Chapter 196 Time Magazine II

Ryan Jenkins, he grew up almost under the eyes of the whole world, and still grows. However, as he himself said - God gave you a pearl and will take you a diamond ——He showed great artistic talent and accomplishment, but also showed a bad side.

As we all know, Ryan is severely allergic to alcohol, does not adapt to the cold environment, and is too fond of pranks and jokes. He has tried business investment several times, but he is criticized for not having enough business talent. Even today, it is up to him and Nicole Jenkins, which Kidman, Pie Kingsley and Scott Swift co-founded, is still actually in the hands of Nicole Kidman.

However, is this the truth of the matter?

In 1993, due to Ryan's strong request, the foundation under his name successively spent huge sums of money to acquire Blizzard Entertainment, Pixar Studio and Blue Sky Studio, and invested $150 million in Paramount Pictures. industry, making Nicole Kidman a board member of a top studio.

Is the investment Ryan insisted on really bad? Let's see how these companies develop now!

The predecessor of Blizzard Entertainment was called 'Silicon and Neuron' Studio. When Ryan acquired it, there were only a dozen employees, but after his capital injection, the renamed game development company has shown extraordinary vitality. , they obtained the authorization of Ryan's Warcraft series of stories, and based on this setting, they developed the real-time strategy game Warcraft, which has sold more than two hundred worldwide in less than two years. The sales of 10,000 sets have attracted the attention of the entire game industry, and Ryan's original investment has received a huge return! It is reported that Microsoft once offered him $100 million for Blizzard Entertainment, but he refused.

We're going to focus on Pixar Studios, an animation studio in Richmond, California, that may be unfamiliar to you, but most of you must have seen Toy Story, which was released last Christmas, based on Ryan's Story. A fully computer-generated 3D animated film based on the story of the same name from The Set. Its production company is Pixar!

Today, the North American box office of Toy Story is rushing towards 250 million US dollars, and it is inevitable to win the North American box office chart in 1995. Just after the first week of the film's release, Pixar officially went public. In just a few days, its The stock price has risen from $22 at the opening to $55, and it is still rising, creating another myth in the IT world!

In 1993, Ryan paid $50 million to buy Pixar from Steve Jobs. It was ridiculed by a lot of people. Now that $50 million has given Ryan more than $1 billion. He has become the richest among his peers, and even his sister Nicole Kidman has become a billionaire woman with a small amount of shares in her hands!

Even if Blue Sky Studio can barely make ends meet. These three investment projects have been a huge success!

certainly,

A lot of people are still waiting to see Ryan Jenkins fall and see the joke about his failed investment.

Because in 1994 and 1995, he invested a considerable amount of money successively, and established a network company called Yahoo with David Filo and Jerry Yang, two unknown people, and became the second largest shareholder, but 95% Year after year, the company's turnover was only a pitiful $1.3 million. The actual loss was $630,000, and Ryan once again gave others an excuse to criticize his business talent...

There is also the huge model ship built on the coast of Mexico and several temporary studios. Jenkins Pictures invested 100 million US dollars, and joint Paramount, Miramax and 20th Century Fox opened a huge 220 million US dollars. The production cost, two years have passed. The movie still has no sign of starting, which makes many people suspect that Ryan Jenkins is likely to suffer an unprecedented huge failure in the movie and lose all his reputation for many years!

Furthermore, after the acquisition of Carlock Films, Jenkins Pictures began to recruit screenwriters on a large scale to form a screenwriter team for Ryan, wanting to turn his endless ideas and ideas into qualified scripts. There is media sarcasm. , Ryan Jenkins will be completely reduced to the Hollywood assembly line.

But is it really going to be like this? We interviewed James Cameron, who worked with Ryan again, and he said, 'We were very strict with the details of 'Titanic', and the long preparations, The result must be a perfect movie!'

James Cameron is so confident, like everyone who works with Ryan Jenkins.

'They're right, Ryan's not good at specific things, but he's always had an amazing gut feeling when it comes to investing in movies, has he failed before? No! So don't say I'm not doing my job , because I totally trust Ryan!' That's Miss Nicole Kidman's exact words when it comes to investing.

As Ryan writes in his essay, some people always look at the world with ill will, questioning everything that can be questioned, but no matter what they say or do, the fearless winners will continue to succeed!

The topic goes back to the beginning. Ryan has been reclusive for the past two years. Where did he go and what is he doing? Last year, he followed the Princess of Wales to Africa to provide charity assistance, but it was a secret operation. Except for his works, these two years There is very little information about him.

To that end, we interviewed Ryan's best friend, Miss Natalie Portman, who gave us some rather 'secret' information - Ryan devoted all of his energy to his studies besides writing. , he wants to finish his secondary school as soon as possible.

We visited this and the fact is as Miss Natalie said, since 1994, Ryan has hired a number of tutors and started to study the 7th-12th grade curriculum. Last year, he had passed several homework. Now that the SATs — even if the grades aren’t great — have the news that he will be applying to USC Film School this summer.”

It can be seen that Ryan has never been complacent with his achievements, and is still enriching himself on the road to success. If such people cannot succeed, what kind of people will succeed?

In our opinion, there are two people in Ryan's soul, one is a successful man in the white tower, noble and humble, but he will always face the flower of sin poured out by black blood. A person will climb out of it. An evil dark wizard who wants to drag him into hell; the other is a brave and hard-working knight who climbed up from the bottom, overcoming obstacles and invincible all the way, killing all the dark wizards neatly, in the direction of success Going further and further.”

Just as we were focusing on Ryan's halo as the first child star in Hollywood, he quietly completed another transformation, with James Cameron, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and other big directors and big producers. Good friends, tea and small talk with film giants like Ron Mayer and Shirley Lansing at the helm... and before you know it. He's become one of Hollywood's most powerful figures.

However. Today, two years later. Except for his name, it is difficult for us to find him in the media. Is it true that Ryan Jenkins wants to turn completely behind the scenes, as some people say?

Two years. Enough to change a lot, to make a teenager grow up, how many people can remember Ryan Jenkins on the big screen today? Even the two closest to him, Nicole Key Deman and Natalie Portman are constantly picking the right roles, and he just doesn't get it...

Whether he's conceiving new ideas and scripts, writing the next novel at his desk, or playing and entertaining himself, we don't know. We don't even know if he's still in Los Angeles. Are you still in Hollywood?

'We love all of his work, his films, his novels. His music, his essays and funny little stories, but two years on, Ryan is sixteen and what has he become We don't know what it looks like. We know that he is working hard for his studies, and we appreciate Ryan's spirit and attitude, but he always has to show his face, right? Let us see what you look like when you grow up? Even if it is You are not as handsome and cute as you were when you were a child, and we will still support you firmly!' This is what a person in charge of a support club in Ryan said.

'Frankly, we wanted to get a picture of him too, you know? After Pixar went public, my editor-in-chief put a $200,000 bounty on Ryan Jenkins' latest photo, and we watched him day and night. We don't get any news of value except Nicole Kidman coming in and out, we suspect that Ryan has left Los Angeles after passing the sat test, but his London counterparts are in their Ken Outside the villa in Hinton District, there is also nothing to gain. Where did he go, we also want to know.' This is the emotion of the entertainment colleagues.

'We'd love to have him talk about his investment decisions and his thoughts. If we could, it would be even better to do an interview with us. Do you think a billion dollars is his real net worth? There are many friends on Wall Street. Everyone knows that Scott Swift has made a lot of money from his investments in the past few years. The foundation he controls holds many bullish stocks. We have checked that this foundation belongs to Ryan Swift. Jenkins and Nicole Kidman, they're really worth more than your showbiz estimates.' This is from a senior editor at Fortune.

From fans to reporters, from the media industry to the financial industry, from the entertainment industry to the IT industry, many people are looking for that boy.

He is the guarantee of the movie box office, synonymous with success and hard work, the owner of huge wealth, the darling of the goddess of luck, and the most precious gift from God to America. He is Ryan Jenkins!
