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

Construction was in full swing in North America, and Zhang San couldn't possibly be there every day as a supervisor. There were professional supervision companies here, so he handed over the work to them and left.

On the plane leaving North America, he thought about how professional North America really was. For filmmaking, there were completion guarantee companies that could collect millions of dollars at a time, making money like it was nothing. For construction projects, there were supervision companies. These kinds of companies were incredibly professional.

In a capitalist society and a mature market environment, all kinds of professional companies exist. They are in their respective fields. It can be said that as long as you have the money, any kind of company or any kind of job can be done for you.

What will Zhang San do when he goes back?

Of course, it's for making a movie. But this time, Amy is also going back with him. She's going back as his secretary. The reason for this trip to the mainland is to establish a new company, which is a cinema chain.

For a period of time, there were no private cinema chains in mainland China. It was only after the opening up that private cinema chains emerged.

After more than ten years of expansion, Lihua Supermarket has reached nearly 8,000 stores, of which 4,000 are owned properties and the other nearly 4,000 are leased properties from other places.

The four thousand self-owned properties already have space reserved, with cinemas and children's playgrounds on the top two floors, which can be completely converted.

He's here now to deal with this matter.

"Amy, do you know how many people are on the other side of the ocean? 1.4 billion people, the most populous country in the world, with a 5,000-year-old civilization that has never been interrupted. Other countries are just embellishing themselves as a civilization. But they are hiding a civilization as a country."

Zhang San became very excited when he talked about this.

Amy asked, puzzled, "Then why did you immigrate to America?"

Zhang San sighed and said, "For love, my wife Eileen left me forever not long after our marriage."

Amy asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"I'm sick, the kind of illness that can't be cured." Zhang San's face showed great pain. It was as if it were the body's instinct; just thinking about it made him feel like he was in unbearable agony.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked. You're so pitiful."

When foreigners comfort someone, they often hug them. He was being held in Amy's arms right now, and to be honest, it felt quite comfortable.

Amy hugged Zhang San for a while and then realized that he had fallen asleep. When she looked down, she noticed a tear in the corner of Zhang San's eye.

If Zhang San saw this now, he certainly wouldn't think that these were tears he wanted to shed, or that they had nothing to do with him. How could a heartless guy like him possibly shed tears? No, it definitely wasn't him.

Amy felt she still didn't understand him and had some misunderstandings about him. So, she held Zhang San and fell asleep.

Sometimes, that's how women are. Men cry and play games with you, but Zhang San is different. He doesn't need to. If he really doesn't like her, he can leave. He's not a particularly possessive person.

Of course, if you mess around with him while you're with him, then don't blame him.

When the plane landed at Shanghai International Airport, many people found it strange to see an unmarked aircraft, since even private planes usually have markings. Although it was odd, no one paid much attention to it.

Zhang San's plane indeed had no markings, and without markings, naturally no one knew who was on board. He also made a low-key exit from the airport, where someone was waiting for him. He came out through the VIP channel, got into a car, and drove away.

Speaking of cinemas in mainland China, they are transitioning from single-screen cinemas to multi-screen cinemas, with multiplex cinemas becoming the mainstream.

Zhang San witnessed the development of cinemas in mainland China twice. A typical cinema is like an auditorium, especially in county towns. Meetings are held in cinemas, and school events are also held in cinemas. So, cinemas have many functions.

According to legend, early cinemas had box office problems, with the actual number of viewers exceeding the reported figures; some people at the time explained that this situation was unavoidable.

"Lower incomes, lower movie ticket prices, and a large number of people—everyone relies on movie theaters for their livelihood. Some things are just human nature."

This was the mindset of people in that era: those who lived off the land lived off the land, and those who lived near the cinemas were considered unlucky for filmmakers. Filmmakers of that time didn't care much about box office returns; some made underground films, some made legitimate ones, but their sole purpose was to win awards.

If you win an international award, that's great; you can live off it for a lifetime. Take the third, fourth, and fifth generation of directors, with Zhang Yimou as a representative example. He won many international awards during that period and is very famous internationally.

During this period, there were two problems: the lack of a sound cinema chain system and the lack of standardized management of cinema chains. Starting in the early 1990s, with Universal's "Dinosaur," special effects movies swept the globe. Then, in 1995, the "Big Ship" movie starring Zhang San appeared out of nowhere, and the whole world began to be dominated by Hollywood, with no one able to rival it.

Zhang San felt that he had no rivals, even with his hands in his pockets.

However, this was not the end, but only the beginning. Hollywood movies began to rise in the early 1990s. Actually, there was nothing special about them. The storylines were criticized... but the special effects were good. The content was criticized... but the special effects were good. The actors were criticized for their lack of acting skills... but the special effects were good.

Everything else pales in comparison to amazing special effects. Therefore, most of Zhang San's movies are just showing off his skills and rich special effects, leaving people with a lot of feelings.

Hollywood special effects are renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship and innovative concepts. What sets Hollywood special effects apart from those elsewhere is their relentless pursuit of detail.

Every special effects scene has been meticulously designed, from the virtual character's hair to the lighting effects in the background, every detail has been sculpted to near perfection.

Meanwhile, Hollywood special effects teams excel at using advanced technologies, such as motion capture and 3D modeling, to create realistic visual effects that immerse audiences in the experience. Furthermore, Hollywood special effects not only focus on visual impact but also on integration with the storyline, making special effects a crucial element driving the plot forward, rather than merely showcasing technical prowess. This perfect combination of detail, technology, and narrative makes Hollywood special effects unique in the global film and television industry.

After Zhang San acquired Amazing, his goal was to create special effects movies. As for the content, he figured he could just hire some third-rate screenwriters, so he hired second-rate ones.

Given his stingy nature, everyone can understand that he's capable of doing such a thing.
