hollywood angel investor

On this day, after class, Yan Ruxin drove to the set wearing sunglasses.

After the broadcast of "The Oprah Show", her fans on various social media increased rapidly, although after her rebirth, she never posted new things on Angela's blog, FB and Ins, But this can't stop the enthusiasm of fans.

At the same time, there are fewer media chasing after him, only some tabloids are still trying to dig out her other women.

That's nothing to be afraid of.

At least her main purpose has been achieved.

Today is the day she has an interview with the Nolans.

When she walked into the building, she realized that she was not the only person Director Nolan had invited—there were many other actors who came to audition.

"Angela, come here~" Emma Thomas greeted her enthusiastically, and there seemed to be a vacant seat reserved for her.

"Hi, Emma, ​​Chris, is this casting for "Inception"?" Yan Ruxin sat down and greeted the Nolans.

"Yes, casting has been going on for two months, but many roles have not yet found suitable actors." Emma replied, "Come today and help us take a look..."

"Let's take this opportunity to talk about movies." Nolan nodded slightly with the demeanor of a British gentleman.

Yan Ruxin naturally readily agreed.

She knew that wanting to participate in Xin Kepi, which is nicknamed a "family workshop" film production company, was definitely not something that could be solved by spending money.

Naturally, she has the means of countless investment bank elites, who can hostilely acquire Xin Kepi, or create various crises to bankrupt it, but this is meaningless...

The value of Xin Kepi has never been the company itself, but Christopher Nolan, a god-level director, Emma Thomas, a top producer in the industry, and Jonathan Nolan, who has written countless logical stories. Screenwriter of the script...

What she wants to invest in is this "family" team that gathers top film talents, not a company that is just a shell.

Top angel investors choose teams, and top teams choose investors.

The most suitable cooperation has always been two-way, not one-way. What she needs now is the recognition of her from the team she admires.

Casting director John Pasdra continues to work on the casting.

Yan Ruxin also watched the performance seriously, and from time to time discussed her own opinions with the Nolans in a low voice.

Angela girl's unique film sensitivity and innate ability, coupled with Yan Ruxin's own sensitivity to capital and business, the ingenious fusion of the two just opened a door.

Film is art, a medium to convey the artist's emotions, and it is also an industry. If it wants to spread widely, it must adapt to the market and be commercialized.

At this time, these two completely different things, which are unavoidable in the modern film industry, have reached an ingenious balance in Yan Ruxin.

She can understand the emotions of directors, authors, and actors, and has unique insights. At the same time, she has the professionalism in business operations and the ability to capitalize.

It can be said that she herself is the best example of a commercial film - maintaining emotion, art, and high-level spiritual enjoyment, while not rejecting, and even combining commercial marketing and communication.

Yan Ruxin could feel that the attitude of the Nolans and their "nepotism" team toward her had gradually changed.

Gradually...their conversations have begun to cover the most core areas, from the creation and inspiration of the film they talked with Nolan to the core of production management and operation with Emma...

"Wait a minute and someone else is coming..." Emma Thomas blinked at her, "Although you already have a mysterious male god in your family, this big star is still worth looking forward to."

"Oh?" Faced with the ridicule, Yan Ruxin raised her eyebrows calmly, and thought for a while, "I heard that director Nolan wants to continue working with Christie, but he seemed to say that he would end the filming during the Golden Globes." Or, and I am very familiar with their husband and wife, no matter how handsome the model husband is, there is nothing to look forward to, so...is this the new male lead invited by Director Nolan?"

After hearing Yan Ruxin's answer, Director Nolan also turned his head: "It is indeed the male lead. I just sent an invitation. I never thought that an actor like him would agree without even reading the script."

Although Nolan's tone was calm, Yan Ruxin could hear the reserved pride unique to British gentlemen, and she joked: "In this way, I haven't read the script, but I'm ready to spend tens of millions , From this point of view, I seem to be more like a fool, unhappy."

If she had just met the Nolans, she would not have said such obvious words, but the current situation is that although they only chatted a few times, everyone hit it off immediately, and they all appreciate each other and have the intention to cooperate...

We are all smart people, so we can naturally feel that the time has come.

As an investor, Yan Ruxin doesn't mind if she is the first to show her favor, because this is not an immature young entrepreneurial team, continue to invest in angel investment, venture capital...

It is a mature and successful top team that has established a reputation in the industry, and it is an appropriate choice after understanding and communicating with a potential investor.

Money is very important, but it is not the most important factor. Like-mindedness and mutual understanding are the decisive reasons for Yan Ruxin to be recognized by the top team.

"Well, our attitude towards money-spending bosses seems to be the same. You have to get used to it in the future..." Nolan pondered for a while, pretending to be serious, but the next second the topic changed suddenly, and he was also abusive to his wife. The filmmaker said, "Honey, quickly show our script to the boss, but before that, sign the contract first, so that even if she doesn't like the script, the money has already been paid anyway."

Know that English gentlemen are as famous for their genial yet distant manner as they are for talking about the weather.

Being able to make a typical English gentleman goofy around you means that they definitely have you as a real friend.

Emma Thomas deserves to be the strongest driving force behind Nolan. She has magically conjured up a paper contract when she promised, and said: "These terms have been confirmed with your assistant Catherine Russell. ... Where did you find such a powerful assistant? I almost thought I was facing the entire Warner's legal team, no, even Warner's legal team did not have her alone to cause headaches."

Yan Ruxin took the contract, glanced at it, and found that, as Emma said, all the places that are likely to be ambiguous or have loopholes in the contract are all highlighted, and the amount and shares, although Yan Ruxin instructed Yes, but Catherine's rigorous attention to details far exceeded her expectations.

"You mean my assistant? Hmm... I picked it up on the road." Yan Ruxin said seriously.

Hey, it seems that she really "picked up" the treasure~

Emma Thomas looked disbelieving, she almost pointed at Yan Ruxin's nose and called her a big liar, she complained: "I have always wanted to find an assistant who is familiar with the legal field, from Harvard, Stanford Law School, to Law schools in Cambridge and Oxford...why can’t they find such useful assistants?”

"Ah... that must be because you didn't squat at the door of McKinsey to pick him up." Yan Ruxin said vividly.

"Did you really pick it up?" Even Director Nolan was surprised.

"Of course, and the big fools at McKinsey terminated the contract by themselves. I didn't spend a single penny, and I picked up an awesome barrister out of thin air. She can go to the international court to compete in international trade..." Yan Ru Feeling a little complacent, he gave the Nolans a look that could only be comprehended but could not be expressed in words, which made Emma Thomas's teeth itch with anger.

Back to the topic, although it was an audition, there was also a break in the middle. Yan Ruxin and the Nolans struck while the iron was hot and signed this contract.

The few people present, including Yan Ruxin, didn't realize what this contract, which was only 5 centimeters thick, would mean to Hollywood in the next 10 years...

Although the Nolans will watch every auditioner, the casting director has already cleared one round first, and the ones who appear in front of them are already the most suitable candidates left.

At this time, the actor mentioned earlier also appeared on the scene.

Leonardo DiCaprio-is definitely at the top of the Hollywood actor pyramid.

He made his debut at the age of 5. If you count it this way, you have been in the film and television circles for nearly [-] years. The heavyweight classic movies he starred in make him have a strong appeal all over the world.

However, he is equally famous for his handsome appearance and superb acting skills, because he changes girlfriends like changing clothes. Even if he is in a relationship, he still does not shy away from getting close to other actresses and supermodels...

Apart from Yan Ruxin, Leonardo is probably familiar with the members of Nolan's crew, and after signing the contract, Yan Ruxin suddenly became the "boss"...

Although it is a boss with quotation marks, in the face of such a top team, investors are the icing on the cake and will push the company to a better existence, not a life-saving straw, so it is very important to position yourself correctly.

In short, Emma Thomas focused on introducing Yan Ruxin and Leonardo to each other.
