The Pasha bottled water project and the wine estate project, both projects actually belong to Zhuke's personal industry, rather than projects affiliated to Jinshuguang Entertainment Group.

As the CEO of Kingshuguang Entertainment Group, Victor Jones does not participate in projects in Zucker's other industries, but who has left Zucker unavailable?

So far, Zhuke's private think tank has only 5 members.

They are Zhang Wei, a private lawyer representative, Anna Josephine, financial consultant, Ike Mosinsky, who is in charge of banking, Ms. Osede, who is in charge of Seattle Science Park, and Budget Liszt, who is in charge of various industries under Zucker.

Only these 5 people!

With the expansion of various industries in Zhuke and the increase in industries involved, the original five-member team of think tank members is not enough now.

There is no way, so I can only entrust CEO Victor to take it!

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

Zhuke sighed and said, "I don't know, but you also know that the first priority of the choice of think tank members is... it's better to have nothing than to be too bad."

Victor nodded and suddenly said, "I'll give you a suggestion, your eyes may be able to look at the Far East market. In recent years, the economy of the Great Heavenly Kingdom, Japan and South Korea has developed rapidly, and a large number of excellent strategic talents have emerged, especially the Great Heavenly Kingdom market. You can't say that you can find a very suitable person."

Far East?

In an instant, Zhu Ke was shocked and said happily: "You are right, maybe I will go to the Great Heavenly Kingdom as soon as possible."

Others don’t know, can Zhu Ke still not know the development potential of the Great Heavenly Market?

In a blink of an eye, it was already evening.

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

That's right, it's a private estate.

A huge manor covering an area of ​​about 35 acres!

Don’t say that this manor is very big, but it is actually in New Zealand, where the land is vast and sparsely populated. Not to mention the 35-acre manors are everywhere, there are definitely many. If Zhuke didn’t like the bigger ones very much, then according to Zhuke’s current strength and social status, it would be very easy to buy an island in New Zealand.

......

A few days later.

Zucker is planning to turn around Los Angeles.

Before leaving, Victor simply reported to Zhuke.

"The location of the Pasha bottled water factory has been initially determined. In the small town of Mitchell in Christchurch, an environmentalist and geologist from the University of Los Angeles has begun secondary testing of the water environment. At the same time, the president and management team of Pasha bottled water factory recruited, and I have commissioned several headhunting companies to select elite talents from around the world." Victor said.

The words fell.

Zhuke asked: "The number of local workers in New Zealand must be guaranteed to account for more than 89%, and the number of employees must not be less than 8,000."

"I understand."

Victor didn't ask much about the reason.

Thinking about it, if Zhuke can obtain the right to withdraw water for 50 years at one time, it will inevitably have many hidden terms with the local government in New Zealand.

Among them are terms to solve the employment problem!

In the following time, Victor successively reported to Zhuke one work after another.

Zucker nodded frequently.

"I understand the general situation."

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

.........

The next day.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, Zucker flew away from Christchurch on his private plane, turning to Los Angeles.

Is the New Zealand business over?

Of course not!

Whether it is the special effects company Vita Digital, the Pasha bottle water transfer project, or the wine estate in the Hawke Bay Area, there are actually many follow-up matters to be handled, but it does not require Zhuke to come forward in person.

What do you do to raise so many people under your command?!

If Zhuke does everything himself, even if Zhuke is exhausted, he will probably not be able to solve the problem. Moreover, to be honest, many people below are much better than Zhuke, who is half-baked.

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

After getting off the plane, Zucker immediately went to Wald Pictures.

"Boss, then Vita Digital will be our Wald Pictures subsidiary in the future?" Kevin Feige said.

"It can be said that we occupy 51% of Vita Digital's shares after all," Zhuke said.

Vita Digital, Jinshuguang Entertainment Company holds 51% of the shares;

Secondly, News Group holds 39% of the stake;

Again, the founder teams such as Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor account for 10% of the shares.

Zhuke said: "Kevin, you have to understand that, as far as I am concerned, I am quite optimistic about the future of Vita Digital, well, you know?"

"I understand, boss. You mean that the future special effects work of our Wald Pictures, especially those very difficult special effects work, will be left to Vita Digital to complete."

A smart person is a smart person, and you can understand it at a glance.

Obviously, Kevin Feige is a smart person, otherwise he would not have become the boss of Marvel Studios in the original time and space.

Dongdongdongdongdong~

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

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

"Mr. Feich, I just...hey, boss, are you back from New Zealand?" O'Connor was stunned when he saw Zucker.

Zhuke waved his hand: "You talk about you, I'll just listen."

O'Connor nodded and turned to Kevin Feige and said, "The script editing of "Spider-Man 2" has been finalized. The problem now is Toby Maguire, who plays the leading actor Peter Parker, is going to increase his salary."

Increase pay?

As soon as he heard this word, Kevin Feige frowned immediately.

The same is true for Zucker.

The production company of course hopes that the lower the actor’s pay, the better, 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 famous for being difficult to deal with, and has caused many production companies a headache.)

“$12 million!”

“In addition, there is a 5% share of North American box office.”

O'Connor said heavily.

"It's so dark! When Toby Maguire starred in "Spider-Man 1", the pay was only $1.5 million. Now the movie is so popular that it's just $12 million. The most important thing is that he actually wants to share the box office?!"

At this moment, Kevin Feige was extremely annoyed.

Especially the 5% box office share, this is simply cutting the loss!

The North American box office of "Spider-Man 1" is close to $400 million. In terms of conversion, the North American box office share of 5% is close to $20 million!

Plus $12 million in actor pay ~

hiss!!!

After counting, the cost of Toby Maguire's appearance in "Spider-Man 2" completely exceeded $30 million!

This is a totally scary rhythm!

The production company aims to be low cost and high profits, requires low rewards and high abilities of artists;

A brokerage company aims to give high rewards to artists;

The two goals are contrary to each other and have their own positions. Without long-term negotiations, it is impossible to reach an agreement.

This is why most Hollywood production companies are just simple production companies and do not involve artist agency matters.

Even the Blue Bird agency under Zhuke is only to meet the needs of TV and movies, not a special artist agency.

The water here is very deep, very deep!
Chapter completed!
