Chapter 755： Best Picture Award Guest

"Did I do something stupid yesterday?"

As soon as he walked into the restaurant, Ryan heard the questioning voice of Natalie who had placed breakfast, "Is it still crazy? I only remember some vague clips."

Pulling the chair, Ryan sat opposite Natalie, picked up the knife and fork, and said, "After coming back, you pestered me crazy for a long time."

"I still remember these." Natalie smiled embarrassedly, and sat down, "I mean, I was drunk when shooting, and vaguely remembered..."

"I took the film back." Ryan pointed to the cabinet outside the restaurant. "It's there. You can watch it yourself after breakfast."

"Oh, there's more." Ryan said again, "I gave the crew a holiday, and today we are off."

"Yeah~"

Natalie nodded, stopped talking, and began to concentrate on breakfast.

She was still in the stage of controlling her diet, just drank a glass of skim milk and ate half an apple, greeted Ryan, and left the restaurant.

After finishing breakfast quickly, Ryan walked into the living room. Natalie was using a small projection device to watch the clips shot yesterday. Hearing his footsteps in the past, she quickly turned her head back.

"Is this me and Scarlett?" She seemed a little embarrassed.

"I can't make two people who look exactly like you, can I?" Rui? En sat beside Natalie, "If I hadn't called Anna to help, only God would know what you would become. "

"That..." Natalie hurriedly turned off the screen and explained, "I don't know why this is. Maybe it's because of too much pressure recently, which caused the drunk to lose status."

"However, why does Scarlett seem to be very skilled?" She murmured again.

"What?" Ryan didn't hear clearly. "What's so proficient, Nat?"

"Ah. It's nothing." Natalie shook her head. "This scene was finally filmed. I cut out the shots that were too much, and the rest is enough."

Shrugging, Ryan helped Natalie pack the film, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, he walked over and opened the door, and it was Scarlett Johansson standing outside.

"Hi, Ryan." She waved her hand and immediately got into the suite.

"Scarlett!"

See Scarlett coming in. Natalie couldn't help staring at her with arms akimbo, "You..."

"I don't remember anything."

Before Natalie finished speaking, Scarlett thought about what she said, "Nat, I seemed to be drunk yesterday and I don't remember anything."

After finishing speaking, she quickly moved away from Natalie's sight and waved to this side, "Ryan. Do you have a plan if you don't shoot today?"

"I'm going to Wall Street."

Pointing to his formal attire, Ryan said to the two people, "If you are interested. You can be together."

"Scarlett."

Natalie knew that Ryan had to go to Wall Street because of work. She used to hold Scarlett and said, "Let's go shopping, we haven't been to Fifth Avenue in a long time."

Take the elevator down to the underground parking lot. The three got into two cars separately, and left the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, waiting for Natalie and their Chevrolet to leave. Ryan's Rolls-Royce just drove to Wall Street.

As an important member of the same interest group, Taylor's father Scott Swift is almost resident in New York. As the manager of many foundations under the name of Ryan and Nicole, his methods have become more and more in recent years. Proficiency, with more and more funds under his control, has also become an important member of Wall Street.

"Ryan, the signs of the financial crisis are becoming more apparent."

After entering the reception room, the two were not so polite. Sitting on the sofa separately, Scott went directly to the topic, "From the data analysis we have obtained, the possibility of an outbreak between the end of this year and the end of next year is the greatest. "

"Will it have an impact on us?" This is the focus of Ryan's concern.

"The impact will definitely be there, but it won't be particularly big." Scott said concisely. "According to my estimation, this time finance, banking, insurance and real estate are the key industries in the crisis. Our assets exclude Hollywood related industries. Besides, it mainly focuses on the IT industry."

"Also." He continued, "I have sold stocks in industries that may be severely affected, and part of the funds raised has been invested in China, and the other part is reserved as a reserve fund according to your ideas."

"What's going on on Wall Street now?" Ryan nodded and asked.

"New Century Financial Corporation should not last long." Scott flipped through the documents in his hand. "According to our estimation, it is difficult for them to persist until May. There are also Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers. There are also many problems. Once With the outbreak of the financial crisis, applying for bankruptcy protection may be the only way out."

"Pay more attention to the status of investment banks." Ryan thought for a while, and there are not many relevant memories in his head. "In this period of time, I have invested cautiously in North America."

Then, Scott gave him a detailed analysis of the grim situation that Wall Street might face, and Ryan also learned more about this financial crisis that was only a general understanding of the previous life.

Scott's words can be summed up in one sentence. Now that God has come, he cannot save America from this most likely crisis.

Since two thousand years later, the economic development of the United States has slowed down. The industries that have achieved rapid development are undoubtedly the high-tech industries represented by the IT industry, and the real estate industry that the federal government has vigorously promoted.

External enemies are always the best way to resolve internal conflicts. Although the Iraq War temporarily resolved the domestic crisis, it did not fundamentally change the fate of the nation’s double deficits and economic downturn.

When fighting Iraq, the federal government’s war budget was about 50 to 60 billion U.S. dollars. At that time, it was thought that it could be a quick decision. As a result, from 2003 to the present, the U.S. military has spent 4 years in Iraq and spent more than 500 billion dollars. Leading to the enlargement of US Treasury bonds, fiscal deficits and trade deficits.

How can we improve the nation’s economic situation? This important task fell on US real estate. Around 2000, the federal government made a choice to call on everyone in the US to buy houses. Even the Federal Reserve adopted loose monetary policy and kept cutting interest rates. Loan interest rates are very low. Real estate is used to boost the U.S. economy and keep the U.S. economy prosperous.

They joined forces with Wall Street to encourage the middle and lower classes in the United States to buy houses, create a real estate boom, and create a bigger bubble to plug the black hole left by another bubble.

As a result, commercial banks issued subordinated loans and packaged and sold subordinated debt to investment banks. After the investment banks purchased these mortgage securities, they began to design financial derivatives. They also made a package and turned into subordinated bonds—debt Mortgage bonds-sold to major customers of investment banks and insurance companies.

In this way, the subordinated debt was sold all over the world

The history of the past decades has proved countless times that putting the focus of a country’s economy on real estate will only crush the bubble, and the collapse of the bubble is only a matter of time.

Now, it is the turn of the United States to be unlucky.

Perhaps this financial crisis laid the groundwork on the day of capitalism, but the strategy of the federal government and Wall Street to gamble on real estate is undoubtedly one of the direct causes.

This financial crisis is bound to affect Hollywood, and those who hold large sums of money at that time can play the role of savior like David Ellison in the previous life.

Of course, this Hollywood outsider will never take his turn in this world.

Ryan stayed in Scott's office until the afternoon before leaving. When he returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel by car, he remembered another major event in Hollywood next year-the screenwriter's strike!

Although the model of Jenkins Pictures has driven the rise of screenwriters' status and income, the screenwriters association has never stopped calling for improvement of screenwriters' treatment. In the past few years, it has also negotiated with the producer alliance several times, but there is no ideal result. If nothing happens, the strike will most likely break out again under the guidance of the economic crisis next year.

Even if there is a certain degree of uncertainty, it is always right to be prepared. After returning to Los Angeles, we must promote the compilation of the scripts of the Disney labels in the next two to three years. Even if a strike occurs at that time, you will not encounter the previous life "Deformation" The situation in "King Kong 2".

That kind of weird script, if it weren't for the screenwriter's strike , it would definitely come back and rewrite it.

Saying that I am a member of the Screenwriters Guild and the Producers Alliance, will both parties come to the door at the same time?

Throwing away the question of not having to make a choice at all, Ryan dialed Natalie's phone and rolled his eyes after hearing where she and Scarlett were.

The two are trying on clothes at CT's flagship store in New York on Fifth Avenue, ‘ct Nature’s Treasure’.

Fortunately, after Charlize Theron filmed "Superman Hank for All", the world was busy opening shops, and she would appear in New York.

Picking up Natalie and Scarlett from ‘ct Nature’s Treasure’, Ryan asked a bodyguard to drive away their Chevrolet, and the black Rolls Royce returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Perhaps the relaxation of the day had an effect. After the crew restarted the next day, the efficiency was significantly improved. Ryan, Natalie and Scarlett also maintained an excellent condition, and most of the shots were controlled in ng times. It was less than five times, and this high efficiency was maintained for a long time.

When it came in late February, Ryan and Scarlett Johansson ended their roles one after another.

Scarlett went to Nashville to rendezvous with Taylor, who was on a national tour, while Ryan flew back to Los Angeles to prepare for the next seventy-ninth Oscars.

Different from previous strong performances, this year's Disney films, only "Cars 2" won the heavier award nomination for Best Animated Feature Film, and the others are just nominations for insignificant technical awards.

Ryan originally didn't want to participate in this awards ceremony, but was strongly invited by the academy. They invited him to be the most important guest of award-the guest of award for best film. (To be continued...) R1292
