Hong Kong was in turmoil, while Zhang San was far from the eye of the storm, enjoying the North American lifestyle. Only when things calmed down in Hong Kong did he finally come back to his senses from his comfortable life.

Recently, he felt that the princess's big mouth was not without reason. Not only did she speak without restraint, but she was also eloquent, leaving him speechless and prompting him to give her a thumbs up.

In recent years, Tessny's limelight has been gradually stolen by Universal Entertainment. The already sluggish animation division was utterly defeated by Universal Entertainment. When Universal Entertainment's first animated film, "Kimba the White Lion," rose to prominence, it foreshadowed Tessny's decline in this area.

When Leigh's computer animations rose to prominence, no one in Hollywood could rival them. Of course, Blue Sky Animation Studios later emerged, which also launched his glorious career. However, Slime Pictures held 75% of Blue Sky Animation's shares. No matter how glorious Blue Sky Animation became, only Leigh felt a sense of urgency, but Zhang San was happy to see it happen.

On the other hand, News Corporation's New Century Animation Studio was dissolved and was acquired by Srui Pictures to form Srui Pictures' animation division.

After all, Sirui Pictures is now well-equipped and doesn't need that little bit of money to invest.

However, something has happened that has shocked many people: Baishi Video Rental and Sales Company has closed many stores due to severe losses and is now heading rapidly toward bankruptcy.

It turns out that with the support of Zhang San, Naifei has achieved great success, boasting a library of over 20,000 movies and 200,000 global TV series. Its content is incredibly rich. Moreover, a monthly membership fee of $29.90 allows members to watch three movies for free, which has increased Naifei's membership to ten million.

By now, Naif has achieved a balance between income and expenditure. This is not only related to Baishida's gradual withdrawal from the market, but also to the fact that most people have accepted Naif's model. Naif has warehouses in various states, which is thanks to Zhang San. He has waste paper recycling business in various states, so naturally he has built many warehouses in various places. With a little modification, adding a warehouse next to those waste paper recycling warehouses is not a big deal. Therefore, the logistics network quickly covered the entire America.

The original delivery cycle of videos, which used to take at least a week or even half a month, has been shortened to three days, and in some places, even the same day. This has solved the time problem and made Baishida less and less competitive.

However, these warehouses did not belong to Naifei; they were rented by Naifei, and the rent naturally went to Zhang San.

Zhang San's family entertainment division has a vast film library of over 10,000 titles. Combined with the global entertainment film library, the total exceeds 20,000 titles, and these libraries are still growing.

Stephen Home Entertainment has also acquired a large number of film rights and catalogs from Asia, which is one of the reasons for its rapid expansion, and it continues to expand. The revenue share from Nafi also offsets the cost of acquiring the catalogs.

Naifei is currently in talks with Sirui Pictures to co-develop its own series and to acquire the adaptation rights to many films from the UK.

In the summer of 2003, Zhang San's movie "The Potter" was also about to be released. This movie about a little magic apprentice was filmed in several parts in one go. It was basically going to be filmed as a TV series, which surprised the world. For this reason, he also built a magic city in London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and North America at the same time.

In Shanghai, many people are now regretting their decision, especially those who didn't buy a house; they are deeply regretting it.

The construction speed of the global film studios is incredibly fast, entirely due to the sheer amount of money invested. Moreover, China's reputation as an infrastructure powerhouse is well-deserved. The construction teams, coupled with advanced engineering machinery, have made the progress phenomenal, prompting the supervisors from the North American supervision company to exclaim "OMG!" After several rigorous inspections, they concluded, "VERY GOOD! VERY GOOD!"

Many people are anxious as they watch the Shanghai Global Cinema gradually take shape. The surrounding property prices have already risen to over 8,000 yuan per square meter, which is extremely high. The rent for shops is even higher, but they haven't been released yet.

The Global Cinema in Shanghai has eight entrances. In addition to the four entrances in the east, west, south, and north, there are also the southeast entrance, north entrance, southwest entrance, and northwest entrance. It can be said that this is the Global Cinema with the most entrances in the world. Of course, all eight entrances are open on holidays, while only the four entrances in the east, west, south, and north are open on other days.

Someone posted photos of the Shanghai Global Cinema online and commented: "This is the first Hollywood film company to adapt to local customs. I've seen their promotional posters, and they incorporate a lot of mainland elements, which are very appealing."

Some people also commented: The movie adapted from the novel by the potter will also be released next summer, and the Shanghai Global Cinema will also release it simultaneously with other cinemas around the world. It is not slower than other cinemas just because it is in mainland China.

"Hey upstairs, have you noticed that not only are the entertainment options synchronized, but the ticket prices are too?"

"Haha... Wow, this has been discovered. But considering the business tax of entertainment venues, even if it's a foreign-owned enterprise, the tax rate is still very high. So, it's actually normal if you calculate it this way."

"The person upstairs is right. Be careful, they might check your water meter."

"I heard that the subway will also be built there next year, and that it will be the terminal station. It has been specially named the Film City Station."

"Yes, and many bus stops have been built there, and the road has been extended there as well. I heard that the developers nearby have also built a park, a school, a hospital, a pharmacy, as well as KFC, STAR, and a commercial street. I heard that there are more projects there than in downtown Shanghai."

"There were quite a few developers there. I heard that the land was bought up by several Hong Kong real estate companies at the time."

"There's a hotel called 'The Big Ship' near the Universal Studios Hong Kong, which was used for filming 'The Big Ship.' Is there one here?"

"Yes, I'm from Shanghai. I went to see it specifically. There's a very long and very tall building there. Although it was blocked by scaffolding, its size is the same as the one I saw at the Hong Kong Global Studios. It should be the Big Ship Hotel."

"Wow, I definitely have to stay there for one night, and bring my girlfriend."

"Hehe... Do you know the price?"

"A standard room costs 998 RMB per night, while a Hong Kong-style room costs 1098 HKD; then it goes up to 1998 HKD, 2998 HKD, and then jumps straight to the top floor for an unbeatable romantic panoramic room at 19998 RMB per night."

"Don't underestimate the mainland, okay? There's a group of people who have become rich and don't care about this little bit of money at all."

The more prestigious a global film studio is, the more stable the property prices nearby become; this also reflects the fact that Zhang San's rented villa in Shanghai has also seen its value rise along with the economic development of Shanghai.
