hollywood angel investor

During this period of time, Yan Ruxin held a somewhat powerful position at the summit - the director of the production department.

The production department is the core department of a film production company. There are different levels of producers or production assistants in the department. It can be said that this is to make the film work change from an inspiration and an idea to a product that can be seen and touched. The place.

Producers may choose from many scripts, may directly contact screenwriters and directors to discuss inspirations, may also review raw films made by new directors, or have directors come directly to communicate with each other with scripts and works... Not in the same way.

When Yan Ruxin looked at it, she discovered many movies that could make money.

After "Twilight" confirmed her sense of the film market inherited from Angela, she had no doubt that with this ability, she would be omnipotent in Hollywood.

But for the original owner Angela, such talent made her dream of becoming a master director.

Yan Ruxin's ambition is not here. Even though she has the photography skills and directorial ability inherited from the original owner, she lacks the last and most important thing - inspiration.

Movies are very ceremonial products. Countless people gather in front of the movie theater like worship, pay for tickets, and experience what the whole movie wants to convey to people in the light and shadow of the big screen.

Maybe everyone's feelings are different, but a good movie will resonate with every audience, and even respect them.

And Yan Ruxin is not very good at this, so I can only say sorry to the original owner.

But she thought that investing in movies could still develop this talent...

During this period of time, she has negotiated the investment of two films, and three films are in the initial stage of contact.

The one that has entered the final stage of signing is the comedy film "The Hangover" produced and distributed by Time Warner and co-produced by Legendary Pictures, with a total investment of 3500 million US dollars, of which yacapital accounted for 30%.

The story told in the whole movie is a crazy story of a man having a single carnival before marriage. The magical development of the plot and the humorous lines are really attractive, and people can't help but laugh out loud.

Yan Ruxin herself doesn't like to watch this kind of comedy, but her keen market sense tells her that this movie has a good box office potential, so she participated in the investment without hesitation.

The second is "The Weakness", which is also co-invested by Yan Ruxin's ya capital and Time Warner. This is a movie based on a novel.The film is a typical chicken soup inspirational movie for the soul, telling the story of a homeless African-American boy, Michael Oheli, who went through a lot of hardships, found himself and became the first player selected by the National Football League.

A total of 3000 million budget, yacapital accounted for 30%.

The three films in contact are "Inglourious Basterds", "Fake Marriage" and "Julie and Julia".

"Inglourious Basterds" is a film by Quentin Tarantino. Quentin spent more than ten years writing the script of this play. This is a film about World War II. Yan Ruxin was not interested in it.

But after she got in touch with Quentin Tarantino and talked about the script, she couldn't stop.

It's not Angela's talent that makes her appreciate this movie, but the story is very attractive.

Yan Ruxin intervened, hoping that Summit Entertainment could become the production company of "Inglourious Basterds" and co-produce with Weinstein Films.

If it is successful, in addition to receiving 680 million funding from the German Federal Film Foundation, the rest of the investment will be jointly provided by Summit Entertainment, Weinstein Pictures and Ya Capital.

The total investment of "Inglourious Basterds" is about 7500 million US dollars, ya capital will probably account for [-]-[-]%, and the rest will be borne by Summit Entertainment and Weinstein Pictures. Of course, the contract has not yet been finalized. .

The fourth and fifth movies are "Fake Marriage" and "Julie and Julia", which are two movies that are very suitable for girls to watch.

When Yan Ruxin saw the script of "Fake Marriage", she thought it was a very interesting and romantic love story, and it was even more so when she looked closely at the twists and plots.

Maybe it's because the strong heroine in the play is in a similar state to Yan Ruxin herself. After watching it, she plunged into it and read a script as a novel. This is really a rare experience.

Because anyone who has read the script knows that the back and forth dialogues are really not interesting to outsiders.

Just looking at it, Yan Ruxin felt that she was very optimistic about this movie with a budget of 4000 million US dollars, and she was paying close attention to it.

And "Julie and Julia" is funny.

The screenplay for this film is adapted from "A Delicious Relationship: Julie and Julia" by Julie Powell and "My Years in France" by Julia Child.

It was after she took the two novels home that Marcos, who was full of cooking skills, read "My Years in France" with gusto, and she became interested.

You must know that although Yan Ruxin is not a kitchen killer, she is by no means an ingenious cooking expert. This can be seen from the fact that she is completely inseparable from the cooking skills of her co-habitant, Chef Marcos.

In case one day Marcos went on strike and didn't cook, Yan Ruxin felt that she might be starving.

She is used to the dishes produced by this chef that are comparable to five-star chefs, so she probably can only go to Michelin restaurants to eat food of a similar level.

So it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal~

Long story short, Yan Ruxin is still negotiating with another film production company, Columbia Pictures, because of copyright issues.

Not counting Summit Entertainment, Yan Ruxin's yacapital is expected to invest a total of US$5600 million in these films.

ya资本的账面有苹果的股票约170万股，06年她买时每股约为7.8美元到9.5美元不等，平均一下就算做8.7美元。

And in August, when Apple's stock price hit $8 a share, Yan Ruxin sold all of it, making a net profit of about 25 million. Adding the capital, she cashed out a total of about 2800 million in liquidity.

However, there was a surplus of more than 1000 million US dollars in the funds prepared for the acquisition of Summit.

Therefore, the overall investment can be fully invested by ya capital, without financing from private equity funds and individual investors.

This continuous negotiation and investment lasted for a long time. By the time Yan Ruxin was free again, the Christmas holiday was approaching, and Yan Ruxin would also usher in the first time of her college career after her rebirth. take an exam.

So the negotiation has come to an end for the time being, and we can talk about it after she finishes the exam.

By the way, the apartment that Yan Ruxin rented before was completely destroyed.

The insurance company and Marcos, who lured the thugs over, were fully responsible for the compensation. Yan Ruxin only had time to rescue her clothes, shoes and bags.

It is convenient to have a master of black technology by his side. Marcos operated a computer in one of the suitcases, which Yan Ruxin could not tell the brand at all.

It took less than 1 day for them to rent and move into another house.

With this efficiency, if there is a scoring competition for the speed and quality of renting a house, this gentleman can get No. 1 every minute.

The house this time is a one-story cottage in a quiet and elegant community. It has two bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom. The room is very spacious and elegantly decorated.

Two people have one bedroom, and they won't interfere with each other.

Just when Yan Ruxin was being fed by a top-notch personal chef at home, while she was retreating to prepare for the exam, another extraordinary event happened in the American financial circle.

Yesterday, that is, December 12, Nasdaq Chairman Bernard Madoff was accused by his son of defrauding 10 billion US dollars.

In the past two days, newspapers and media have been overwhelmingly talking about this "Ponzi scheme" fraud, which may be the largest amount in American history.

There are more than 30 victim institutions, and HSBC has become one of the biggest victims. In addition, Spain's largest bank Santander, Royal Bank of Scotland, and France's largest bank France BNP Paribas, Nomura Holdings, the largest securities company in Japan, Life Insurance, the second largest insurance company in South Korea...

Many charities in the United States have also become victims of this Ponzi scheme, and more than half of the hedge funds are facing the risk of bankruptcy.

In the financial tsunami that happened once in a century, this Ponzi scheme directed and acted by Madoff finally collapsed, and it made the financial market worse.

The stock markets of various countries fell sharply.

Yan Ruxin was also surprised.

Madoff is the chairman of Nasdaq, and he is also a well-known figure in the field of hedge funds. Although he is not as good as the largest hedge funds, he has an excellent reputation in the field of investors.

But the fact is that Madoff used the simplest and least technical Ponzi scheme to defraud more than tens of billions of assets.

The meaning of a Ponzi scheme is to exchange the capital obtained from others for the profit of the previous investor.

After talking about it, you will find that it is extremely simple.

However, the deceived include Wall Street investment banks, hedge fund elites, major banks and insurance companies...this kind of institution is composed of financial elites.

Not only appalling, but incredible.

Why are some of the smartest people in the world falling for such a low-level scam?

Yan Ruxin recalled Madoff's method, and found that it was nothing more than a pyramid-shaped direct sales network.

Then the only reason is the 40% high profit he promised.

Alas... After all, it's just greed.
