Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight-Warner’s Value Far Exceeds Imagination

Wayne didn't care about the woman Cameron Diaz. If she was willing to rely on gossip tabloids to maintain her exposure, then let her go. It would have almost no impact on him.

At least in his private life, he has not suffered any criticism. Most of the gossip media described him as a playboy. The most egregious thing is that his private life is corrupt. These things are far from involving the moral level.

Some unscrupulous gossip tabloids even deliberately collected photos of women who had relationships with Wayne and carefully analyzed the young director's aesthetics.

The conclusion is that the girls Wayne Greenberg likes must have a standard model figure, with blond or chestnut hair, and a feminine or sweet face. None of the women he has a relationship with has a tough look.

Nina also specially showed him the report. Even Wayne himself admitted that their analysis was almost all correct, but there was one exception. He didn't like European and American goddesses with tough faces and bombshell figures, but there was a Belle. La-Grant is close to that size.

Bella Grant, the beauty editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times, still has a slender figure like a model, but she has two terrifying mountain peaks. Coupled with her usual professional attire of white shirt and ladies' skirt, Wayne admits that she has no such temptation. Men can resist.

"I went to see it."

The assistant lady went out for a walk, then returned to the living room and whispered to her boss: "Although those reporters are interviewing her, Cameron Diaz and Smart didn't say anything they shouldn't."

"It's okay." Wayne waved his hand. "Since she dares to do this, she should understand the consequences of talking nonsense. Even if she doesn't understand it herself, the manager behind her who teaches her also understands."

Nina saw that he was not holding the director's notebook, nor was he planning a shooting plan for a new project. Knowing that he would not be working at this time, Nina hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but said:

"Boss, I still want to remind you of some things!"

Seeing that the assistant's face was serious and she wasn't joking, Wayne asked in confusion: "What?"

"I have specifically learned about your investment. You'd better think clearly about investing in Warner Brothers. Investing hundreds of millions of dollars in this media company is not a choice that maximizes profits. It can even be said to be one of the least efficient. .”

Seeing her boss listening to her analysis carefully, Nina continued: "Your income from Internet stocks, namely Microsoft and Oracle, is much higher than investing in the film and television industry. These two companies are not ordinary Internet concept stocks. They are All have stable revenue channels.

This is very different from those companies that take a concept and go public to make money, and according to my analysis, these two companies are still growing rapidly. On the contrary, investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Warner Bros., although it can give you some voice, is not the most important. Your voice in the industry mainly comes from your works and profitability.

After this money enters Warner Bros., it will not bring you short-term benefits. It may be locked up for ten years. I have analyzed Warner Bros.'s annual report. The revenue figures of the media industry are eye-catching, but the profits are definitely not high. , the annual shareholder dividends are also relatively average. Compared with the Internet companies you invested in, the difference is not just a little bit, but dozens of times. "

Wayne nodded after listening. What Nina said is true. If you are investing to make more money, whether it is Microsoft or Oracle, it will have a much more promising future than Warner Brothers. This is undeniable.

There is indeed no need to increase one's own status in this way. As long as it can continue to succeed, Warner Brothers will definitely give itself the greatest respect and right to speak.

Nina was thinking about herself. There was definitely nothing to say about this, but he still said: "Nina, the matter of buying shares in Warner Bros. will not change. There will be many opportunities to make money in the future, including the opportunity to buy shares in the media group. It’s not much, at least it won’t lose money, right?”

"Okay." The assistant lady nodded. “It’s true that you won’t lose money, it’s just that the speed of making money will be slower.”

There is absolutely nothing wrong with thinking that everything should be considered based on money, especially in this capitalist society, where the amount of money represents the level of social status.

But what Wayne cares more about is the media group's huge media channels and influence. Besides, Nina doesn't have the brains to predict the future, but he does.

Not to mention the distant future, in another two years, Warner Bros. will take over the Wizards series. However, when Warner Bros. collapsed its main revenue source "Batman", the market value of this series has soared thanks to the Wizards. Annual revenue ranks among the top three of the six major companies.

Now that Warner Bros. has its own project, and with the addition of the Ten Billion Dollar Wizards series, it can only get better and better.

The Little Wizard series is a very rich piece of meat. No one knows better than him how much revenue it will generate in the horror market after its success. However, Wayne is very clear-headed. This thing is definitely not something he can play, so he Choose to let nature take its course and never reach out.

If you think that accepting the copyright in advance, registering a small film company, and then shooting the movie will trigger the Little Wizards craze around the world, then this idea is too naive.

Without huge global distribution channels and complete upstream and downstream operational capabilities, trying to speculate on this series that started with tens of billions of dollars is just a fantasy. This is a complete commercial society, and fairy tales will never happen in reality. .

And the most important point is that Warner Bros. or Time Warner's development potential is not low at all, and it will develop better and better.

It doesn’t take much, as long as after 2000, this company will be completely on the fast track. By then, Warner will rely on its accumulation over the years to develop a company spanning publishing, film and television industries, the Internet, etc., and almost all of the world's most influential media will have a presence in this company.

Famous ones include "Time Magazine", "Sports Illustrated", "Fortune Magazine", "Life Magazine" and other world-renowned magazines and media.

TV stations include CNN, HBO, Turner Television Network, TNT, Cinamax, cable movie channel, TBS-, The-Wb, Cartoon- and other cable and wireless satellite TV stations.

There is also the most important asset of this media group, Warner Bros. Pictures, which also owns small and medium-sized film distribution companies such as New Line, and DC Comics, which Wayne values ​​most.

Of course, all this is predicated on the merger of Time Warner and AOL in 2000. By then, AOL Time Warner will have complementary advantages and become one of the largest media groups in the world.

The past two years are definitely the best time to invest in Warner Bros., and by virtue of Warner Bros.'s status as a natural person shareholder, it can hold a considerable stake in Time Warner.

Even if Wayne goes bankrupt in the future, as long as he relies on this company, he will definitely become one of the richest people in North America, and it will also be the most invisible wealth.

This is just the beginning of Warner. When it gets mixed up with Comcast and Universal Pictures, this media group will be truly terrifying.

Wayne personally believes that this company is the only one that may have a chance to compete with Walt Disney. The remaining four Hollywood giants basically have no possibility.

"Hey, hey! Honey?"

Cameron Diaz stretched out his hand and playfully waved it in front of Wayne's eyes, pulling him out of his memory state. "Dear, you haven't answered my call for a long time. Have you forgotten me?"

"How come? I saw you on TV yesterday morning."

Wayne tilted his head and carefully observed the changes in this girl. Within a few months, she suddenly changed from a hot, sexy and enthusiastic girl to the little star she is now, and her head seemed to suddenly open up.

To say that her visit today was unintentional, he definitely didn't believe it. Naomi Watts had just left the manor yesterday, and this girl came over the next day. Either she was smart or someone had pointed her out, and she knew how to take advantage of the group of reporters at the door of the manor. Hype, this girl is not stupid.

"You don't blame me, do you?" Cameron Diaz hugged the man's arm and began to show off the beauty of his figure intentionally or unintentionally. He looked up at him and said: "You know, I am very grateful to you for your kindness to me. Help, what I said in the interview are all my sincere words.”

"Snap!" Wayne slapped Cameron Diaz's pert buttocks hard. "Dear, I'm a director, don't show off your acting skills in front of me! Do you understand?"

"Ah, it hurts."

He didn't save any energy from this slap. He could allow the woman to play some tricks to increase her exposure and satisfy her trivial material desires, but he had to remind her not to think that she was a fool and had nothing. Understand.

However, the girl only frowned and pretended to be stupid and skipped the topic. She rolled her eyes and leaned on his shoulder and whispered: "Let's go upstairs. I want to go to the balcony to see the scenery of Beverly."

The girl held Wayne's arm and pulled him upstairs to the balcony of the bedroom on the third floor.

When the two of them sat on the recliner together, Cameron Diaz observed his face and saw that he was not really angry because of his little actions, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Honey, I'm 24 years old this year!" She suddenly turned her head and didn't pay attention to the hands wandering around her body, but stared into the man's eyes and said.

"Oh, do you want me to wish you a happy birthday? Or do you want a birthday gift?" Wayne asked casually, looking at the busy gardener in the garden.

Cameron Diaz rolled his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "I mean I'm 24 years old and I don't have much time to waste on becoming famous. Can you help me, honey! "

"Oh?" Wayne suddenly laughed, looked at her and asked, "How do you want me to help you? In my next project, there will be no female characters with heavy roles, and the route you are taking now is very good. In the commercial films we invest in, there is never a shortage of opportunities for beautiful vases.”

Shaking his head, he thought anxiously. His work schedule was very full, and he could never squeeze out time to get Charlie's Angels out. Or could he wait until he became a shareholder and propose this project to Warner Bros. as a producer? !
