Chapter 44 Investment Plans

For the rest of the day, Ryan became idle, with little to do other than edit a promotional video.

"Saw Horror" was released at the end of August, and it is only early June, which means that it will be released in more than a month.

Naturally, the promotion of the film needs to be postponed, preferably more than a week before its release.

The reason is very simple, the next summer blockbusters will gather, and with the publicity expenses of "Chainsaw", if you don't concentrate it, I'm afraid there will be no splash at all.

"Forrest Gump" will be released on July 6, "The Lion King" will be released on June 15, and "True Lies" will be released on July 15.

This year's summer season is far more hot than everyone expected.

The focus of the media and the public is on these commercial blockbusters, and premature publicity will only waste the only money available.

At the same time, Ryan was prepared to pay for publicity out of his own pocket, and instead of wasting it on TV stations, newspapers, magazines, weekly magazines, and film critics, he invested it in movie theaters and video tape rental stores.

In the first two weeks or so of the film's release, a promotional poster was put up on a large scale, and a promotional video was shown at a cinema in the city center.

All of the above publicity will be launched in mid-August, which means that Ryan can completely relax for a long time to come.

According to his temperament, once he is free, he has to stay at home and continue to write scripts, preemptively occupy the pit, and enrich the number of scripts in the studio.

However, Helen had other plans, and took Ryan with her to Mamgomary County, Pennsylvania, saying that she was here to meet someone.

It was Scott Kingsley Swift, the father of the famous Taylor Swift in his previous life.

As for Sophia, she went to visit the crew of "Kiss of Death", and by the way, she asked her cousin about the progress of the new script.

Ryan is not here to see Taylor Swift Jr., of course, but he is now missing a stockbroker.

He has millions of dollars in his account, and he can't keep it in the bank waiting for it to depreciate, and it is foreseeable that a large amount of money will arrive in his account, and the best way is to invest it as soon as possible.

Looking at the farm not far away, Ryan had a long-lost feeling, as if he had returned to his hometown in his memory, Texas.

But the farm in front of him was only 11 acres in size, which was much smaller than the farm he remembered.

"Hello, Miss Helen, Mr. Ryan, and welcome to Christmas Tree Farm. ”

Swift walked out from afar to greet him, with a bug-like Taylor Swift behind him.

The three of them briefly introduced each other.

"Excuse me, Miss Beauty, what is your name. Ryan asked, reaching out and touching Taylor Swift's blonde hair.

"Hello, Mr. Ryan, my name is Taylor Swift, you can call me Taylor. Taylor Swift replied politely.

"Hello little Taylor, this is a gift for you. Ryan pulled out a box of chocolates that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Taylor Swift.

"Thank you, Mr. Ryan. Taylor Swift said thank you before taking the chocolate.

Ryan rubbed Taylor's blonde hair and couldn't help but sigh secretly, who would have thought that the little girl in front of him would set off a frenzy in the music scene in the future.

Well, it's better to get rid of the habit of putting your ex-boyfriend in the lyrics.

Swift smiled and invited the two into the living room, and the next thing was naturally to discuss stock investment.

However, Ryan did not take his advice and instead invested in several companies in his memory, such as Apple, Marvel Comics, and Microsoft.

It's just a long-term investment, not wanting to get involved in this industry, otherwise you will be swallowed by someone with a bone if you are not careful.

In this regard, Swift was very puzzled, "Mr. Ryan, with all due respect, Microsoft stock has always been favored by investors in the industry and is a very good investment choice. ”

However, Apple and Marvel Comics, their year-end statements last year were not ideal, and it is expected that the performance in the next few years will also be difficult to improve, which is not a good investment choice. ”

If Apple's performance is just unsatisfactory, then the performance of Marvel Comics is simply a mess.

Since 1991, a group of star artists such as Jim Lee and McFarlane have quit Marvel Comics and established Image.

Let Marvel Comics lose its most appealing author.

The following in the early nineties, the collectible value of comics and cards began to plummet. Between 1993 and 1994, manga sales fell by around 50 percent, and hundreds of comic retailers went bankrupt.

Marvel Comics had to rely on selling rights to survive until the future officially declared bankruptcy in 1996.

It can be said that the situation of Marvel Comics is getting worse and worse almost every day, and investors have long lost confidence in it.

Ryan doesn't know what happened to Marvel Comics, he only knows one thing, Hollywood twenty years later, belongs to the world of superheroes, and whoever owns Marvel Comics is equivalent to having an inexhaustible mountain of gold.

"Although Apple's performance is not good, I believe that sooner or later Jobs will return to Apple again, so I am not investing in Apple, but in the future. ”

"As for the Marvel comics, it's just that I personally love me, and if I can, maybe I'll buy it when I have the chance. Ryan said half-jokingly.

"Well, Mr. Swift, I'm well aware of the stakes in this matter. ”

"Next Monday, I'm going to call $3 million first, which I will use to invest in the shares of three companies. ”

Seeing this, Swift could only nod his head and agree.

As for buying the Marvel comics!

Naturally, he didn't take it seriously, at most it was just a joke.

With the current performance of Marvel Comics, it may not be long before it faces bankruptcy, who will buy a comic company that is about to go bankrupt.

After talking about business, it is time to enjoy the idyllic scenery.

Christmas Tree Farm is very different from ordinary farms, the design is very distinctive, it is more like an amusement park, there are no herds of cattle and sheep, more of a variety of entertainment facilities.

Refusing to be accompanied by Swift, the two walked leisurely on the farm and enjoyed the rare natural scenery.

Helen took a deep look at Ryan and said, "You just said that you bought Marvel Comics Company, are you really going to do this!"

In the eyes of investors, Marvel Comics may just be a comic book company that is about to go bankrupt.

But in the eyes of Hollywood film companies, it is a new attempt, otherwise with the shrewdness of Hollywood studios, they would not have bought the copyright of Marvel Comics superhero characters.

"I don't have that much money, and I can expect Marvel Comics to be a money-loser for a long time. ”

"As for investing in amazement comics, it's just my personal hobby. Ryan didn't admit it and didn't deny it.

Before computer special effects technology matured, marvel comics had no value at all.

"I hope so. Helen didn't go any further.
