The Harry Potter series requires a huge budget to support gorgeous post-production, and several series of films that are being prepared or have begun to be produced, including "Lord of the Rings", require huge cash flow to support, even if several series are co-produced.

Such huge amounts of funds, let alone Ryan and Jenkins Pictures, even media giants like Time Warner and Viacom will not be easy to take them out in a short period of time.

That's right, Ryan now has a net worth of billions of dollars, but most of it is stocks and real estate. It is undoubtedly very difficult to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in movies in the short term. Moreover, he also threw most of his working capital into the stock market. Now is the craziest time for IT stocks.

Despite the experience of previous lives, no one can guarantee that a movie that invests a lot of money will be 100% successful. If it is produced independently, in case of accidents, unless the shares are sold to cash out, the company under its name will face the risk of bankruptcy and then bring a series of adverse reactions.

There are many people waiting for him to joke about Hollywood, and some enemies are still waiting in the dark, and they will take the opportunity to run out and take a bite at any time.

Joint production is the best way to share risks and pressure and use interests to tie many partners together. No matter who is involved in it, it will face the counterattack of many giants. Even if the federal government wants to take action, it must be considered carefully.

The value created by the Harry Potter series in the previous life was definitely more than 10 billion US dollars, or even more. Ryan didn't mind accepting some of Warner's investments, but this is a business cooperation, and you have to pay the corresponding price if you want to get anything.

This is one of the most basic rules in the mall, and Time Warner has what he wants.

"Ryan Warner has great sincerity." Jeffrey Bicks tried his best to soothe his tone, and seemed not to want Ryan to have any misunderstandings. "Time Warner can provide you with support at any time, in any aspect."

"Okay, Jeff." Ryan nodded. "I accept Time Warner's investment, the old rules, you are stationed in financial supervision and must not interfere with the normal operation of the crew."

"We have always had a pleasant past cooperation, right?" Although it only accounts for one-quarter of the investment, Jeffrey Bicks is already very satisfied. Warner's investment team has long estimated that if there is no accident, this quarter of the investment will bring huge returns.

As for the risks? The person opposite him is definitely the greatest guarantee for the movies in the world to benefit from, and there is no need to worry at all.

"Jeff, I heard that Warner holds some shares in Disney?" Ryan suddenly asked.

"Yes. Not much." Jeffrey Bicks understood that it was time for Warner to pay the corresponding price. "I think this is not a secret in Hollywood."

Ryan nodded slowly. The top Hollywood groups held shares with each other to avoid excessively fierce vicious competition. It can be said that it is well-known in the circle. Although the shares held are limited, they have real interests.

"I will acquire two-thirds of your Disney shares at a price above the market price." Ryan slowly expressed his purpose.

"This requires discussion on the board of directors." Jeffrey Bicks was obviously in a dilemma. "The amount involved is too large, and I have no choice."

"Okay, please give me an answer as soon as possible." Ryan stood up.

"Sure." Jeffrey Bicks nodded solemnly.

It's really troublesome!

Walking towards the door, Ryan couldn't help but sigh that although the transaction did not involve many shares, the amount was enough to be hundreds of millions of dollars, which was one of the reasons for his tight cash flow.

As early as the 1980s, Time Warner held a small part of Disney's shares. If they were willing to transfer it, Ryan would have nearly three percent of the shares with voting rights. Putting aside those professional investment institutions and companies, he is considered a relatively large individual shareholder.

Ryan vaguely remembers that in his previous life, Walt Disney acquired Pixar Studios through cash and stock exchanges, and Steve Jobs became the largest individual shareholder with just a 6:00% stake.

Although Ryan is far from having a say in the Walt Disney Board of Directors with this share, since Michael Eisner does not want to reconcile and keeps making small moves, he is not a passive person and is preparing to give him a big gift.

It will be 1999 soon. If it goes well, a large amount of funds will be recovered. Many things such as equity are not impossible to buy. The main problem is the price. After returning from Europe, he has reached a consensus with the Jewish group on Wall Street. When necessary, he will give up enough benefits to gain the other party's support.

As soon as he walked out of the lounge, Ryan met a person with a headache. Paris Hilton, wearing a pink evening dress, waved to him through the crowd, and walked over with a middle-aged man.

"Hello, Mr. Hilton." Ryan was very polite. Seeing the other party's frown, he quickly changed his name, "Uncle Richard, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Ryan, long time no see."

Because of Paris Hilton's relationship, both parties met as early as the early 1990s. Richard Hilton said nothing that he had never thought that the child star he did not take seriously at that time had entered the same class with his own efforts. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his words.

"When I was so old, Ryan was still a bastard who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun." He changed his words and looked at his daughter. "What kind of personality is Pari? I, a father, know very well. Since she wants to develop in Hollywood, please take care of me."

Taking care of her? Ryan couldn't help scratching his head. With this pink fairy's personality, there might be something wrong with the future.

"Uncle Richard..."

Before Ryan could finish his words, Richard Hilton patted his arm gently, "That's it, Ryan, there are a few old friends coming in front of me. I have something to talk to them. I will visit you after a while."

Will human nature and nature change? If Ryan asked him to answer, he would definitely not.

Although he scared Rick Solomon away, only God knew whether the next one would appear, and with her character of playing and playing, she was enough to cause a lot of trouble.

"Don't look at me with this kind of eyes. I admit that sometimes I lack sufficient consideration in doing things, but it's much less trouble than the little guy around you."

Obviously, Paris Hilton noticed Ryan's strange eyes.

"Little guy? Which little guy?" Ryan couldn't help but be curious.

"Taylor Swift."

Hearing the other person's words popped up, Ryan quickly recalled it, as if it was true. Whether in school or in company, the blonde curly hair could only be described as lawless. Even the tomboy from the Stewart family was almost ruined by her.

"Just listen to Dad's words, don't take them to heart. I'm not a little brat like Taylor. I can take care of myself." Paris Hilton took the initiative to hold Ryan's arm and walked towards the corner of the banquet hall. "Do you still need social engagements? Let's find a place to rest."

Sitting at the corner table, Ryan looked her up and down and asked, "Didn't you go back to New York to go to school?"

This banquet will invite Richard Hilton, but this pink goblin is definitely not within the owner's consideration.

"I asked for leave from the school. The screenwriter Drew summoned has completely finished the first draft of the script. I need to have enough time to study the role." She suddenly smiled and waved her hand casually and said, "Don't worry, I donated a lot of money to the school. Graduation is not a problem."

"I learned this from you." She added.

"Where did you get the money?" Ryan still remembers that when he first met, this guy had just received a few hundred dollars in pocket money, and he would spend it clean for at most two hours. Moreover, she is not yet an adult, and her property cannot be held in her hands.

"I borrowed it." Paris Hilton calculated with his fingers, "Drew lent me 300,000 dollars, Nat lent me 200,000 dollars, Scar lent me 50,000 dollars, and I raised one million dollars and donated it to the school."

"Will Nat lend you money?" Ryan was very surprised. Natalie didn't like this guy at all.

"I know Nat doesn't like my personality very much, but we are friends who have known each other for almost ten years..."

Under Ryan's burning gaze, Paris Hilton had to stick out his tongue and tell the truth, "Scarlett said something for me."

She seemed to have accumulated a lot of words, "Ryan, will that "Thunder Angel" really become popular? Can I really become popular with this? I heard Drew say that those three months..."

"Kung Fu training." Ryan reminded.

"Yes, kung fu training will be very hard. If I can't hold on, can I..."

"No!" Ryan interrupted her without hesitation, "If you can't hold on, I'll make a substitution, and then ask George to send you back to New York and tell your father that you are not suitable for this profession."

Ryan doesn't want to train and shoot, the daughter of the daughter always causes trouble for the crew. With her identity and surname, as long as the filming is completed, it will be more attractive than Miss Lucy in her previous life. Maybe it can even drive a large amount of box office.

If he promised her to play, Ryan naturally considered many factors.

"Ryan, we are friends..."

"Pari, friendship is friendship, business is business." Ryan sang his knuckles and slowly knocked on the table, "We haven't signed a contract yet, it's not too late for you to withdraw now..."

"Who said I want to quit!" Paris Hilton lay pitifully on the table, "I just want some preferential treatment."

"Drew is the head of the crew, I will remind her..."

Ryan suddenly thought that hard training is a good way to strengthen people's will. Since he has intervened in this fairy's life, why don't he continue to try to make some changes?

"Dear, believe me, you will definitely enjoy the three months of training."
