For the press conference jointly held by Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media, even the newspapers and media on Wall Street went to Los Angeles to participate in the conference.

This news is too big, not just the news of the entertainment industry, but the joint meeting between two consortiums with billions of dollars in assets. If they are really related, then it will have a great impact on the global entertainment industry. immeasurable impact.

Nowadays, the Eastern and Western entertainment industries are quite distinct. After all, the two sides have different cultures and different audiences. Hollywood has always wanted to distribute its films to the world, but it has always lacked a suitable channel and a breakthrough. Movies on the cultural boundaries of the East and the West come out.

This keeps them from finding the right weapon to attack.

Therefore, the 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 TV stations. Almost all the media organizations came here. Looking at the rostrum that was still empty at this time, they were very anxious. They wanted to know earlier what the two major groups were going to throw at everyone. kind of bomb.

Of course, some people 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 clicking shutters at the press conference also sounded.

Jiang Zhiqiang and Linda sat in the middle, and Jiang Zhiqiang motioned for Linda to speak.

Linda smiled and did not refuse.

"Thank you, friends from the press, for coming. This time, Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media jointly held a press conference. In fact, we have something to announce. Under the lead of Mr. Wu Jianye, Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media officially formed an alliance. strategic partnership."

In a broad sense, a strategic partner is a joint venture or other means, in order to bring capital resources, advanced technology, management experience to the enterprise, enhance the core competitiveness of the enterprise's technological progress and the ability to expand domestic and foreign markets, 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 cooperation in 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 cinema 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. This is definitely an important milestone for Hollywood movies. Very good news.

As for the films produced by Fengge Pictures, a subsidiary of Fengge Media, they can be shown in North America with the help of the distribution network of Phantom Entertainment. This kind of thing is actually an insignificant matter to reporters or the people of North America. Confident that Hollywood movies can use this distribution network to open up the situation around the world, and they believe that Hollywood movies are invincible.

As for Xiangjiang's films, for them, they are actually niche films. How could they succeed in North America based on the way they make them?

And there is another hidden point that almost everyone present did not pay attention to, that is, they are talking about Chinese movies!
As for the situation of Chinese films, everyone present knew that it was still an extremely backward film market, and it was not considered at all.

If Wu Jianye knew what all the audiences were thinking, he could only laugh. Maybe he didn't appear in another time and space. It would take decades for Huaxia Film to really rise, but now With his presence, everything will be different.

The most important thing is that Huaxia Film 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 existences 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 cooperation or something else?"

Linda said with a smile: "At the beginning of the creation of Phantom Entertainment, we did get some help from Director Wu. For example, Director Wu wrote the screenplay for Phantom Entertainment's first movie "Home Alone". Of course, we paid for the screenwriting fee. Yes, Phantom Entertainment is 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 Films, we actually got some help from Director Wu. At the same time, our first film "Mr. Zombie" was also created by the screenwriter of Director Wu. It is true that he has 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 the press conference was held, 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 disclose some information about Wu Jianye in Fengge Media. It was the news announced by Xiangjiang's media industry before.

Of course, the news here must be true or false, but for Phantom Entertainment, it is absolutely impossible to announce the true relationship between Wu Jianye and Phantom Entertainment.

And the two didn't actually lie, as Wu Jianye mentioned before when answering reporters' questions, Phantom Entertainment appreciates Wu Jianye's talent, and the cooperation between the two parties has always been very pleasant.

"That's right, I think so too, and it's based on this kind of trust that our Phantom Entertainment will be very supportive of Director Wu's films. I know many people are saying that Director Wu may be dissatisfied, but our Phantom Entertainment as a The production company in Hollywood that knows Director Wu best, we believe that Director Wu will continue to create miracles!" Linda said.

"I believe that when "Ghost Love" 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 Promote the movie "Ghost Love".

Jiang Zhiqiang took over the topic and continued to promote the movie "Ghost Love": "Yes, Fengge Media has reached a consensus with Phantom Entertainment, and we will also use the movie "Ghost Love" as our cooperation. This is exactly the way it is. We will decide that Fengge Cinemas, a subsidiary of Fengge Media, will release the movie "The Love of Ghosts" at the same time as North America. And this movie It will also be the first movie to be released simultaneously globally!"

The press corps 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 globally simultaneously.

It made their mood complicated for a while. It is natural to be happy that a North American movie can become the first movie to premiere simultaneously in the world, but the director of this movie is Wu Jianye, a Chinese director. Made them a little upset.

According to their thinking, the director with such treatment should at least be Spielberg, and Lucas's level is worthy of it!
"Do you believe in Wu Jianye so much?" Some reporters couldn't help asking.

Linda replied: "There is a saying in Hollywood that says to always follow successful people, and Director Wu's previous achievements have proved that he is successful, why don't we believe him?"

"But Wu Jianye's success has not been proven in North America!"

"I believe the movie "Ghost Love" will prove it!" Linda still replied confidently.

The entire press conference did not last long, only four or ten minutes. This also made many reporters feel unfinished, but Jiang Zhiqiang and Linda had already left. They just wanted to ask questions, but they couldn't ask them. Arrived.

And the convening of this press conference really dropped a blockbuster in Hollywood.

With the economic development of Southeast Asia, almost all production companies have set their sights there, and they all hope that their films can be released there, but their distribution network has not really opened up the market there, so their Although the movie has a good box office over there, the income cannot be compared with that in Europe, and the distribution network over there is also very complicated. It is even more difficult to straighten out the situation here.

But now Phantom Entertainment has hooked up with Fengge Media, which means that Phantom Entertainment took the lead in completing what they had always wanted to accomplish before.

For a while, Phantom Entertainment's limelight in Hollywood directly overshadowed several other established studios.

The valuation of Phantom Entertainment has also risen, and many Wall Street investment institutions have approached Linda hoping to invest in Phantom Entertainment, but all of these are naturally rejected by Phantom Entertainment, which is not short of money.

"If you refuse all of them, there will be a lot of hidden dangers!" Linda was talking to Wu Jianye at this time.

This is just the beginning. If Phantom Entertainment really rejects all Wall Street investments, it means that Phantom Entertainment will face Wall Street's revenge, and it will be a troublesome thing for Phantom Entertainment at that time.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It is impossible for them to invest in the shares, but in the future, they can still invest in the movies that Phantom Entertainment invests in!"

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 eat 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 thought that she could fight against the entire Hollywood capital.

"What about the cooperation agreements proposed by other studios?" Linda continued to ask.

Now Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media have formed a strategic partnership, directly owning the entire distribution network in Southeast Asia. This is a very attractive condition for Hollywood film production companies. Everyone knows Opening up the market in Southeast Asia means tens of millions of income every year, which is a very considerable income!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You can discuss the specific matters with them yourself, but taking advantage of the current favorable conditions for us, you can discuss with them the issue of signing a contract to use the studio."

There is still a gap between Phantom Entertainment and the six major Hollywood studios, that is, the six major studios all have their own studios, while Phantom Entertainment does not.

Although this has been included in Phantom Entertainment's future development plan, there is always a process, and during this period of time, as Phantom Entertainment grows, it will inevitably affect the interests of several major production companies. 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 friend and foe. It is more about a bloody fight here, and a handshake and cooperation there.

It's all about profit!

Benefit!Benefit!Benefit!

That's what these people value most.

Linda said, "Okay, I got it!"

If Phantom Entertainment and Fengge Media have reached a strategic partnership, who is the least happy, in fact, the Jewish people headed by Spielberg and Lucas are the most unhappy.

Before that, although they didn't really express their intention to target Phantom Entertainment, the entire Hollywood knew about their relationship.

Several major production companies are also unwilling to participate in the battle between them, so they all adopt the attitude of not helping each other. In fact, not helping each other is already on the side of Spielberg and others.

But it's different now. Phantom Entertainment suddenly has a bargaining chip 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 bargaining chips.

The studio is one, but this one is not enough.

Spielberg was in a very bad mood at this time, extremely unbeautiful, if it was possible to get the copyright of "Jurassic Park" before.

But according to the current development situation, the copyright has become farther and farther away from me!

Lucas looked at his old friends and sighed in his heart. He thought it was a very simple matter, but it turned out to be extremely difficult for them.
