Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Four Spider-Man Lion Big Opening
"Hollywood Begins with Animation Novel()" Find the latest chapter!
The Pasha bottled water project and the wine estate project, these two projects actually belong to Zhu Ke's personal industry, not the projects under the Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.
As the CEO of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group, Victor Jones, in principle, does not participate in the projects of Zucker's other industries, but who makes Zucker unavailable?
So far, Zucker's private think tank has only five members.
They are Zhang Wei, a private lawyer, Anna Josephine, a financial consultant, Ike Mosinski, who is in charge of banking business, Ms. Ossed, who is in charge of the Seattle Science and Technology Park, and a small company who is responsible for maintaining the coordination of various industries under Zucker. Baggio Lister.
Only these 5 people!
With the expansion of various industries of Zhu Ke, the number of industries involved has increased, and the original five-member group of think tank members is now simply not enough.
No way, I can only entrust CEO Victor to do it!
"Boss, I suggest that 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 choice of think tank members is the first and foremost, and that is... it is better to be short than to waste."
Victor nodded and suddenly said: "I have a suggestion for you, you may be able to look at the Far East market. In recent years, with the rapid economic development of the Great Celestial Dynasty, Japan, and South Korea, a large number of Excellent strategic talents, especially in the big market, you can't say you can find very suitable people."
Far East?
In an instant, Zhu Ke was shocked and said happily: "You are right, maybe I will go to the Great Celestial Dynasty as soon as possible."
Others don't know, can Zhu Ke still know the development potential of the Great Celestial Dynasty market?
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.
Zucker, Victor, and Alexander returned to Zucker's private estate.
Yes, it is a private estate.
A huge estate covering an area of about 35 acres!
Don't say that this manor is very big, in fact, in the sparsely populated New Zealand, the manor of 35 acres is everywhere.
That's definitely not a minority. If it wasn't that Zucker didn't like bigger ones, then according to Zucker's current strength and social status, it would be very easy to buy a small island in New Zealand.
......
a few days later.
Zucker intends to return to Los Angeles.
Before leaving, Victor briefly gave Zuke a work report.
"The site of the Pasha bottled water factory has been preliminarily determined. It is in the small town of Mitchell in Christchurch. Environmental scientists and geologists from the University of Los Angeles have started the secondary inspection of the water environment. At the same time, Pasha bottled water. 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 all over the world." Victor said.
The voice fell.
Zucker asked: "The number of local workers in New Zealand must account for more than 89%, and the number of personnel must not be less than 8,000."
"I know."
In terms of reasons, Victor did not ask much.
Think about it and know that if Zucker can win the right to draw water for 50 years at one time, then there must be many hidden terms with the New Zealand local government.
There are clauses to solve the employment problem!
In the ensuing time, Victor reported to Zucker one after another.
Zucker nodded frequently.
"I understand the general situation."
Zucker 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, Zucker flew out of Christchurch on the private plane Rolla and returned to Los Angeles.
Is New Zealand's business over?
of course not!
Whether it's the special effects company Weta Digital, the Pasha bottle-to-water project, or the wine estate in Hawke's Bay, there are actually a lot of follow-up matters that need to be dealt with, but it doesn't require Zucker to come forward in person.
What are you raising so many people for? !
If Zhu Ke does everything by himself, then even if Zu Ke is exhausted, it is estimated that things can't be solved. Moreover, in terms of handling individual tasks, many people below are much better than half-hearted Zu Ke. just listen to the book
In the afternoon of the same day, Zucker arrived in Los Angeles smoothly.
After getting off the plane, Zucker went to Wald Pictures for the first time.
"Boss, so Weta Digital will be a subsidiary of Wald Pictures from now on?" Kevin Feige said.
"It's fair to say, after all, we own 51 percent of Weta Digital," Zucker said.
Weta Digital, Jin Shuguang Entertainment holds 51% of the shares;
Secondly, News Corp holds 39% of the shares;
Once again, founder teams such as Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor account for 10% of the shares.
Zucker said: "Kevin, you have to understand that, as far as I am concerned, I am quite optimistic about the future of Weta Digital, um, you know?"
"Understood, boss. What you mean is that the special effects work of our Wald Films in the future, especially those that are quite difficult, will be handed over to Weta Digital."
Smart people are smart people.
Obviously, Kevin Feige is a smart person, otherwise he would not have become the boss of Marvel Studios in the original time and space.
dong dong dong~
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The person who came in was the deputy director of the company's production department, Gavin O'Connor!
"Mr. Fitch, I just... Hey, boss, did you come back from New Zealand?" O'Connor was stunned when he saw Zucker.
Zuke waved his hand: "Whatever you say, I will listen."
O'Connor nodded, turned his head to Kevin Feige and said: "The script of "Spider-Man 2" has been finalized, and now the problem is Toby Maguire, who plays the leading actor Peter Parker, does he want Get paid."
Pay raise?
As soon as he heard this word, Kevin Feige immediately frowned.
So does Zucker.
Of course, the production company hopes that the lower the salary of the actors, the better, otherwise how can they make the most profit.
Kevin asked in a deep voice: "Tobey 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 studios.)
"$12 million!"
"In addition, there is a 5% share of the North American box office."
O'Connor said heavily.
"It's black enough! When Tobey Maguire starred in "Spider-Man 1", his salary was only $1.5 million. Now that the movie is popular, he is directly paid $12 million. The most important thing is that he actually wants to kill the box office. Divided?!"
At this moment, Kevin Feige was extremely annoyed.
Especially the 5% box office share, this is simply cutting meat!
The North American box office of "Spider-Man 1" is close to 400 million US dollars. Converted, 5% of the North American box office share is close to 20 million US dollars!
Plus $12 million in actor remuneration~
hiss! ! !
Once calculated, the cost of Tobey Maguire's role in "Spider-Man 2" completely exceeded 30 million US dollars!
It's a totally scary rhythm!
The production company, whose goal is low cost and high profit, requires the artist to have low compensation and high ability;
Brokerage company, the goal is high compensation for artists;
The goals of the two contradict each other and have their own positions. It is impossible to reach an agreement without long-term negotiation and compromise.
This is also why the vast majority of production companies in Hollywood are purely production companies, not involved in artist brokerage.
Even Zucker's Blue Bird Brokerage Company, at most, only exists to meet the needs of TV and movies, rather than a specialized artist brokerage company.
The water here is deep, deep!
