Chapter 180: Time Magazine Report (2)

"King Rothschild, the darling of God, who grew up under the gaze of almost all of Hollywood, is still growing today. However, while he shows extraordinary artistic talent and attainments, he also shows a mysterious side. ”

"As we all know, director William has never had any independent interviews, maverick, mysterious, all of which seem to have become his calling card, but people often ignore his business talent while affirming his artistic talent, and even today, his assets are still a fog. ”

"How did his business journey go?"

In 1975, due to William's strong request, the foundation under his name successively spent huge sums of money to acquire Lucasfilm, Industrial Light & Magic and Xiangjiang Golden Princess Cinemas, and then invested $150 million in Fox Films, making himself the control of this old film company. ”

"William's initial series of investments was really far-sighted, not to mention the previous ones, let's look at some of the projects he acquired after the nineties, and now the development of these acquired companies will be clear!"

"Blizzard Entertainment's predecessor was called Silicon & Nerve Bonds, and when William bought it, it had only a dozen employees, but after he injected capital, the renamed game development company showed extraordinary vitality, and they got the license to William's "Warcraft" series of stories, and used it as a setting to develop "Warcraft" In less than a year, this real-time strategy game sold more than 1.5 million units worldwide, which made the entire game industry look at it, and William's original investment was greatly rewarded! It is reported that Microsoft once offered him $100 million to buy Blizzard Entertainment, but he refused. ”

"We want to focus on Pixar Studios, this animation studio in Richmond, California may be a little unfamiliar to everyone, but many people must have seen "Toy Story" released this summer, which is a fully computer 3D animated film adapted from a story of the same name in "William's Short Story Collection", and its production company is Pixar!"

"Now the North American box office of "Toy Story" is rushing towards $250 million, and it is inevitable to win the top of the North American box office charts in 94, just after the first week of the movie's release, Pixar was officially launched, and in just a few days, its stock price rose rapidly from $22 at the opening to $55, and it is still rising, creating another myth in the IT world!"

"In 1983, William spent $20 million when he bought Pixar from George Lucas, which was ridiculed by many people, but now the $20 million has brought William a net worth of more than $1 billion, not only adding a strong sum to his capital, but even his women have become billionaires with not too many shares in their hands!"

"Even though the newly acquired Blue Sky Studios can barely break even, these three investment projects have been a huge success!"

"Of course, a lot of people are still waiting to see director William fall on his heels, waiting to see the jokes about his failed investment. ”

"Because at the beginning of this year, he invested a considerable amount of money, and with David Ferro and Jerry Young, two nobodies, established an Internet company called Yahoo, and became the largest shareholder, but the company's turnover is now only a pitiful $1.3 million, and the actual loss is $630,000......

"There is also the huge "Titanic" under construction, director William invested 200 million US dollars in advance, and Disney, United America and Twentieth Century Fox opened a huge production cost of 300 million US dollars.

"What's more, recently, director William actually began to recruit screenwriters on a large scale, and set up a screenwriting team for Mr. William himself, wanting to turn his endless ideas and ideas into qualified scripts, and there is media sarcasm that William Rothschild King will be completely reduced to a Hollywood assembly line. ”

"But is that really the case? We interviewed James Cameron, who was working with William again, and he said, 'We were strict with the details of Titanic, and the long preparation must have made for a perfect movie!'"

"James Cameron is so confident, like all the people who work with King William Rothschild. ”

"'They're right, William isn't very good at specific things, but when it comes to investing in films, he always has an amazing instinct, has he failed before? No! So don't say I'm not doing my duty, because I trust William completely!' That's what Miss Nicole Kidman said when talking about investing. ”

"As William wrote in his essays in his early years, some people always look at the world with malice and question everything that can be questioned, but no matter what they say or do, fearless achievers will continue to succeed!"

Back in the day, William was often secluded, never receiving a specific report, and very little information about him other than his work. ”

In the author's opinion, there are two people in the soul of director William, one is a successful person in the white tower, noble and humble, but he will always face the flower of evil poured out of black blood, and evil dark wizards will crawl out of it, trying to drag him into the hell of sinking; ”

However, to this day, apart from his name and works, it is difficult for us to find him in the media, he is really too mysterious. ”

"We love all his work, his films, his novels, even his few music, his essays and interesting stories, but we don't know about his changes. His life is trivial and we don't know. We don't know his journey. ”

"'We'd love to ask him to talk about his investment decisions and feelings, and if he could, it would be even better to be interviewed by us, do you think the estimated assets of "Hollywood Today" are his real net worth? I can guarantee that it is absolutely not, I have many friends on Wall Street, and everyone knows that Timoshchuk has made a lot of money from his investments in recent years, and the foundation he controls holds a lot of bullish stocks, and the real net worth of director William far exceeds your estimates in the entertainment industry. The above remarks come from a senior editor-in-chief of Fortune magazine. ”

"From fans to journalists, from the media industry to the financial industry, from the entertainment industry to the IT industry, many people are examining and evaluating Director William's next move. ”

"He is the guarantee of the box office of the film, the synonym of success and hard work, the owner of great wealth, the darling of Lady Luck, the most precious gift from God to America, he is King William Rothschild!"

This special report of "Time Magazine" is the result of communication between the two sides, with such a unique perspective to attract the attention of readers, Wang Jie did not agree, but under the persuasion of the women, he finally agreed, after all, there will be a series of movies to promote in the future, and it is very important to have a good relationship with the media.
