football?
Hearing Charlize’s words, Ryan remembered the team that he had forgotten for a long time. After buying Manchester United, he only went to the scene once, and the team’s affairs were completely handed over to the management. The professional accountant team is in charge, and those people are not worried about any tricks.
In the words of the British media, he is definitely the least caring of all the owners of the Premier League.
However, with the passage of time, the original dissatisfaction of Manchester United fans gradually disappeared. In their eyes, it may be lucky that Manchester United have been handed over to Ryan.
It has been several years since the completion of the acquisition. Not only did the Manchester United club not bear any debts, on the contrary, it has a large amount of money for signings every year.
As Ryan promised, he has not earned a penny from Manchester United in these years. This is the world's most profitable team. All of its revenue is invested in team building, and it has a large number of tickets in the Premier League. Under the premise of rising prices, Manchester United's ticket prices have been stable, but at the mid-stream level of the Premier League.
Ryan himself never thought of using Manchester United to make money, otherwise he would have sold the team.
Some time ago, the Abu Dhabi consortium from the Middle East made tentative contact with him and offered to buy Manchester United at a price of 1.2 billion pounds, but he refused without hesitation.
The other party is not short of money, even if it is true of their wealth, most of their wealth is reflected in the stock market, which is incomparable to these Middle Eastern tyrants, but Ryan is also not short of money. Manchester United is a good platform. You can use it to promote a variety of Disney products.
For example, in the focus battle between Manchester United and Liverpool at Christmas, Taylor appeared on stage during halftime. For example, before the release of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", every Manchester United home game will be played on the big screen. trailer.
Although this move has been criticized by many British football stars, Ryan doesn't care at all. No matter what those people are clamoring in the media, he will not move.
These people are not stupid, they just refer to Manchester United’s business strategy and violation of British football tradition. He has never been directed against him, otherwise Ryan would not mind that the gossip tabloids under the News Corp. will reveal the old bottom of these famous players. England players, no matter how old or new, are professional...
The Chinese team in Europe is more than just talk.
There is also Beckham. After leaving Manchester United, she was not comfortable with Real Madrid. Victoria Beckham once asked Nicole to help manage the transfer of the other party to the Los Angeles Galaxy. She can't wait to enter Hollywood. .
Ryan just heard Nicole mention it. I didn't care much. If Nicole was willing to help, the couple who barely broke into the upper class of Hollywood would have a much smoother future.
After having lunch with Charlize, the two held hands, walked on the path between the palm trees in the manor, pacing slowly, enjoying a rare leisure time.
The sparse palm trees are scattered in the garden, and the road paved with soft cobblestone from Italy stretches into the back garden. Under the sunlight at noon, all rays of light were reflected, scattered on the low iron trees, leaving little light spots on the dark green leaves.
"This path."
Charlize held Ryan in one hand. A finger pointed at the path in front of him, "Some time ago, I asked someone to re-paved it. The previous stone road was too long. Once rain or dew falls on it, it will be slippery."
"As long as you like." Ryan stopped and looked at some strange trees nearby. Asked, "Is this just transplanted?"
"Yes." Charlize lifted his feet, picked a green leaf, and stuffed it to Ryan, "This is Magnolia, the evergreen. I heard a friend introduce it specially from Florida. It is said that it can absorb fluorine. Some polluting gases, such as chemical compounds and sulfur dioxide, have the effect of freshening the air. Unfortunately, it will not bloom until May and June next year."
For a long time, Charlize has regarded this as her home, and often improved and decorated the facilities in the manor according to her wishes. Ryan knew this and had not interfered. If she was happy, demolish all the houses in the manor. It’s no big deal.
"Stand here." Charlize pushed Ryan to the magnolia tree and took out a mobile phone from the pocket of his slacks, "Don't move, let me take a picture."
After the click of the shutter sounded from the mobile phone, Ryan walked over. The latest Motorola mobile phone that Charlize played with was the first time he saw a touch-screen smartphone in this world.
Although Motorola launched the Tiantuo series of smart touch-screen mobile phones as early as 2000, Ryan has no interest in this difficult old antique compared to the smart phones used in the previous life.
"This is Motorola a728."
Seeing that Ryan was a little curious, Charlize simply stuffed the phone into his hand and explained, "It is not yet on the market. Motorola wants to ask me to endorse this phone. It sent me a few to try it out. Yes, if you need it, just ask Lisa directly."
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that Ryan was not paying attention to the phone, but in a trance, Charlize squeezed his arm, "Do you want to hit Motorola's idea?"
"Of course not." Ryan shrugged and returned the phone to Charlize. "Let's go back."
In the next few major social networks, he has become one of the major shareholders of ‘’, what about Twitter?
Ryan just considered this issue. I vaguely remember that Twitter seems to be coming out soon, and that Twitter involves some patents and technologies in blogging. It seems to have a close relationship with the founder of the blog. Remember that the company's operating status is not considered. How good is it? Let Disney check it back and buy it directly or get a controlling stake.
By the way, ‘‘As the number of users increases, a new financing plan is about to begin, so Disney should try to get a foot in it.
If possible, merge 30% of your own shares into Disney in order to get a controlling stake.
Anyway, Disney is not inferior to Time Warner and News Corp in terms of traditional media, so it would be better to focus on the future network with unlimited potential.
Of course, he can only provide a general direction, which will definitely involve a large number of very professional things, which will be handled by a professional team.
Back at the villa, Charlize went to the dressing room and changed into a women's slim-fitting suit. After coming out, he said to Ryan who was sitting on the sofa in the living room thinking about things, "I'm going to the company, and I'm going to a party organized by the Beverly Hills Business Association tonight. Don't wait for me for dinner."
"Ok."
Ryan raised his head and looked at Charlize who was walking next to him. The South African Diamond leaned over and kissed his lips, waved out of the villa.
Standing at the door of the villa and watching Charlize's black Bentley drive out of the manor, Ryan returned to the second floor and opened the study door. Sitting in front of the laptop.
After returning from New York, he began to write another script, because he had written a novel before, and he quickly compiled an outline.
The script is not "Transformers", that kind of pure popcorn movie, he just provided the general idea, and the scriptwriters under his team were more than enough to deal with it.
Yes, he has special feelings for this series, but does the storyline of the live-action movie matter? As long as it works in general logic.
Ryan is thinking about it now. It was the movie version of the "Warcraft" script. For this series, he considered for a long time and has been thinking about the choice. Movies are not games after all. It is impossible to create so many heroes. It is a must to intercept a few of them as the main characters.
And his protagonist. It fell on the head of Arthas Menethil, Prince of Lordaeron of the human kingdom.
From the moment Alsace was born, he was destined to assume great responsibilities, under the influence of his predecessors' excellent training and good family education. Arthas gradually grew into a good prince, kind, enthusiastic, upright, brave... He almost possessed all the good qualities that everyone in the kingdom would like him to have.
The entire Kingdom of Lordaeron is proud of having such a prince.
This is part of Ryan's characterization of Alsace Menethil. If he wants to take up the hopes of all people and assume the responsibilities of the country he loves, he must have another thing-power!
Slender fingers tapped the keyboard quickly, and lines of letters appeared in the document on the screen.
The first act of the third scene.
Time: The sun has just risen. Location: In front of a huge armor hanging in the training ground of the Lordaeron Palace, the rising sun illuminates the field.
In the bright sunshine, Alsace's blonde hair was more shiny, and he looked at the armor, his eyes full of desire and fantasy.
Note: The camera zooms in-Alsace's eyes show the inner world of the prince.
The armor turned into a tall and savage orc who had been ravaging Lordaeron. The opponent was burning, looting and looting in the village of Steinblad. The young Arthas rushed up with a heavy hammer and used all his power with the orcs. He fought and successfully killed him, and more than a dozen villagers who fled the danger sent him heartfelt thanks and blessings.
Alsace's inner monologue: Power, only power can defend my country and people!
The camera is zoomed out-back to reality With the fantasy, Arthas subconsciously made a fighting action against the armor. He is agile and very talented in this area.
Camera transition-At the entrance of the training ground, Terenas Menethil II and the dwarf hero Muradin Bronzebeard stand there.
Terenas: Muradin, I hope you can teach Alsace yourself in the next few years.
Muradin? Bronze beard bowed slightly: This is my honour, Your Majesty.
Camera revolving-In the training ground, a man of the same age rushed to Alsace's side.
Varian Wrynn: Arthas, I have good news for you, Jaina Proudmoore...
In the next week or so, after work, Ryan invested a lot of time on this script, but after half a month into 2005, he had to go to China.
Ryan accepted the invitation for an official visit from Shanghai. (To be continued...) ()
