In reality, the project "Black Hawk Down" cannot attract investment at all.

Disney was willing to vote for "Pearl Harbor," but they said no to Jerry Bruckheimer's "Black Hawk Down."

There is no other reason, that is, because the time is too close, the matter is too big, and the timid and afraid of things does not dare.

If you say this, it may give people a sense of exaggeration, but after Jerry Bruckheimer took the revised script of the American Department of Defense and went to Warner, Universal, and Paramount in the name of the full support of the military, what he gained was all closed.

Seeing that the project really couldn't go ahead, Jerry Bruckheimer began to look for investment among his friends, and that's when Todd Garner, the former co-head of production at Disney Studios, with whom he had a good relationship, and Joe Rose, a Hollywood producer who had produced "Baseball Angels," "Love at Second Sight," and "Family Robbery," decided to take a gamble with him.

In the end, in the 92 million investment project of "Black Hawk Down", there are only the Revolutionary Film Studio founded by Todd Garner and Joe Ross, Jerry Bruckheimer's film company of the same name, and director Ridley Scott's Film Studio, which are jointly invested - in the film with an investment of nearly 100 million, there is less than half of the giant, which is a very outrageous thing, and what is even more strange is that after the film is filmed, whether it is a revolutionary film studio, Or Jerry Bruckheimer Films, or Scott Freelance Productions, didn't dare to put their company's logo on the beginning of the movie.

That's right, I invested in the production of a movie, but I didn't dare to put my company's logo on it.

This is no longer called cowardice, we almost didn't tell the outside world, we really just paid out of our own pockets and paid for things.

If something goes wrong with the movie, don't come to us.

If it is said that investment and production are very difficult, and no one wants to be burdened with the black pot of provoking trouble, then the distribution is even more bloody.

When looking for a distributor, even if there is no auction, Warner, Universal, Paramount, Disney, and Fox don't want to make a fuss at the last moment, and the final takeover is the only non-American capital among the six majors, Sony.

There are many people who always like to brag that the scale of Hollywood is too big and they dare to shoot anything.

With 'hehe', you can perfectly respond to those licking dogs.

There are many things that Hollywood studios dare not shoot, scold the commander and blow up the White House, that is freedom?

It's naïve.

As for why Jerry Bruckheimer took the shot?

Who let him pick the head first, so that the American Department of Defense felt that the "Black Hawk Down" that he changed was too special for the cow beep!

After the movie is released, who will remember that the American soldier who fell off the zipline was because his hand slipped? Who will remember that this rookie egg who fell because of his own mistake was the culprit who caused Super 61 to be hit by an RPG?

You can't change the general direction, but the small details can still be corrected!

Just as the New York Times trumpeted how rich and gentlemanly the rich men on the Titanic were, the American Department of Defense didn't want the shame of sending new recruits into battle to live on.

They would rather be blamed on the enemy than allow the outside world to question the strength of their own army.

Because once the opening of the American army is open, the world policeman will not be able to be the policeman.

If the world's policeman can't be the world's policeman, how can he plunder resources from other countries?

The pot of underestimating the enemy will make the outside world think that America's army just missed by accident, as long as it is serious, it is still an invincible division, and similarly, the crazy rescue shown in the movie can strengthen the image of America's army as a mad dog in the eyes of the outside world - you kill me, I kill your whole family! If I can hit you, I will never beep!

Of course, the more the giants find "Black Hawk Down" tricky, lest they avoid it, the easier it is to get the copyright, but the easier it is to get the copyright, the more difficult it is to get Sony into the set, and when Roland was silent because of this matter, Bill Gates, who took him to a simple tour of the Microsoft campus, took the opportunity to send an invitation and let Roland go directly to his home for dinner.

Although there are anti-monopoly lawsuits, the anti-monopoly case has not been officially filed by the Ministry of Justice after all, and in the previous anti-monopoly lawsuit against Apple, Microsoft won a big victory, so at this time, the old yin beep was not panicked at all.

Well, it's actually a bit panicked, because being stared at by the Department of Justice, they can't buy Yahoo.

If Yahoo is acquired at this time, then Windows + Internet Explorer + Yahoo! , this is not a natural monopoly, picking things at this juncture, Microsoft will definitely be caught and beaten.

Because of this, during the meal, Bill Gates did not talk about work, but asked about other things.

"Are you going to this year's Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting?"

"The year before last, you complained to Ronald that you didn't receive an invitation, but after Warren sent you an invitation last year, you didn't show up because of work, and this year he also sent you an invitation, you won't be absent again, right?"

“What？” Roland was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go!" Why don't I go? ”

If it weren't for Bill Gates talking about it, Roland would have forgotten about the annual Omaha investment event.

Every year, Berkshire Hathaway holds a shareholder meeting at CenturyLink in Omaha, where everyone who owns Berkshire Hathaway stock is able to bring their friends along with them on a share-by-share basis.

Because of this, in Roland's previous life, in that unspeakable eastern country, there were many investment companies that would do some tourism business - a small amount of Berkshire Hathaway shares, and then after getting the ticket to the shareholders' meeting, they would sell the places they went together, in different locations, at different prices, but the minimum was also 150,000 yuan.

Bought this service, the guy who went on time, can listen to Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, Bill Gates bragging on stage in a venue of 50,000 people, in the early years, if you can't understand English, then it's really a black eye, blind, but as this kind of tourism business is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people go to join in the fun every year, the organizers really thought that there were so many shareholders after seeing the number of people present, so they intimately provided a large conference room with simultaneous interpretation, which directly satisfied those who did not speak English well, But the rich guys can make them understand directly on the spot.

As for whether these tour groups will lose money by engaging in this kind of service?

If you think about it, people take money to buy shares of Berkshire Hathaway, which in itself is an investment that outperforms the market, and in this case, organizing people to go on a pilgrimage every year and charging per capitation is a year!

Moreover, those who did it early did it in a few years, and many people earned money either to invest in real estate or to continue to hold shares in the name of their families and expand their businesses; What's more, they also took advantage of the loophole that the video of the shareholders' meeting was not released to the public in those years, and while engaging in tour group services, those guys also opened investment, consulting, and education companies, and hung photos of Berkshire Hathaway every year in the company, and whenever a customer arrived, they directly applied the story of Bill Gates's son-in-law.

What shoots Buffett's charity lunch, cutting leeks by recommending stocks to Buffett, that's all left over from these people's play.

Of course, now Roland can enter without applying for a tour group, after all, he is a real shareholder!

He didn't bother to sell admission tickets to open an education company, because it was too slow for him to make money.

Just as he agreed, he remembered his deal with the Big Six.

There's a bunch of interviews waiting for him over there, and he'll have to schedule a moment.

"Uh...... Wait a minute...... When will it open this year? ”

"May 5th to 7th, do you have a job?"

"May? Belch...... At that time, it was the release period of "Saving Private Ryan", and I promised Paramount to go to a talk show, but I didn't know what day they would arrange for me......"

"Publicity? Paramount? Talk show? Bill Gates blinked, then laughed, "Isn't Paramount from Viacom?" Isn't Viacom Satsuma Rayshidong? If you're not satisfied with your time management, I'll give Satsuma a call? I don't think he'll embarrass you about this again......"

Q: How easy is it to find guys on the Forbes list of the world's richest people?

A: Bill Gates just pays lip service.

"Well, I feel like I'm talking to Paramount myself, and they're not going to embarrass me either......"

After hearing Bill Gates' proposal, the sweat on Roland's head was about to fall.

At the same time, he was also a little strange, "However, it doesn't seem to make much difference if I go or not, right?" ”

Hearing Roland say this, Bill Gates was a little surprised, "How can it not have an impact?" ”

"With your current net worth, you would have been on Forbes a long time ago, okay? It's just that most of the assets in your name have been calculated by Forbes to David Olsen, and many properties are not listed, so you can't calculate the value at all. ”

"Take the 20,000 shares you own in Berkshire Hathaway, one percent of them can put you in the top 20! If such a big shareholder doesn't go to the scene, do you think Warren won't ask? ”

"You know, in 1995, only 49 state shareholders went to the annual meeting, and the next year, he wrote in the shareholder letter, 'Vermont, where were you?'"

"Besides, Warren learned that one of the guys who listened to your complaints was a guy named Carl, so he always wanted to meet you, because the guy he hated the most was Carl, and every time he met the other party, he looked like this."

Speaking of this, Bill Gates suddenly stopped, pouted, tilted his body, stared straight ahead, his pupils were full of unslashed writing, and tried to make a look like no one should enter.

And after seeing this funny face, Roland slapped the table directly and laughed.

"Oh, William! Is Warren really such a person? ”

The undignified words also made Bill Gates retract his humble imitation and respond with the same laugh, "Of course!" ”

That's right, on the surface, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates are good old people with peaceful faces, but in reality, none of these guys are good at stubble, and one is more ruthless than the other.

Just like what is said in "Zengguang Xianwen"-

'Kindness does not lead soldiers, righteousness does not raise wealth, kindness does not serve as officials, love does not stand up for things, and benevolence does not engage in politics. ’

Warren Buffett is also a grudge-holding guy.

Although he has been criticized by Carl Icahn for being too merciful, the mercy of the gods is only relative to the extinction of the wolf king, Buffett does not kill chickens to take eggs, but this does not mean that he will let chickens give birth.

Not to mention, next to him, there is a Charlie Munger who dares to publicly scold all investors.

Of course, in addition to getting involved with the wolf king, Roland's Amazon and net worth are also the reasons why Bill Gates repeatedly hopes that he can go to Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders' meeting.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, when he was doing finance with David Shaw, was very, very familiar with Warren Buffett.

When people were looking for financing, they looked to Warren Buffett.

It's a pity that Warren Buffett is an old-fashioned person who doesn't believe in the Internet at all, so he refuses.

And Roland's net worth......

In the latest Forbes list of the world's richest people released at the beginning of this year, Bill Gates once again topped the list with a net worth of 51 billion, and although Roland's net worth cannot be compared with him, it is not a lot.

20,000 shares of Berkshire Hathaway are worth one billion, and the shares of Yahoo, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft all add up, and there are another two billion here, plus the billion cash that Bill Gates knows, even if you remove Blizzard Entertainment, Warcraft Films, and Interstellar Records, the three companies that cannot be accurately valued, Roland's net worth is four billion.

Easily make it into the top hundred.

That is, David has been helping Roland block the knife, otherwise, these riches that cannot be hidden at all would have been exposed a long time ago!

Is Bill Gates really thinking about recruiting Blizzard based on Roland's praise for himself?

No kidding, okay!

What he said to Paul Allen before that 'some people are born to interpret success' refers to Roland's investment vision, or rather, these luck that have not been exposed by those media at all!

Why did those rich Jews treat him with kindness from beginning to end?

At first, it was because Roland helped them do something, and now, they know that Roland is qualified to come to their house for dinner!

That is to say, Roland, a guy with a heart like a mirror, knows that what he gets on paper is shallow, and the wealth obtained in the stock market is simply a world and a place compared with the industrial giants, so he will always choose to reluctantly, work hard to transfer his wealth to the industry, and create as many employment opportunities for the public as possible!

It's not that Roland has too much money and no place to spend it, nor is it that the current copyright operation model is not good, but in a capitalist society, every living person is also an asset that capital can control!

The more human assets you have, the more you have to speak!

Of course, even if the net worth is very weak, it doesn't matter.

Because these things can allow Roland to enter the community after the Berkshire Hathaway shareholder meeting.

The shareholders' meeting is actually a big exhibition of buying, buying, buying, and buying, and the American media even calls it the Woodstock of the capital world, which is of little significance in essence, but during the shareholders' meeting, the dinner party of those institutions that have disclosed their identities and individual major shareholders who are unwilling to disclose their identities is the real party, and those who are engaged in military industry, chemical industry, energy, and finance are the real ones......

The whole nine yards.

Roland felt that since he couldn't think of any way to lure Sony into the pit for the time being, it might be a good choice to go to a senior disco and relax.
