Both "Julie and Julia" and "Inglourious Basterds" did surprisingly well at the box office after their release.

If "Inglourious Basterds" has the blessing of director Quentin and a lot of big-name stars, and uses the appeal of superstars as a marketing method, "Julie and Julia" wins entirely through its own warm food feelings.

Even when Yan Ruxin decided to invest in this movie and asked Dingfeng to co-produce it, she rationally believed that this movie was not mainstream, and that it would be a victory for the emotional card if it could not lose money... But unexpectedly, A week after its release, the box office of "Julie and Julia" really exceeded the imagination of countless film critics, analysts, and even herself.

Two unique women at different ages and different stages of life are linked together by warm and simple food. The plain but extraordinary unique style has become a unique existence in the same period of film,

In any case, this once again proves that Yan Ruxin's investment vision is accurate.

Several movies in succession have won repeatedly, the valuations of YA Capital and YA Fund have risen again, and Yan Ruxin's net worth has also risen.Moreover, Wall Street analysts and scholars from university research institutes have finally begun to conduct small-scale analysis and research on Yan Ruxin's investment methods.

Of course, the major media are not to be outdone, and have used time as a clue to sort out how Yan Ruxin has grown from a poor student who broke up with her family to an independent investor who has occupied a place in Hollywood step by step.

All this seems to indicate that, as a fledgling investor, she has officially gained a firm foothold in the Hollywood investment circle.

But no matter how hustle and bustle the outside world was, Yan Ruxin, who sneaked in while she was busy, watched "Julie and Julia" in the movie theater with a husband who was very keen on food, and with countless audiences who had chosen this movie.

Quiet, comfortable, beautiful... The simple plot contains plain but moving, simple but warm feelings.All those who love food and also love life will probably have a very enjoyable two hours, with a knowing smile at the end and a sustained good mood.

This is probably the best value of a warm emotional movie.

Yan Ruxin and Marcos walked out of the movie theater, walking aimlessly on the avenue in Beverly Hills.

The two went out for a walk at home to watch a movie, and it was also very leisurely after the walk.

The walk back is not short, but there are very few pedestrians walking on the road, only top sports cars, limousines and box nanny cars whizzing by occasionally.This is the world's top upper-class community, but some people who have lived here for nearly ten years have never stepped on the ground with their feet on the ground.

Like other people living in the community, the two are also very busy people, and their respective companies have a lot of work to do. Taking a leisurely walk without caring about the passage of time is the most luxurious thing.

"Why are you so good at cooking?" She casually asked the people beside her.

In her subconscious mind, she probably thinks that people who love food, no matter how bad they are, they won't be so bad.

Of course, this is just an unprovable assumption, but this is the reason why she changed her attitude after a simple breakfast on the second morning when she first met him.

Even though she was lucky enough to enjoy the different styles of breakfast he cooked afterwards, she always remembered the slightly humble meal that morning.It's a bit strange to say, but if she hadn't eaten the soft-boiled egg with a perfectly rich yolk, she would probably have treated him as an enemy with ulterior motives for a longer period of time.

After a moment of silence, the man beside him said with a blank expression: "My mother is Italian, the family has run restaurants for generations, and my father is German. They met in the United States... The only time I don't have to be trained every day is when I eat three meals a day. When time passes, it will happen.”

Although he spoke lightly, without revealing any emotion, as if he was telling someone else's story, Yan Ruxin seemed to feel something.She lightly held his cold fingers, and the gentleman with a cold expression held her back, wrapping her hand in it, and cast his blue eyes on her.

This was the first time she had heard him talk about his parents, but only combined with the crisis some time ago, after a little thought, she could understand why he seldom mentioned it.

At the same time, it is conceivable that this kind of fighter jet in the deep well and the aircraft carrier-like man in the high-energy wonders, if he does not tell, there is probably no one in this world who can make him talk about the life he has experienced. The warmest, but also the most painful memory.

"...After the age of 12, I have to practice outside every year. If I don't want to starve to death, I have to eat anything. At that time, I just hope that the food I try to eat looks like human food." He wrote lightly, and proposed, "Whenever you have a vacation, I can consider taking you camping."

"Farewell, I seriously suspect that the dictionary you and I use to learn English is not the same version." Yan Ruxin shook her head repeatedly, rolled her eyes and said, "Last time you said you would take me to a picnic, but you brought me to the In the primeval forest. I don’t know how you define camping in your dictionary, I don’t want to go to a deserted and empty place to see how you dig out the bugs in the ground and make French cuisine.”

"Oh, you ate very happily last time, and I thought you were pleasantly surprised." He lowered his tone slightly, looked at her suspiciously, and blinked, indicating that women are really difficult to understand.

She pulled this ignorant person kindly, and said earnestly, "Sir, I don't think that would be a surprise to most people.

A sandwich picnic at a corner park escalates into a private beach lobster party, and what a surprise.If you upgrade to a BBQ in the primeval forest, there may be poisonous spiders crawling out at any time, which is frightening...Of course, I must objectively admit that your barbecue skills are still good. "

"So you mean you don't want to go camping... okay." He seemed to understand, expressing his regret.

"Yes, unless you can guarantee that our camping is the same as most ordinary people's camping. If you don't know what ordinary people's camping is, I suggest you look it up on Wikipedia." She said solemnly.

"Is it normal people's camping? Well..." He nodded seriously and earnestly, indicating that he understood, and motioned to her that he would look up the entry.

She smiled with satisfaction, optimistically feeling that no matter how deep the deep well ice is, there is still the possibility of transformation.

But the next week, when she was pulled by him, she was transported to an uninhabited island with no signal on an old freighter that seemed to be falling apart in a second, and said goodbye to the old captain she was wearing. Finally, she found out she was wrong.

In her world, camping is nothing more than climbing a mountain with some snacks in a tent and staying overnight. This directly becomes Robinson Crusoe, what the hell is survival on an island?

"Hey, can I ask how long this camping is? Next Monday, Little Lucy will send the script and the list of raw films to my email. This is a movie that the company may invest in next year, and I will review the accounts with Catherine ..." Yan Ruxin counted her unfinished work, leaned closer and took off her shirt, revealing a strong and muscular figure, whispering in the ears of the man who had already set up the tent for resting in an instant.

He laid out simple but practical carpentry tools on the spot, and seemed to be starting to build a log cabin, which didn't look like a good sign for Yan Ruxin.

"My punctual and cautious sir, please tell me that you have booked a yacht and will come to pick us up on time, right?" No matter how stupid she is, she knows that this isolated island is definitely not a regular tourist route, otherwise only old freighters will pass by. She opened the calendar and said, "I have separate meetings with DreamWorks and Disney on Thursday. A meeting, two screenwriters and some new directors met to talk about venture capital, and an interview with "Time Magazine"..."

After looking at the calendar, she felt a little relieved. Fortunately, at least she believed that German men with a strong sense of time had unshakable good habits.

"Unfortunately, we don't have this option in our transportation, and I haven't booked any transportation to pick us up. I can only go back when Captain Lick returns from Mexico. It will be about three months later. If you are lucky If so, it depends on how long he will stay in Mexico..." He said lightly.

She stared at him blankly for three seconds.

"Are you kidding me? Are you pretending to be someone else? I remember you will have CAA's annual meeting next week, as well as Miranda's weekly meeting. We have so many things to do, what if we can't make it back? "She widened her eyes, and directly pulled his stern cheek with her hands, tugging hard, as if to see if it was true.

This is the late stage of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Shen Jingbing who is about to enter the intensive care unit~

How is it possible to miss a meeting?

"Ma'am, I think this is the camping you asked for for ordinary people. As ordinary people, they usually only take a downwind boat or make their own canoe, and they will not buy a yacht for camping. I checked around Santa Monica. For all the records of ship owners, Captain Lik is the most suitable choice." He said with a serious and innocent face, saying that he had carefully studied the entries on the Internet, "As for the meeting... I brought a set of satellite devices In case of emergency, after connecting to the Internet, you can conduct online meetings and interviews, and I can also handle business as usual."

Yan Ruxin looked at him dumbfounded, while he looked back at her seriously.

After a while, she asked sadly: "I want to ask how to charge mobile phones and computers on this desert island. Have you brought a generator?"

"Yes, solar and diesel generators, there..." He pointed to her to show how prepared he was.

Yan Ruxin followed what he pointed, and saw a container-sized box unloaded from a freighter... When she probed into it, her whole body became ill.

Therefore, what this Shen Jingbing means is that yachts are not the equipment for ordinary people to camp, generators and satellite devices, woodworking cutters, and even tempered glass for skylights, ceramic bathtubs, toilets, ovens, gas stoves, coffee machines... ...that's it?

What a beeping dog~

Where does this logic come from?

Luckily, she has internet access, which means she can still book a boat to pick her up if things go wrong.

In the next three months, all the filmmakers, investors, and media who were lucky enough to make appointments with Yan Ruxin for meetings and interviews... were all lucky enough to see a girl on an isolated island with two squirrels and two raccoons squatting beside her. And Yan Ruxin, a small deer with a leg injured.

The shooting of the cover character of "Time" is rare not in a studio, but on an unnamed desert island.

At the same time, Yan Ruxin also controlled YA Capital remotely, and completed several heavyweight investments in the next year.

In the movie part, the first was the cooperation with Paramount, "Iron Man 2", with a total investment of 5000 million US dollars, and the funds raised by her with YA funds accounted for half of the investment, "Shrek", "How to Train Your Dragon" Yan Ruxin of "The Master" also invested [-] million US dollars respectively.

The second is "The King's Speech", with a total investment of 500 million US dollars, and the YA fund accounted for 1000 million. Because of "Inglourious Basterds", Yan Ruxin and the Weinstein brothers have more contact with each other And I understand that "The King's Speech" is the next film produced and distributed by Weinstein, and Yan Ruxin is also very optimistic.

The third tranche was that Spielberg also chatted with Yan Ruxin via video chat, and signed the capital injection contract for the next few films produced by DreamWorks.

In addition, she did not invest in more independent films, but bought the platter she thought was the best choice among many Wall Street platter funds.

Because next year, Yan Ruxin plans to shift her focus a little bit.

She is currently in frequent contact with the management of Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, and Universal, which currently belong to Disney.At the same time, the management of Lions Gate Films and Legendary Films also received invitations from Yan Ruxin to negotiate.

This kind of action is enough to make people extremely speculative. Everyone is waiting to see what big action she will make...

Unexpectedly, at this time, she disappeared from the eyes of the Los Angeles media. Everyone knew that this popular Hollywood investor who raised a large sum of money would spend at least three months on the isolated island.

Whether it is for these industry insiders or Yan Ruxin, this is a magical experience.

Life on an isolated island is amazing.

A gentleman who must have studied in the all-purpose class built the cabin quite professionally, with a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and even an outdoor balcony and a small dock that extends outward.There is also a solar water heater in the bathroom, and a bathtub and a flush toilet are installed. The whole wooden house is also powered on and connected to a water pump to draw water directly from the clear lake water on the island.

This gentleman has a refined taste in life, and even on an isolated island, he can still maintain an elegant lifestyle. Not only does the quality of life not decrease, but Yan Ruxin feels that it has improved.

Except for spices, seasonings, coffee beans and milk, which were pulled from the container at the beginning, all fresh ingredients are locally sourced, such as abalone, scallops, sea urchin... all come from Mr. Almighty's superb diving skills, wild vegetables, berries, various Planting mushrooms, she couldn't identify them at all, but he knew them all well, and he had to build traps to guard against wild animals...

Yan Ruxin, who had never left the city since she was a child, seemed to have come to a new world, but Marcos seemed to be more at home in the financial market than him in a suit and leather shoes, an elite style, and his mood was more gentle.

In general, after the first week of adaptation, she can occasionally go to the forest with light clothes to pick easily recognizable wild fruits and vegetables, and entertain some squirrels, hares, small deer and the like from time to time. cute little guest in the forest.
