At the same time as the intense filming of "Jurassic Park", the production of the post-CG picture is also in full swing, and the crew has already formulated a complete publicity plan, and on the basis of maintaining a certain degree of mystery, some of the latest shooting tidbits will be released from time to time.

For Nicole, this film is unlike the other three films she made after she came to Hollywood, Ellie? Dr. Setler has a lot of desperate running and action scenes, which makes her suffer a lot.

Finally came to a weekend off, and Nicole simply pushed off the relationship with Judy? Foster's shopping plan, nesting at home to plan a good day of rest, did not expect that just after breakfast, Disney staff came to the door and sent a batch of trial animal dolls.

"Ryan, why don't you come and take a look?" Nicole placed more than a dozen dolls in the corner of the living room and shouted to the couch.

"Nicole, bring Simba and Nana, thank you." Ryan turned half his head from the couch.

"Honey, you should come by yourself."

"Please, Nicole." Ryan muttered, "Won't Disney deliver it next week this weekend?" ”

Now that "The Lion King" is being intensified, and the animal dolls in it are ready to be finalized, Disney sent samples over, naturally wanting to ask for his opinion on the original author.

It's a pity that Ryan is a layman at all about dolls and the like, and after a general glance, he feels pretty good, especially Simba in his childhood. It can definitely poke at the cute point of many people.

The fluffy golden lion cub is cute, and Nicole holds it in her hand and turns it over and over to look at it. Ryan tossed Nana's sample aside and watched the rambling show on TV. I was bored, so I simply dragged Nicole's honey-gold curls tied into a ponytail, pinched it in my hand and played with it gently, that feeling...... Well, at least it's much more interesting than a TV show.

"Ryan, my hair just got a good look." Nicole glared at him, but Ryan didn't care at all, muttering, "Don't be so stingy, okay?" Nicole. ”

Nicole rolled her eyes and moved closer to Ryan so he could pull more hair, sighing in her heart that if only he was happy.

A voice from outside the living room sounded, what seemed to be the sound of Lisa talking to Scott, and then in a burst of dense footsteps, the little girl with messy blond curly hair rushed into the living room. At a glance, I saw the doll in Nicole's hand.

"Mine! This is...... It's mine! Taylor was really not polite at all, he rushed over and snatched the doll in his hand, and then hugged Nana, who was still on the other side of Ryan, in his arms, "It's all mine!" These! All! ”

"Hey. Taylor, slow down, no one will rob you. ”

Nicole quickly took one of her hands. I'm afraid that this little guy will fall to the ground.

"Nicole, these ...... It's all mine! ”

Taylor gave Nicole a flattering smile. She knew very well who would be in charge of the family now.

"Okay, dear. It's all yours. Nicole could only laugh helplessly.

"Taylor......"

Scott? Swift walked in at this time, looking at his overly lively daughter, and also had a headache.

"Hey, over here, Scott."

Ever since that troublemaker came in, Ryan has simply become an invisible person, and dealing with her is definitely a headache.

"Hello, Nicole, and Ryan." Scott sat across from Ryan.

Ryan ...... These are mine! Ryan doesn't want to deal with Taylor, but the little girl won't let him go, and the guy seems to understand that he is a privileged class, "I want to listen to the guitar!" Right now! ”

With this trick-or-treating bag here, it's hard to talk about anything serious, Nicole understands that since Scott came over on the weekend, she must have something serious to talk about, so she rolled her eyes helplessly, picked up the two dolls, and pulled the naughty little girl to the entertainment room.

"Coming back?" Ryan asked with a smile after serving coffee to the maid.

"I just came back from Richmond yesterday." Scott opened his briefcase, took out a copy of the paper, and handed it over, "I hired two regular investigative agencies at the same time, and they spent a long time in San Raphael and Richmond to obtain this information. ”

"Rest assured, no illegal means were used." Scott added.

"Oh~ It seems that their situation is very bad." Ryan flipped through the text, most of the content in it was not something he could have known in his previous life, "worse than I imagined and heard......"

"Indeed, in the '90s, in order to raise the necessary running expenses for the studio, they sold off the hardware division, which also included specialized hardware technology and image processing software, and laid off eighteen of the only 100 employees, and moved the office from San Rafael to a single-story building in Richmond in order to save rent and expenses, and in 1990, the net loss on the books was as high as $8.3 million, which should actually be more." ”

"No wonder that guy took it as a baggage." Ryan could only sigh when he heard this.

"In fact, they're in a much tougher situation right now, and last year and this year, they've laid off another 30 people, including Chuck, the president? Costa, with only forty-two people left in the entire studio, has reverted to the number it had when it was first created. ”

"What about finances?" Ryan simply closed the text folder.

"So far, the actual loss in the first two quarters of this year has exceeded $5 million, and if nothing else, the loss for the whole year will be a record high." Scott drank a cup of coffee, a little embarrassed.

Ryan smiled with satisfaction, the more difficult the situation over there, the more beneficial it was for him, "What about the people I asked you to check?" ”

"John? Lasseter, Andrew? Stanton, Ed? Kamel and the others are still there, but if they continue to lose money, no one knows whether they will voluntarily resign or become the next target of layoffs. ”

With his arms around his chest, Ryan pinched his chin, if nothing else. These people will keep going until the day they succeed.

"Ryan. Really want to buy it? Scott frowned, "No one in Hollywood or even the IT world in whole is optimistic about them. I think you've heard that the guy has been peddling it, and if it weren't for Microsoft's rejection of an offer of up to $50 million, it would now be a subsidiary of Microsoft. ”

"Also, although it's not clear at this time, its loss in '91 should be more than 90 years, and it will even exceed 10 million dollars this year." Scott was clearly persuading.

"Not now." Ryan waved his hand casually, he didn't have that much cash right now, "What about Disney?" ”

"They signed a $26 million investment agreement. It is said that the funds have not arrived for a long time, and the board of directors of Disney has a huge disagreement. Eisner has a sense of remorse, he has never been very optimistic about animation production, and it must not be a secret......"

This is the most headache, Ryan rubbed his forehead, how can Disney give up this agreement?

Of course, this will be after the things are in hand, if "The Lion King" will be as successful as in the previous life. Maybe it's an opportunity, after all, this movie pushed Disney animation to the top and made the vast majority of people optimistic about the future of hand-drawn animation.

In addition, the exchange of interests is also a way. As long as there are enough immediate benefits, presumably it can impress Michael? Eisner, impressing Walt Disney's board of directors.

"Okay. Scott, help keep an eye on that point. And ......" Ryan frowned, no money was indeed a big problem. "How much money do we have now?"

"There isn't much cash flow left, unless you sell your stock holdings and fixed assets."

"This ...... Forget it. "After a few years, Scott managed to absorb some of the shares from the stock market, isn't it foolish to sell at this time, Ryan thought for a moment and said, "There should be a lot of money coming into the account at the beginning of next year......

Indeed, next year, there will not only be a royalty share of this year's novel market, but also "Ryan? Jenkins", in addition to the overseas box office of "Bodyguard" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" and the surrounding dividends have not been settled with the partner, if the funds are still not enough, then I have to go to the bank to borrow.

With his and Nicole's creditworthiness, a loan of one to two million dollars shouldn't be too much of a problem.

When the money is used, I hate it! Ryan couldn't help but sigh a little, why didn't he have the spirit of a protagonist, just go to the stock market and roll around, and hundreds of millions or even billions of funds would be in hand?

It's better to wait, when "Jurassic Park" comes out, whether it is the movie box office or peripheral products, it will completely crush the entire world film industry, and then you will spread dollars in the entire villa and enjoy the spirit of a local tyrant.

Near noon, sent off Scott? Swift father and daughter, Ryan fell into thought again, this investigation is through other companies hired by Scott, which is very inconvenient, and it is easy to leak the news, saying that he wants to sponsor or set up such a company?

"Ryan, what would you like to eat?" Nicole walked over at this point.

"Whatever, I like whatever you do."

See Nicole? Kidman, Ryan suddenly remembered the divorce case in her previous life, in which Tom? Cruise hired a notorious Italian, who, although dishonorably in his means, was extremely practical.

Nicole has always starred in works related to him, and the huge profits he can bring to the producers have made Nicole hardly suffer, after all, no one will fight against green money.

But Ryan is well aware of the dark side of this circle, and it's hard to say if anyone will fall into trouble when he encounters certain difficulties.

Whether it is now or in the future, Ryan knows very well that he cannot change the rules of the game in this circle, and he has no intention of changing anything, he just wants to protect his relatives and friends......

Especially he and Natalie, who now have the advantage of being underage, even if some people want to think about what they want to do, but what about them after the age of sixteen?

The premise of this qiē is money, and if he and Nicole have a net worth of hundreds of millions or even billions, many problems will not be a problem.

Of course, Ryan has the memory of his past life, so he naturally knows where the bottom line of some things is, and he won't touch it, otherwise it would be tragic to play himself in prison like that Italian...... (To be continued......)
