The next day John went out early, and the first thing he did was to hurry up to the second-hand garage to find a second-hand car to get around.

There was a car in the Purple Star Estate in Beverly Hills, but there was only one, and it was the Cadillac that Mrs. Morgan had specially equipped for John when he came to study at the American Film School two years ago.

It's just that now Devin Morgan is using it, and John thinks that he is a person who respects the old and loves the young, and it is impossible for him to grab a car with Devon Morgan, so he can only go to the second-hand garage to buy a second-hand car to deal with it temporarily.

The United States is known as a country on wheels, and the proportion of public transportation used by the United States is very low in the world, and some people may not have made a bus in their lives, and there are no subways and buses in many cities, and even if there are buses, there are only a few departures a day.

They usually choose to drive their own cars, except for the long distance across several states and the flight by plane.

So if you don't have a car in the United States, it will be very inconvenient to get around.

John finally spent $1,000 to buy a new 6-story Buick under the foolishness of unscrupulous profiteers in the second-hand garage, although it didn't look very good, but the car was in good condition, and it was good to have a means of transportation.

No one would have thought that the heir of the GM Group would actually buy a used car, and this kind of thing would happen to him, John felt that this was undoubtedly the biggest joke in the world.

And the bigger joke is that not far behind this used car, there are actually eight or nine brand-new Cadillac Fleetwood, which are not only the secret service personnel accompanying John, but also the medical staff.

After the car affair was settled, John immediately set up a film studio.

To make a film, you have to have a company or studio take the lead. Because movies are never played by one person, it's like playing football, no matter how good Ronaldo's football skills are, he can't play a whole team alone. And it's the same with movies, not just one person with a camera can solve all the problems.

The things involved in a film are all aspects, from the early script creation, actor screening, to the filming and post-production of the film, to the promotion of the film, the development of peripheral products, and finally to the release of the film in the theater and the distribution of accounts.

So John had to set up a film studio. Although the studio is not as complete as the company, it has cheap opening costs and less operating capital, and only needs to be equipped with some financial personnel, drama personnel and legal personnel.

As for the photographic equipment, if you have the money, you can buy a set, and if you really don't have the money, you can go directly to a Hollywood movie equipment store to rent a set.

John was first introduced by a real estate agent, and he spent $100,000 to rent a 300-square-meter house along Hollywood Street as a studio office.

After renting an office, John officially named his film studio "Crown Studios". And find a professional LOGO design company to design the logo for Crown Studio.

After the studio's logo was designed, John went to Delaware to register Crown Studios, and the reason why he went to Delaware to register was because Delaware's taxes in the United States are cheap.

Once the studio was registered, John finally had to staff the studio.

The first was to equip the studio with financial staff, John hired the world-renowned Pricewaterhouse accounting firm for Crown Studios to provide financial and tax audit services for the studio.

Pricewaterhouse is the smallest of the Big Six, but it has the biggest reputation.

In 1998, the firm merged with PricewaterhouseCoopers, the second-to-last of the Big Six, to become PricewaterhouseCoopers.

The combined PwC firm became the leader of the world's top four accounting firms.

Originally, a small studio couldn't afford to hire such a large accounting firm, but John still gritted his teeth and paid for no other reason, just two reasons, one is that the tax in the United States is different for each state, which is very complicated, and John still hasn't figured it out. Moreover, the U.S. Department of Revenue is the most difficult state unit, and John really doesn't want to fall into their hands.

The second is to deal with this gang of Hollywood guys who want money and don't want to die, these big distribution companies in Hollywood are all ruthless, and even those vampires on Wall Street dare to cheat for their money, not to mention John's small studio.

How profitable the "Harry Potter" series of movies was in the previous life, everyone on the earth knows that 8 movies have accumulated a total box office of 7.7 billion US dollars around the world, as well as tens of billions of dollars in peripheral income and brand licensing, but Warner Company has counted the last two parts of "Harry Potter" as a loss in order not to pay the share to JK Rowling and those young actors.

So John was willing to spend more money to hire Pricewaterhouse to do the financial audit. Nor willing to be the next JK Rowling.

Once the studio had an accountant, John also needed to hire a lawyer, and the film industry involved many legal issues, such as copyright, distribution, and acquisitions...... If you don't have a lawyer, it's easy to encounter infringement and contract traps.

After getting an accountant and a lawyer, John drove the Buick, which he had bought for $1,000 from a used garage, toward the American Film Institute and the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts. He went to put up some small advertisements on campus and recruit some interns for the studio. Although the intern has little work experience, he is fortunate to have no salary, which is most suitable for him who is now short of funds.

John also has no way to pick the door like this, he has spent $700,000 before and after this time.

As for the studio's film crew, John, don't worry, he has commissioned Devon Morgan to assemble an experienced film crew for himself at ICM.

The final quality of a film is not determined by the director alone, but by the entire film crew.

The director's job is to unify the thoughts of the film crew, coordinate the film crew to realize the director's own ideas and intentions, and convert the words in the script into images and sounds, and present them on the screen. Personnel one
