Chapter 2624 Rich and famous lady

The Hollywood movie platter investment business led by Wall Street in the past few years has indeed achieved great success, and even Jieyu Media has benefited a lot.

Of course, the one that benefits the most is Legendary Pictures.

Legendary Pictures is now at its peak and is actively going public. It is said that its market value has reached US$5 billion. After Wanda failed to acquire Paramount, it turned around and bought Legendary Pictures at a high price to supplement the shortage of production business in its business territory.

That's a pity.

Both Ariana and Wanda are outsiders in Hollywood. Even though Wanda successfully acquired the AMC theater chain, it seems that it has entered the American film industry, but this is completely different from Hollywood.

"Legendary Pictures has fundamental business flaws." Zhou Buqi gave his opinion without any delay, "The platter investment model has come to an end."

"Why?" Ariana was very puzzled. "The platter investment model seems to make sense. I have indeed consulted many investors and they all think it makes sense."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It makes sense, but that is the past."

In the past, the logic of movie platter investment was "quantification."

Investing in a movie is too risky.

Let alone outsiders investing, even the most professional producers in Hollywood will have to bear huge risks of failure. Only 15% of Hollywood movies produced every year can directly make profits through the box office market.

However, if it is "quantitative trading", it can effectively avoid the risks of such monolithic investment.

According to the calculation of the investment model, by investing in 20-30 movies at one time, you can offset the risks of those losing money movies, and use 4-5 profitable movies among them to make back all the losing money and gain profits.

The annualized return can even reach 15%!

Such a new discovery has become the largest cooperation model between Wall Street and Hollywood in the past decade. Plate investing has also become Hollywood's preferred financing method over the past decade.

At Zhou Buqi's call, Jieyu Media took advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis, and while Wall Street and Hollywood were short of money, they also used the platter investment cooperation model to participate, opening up the Hollywood market in one fell swoop.

Times have changed, and Hollywood has changed.

"In the past?" Ariana seemed very unwilling. All her investment enthusiasm was put into platter investment. It was difficult to accept the result of failure just because of a few words from Boss Zhou. "Why? No, why? Is that so?”

Zhou Buqi shrugged, "This is reality. Hollywood is more complex than Wall Street. The platter investment model is based on Hollywood's past film business performance."

"Isn't it possible to cooperate with PayPal?" Ariana doesn't understand the logic of the movie very well, but her father is a famous banker and she is more familiar with Wall Street. "In the past, platter investment was to start a project fund. Then use the investment model to attract investors and obtain funds. If you can cooperate with PayPal, the way to obtain funds will be more convenient. PayPal users around the world can purchase shares of platter investment projects online, and even participate in single movies. invest."

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "Isn't that just crowdfunding for the movie?"

"ah?"

Ariana was slightly startled.

Zhou Buqi sighed and saw that she was really an amateur, so he shook his head, "Hollywood is undergoing earth-shaking changes now, and the logic of Hollywood production led by Ziweixing Global has changed. This matter is far from as simple as you think. "

"this……"

Ariana bit her lip lightly and cast an expectant look at Boss Zhou.

Not to mention, her way of biting her red lips and gleaming in her eyes really made me feel pity for her, and people couldn't help but want to feel the experience of her rose petal-like lips.

Zhou Buqi sighed secretly.

Oops!

The old habit happened again!

She used to be an actress in the entertainment industry and a female model in the fashion industry, but now she is eyeing the top socialites in the social circle... Oh my, no!

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "This topic is very complicated. How about we make an appointment another day and have a good chat? I happen to be addicted to art collection recently, but there is a lack of really attractive sellers in the market."

"artwork?"

Ariana's eyes lit up slightly.

Apparently she was interested in selling antique collections, art, that sort of thing.

This is her family's greatest asset.

The key is that these assets are not as easily liquidated as real estate and stocks. The process of art transactions is too complicated. If it goes to auction, the timeline for the entire process will be too long and the commission will be high.

I didn’t expect Mr. Zhou to be a potential buyer!

This is very important to her Rockefeller family.

Although family funds have always focused on stable investments with low yields in order to protect principal and stabilize returns. However, during the subprime mortgage crisis a few years ago, even capital-preserving investments suffered a bloodbath of losses.

If you want the dividend model of a family fund to continue operating, the most important thing is to ensure the principal.

Only when the principal is stabilized can we earn interest-like income based on the principal, and then distribute the income to each of Rockefeller's descendants.

However, the principal suffered a serious loss, and her family had long since lost any new business projects that could generate sustainable profits... What should she do?

How to make up for the principal?

Then it can only be the collection in the seller's house.

Ariana has led several auctions of her collection over the past few years.

Once it was made public, it immediately caused an uproar in the society and had a great negative impact. The dignified Rockefeller family actually had to rely on selling antique collections to make a living. How depressing is this? This immediately broke many people's fascination with the legendary giants, and they couldn't even believe that such a top giant would be in decline.

Later, she had no choice but to sell it secretly.

At auctions, artworks are often sold as "a collection brought by a mysterious person", but this is too troublesome and difficult to operate.

What's more important is the mentality.

Her father, the 100-year-old David Rockefeller, is known as the world's largest collector. He worked hard to collect so many treasures throughout his life. In his later years, he saw his life's hard work drifting around the world. From then on losing contact.

This is so cruel.

However, if Mr. Zhou can really reach a series of long-term transactions, this problem can be solved well. Selling those works of art to Mr. Zhou is not a loss...it's just a change of hands.

If you miss it, you can visit Zhou's house to appreciate and touch the antiques and works of art that you once owned. Those precious works of art will be truly treasured in the hands of collectors, instead of becoming a lot of people in the auction house. Commodities that make money from speculation.

Ariana is very happy and looks forward to having more interactions with Mr. Zhou.

Especially the business of platter investment.

She still doesn't give up.

As the next generation heir who has been carefully cultivated, she does not want to watch her family just sit back and go to waste. It doesn’t have to be too good. Legendary Pictures’ valuation has reached 5 billion US dollars. If Legendary Pictures’ model can be copied, it will be enough to become a huge success like her masterpiece!

Ariana obviously doesn't want to just be a famous lady who is the face of the family.

She wanted to make a career.
