Chapter 609 "The Love between Humans and Ghosts Is Unfinished" Finished (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"It's just finished, you can't do it at this speed!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

In order to expand the number of theaters in Oceanwide Cinemas, Wu Jianye invested 5000 million US dollars. 5000 million may seem like a lot, but it is actually a drop in the bucket when it comes to theaters in the entire United States.

The previous strategic base of Oceanwide Theaters was in California, and there were no theaters in other places, but now almost all the theaters in California have been eaten away by several major studios, so we can only work hard in other states .

Texas is where Johnson has been struggling lately.

"Don't say it's useless, what should we do next, should we continue to expand or temporarily stop!" Johnson seemed very excited recently. With the expansion of Oceanwide Cinemas, he experienced an unprecedented pleasure. The act of rapidly expanding one's net worth is indeed the most enjoyable!
No wonder the guys on Wall Street like to do it.

Wu Jianye naturally continued to add more. In recent years, Phantom Entertainment has saved a lot of money. Don't look at the fact that Phantom has acquired Oceanwide Cinemas, Ryan Publishing, and finally Marvel. In fact, the money spent Not many.

With Oceanwide Theaters, they exchanged shares and finally invested an additional 5000 million yuan. The acquisition of Ryan Publishing cost less than 3 million U.S. dollars, Marvel 1 million, and the establishment of Digital Domain invested 1 million. At just $4.5 million, last year's "The Lion King" generated more than enough to cover those expenses.

If you add those big-selling movies before Phantom.

At this time, Phantom Entertainment's cash reserve can be said to be the strongest among the major Hollywood studios.

Wu Jianye didn't let Phantom Entertainment make any big moves before, in order to prepare for their rapid expansion now.

"Continue to expand!" Wu Jianye said forcefully, the honeymoon period between Phantom Entertainment and several major studios will not last too long, and now the gap between Phantom Entertainment and several major media groups lies in the theaters and TV stations. aspect.

The matter of the TV station can still be planned slowly, but the matter of acquiring theaters is already a fast-moving train. Wu Jianye will not stop now!
"Phantom will allocate another [-] million to you, and the expansion of Oceanwide Cinemas has just begun!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Johnson was naturally happy when he heard such an answer: "Okay, just wait for my good news. When "Ghost Love" is released, everyone will be shocked!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "That depends on your ability!"

"By the way, Penny has been called back to Los Angeles by my grandfather, and I won't mess with you again during this time!" Johnson said.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about these irrelevant things, the most important thing is to buy theaters with all your strength!"

"understand!"

The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

When the time entered the second half of October, the filming of "Ghost Love" was almost completed, and there were only a few shots left. Return to Los Angeles at the [-]th Century Fox studio to complete it!
After filming the scene in New York, the crew of "Ghost Love" returned to Los Angeles non-stop. The few shots that needed to be re-shot were completed in three days.

With the completion of "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts", the entire crew has bid farewell to each other.

Mel Gibson was the happiest member of the entire crew during this time.

"Lethal Weapon 2" has already been released, and the North American box office has reached 1.47 million US dollars, becoming the highest-grossing movie in Mel Gibson's film history. He has officially removed the title of quasi-A-list movie star, and has become a Hollywood A-list star.

Of course, this also brought a lot of attention to "Ghost Love", in terms of influence in the North American film industry alone, Mel Gibson is now the most famous actor in the entire "Ghost Love" crew, As his second film after "Lethal Weapon 2", "The Love of Ghosts" naturally received a lot of attention.

"Director Wu, I am very happy to cooperate with you this time. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future!"

Mel Gibson found Wu Jianye at the dinner to celebrate the completion of "The Love of Ghosts" and said sincerely.

The whole filming process is actually an improvement of acting skills for Mel Gibson. Before that, because he did not step out of the role in "Lethal Weapon 2", his performance at the beginning stage was not ideal, but under the guidance of Wu Jianye In the end, he finally integrated into the role of Sam, and his performance in the middle and late stages was very good.

Originally, Mel Gibson was a proud person, and he would not be so polite to ordinary people, but who made Wu Jianye's identity change during the filming process!
I thought Wu Jianye was just an ordinary director, but in the end it was revealed that Wu Jianye is the behind-the-scenes boss of the largest media group in Southeast Asia. Although the parties involved denied this, Jiang Zhiqiang, the president of Fengge Media, also indirectly admitted Wu Jianye owns the shares of Fengge Media, and now Mel Gibson understands that Wu Jianye is playing down this matter.

There is still a huge gap in status between a director and a big boss worth billions of dollars.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It is also very pleasant to cooperate with you. If there is an opportunity in the future, I will still cooperate!"

Mel Gibson nodded. He just mentioned that he wanted to continue working with Wu Jianye. He was not being polite, but he really had this idea.

Now the whole world knows that Wu Jianye still has another movie to shoot in Hollywood, which is "Jurassic Park" that has attracted more attention, but Mel Gibson did not directly explain this matter, because he is waiting, waiting The movie "The Love of Ghosts" came out.

If this movie is really as successful in North America as Wu Jianye's self-confidence is, it means that Wu Jianye can control the North American market, and Mel Gibson will not hesitate at that time!
You must know that being able to form a long-term cooperation with a well-known director is also a very beneficial thing for an actor.

While the two sides were chatting, Tony Godwin also came over, holding a glass of wine, and sincerely said to Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, thank you for trusting me this time!"

Compared to Mel Gibson, Tony Godwin doesn't have so many ideas. Without Wu Jianye's appreciation, Tony Godwin is still just a fringe figure in Hollywood, and now he can participate in "Human Ghost Love" The filming of "Unfinished" is still an important supporting role, and Tony Godwin is naturally very grateful to Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Your performance is very good, I am very optimistic about your performance this time, and you will have more and more opportunities in the future!"

Tony Godwin is actually an out-of-the-ordinary personality, otherwise he would not have clashed with Zhao Fei and others, and quickly became friends, but during the filming of "Human and Ghost Love", Wu Ye's aura made him palpitate, and the actors around him were all big names, which made him nervous, so he kept suppressing his tendency to escape.

But now that the filming is over, his worries are gone.

So at this time, when Wu Jianye praised himself, he immediately said happily: "Then I will thank Director Wu first. If Director Wu needs anything in the future, I will definitely be there on call!"

Compared with Mel Gibson, he is less utilitarian. As a first-line actor in Hollywood, Mel Gibson needs to know the release status of Wu Jianye's "Ghost Love" before thinking about whether to continue. Cooperating with Wu Jianye, but Tony Godwin is different. Even if he participated in the filming of "Ghost Love", he is still a little transparent in Hollywood. If he can continue to join Wu Jianye's new film Of course, I will be more happy when I go to the shooting.

Wu Jianye thought for a while and said, "Well, during this period of time, you can exercise your body. There is a character in "Jurassic Park" that is more suitable for you. If your body is improved by then, That role can be given to you!"

The role given to Tony Godwin is naturally impossible to be an important role, but Wu Jianye still thought that in the movie "Jurassic Park", there is a role of security captain, which can make Tony Godwin will play.

When Tony Godwin heard what Wu Jianye said, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Okay, Director Wu, don't worry!"

Afterwards, Wu Jianye chatted with other people for a while. The entire celebration dinner was actually a gathering for the entire crew to enhance their relationship with each other. Many personal relationships were established during these gatherings.

During the period, Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani also chatted a few words, but now the relationship between the two is no longer the same as before, so there is no intention of inviting anyone to discuss together at night.

However, Isabel Adjani still seemed a little bit worried about Wu Jianye's failure to adopt her own opinion. Coupled with the previous relationship between the two, Isabel Adjani didn't talk to Wu Jianye so much. scruples.

"Wu, you will regret it when the movie is released!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have many advantages, but I definitely don't regret this one!"

Regarding Wu Jianye's self-confidence, Isabel Adjani is also quite speechless. She has worked with many well-known directors, but she has never seen Wu Jianye's type. He is almost paranoid about his own movies. Confident, he also acted like a tyrant when he was on the set, he could listen to different opinions, but he had to focus on his ideas.

In fact, many directors are like this, but Isabel Adjani is used to her position in the crew, and some directors will also accommodate her.

But when she met Wu Jianye, she could only say that she met a director who would not accommodate anyone.

After the celebration dinner, Wu Jianye returned to his manor in Beverly Hills. Although it was past ten o'clock in the evening, Li Xiuming hadn't rested yet, and had been waiting for Wu Jianye.

At this time, she was 4 months pregnant, but her belly was not obvious at all, maybe it had something to do with the loose pajamas she was wearing.

"Why haven't you rested yet?" Wu Jianye asked with a smile when he saw Li Xiuming sitting on the sofa watching TV.

Previously, Wu Jianye was worried that he would have to be busy with the next day's shooting when he came back every day because he had to make up the shot of "The Love of Humans and Ghosts", which would affect Li Xiuming's rest, so he didn't go back to the manor, but lived directly in the manor. Hotel, now the filming of the movie has been completely over, the rest is post-production, Wu Jianye will naturally come back.

Li Xiuming smiled and said, "I know you're coming back today, so I've been waiting for you, so you don't have to worry so much, the little guy is doing well!"

In order to take care of Li Xiuming's body, Wu Jianye specially hired a professional medical team to check her body every day, and her nutrition has been kept up, so Li Xiuming's body is very healthy.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "The filming of the movie is over now, and I will accompany you well for the next period of time!"

Li Xiuming nodded happily, leaned on Wu Jianye's body, and said softly: "This is so good!"

The two of them spend very little time together alone, which is why Li Xiuming has always been very unconfident, but now Wu Jianye's women are only Li Xiuming in the United States, so Wu Jianye naturally spends more time with her .

Wu Jianye didn't say anything, just enjoying the tranquility with Li Xiuming at this time.

The next day!

Wu Jianye saw Zhao Fei who was having breakfast in the living room.

The filming of "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" has ended, and Zhao Fei's mission has also been completed. Wu Jianye did not let Zhao Fei live in the hotel, but directly invited Zhao Fei to live in the manor. It affects everyone's private life.

After this period of tempering, Zhao Fei has actually adapted to life in the United States, but he still prefers life in China.

"Now the filming of "The Love of Ghosts" has been completed, and I plan to return to China in a few days!" Zhao Fei said.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "So anxious?"

Zhao Fei nodded and said: "Yeah, although the life here is pretty good, but I still miss the life in Yanjing. Soy milk fritters are my favorite!"

Wu Jianye smiled: "That's fine, I'll have someone book a plane ticket for you in the next two days!"

Zhao Fei asked, "When will the filming of "Jurassic Park" start?"

Wu Jianye said: "I guess we will have to wait until July and August next year. The early stage of this film is very cumbersome. There are many props and models that have to be made before the official shooting!"

"Jurassic Park" is different from other movies. It involves a lot of dinosaur models, as well as the electronic dinosaurs in the early stage and the dinosaurs in the distant scene. Entertainment also needs to invite paleontologists to participate in the design of dinosaur models.

And there is also a thing about film marketing. It can be said that this film will be the most complicated film in the pre-production work of all the films shot by Wu Jianye!
