Chapter 919 It will be cleared
Actions speak louder than words at this time.

Zhou Xia directly ignored Yu Fei's complaints, strode forward and hugged her slender waist, and bowed her head for a domineering kiss.

Yu Fei struggled slightly, but it was useless at all. Gradually immersed in it, she forgot the anxiety of waiting just now, and responded enthusiastically.

A hearty battle was staged, which ended after a full hour.

"Yiyi, I'm going back to China tomorrow, when will you meet next time?"

Leaning in Zhou Xia's arms, Yu Fei asked contentedly.

"I can meet you when I return home."

Zhou Xia pinched her nose, and said amusedly, she was angry with him for being late when we met just now, and now I will ask about it next time.

"How can it be? It will take at least three or four months for me to return to the country to join the filming team. Aren't you also busy with your new film? Hey~, I'm fine, I only shoot one or two films a year. You say you, You're so busy, you're really not tired."

Yu Fei said that she changed her position and lay down comfortably, pushed Zhou Xia's hand away, and sighed.

"It's okay, it's work. Anyway, there are so many people helping me, so I don't feel too tired. If you don't play petty temper with me, then I won't be tired."

"Where do I have it? You are obviously not that busy in the past 20 days, and you don't go home at night, can't I ask?"

Yu Fei immediately retorted dissatisfiedly that she took the initiative to go to the hotel to find Zhou Xia during this time.

"With such a beautiful woman waiting every day, do you think I don't want to come back? Of course I can't get away from it. So we have to be considerate of each other in the future, don't we?"

Zhou Xia said helplessly.

Since Yaya was provoked last time, she almost gave birth prematurely. After the doctor told her, Zhou Xia took care of Yaya's emotions.

At this special moment, I still can't let myself go, if something goes wrong, I will regret it too late.

"Okay, I know you have a lot of things to do, so I won't trouble you in the future, and you should also pay attention not to be so busy."

Yufei was very Buddhist, but only complained occasionally, seeing that Zhou Xia had said so, she agreed in a reasonable manner.

"Well, it's okay, work harder now, I can retire in a few years."

"I don't believe it anymore. The golden age of directors is after the age of 40. You are still far away now. You will definitely work harder to become a world-renowned film master in the future."

"Hehe, am I not considered a world film master now? At least I have won the Golden Lion Award and Oscar in the world. Many directors can't do it in their lifetime."

Zhou Xia asked back with a smile.

He never thought of becoming a master, that is not what ordinary people can do, nor is he recognized just by film awards and box office results.

But he really wanted to know what Yu Fei thought of this matter.

"Now, it can only be considered barely. There are too few works of yours, and there are no classic works handed down to the world. It is because of your good box office results that you are so famous.

It may be that you are too young. The media always call you a miracle director, a Kung Fu superstar, a pioneer of Chinese films, a great commercial director, a movie wizard, the most successful commercial director... But not many call you a master. "

"That's true, so take your time. Okay, let's continue."

"Uh, uh..."

There was another strange sound that made people feel excited again in the bedroom.

………………

After Yu Fei left the next day, Zhou Xia continued to be busy with filming every day.

During this time, negotiations for the formation of new companies in North America were progressing slowly and almost to a standstill.

Studio8 is the most positive.

This is a company controlled by Xiahua, and is willing to retain only 5% of the management's equity and management rights, and become a company completely dominated by Xiahua Film and Television.

Of course, their ambitions are also great.

It is proposed to merge all the businesses and resources of Xiahua Film and Television North America Company, which were spun off, and require the parent company of Xiahua Film and Television to hold the equity and corresponding rights of Legendary Pictures and DreamWorks Animation.

In this way, Studio8 will at least catch up with the last two of the seven major Hollywood companies, Lionsgate and Paramount.

Generally speaking, Zhou Xia also felt that this would save trouble, and it would be easier to open up the situation than setting up a new company.

However, it is absolutely impossible for the management of the new studio8 to fully retain the management rights.

Zhou Xia can let them continue to operate and manage the company, but Xia Hua Film and Television or he must have control.

The entire management of stuio8 wants to merge the business spun off by Xiahua Film and Television's parent company to strengthen itself, and also wants to retain 5% of the equity and management rights, which is a bit unpopular.

As far as Stuido8's current valuation is only 4 million US dollars, the management now only owns 40% of the equity, which is worth 1.6 million US dollars.

The business spun off by Xiahua Film and Television North America Branch, plus the equity value of Legendary Pictures and DreamWorks Animation held by Xiahua Film and Television, is nearly 50 billion US dollars.

Don't look at Xiahua Film and Television North America, which has only been established for three years.

However, on behalf of Xiahua Film and Television Corporation, he has cooperated in many film projects with major Hollywood companies that are optimistic about the mainland market, and is also responsible for distributing Xiahua Film and Television Company's films in North America.

Movies such as "The Expendables 2", "The Expendables 3", "Pacific Rim", "Avengers 2", "New Detective", and "Sword" all made Xiahua Film and Television North America a lot of money.

In addition, the American TV series produced by themselves and several low-cost romance films and horror films have benefited a lot, so the total assets are as high as 40 billion US dollars.

Then Studio8 still wants 5% equity of the new company, but it is equivalent to 2.5 million US dollars, plus they still want to retain the management and management rights, which is of course unrealistic.

As a result, the two parties began to argue, and the negotiations stalled.

If the resources in North America cannot be integrated, form a new major production company.

It is obviously unrealistic to want to become bigger and stronger in North America and become a new Hollywood giant.

Not to mention the various policy restrictions of the US government, like Lionsgate, which rarely participates in large projects and mainly relies on the development of new IPs, so I don't know how long it will take to develop.

However, with the current strength of Xia Hua Film and Television, it is not enough to acquire a larger company to replace Xia Hua in North America.

Take Legendary Pictures, which is currently valued at around US$12 billion, as an example, Xia Hua didn't have enough money to fully acquire it.

And the exchange of shares was not what Zhou Xia wanted.

Then they can only borrow money in the country, or wait until Xiahua Film and Television is listed in North America, with more funds, and then reorganize.

Of course, it is also possible to create smoke screens, let out rumors, and negotiate a complete acquisition with Legendary Pictures in a low-key manner, to see if we can force the management of Studio8 to make concessions.

After Zhou Xia asked the company's negotiating team for their opinions, she asked them to start making preparations in this regard.

………………

In an old hotel with a sense of time, Zhou Xia and the entire crew are preparing for filming.

Zhou Xia was listening to the cameraman Luo Jie talking about the composition of the next scene. Nicole Kidman and Jennifer walked over together.

"Director, will this scene be cleared later?"

Seeing Zhou Xia and Roger stop, Jennifer stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, don't worry, the venue will be cleared." Zhou Xia said in relief.

Today, I mainly filmed several sex scenes between Carol and Terris, among which there is a boat scene of eating red fruit.

The two actresses can understand if they ask.
