"Welcome to both of you, may I help you?" The sweet-looking blond girl at the front desk was dressed in business attire and asked with a slight bow to Zhang Dongcheng and the two.

"Wow!" Adaman's eyes widened slightly, a wretched smile appeared on his face, and he whispered to Zhang Dongcheng, "Hey, Smith, this chick is very good!"

Zhang Dongcheng rolled his eyes at him, and also lowered his voice: "We came here to deal with business. You'd better not make trouble for me!"

"OK! OK!" Adaman raised his hands and said solemnly: "Okay, the business is important!"

"Hello! I have some economic and financial matters that I would like to consult. Can you introduce me to a lawyer who specializes in this field?"

Although Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman commented on the blond girl in front of her just now, they even whispered, which seemed very impolite. But the girl never showed any dissatisfaction from the beginning to the end, and kept a formulaic smile all the time.

"Of course!" The blond girl quickly brought a stack of profiles of memys lawyers in the economic and financial field. Put it in front of Zhang Dongcheng, and said: "Sir, these are the materials of our Memys lawyers who focus on the economic and financial field. You can read it first, and then decide which lawyer to choose to serve you!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded, lowered his head and began to look at the documents in his hands. The blond girl also thoughtfully brought a glass of warm water for the two of them.

The profile sent by the blond girl contained information about more than a dozen lawyers. The above introductions are very general, about age and education, and those commissions accepted, and more information is rarely mentioned because it involves the principle of confidentiality for the clients we serve.

After flipping through many pages in a row, a one-inch bareheaded photo of a yellow man suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Huh?" Zhang Dongcheng was a little curious, because the man in this photo was filled in the information as Chinese, and his name was Gibran. His English name is Gibran. If it is translated, it is still Gibran!

The age is only twenty-six years old. in Law and Economics from Vanderbilt University. And the guy's resume says he's served clients several times. Obviously not a novice!

Having experience and education, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help being interested in this guy named Gibran Ji.

"Miss, is Mr. Gibran convenient now?" Zhang Dongcheng pointed to the photo of Gibran without a hat and asked the blonde girl.

"Of course!" The blond girl said with a sweet smile, "Sir, do you plan to meet lawyer Gibran?"

"Yes! I think I need to talk to Mr. Gibran!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded. This guy named Gibran is also of Chinese descent.

Everyone is an overseas wanderer, and they can help if they can. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Dongcheng is interested in him.

"Please wait a moment, I will contact lawyer Gibran now!" After the blonde girl left, she went to the front desk and made a call. After a while, he came over again. Said: "Sir, lawyer Gibran is just free now, he is waiting for you at office 512 on the fifth floor. You can take the elevator up by yourself!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Dongcheng thanked him, and then gave the girl with a good service attitude a hundred dollar bill as a tip. Then he greeted Adaman and walked towards the elevator.

On the fifth floor, in front of Office No. 512, Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman arranged their clothes and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" There was a refined but energetic voice from inside the door.

After pushing the door and entering, Zhang Dongcheng saw the lawyer in the photo he had just seen downstairs—Gibran.

Photos are somewhat different from real people after all. Although Gibran in front of him also has black hair and yellow skin, he has a pair of amber eyes. And the bridge of the nose is higher than that of normal yellow people. Obviously a mixed race.

"Hello, Mr. Gibran!" Zhang Dongcheng stepped forward quickly, shook hands with Gibran, and said, "I am Smith. Smith Zhang, you can directly call me Smith!"

"Oh!" Gibran smiled brightly and said, "I know you. You are the director who filmed the mummy and turned the whole Halloween party into a mummy carnival!"

"I'm very honored!" Zhang Dongcheng also smiled, and then sat on the seat under Gibran's greeting.

"I don't know if there is anything that can serve Director Smith?" Gibran feels very good, with a very cheerful and sunny temperament, which makes people want to believe him.

Zhang Dongchen pondered for a while, and told Gibran his idea of ​​the shareholding film system.

"What I want is that movies are no longer the playthings of big groups and big capitalists. Anyone, or investors, can participate, accumulate little to make big, common development, and reasonable dividends." After Zhang Dongcheng introduced Seriously concluded.

"Wow!" Gibran exclaimed, full of praise: "Mr. Smith, you are a very good idea. Really! I think it may change the rules of the film industry!"

"That's right!" Zhang Dongcheng has no modesty. Once his shareholding film system succeeds, it will indeed overturn the existing rules of the film and television industry. This is a fact, and there is nothing to be modest about. "But Mr. Gibran, this plan involves financing. I'm not very clear about financial laws and regulations. I don't know if this plan will be suspected of illegal financing?"

When it comes to professional topics, Gibran immediately becomes serious. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Mr. Smith, you mentioned just now that only movies exist as a shareholding system, right?"

"That's right!" Zhang Dongcheng emphasized again, saying: "The shareholding film system, as the name suggests, is to divide the film I want to shoot into several shares, which can be purchased by anyone at will. After the release, I will give them 100% 50% in return! But the company is still my own!"

"Before that, please allow me to ask you one more question!" Gibran leaned his body, and said seriously: "Who owns the copyright of the stock film?"

This question stunned Zhang Dongcheng. Indeed, what I had considered before was a bit taken for granted. A share is a share because of the ownership it represents.

But Zhang Dongcheng had never considered this before. Fortunately, I found a lawyer to ask, otherwise, I will be in big trouble in the future!

Because once a certain movie is going to have a sequel, those previous shareholders can use this as an excuse to ask Zhang Dongcheng to give him a reasonable profit without paying anything!

"If! I mean, if I want the copyright of the movie to belong to my company, how should I do it?" Zhang Dongcheng asked solemnly.

"Oh! Sorry!" Gibran shrugged and said: "Then I have to tell you with regret, Mr. Smith, what you said is not a share movie! Because those shareholders did not get the ownership of the movie! If If you do this in the name of shareholding movies, it will eventually cause equity disputes, and when the time comes to file a lawsuit, you will lose 100%!"

Zhang Dongcheng's face darkened. The shareholding movie is a plan he has planned for a long time, and failure is absolutely not allowed.

Seeing that Zhang Dongcheng was silent, Gibran took a sip of the freshly brewed coffee, with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Smith, if you still want to do this, I think I should be able to give you a suggestion!"

Zhang Dongcheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately realized that in front of him was a doctor of law and finance. Since I have no choice, I might as well just ask him.

"Mr. Gibran, what is your suggestion?" Zhang Dongcheng asked with great interest.

"Fund!" Gibran raised a finger and said, "Mr. Smith, although the various conditions you put forward do not meet the requirements for shares. But if it is issued in the name of a fund, then there will be no problem at all!"

"This won't constitute any crime of illegal fundraising, right?" Zhang Dongcheng didn't want to be arrested for illegal fundraising while his film was being filmed.

Gibran shook his head and smiled, and said, "Of course not. You just need to go through the legal procedures, and then everything will be fine. Under the existing laws and regulations, your idea is completely achievable. And it is reasonable. legitimate!"

"That's good!" Zhang Dongcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it works. Now he was afraid that his plan would not be feasible at all, and that would be a tragedy. "Mr. Gibran, if possible, I would like to entrust you to make a legally binding article for me."

"Of course! This is my job!" Gibran agreed without hesitation.

Next, Gibran and Zhang Dongcheng discussed the details of the fund. Gibran was paid according to the time of the conversation, and then he left the Memys Law Firm with Adaman.

Gibran is indeed an excellent lawyer with great ideas and solid professional knowledge. Under Zhang Dongcheng’s advanced consciousness, he thought of a solution in an instant. The short-term fund method he proposed is very close to the one that emerged in 2012. Short-term wealth management funds are innovative fund products. It can be said to be a variant of this short-term wealth management fund.

After leaving the building of the law firm, Adaman complained unwillingly, and said: "Oh! ****! It is too easy to earn money as a lawyer, and you can get paid just by chatting. If I had known I won't study any **** film and television. I will also study law and become a lawyer!"

Zhang Dongcheng was in a relaxed mood, with a smile on his face. Smiling and scolding Adaman: "After the fact! What's the use of you talking about this now?"

"Okay!" Adaman shrugged. This guy is very heartless, and his personality is completely a textbook-like optimist. Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh! "Smith, what are we doing this afternoon?"
