Chapter 3

That night.

Presidential suite at Hilton New York.

Zhuke, who got rich overnight, not only enjoyed good wine and delicious food, but also enjoyed the imperial service.

"The presidential suite is good, great and quack!"

"I miss someone Zhu. In my last life, I was a member of the entertainment industry. I always watched those stars live in the presidential suite. This time, I was really the first time. I was very angry..."

In his last life, Zhuke was a middle-level manager of a small entertainment company, but he was a logistics worker and had little contact with those stars.

Income is extremely different, even the unspoken rules are not his turn.

"When it comes to Hollywood's beautiful stars, everyone says that the rich taste salty, the poor look beautiful. In my life, I want to taste salty too!"

You think the avenue is already full of traffic.

——Shakespeare.

Even if that place is left behind by countless people, we still yearn for it.

——Guo Moruo.

When you can easily enter, you should understand that it's not that you are powerful, but that the other party can tolerate your smallness.

——Paul Kochakin.

"Oh... I have money now, anyway!"

Think of the previous life, Zhuke can't help shivering, forget it, those buses, we'd better be steady.

The next time, Zhuke's mind is how to make use of ten million, don't believe in the integrity of big companies!

For example, Spielberg's DreamWorks has spent hundreds of millions of dollars in India, Indonesia and Arabia.

Let alone the outsiders of the pit circle, even the insiders of the pit circle, they are not soft at all.

Hands are black!

Harry Potter series, how famous.

It has earned Time Warner a lot of fame. In terms of box office alone, it has reaped nearly 10 billion US dollars in the world, not to mention peripheral licensing, DVD, video sales, clothing licensing, liquor licensing and so on. That's a market worth hundreds of billion US dollars.

But you dare to believe that in the company's book, it is a loss!

Yes, it's a loss!

What's more, it's a huge loss!

The production company and distribution company of the film belong to Time Warner Group, but the two subsidiaries are financially separated and calculated independently. Apart from the cinema income, most of the profits originally belonged to the production company belong to the distribution company.

In this way, the production company's book is naturally a loss.

Hiss

"Big companies are black. Since their books are in loss, they can not only pay less corporate tax, but also do not have to pay the main actors' box office profit share. Why not?"

"Harry Potter" series of stars, once on the box office share problem, Warner to court.

But what happened?

Warner keeps a team of lawyers. Are you kidding about the traps set in the contract?

Play all play dead you!

Even under special circumstances, the big company will lose the lawsuit, it will drag you for several years, consume your energy, and never let you have a good time!

Anyway, the arm can't twist the thigh.

In this business, you have to abide by the rules made by them, otherwise you are an alien, challenging the collective interests of major Hollywood companies, and finally driving you out of Hollywood alive.

Michael Jackson is one of them!

He holds numerous song copyrights, does not know how to compromise, violates too many hidden rules and interests of the entertainment industry, and is not infamous（ Even after his death, many people still talk about it.

Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the rings, took the new line company to court for six years because of his salary.

"Hollywood likes people who are stupid and have a lot of money. I have to take it easy."

Zucker couldn't help sighing.

"Otherwise, there will be no bones left in the end!"

"There are too many villains and villains in this world."

As a half insider, Zhuke really knows too much about the book issue.

The film is clearly profitable, and it can also make a loss for you on the book. Not to mention much else. First, the price of photographic equipment is 200000 US dollars, which can make you 1 million US dollars on the book. Other things that have nothing to do with the expenses of film personnel are all on the book of the investors. Anyway, there is a lot of water in it, not to mention the layman, even the insiders.

"Open a chain store around the movie!"

"Safe!"

"If you don't say anything else," Toy Story "is coming out, which is the North American box office champion in 1995!"

"As long as you get the copyright, you can make a lot of money just selling Sheriff woody and bass Lightyear's toys in Los Angeles. Not only can it make money, but it's also a great stepping stone to Hollywood. "

......

Do what you say.

Zucker called all night and ordered the ticket.

The next morning, I took a flight to Los Angeles.

After returning to his home in Los Angeles and putting down his luggage, he contacted several intermediary companies at the first time, and finally selected one with good conditions and reputation.

"I don't ask much. Beverly mall, South Coast mall, Hollywood highland mall and Montana Street must have them!"

In front of the middle-aged black man in front of him, Zhuke kept drawing on the map.

The selected places are well-known crowded areas in Los Angeles.

"OK, please rest assured that our major will satisfy you." The middle-aged black man said solemnly.

Zhuke nodded, "OK, it's this major that you want. How long can you take me to have a look?"

"Three days!"

The black man made a gesture with great confidence.

Seeing off the agent, Zhuke sat alone in the room and thought, "after finishing several stores, I'll go to Pixar Animation for the first time and see jobs by the way."
