That night.

Presidential Suite at Hilton New York.

Zhu Ke, who became rich overnight, was very luxurious, not only enjoying fine wine and food, but also enjoying an imperial service.

"The presidential suite is good, it's great, it's croaking!"

"I missed me, Mr. Zhu. I was in the entertainment industry in my previous life. I always saw those celebrities living in the presidential suite. This time I was really the first time, and I squeaked..."

In his previous life, although Zhu Ke was a middle-level manager of a small entertainment company, he was a damn logistics person and had little contact with those stars.

The income is extremely different, and even the unspoken rules are not his turn.

"When it comes to Hollywood beauties, everyone says that wealth tastes salty, and poor tastes salty. In this life, I, Mr. Zhu, will also taste salty and light taste! "

The tree-lined path you think is actually already full of traffic.

——Shakespeare.

Even though there are traces left by countless people in that place, we still yearn for it.

——Guo Moruo.

When you can easily enter, you should understand that it is not your ability, but the other party can tolerate your insignificance.

——Paul Kochakin.

"Ha...I have money now anyway!"

Thinking of the jokes from his previous life, Zhu Ke couldn't help but shivered. Forget it, let's just forget those buses, it's better to be more steady.

In the next time, Zhuke thought about how to use his first pot of gold. As a time traveler, he didn't think about how to make money. Is it just enjoying it now? That's too pursuing. I have to continue to make money and make a lot of money!

"Continue to invest in the stock market?"

The first time, this idea came to Zucker's mind.

After all, my current more than two million US dollars comes from the stock market and the listing of Netscape Company.

"It's not impossible, but I only know a rough idea."

"Although I know that investing in stocks of Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and other companies will definitely not lose money. In the future, they will be giants with a market value of US$1.3 trillion, but now it is too...."

Without further ado, Amazon in 1995 is not a giant now, but a cute newbie who has just been established less than a month ago (established in July) and has not been listed yet! As for buying its original stock, it is simply a waste of money.

Jeff Bezos, what a shrewd person!

He is smarter than the hairy monkey. Now he wants to get the original stocks from him, let alone Zhu Ke, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan.

The stock market can make money and make a lot of money, and the time traveler Zhu Ke knows.

Very clear!

But it is not now. In the next few years, especially after 1998, the Internet technology stock market will grow even more rapidly. By then, it will not be too late to have enough capital to enter the market.

"Then what should I do?"

"Forget it, let's do it all over the place, let's do it!"

Film and television entertainment!

In his previous life, Zhu Ke did this, and even in logistics, he was somewhat familiar with it.

"My home in Hollywood is in Hollywood, then go to Hollywood!"

"Look for a Hollywood company and become an employee? It's OK, but it's too bad for me, a time traveler."

"Open a film company directly?"

"Not even more, the water here is too deep and it is easy to be trapped."

"Movie-around stores, especially opening a few more stores to build chain stores?"

"It seems like this is a good way!"

It’s not that Zucker doesn’t want to enter Hollywood and open a film company directly, but as a half-in-one in the industry, he really knows the depth and xenophobia of the entertainment industry.

Think about Barry Mayer, Robert Iger, Sherry Lansing and others, who did not work from the grassroots level; think about Hollywood stars such as Julia Roberts and Angelira Julie, which one did not work from the role actors.

There are too many such things.

Even the son and daughter of Oracle boss Larry Ellison, who is a regular visitor of Forbes, has a $200 million quest to enter Hollywood with ambitions, but what is the result?

I've filmed several bad movies!

The bad movie "Air War Hero" alone paid nearly 100 million US dollars in tuition fees.

Have you been wasting a few years!

Finally, with the financial crisis in 2008, the economy across the United States was in a downturn, and major Hollywood companies were short of money, was it successful to integrate?

"Be careful...what is wrong, be more steady!"

Zhuke pinched his forehead.

Hollywood's xenophobia is one aspect, and the most important thing is Hollywood's accounting issues!

That is really wandering on the edge of the law. Under the premise that the law allows, make a big fuss on the book issue, and do the best to exploit foreign investors!

Never believe in the integrity of a large company!

For example: Spielberg's Dream Factory has been used to make hundreds of millions of dollars from India, Arabia and other regions.

Not to mention being a trap outsiders, even if you trap someone inside the circle, you will be ruthless.

My hands are very black!

"Harry Potter" series, what a great reputation.

It has earned a lot of fame for Time Warner Group. In terms of box office alone, it has harvested nearly 10 billion US dollars worldwide, not to mention peripheral authorization, DVD, video tape sales, clothing authorization, alcohol authorization, etc., which is a market of over 100 billion US dollars.

But you can believe that it was a loss on the company's books!

That's right, it's a loss!

And it's also a huge loss!

The film production company and distribution company are affiliated to Time Warner Group, but the two subsidiaries are divided into separate finances and calculated independently. In addition to the theater revenue, most of the profits that should have belonged to the production company are owned by the distribution company.

In this way, the production company will naturally suffer losses on the books.

Hissing....

"Big companies are black. Since the books are incurred, they can pay less corporate taxes without paying the main actors' box office profit share. What's the point!"

Several starring actors in the "Harry Potter" series once sued Warner to court on the issue of box office share.

But what is the result?

You think the traps set in the contract are joking about a group of lawyers that Warner has raised?

You will be so fun!

Even if a large company loses the case under special circumstances, it will take you a few years to waste your energy and will definitely not let you have a good time!

Anyway, your arms can't twist your thighs.

In this industry, you have to abide by the rules they set, otherwise you will be an alien, provoking the collective interests of major Hollywood companies, and finally driving you out of Hollywood.

Michael Jackson is one of them!

He holds the copyrights of countless songs, does not know how to compromise, and violates too many hidden rules and interests in the entertainment industry, so he will be ruined by his reputation. (Infringement of boys, skin color issues) Even after his death, many people will still talk about this.

"Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson also sued Xinyi Company for salary issues, and the lawsuit lasted for 6 years.

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

Zhuke couldn't help but sigh.

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

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

As half of the industry insider, Zhu Ke really knows the books too much.

The movie is obviously profitable, but it can also make you lose money on the books. If you don’t say much about anything else, the price of photography equipment is obviously US$200,000, but it can also make you US$1 million on the books. Other expenses of unrelated film personnel are all taken to the investors’ books. Anyway, there is a deep feeling here. Not to mention those who are outsiders, even those in the circle have to be careful.

"Just open a chain store around movies!"

"safe!"

"If you don't want to say anything else, Toy Story is about to be released, and that is the North American box office champion in 1995!"

"As long as you win the copyright, even if you only sell Sheriff Woody and Buss Light Year's toys, you can make a fortune. Not only can you make money, but you can also make an excellent stepping stone to break into Hollywood."

......

Do it as soon as you say it.

Zucker made a phone call overnight and ordered the air ticket.

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

After returning to my home in Los Angeles and put down my luggage, I contacted several agency companies as soon as possible and finally selected one with good conditions and reputation.

"I don't have much request, Beverly Mall, South Coast Shopping Plaza, Hollywood Heights Mall, Montana Street, must have it!"

Zhuke kept gesturing on the map at the middle-aged black man in front of him.

The selected places are well-known areas with overflowing traffic in Los Angeles.

"Okay, please rest assured that our profession will definitely satisfy you." The middle-aged black man said solemnly.

Zhuke nodded, "Okay, what you want is this major. How long can you take me to see?"

"Three days!"

The black man gestured a gesture with great confidence.
Chapter completed!
