The NASDAQ can be described as crazy, and even the Dow Jones index is also soaring, but anyone who is sane can see that the situation is not normal.

Savvy people like Scott, who are still investing in the stock market, can't they see the problem?

I'm afraid that many people know that this bubble is blowing bigger and bigger, but they all hold the idea that someone will definitely come to pick up the plate and make a fortune before the bubble bursts.

Frankly, if it weren't for the advantage of foresight, Ronan would hardly say what choice he would have made.

Fortunately, he didn't touch such a thing as stocks in his previous life, and he still has self-control.

Ronan also keeps reminding himself that it's okay to play with financial drugs once in a while, but you must not get addicted.

The day after visiting Scott's house, Ronan approached Judith and went through the repayment procedures for a $3 million personal loan, which he borrowed in his own name after the first Abu Dhabi execution, and invested it in the stock market, because this was the earliest money to enter the market, and after repaying the loan, nearly $10 million was left in the proceeds of the $3 million.

Other investments are made in the name of the company, and the income from the stock market has also been transferred to the account of Relativity, Ronan currently fully controls Relativity Entertainment, and it only takes a few legal procedures for Mary to withdraw funds, which is not a hassle.

Ronan is waiting for the stock market to crash, waiting for the Nasdaq to fall to a certain level, and then buying some stocks of companies that have developed well later, and then he can hold them for a long time.

Even if there is a problem with Relativity Entertainment in the future, he can be invincible personally, at least he has no problem being a rich man.

Wealth is very important to anyone.

Not to mention commercial countries like the United States, the famous 24-character proverb on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, wealth and strength rank first!

Having said that, how can you be strong if you are not rich? If you are not strong, how can you talk about the subsequent logging fatigue and so on?

Think about it, if Leonardo DiCaprio is not rich, can he treat Victoria's Secret Angel as a harem group?

The stock market rose more and more crazy, and Ronan vaguely reminded Scott again, but Scott didn't pay attention to it at all, there was nothing he could do about this kind of thing, and no matter how loud the voice was, he couldn't wake up the person who was pretending to be asleep.

Ronan couldn't have made a phone call every day to remind others to flee the stock market, and he put it aside, after all, there was still a lot of work to be done.

Embassy Pictures has already started licensing talks with several companies with overseas distribution capabilities to sell the overseas rights to "Ace Agent" and "Here Comes the Grim Reaper."

Robert Lee and Danny Donald left Los Angeles to tour the preparation of their offices in Australia.

Ronan participated in several meetings of the finance department, and Mary, who was promoted to CFO of Relativity Entertainment, was also leading the process of refining the accounts of the two films.

"Ace Agent" follows the law and industry rules in full abides, and tries not to give the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority a chance to pick on it.

Another film, "The Grim Reaper", is completely different.

Ronan is not ready to go to Abu Dhabi again to raise money, and the biggest profit from this lucrative film is, of course, owned by his side.

In the face of the benefits of the Abu Dhabi tycoons, not only Ronan and Mary, but also the company's financial staff are very bold.

In the two years since he came to Los Angeles, Ronan can be said to have experienced first-hand that Americans are accustomed to taking themselves very seriously, and at the same time not taking other countries very seriously.

At the same time, Andrew agreed with James Wong's agent, and Ronan signed a directing contract with James Wong on behalf of Shahai Entertainment for Project Human Removal 2.

There is only one film director's contract, and the sequel to "Death is Coming" can't be negotiated, and Edward and James Wong insist on talking about it after completing "Human Erasure Project 2".

James Wong, who directed two films in a row and achieved great success, is naturally much more confident than Paul Greengrass.

In the face of a worthy and successful director, Ronan can't be too pressed, and he has to think about the future cooperation, Andrew and Edward talked about the same salary, so they nodded and agreed.

James Wong's new film salary is divided into two parts, the basic salary is $2 million, and the net profit in the later stage is divided into five percent.

The total budget of "Human Removal Project 2" is only $6 million, and James Huang's basic salary alone accounts for one-third of the budget, which also means that actors can only find non-star actors.

With James Wong signing a directing contract and the project officially launched, Tom Cruise was very active and immediately asked his agent to negotiate a $1.5 million investment with Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan is very trustworthy, and it is impossible to go back.

And his approach to keeping his word also won the favor of Tom Cruise, who took the initiative to invite him to participate in the internal preview of "Mission Impossible 2".

Each "Mission Impossible" has its own characteristics, and this one is no exception, John Wu did not follow the filming method of the first part, whether it is the gunfight scene or the drag racing scene, it has a distinct personal style.

But I have to say that the same old thing has been used on Little Pony, on John Travolta, on Nicolas Cage, and now on Tom Cruise, and for someone like Ronan who has watched countless Wu-style shootout movies, there really isn't anything new about it.

How can there be no heroes to save beauty? How can there be no fiery shootouts? How can there be no slow motion? By the way, there are pigeons......

For a moment, Ronan felt like he wasn't looking at Tom Cruise, but Pony.

No way, preconceived, too impressive, and pigeons fly and fly.

"Changing Face" is really Wu Baige's pinnacle in Hollywood, and this "Mission Impossible 2" is a little worse.

Perhaps also preconceived, Tom Cruise's performance in this film, Ronan always felt like it was not as good as Nicolas Cage and John Travolta.

Thinking about the picture of "Changing Face", Cage has a very melancholy face, as if many people owe him money, and they are all the kind that they owe and don't pay back, and Travolta has a spring breeze on his face, as if he owes Cage a lot of money and just doesn't pay it back.

"What do you think?"

After the preview screening, Tom Cruise asked Ronan, "You have a good eye, help me take a look." ”

Ronan naturally said good things: "It's very exciting, the action design is very distinctive, and Ethan Hanter is charismatic." Tom, with your appeal, this film is sure to be a big hit. ”

Tom Cruise smiled and said, "Introduce a few people to you." ”

He dragged Ronan to a group of executives from Paramount Pictures, the producer and distributor, and introduced Ronan one by one.

"You're Ronan Anderson?" Shirley Lansing looked at Ronan in surprise: "Younger than I thought, you're the youngest of Hollywood's billionaire box office producers." ”

Ronan recognized this as the CEO of Paramount Pictures, and modestly said, "It's much worse than Ms. Lansing." ”

This is not an exaggeration, Shirley Lansing is one of the most successful women in Hollywood, and later the annual "Hollywood Women's Rights List" set up a special "Shirley Lansing Leadership Award" named after her.

Ronan chatted with Shirley Lansing for a while, and it was not difficult to find out between the words that Shirley Lansing admired Tom Cruise very much, and after she stepped down, Tom Cruise's relationship with Paramount took a sharp turn for the worse, and even fell out publicly for a time.

Subsequently, Ronan left with Tom Cruise, accepted Tom Cruise's invitation, and got into the same car with him, but he regretted it a little as soon as the car started, because Tom Cruise answered the phone and got into an argument with someone, judging by the tone, the person on the other side of the phone was obviously Nicole Kidman.

"I'm sorry. Tom Cruise hung up, and his previous good mood was gone: "Makes you laugh." ”

Ronan didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.

Tom Cruise suddenly said, "Marriage is horrible. ”

Ronan looked at him curiously, Tom Cruise seemed to be depressed for a long time, and said: "In the end, no matter how deep the love is at the beginning, two people can only hurt each other. ”

Ronan thought for a moment and continued, "I'm an unmarried. ”

Tom Cruise nodded: "It will save a lot of trouble in the future." He let out a long sigh and pinched his eyebrows vigorously: "Ronan, if only I could be as open-minded as you." ”

Seeing that Tom Cruise didn't seem to mind talking to him about these things, Ronan asked tentatively, "Between you and Nicole?"

Tom Cruise said directly: "Can't reconcile. ”

Ronan doesn't intend to express an opinion on other people's family matters: "I haven't experienced marriage, so I don't know much about it. ”

Think about the divorce case in her previous life, Nicole Kidman broke out with Oscar-level acting skills and created the image of a victim, and later after becoming an ex-wife, her career did not go well within a few years, dragging Tom Cruise out from time to time to whip the corpse, and words such as what is the favorite of your life come out in endlessly, attracting attention and attention everywhere.

I really don't know how her second husband feels.

Marriage and the like are really the scariest! It's not hard for Ronan to conclude this from Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

Especially for the rich, it is absolutely prudent to get married.

Although property notarization can be done before marriage, what about the property during the marriage? marriage and divorce, half of the property floated away, and alimony, and then dragged out by his ex-wife like Tom Cruise and whipped the corpse, what is the favorite of life, what will never be forgotten, it feels terrible to think about.

Also, the speed at which Hollywood women change men is not slower than that of men changing women, in case you meet a superb ex-wife, all kinds of waves, it is not terrible to describe.

Think of Nicole Kidman, think of Katie Helms, Ronan is becoming more and more determined that Tom Cruise must be used as a negative lesson.

Just entering February, Ronan received a call from someone from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority who wanted to talk to him.
