America’s Road To Fame

At the same time, William Chen gave Nielsen several targets to start preparing for acquisitions now, including Tesla, Netflix, Facebook, Marvel and Reddit.

Among them, Reddit collects information in advance, and will make acquisitions after the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out. The rest of Tesla, Chennai, Facebook and Marvel will try to acquire some shares first.

William Chen also knew that it would be cheaper to acquire shares or invest in shares after the subprime mortgage crisis broke out. But for a company, unless the funds are very tight and it is unsustainable; or when it needs to develop and urgently needs funds. Otherwise, in the face of investors, the priority of acceptance depends on the resources the other party can provide.

If you just want to join by waving the banknotes, then it depends on whether the other party is willing to accept it. It's like Gared was able to spend a lot of money to buy Chen William's shares in Building 666, but Chen William didn't sell it, and he had no choice.

And at this time, their shareholders will have an advantage over outsiders who break in. This is why many companies first invest in shares, take a certain share, and then gradually complete the acquisition of the company.

There are many such examples. Just like in William Chen’s previous life, many of Alibaba’s acquisitions were first made as shareholders, and then wholly acquired at an appropriate time.

Garred also had this idea before. He saw that William Chen refused to sell his shares in Building 666, and learned that William Chen's financial situation was very poor, and he took the risk of investing in mortgage real estate loans, so he bought it first. The remaining 40% shares are ready to take his shares when he is in deep financial crisis. It's just that his wishful thinking was wrong, and he was now in a dilemma.

Therefore, William Chen's purpose was to enter these companies by buying stocks or investing in shares before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out. In this way, after becoming a shareholder of the company, you will be able to understand more about the operation of these companies.

After the crisis broke out, if these companies were affected by the crisis, had financial problems and urgently needed capital investment, William Chen would be able to hunt for the bottom and buy them at a very favorable price or obtain more shares.

Of course, William Chen has also thought about it. In this world with many changes, can these companies really still develop into giants like in his previous life?

Chen William has already conducted investigations before, and the companies he chooses now are all in related industries and are currently in a leading position. His principle is to invest in the entire track when there is enough money.

Therefore, he will not sit back and relax after investing in these companies, and will continue to observe. If there are other competitive companies in this industry, he will also conduct follow-up investigations and choose investment as soon as possible; and he can also use his own Experience from past life memories to help these companies grow, make sure they are on the right path and avoid mistakes.

After instructing these things, William Chen also received a call from Uncle Tom. After a period of time, William Chen asked him to find a director for the movie "Magic Mike", and finally made some progress.

Now, for the movie "Magic Mike" in the hands of William Chen, both the script and the director's split script have been created, and it's time to start production.

Tom said on the phone: "According to your request, I contacted Stephen first. After reading the script, he was still more interested in the film. But there is one thing you may be disappointed with, that is Steven. , he didn't even watch your director's script."

"His intention is very clear. If the movie is shot by him, then he asks him to decide everything, and he won't make movies according to other people's split scripts. That's not his style."

When William Chen got the movie "Magic Mike", it marked the original director and starring role of the movie, and the director was Stephen Soderbergh.

Therefore, when William Chen arranged for Uncle Tom to find a director, he hoped that he would first try to invite Stephen Soderbergh to be the director of the film.

Now it seems that his idea is doomed to fail. It's normal to think about it, after all, Mr. Stephen is now a well-known director. Open Google, enter the director's name directly, and you can easily find his resume:

Steven Soderbergh, 46 years old. He rose to fame in 1989 when he won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival for his debut film *Lies and Videotape. At 26 years old, he was the youngest recipient of the award.

And so far, the more famous films he has directed are "Strategist", starring: George Clooney, Jennifer Lopez; "Never Compromise", starring: Julia Roberts; "Eleven Arhats" , starring: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and other Hollywood actors; there are two sequels to "Eleven Arhats"...

It can also be seen from these resumes that Steven Soderbergh has already made a name for himself at this time. Naturally, he will not take William Chen, a famous Hollywood movie maker and prodigal, in his eyes. How could he agree to follow his director? How about a split-shot script? So he didn't even watch the director's split script that came with the script.

William Chen's original idea was that the movie "Magic Mike" was originally the work of Steven Soderbergh, so if he himself made the film, the picture and composition of the movie would be closer to the original, and the box office of the natural movie would be will be more assured.

But at this time, it seems that his own ideas are still a bit naive, and the line is like a mountain. Such a well-known director will not care about the views of a young man who has not achieved much in the film and television industry.

In this case, William Chen can only use another plan. He also wouldn't rest assured that he would just hand over the script to Robert Soderbergh and let him do it himself. After all, Hollywood is still a producer-centered system, although for Chen William, Robert will ask for all the rights of the crew.

But the original movie was produced by Warner Bros., one of the six major Hollywood studios. At that time, he might not be able to get the most important editing rights. Therefore, it is not impossible for him to make a movie based on William Chen's script in this world. very big difference. This kind of director must have his own arrogance, how could he be willing to shoot it according to the script.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it is better to find a director who can be controlled to make this movie. Thinking of this, William Chen asked, "What about other directors? Are there suitable candidates?"

"That's exactly what I want to tell you, I found a director named Andy Haring who had only one small-production love movie before, but the response was not bad. Besides, he also did He has also worked as an advertising director and filmed two TV series. The most important thing is that he completely accepts your request, that is, to shoot strictly according to the script and sub-shot script, and give up the final editing rights of the film.”

Since it was recommended by Tom, William Chen believes that Andy Haring should still have some ability, and he is so cooperative, William Chen is still willing to try: "I will meet him at an appointment time, Uncle Tom, you can give him some money first, let him choose a short story from the script, shoot a scene, and I will see if he is satisfied."

"Okay, William, I'll inform him now. In addition, the matter you mentioned before about changing the name of the film company has been completed. Your film company has been renamed Future Pictures."

William Chen had already told Tom about changing the name of the film company, mainly because it really couldn't be changed, otherwise it would definitely become William Chen's black history.

It turned out that his predecessor was a fan of Bruce Lee, so when he founded the film company, he hoped to use Bruce Lee's English name BruceLee as the company name.

But this kind of star's name will definitely not work as a company name, and you will definitely be accused. Therefore, William Chen's predecessor had an idea and used the initials of BruceLee as the company name and named it BL Film and Television Company... Uh, this name is too shameful, why did you make such a hasty decision without checking what the acronym has meaning?

Therefore, after thinking about this, William Chen quickly asked Uncle Tom to help him change the name of the film company to a more normal name. In the future, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com reluctantly. Anyway, in a hurry, he could not think of it for a while. Better name.

…

So far, William Chen's course progress is close to completion. After that night, his relationship with Erica not only did not progress, but also regressed significantly. When the two got along, they lost the subtle feeling they had before.

This made him a little depressed, and he couldn't figure out what Erica was thinking. It seemed that she just wanted to maintain this normal teacher-student relationship with William Chen.

In terms of the names of the two people, Chen William still habitually called her "Mr. Erica", but she no longer called Chen William "Student William" as before, but directly called him "William" . The feeling to William Chen is that she is using this change of title to remind herself of the change in the relationship between the two.

"William, you have basically completed all the courses you should study. In the next two days, I will use the courses you have learned before to test your learning results. If the test score can exceed A, then Then there is no problem in passing the entrance examination for the master of economics in our school, although in your case there is no such test at all."

Erica said to William Chen after finishing today's class.

"Okay, Mr. Erica." After Chen William responded, seeing her getting up and preparing to leave the study, he stopped her and said to her, "Do you have time now? I want to discuss something with you."

"If it's something unrelated to study, I hope I can talk about it after the study is over." Erica got up, glanced at William Chen and said.

"Also, but there are still two days left. I hope to have a good talk with you then."
