Rebirth In Hollywood

Chapter 137 About the Future

While the filming of "Jurassic Park" was intense, the production of CG images in the later stage was also in full swing. The crew had already formulated a complete publicity plan. On the basis of maintaining a certain degree of mystery, some latest shooting footage would be released from time to time. If At this time, a certain star in the crew can break out a vigorous scandal, which is definitely something everyone loves to hear.

For Nicole, this film is different from the other three films she has made since she came to Hollywood. Dr. Elle Settler has a lot of desperate running and action scenes that make her suffer a lot.

Finally came to a weekend off, Nicole simply rejected the shopping plan with Jodie Foster, and planned to rest at home for a good day. Unexpectedly, just after breakfast, Disney staff came to the door to deliver A batch of trial-made animal dolls came.

"Ryan, why don't you just take a look?" Nicole put more than a dozen dolls in the corner of the living room and shouted towards the sofa.

"Nicole, bring Simba and Nana here, thank you." Ryan turned his head halfway from the sofa.

"Honey, you should come by yourself."

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

Now the production of "The Lion King" is intensifying, and the animal dolls in it are ready for final production. Disney sent the samples, naturally wanting to ask his original author's opinion.

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

The fluffy little golden lion is really cute. Nicole turned it over and over in his hand and kept watching. Ryan threw Nana's sample aside and watched the long-winded program on TV. But the honey-gold curly hair tied into a ponytail was pulled over, and she held it in her hands and played with it gently. That feeling...well, at least it's more interesting than a TV show.

"Ryan, my hair just got a maintenance." Nicole glared at him, but Ryan didn't care at all and muttered, "Don't be so stingy, Nicole."

Nicole rolled her eyes and moved closer to Ryan so that he could pull more hair, and sighed inwardly. As long as he is happy.

Voices from outside the living room sounded. It seems to be the voice of Lisa talking to Scott. Then, in the sound of dense footsteps, the little girl with messy golden curly hair that seemed a little too lively rushed into the living room, and saw the doll in Nicole's hand at a glance.

"Mine! This is... mine!" Tyler was not polite at all.

He rushed over and grabbed 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 Tyler, slow down, no one's going to snatch you."

Nicole quickly took one of her hands, for fear that the little guy would fall to the ground.

"Nicole, these... are my full text reading of the first village of the Tang Dynasty!"

Tyler gave Nicole a flattering smile, and she knew very well who was in charge of the family now.

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

"Taylor..."

Scott Swift came in at this time, looking at her overly lively daughter and having a headache.

"Hi, this way. Scott."

Since the troublemaker came in, Ryan has simply acted as an invisible person, and dealing with her is definitely a headache.

"Hello, Nicole, and Ryan." Scott sat opposite Ryan.

"Ryan... these are mine!" Ryan didn't want to talk to Tyler, but the little girl wouldn't let him go. This guy seemed to understand that he was a privileged class, "I want to listen to the guitar! Now!"

With this trick-or-treating bag here, it is difficult to talk about any serious business. Nicole understands that since Scott is here on the weekend, he must have serious business to talk about. The little girl went to the recreation room.

"Come back?" Ryan asked with a smile after the maid served coffee.

"Just got back from Richmond yesterday." Scott opened the briefcase, took out a document, and handed it over, "I hired two regular investigative agencies at the same time, and they spent a lot of time in San Rafael and Richmond. It took a long time to get this information.”

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

"Oh~ it seems that their situation is very bad." Ryan flipped through the document, most of the content in it was not what he could understand in his previous life, "It's worse than what I imagined and heard..."

Scott took over, "It's true, in the 1990s, in order to raise the cost of running the studio, they sold the hardware department, which also included dedicated hardware technology and image processing software, and from only a hundred Eighteen of its employees were laid off, and in order to save rent and expenses, the office was relocated from San Rafael to a single-story building in Richmond. In 1990, the net book loss was as high as $8.3 million. There should actually be more."

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

"In fact, their situation is even more difficult. Last year and this year, they laid off another 30 people, including President Chuck Costa, leaving only 42 people in the entire studio. to the number of people when it was originally created."

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

"So far, the actual loss in the first two quarters of this year has exceeded US$5 million. If nothing else, the loss for the whole year will reach a new high." Scott drank a cup of coffee and sighed in his words.

Ryan smiled contentedly, the harder the situation there, the better it would be for him, "Where are the few people I asked you to check?"

"John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton, Ed Kammer and others are still there, but if they continue to lose money, no one knows if they will resign or become the next layoff target."

With his arms around his chest, Ryan pinched his chin. If nothing else, these people will stick to it until the day they succeed.

"Ryan, are you really going to buy it?" Scott frowned, "No one in Hollywood or even the entire IT world is optimistic about them, I think you should have heard, that guy has been selling it, if not Microsoft refused. It's a $50 million offer. Now it's a Microsoft subsidiary."

"Also, although it is still unclear, its losses in 1991 should be more than 90 years, and even more than 10 million US dollars this year." Scott is obviously persuading.

"Not now." Ryan waved his hand casually, he didn't have that much cash now, "Where's Disney?"

"They signed a $26 million investment agreement. It is said that the funds have not arrived. There are huge differences in Disney's board of directors. I heard that Michael Eisner has regrets. He has never been very optimistic about animation. Making. Presumably it's not a secret..."

That's the most annoying part. Ryan rubbed his forehead. How can we get Disney to walk away from the deal?

Of course, this needs to be said after the thing is obtained. If "The Lion King" will be as successful as the previous life, it may be an opportunity. After all, this movie pushed Disney animation to its peak, making most 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 interests, it must be able to impress Michael Eisner and the board of directors of Walt Disney.

"Okay, Scott, help stare over there, and..." Ryan frowned. Not having money is really a big issue, "how much money do we have right now."

"There's not much cash flow unless you sell your holdings of stocks and fixed assets."

"This... let's forget it." After a few years, Scott managed to absorb some stocks from the stock market. Isn't it a fool to sell at this time. Ryan thought for a moment and said, "There should be a large amount of money in the account early next year..."

Indeed, next year, there will be not only the royalties of this year's novel market, but also the dividends of the album "Ryan Jenkins". In addition, the overseas box office of "Bodyguard" and "Righteous Sea Heroes" and the surrounding shares have not The partner settles the settlement. If the funds are still not enough, they have to go to the bank to borrow.

With his and Nicole's credit, there shouldn't be much of a problem with a loan of $100 million to $20 million.

When the money is used up, I hate it less! Ryan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, why he didn't have the spirit of the protagonist, just went to the stock market and rolled around, and he got hundreds of millions or even billions of funds?

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

Near noon, the father and daughter of Scott Swift were sent away, and Ryan fell into thinking again. This investigation was conducted through other companies hired by Scott, which was inconvenient and easy to leak information. Are you going to sponsor or set up such a company?

"Ryan, what do you want to eat?" Nicole came over at this time.

"Whatever, as long as you do it, I like it."

Seeing Nicole Kidman, Ryan suddenly remembered the divorce case in her previous life, in which Tom Cruise hired a notorious Italian. Although the method was disgraceful, it was extremely practical.

For a long time, Nicole has starred in all the works related to him, and the huge benefits he can bring to the producers has made Nicole almost never made things difficult. After all, no one will oppose the green money.

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

Whether it is now or in the future, Ryan is very clear that he can't 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. means……

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

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

Of course, Ryan has the memory of his previous life, and he naturally knows where the bottom line of certain things is. He won't touch it, otherwise he will play himself in prison like that Italian, which will be sad...
