Everything is for money.

According to the current popularity, the schedule of "The Ghost Record" can last at least three months, but even if it gives way to subsequent movies, local theaters will continue to be released for a while. It will start in mid-November, and as of Christmas Eve, the box office of more than 60 million has been recorded. Alice simply calculated that if the money is divided by the theater chain and then removes some messy expenses, she should be able to earn about 40 million.

After all, as an "experimental movie that little girls pay out of their own pockets", DreamWorks itself has no capital injection at all. No matter how popular the box office is, it can only earn some fixed amount of publicity and operation fees from the box office according to industry regulations.

During this period, Lawrence found Alice's father, and he held the other party's hand with tears in his face. He said sincerely that if his daughter wanted to make any movie, she would definitely make him a half investor!

Otherwise, no matter how high the box office is, he will not have the share!

By the way, this is really a net profit of 40 million US dollars a month...

The promotional fee can be high or low, which is not included. With a shooting cost of 20,000 yuan, I made a profit of 20,000 times the first month of release. In this era when the Internet economy has not yet arrived, it seems that even stocks cannot be achieved?

As a result, the Lawrence family and the Wang family came together to discuss and unanimously decided to increase publicity efforts again.

The most important thing is that the shooting cost must be exposed, and it must be compared with the current box office results. According to Alice's words, the collective tendency and curiosity of the people are very terrible. When everyone hears that the cost of this movie is only 20,000, but there is such a result, even for this factor, they will definitely buy a ticket.

As soon as Alice came up with this idea, she immediately received warm praise from Lawrence. He even kept congratulating James on giving birth to such a business-minded eldest daughter, which made him so envious.

In fact, Alice just moved out the current situation of the mainland film market in the later stages... The worse the more it gets, the worse the more it becomes. People are stupid and money, and some people buy tickets just to watch how bad a bad movie is. This is all historical practice.

However, no matter how much the entire movie will be, that will be the next thing. After entering Alice's bank account for $40 million in the first month, the serious matter is finally about to begin.

By the way, why did this movie be made?

To raise funds.

Why raise funds?

In order to create a clothing brand, using the popularity of "The Man from the Atlantic" in mainland China, it pushed toad mirrors and bell-bottom pants to the mainland and made a lot of money.

The fundamental purpose cannot be forgotten.

Although for Alice's lofty ambitions in her mind, this purpose is just to lay the groundwork for the next purpose.

Regarding clothing brands, after more than a month of processing, Sophie had already registered the company. The nominal chairman was herself, and the real major shareholder was Alice. Of course, who said that someone is still young after all, so she can't hold any specific position.

As for the brand name, after consultation with Ashley, the whole family and the visiting Ashley, decided to intercept Oscar and Hannah's name, which is called "Oscar-Hannah" clothing.

"Jack Jones, Louis Vuitton, and George Armani, who was founded a few years ago, all named the founder himself. This is really boring, so let's just have a combination name, just like Rolls-Royce, wouldn't it be great?"

Ashley's original words are really a bit outrageous. After all, for a real fashion designer, naming a brand with her own name and then building it into a world-renowned rank is a noble honor. But seeing her look as if she abandoned it, Alice certainly had no reason to object, so the name of the new brand was decided like this.

"Jack Jones, Louis Vuitton, George Armani, and now Oscar Hannah, haha, they are all the same, they are almost the same, they feel good."

"But I really feel awkward..."

It is impossible for Oscar to say that his sister actually used her name as a clothing brand name, but she wanted him to kiss Alice happily like Hannah? Just kidding, that's something that can't be done even if she beat her to death, and her shame is amazing.

As for the specific registration location of the mainland branch, after a detailed discussion, everyone unanimously decided that it would be better to set up in Shanghai. Although the labor-intensive industry in the Pearl River Delta is developed, Alice is not a clothing processing industry after all, but a serious and high-end clothing design, so of course she should be registered in Shanghai.

"So, let's draw a list of going to China."

At this time, in the conference room registered in a separate building in western Los Angeles, all members of the new company were in a meeting.

The members are Nominal Chairman and Instrumental CEO Sophie, theoretical Vice President James, Alice, the essentially largest shareholder and real chairman, the second largest shareholder and chief designer Ashley, SAS group members who were friendly gifted a little bit of shares, and Oscar and Hannah, who came to enjoy the naming rights.

"Our whole family must go, and we also have to travel by the way. My mother is the company representative and legal counsel, and Ashley is the designer, so she must go..."

So, while the Americas Corporation is still just a bag, Alice has begun to lock her goal in a huge overseas market with a large amount of money obtained from "Ghost Records".

By the way, it seems like this kind of "domestic" company with "overseas" leather bags... a very popular film industry colleague in Tokyo is a typical example...

Alice suddenly thought.

"I said, boss, there is no need to consider things like lists going to China, right? Just go all out?"

The company's chief fashion designer, and theorized annual salary can reach tens of millions of dollars, the thirteen-year-old Ashley O'Leyle was holding his chin and slamming the table, saying, "After the "Ghost Record", you are basically a billionaire, but it's just eight people's air tickets and accommodation fees. You won't be able to pay it out, right?"

Xixi savored the fragrant milk tea and snorted: "The evil capitalists are reluctant to pay even the money for air tickets to their employees. Come on, sisters, let's seek power and usurp the throne now!"

Hannah sat at the end of the table and shouted loudly: "Good! Choose me as chairman, and I will reimburse everyone for air ticket money!"

Oscar hugged his arms with both hands, looked at his sister who looked like he had eaten "Platinum Rice Field 1984 Supreme Limited Edition", and joined in the fun and said, "If you choose me as the chairman, I will not only reimburse everyone for air tickets, but also for all the expenses during the entire journey!"

Hannah glared at her brother: "Oh~ You are so generous, then should you buy a panda puppet for everyone?"

Oscar looked at his sister sly: "Do you think everyone here is a ten-year-old girl like you? What's the matter like a mutton..."

"Sorry, I'm fifteen years old, and I like mutants too."

Suddenly, Wuya's words blurted out and immediately asked Oscar to eat a pot of "Platinum Rice Field 1984 Supreme Limited Edition", while Alice burst into laughter with energy as if she had eaten the "Boutique Jin Kela Popeye Xian Bean Edition".

So, the list of going to China was decided. All shareholders and employees of the bag and clothing company, two adults and a group of girls, rushed to the Los Angeles International Airport, carrying a male creature named Oscar, who had to accompany him for some reason, and flew over the Pacific Ocean in a mighty manner.

Time, Christmas just passed.

In the high-speed and huge Boeing 747 first-class cabin, elegant light music resounded melodiously around, neither noisy nor very clear. After a few hours of taking off, it was late at night and several girls were already in deep dreams, but Alice was still sitting in her chair, staring at the outside world that was crossing the time zone.

"What do you think?"

James, who returned from the bathroom, saw this scene and said softly.

Alice first made a reproachful expression at her father, pointed at Sissi who was sleeping on her thigh, and then said in a volume like a mosquito and flies: "It's just a daze, dad, you are. Since you got on the plane, you've been dazed and missed home?"

James did not speak, but looked out the window silently. It was just night time. He actually couldn't see any scenery, and could only see his reflection through the lights in the cabin.

"Yes, I miss home."

James patted his daughter's head and whispered: "Since your father was born, I have never had the chance to go back and see him."

Alice was silent, too.

She looked at the newspaper in her hand. Although the 12/26/1984 on the first date was in black, it seemed to be more dazzling than any colored characters.

"There will be more and more opportunities in the future. Next time, call grandparents as well."

Hearing Alice's words, James glanced at her slightly surprised and showed a warm smile.
