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

Chapter 234 The Boss Has Never Made a Mistake

Filming three movies in one series simultaneously is a unique occurrence in Hollywood; and while the copyright lawsuit is still ongoing, the production will not be halted because of it.

As June arrived, the first installment of "Kara's Pirates" began its pre-release promotion. Following the established schedule, it started advertising on the internet, established an official website, and then began comprehensive promotion through newspapers and television.

Filming for this movie started last year and lasted a full year. The main problem was the barber, who frequently took leave, drank heavily, and... all of that was tolerable. He even smoked tobacco, which the crew tolerated.

Fortunately, the crew finished filming, and all that was left was post-production. Post-production for the first film was completed in May. After watching the finished film, Universal's publicity department nodded in approval, saying that the film was very good and a rare masterpiece.

As for whether it was done against their will, that doesn't matter. They knew that the boss was in charge of investing in and producing this movie.

If no one investigates closely, no one will know that Zhang San is the owner of these two companies. But if you investigate further, you will find...

However, Zhang San is now heavily in debt. He has a lot of debt, but no one knows that the bank behind him is also his debt. He owes himself money.

Every year, he has to pay huge amounts of interest, which makes many people sigh that this guy is very good at making money, but he is also very quick to pay interest.

Tessley applied for an injunction, but it was not granted, and they could only watch the movie be released. Meanwhile, Slime Pictures also applied for an injunction, prohibiting Tessley's Pirates theme park from using the same name and preventing the project from reopening.

The injunction is in effect!

The people at Tessney felt frustrated, and then they discovered something: Universal's Carrefour Corsair project had been launched, and this Corsair project was even better.

"This is... F**K! Can anyone tell me what happened?"

For Tessney, this was a disaster; for Universal, it was good news.

Moreover, this project was launched simultaneously in seven theme parks around the world. The theme park in the island nation started construction in 1995 and opened last year. It is now the highest-grossing theme park in the world, ranking among the top three of the seven theme parks. The second place is Hong Kong's theme park.

Robert is now the most powerful person in Hollywood, with an annual after-tax salary of nearly $100 million. He is one of the highest-paid people in the United States. At the meeting, he told the people from the park management company, "After the release of the movie 'Knockin' Pirates of the Caribbean,' there will be a surge in demand. You should be prepared."

Perhaps because he was too mild-mannered, everyone inside the company liked the CEO very much and thought that the boss had found a good person.

"Sir, pirate movies were condemned long ago; can our film truly recapture their former glory?"

Robert looked at the operations manager, who was still young, in his early thirties—an age where mistakes are acceptable—and said gently, "I trust the boss's opinion; he said it's okay." Then he continued, "The boss hasn't made a mistake yet."

Everyone in the meeting room burst into laughter. Yes, the projects controlled by the boss had never made a mistake, and that was their confidence.

A movie, especially a blockbuster movie, can bring a lot of benefits, not just the movie itself or the box office, but much more.

A ship is about to arrive at the port of Los Angeles, and all the goods on board are merchandise from the movie "Karak's Pirates".

When the person picking up the goods at customs saw the thick stack of documents, he exclaimed, "The higher-ups are really optimistic about this movie; they've even brought in a whole ship's worth of merchandise."

"Hehe... You only saw one ship. Actually, there are two more ships on the road. Next month, 'The Pirates of the House' will be released. I heard that the investment in this movie is huge, and the lead actor's salary has reached 30 million US dollars."

"Wow, why so many? That's outrageous! How long would it take us to earn thirty million dollars?"

"Heh...you don't understand. Their calculation methods are different. For the first movie, they might ask for less than ten million dollars, which is the treatment a star should receive; while some stars are superstars who are members of the twenty million dollar club, like Vermouth; they should originally be getting several million dollars, but they have to film three movies in a row, which not only consumes their time but also takes a lot of damage to the actors' physical and mental health. If the first movie is a success, they can ask for a higher salary; if it flops, they need to compensate for their reputation later..."

The two talked as they walked. After arriving at the destination and completing customs clearance, they began the handover. Then, due to a shortage of goods, a large number of trucks arrived to transport these peripheral products to various parts of North America.

Meanwhile, factories in the Yangtze River Delta region are rapidly producing more peripheral products. The orders for these peripheral products are so numerous that even with three shifts, they are still unable to keep up with the demand.

"Factory manager, should we hire more people? We're already overwhelmed and can't finish that many orders in a short time."

The workshop foreman's words troubled the factory manager. He sat at his desk, his brow furrowed slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes. He held a report in his hand, the numbers and words on it adding to his pressure.

Expanding recruitment means increasing human and material costs, which poses a significant challenge to the factory's finances. However, without expanding recruitment, the task cannot be completed, which could negatively impact the factory's reputation and future development.

He sighed softly, then stood up, walked to the window, looked out at the production workshop, and silently considered various possible solutions.

"I'll report this to my superiors. You need to hurry; there can't be any problems. If we expand production, we might not be able to keep up."

The workshop foreman had no choice but to go back and work overtime. He was mainly responsible for production, and now that he was going back, he wanted the technical team to stay in the factory more often to prevent any equipment problems, otherwise it would affect production and cause trouble.

As night falls and the city lights come on, the industrial parks in Hangzhou seem to be illuminated, brightly lit.

The park was bustling with people and vehicles, a scene of great activity. Workers hurried about, their steps hurried; truck drivers worked through the night loading goods, constantly moving cargo onto their trucks, their clothes soaked with sweat... The entire industrial park was filled with a tense yet orderly atmosphere, giving one a strong sense of work enthusiasm and responsibility.
