Best of Hollywood

In the next period of time, Ryan became free and had almost nothing to do except editing a promotional video.

"Chain Saw" was released at the end of August, and it is only the beginning of June, which means that it will be released for more than a month.

The promotion of the film naturally needs to be postponed, and it is best to focus on more than a week before the release.

The reason is very simple. There will be a lot of blockbuster movies in the upcoming summer vacation. With the promotional expenses of "Chain Saw", if it is not concentrated, there will be no splash at all.

"Forrest Gump" will be released on July 6, "The Lion King" will be released on June 15, and "True Lies" will be released on July 15.

The popularity of this year's summer vacation has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The focus of the media and the public is on these commercial blockbusters. Premature publicity will only waste the only funds.

At the same time, the publicity expenses that Ryan was going to pay out of his own pocket were not wasted on TV stations, newspapers, magazines, weekly magazines, and film critics, but were invested in movie theaters and video rental stores.

About two weeks before the film was released, promotional posters were posted on a large scale, and movie theaters in downtown locations were selected to play promotional videos.

The above publicity will be launched in mid-August, which means that for a long time to come, Ryan can completely relax.

According to his temperament, once he is free, he has to stay at home and continue to write scripts, and take the lead to fill the number of scripts in the studio.

However, Helen had other plans, and brought Ryan to Mamgomery County in Pennsylvania, saying that she was here to meet someone.

It was Scott-Kingsley-Swift who had met once, the father of the famous Taylor-Swift in his previous life.

As for Sophia, she went to visit the crew of "Kiss of Death", and asked her cousin about the progress of the new script by the way.

Of course, Ryan didn't come here to see Taylor Swift Jr., but he is currently missing a stockbroker.

There are millions of dollars in his account, and he can't keep it in the bank waiting for depreciation, and it is foreseeable that a large amount of money will arrive in the account. The best way is to invest it as soon as possible.

Looking at the farm not far away, Ryan had a long-lost feeling, as if he had returned to his hometown in memory, Texas.

But the farm in front of him is only 11 acres in size, which is much smaller than the farm in his memory.

"Hi, Miss Helen, Mr. Ryan, welcome to Christmas Tree Farm."

Swift came out to greet her from a distance, and behind her was Taylor Swift who looked like a fart.

The three briefly introduced each other.

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, what's your name?" Ryan asked as he stroked Taylor Swift's blond hair.

"Hi, Mr. Ryan, my name is Taylor Swift, you can call me Taylor." Taylor Swift replied very politely.

"Hi Little Taylor, this is a gift for you." Ryan took out a box of chocolates that he had prepared earlier and handed it to Taylor Swift.

"Thank you, Mr. Ryan." Taylor Swift said thank you first, and then took the chocolate.

Ryan rubbed Taylor's blond hair, and couldn't help sighing secretly, who would have thought that the little girl in front of him would set off a frenzy in the music world in the future.

Well, better get rid of the habit of writing your ex-boyfriend in your lyrics.

Swift smiled, and invited the two into the living room, and the next thing was to discuss about stock investment.

However, Ryan did not accept his suggestion, but invested in several companies in his memory, such as Apple, Marvel Comics, and Microsoft.

It's just a long-term investment, not wanting to get involved in this industry, otherwise you will be swallowed up to the bone if you are not careful.

For this,

Swift was very puzzled, "Mr. Ryan, with all due respect, Microsoft stock has always been favored by investors in the industry, and it is a very good investment choice."

"However, the year-end reports of Apple and Marvel Comics last year were not satisfactory. It is expected that the performance in the next few years will also hardly improve. It is not a good investment choice."

If Apple's performance is only unsatisfactory, then the performance of Marvel Comics is simply a mess.

Since 1991, a group of star painters such as Jim Lee and McFarlane quit Marvel Comics to start their own business and established Image Company.

Let Marvel Comics lose its most charismatic author.

In the early 1990s, the collectible value of comics and cards began to plummet. Between 1993 and 1994, comics sales dropped by around 50%, and hundreds of comics retailers went bankrupt.

Marvel Comics could only rely on selling copyrights to survive until the future 1996 when it officially declared bankruptcy.

It can be said that the situation of Marvel Comics is getting worse almost every day, and investors have long lost confidence in it.

Ryan didn't know what happened to Marvel Comics. He only knew that Hollywood twenty years later would belong to the world of superheroes. Whoever owns Marvel Comics is equivalent to owning an inexhaustible golden mountain.

"Although Apple's performance is not good, I believe that Jobs will return to Apple sooner or later, so what I invest in is not Apple, but the future Jobs."

"As for Marvel comics, I just love me personally. If possible, I might buy it when I have the chance." Ryan said half-jokingly.

"Well, Mr. Swift, I am very aware of the risks in this matter."

"Next Monday, I will call over 3 million US dollars to invest in the stocks of three companies."

Seeing this, Swift could only nod in agreement.

As for buying Marvel Comics!

Of course he wouldn't take it seriously, it was just a joke at best.

With the current performance of Marvel Comics, it may not be long before it will face bankruptcy. Who will buy a comic company that is about to go bankrupt.

After talking about business, it's time to enjoy the idyllic scenery.

The Christmas tree farm is very different from ordinary farms. The design is very characteristic. It is more like an amusement park, without flocks of cattle and sheep, and more with various entertainment facilities.

Refused to be accompanied by Swift, the two walked leisurely in the farm, enjoying the rare natural style.

Helen took a deep look at Ryan, and said, "You just said you bought Marvel Comics, are you really planning to do so!"

In the eyes of investors, Marvel Comics may only be a comic book company that is about to go bankrupt.

But in the eyes of many Hollywood film companies, it is a new attempt. Otherwise, with the shrewdness of Hollywood film companies, they would not have bought the copyright of Marvel Comics superhero characters.

"I don't have that much money, and I can predict that Marvel Comics will be a money loser for a long time."

"As for investing in Marvel comics, it's just my personal hobby." Ryan didn't admit or deny it.

Before the computer special effects technology matured, Marvel comics had no value at all.

"I hope so." Helen didn't press on.
