Hollywood starts with animation

The Pasha bottled water project and the wine estate project, these two projects actually belong to Zhu Ke's personal industry, rather than projects under the Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.

As the CEO of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Victor Jones does not participate in Zhuke's projects in other industries in principle, but who makes Zhuke no one available?

Up to now, Zhu Ke's private think tank has only 5 members.

They are personal lawyer representative Zhang Wei, financial adviser Anna Josephine, Ike Mosinski in charge of banking, Ms. Osid in charge of Seattle Science Park, and a small person in charge of maintaining the overall planning of various industries under Zucker. Baggio Liszt.

Only these 5 people!

With the expansion of Zhu Ke’s various industries and the increase in the number of industries involved, the original five-member think tank is now simply not enough.

No way, I can only entrust CEO Victor to top it!

"Boss, I suggest you expand the number of your private think tank as soon as possible." Victor said.

Zhu Ke sighed and said, "I don't know, but you also know that the most important thing in the selection of think tank members is... Ning Que Wu Lan."

Victor nodded, and suddenly said, "I'll give you a suggestion. You may be able to look at the Far East market. In recent years, the economy of the Great China, Japan, and South Korea has developed rapidly, and a large number of them have emerged. Outstanding strategic talents, especially in the Great Tianchao market, can't say you can find very suitable people."

Far East?

Suddenly, Zhu Ke was excited and happily said: "You are right, maybe I will go to the Great Heavenly Dynasty as soon as possible."

Others don't know, can Zhu Ke still be aware of the development potential of the Datian Dynasty market?

In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the evening.

Zhuke, Victor, and Alexander returned to Zhuke's private estate.

Yes, it's a private estate.

A huge estate with an area of ​​about 35 acres!

Don't say that this manor is very big, but in fact it is in New Zealand, which is vast and sparsely populated. Not to mention that there are 35 acres of manor everywhere, and it is definitely not a minority.If it wasn't for Zhuke that he didn't like bigger ones, then according to Zhuke's current strength and social status, buying a small island in New Zealand is a very easy thing.

...

A few days later.

Zhuke intends to return to Los Angeles.

Before leaving, Victor briefly reported to Zhu Ke.

“The location of the Pasha bottled water factory has been initially determined. In the town of Mitchell in Christchurch, environmentalists and geologists from the University of Los Angeles have begun a second inspection of the water environment. At the same time, the Pasha bottled For the recruitment of the president and management team of the water plant, I have entrusted a number of headhunting companies to select elite talents from around the world.” Victor said.

The voice fell.

Zhu Ke asked: "The number of local workers in New Zealand should be at least 89%, and the number of personnel should not be less than 8,000."

"I know."

As for the reason, Victor didn't ask much.

Think about it and know that if Zucker can win 50 years of water rights at one time, there are bound to be many hidden terms with the local government of New Zealand.

Among them are clauses to solve employment problems!

In the following time, Victor continued to report to Zhu Ke one after another.

Zhu Ke nodded frequently.

"I understand the general situation."

Zhuke said: "Alexander, I will leave it to you, I believe he will be a good assistant."

.......

The next day.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Zhuke flew out of Christchurch by private jet, the Lola, and turned around Los Angeles.

Has the New Zealand business ended?

of course not!

Whether it is the special effects company Weta Digital, the Pasha bottle transfer project, or the wine estate in Hawke's Bay area, there are actually many follow-up matters that need to be dealt with, but it does not require Zhuke to come forward.

What is it for raising so many people under your hands?!

If Zhu Ke did everything by himself, then Zhu Ke would not be able to solve the problem even if he was exhausted. Moreover, there is a saying that many people are much better than the half-hearted Zhu Ke in handling a single job.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Ke successfully arrived in Los Angeles.

After getting off the plane, Zhuke went to Wald Pictures for the first time.

"Boss, so Vita Digital, will we be a subsidiary of Wald Pictures from now on?" Kevin Fitch said.

Zhu Ke said: "It can be said that, after all, we have a 51% stake in Weta Digital."

Weta Digital, Golden Dawn Entertainment Company holds 51% of the shares;

Secondly, News Corporation holds 39% of the shares;

Third, the founder team such as Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor accounted for 10% of the shares.

Zhu Ke said: "Kevin, you have to understand one thing. As far as I am concerned, I am quite optimistic about the future of Weta Digital, eh, you know?

"Understood, boss. What you mean is that the special effects work of Wald Pictures in the future, especially those difficult special effects work, will be completed by Weta Digital."

A wise person is a wise person, and it makes sense.

Obviously, Kevin Fitch is a smart man, otherwise he would not become the boss of Marvel Pictures in the original time and space.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

The person who came in was Gavin O'Connor, the deputy director of the company's production department!

"Mr. Fitch, I just...huh, boss, are you coming back from New Zealand?" O'Connor looked at Zhu Ke and was immediately stunned.

Zhuke waved his hand: "You say yours, and I just listen."

O'Connor nodded and turned to Kevin Fitch and said: "The script for "Spider-Man 2" has been finalized. The problem now is Toby Maguire, who plays the actor Peter Parker. He wants The pay has risen."

Increase in salary?

Upon hearing this word, Kevin Fitch frowned.

The same is true for Zhuke.

Of course, the production company hopes that the actors' pay is as low as possible, otherwise how to make the most profit.

Kevin asked in a deep voice: "Toby Maguire's agent is Juan Wiggins, right? How much does he want?"

(Juan Wiggins, a well-known agent, is notoriously difficult to deal with and a headache for many production companies.)

"12 million dollars!"

"In addition, there is a 5% North American box office share."

Ou Kangnuo said heavily.

"It's dark enough! When Toby Maguire starred in "Spider-Man 1", the pay was only 1.5 million US dollars. Now the movie is very popular, and the pay is 12 million US dollars directly. The most important thing is that he actually hit the box office. Divided?!"

At this moment, Kevin Fitch was extremely annoyed.

Especially the 5% box office share, which is simply cutting meat!

The North American box office of "Spider-Man 1" is close to 400 million U.S. dollars. When converted, 5% of the North American box office share is close to 20 million U.S. dollars!

Plus 12 million US dollars in actor pay~

hiss!!!

Once calculated, the cost of Toby Maguire’s appearance in "Spider-Man 2" completely exceeded $30 million!

This is a terrifying rhythm!

Production company, the goal is low cost, high profit, requires artists to be paid low and have high ability;

Brokerage company, the goal is high pay for artists;

The goals of the two run counter to each other and have their own positions. It is impossible to reach an agreement without a long period of negotiation and compromise.

This is why the vast majority of Hollywood production companies are purely production companies and do not involve artist management.

Even the Jade Bird agency under Zhu Ke, at best, only exists to meet the needs of TV and film, rather than a dedicated artist agency.

The water here is deep, deep!
