Chapter 953 "Stubborn" (4 more updates, please subscribe)
Author: Qinggu
Zhuang Ling's investment in making a fortune is really a bit random.
The root of the problem is not with Mr. Zhuang, but with her wife.
Her wife not only owns a manor in Bordeaux, but also may have more than one property in Paris.
When Xia Yu mentioned this, Zhuang Ling pointed to a building not far away and said.
"Well, look, that building is the private property of your master's wife!"
When Xia Yu saw it, he didn't want to speak anymore, he was so arrogant!
Zhuang Ling then joked:
"You two look alike? You can buy it wherever you go. You just don't want to buy it in a beautiful country!"
Xia Yu: “The property tax is too expensive and I can’t afford it!”
If it were not for the Academy Award, Xia Yu would not even set foot in the beautiful country.
A bit dangerous.
Isn’t Europe pretty good?
Although I have visited several countries, it may become boring if I visit too much.
Because, unless you specialize in architecture, art, history and other related industries, you are interested.
You will find that these houses are basically the same, and you can't tell them apart if you look at them too many times.
But the humanities, customs, and scenery here are still very good.
If Xia Yu hadn't taken the path of being an actor and was just a graduate from a 985 college with some financial foundation, Xia Yu would definitely choose to study abroad here. The sun never sets because it's too expensive, so Spain, Germany, and Finland
It will be all right.
Finland, in particular, has been the country with the highest happiness index in the world for many years.
Earn a high salary and live a comfortable life.
There is a saying that goes well.
Although people here have high wages, they also have many holidays!
I got sidetracked, let’s get back to the point.
The procedures for the two properties in Paris were completed years ago.
As soon as Xia Yu and the others arrived, they didn't need to arrange a hotel or B&B, they just checked in directly.
Everything is decorated and arranged according to their habits.
Xia Yu didn't bother Carlos Zivkovic immediately.
She spent two or three days in Paris, waiting for "Aversia Hatcher" to be sent to the main competition before taking a rest.
Yes, just three days. Isn't three days enough? If it is enough, if you rest again, you will be slacking off.
Xia Yu has finished processing the text storyboards for "Beauty and Original Sin".
During this trip, in addition to urging Carlos Zivkovic to complete the post-production of "The Aesthetics of Death" as soon as possible, the other thing was to discuss the issue of text storyboards and art storyboards.
At the end of March, under Zhuang Ling's verbal coercion, Carlos Zivkovic moved from the small and cramped editing room of Future Film and Television to the editing room of the bankrupt sister branch.
Why do you say it is small? That building is only about a hundred square meters in total, and is used for both commercial and residential purposes.
Carlos is not a native of Paris.
After his parents passed away, he moved to the southeastern countryside of Lyon to spend time with his grandfather.
Before returning to Paris, I had been renting.
Directors, like ordinary actors, are at the bottom and cannot be strong-willed. They don’t have the capital to be so strong-willed.
Whether it's Xia Yu, Ashley, Hu Chang, Yu Junhao, Carlos... it's normal to not have a house at the beginning.
So, after the office was ready, he simply moved here for convenience.
A small part of it is where he lives, and a large part of it is the Future Film and Television Company.
Carlos' residence occupies one-third of the less than 200 square meters of land.
There are two offices and a conference room left. In the end, there are only about ten square meters left for the post-editing room?
Logically speaking.
As for Carlos Zivkovic and Yu Junhao's company, at least they don't lack the funds to buy a small villa as the company's front.
However, Carlos Zivkovic is a stubborn person and basically spent all his money on film investment.
The existence of this small company was due to Yu Junhao's unilateral investment, but Yu Junhao would not interfere in many things.
He is rich, but he is not like Xia Yu - his family is big and his business is big.
Carlos wasn't in a hurry, and he really wasn't in a hurry either.
Then just wait.
When he comes to film in this film next time, and when Carlos Zivkovic is adjusted by Zhuang Ling and knows how to stabilize a company and put the future film and television on the right track, it will not be too late for him to provide money.
He doesn't care about money either, but he's not a fool. If he really gives it to Carlos, this guy can invest in the film again.
We can’t call waste a waste, but we definitely can’t call it waste. It must be a good thing.
Might as well put them all into the Zhuyi Fund.
He felt that it was unreliable to start a company with a guy like Carlos, and there was no certainty about it.
A director is responsible for screenwriting, directing, producing, post-production, and company operations.
But apart from the directing thing, everything else is a stretch.
It's okay if I don't compare. Compared with Xia Yu from the same studio and company, it's not too explosive.
Yu Junhao realized a problem very early and has been exploring it.
They need an operation.
He and Carlos are definitely not good enough. Neither of them has this talent, so hire a trustworthy operator with a high salary.
To be honest, his first thought was Tao Tang.
Although he was poaching Xia Yu, Tao Tang was the most ideal candidate he thought of.
I just knew that she was pregnant again and probably wouldn't have time for another three to five years, so I didn't mention it at that time.
Even if there were, he expected that Tao Tang would not take it.
When Xia Yu came to Beautiful Country, Tao Tang didn't even come, so he, an outsider, couldn't do anything wrong.
Tao Tang was able to help him manage the Zhuyi Fund simply because it was a public welfare undertaking.
Moreover, in the entire future film and television industry, Carlos is the only director and he is the actor, which is also very uneven.
It wasn't until the bankrupt sisters invested and intervened in "Aesthetics of Death" and "Beauty and Original Sin" that Yu Junhao finally saw a glimmer of hope!
Although Carlos is still rude now, Yu Junhao has known him for five years and worked with him for more than three years, so they still understand each other more or less.
As long as you are willing to keep spending money so that Carlos Zivkovic can continue to be obsessed with creation, the power of film and television operations will eventually be handed over in the future. Because Carlos himself will gradually realize the difficulties.
The subsequent editing and production of "The Aesthetics of Death" and the involvement of the bankrupt sisters were a sign.
Regarding the issue of "taking over future film and television operations", Yu Junhao mentioned it to Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling.
He sincerely said:
"Carlos is a very thoughtful director, both in terms of directing and screenwriting. But the teacher said that neither Carlos nor I are good at operations or management, and we can't find good management talents for the time being."
"The Bankrupt Sisters have already gained a foothold in Hollywood. If they move to Europe and get a piece of the pie, they may arouse dissatisfaction from many circles. Regarding this, the entertainment capital here is basically saturated, but with future film and television as a shield, it will be much easier.
With one more excellent director and screenwriter, I think our two film and television companies may be able to achieve a win-win situation!"
"Now that the bankrupt sisters have accepted a certain amount of shares, they definitely don't want to lose money. I hope you can consider it!"
