Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 174 Funding Problems

It was originally planned to shoot MTV for a week, but it took only four days to complete it. There were factors that the rest only needed to be filmed in the studio, but it was more because of Angela’s amazing condition, and the shots that belonged to her It was almost a one-off, which made director David amazed.

In fact, anyone can see that Angela has been wearing that kind of smile that combines satisfaction, joy, and happiness recently. I don’t know what happened to make her so happy. As a personal bodyguard, Pu Guanshui once secretly asked Was she in love, but she was met with a blank stare and a sentence of "Go to hell!"

But if it wasn't right or far away, the girl would be so happy, who else but Natalie?Obviously, after Natalie leaked that night, her heart was relieved immediately. In fact, after the time at home, she wanted to rape Natalie several times when she was alone, but she was just afraid of losing her.

Of course, now, for the time being, this problem no longer exists. That night at the hotel Angela finally got her wish and had sex with Natalie again, and Natalie seemed to give up on herself after she leaked her words, and was still at Angela's mercy , and then lost in the feeling of harmony, hugged the girl and fell asleep until the morning.

"I hope this is the last time, Angie! I don't want us to be friends in the future." Although after waking up, Natalie seemed to have come out of the entanglement in her heart, and warned Angela like this through gritted teeth, However, she didn't dare to look at the other person from the beginning to the end, and even turned a deaf ear to Angela's words. It is conceivable how firm the words can be when she speaks in such an emotion, so Angela didn't take it to heart at all.Until I sent Natalie out, I still hugged her and kissed her from time to time.

Then, since MTV finished filming, it was going to start promoting in other states, so Angela reluctantly bid farewell to her grandparents, and Scarlett and her family left the Big Apple. I made friends and exchanged phone numbers and addresses.

As for Natalie, although she has been avoiding her since that night at the hotel, Angela is not angry either, anyway, there will be plenty of time to meet in the future.

Along the route of New York-Philadelphia-Houston-Kansas-Los Angeles, Angela signed and sold all the way.Since it has been more than a year since the last record, coupled with Disney's hard work in publicity and a little trick - such as giving away one of the three posters when buying the album, many diehard fans are willing to pay Buy more, so the sales volume reached 8 copies on the day of the first release, and more than 70 copies in the first week. In just one week, "Ahead" topped the "Billboard" list, and "As It Is" also entered the top 10. and "An Angel".The other seven songs are all on the list, and "Light" is still fluctuating in the top [-], so no one should underestimate it.

Along the way, the girl has enthusiastic fans everywhere, especially now that she is no longer the girl she was last year, and a beautiful girl can always attract more people's attention, so there are always over-scale fans every time the signing is signed. Fans came to the scene. When in Houston, many fans drove from other cities, which encouraged the girl and was frequently warned by the local police station.

It wasn't until three weeks later that Angela, who was exhausted, returned to Los Angeles. Although it was hard work, there were also rewards, such as the horrible dancing skills. After a few live performances, it finally got better, but... also Just some.

"Sometimes you feel that she is very stiff, completely manipulated puppet, or Angela also wants to create a new dance like MJ? Puppet dance?" "Rolling Stone" magazine teased.

“We recognized her musical talent. We were amazed by her musical creativity, but as the old saying goes, when God gives you something, he takes away. Obviously for Angela, well, you still stand Sing there." Billboard criticized mercilessly.

"Actually, I really don't have much talent for dancing, and I spend all my energy on music, so - if you think it's ugly, just laugh out loud, I don't mind." At that time, the girl said so mockingly.

However, this shortcoming and the girl's frankness made her feel a lot closer to people, and made more people like her, which was probably unexpected by Angela.

Of course, she doesn't have any extra thoughts to think about these things at the moment, and there are still many things waiting for her to do, such as going to see Jessica or Lindsay, or go to the uncle who just returned from London with Julia to find out about grandpa's attitude , as well as completing the script of "Game of the Brave", revising the Warcraft novel, and so on.However, the most important thing is - to invest in Pixar!

"Hey, wait, dear, how much did you say?" In the classic European-style study, Jared looked at his daughter in surprise with his mouth open, and he didn't notice when the pen in his hand fell on the desk.

"Not much, just 2000 million." Angela said with a smile.

"2000 million...just?"

"Yes, I will pay the interest, Dad, don't worry, everything will be done according to normal business procedures." The girl shrugged.

"Listen, Chris, you've only been home for three days, why would you want to come over and talk to me about a loan? What are you... going to do?" Jared asked a little funny.

Angela blinked: "I thought you knew?"

"Why should I know?" Father sighed.

"Because I told Mr. Sparrow what I want to do, didn't he tell you?" The girl spread her hands, and as early as Sparrow came to New York to discuss with Vincent about "Ten Stories of Azeroth." ", she commissioned an agent to conduct a preliminary investigation of the current situation of Pixar before coming.

Sparrow did a good job with his homework. According to his investigation, he only needs to inject about 2000 million yuan to get 30% of the equity. In Angela's opinion, this is really a bargain, but unfortunately—she didn't money!

Oh, that's not correct, to be precise, there is no liquidity, enough liquidity!The girl's current personal net worth is almost 4000 million, but under the management of the team assigned by her father, she bought 1000 million shares of Dell and Microsoft, and several million shares of a technology company called Cisco. For others, the working capital is only about 700 million.

Needless to say, Dell and Microsoft, especially Microsoft, once WIN95 was released in 95, it doubled immediately, and it is impossible to throw it away.As for Cisco, even if it is sold, it is only a few million, and the sum of working capital is still not more than 2000 million.Besides, although I don't have much impression of Cisco, it is a network company. According to Angela's limited financial memory, at least before the Internet bubble burst in 2000, there is still considerable room for appreciation.So after thinking about it, I realized that if I want to invest in something, my father must allow it, so I simply asked him to borrow it.

"You mean the Pixar animation company under Steve?" Jared finally remembered, jokingly said: "Chris, do you consider Jack as your financial advisor?"

"Isn't it?" Angela folded her arms and looked at her father teasingly, "Anyway, I can't order the financial management team you gave me."

Father smiled and got back to the topic: "Are you sure you want to do this, dear?"

"Of course!" The girl replied affirmatively.

"Okay, then, as you said, normal business procedures, I will give you a chance to convince me." Jared leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his hands on the armrest, and looked at his daughter with a smile.

Angela opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say. Should she tell her father that Pixar's 3D animation will be very, very profitable in the future?It's crazy!

"Well, it's like this. At the beginning of the summer vacation, Lisa showed me a short 3D animation made by the Pixar staff for her. I think they did a great job. If they would do a completely digital 3D Animated movie, then it will definitely cause a sensation, so as to get out of the current trough!" The girl said after thinking for a few minutes, and at the same time prayed that her father would not go to Lisa for support.

"Two questions!" Jared sat up straight, "First, do they have plans and experience in making full-length digital 3D animation films? Second, how to ensure that the 3D animation films they make can make money and save lives?" The whole company?"

"Well... I think they have been cooperating with Disney to produce computer-animated feature films, and they should have accumulated relevant experience. Their program development team also won this year's Oscar for Science and Engineering! As for the second one, I already have relevant experience. The concept of the script, and the general image of the characters, you should believe in my strength, Dad?" After thinking for a long time, Angela said so.

"That's not okay, honey, this level can't convince me." Father raised his finger and shook.

"Oh, don't be like this, Dad!" Angela stood up and looked at her father pleadingly, "It's not like I can't pay it back!"

"It's not a matter of paying it back, Chris," Jared said seriously, "2000 million investment is not too big, but you must have a detailed plan and enough profit expectations to convince others, no If you don’t, no one will lend you even 200 million.”

"Then let's do this, Dad, if I lose the 2000 million yuan, I'll quit the entertainment circle, that's okay!" The girl said hastily, ignoring all these things.

"Hey, honey, we're talking about investing, so we can't mess around." Jared shrugged.

Angela closed her mouth and stared at her father for a while, then left the study angrily.The father watched his daughter leave, sighed and shook his head with a wry smile. His daughter is really not suitable for the financial industry.

He thought for a while, picked up the phone on the desk:

"Yes, it's me, I need details about Pixar..."
