The Best Entertainment Era

At Los Angeles International Airport, the security level has increased several times compared to before the 9/11 incident. If you want to board the plane, you must go through several extremely strict security checks, even for well-known actors like Anne Hathaway.

Ronan sent Anne Hathaway to the gate.

As a man with a conscience and a sense of responsibility, after learning that Anne Hathaway wants to return to New York to reunite with her family as soon as possible, Ronan has been paying attention to air traffic control. Booked a flight to New York.

Call me when you arrive in New York. Ronan looked at Anne Hathaway's slightly haggard face. The other party had obviously not slept well these days: If you need my help, just call me.

Anne Hathaway nodded heavily, and hugged Ronan tightly with open arms.

It's okay. Ronan patted Anne-Hathaway's back lightly, comforting: Everything will pass.

After speaking, he raised his head slightly and kissed Anne Hathaway's forehead.

Anne Hathaway buried her head on Ronan's shoulder and said, I'm fine.

She let go of her arms, took the luggage from David, waved to Ronan, and walked into the boarding gate.

It wasn't until Anne Hathaway's figure disappeared that Ronan turned and left.

A few days have passed since the disaster. Even though the attacks all happened on the east coast, the streets of Los Angeles have undergone obvious changes. Police patrols have become more frequent, and various security measures have been added to public places. Some people are spontaneously commemorating the victims in wide areas. .

Many of them prayed and raised donations for the victims.

This is the most basic and simple feeling of human beings, and it is also the most basic social morality.

Sitting in the car, Ronan looked at both sides of the road and could feel the changes in society.

For example, the almost naked body search and security check at the airport, before 911, was probably sprayed by the public and the media as the enemy of the free world and the retrogression of society, but now there is not a single complaint in the mainstream media, and even people who take the plane Everyone is very cooperative.

This is also the most prominent change brought about by the September 11 incident. Airport security checks and security have become stricter. Even private jets have some restrictions. In the past, these behaviors that would be called by the media and the public to infringe and restrict personal freedom are not now. people objected,

The North American continent is no longer an inviolable land in the minds of Americans.

The world is indeed changing, and so is Hollywood.

Hollywood movies have an eternal theme-little people save the world, another way of saying that is individual heroism.

The 911 Incident had a huge impact on the political and economic life of Americans, and the entertainment industry is naturally inevitable. Hollywood, which is in the leading position in world film and entertainment, will become more prevalent in individual heroism, and the public needs it more than ever before. A hero, even if it's just an imaginary hero.

Superheroes will be more popular than ever.

Another change, will be made in America for the entertainment market.

As we all know, the North American film and television market is basically an insulator. North American audiences have never been very interested in non-North American productions. After this incident, this market will become more closed, and it will be more difficult for foreign products to succeed. And consumers' choices will be more inclined to Made in America.

In the past, some European films that were popular all over the world were received coldly in North America, and this situation will become more serious in the future.

In the next few days, Ronan, as a well-known producer, also participated in Hollywood-related mourning and donation activities one after another. Not only did he donate 5 million US dollars, but he also rarely accepted public interviews with the media.

Any hero who stood up to save civilians deserves our respect. Ronan said solemnly: In the face of terrorists who point their guns at innocent people, no matter who they are, we should condemn them.

As a part of this society, Hollywood is being deeply affected by 9/11.

Since 9/11, Hollywood has been greatly impacted. The silence of the theater market alone has caused many films to become victims, especially those films that were just released when the incident happened, which undoubtedly became victims of terrorist attacks. Others Films that were planned to be released have changed their schedules one after another.

The entertainment industry is only a microcosm of the North American economy. The economic situation in the entire United States has been severely frustrated, and the scope has even spread to the whole world.

The U.S. stock market, which had just stabilized, was hit hard again. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq plummeted at the same time, and the decline was comparable to last year's Black March.

From the society to the brokerage, the whole United States is mourning.

After 9/11, the U.S. stock market had to be closed to stop the crazy selling.

Ronan generally understands that the negative effects caused by this unexpected event may not affect the stock market for a particularly long time, and the Washington authorities will not just watch the economy collapse in the terrorist attack. After all, this is completely different from last year's bubble burst.

After the September 11 incident, it was also the best opportunity to invest in the stock market.

The stock market crashed in 2000, and before taking a breather, the September 11 incident in 2001 ushered in. After two consecutive heavy blows, the stock market can only be described as bleak.

Ronan always pays attention to the situation of the stock market and constantly obtains first-hand information.

After stocks reopened on Sept. 17, the Dow Jones and Nasdaq both fell more than 7 percent on the day, less than a week after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by a half-percentage point to stabilize confidence in an effort to support stocks. Here, the drop reached 15 percent and continued to fall.

Ronan found Scott and planned to invest the funds of his personal foundation in the stock market.

The stock market is not optimistic. Scott said with a serious face, Many analysts believe that the overall decline of the stock market this month will exceed 20%, or even reach 25%, and in the next year, it is likely that It is difficult to return to the level before the incident.

He recalled, and said to Ronan: Since the stock market reopened on September 17, stockholders have sold stocks in a panic, causing the stock market to plummet. In less than a week, the Dow Jones Index, the Nasdaq Index and the S\u0026P Index The S\u0026P index fell by 14.3%, 16.5% and 12% respectively, and the estimated stock price has shrunk by 1.4 trillion US dollars. Although the government has injected a lot of money into the stock market, panic selling is still inevitable. The major stock indexes kept falling to their lowest point in five years.

Ronan nodded slowly: In other words, it is lower than the lowest point during the stock market crash last year.

Scott said with certainty: Yes, this is the worst moment for the stock market in the last five years.

Ronan's face was calm, and the waiting for this period of time was considered to be right.

In fact, after the bubble burst last year, it was a good investment opportunity, but he knew that the September 11 incident would inevitably have a serious negative impact on the social economy, so he held his temper and waited for a while.

Turns out, the wait was totally worth it.

Ronan said softly: The Washington authorities will not watch the stock market fall into the abyss, and it is estimated that the bottom should not be far away.

Scott does not fully agree with Ronan: I think there will be a longer period of decline.

Let the funds of the foundation enter the market. Ronan wanted to leave a certain amount of time for the investment to operate: It will start from the opening of the market next Monday.

Out of professionalism, Scott asked: Is it a bit early to enter the market now? After the incident, Ronan communicated with him, and he has done enough work in the past few days: The stock market will It's a long time to recover, we're putting big money into it, a long wait time...

Ronan knew that Scott's words made sense, but he was more aware of the future trends of some companies, and interrupted directly: The stock market is ever-changing, and for us small investors, it is never possible to find the best time. I It’s decided, we’ll enter from next Monday.”

Scott knew where he was. Seeing that Ronan had made up his mind, he said, Okay, I'm ready. He asked, What's the specific investment target and amount?

Ronan said directly: All of the foundation's 65 million US dollars was invested in the stock market during this period. The first target is Apple, and then Amazon. You are a good operator in this area, and the specific rhythm is in your hands.

I see, Scott said.

But thinking of Ronan's help to him, Scott couldn't help but said: Nasdaq was hit hard last year, and Internet stocks have been in a downturn. Although Apple welcomed back Steve Jobs, the situation in the past two years has also changed. Not a good time to invest in Apple and Amazon...

Ronan could hear Scott's good intentions, and after pondering for a while, he said, I have always believed that the Internet is the future. As for Apple, I believe in Steve Jobs.

Facing Scott, Ronan couldn't find a good reason. Even if he had studied the stock market in the past two years, it was only a general level of understanding, far inferior to that of a professional, and it would be timid to talk too much.

Ronan opened the briefcase, took out the document bag, and handed it to Scott: This is the relevant authorization, and you will be admitted on time next Monday.

Scott put away the file bag and said, No problem.

Seeing that the persuasion is ineffective, it is hard to say anything more, and Scott remembered what Ronan said to him before the Nasdaq bubble burst. Ronan's investment has always been successful, maybe he really saw what others saw. out of reach.

In this world, there has never been a shortage of people with unique vision.

Ronan urged again: Before the stock market rebounds, all the 65 million US dollars must be exchanged for the shares of the target company.

Don't worry. Scott is full of confidence: With the current situation, it is not difficult to achieve the goal.

Ronan nodded, and said, Call me if you have any questions, and keep in touch.

Scott said, Okay.

Ronan sighed inwardly, hoping everything goes well.

As long as the goal can be achieved, at least it can be invincible for a long time in the future.
