Chapter 584 Shares of Legendary Pictures
The first volume of Legends of the Post-80s, Chapter 492: Legend Pictures Equity? Wanda left, and the Huayi Brothers came. Zhou Shi didn't know what was going on in this world, or he hadn't paid attention to this information before. Why are these entrepreneurs in China so brave? Legend Pictures is nothing to Zhou Shi, and these people in China are actually rushing to ask for it. Zhang Zhao was also asking about the possibility of Starlight's acquisition of Legend Pictures shares.
"Your mind is in water. If you have Marvel and Miramax, what else do we want? Do you don't want to be a shareholder? Does Xingguang have that much money?" Zhou Shi said angrily. Because of his backing Zhou Shi, Xingguang's finances have always been very nervous, and his debt ratio is much higher than Huayi. Fortunately, there is a wealthy guarantee and no problems. But Zhou Shi will not always let them use their credit, after all, this will not be much beneficial to the company's long-term development and personal interests.
"Isn't it a pity? The domestic market is just like this. How good is it to be able to participate in international competition." Zhang Zhao
"Do you have this ability? You are also participating in international competition." Zhou Shi said silently in his heart. This was too hurtful. Although he thought so, he would not really say that.
"You have to see the trend of the domestic film and television industry. Whether it is cinemas or box office revenue, the domestic market is rising year by year. Even if the US movie box office market does not shrink, there is not much room for exhibition. Are you sure you want to go against the trend?" Zhou Shi was a little embarrassed. Following the general trend of historical exhibition is the main principle of grassroots rise. Not many people can be heroes in troubled times and capable ministers in the world. Most people will be incompetent when they break away from the general trend. Starting a business a few years later, people like Ma Ali may not be able to have a good exhibition. If Zhou Shi did not start a business at the beginning of college, study step by step, and after graduation, he would be unable to have a chance to show his business.
"I'm just thinking about it..." Zhang Zhao said awkwardly. The higher Zhou Shi's achievements, the fewer people will follow Zhang Zhao sincerely and firmly. Chen Wen and others' secretariat teams have gradually penetrated into the management of various companies to help Zhou Shi take control of the power.
"By the way, has the despicable father finished? When will it be released?" Zhou Shi, this is the first big production they collaborated with abroad, and chose an animation in a different way. It caused a great response in China at the beginning. However, as time went by, no results were seen. The domestic media and competitors were slandering, resulting in defeat in the competition with Huayi GEM.
"It has been scheduled to be released in June of the summer vacation!" Zhang Zhao, this cooperation can retain copyright, but only gives priority and exercise. If the quality of the work is guaranteed and the operation is strong, you should not lose money. As for the sequel, it is based on a high box office. As for the production, although DreamWorks is responsible for the overall effect, all work has been split into various corners of the world, including the digital animation department of Time Games, Starlight's own animation production company and the animation department of a special effects production company in France are also involved.
Speaking of "Despicable", they also had a verbal battle with Universal. The lighting entertainment under Christopher McLedanderry also had similar projects, so they directly said that Starlight animation was plagiarized without much investigation. Zhou Shi took advantage of the situation and made them scold him for a while. After that, they used detailed data and information to slap Global in the face, which caused a lot of ridicule on the Internet. Then Zhang Zhao was tragic in China, telling the disadvantages and discrimination of overseas exhibitions, and attracting various favorable feelings from domestic audiences. Unfortunately, Universal did not fire Christopher McLedanderry in the end. The creator of "Despicable" in his previous life was not taken into his arms, but only attracted a man named Yaro Cheney, which is a small regret.
The production cost of this animation is controlled at 80,000 US dollars, which is the high cost of commissioned production. The production cost is 110,000 US dollars higher than the original. Of course, Zhou Shi cannot know this now.
Ma Ali went to the United States to communicate with Yahoo about the conflict between the two sides. The Wang brothers followed him along the way. Uh, we won’t go into the details as to whether it will be on the way or on the special trip. This is not important.
"Mr. Zhou, we are very sincere to Legendary Pictures." Wang Zhongjun
"Oh, I'm just investing. No matter what the rest is, the money is enough!" Zhou Shi was not polite either. Although he is still a small shareholder of Huayi Brothers, he would not sacrifice his own interests for Huayi.
"That's good. It's enough to have a fair chance of competition!" Wang Zhongjun, obviously, didn't know that Starlight Film and Television Entertainment Company would not participate in the competition, and he thought this time it was a contest with Zhang Zhao.
"This time there is Wanda in China, and the management of Legend Pictures also wants my equity. The management in the United States has priority. I agree that Wanda uses the shares of Wanda Commercial Real Estate Company to participate in the auction. So to be honest, Huayi has no chance." Zhou Shi didn't want to make any conspiracy and let Xingguang pretend to participate in the auction and raise the quotation. That kind of thing seems very 1o. He doesn't need to ruin his character for this little money. If he is not happy with their offer, Zhou Shi will refuse. He has more choices.
"Mr. Zhou is so generous! I'll prepare first when I go back." Wang Zhongjun didn't say nonsense, and the conditions of the three parties were given. This is the time to compete for strength and sincerity.
Shortly after seeing off the Wang brothers, Ma Ali Chai Chongxin and others came to Zhou Shi's villa.
"You are still comfortable here, there are not so many worries." Ma Ali was a little tired
"Oh, if you like this, I'll give it to you!" Zhou Shi
"Give it to me, how much tax does it have to be paid to the US imperial examination? It's so extravagant." Ma Ali
"No need to pay taxes. I bought it in the name of a foreign company. You can just buy my company directly." Zhou Shi said lightly.
"Damn, you're still cunning." Ma Ali
"This is a normal operation, and most wealthy people do this." Zhou Shi's operations are actually routine operations. The United States is a country with inheritance tax and gift tax. Foreigners' gift tax is 60,000 US dollars free of tax, and then there will be up to 40% taxes. When buying a house, economic people will remind that buying in the name of a foreign company can be tax-free.
"If you encounter problems, you can always think of various solutions, but I won't do it." Ma Ali
"Oh, I'm in conflict with Ms. Baci again" Zhou Shi
"Hey, let's not talk about it. There is an old man who is on his head and it's just unhappy!" Ma Ali
In fact, Alibaba's current environment is already very good. Zhou Shi has acquired so many Alibaba shares, and most of the voting rights are given to Ma Alibaba. You should know that Yahoo only has about 30% of the voting rights, and Alibaba's voting rights should be about 35%. I really can't see how much trouble he has. In the past life, was Ma Alibaba forced to cry by Yahoo?
