The Harry Potter series, which requires a huge budget to support gorgeous post-production, and several film series that are in preparation or have already started production, including "The Lord of the Rings", require huge cash flow to support, even if the series are co-productions.

With such a huge amount of money, let alone Ryan and Jenkins Films, even media giants like Time Warner and Viacom, it is not easy to come up with it in a short period of time.

That's right, Ryan now has a net worth of billions of dollars, but most of it is stocks and real estate, and it is undoubtedly very difficult to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in movies in the short term, not to mention, he also threw most of his liquidity into the stock market, and now is the craziest time for IT stocks.

Despite the experience of previous lives, no one dares to guarantee that a film with a large investment in production will be 100% successful, and if it is produced independently, if something happens, unless the company is sold to cash out, the company under its name will face the danger of bankruptcy, and then bring a series of adverse reactions.

There are not a few people in Hollywood who are waiting for his jokes, and some enemies are still waiting in the shadows, ready to take the opportunity to run out and take a bite.

Co-production is the best way to share the risks and pressures, and to bind many partners together with benefits, and whoever moves the cake will face a backlash from multiple giants, even if the federal government wants to do it, it will have to think about it.

In the previous life, the Harry Potter series definitely created a value of more than 10 billion dollars, or even more, and Ryan didn't mind accepting part of Warner's investment, but this is a business cooperation, and if you want to get something, you have to pay the corresponding price.

It's one of the most basic rules in the mall, and Time Warner has what he wants.

"Ryan, Warner has a lot of sincerity." Jeffrey? Bix tried to soothe his tone, as if he didn't want Ryan to misunderstand, "Time Warner is here to support you. Any aspect. ”

"Okay, Jeff." Ryan nodded, "I accept Time Warner's investment, the old rule, you are stationed in financial supervision, and you are not allowed to interfere with the normal operation of the crew." ”

"We've had a great time working together in the past, haven't we?" Even though it only accounts for a quarter of the investment, Jeffrey? Bickers is already satisfied, and Warner's investment team has already estimated that, if there are no surprises, this quarter of the investment. There will be huge gains in exchange.

As for the risks? The person opposite him is definitely the most beneficial guarantee for movies in the entire world, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

"Jeff, I heard that Warner owns some of Disney's shares?" Ryan asked suddenly.

"yes, not much." Jeffrey? Bix knew it was time for Warners to pay the price, "I guess it's not a secret in Hollywood. ”

Ryan nodded slowly, and it can be said that it is a well-known thing for insiders to hold shares among the top groups in Hollywood to avoid too fierce and vicious competition. Although the stake is limited, there is a real stake.

"I'm buying two-thirds of your shares in Disney at 10 percent above the market price." Ryan slowly stated his purpose.

"This needs to be discussed by the board." Jeffrey? Bix was visibly embarrassed. "The amount of money involved is too big, and I can't call the shots."

"That's good. Please give me a reply as soon as possible. Ryan stood up.

"Definitely." Jeffrey? Bix nodded solemnly.

What a hassle!

Walking towards the door, Ryan couldn't help but sigh that although the deal involved not many shares, the amount was hundreds of millions of dollars. This is one of the reasons why his cash flow is tight.

Back in the '80s, Time Warner held a small stake in Disney if they were willing to sell it. Ryan has nearly three percent of the voting shares in his hands, and he is a relatively large individual shareholder regardless of those professional investment institutions and companies.

Ryan vaguely remembers that in his previous life, Walt Disney acquired Pixar Studios through cash and share swaps. With just a few 6.0 percent of the shares, Jobs became the largest individual shareholder.

Although Ryan is far from having a say on the board of directors of Walt Disney with this stake, Michael? Since Eisner doesn't want to reconcile, and he keeps making small moves under his hands, he is not a passive person, and he is ready to give him a big gift.

It's about to be 1999, and if it goes well, there will be a lot of money back, many things such as equity, it's not that they can't be bought, the main problem is the price, after returning from Europe, he has reached a consensus with the Jewish group on Wall Street, and if necessary, he will give up enough interests to gain the support of the other party.

As soon as he walked out of the lounge, Ryan met the figure with a headache, Paris in a pink evening dress? Hilton waved to him through the crowd and walked over with a middle-aged man.

"Hello, Mr. Hilton." Ryan was extremely polite, and when he saw the other party's frowning, he quickly changed his name, "Uncle Richard, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

"Ryan, long time no see."

Because of Paris? Hilton's relationship, the two sides knew each other back in the early nineties, Richard? Hilton didn't expect that the child star he didn't pay attention to back then would reach the same level as himself with his own efforts, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his words.

"When I was your age, Ryan, I was a bastard who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun." He changed his voice and looked at his daughter, "What kind of character is Parry, I, as a father, know very well, since she wants to develop in Hollywood, then you can help me take care of it more." ”

Take care of her? Ryan couldn't help but scratch his head a little, with the character of this pink goblin, he might not know what kind of farce would happen in the future.

"Uncle Richard......"

Don't wait for Ryan to finish speaking, Richard? Hilton patted his arm lightly, "That's it, Ryan, there are some old friends in front of me, I still have something to talk to them about, I'll visit when I'm free." ”

Will the nature and nature of man change? If Ryan were to answer, it would definitely not be.

Although he scared Rick away? Solomon, but only God knows if there will be another one, and with her playful and playful personality, she is enough to cause a lot of trouble.

"Don't look at me like that, I'll admit that I sometimes don't think enough about things, but it's a lot less trouble than that little guy next to you."

Obviously, Paris? Hilton noticed Ryan's strange look.

"Little one? Which little one? Ryan couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Taylor? Swift. ”

Hearing the words that popped out of the other party's mouth, Ryan quickly recalled, as if it was true, whether at school or at work, the blonde little curly hair can only be described as lawless, and even the tomboy of the Stewart family was about to be spoiled by her.

"You can just listen to Dad's words, don't take it to heart, I'm not a little kid like Taylor, I can take care of myself." Paris? Hilton took Ryan's arm and walked towards the corner of the banquet hall, "Do you still need to socialize?" Let's find a place to rest for a while. ”

Sitting at the corner table, Ryan looked her up and down and asked, "Didn't you go back to school in New York?" ”

Will this kind of banquet invite Richard? Hilton, but this pink goblin is definitely out of the master's consideration.

"I asked for leave from school, and the writers Drew had already completed the first draft of the script, and I had enough time to work on the characters." She suddenly smiled, waved her hand casually and said, "Don't worry, I donated a lot of money to the school, and graduation is not a problem." ”

"That's what I learned from you." She added.

"You...... Where did the money come from? Ryan still remembers that when he first met, this guy had just gotten a few hundred dollars in pocket money, and it would take two hours at most to spend it cleanly, and she was not yet an adult, and it was impossible for her property to be in her hands.

"I borrowed it." Paris? Hilton counted on his fingers, "Drew lent me $300,000, Nat lent me $200,000, Scarlett borrowed $50,000, plus what I got from someone else, I scraped together a million dollars and donated it to the school." ”

"Nat will lend you money?" Ryan was weird, Natalie didn't like this guy at all.

"I know that Donette doesn't like my personality very much, but we've been friends for almost ten years......"

Under Ryan's burning gaze, Paris? Hilton stuck out his tongue and told the truth, "Scarlett helped me speak. ”

She seemed to have accumulated a lot of words, "Ryan, is that "Thunderbolt Angel" really going to be popular?" Can I really become popular with this? I heard Drew say, those three months of ......"

"Kung Fu training." Ryan reminded.

"Yes, kung fu training will be very hard, if I can't persevere, can I ......"

"Can't!" Ryan interrupted her without hesitation, "If you can't hold on, I'll change you and ask George to send you back to New York and tell your father that you're not fit for this job." ”

Ryan doesn't want to train and shoot when this daughter always causes trouble for the crew, with her identity and surname, as long as the filming is completed, it is more attractive than the Miss Lucy in her previous life, and maybe it can also pull a lot of box office.

was willing to agree to her to star, and Ryan naturally considered many factors.

"Ryan, we're friends......"

"Parry, friendship is friendship, business is business." Ryan curled his knuckles and slowly tapped on the table, "We haven't signed a contract yet, it's not too late for you to quit now......"

"Who said I was going to quit!" Paris? Hilton lay pitifully on the table, "I just want some perks." ”

"Drew is the head of the crew, I'll tell her ......"

Ryan suddenly thought that hard training is a good way to strengthen people's will, since he interfered in the life of this goblin, why not continue to try to make some changes?

"Believe me, my dear, you're going to enjoy those three months of training." (To be continued......)
