Chapter 329 of the text builds a set in North America

Next chapter

Where are the constraints of DreamWorks, Shirley Lansing, as the president of DreamWorks, naturally knows very well in his heart, except for the distribution channel, it is the set.

It is extremely inconvenient for a film company to not have its own filming venue. Even many of the filming locations can be found elsewhere.

However, without my own set, I feel insecure in everything I do, and I always feel like I have to be constrained by others. Of course, this is still in North America, because the history of North America is very short, and Wu Cheng has no intention of filming the subject of history, and he doesn't need historical buildings or anything.

However, every time you make a film, you have to find other eight major film companies to borrow the set, which is extremely inconvenient, and even sometimes, people make it clear that they are killing you, and you have no choice.

Moreover, the cost of renting someone else's venue is much higher. If you have your own set, then this part of the expenditure can be much less.

Therefore, a film company with its own set can be said to save trouble and money.

Moreover, if the scale of the studio develops in the future, a part of it can be opened up as a tourist attraction, and this part of the income is also a lot.

Just like the Jurassic Park and The Lord of the Rings, not to mention the box office of the film, after the filming location becomes a 'park', the revenue generation of this part is stronger than the box office.

Of course, now these two dramas have been covered by DreamWorks, and Wu Cheng wrote Jurassic Park early, although it can't be compared with the original book, but it doesn't matter. also took the adaptation rights of the Lord of the Rings.

In the future, 'Jurassic' will be adapted into a movie, and then a small island will be bought and built, and then built into a concept park, which can not only be filmed, but also used to develop tourism side businesses.

Therefore, when Wu Cheng mentioned that he wanted to build a studio, Shirley Lansing would be so excited.

Wu Cheng originally wanted to ask her to have lunch, but after hearing this, she directly refused to go out to eat, but called to order a lunch and asked someone to send it to the office.

"I don't know where the boss plans to build the studio?" Shirley Lansing looked at Wu Cheng and smiled: "You know, here in North America, each state has different laws, and the support for the entertainment industry is also different, I don't support putting the set in California."

Wu Cheng naturally knows this aspect, otherwise, DreamWorks' registered place would have been directly placed in California, but the taxation in California is too terrifying.

"The set here in North America, I'm going to put it on the Canadian side, you can send someone to find a venue, and when it's booked, let's go over and take a closer look, and even those plots of land can be bought, I heard that the land over there, private individuals can own it permanently. โ€

Shirley Lansing nodded, then took note of it on a piece of paper. After a while, she raised her head and said, "Boss, if you build a cinema on the Xiangjiang side, you can actually cooperate with DreamWorks, right?

Wu Cheng couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said: "Naturally, the labor cost of Xiangjiang is lower than that of North America, and this piece is completely okay, but it's a pity that it is more troublesome to find a group performance." However, some indoor scenes can be filmed there, and by the way, it can also promote the communication between the actors on both sides."

Wu Cheng feels that this is actually very necessary, and if the Xiangjiang actors want to go out, they should first communicate with the actors here, absorb the experience, and appreciate the style of Western actors when acting, so that when they go to Hollywood in the future, they will not be blinded. Even when necessary, you can also let the actors on the other side of Xiangjiang play supporting roles, and get familiar with them here first.

Wu Cheng feels that this is an opportunity and an opportunity to bring the actors on both sides closer.

Therefore, there is no problem at all for some indoor scenes to be filmed in Xiangjiang.

"In addition, the company should also have its own office building!" Wu Cheng smiled: "And we can completely put it together with AA's office space, you can choose the location!"

"New build, or just buy other office buildings?"

"See if the company's funds are abundant!" Wu Cheng smiled: "If it doesn't work, just borrow some money from the bank, in fact, I think the new one will be better, you can find a design company to design our office building, at least a little distinctive, easy to remember!"

"No problem, I'll close it!"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "I naturally believe in your ability to do things. โ€

In these Western countries, as long as there are lawyers and accountants, Wu Cheng is not very worried about staff corruption or anything, and even if there is corruption, it will not be like in China.

Therefore, Wu Cheng is very relieved to be so decentralized.

Because of this, these two professions, in Western countries, are quite popular.

Well, in addition, there is the profession of a doctor.

In China, the two professions of lawyer and doctor always make people feel a little lofty and dare not offend lightly. But in Western countries, this is a very common profession, and almost every family has its own personal doctor, private lawyer.

"Look at the situation, is the boss preparing for Xiangjiang again?" Shirley Lansing smiled, and finally said with a straight face: "Boss, I don't understand, with your talent and business acumen, in fact, even in Hollywood, you can also mix well, why can't the boss give up over there? In terms of movies, the market in North America is completely incomparable to the market in Southeast Asia, since the boss has opened up this market, why should you go far?"

This question is not only that Shirley can't understand, but in fact, many people don't understand. Obviously, Wu Cheng has the ability to rush into Hollywood, gain a firm foothold there, and have a hard fight with the eight major film companies, why do you still toss in Xiangjiang? Why can't you just leave?

Especially film companies like Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, not only are they strange in their hearts, but they are also secretly scolding Wu Cheng, eating in the cauldron, and actually staring at the small bowl, which is really owed.

When Wu Cheng heard this, he smiled and said: "There is my root, how can I give it up? As long as I still have my 'root' over there, then no matter how miserable I am outside, I still have a chance to make a comeback! But if I lose my 'root', once I fail."

"But I don't think you're going to fail, boss!"

Wu Cheng laughed and said, "Don't slap me on the back! No one can win forever! Even if DreamWorks has never failed, who can guarantee that its next drama will not be his Waterloo? I am doing business, not gambling!"

Of course, there is another reason, Wu Cheng did not say, because he is a reborn and is much more familiar with Xiangjiang movies than Hollywood movies. Although he has watched a lot of Hollywood blockbusters, he still hasn't seen as many as Xiangjiang movies, and he doesn't want to be said to be Jiang Lang's talent in the future.

Moreover, the real purpose of his entertainment industry is actually just to build his Crystal Palace, and the rest of the industry is just auxiliary conditions.

It's just that these things, which were regarded as his auxiliary conditions, have now developed and become a sign of his success. No one would think that he did these things just for the sake of his women. However, in fact, this is indeed his purpose.

It's just that these two reasons naturally can't be explained to outsiders!

It is estimated that even if he says it, no one will be willing to believe it! A big boss with billions on his body is willing to give up such a good opportunity for the sake of a woman, who will believe it!

But in Wu Cheng's opinion, this is not a problem. Although others are not in Hollywood, he has asked about DreamWorks matters, but he has not handled them personally.

Like his other companies, he only occasionally asks and gets a grasp of the general direction. If he has to handle everything himself, then he has a doppelganger technique, and it is not enough. In his opinion, as long as there is a team of lawyers and accountants, other things can be handed over to others to do, and you can grasp the general direction by yourself.

Otherwise, how could he be so relieved to be a dumped shopkeeper?

"But boss, you can sit here, and then find a manager over there, isn't it?" Shirley Lansing said again: "I think, there are always more opportunities here than in Xiangjiang, aren't they?"

Wu Cheng looked at her with a smile and said, "What? Do you want someone to come and take care of you? You know, if I come here to sit in charge, then you won't be as free as you are now?

Shirley Lansing shrugged her shoulders and said, "Of course, I don't want this! But I still think that making movies is better here in Hollywood than in Xiangjiang!"

Wu Cheng nodded and said: "I admit this, but I also said that Xiangjiang is my foundation, and the center of gravity of Donglong International in the future may turn to the continent that has not yet developed!"

When Xue Li Lanxin heard this, her eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, her eyes were full of surprise, and she said: "Boss, as far as I know, that continent is still in a situation where food and clothing are still in a problem!"

In a country where food and clothing are a problem, can the entertainment industry develop?

She knew that Wu Cheng's gaze had always been far-reaching, but was this too far-reaching?

Wu Chengwei smiled and said, "Wait patiently, give it twenty years to develop, and when the time comes, the potential of that country will burst out, even Hollywood can't ignore it, do you believe it?"

"But twenty years, isn't it a little too long?" her brows frowned slightly, and she said, "If you were given twenty years, I believe that DreamWorks could be made into the best film company in the United States!

Wu Cheng shook his head and said, "Hollywood, I'll come, in fact, I'm already here, haven't I?"
