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

"You made that much money last year?"

Zhang San picked up last year's account book and started looking at it. It showed the income from last year to Christmas. He checked the account book and saw the income and expenditure of two companies, Tokyo Very Hot and Yitiao Word, last year.

In the past six months, more than 300 films were shot. Yes, more than 300 films that were warned by the Buddha. The cost was 200 million yen, which included the cost of filming equipment, location fees, their expenses, and the cost of screenwriters, etc.

The screenwriting fees here, named by Zhang San as "Fobo Le Films," require screenwriters. Whatever series, such as the tram series, the stalking (called "tailing" in Japan), the office lady series, the campus series, the night raid series, all need people to write the plots, okay!

We can't just jump straight into real guns and ammunition; that would be too low-class.

During the phone call, Zhang San said, "We must have style, we must have principles, and we must have integrity..."

These 300-plus films shot on location in the island nation naturally saved the cost of censoring them in Taiwan, which saved a considerable amount of money.

Movies filmed by Japanese companies, whether they are censored or not, are leaked from censorship companies; of course, it cannot be ruled out that those companies leak them to save money.

In short, don't expect a film company like this to have any moral bottom line; at least, Zhang San says he doesn't either!

Everything revolves around money; the goal is to make a fortune!

That's Zhang San's life motto: Reborn, he wants to make money, enjoy life, and, moreover, live a long and carefree life!

As for why the film was shot in Japan and not in Sacred Valley?

Compared to the more nuanced and refined portrayals of island nations, North American productions are quite crude, starting with intense gunfire and straightforward, black and white color schemes, and various other combinations, which quickly leads to aesthetic fatigue.

Moreover, it's too expensive here. Hiring one person here could cost as much as making a movie in Japan. So, the most cost-effective place is Japan. Of course, it could get even cheaper in the future.

How much revenue did over 300 films bring to Tokyo's hottest topic? Three hundred million dollars, that's right, three hundred million dollars, and that number is still increasing.

After deducting all costs, three hundred million US dollars is quite an astonishing sum.

Zhang San felt that Allen was a talented person, making at least three movies a year; and in a place like Japan where this was very popular.

Zhang San felt that his worldview had been reshaped. He thought, "Three hundred movies in half a year, six hundred in a year, three thousand in five years. Of course, at that time, we shouldn't be using two brands and one or two crews to shoot. We should have ten crews and ten brands to shoot on a large scale."

When internet bandwidth increases... won't our film library have more movies than others? And won't we be able to bring in people from Europe to film? At that time... I really can't imagine whether we will reshape the moral bottom line of Europeans and Americans?

Based on the profit sharing, Allen, Jessica, and Helen are already well-off multi-millionaires, and I'll just have to make do with being a billionaire.

Could three people really handle the distribution just by going to Tokyo? That's impossible. It's Universal's office there; they have the channels. Even though Universal has the channels, they can't distribute something like this themselves. They're just the middlemen; the rest... they're still negotiating, just under a different guise: agents.

It would be too awful to talk about this; otherwise, why would all those Fortune 500 companies in the world go to such lengths to invest in a company like this?

Where do those adult-oriented, critically oriented movies on some North American pay channels come from? Aren't they all produced by Saint Oliver?

I heard the income is very high, some even earning as much as those in movies.

Zhang San felt really low, taking such a big risk, and felt that he could earn more money by making movies; but then he thought that he was already in the industry, and felt that there was potential.

He was a little tipsy during lunch; the servants came to work after Christmas, and the chef prepared a very lavish lunch.

"What's wrong with him?"

After Chai Xiaofen became familiar with the three men, she grew bolder. This morning, Zhang San stayed in the study all morning and no one knew what he was doing.

"He probably took the ledgers; he might have made a bit too much money, and he got carried away."

Allen's explanation did not clear up her doubts; she had also been involved in some of Zhang San's businesses, such as MCA, which was said to have been acquired for over six billion US dollars.

And I heard that Zhang San is also a super major shareholder of some company, which is a listed company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.

"a lot of!?"

Chai Xiaofen suddenly asked in a very emotional voice, which made the three people who heard her nod in agreement. Indeed, there was a lot to ask.

That's true. If you didn't have a lot of money, why would you act like a fool?

Zhang San quickly came to his senses. Damn, it's only three hundred million US dollars. If he had one or two billion US dollars now, what would happen? Are you crazy?

"Let's not talk about these things while we're eating; it's a small amount of money."

After the meal, Zhang San gathered them together and began to make arrangements for 1991. He said, "This business is simple, safe, green, and environmentally friendly, and it is very beneficial to human development. I have decided to expand the scale. Next year, we will strive to shoot a thousand films, which will also increase our strength."

"I will bring in more behind-the-scenes staff from North America and divide them into more teams, so that we can expand our film library by casting a wide net."

Zhang San's idea was simple and straightforward: since the future demand was so great, he naturally wanted to expand and strengthen the business to benefit the local community.

"Is he crazy? Why is he going to expand the filming?"

Jessica was a little skeptical, then asked the two people next to her; initially, she had refused to make this kind of movie, but she found that many people loved watching it, especially people from the island nation.

Seeing the increased wealth, Jessica's conviction wavered, and she began to devote herself to filming, resulting in a significant increase in both the quantity and quality of her work.

As for Helen, she didn't care at all. As long as the law didn't prohibit it, she thought it was fine. She didn't feel burdened or pretentious. In short, she just wanted to film.

Unlike Allen's talent and dedication, and Jessica's journey from hesitation and wavering to perseverance, Helen simply treated it as a job, without much internal conflict.

"We need to purchase more advanced filming equipment to ensure that the video quality is clearer; in the future, competition in this industry will become more and more intense, and we must stay ahead of others in order to achieve long-term success."

In North America, Blockbuster has already achieved an absolute dominant position; in Zhang San's view, this has formed a monopoly, and newcomers can only get scraps.

However, it was also completely defeated by the emerging Naif, which shows that technology is constantly being updated, and to maintain a leading position, one must also invest in it.
