Wanda leaves, and the Huayi brothers arrive. Zhou Shi didn't know what was going on in the world, or he hadn't paid attention to this information before, how could these domestic entrepreneurs be so bold. Legendary Pictures is nothing to Zhou Shi, and these people in China are actually rushing to ask for it. Zhang Zhao is also asking about the possibility of Starlight acquiring a stake in Legendary Pictures.

"Your brain is in water, you have Marvel and Miramax, what more do we need from Legendary Pictures, don't you want to be a shareholder anymore, does Starlight have so much money?" Zhou Shi said angrily, because of the relationship between Zhou Shi, Starlight's finances have always been very tight, and the debt ratio is much higher than Huayi's, but fortunately, there is the richest man in the background, and there is no problem. But Zhou Shi will not let them use their credit all the time, after all, this is not much good for the company's long-term development and personal interests.

"Isn't it a pity, the domestic market is only so small, how good it is to be able to participate in international competition. "Zhang Zhao

"You have what it takes, and you compete internationally. Zhou Shi said silently in his heart, this is too hurtful, although he thinks so, but he will not really say it.

"You have to see the development trend of the domestic film and television industry, whether it is cinemas or box office revenue, the domestic is rising year by year, and the American film box office market, even if it does not shrink, there is not much room for development. Are you sure you want to go against the trend?" Zhou Shi hated that iron does not become steel, and conforming to the general trend of historical development is the first principle of grassroots rise. There are not many people who can be heroes in troubled times, and most people will be incompetent if they are out of the general trend. Starting a business a few years later, people like Ma Ali may not have much good development. If Zhou Shi does not start a business at the beginning of college, study step by step, and accumulate strength after graduation, it is difficult to have a chance for development.

"I'm just thinking about it......" Zhang Zhao said embarrassedly, the higher Zhou Shi's achievements, the fewer people who follow Zhang Zhao sincerely and firmly, and the secretary team of Chen Wen and others has gradually penetrated into the management of various companies to help Zhou Shi control power.

"By the way, is Despicable Me finished, and when are you going to release it?" Zhou Shi, this is the first big production they have cooperated with abroad, and they chose an animated film in a different way, which caused a lot of repercussions in China at the beginning. However, as time passed, no results were seen, and in the domestic media and competitors, it was defeated in the competition with Huayi's GEM IPO.

"It has been set to be released in June!" Zhang Zhao, this cooperation can retain the copyright, but the priority and distribution rights are transferred, if the quality of the work is guaranteed and the distribution is forcefully cooperated, it should not lose money. As for the sequel, that's built on a high box office. As for the production, although DreamWorks is responsible for the overall effects, all the work is spun off to all corners of the world, including the animation department of the digital domain of Time Games in the United States, Starlight's own animation production company, and the animation department of a special effects production company in France.

Speaking of "Despicable Me", they also had a war of words with Universal, and Christopher McRedandrey's Illumination Entertainment also had a similar project, so they directly said that Starlight Animation plagiarized without much investigation. was guided by Zhou Shi and let them scold for a while, and then slapped the world with detailed data, causing a burst of ridicule on the Internet. Then Zhang Zhao was sad in domestic marketing, telling about the disadvantages and various discrimination of overseas development, and attracting all kinds of goodwill from domestic audiences. It's a pity that Universal didn't fire Christopher McRedandre in the end, the creator of "Despicable Me" in his previous life was not included in his arms, but he just attracted a person named Yarrow Cheney, which is a small pity.

The production cost of this animation is controlled at 80 million US dollars, which is the high price of commissioning. Compared to the original, the production cost is a full $11 million higher. Of course, it is impossible for the current Zhou Shi to know this.

Ma Ali went to the United States to communicate with Yahoo about the contradictions between the two sides, and the Wang brothers followed by the way, uh, as for whether it was a stop by or a special trip, we will not delve into it, it doesn't matter.

"Mr. Zhou, we are very sincere to Legendary Pictures. "Wang Zhongjun

"Oh, I'm just investing, I don't care about the rest, just get the money in place!" Zhou Shi was not polite, although he was still a minority shareholder of Huayi Brothers, he would not sacrifice his interests for Huayi.

"That's good, it's enough to have a fair chance to compete!" Wang Zhongjun, he obviously didn't know that Starlight Film and Television Entertainment Company would not participate in the competition, and thought that this time it was a competition with Zhang Zhao.

"This time, there is Wanda in China, and the management of Legendary Pictures also wants my equity, and the management of the United States has priority, and I agree that Wanda will use the shares of Wanda Commercial Real Estate Company to participate in the auction. So to be honest, Huayi's chances are not big. Zhou Shi didn't want to make any intrigues, so Starlight pretended to participate in the auction and raised the price. That kind of thing seems very lo, he doesn't need to ruin his character for this little money. Not happy with their offer, Zhou Shi refused it, he has more choices.

"Mr. Zhou is really atmospheric! I'll go back and prepare first. "Wang Zhongjun is not talking nonsense, the conditions of the three parties have been given, this is the time to fight for strength and sincerity.

Not long after sending off the Wang brothers, Ma Ali, Chai Chongxin and others came to Zhou Shi's villa.

"You're still comfortable here, and you don't have so many worries. "Maali is a little tired

"Oh, if you like it, I'll give it to you!" Zhou Shi

"Give it to me, how much tax do you have to pay to the US imperialists? It's too extravagant. "Maali

"You don't have to pay taxes, I bought it in the name of a foreign company, and you just buy my company directly. Zhou Shi said lightly

"Damn, you're still cunning. "Maali

"It's normal, and most rich people do it. The United States is a country with inheritance tax and gift tax, and the gift tax for foreigners has a tax exemption of 60,000 US dollars, and then there is a tax of up to 40%. When buying a house, the broker will remind you that buying in the name of a foreign company can be tax-free.

"You can always think of various solutions when you encounter problems, and I can't do it," Ma Ali

"Oh, I had a conflict with Ms. Baci again" Zhou Shi

"Hey, don't talk about it, it's not good to have an uncle on your head!"

In fact, Ali's current environment is already very good, Zhou Shi has won so many Ali shares before and after, and most of the voting rights have been given to Ma Ali, you must know that Yahoo has about 30% of the voting rights, and Ali's voting rights should be about 35%, I really don't see how much of his need to worry. In his previous life, was Ma Ali forced to cry by Yahoo?
