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

Good news either doesn't come at all, or it appears one after another, leaving many people bewildered. The housing prices there have already risen to 7,000 yuan per square meter, and there are still no houses for sale.

Aside from the early Yuzhou real estate speculators who didn't take it seriously, the only positive thing was that Global Studios would be building its first mainland China theme park here.

Originally, they thought that was the end of it, but then news came that the area and the surrounding land would be developed into a new city. What was originally a rural area was expected to become the central area of ​​the new district.

This news immediately attracted the attention of countless people. Could it be that a new server is coming? This news has not been confirmed. It is only a prediction, a possibility, a likely event, or something that is still far from being confirmed.

However, after this incident, everyone learned that the property prices around Universal Studios have already reached 7,000 yuan per square meter.

"Boss, do you have any good news to make me richer?" Zhang San knew that Fang Xiaobing was up to something again when he heard her sweet voice in his ear.

Ever since she tasted success at Paradise City, this life of earning money without acting has excited her greatly, and she's starting to get addicted.

How much can we earn this time?

Currently, if they sell everything, they can make at least 100 million. Of course, if they sell it in 2007, it will be several hundred million. They can then rest easy and not act anymore.

"Then stop acting, be a behind-the-scenes producer, a production manager, be your own boss, make movies, and I'll distribute them for you."

This is not just talk. Zhang San now owns 4,000 cinemas under construction, distributed throughout the country. Unlike North America, where the early Paramount Decree prohibited film distributors from operating cinema chains, this was an anti-monopoly measure.

This dealt a blow to the film industry at the time, and it wasn't until the 1990s that it began to rise again. Despite the impact, even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and therefore it still has a great influence around the world.

If that's not the case, then Hong Kong was called the Hollywood of the East in the 80s and 90s, instead of calling Hollywood the Hong Kong of the West.

However, the cinema business can still restrict the release of movies, for example, by only giving you one or two small theaters for screenings, or by scheduling your screenings for midnight showings.

Of course, if it's very profitable, they'll increase your screenings or put you in better time slots, but not every film will be like that.

Distributing a blockbuster film is no easy task, but Zhang San now controls the entire upstream and downstream industry chain from top to bottom. Naturally, he's not afraid of what others say; at worst, he'll just release it in his own theaters.

Once one industry has established a foothold, other similar industries can be launched very smoothly, especially for nationwide enterprises like this.

In July, Zhang San's Lihua Cinema Circuit officially launched. These cinemas had been preparing since last year, and now it was just a formality. In July, they officially began to screen new movies. The first movie was "Mutant Spider-Man," a collaboration with Columbia, which is a superhero film from Marvel.

As for why it's a collaboration rather than an exclusive deal...

Back in the mid-to-late 1980s, Cobia spent a fortune to buy the film and television adaptation rights to the comic book from someone else.

After Zhang San acquired Amazing, he tried every means to buy back the IP, but the other party was unwilling. Fortunately, he retained the four Amazing Waves and other heroes.

In order to get the IP back, Zhang San had someone negotiate with the other party. This negotiation cannot be completed in a day or two; it requires some time.

At the negotiating table, the two sides were locked in a fierce standoff, neither willing to yield.

"This IP is of great significance to our company, and we will absolutely not give it up easily," the Colombian representative stated firmly.

"But you also have to consider our offer, which is already very sincere," the surprised representative argued.

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere became somewhat tense. At this point, the surprised representative said, "If you don't agree, we will blacken this IP, kill it off, and turn it into a thug, a hooligan, a petty criminal; do you want to see that outcome?"

After this negotiation, the two sides have not been in contact for the time being. Everyone needs to calm down. The final words of the representative of the Surprise were a desperate solution. However, the other side will also think about whether the Surprise will really do that. If they do, the other side will only lose someone else's IP, while they will really lose an IP. Moreover, this IP has a time limit. If they do not bid after the time limit, it will be taken back.

Later, Zhang San remotely directed the project over the phone and proposed a new plan: he suggested jointly developing the IP and creating a brand new film series.

"We can share resources and promote together, which will not only reduce risks but also bring greater benefits," Zhang San said.

After a moment's thought, the Colombian representative nodded slightly in agreement. The two sides had finally reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation, and would now proceed to discuss the specific details.

The two parties jointly established a company to operate this IP, with each party contributing 50% of the capital. This company, Sunshine Beach Film Company, was mainly used to develop films based on this IP.

As the shadow of the attacks gradually faded, the film industry, like all things dormant in winter, slowly began to recover. Cinemas that were once deserted gradually saw an audience returning.

As the movie screen lit up again, amidst the interplay of light and shadow, captivating stories unfolded once more before the audience. Immersed in the experience, viewers felt the joy, emotion, and reflection that the films evoked.

Inside the cinema, the audience's breathing and faint laughter mingled together, as if in silent response to the attack and a testament to the power of film.

After the release of "The Amazing Spider-Man," audiences flocked to cinemas like a tidal wave. The theaters were packed with people, bustling with excitement as they came to witness the spectacle of this superhero movie.

As soon as the film began, the audience was immediately captivated by the spectacular special effects and thrilling plot. When Spider-Man traversed freely among the skyscrapers of New York, the audience couldn't help but gasp in amazement; when he engaged in a fierce battle with evil forces, the audience held their breath in suspense; and when he successfully saved the world with his courage and wisdom, the audience responded with enthusiastic applause and cheers.

After the movie ended, audience members emerged from the theater with satisfied smiles, excitedly discussing the film's thrilling scenes and touching moments. Social media was instantly flooded with discussions about "The Amazing Spider-Man," with viewers enthusiastically sharing their viewing experiences and praising the film highly.

This marks the beginning of a recovery for cinema in North America.
