Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Latest URL: "Hello? Minahan? I've already left. Sorry, I couldn't see you this time."

In the luxury car going to the airport, Ronald received a call from Minahan. He didn't receive the invitation, so he rushed to the party scene when he got the news. Ann leaves.

"Quack, it's okay. I just wanted to meet and chat with you. My recent resignation from Cannon has been announced, and now no one in Hollywood wants to talk to me" Minahan Gran is now five again A nobody from years ago.

However, his mentality has also become normal. Make a small investment, make some weird B-level movies, and sell them to Europe. While this kind of business allowed him to earn a little money, it also allowed him to regain his original intention of making movies, and he became much happier.

"I'm going to New York to meet with people from the NYPD to identify... Yes, have you heard? You want to see me? Now? Oh, I will wait at the airport for takeoff. If you are free, we will still have time to meet."

"Okay, I'll go... quack"

"Ronnie, I found that you are very kind to old friends. Many people don't want to see Minahan Gran now, and only deal with his cousin Yoram." Diane smiled and put his arms around Rona De's arm said.

"Minahan actually sticks to his strategy of exploitative films, and he won't go bankrupt. It's just that he suddenly got hundreds of millions of funds, and he doesn't know what he wants to do..." Ronald felt that he was split from Cannon now, and said Not sure or a good thing.

There were not many people in the airport, Ronald was sitting in the VIP lounge watching TV, waiting for Minahan to come over.

"Chorando se foi quem um dia só me fez chorar

Chorando se foi quem um dia só me fez chorar”

There was a girl in the terminal who tuned the TV to a channel. His father came over and nodded to Ronald to apologize, and was about to tune back to the CUU news station, but Ronald was fascinated by the enthusiastic dance above, and gestured for him not to tune the channel.

"Chorando estará ao lembrar de um amor

Que um dia no soube cuidar”

The MV shoots the scenery of a tropical island. A Brazilian-looking female singer in a yellow dress is singing, and men and women are dancing a very exotic, passionate dance.

"What's the name of this song?" Ronald murmured.

Although the music is very Brazilian, it is not the rumba that Brazilians are famous for. Unlike the large number of knee movements of the rumba, this dance focuses on the crotch of men and women sticking together, which is more like an indigenous dance with a Latin style.

"I don't know, it seems to be Portuguese..." Diane couldn't understand either, but she recognized that it was a good song. Following the rhythm, she learned the dance on TV and slowly jumped up, and invited Ronald Together.

"Hahaha..." Ronald also faced her crotch, and slowly learned to jump up. They are both from the entertainment industry, and the two of them danced well. The girl who changed the channel was stunned and applauded them.

"What's the name of the song?" Ronald asked her.

"Called Lambard..."

"Lombarda...Lombarda...", Ronald hurriedly found a notebook and wrote it down. The MV was shot to a certain level, in addition to the lively dance and the plot. A black kid works in a beach bar and wants to dance too. The white shopkeeper's daughter also looked at him, and the two dancing souls collided together.

Although the Caucasian shopkeeper didn’t like the fact that his daughter was so young, he danced this highly suggestive dance with others, but after the female singer invited him to dance the rumbada together, his old-fashionedness was melted by the dance, and everyone danced enthusiastically together .

"If I was still new to the industry, I would adapt this MV into a movie..." Ronald said to Diane in his arms while watching the TV. This three-minute-long MV has foreshadowing, ups and downs, leading roles and supporting roles, and a very good happy ending. It is sure to be a hit when it is remade into a movie.

"What movie, what dance? Ronald what movie are you talking about? Ah!"

Just arrived, the fat and panting Minahan happened to hear what Ronald said, so he hurried up to ask for clarification. When he and Ronald took off, they relied on a "break dance".

"Lombarda..." Ronald handed him the name. Of course, he knew the purpose of Minahan's visit. It was nothing more than looking for Ronald to cooperate again. Now it happened to come across this pop music with great potential. Maybe he could repeat it. What about the success of "Breakdancing" back then?

"Quack quack..." Minahan watched the music on the other side of the station (many music videos on the station are played repeatedly). Although he has some production skills, he still has a good vision. He does it together.

"Hurry up and negotiate the copyright of the adaptation!" Ronald stopped Minahan, who was already twitching his butt in joy, "There are not too few people with discerning eyes, and now this MV is so popular, you will be in trouble if you are one step late... ..."

After seeing off the contented Minahan, Ronald and Diane flew to New York on a business jet.

It was already the next morning when we arrived at the airport in New York, and Douglas Jr. and Donna were already waiting there.

"How many days are you going to stay here this time?" Donna whispered while hugging her childhood friend Diane. Wait for bodyguard Dan to check the vehicle and exit.

"This time I'm mainly here to accompany him. I can't stay for a few days. I'll go back and do an audition soon..."

"How...how are you?" Donna gestured to Diane with her eyes.

"Hey...it's still the same..." Dai Anxin said that your brother hasn't said anything yet.

"Do you still remember the gift we gave him back then? Give it again this time to remind him of what happened back then?" Donna still really wanted Diane to marry Ronald, at least to become an open girlfriend.

"And you? How are you?"

"Hmm..." The two muttered to discuss things.

Douglas Jr. was also discussing with Ronald, "Thomas Stephenson Jr., the young man of the Hollywood theater chain, came to inspect our movie theater on Staten Island. He asked me if I wanted to take a share. His Hollywood theater chain is now expanding its scale." ..."

"Continue to buy movie theaters? I would like to, but those old-fashioned movie theaters don't make much money and need to be maintained... It would be nice to build some new ones..."

"The newly built ones are all multi-hall ones, and the investment is huge..."

"You don't understand, multiplex cinemas have a high turnover rate, but they are actually cheaper..."

"How are you and my sister?" Ronald finished talking about business, and looked at Little Doug again. No one dared to talk about his own affairs, but he was not happy that little Doug had informally established a relationship with Donna.

"I'm very willing, but Donna has something I want to do recently, and I'm still hesitating. I don't want to confuse these two things..." Little Doug seemed a little distressed. Donna was selling him an investment recently, and he didn't want to confirm the relationship between the two at this time, otherwise it seemed that Donna would exchange something.

"You kid still..." Ronald grabbed his neck and used a wrestling technique.

"Hey, hey..." Little Doug immediately got rid of it, then turned over and twisted Ronald's collar.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" Donna said loudly when she found out.

"Ah, it's okay, I will compete with Ronald to see who has better wrestling skills..."

"Ah, that's right..." Ronald glanced at little Doug, he still respects Donna. It's really possible that he didn't want to have any money problems with Donna and be criticized by his family.

His sister can't suffer like this, Ronald thought to himself, I'll pay for the money.

...

"There are photos of suspects in it. Please watch carefully, recall slowly, and tell me if you are sure..." A detective was showing Ronald a large book of photos.

Ronald pointed out a black man whose red eyes impressed him deeply.

"Okay, thank you. Next thing..."

"Next, you can talk to me. My client is a respected and busy Hollywood director..." Attorney Lindsay negotiated with him.

"Tell me, what investment is it?"

Ronald dragged Donna who came to play with Diane, and walked aside to chat with her in private.

"What investment?" Donna played dumb.

"Stop pretending, Doug told me..." Ronald patted Donna's head.

"This idiot..." Donna cursed angrily. She also stopped pretending and told Ronald all the ins and outs.

It turned out that Donna's boss, Mr. Simmons, had suffered large losses from last year to this year in his Renaissance Fund.

The algebraist Professor James Akers who helped him make the model at the beginning refused to admit that there was a problem with the model and continued to operate. By the end of last month, the cumulative loss had exceeded 40%. Simmons used the power of major shareholders to end his cooperation.

Although Simmons's mathematical talent is not top-notch, his vision is still there. He can see that it is a flaw in the Akers model, and he will regard noise as a signal under certain conditions. He brought in another mathematician, Erwin Berlekamp of Berkeley, to help him patch the hole.

The new model has been adjusted this time, and Simmons has to deal with a large number of shareholders withdrawing, so he has to apportion the investment quota to employees. Those who invest one million dollars can become qualified buyers. Those who invest five million U.S. dollars can become qualified investors and enjoy priority rights.

Donna's own previous investment, plus what Ronald lent her, has fallen a lot, plus some of her own savings, and her mother's money, just enough for one million dollars. She hoped that her future husband would take advantage of this rare opportunity and pay five million to become a major client.

She looked at the performance of Simmons' model all the way, and knew that if it weren't for this loophole, the return rate last year would have exceeded 40%, so she was full of confidence in the future. But what she didn't understand was that the rest of Doug's family didn't see her as rich.

"Hahaha, I will pay for this money, half of it is I lent you, and half is my investment." Ronald said to Donna with a smile.

"Thank you..." Donna was very happy, but she was still bitter about her boyfriend.

"It's the right thing for him to do. If you have wealth comparable to his, then all doubts will disappear..." Ronald said about Doug's concerns. In fact, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Let Doug make money. It's better to let Donna make money by herself.

Donna suddenly realized.

"Don't be like this, Doug still loves you and doesn't want your reputation to be slandered..." Ronald patted her head.

"By the way, Diane is coming today, and we have to give you a gift. Do you remember the gift that she and I bought for you?" Donna quickly adjusted her mood, and Ronald was right. As long as Doug loves himself, it's the same for Donna to make money by herself.

"Of course I remember..." Ronald pointed to the computer in the room. The "Word Star" software used to write the script was given by the two of them back then.

...

"Ronnie, this is a gift from me and Donna..." Diane came after a while, and she took out a wrapped floppy disk and handed it to Ronald.

"Thank you..." Ronald hugged her happily, thinking of all the past events, it was pleasant.

"Try it?" Diane still admires people who can write scripts.

Ronald pulled out a floppy disk that said "Microsoft Word for Windows."

"This shortcut key doesn't work..." Ronald typed, and realized something was wrong. This new software was different from the character star he was used to in many places.

"Isn't this very simple?" Diane understood. She stretched out her hand to hold the mouse, selected a piece of text, and clicked Copy to copy it.

"Huh? How did you do it?"

"The people who bought things said that? If you can use a mouse, you can use it..."

"Huh?" Ronald looked at Diane, thinking that this software is very cheap to learn. Anyone can use it?

Unlike me, who is a character star, I can typeset and type very quickly after I am proficient, and my writing and thinking are like a spring, pouring on the screen non-stop. But to learn dozens of commonly used shortcut keys, you must be familiar with them for a month or two.

It seems that this Word is very suitable for ordinary people to use. They don't need to study, they can use it after typing.

After the two got bored for a while, Ronald went to turn on the TV. Major channels are continuing to track and report on the Central Park jogger case.

The poor lady has regained consciousness. The NYPD said it would interview her when the situation allowed. Originally, the doctor judged that her recovery was slim. But the surprise is that this lady is very strong. After waking up, the detection and conviction of this case can be greatly accelerated.

Ronald looked at the pictures of the hospital on the TV, feeling more and more uncomfortable. Quickly changed the station.

"Berkshire Hathaway of Omaha disclosed that it has acquired a large number of shares of Coca-Cola and has become the latest major shareholder. Mr. Buffy, the chairman of the company, revealed that the total share capital has reached 1.024 billion US dollars."

Finally announced?

Ronald watched the news with a smile. The average price of Buffett's holdings is 15 times earnings. Because I bought it early, the average price is even lower. Although it is only one-fifteenth of the number of Buffett's shares, it is still a considerable fortune.

Besides, his acquisition news was announced today...

Ronald looked at the subtitles scrolling at the bottom of the screen, and today's Coca-Cola stock price rose accordingly. A day's income is almost enough to pay for Donna's investment.

"Hahaha……"

"What are you laughing at?" Diane didn't know why.

"I like to drink Coca-Cola..."

"Hmph..." Knowing that Ronald would not speak, Diane took off her shoes, sat on the sofa and pressed against Ronald tightly.

Ronald stroked Diane's waist slowly, thinking about his own thoughts.

At the end of last year and the first quarter of this year, my box office share has also arrived. In addition to investing 4 million in Donna and partnering with Doug to build some new movie theaters, what should I do with the extra 50 million in cash income?

There is no need to pay a lot of money for a few films that are confirmed to be invested. Anyway, there are people who follow the investment, so I only need to invest a few million. If you continue to buy Coca-Cola, it will be a little late. The price has risen too much today, and Buffy will not say hello to himself.

What should I buy? Ronald saw the outer packaging of the software Word that Diane gave him on the table.

Why? If you don't buy some Microsoft, it's okay, this kind of software must be used by many people. Ronald has filmed "Working Girl" and knows that many secretaries have never learned Text Star. With this software, at least all secretaries have to buy it, right?

"How much is this software for you? Honey." Ronald asked.

"498..." Diane kissed Ronald, and this little gift seemed to work well.

"So expensive? So what are you waiting for?" Ronald jumped up and called his accountant, "Just buy this stock!"
