Chapter 484: Waiting for Happiness

You must know that in Charlotte's original world, the first commercial blockbuster shot using IMAX technology was "Batman: The Dark Knight" released in 2008.

This movie is the masterpiece of director Christopher Nolan, and it has one of the best reputations among Hollywood comic book blockbusters.

Even, because of this movie, the entire DC Cinematic Universe has been pulled astray by the dark system.

And the reason why this "Dark Knight" is so successful, in addition to Nolan's superb directing and the death of Heath Ledger, who played the Joker, is the first time to shoot with IMAX technical skills, which is also worth mentioning.

β€”β€”The ten-minute footage shot with IMAX technology in the movie is indeed very shocking and visually impactful.

It was from this film that IMAX gradually extended its tentacles to major Hollywood studios......

Now, Charlotte, as Hollywood's leading director, believes that IMAX will be very happy from top to bottom if he is willing to use IAMX technology to shoot commercial blockbusters.

- This could be the final word when he bought IMAX.

Of course, given that his assets are not enough at present, and the shares of IMAX company he have acquired are not too many, so this method is not used for the time being.

What's more, IMAX technology also needs to continue to mature......

In short, Charlotte's entire plan for IMAX is still in the early stages of preparation.

However, for another company, although Charlotte also has ideas and plans, she has not yet started it.

- That's Netflix.

As an online video rental provider, Netflix was born in 1997.

Due to the speed of development, the company is not currently listed.

Therefore, even if Charlotte wanted to buy its shares, there was no way for a while.

Of course, he could also invest directly in the company in the form of private investment, but it is not the right time at the moment.

Charlotte from the future world knows that the entire world's Internet industry will face a bubble economic crisis around the new millennium-

To put it simply, the Internet industry, which has been a hot concept stock before, has not found a reasonable enough means of profit for several years.

This made many investors lose patience, and as a result, the economic bubble in the Internet industry burst.

It can be said that most of the Internet industry did not have a good time in this bubble bursting crisis.

This is especially true for those that have not yet grown to a certain size, or whose profitability is much higher than the share price.

In Charlotte's opinion, that time is the most suitable time for him to enter -

For listed companies, he can choose the moment when the stock price is lowest to buy the bottom;

For unlisted companies, he can come with a real "angel" posture and use the same amount of money to obtain more shares.

Of course, that's what you say, but everyone knows the truth of choosing the bottom when the stock price is the lowest, and it is worth buying the shares of which companies are worth the bottom, which is a test of eyesight.

Fortunately, Charlotte from the future knows which companies have survived the Internet crisis and developed into giants in the industry.

Netflix is one of them.

In Charlotte's original world, by 2010, the company's business scale was already very large.

The online rental and on-demand business of films it has mastered is becoming larger and larger, and has even become one of the new profit points in the film industry.

Therefore, to a certain extent, Netflix at that time even had the strength to compete with the seven major Hollywood studios.

- Of course, MGM was dead at that time, and there were only six of the Seven Great, and maybe even the Big Five.

At that time, Netflix even filmed a large number of its own TV series and movies, such as the famous "House of Cards", which was the work of this company.

And Charlotte's focus on Netflix is also because of its online rental business.

- Audiences watching Charlotte's movies in the cinema can provide him with magic.

Watching DVDs and videotapes also seems to have some effect, but according to Charlotte's previous research, the effect will be a little worse.

- After all, watching DVDs and videotapes alone is much worse than in a movie theater.

So, what about using platforms like Netflix and watching online?

According to common sense, this should be about the same as watching a DVD.

- After all, I watched it alone.

However, Charlotte knows one thing, that is, if the movie that seems to be watched online by one person, in fact, if it is expanded to the United States or even the world, the number of people watching it at the same time is definitely not a few.

Is there any room that can be used?

Charlotte felt that if she could combine spells and online technology, she might be able to create a more efficient way to collect mana.

And this requires the cooperation of Netflix's technicians.

This is also the fundamental reason why Charlotte is eyeing Netflix.

Of course, for now he has to wait.

In fact, there is another company that has to wait for the same.

Although this company is not in Charlotte's future plans for spells, when it comes to investing in it to make money, there are few companies that can compare to it, except for Apple.

- This company is Google.

As the biggest rival of the closed-source Apple mobile phone in the future, the provider of the open-source Android system, and the pioneer of the Internet search website, Google's investment potential is huge.

However, the company has only been established for less than half a year and is still in the incubation stage.

Although Charlotte commissioned Alexis, who can move quickly, to make a special trip to Google's private placement when the company was just founded.

But for the money to really become valuable, you'll have to wait until Google officially rings the bell to go public.

- It will take two or three years.

In short, this is the composition of the stock investment part of Charlotte's assets.

It can be said that most of them are dominated by new technology companies, which are currently continuing to appreciate, but there is still a long way to go to gather highs.

It's not that Charlotte likes the feeling of holding it for the long term.

It's just that he lacks sufficient financial knowledge and operational ability, whether as a film director or an exorcist.

- To put it simply, even if he knows the general trend of the future, he does not have the ability to play short-term operations in it to make quick money.

In this case, it is the best and easiest choice to be optimistic about stocks with potential and long-term holding and other appreciation.

Of course, as the dot-com bubble approaches, Charlotte has also begun to gradually sell some shares.

- Mainly the stocks of companies whose stock prices will fall sharply during this crisis and will have a hard time returning to their original positions after that.

For example, Yahoo and the like.

As for the funds returned, part of Charlotte will be used for her own bottom-buying plan, and the other part, in addition to improving her life, will be used to strengthen the Ghost Party Studio.

- With negotiations with Warner for the Harry Potter franchise gradually completed, the opportunity for the Ghost Party Studios to grow is imminent.
