Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

In the past two years, Universal Studios has been making a lot of moves. As movies are being filmed, Universal Studios' projects are constantly being updated. However, they still don't understand what this big ship hotel is all about.

Until... they saw the new movie released this summer, a love story amidst a global catastrophe; an epic love story made with a $300 million investment, touching the softest part of your heart.

Universal began a nationwide promotional campaign. People who have visited Universal Studios in the last year or two, upon seeing the Giant Ship (GG), have exclaimed, "What's that? A giant ship hotel?"

"We visited the survivors and recreated the scene from that year."

"Don't you want to know about the disaster that happened back then?"

"This is the most realistic disaster movie; the shining moments of humanity are right there in it."

"This is a deeply moving film; genuine emotions can only emerge in times of disaster."

"A movie worth watching with your loved one."

Zhang San didn't know if this movie, with a new director and actors, and three years in the making, could be as brilliant as the one in his previous life. If it wasn't successful, then he'd let the original director direct it.

In the past four or five years, under Zhang San's strategy, Universal has been developing very steadily, to say the least.

All film scripts, if not approved by him, cannot be filmed or even released; however, it must be said that MCA's development has been too rapid.

Furthermore, MCA has also made a takeover offer for Powertech, which is 50% owned by Siemens and Philips respectively. Therefore, MCA has offered $80 billion to both companies and is awaiting their responses.

If MCA acquires PowerGen, then MCA will merge with PowerGen to form Universal Music Group, and history will remain unchanged.

The preview screenings of "The Big Ship" began, and the theater was packed with viewers who entered with anticipation. However, once the film started, the audience's reaction was lukewarm. As the film progressed, some viewers began to feel sleepy, and some even left early.

Initially, critics and audiences alike didn't rate this disaster film highly. They found the plot clichéd and the special effects unrealistic. However, as time went on, some began to appreciate the film's depth and detail. They decided to watch it again, and even a third time.

On their second and third viewings, these viewers began to truly understand the characters and plot. They noticed details they had previously overlooked and felt the emotions and warnings the director wanted to convey. The disaster scenes became more impactful, and the characters' fates became even more gripping.

Of course, the right angle during filming also makes some shots unforgettable.

Gradually, the reputation of "The Big Ship" began to turn around, with people sharing their viewing experiences on social media and recommending it to their friends. The film's box office steadily climbed, making it a remarkable comeback film.

Seeing this situation, Zhang San finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders. He realized that sometimes you need to be patient to see the results of your efforts.

The film's success has boosted Universal Studios' popularity, attracting even more tourists. The Big Ship Hotel has become a must-visit spot for movie fans.

Although the film has received positive reviews, it doesn't mean it will recoup its costs quickly. He knew that the same film in his previous life took almost half a year to reach that box office height.

Even before the film's release, the company's marketing department led a team to negotiate with other film companies to change the original box office revenue plan. This film had an investment of 300 million. If the film's box office performance was not ideal... so what? At most, it would only result in a loss of 300 million US dollars.

However, after the movie was released, the Grand Ship Hotel's popularity gradually increased; especially the classic scene of John and Lily at the bow of the ship, a viewing platform was specially built for movie fans to take better pictures.

However, the rooms at the Big Ship Hotel are not cheap. Before the movie was released, there was a discount, but after the movie was released, the discount was no longer available. The Big Ship Hotel's standard rooms cost $500 a night, and deluxe rooms cost $2,000 a night, and demand far exceeded supply.

The ship also offers the classic car for $2,000 a night, allowing couples to truly recreate that classic scene.

In addition to these services, the Grand Ship Hotel also offers dance parties. There is a dance party every night with a different theme, but it is held every three months.

To attract more people to the Grand Ship Hotel, tickets for the ball were sold to the public.

The hotel's underwater restaurant is also a unique feature; among Universal Studios hotels worldwide, only Hong Kong currently boasts this underwater restaurant.

This underwater restaurant has a minimum spend of $300, and due to high demand, reservations are required to secure a table.

Zhang San also did not expect that since "The Big Ship" was released worldwide, Universal Studios' visitor traffic has increased by more than half, and all hotels are fully booked. This is true not only for Universal Studios in Hong Kong, but also for Universal Studios in North America.

The booming success of Universal Studios has also raised many questions, such as why such a company hasn't gone public.

Zhang San knew this was just sour grapes; he wasn't going to go public because going public would make many things difficult, and the financials would be exposed to the public.

As Zhang San's business grows larger and his wealth increases, tax avoidance becomes his top priority, as it can save him a lot of money.

Whether in Hong Kong before 95, Hollywood, or other parts of the world, filming movies has always been the best way to avoid taxes; this includes not only dynamic communities but also many well-known companies.

Investing in the cultural and entertainment industry is Zhang San's best way to avoid taxes.

Just as "The Big Ship" and "Dinosaur" were sweeping the globe once again, Zhang San's tax evasion issue was brought up again. Although the cost was three hundred million US dollars, building a hotel would become a fixed asset.

Then the only option is to focus on promotional activities, such as online promotion, which doesn't require much cost. But it doesn't matter, even if there's no cost, it can still generate production costs.

Besides online gigolos in North America, online gigolos worldwide have also become major players in advertising... skilled at spending money.

The stock price of Lihua Hotel has also risen recently, truly rising along with the stock price of "The Big Ship".

One of the hotel buildings at Universal Studios is managed by Lihua Hotel. With the release of the movie, many people come to Hong Kong specifically to visit Universal Studios, which also benefits other hotels in Hong Kong.

Recently, hotel stocks in Hong Kong have risen in tandem.
