"What is this place?" Investor Zach Fiennes spread his hands, "This is Hollywood, and of course what we want to do is an investment project in the entertainment industry!" Do you know Ray Horowitz? ”

"You know, I've seen his movies, "Invasion" and "The Crow", all of which are film projects with low cost and high return!" Joel Butz hesitated.

There is indeed money to be made by making movies, and both "Invasion" and "The Raven" cost only a few hundred thousand dollars, but achieved nearly ten million dollars at the box office.

Box office revenue alone brings investors several times the return, and if you add streaming media, TV rights and other income, the return on investment is even more than ten times.

But Joel, who grew up in Los Angeles, is well aware that lucky people like Ray Horowitz are in the minority.

Most of the movies cast by investors can't even be put on the theater, so they can only be put in the warehouse to fall into dust.

And this industry is full of countless vampires, and even if the movie can be made and does a good box office, investors may not necessarily get a return.

Even a big-hit movie like "Harry Potter", they can make a loss, what else can't they do?

So if this project is an investment in film shooting, Joel will have to think carefully, unless he is 100% sure, he will definitely not pay for it.

"Ray ran shit luck, his 'Invasion' and 'The Raven' were very popular in Latin America, so the local media company paid a premium for the rights to these two works!" Zach didn't seem to notice the change in Joel's expression and said to himself.

"This shrewd guy took the opportunity to build close relationships with some of the biggest media companies in Latin America, and then set up a company."

"This company specializes in buying the rights to English-language films in Hollywood and selling them to major media companies in Latin America for the streaming business."

"Ray has been in Hollywood for many years, and although he has never had the opportunity to shoot big productions, he has acquaintances from various companies, and he can buy the films he wants at a very cheap price."

"And then sell it to Latin America for more money, sometimes even multiplying the price several times! This guy has found a gold mine, and this business will continue to be in business for many years! ”

"Can such a great opportunity be left to us? Hollywood companies are rushing to invest, right? Joel was still as cautious as he should have been.

"Ray is reluctant to work with Hollywood companies, he knows how greedy those companies are, and they will definitely use this opportunity to find out the network that Ray has worked so hard to build and kick him out."

"So he'd rather pay more to attract other investors, and then use that money to open up markets in Australia and New Zealand!"

"Both countries speak the same English and love Hollywood productions, and Ray has worked with local filmmakers in previous films, so he was able to connect with them!" Zach spoke in a small voice, as if he didn't want anyone else to know about it.

As reasonable as it sounds, Joel begins to waver, but it's still far from actually shelling out.

Zach wasn't in a hurry, he finished the glass of wine and prepared to leave, "Joel, don't tell anyone else about this!" In a few days, Ray will be attending a small party, and if you're interested, I'll take you there. ”

"Okay! I'll check it out when I have time! "It's just a party, Joel agreed.

Two days later, Joel received a call from Zach and came to the line, a luxury villa in Beverly Hills that supposedly belonged to a Hollywood A-lister.

Inside, Joel was a little dizzy, and the male and female stars in the villa competed for beauty, as if they were attending an Oscar dinner.

"Joel, here!" Zach snapped his fingers and called Joel to his side.

"This is Steve, this is Hansen, they've both invested in Ray's company! This is Joel, an investor looking for an opportunity. Zach introduced them, and the group went to the next room to play Texas Hold'em.

Naturally, the topic at the table was Ray Horowitz and investing, and Steve said after losing to Hansen's big pair in his small pair, "You've been so lucky lately, not only have you made more money on investments than me, but you also have to beat me when you play cards!" ”

"That's because I'm more decisive than you, and if you had made the decision earlier, you would have been rewarded with the same reward as me!" Hansen triumphantly snatched the chips into his arms.

"Thirty percent return! Anyone who listens will hesitate! Shit, just a month away, I actually took four million less than you! Steve couldn't help but curse.

"Thirty percent?" When Joel heard this number, he forgot to place a bet, and it is rare for such a high-return project to be found.

"Yes, thirty percent, and it's not settled on an annual basis, Ray will pay dividends to investors every quarter, Hansen decided to invest in the last quarter, and Steve was only a month later than him, and it was this month's time that made him lose a chance to get dividends!"

Zach said as he looked at his hole cards, and then pushed all the chips up, "Ah, my cards are good, all in, do you want to follow?" ”

"Variegated 28, there is no point in betting at all!" Steve shook his head and discarded his hole cards.

"I'm lucky right now, call!" Hansen counted as many chips as Zach and pushed them into the pool.

The five community cards were turned over one after another, and by the time of the fourth, Zach still had the absolute advantage, but Hansen waited for the river he wanted and pocketed all the chips.

"Hah, do you see! Whether it's investing or playing, the key is decisiveness! Hansen smirked.

"Wow, wow, let me see who's the big winner today?" At this time, a female star came in and sat next to Hansen, and the relationship between the two seemed to be very close.

After a while, Hansen took the full harvest and the female star to other aspects to carry out some more private activities.

Joel is envious of this, although he grew up in Los Angeles, he has never dated a female star of this grade.

"When Hansen first came to Los Angeles, he didn't even want to deal with him, but now, the important supporting actress of "Superman" has to make him happy, because Hansen can introduce investment opportunities to her!" Zach patted Joel on the shoulder and said.

"Oh, by the way, and I'll tell you the good news, Ray is talking to HBO about rights agency right now, and he's going to sign a contract soon."

"You know what that means, just Game of Thrones can make him crazy, and if you're going to invest, you'd better get ahead of it!"
