Chapter 155: Negative lesson

Nasdaq can be described as crazy, even driving the Dow Jones Index to skyrocket. Anyone who is sane can see that the situation is abnormal.

A shrewd person like Scott who is still investing in the stock market, can't you see the problem?

I am afraid that many people know that this bubble is getting bigger and bigger, but they all hold the idea that someone will come to pick up the dish and make a fortune before the bubble burst.

Frankly speaking, it would be difficult for Ronan to say what choice he would make if he had not had the advantage of foresight.

Fortunately, he didn't touch stocks in his previous life, and he still had self-control.

Ronan also kept reminding himself that it is fine to play with financial drugs occasionally and must not be addicted.

On the second day after the Scott’s visit, Ronan found Judith and went through the repayment procedures for a personal loan of 3 million US dollars. After the first implementation in Abu Dhabi, he borrowed 3 million US dollars in his personal name. , Invested in the stock market, because this was the first capital to enter the market. After paying off the loan, there was still nearly 10 million dollars in earnings of 3 million dollars.

Other investments are made in the name of the company, and the stock market income is also transferred to the theory of relativity. Ronan currently has a full control of the theory of relativity entertainment. It only needs Mary to go through a few legal procedures to withdraw funds, which is not troublesome.

Ronan is waiting for the stock market to crash, waiting for Nasdaq to drop to a certain level, and then buying some stocks of companies that have developed well later, and then they can hold them for a long time.

Even if there is a problem with the relativity entertainment in the future, he can be invincible personally, at least being a rich man is fine.

Wealth is very important to anyone.

Don't talk about the old and American commercial countries, the famous twenty-four-word motto on the other side of the Pacific, rich and strong ranked first!

Anyway, how can you be strong if you are not rich? If it is not strong, how can the follow-up lumbering and the like start?

Think about it, if Leonardo DiCaprio is not rich, can he use Victoria's Secret Angels as a harem? She often changed long-legged female partners, and the female partners who broke up hardly said anything bad about Leonardo. Later, the metoo was so violent and Leonardo didn't have any shit, which fully illustrates the importance of wealth.

The stock market is going up crazy. Ronan reminded Scott once again, but Scott didn't care at all. There is nothing to do with this kind of thing. No matter how loud the voice is, he can't wake up and pretend to be asleep.

Ronan is even more unlikely to have a phone call every day to remind others to flee the stock market, and this matter was thrown aside by him. After all, there is still a lot of work to be done.

Embassy Pictures has begun licensing negotiations with several companies with overseas distribution capabilities, and is preparing to sell the overseas copyrights of "Ace Agent" and "Death Is Coming".

Robert Lee and Danny Donald left Los Angeles and began to inspect the preparations of offices in Australia.

Ronan participated in several meetings of the Finance Department, and Mary, who was promoted to Chief Financial Officer of Relativity Entertainment, is also leading people to improve the accounts of the two films.

"Ace Agent" completely follows the law and industry regulations, and try not to give the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority a chance to prosecute.

Another film, "Reaper is Coming", is completely different.

Ronan is not going to go to Abu Dhabi to raise money again. Of course, he has the biggest profit for this lucrative movie.

Facing the benefits of Abu Dhabi's local tyrants, not only Ronan and Mary, but the company's financial staff are very courageous.

After coming to Los Angeles for two years, Ronan can say that he has a personal experience. Americans are habitually taking themselves very seriously, and at the same time, they don’t take other countries seriously.

At the same time, Andrew and James Huang’s agent reached an agreement. Ronan, on behalf of Shahai Entertainment, signed the director contract for "Human Removal Project 2" with James Huang.

There is only one film director contract. The sequel to "Reaper is coming" can't be negotiated. Edward and James Huang insisted on completing the "Human Removal Project 2" to discuss.

James Wong directed two consecutive films with great success, so naturally he has more confidence than Paul Greengrass.

Facing a worthy and successful director, Ronan could not be too forced, but also to consider the future cooperation, Andrew and Edward discussed about the salary, so he nodded in agreement.

James Huang’s new film remuneration is divided into two parts, the basic remuneration is 2 million US dollars, and the subsequent net profit is divided into 5%.

The total budget of "Human Removal Project 2" is only 6 million U.S. dollars. The basic salary of James Huang alone occupies one-third of the budget, which means that actors can only find non-star actors.

With the signing of the director contract by James Huang, the project was formally approved. Tom Cruise was very active and immediately asked his agent to negotiate a US$1.5 million investment with Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan is very trustworthy and cannot go back.

And his believable approach also won Tom Cruise's favor. Tom Cruise actively invited him to participate in the internal preview of "Mission Impossible 2".

Each "Mission Impossible" has its own characteristics, and this one is no exception. John Wu did not imitate the filming method of the first one. Both the shooting scenes and the racing scenes have a distinct personal style.

But what I have to say is that the old one was used on Pony Ma, used on John Travolta, used on Nicolas Cage, and now used on Tom Cruise. For someone like Ronan who has watched countless Wu-style gunfights, there is really nothing new.

How can there be no heroes to save beauty? How can there be no hot shootout? How can there be no slow motion? By the way, there are pigeons...

For a moment, Ronan felt like watching

It's not Tom Cruise, but Pony Ma.

There is no way, preconceived, the impression is too deep, and there are pigeons flying.

"Changing Face" is really Wu Baige's pinnacle work in Hollywood, this "Mission Impossible 2" is a bit worse.

may also be preconceived. Ronan always feels inferior to Nicolas Cage and John Travolta for Tom Cruise's performance in this film.

Thinking of the picture of "The Face Changing", Cage had a very melancholy face, as if many people owed him money, and they all owed him money, and Travolta was full of spring breeze, as if he owed Kai. Odd a lot of money just doesn't pay it back.

"how do you feel?"

The preview is over, Tom Cruise asked Ronan: "You have a good eye, help me see."

Ronan naturally said good things: "It's very exciting, the action design is very characteristic, and Ethan Hante is so charming. Tom, with your appeal, this movie will definitely sell well."

Tom Cruise smiled and said, "Introduce a few people to you."

He took Ronan to the middle of a bunch of executives from Paramount Pictures, the producer and distributor, and introduced Ronan one by one.

"Are you Ronan Anderson?" Shirley Lansing looked at Ronan in surprise: "Younger than I thought, you are the youngest Hollywood box office producer of 100 million yuan."

Ronan recognized this as the chief executive officer of Paramount Pictures, and said modestly: "It's much worse than Ms. Lansing."

This is not an exaggeration. Shirley Lansing is one of the most successful women in Hollywood. Later, the annual "Hollywood Women's Rights List" set up the "Shirley Lansing Leadership Award" named after her. ".

Ronan chatted with Shirley Lansing for a while, and it was not difficult to find out that Shirley Lansing admired Tom Cruise very much. After she stepped down, the relationship between Tom Cruise and Paramount took a sharp turn. Once publicly fell out.

Afterwards, Ronan left with Tom Cruise, accepted Tom Cruise’s invitation, and got in the same car with him, but he regretted it as soon as the car started, because Tom Cruise took a call and talked with someone. There was an argument, and judging by tone, the person on the other side of the phone was obviously Nicole Kidman.

"I'm sorry." Tom Cruise hung up the phone, and his good mood disappeared: "I made you laugh."

Ronan didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.

Tom Cruise said suddenly: "Marriage is terrible."

Ronan looked at him curiously, Tom Cruise seemed to be bored for a long time, and then said: "In the end, no matter how deep the initial love, the two can only hurt each other."

Ronan thought for a while, then said: "I'm an unmarried man."

Tom Cruise nodded: "It will save a lot of trouble in the future." He sighed and kept his eyebrows pinched: "Ronan, if only I could be as open-minded as you."

Ronan saw that Tom Cruise didn't seem to mind talking about these things with him, and tentatively asked: "Between you and Nicole?"

Tom Cruise said directly: "Unable to reconcile Ronan does not intend to comment on other people's family affairs: "I have never experienced marriage and don't understand this. "

Think about the divorce case in the previous life. Nicole Kidman broke out with Oscar-level acting skills and created the image of a victim. After becoming an ex-wife, his career did not go well within a few years, and he dragged Tom Cruise from time to time. When you come out to whip the corpse, words such as the favorite of your life are endless, and you get eyeballs and attention everywhere.

I really don’t know how her second husband felt.

Marriage is really the most terrible! Ronan is not difficult to sum up this point from Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

Especially for the rich, you must be careful when you get married.

Although property notarization can be done before marriage, what about property during marriage? Married and divorced, half of the property floated away, and alimony. Later, like Tom Cruise, he was dragged out by his ex-wife to whip the body. What is the favorite in his life, what is always unforgettable, I feel terrible to think about it.

Also, the speed at which Hollywood women change men is not slower than men change women. If you encounter a superb ex-wife, all kinds of waves, it is not terrible to describe.

Think about Nicole Kidman, and then think about Katie Holmes. Ronan became more determined and must take Tom Cruise as a negative lesson.

Just entering February, Ronan received a call and people from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority wanted to talk to him.
