Before getting into the car, Ryan shook hands with the two of them one by one and said goodbye, "I will tell the people below to contact DreamWorks Animation Studio as soon as possible to start negotiations on investment and shares."

"Then we will wait for your good news."

Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg, who left in separate cars, had smiles on their faces. They were able to find funds to revitalize DreamWorks Animation Studio, and Ryan agreed to write the script by himself. This trip was completely achieved the purpose.

After the two giants of DreamWorks left, Ryan asked the driver to start the car. He was very interested in being able to get involved in DreamWorks Animation Studio.

You know, DreamWorks Animation Studio in the previous life was an animation giant second only to Pixar Studio.

With David Fincher, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Steven Spielberg in the big three, it is impossible for him to get a controlling stake, and he is very satisfied to be a major shareholder.

In this way, the three best animation studios in Hollywood in the past life will be deeply influenced by him.

Of course, the animation script he is talking about is definitely not "Finding Nemo" and "Kung Fu Panda", but "Shrek", which he bought a long time ago, this typical anti-Disney-style animation, the previous life is the animation work of DreamWorks A turnaround for the room.

Ryan is also a little curious. DreamWorks Animation Studio must have encountered almost a similar crisis in the past life. How did they get rid of it?

The DreamWorks Big Three, especially David Geffen, are indeed worth a lot of money. But they are more of a fixed property with relatively limited liquidity. He couldn't think of how the other party in the previous life resolved this crisis.

In fact, the current DreamWorks looks beautiful, but there are various crises hidden in the dark. The ambition of the Big Three is too big, and the stalls are too open. Any entertainment industry that can make money wants to get involved, but it lacks enough accumulation. , causing funds to be put on too many projects.

Especially their independent production of "Pearl Harbor". The production cost, which was close to $150 million, made many of DreamWorks' follow-up projects, such as "Band of Brothers", have to use financing to shoot. When DreamWorks Animation Studio suffered huge losses, their funds The chain is in danger of breaking.

Thinking of "Pearl Harbor", Ryan gradually had some related memories.

In the previous life, DreamWorks seemed to have received investment from other aspects. Unlike now, it was a completely independent production.

The reason why this happened, Ryan blamed himself for the reason. The "Cat and Mouse Game" and "Saving Private Ryan" he collaborated with DreamWorks far exceeded the previous DreamWorks movies of the same period. Perhaps it is these that further stimulate the ambitions of the Big Three.

However, that's fine. If they weren't having trouble with cash flow and encountered the catastrophe of the stock market, they wouldn't necessarily accept their investment.

Well... be sure to tell your team. Pay as little as possible to get more shares.

Although he has a good relationship with Spielberg. But friendship is friendship, and business is business.

As long as the top management reaches an agreement, more professional personnel will naturally take over the specific work. Ryan sat in the car and made several calls in a row so that the team below could follow up on the matter in time.

After entering July, the North American box office of "The Matrix 2" is trying to climb towards 200 million US dollars, and the global box office is also close to 400 million US dollars. According to the current development momentum, it seems destined to become the most popular movie at the box office this year.

"Hi, Scarlett."

On the way to pick up Taylor at Warner Records, Ryan dialed Scarlett Johansson's number, "Are you still in Scotland?"

"Yes, my role isn't over yet." Scarlett seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and Grid laughed twice, "Ryan, are you asking Nat?"

"Hmm." Ryan snorted softly.

"Nate is in a bad mood. If you go to see her, you have to be mentally prepared." Scarlett said a few words, and then said, "She is hiding in a villa in New York."

"Thank you, Scarlett."

Ryan is very clear about Natalie's whereabouts. He calls more to inquire about the mood of the girls in Long Island. "When you return to Los Angeles, I will treat you."

"No need." Scarlett said carelessly, "Just lend me your yacht for a party."

"no problem."

Not long after hanging up the phone, the car stopped in front of Warner's building, and the little girl who was muttering opened the door and jumped in.

"What happened, honey," Ryan asked after making a drive gesture to the driver.

"You can see for yourself." Tyler shoved a letter over, "boring and idiot, if you let me know who did it, I must make him look good!"

"What is this..." Ryan didn't open it, just looked at the envelope, after all, the privacy of the little guy should be respected.

"Love letter!" Tyler said through gritted teeth, "It's still the unsigned kind."

"Oh, Tyler has become a big girl, and there are already boys chasing..."

This kind of thing is so common in Los Angeles that Ryan didn't take it to heart at all, but laughed instead.

"Is it funny?" Those royal blue eyes looked over, and Ryan had to stop his laughter, "Okay, dear, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."

"Don't mention it to tomboys and chubby girls!" Tyler waved a small fist, then grabbed the letter and threw it into his bag, "Don't tell Mom and Dad when you get to New York! "

After reassuring the little girl, Ryan took her on a private jet and flew to the Big Apple, where X-Men was about to be released.

After getting off the plane, the car sent by Scott was already waiting outside the airport. Although he wanted to go directly to Long Island, Ryan still went to Wall Street first to send this gossip guy to his parents, and secondly to go to Wall Street. Discuss the following work with Scott.

It seems to be affected by the collapse of the IT myth, the whole Wall Street looks deserted, and the pedestrians who come and go look serious, as if they have just experienced the baptism of a huge disaster.

The stock market is ever-changing, and most of the time, those who lose the most are those small and medium-sized investors.

The people or groups that have made huge profits behind them will always appear calm and peaceful, and no one will take the initiative to jump on the water and become the target of public criticism.

Ryan's profits were distributed among several secret foundations. On the surface, his investment profits were not very impressive.

"Okay, dear, I finally returned you intact."

Seeing the Swift couple, Ryan just sighed, and the little girl's voice was dissatisfied, "Dear Ryan, am I a big trouble in your eyes?"

Is not it?

Ryan didn't say anything. Although the little guy caused him a lot of trouble, it was still his sister.

"We're multiplying accounts and slowly eating into Disney stock."

After Taylor was taken away by Mrs. Andrea, Scott talked about his recent work, "The new financing plan of Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures has been completed, and several Jewish groups that have been in close contact with us have promised to When necessary, we will support our plan.”

Although the shares in Pixar Studios and Jenkins Pictures have been diluted to less than 50%, Ryan is not very worried, after all, he is still the largest shareholder.

If you want to get something, you have to pay a corresponding price. He is very clear about this. How can it be possible to get the Disney shares in the hands of those people without paying a certain price?

"What about the rest?" Ryan asked again.

"Everything is going according to plan." Scott seemed very confident, "Trust me, Ryan, as long as we don't have problems internally, even if Michael Eisner drags the whole Disney crazy, we still have enough means and capital payable."

Ryan nodded. After several months of observation, Walt Disney's board of directors showed the unity and efficiency of the early and mid-1990s. Common interests bound them together, and there was only one goal-- Pixar Studios!

"Ryan, we can't hold our funds in our hands." Scott raised the question about investment again, "I remember you mentioned last time, the next step is the IT industry?"

"That's right." Ryan gently clasped the armrest of the sofa and said unhurriedly, "After this blow, the IT myth has been shattered, but computers and the Internet have long become impossible in our lives and work. Part of the division, and within a few years, the industry will show great vitality again.”

After a few simple words, Ryan believes that with a little reminder, Scott, who is far more professional than himself, will come up with a more detailed analysis.

After hearing Scott say a few more questions about Google, Ryan directly stated the next step, "eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, and Apple, Scott, staring at these companies, I believe you Will find the most suitable opportunity to sell, try to eat into their stocks."

Although there should be stocks that have risen sharply, Ryan can't remember much. It is difficult to re-buy Yahoo's stocks, but there are certainly many circulating in the market.

And without Steve Jobs, Apple, which is still booming, if I remember correctly, there will be several financing opportunities in the next few years, depending on whether it can get a foot in it.

As for eBay and Amazon, Ryan doesn't know much about it. He only knows that it was a very good IT company. It seems that the market value has exceeded 100 billion US dollars. With the current situation, it should not be special to buy some shares from their shareholders. difficult thing.

Opportunities like this will become less and less in the future. When he left Wall Street, Ryan also told George to let Garcia pay attention to video websites, which is one of the most important components of the future entertainment industry.

When it comes to the impact on the film industry's earnings, Youtube can beat Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB ten streets.

Out of Manhattan, the car drove on the same road to Long Island, and Ryan's goal was Natalie's residence on the island.
