Chapter 265: Picking the English Rose
This statement may be bragging for others, but for Zhang Junfeng, a powerful investment expert, it is really possible! After all, even Nacho Morgan recognizes Zhang Junfeng's strength and means!
If she could join the Big Eight film studios with the support of the major shareholders, then when there are big-budget movies and potential works directed by big directors in the future, wouldn't she be able to get the moon first and become a top candidate for the female lead? (Note: The Big Eight Hollywood film studios are the eight major film studios in Hollywood, including: Warner Bros. (later acquired by AT&T), MGM (later acquired by Amazon), Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures (later acquired by Sony), Universal Pictures, United Artists, 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Fox), and Walt Disney)
When Catherine Zeta-Jones thought of this, she was almost numb. Her childhood dream could be realized so soon. She seemed very excited! As the dinner was over, when Zhang Junfeng invited her to experience the beautiful night view of New York, Catherine Zeta-Jones, with a blush on her face, readily agreed.
…
Then they came to the top-floor VIP luxury suite at the Four Seasons Hotel where Zhang Junfeng had stayed before and enjoyed the wonderful night view.
It's just that the two of them started by looking up at the stars and talking about their beautiful dreams. It's just that when they looked back at each other tacitly, Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was a little moved, kissed him actively.
Zhang Junfeng naturally had no intention of pushing the beautiful woman away due to her enthusiasm, and soon the two of them hugged each other for a while.
Witnessed by the romantic starry sky, the two of them exchanged friendly words for dozens of minutes, and only stopped when they were exhausted...
The next morning, Zhang Junfeng, who was only slightly tipsy, quickly woke up and was washing up in his pajamas.
At this moment, a pair of fair jade arms came up from behind his waist. Feeling the amazing squeeze from his back, Zhang Junfeng soon realized that the person behind him was the "English Rose" he had picked last night! However, unlike her cold temperament on the surface, this beautiful woman with both Eastern and Western beauty was particularly enthusiastic and clingy in front of him.
"...Why are you awake so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Zhang Junfeng put down the towel, turned around and looked at Catherine Zeta-Jones, asking with a smile.
"...It just feels a little unreal. We've only known each other for less than two days, and we already have such a close relationship..." Catherine Zeta-Jones, who had completely calmed down from her previous impulsive state, couldn't help but feel a little worried at this moment.
If Zhang Junfeng didn't admit it afterwards, wouldn't she be "given away for nothing"? This was not the result she wanted!
Zhang Junfeng gently held the other person's chin and looked at him affectionately. "Since we have only known each other for a short time, why don't you stay here with me for a few days? As for the entertainment company you signed with, I will ask someone to help you terminate the contract..."
"I will have my subordinates open a separate entertainment company with an investment of 50 million US dollars. I will first place your artist contract in this company and give you a fixed salary of 3 million US dollars per year. In addition, I will split the remuneration for film and television dramas, advertising endorsements, photo albums, etc. in a 40% to 60% split. When I later acquire shares in 20th Century Fox Film Corporation, I will introduce you there to be the heroine of a big movie..."
After hearing Zhang Junfeng's reiteration of his previous promise, she finally relaxed. Especially the fixed salary of 3 million US dollars, which can be said to directly crush more than 80% to 90% of Hollywood stars!
After all, these Hollywood entertainment companies are very shrewd. If the signed stars and artists are not capable enough to star in big productions, their annual salary may not even be 500,000 US dollars!
For those popular first-line stars who get the leading male and female roles, major supporting roles in big movies and big productions, or commercial endorsements from high-end brands, their remuneration will increase explosively, easily reaching hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Of course, there are sometimes additional remunerations of up to millions of dollars!
However, all of these, without exception, need to share a certain percentage of the profits with their contracted companies. When calculated, the remuneration for the other party's hard work for a year may not be as high as her fixed salary!
…
Looking at Catherine Zeta-Jones's delighted expression, Zhang Junfeng also had his own little plans in mind.
The reason why he thought of setting up a separate entertainment company to sign and place Catherine Zeta-Jones was naturally because he did not want this woman to be targeted by other people.
As for the fixed salary of 3 million US dollars per year, it was not a big problem for Zhang Junfeng at all! After all, even if a company with 50 million US dollars only took out 40 million US dollars to operate with Zhang Junfeng's investment account, it would not be a big problem to make 15-20% in a year! In other words, Zhang Junfeng used the investment profit of this entertainment company to directly support this beautiful "English Rose" in disguise, and the other party was even quite satisfied with his generosity. It was simply killing two birds with one stone!
…
After spending some time with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Zhang Junfeng changed his clothes and went back to his original room.
After some thought, Zhang Junfeng called Mugur Hosking and asked him to help contact and make an appointment with Apple. He planned to meet the legendary figure (Steve Jobs) who created Apple and brought it to the altar.
For Zhang Junfeng, this request was just a piece of cake for Mugur Hosking. Moreover, Apple's stock price has greatly improved at this stage, thanks to the return of the founder Steve Jobs and the adjustment of strategy.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The company's market value has gradually risen from the previous lowest point of 300 million US dollars, and now it has reached more than 500 million US dollars, which makes Mugur Hosking admire Zhang Junfeng's foresight! (Note: Apple's stock price rose in part because of the conflict and dispute between Microsoft and Apple that lasted for several years. In the end, Microsoft paid 150 million US dollars and invested half of the amount to reach a settlement.) Before this, Apple, which had been on a downward trend, was almost not favored by anyone and was criticized and disliked. Only Zhang Junfeng, a young investor, had a keen eye and invested in Apple, and the returns were quite gratifying.
