expression? Isn't this song a classic?" Penny said dissatisfiedly, not seeing Johnson's expression like this.

At this moment, Weinstein came over again, holding a glass of wine, and tried his best to show himself an elegant smile, but unfortunately, the sloppy face was not elegant no matter how you looked at it.

"Miss Penny's piano sound is so beautiful. I think the owner of this piece of music will be very honored if he hears his own piece played by Miss Penny!"

"Heck!" At this time, the slender flesh on Weinstein's face was not so annoying in Penny's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Wayne still has the level of appreciation, unlike some people!"

In fact, Penny was talking about Johnson, but Weinstein misunderstood it as Wu Jianye.

"This is something that can't be helped. Huaxia has just begun to develop, and there is no soil for cultivating elegant art. I think it's understandable that Director Wu doesn't understand!"

Johnson patted his sister's shoulder, causing Penny to give Johnson a dissatisfied look, and then shook off Johnson's shoulder, "What are you doing?"

Johnson suppressed a smile and said, "It's nothing, just seeing you like this suddenly makes me very happy!"

At this time, Johnson was really very happy, because someone was finally like him, and now he could completely imagine what Penny felt when he told Penny the truth for a while.

"Well, since you know the name of this song, don't you know who the author of this song is?" Johnson said.

Penny was slightly taken aback, and said: "I really don't know, I only know that this piece of music first appeared in Berlin, Germany." Then she showed a longing expression, "I heard that this piece of music has a story, it is a The man created it specially for his girlfriend, I really envy such love."

But at this time, Johnson was not angry at all, he just looked at Wu Jianye curiously: "Did you compose this song because of a woman?"

Wu Jianye shook his head, and said lightly: "Of course not, I created this song because I pretended to be aggressive with others!"

"I said, is this in line with your personality!" Johnson nodded as a matter of course.

Penny: "."

Johnson: "."

"Impossible, you said you are the author of this song?" Penny looked at Wu Jianye with a face full of disbelief.

Wu Jianye touched his nose and said, "Is there any problem?"

"I do not believe!"

"It's fine if you don't believe it!" Wu Jianye still had an indifferent attitude.

Johnson, who was on the side, said with a smile: "This song was composed by Wu Jianye at the revolving restaurant on the TV tower in East Berlin during the Berlin Film Festival. This incident has long been spread in East and West Berlin. It was in West Berlin!"

In fact, I can’t blame Penny for this. After hearing this song by accident a few days ago, Penny immediately returned home to study hard. After she learned it, she was going to Berlin to meet her idol, so she didn’t ask who the author was Such is the situation now.
On the other hand, Weinstein showed a rare blush. Just now he said that Wu Jianye didn't understand elegant art, but now he's being slapped in the face, and it hurts a bit.
But looking at Weinstein who turned around and wanted to leave, Wu Jianye didn't intend to let him go.

He opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Wayne, I don't know what is elegant and what is vulgar in your heart?"

Weinstein stopped his footsteps, and said a little angrily, "You can't even tell the difference between refined and vulgar?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Then, can I think so? Mr. Wayne thinks that rock is vulgar, and piano music is elegant, but as far as I know, Mr. Wayne's younger brother, Bob Weinstein, is a rock concert singer. One of the founders, so do you look down on your younger brother? Or do you think eating steak and drinking red wine is elegant, while eating hamburgers and drinking Coke is vulgar? It turns out that Mr. Wayne never eats hamburgers!"

Wu Jianye's series of words did not allow Weinstein to interrupt at all, and this preemption also made Weinstein look a little embarrassed, even a little angry.

Because Wu Jianye's words clearly contained a provocative meaning, if this passage really got out, then his mentality in the rock circle and ordinary Americans would be completely stink.

What's more, some people will label themselves as discriminatory. Don't think it's a joke. Almost everyone in the United States eats hamburgers, especially those black people who are glass-hearted. If they find out, they will definitely go against the sky.

"That's not what I meant!" After thinking about it, Weinstein said hastily.

Wu Jianye smiled "hehe" and said, "We have an old saying in China that we know people, know their faces, but don't know their hearts. Who knows what Mr. Wayne thinks!"

After speaking, without giving Weinstein another chance to defend himself, he left here and walked to another corner.

I came in a hurry at night, I haven't eaten yet, so I'm a little hungry.

What happened here at this time was also known to the entire party. They were indeed amazed by this song just now, but they did not expect that the owner of this song was actually Wu Jianye.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Wu Jianye ate the cake in his hand as if no one else was there. To be honest, if he wasn't too hungry, he didn't like to eat cakes. He would rather eat a hamburger than this stuff.

But even eating cake, Wu Jianye didn't stop eating, because at this time Penny didn't run away after being hit by Wu Jianye one after another like Johnson did, but came to Wu Jianye and confirmed again.

"This song "one summer's day" was really written by you!"

"I want to say that someone else wrote it, do you believe it?" Wu Jianye asked back.

Pan Ni stood in front of Wu Jianye and stopped talking. She didn't expect that the person she had been admiring these days would be Wu Jianye. She always felt that all this was too dreamy.

But she also knew that it was impossible for Johnson to lie about this kind of matter, and as long as he investigated this matter with the heart, he would definitely be able to investigate it, which means that this matter is true.
"Can you tell me what kind of mood you were in when you created this song? Don't talk about the reason you pretended to deceive children. I won't believe such a great song!"

Johnson also came over at this time, and when he heard what Penny said, his face darkened. This is to say that he is a child.

Wu Jianye stuffed the last piece of cake into his mouth, wiped his mouth without any image, and said, "If you don't believe it, forget it. What kind of mood do you need for this thing? If you want to create, you will naturally have it!"

Penny: "."

Seeing Wu Jianye's pretentious look, Penny looked at the red wine glass next to her. She wanted to put it directly on Wu Jianye's head. Is it okay to pretend so realistically?
As if he could think of what Penny wanted to do, Wu Jianye picked up the red wine glass on the table and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Hmph!" Penny didn't move in the end, she just turned around and left. This time, she didn't leave Wu Jianye's side, but directly left the hall and the party!
Johnson looked at Wu Jianye with a smile, and said, "Our previous grievances will be wiped out this time!"

Wu Jianye retorted: "Is this the only thing you can do?"

Johnson: "."

Wu Jianye did not understand Johnson's thoughts. Among the third generation of the Johnson family, only Johnson and his own brother Nick Johnson, Nick Johnson was the pride of the Johnson family, and Johnson and Penny were constantly competing with each other. It can be regarded as mutual victory and defeat, but since he went to Huaxia that year
Johnson has become the most unfavorable member of the third generation, but now that Penny is also suffering from Wu Jianye's side, how could he be unhappy.

Thinking of this, Johnson decided not to care about Wu Jianye's attitude just now, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will go to Phantom Entertainment and discuss specific cooperation matters with Linda!"

Wu Jianye nodded, and said: "I have to go there tomorrow, the male lead of "The Love Between Ghosts" hasn't been confirmed yet."

Although Phantom Entertainment has already sent invitations to Hollywood male stars of the right age, they have to find out if there is any suitable one.

And he still has a lot of things to discuss with Linda.

Johnson said happily: "Okay, I will pick you up at the hotel tomorrow!"

Wu Jianye: "."

For Johnson who was suddenly enthusiastic, Wu Jianye was still a little uncomfortable, "No need, I'll go there by myself."

Johnson smiled and said, "You're welcome, just wait for me at the hotel!"

After the party, Wu Jianye returned to the hotel. He planned to rest early today and go there early tomorrow.
The next day!

Wu Jianye came to Phantom Entertainment early, and when he arrived at the company, Linda had just arrived.

After seeing Wu Jianye, Linda asked, "So early?"

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, I'm not sure about some people's driving skills, and I'm worried that he's fake enthusiasm, so I came here early!"

Linda didn't understand what Wu Jianye meant, but she didn't bother to ask about such things. Instead, she asked about Wu Jianye's meeting with old Johnson yesterday.

"How was the talk with old Johnson yesterday?"

"It's already been negotiated, Phantom Entertainment and Oceanwide Cinemas have exchanged shares!" Then Wu Jianye told Linda the details of yesterday's discussion.

Linda was also a little surprised after listening to it: "Are you so confident in your new film?"

This is why Linda is not surprised. The current box office record in North America is not as exaggerated as it is in later generations. Although the box office hit "The Lion King" in North America last year exceeded 3 million US dollars, it is impossible for the overall box office in North America to be so exaggerated. Yes, last year there were no more than ten films with a box office of over US$1 million in North America!
In other words, the film directed by Wu Jianye must be at least among the top ten at the box office in order to win the VAM agreement. Is this possible?
A ghost-themed romance film with a box office of over [-] million is a bit unrealistic. If Wu Jianye is a director of Spielberg's level, it may be possible.

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "I've told you many times, I'm very confident!"

Linda looked at Wu Jianye's confident look, and didn't know what to say. At this moment, even Linda thought Wu Jianye was a little swollen.

"Why don't we shoot "Jurassic Park" first, this novel has a high reputation in North America, it might be safer to shoot this movie!"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No, there is still a lot of pre-preparation for this movie. By the way, you need to contact a special effects company and start making dinosaur models from now on!"

"Jurassic Park" is a very complicated movie. It doesn't mean that the director, the actors and the funds are in place and it can be shot. There is still a lot of preparatory work.

Seeing that Wu Jianye had already made up her mind, Linda knew that it would be useless to persuade her, but she thought that if Wu Jianye was really successful, the market value of Phantom Entertainment would really be $50 billion on paper. , then I only invested 600 million US dollars at the beginning. Although I diluted part of the equity with the establishment of Athena Animation, I still have about 15% of the equity of Phantom Entertainment.

In other words, the initial investment of 600 million yuan has now been exchanged for 7.5 million US dollars in equity!
125 times return value!
This made Linda's mood explode immediately!

"I didn't expect you would let Johnson be the general manager of Oceanwide Cinemas!" Linda deliberately changed the subject in order to hide her excitement and prevent Wu Jianye from looking down on her.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Johnson is a nice guy. Under his management, Oceanwide Cinemas has developed quite well, so there is no need to change people."

"Haha, if you let Johnson know that you praised him so much, he must be in a complicated mood!" Finally he found a reason to laugh!

Wu Jianye said: "Why is it so complicated, Johnson and I are just friends!"

"Friend." Linda looked at Wu Jianye strangely, and said that Wu Jianye and Johnson were friends. She couldn't believe it!

At this time, Johnson ran to Linda's office and looked at Wu Jianye complainingly: "Wu, didn't you say, I'll pick you up at the hotel, do you really not trust your friend?"

Linda: "."
