The business car Ryan and Scott were riding towards Orange County, their destination was a city called Irvine, where Scott was optimistic about the "Silicon and Neural Bonds" studio.

"Silicon and neural bonds were established in 1991, co-founded by Allen Adhan, Mike Mohuaimi and Frank Pierce."

In the car, Scott Swift is introducing some basic situations to Ryan, "At present they have developed two games, "Rock Racing" and "Lost Vikings"... Well, the market response of "Rock Racing" is quite good."

In his previous life, Ryan was not a game enthusiast. The game he had played for the longest time was World of Warcraft. It was only a short month, and he was really disgusted with this aspect.

Of course, although I have never played the most famous games, I have heard of them a lot, but what are "Rock Racing" and "The Lost Vikings"?

"How many employees are there in the studio?" Ryan asked.

“More than ten.”

Scott's answer made Ryan scratch his head. If he hadn't known that he had always been cautious in doing things, he would have wanted the driver to turn the front of the car and return to Los Angeles.

"They will start the development plan for two more games this year. Because of the shortage of funds, they are looking for investment everywhere," Scott continued.

Since it was getting late when we set out from Los Angeles, it was almost noon when we arrived at our destination. Ryan, Scott and others simply found the small studio after lunch.

"Hello, Mr. Jenkins, I'm Allen Adhan, this is my partner Mike Mohuaimi."

The studio is not big. In a reception room, people from the studio are receiving Ryan and his group. They are extremely enthusiastic when he may pay for it.

Alan Adhan was still a little surprised, probably not expecting that the so-called investor would be a Hollywood star.

After a simple greeting, both sides quickly moved to the point. Alan Adhan introduced the basic situation of the studio and the next development plan, as well as the financial difficulties encountered, etc.

"The next step is to port the Lost Vikings to Nintendo's Super Nintendo and develop two games called Shanghai and Longan."

Listening to the other party's words, Ryan secretly curled his lips, and there were two other games he had never heard of.

Unlike Ryan, the soy sauce, Scott and the consultants he brought asked from time to time what they asked, many of which were professional terms. After more than an hour of talk, Scott proposed to visit the studio.

There is really nothing to visit in the studios of more than a dozen people, but following the crowd, Ryan also discovered some unusual places, such as the company's atmosphere is extremely relaxed, employees can decorate their workrooms at will, and they dress in various ways, with all kinds of discussions endlessly.

It's somewhat similar to the legendary Pixar. Ryan pinched his chin.

However, their group attracted a lot of attention.

"Is this the investor that Allen and the others have found?"

"Isn't that Ryan? Jenkins at the end?"

"Is it so weird that Hollywood stars invest in game studios?"

"He has money, haven't you heard of it? The salary for a movie alone is 10 million US dollars..."

After a quick turn, listening to the comments, Alan Adhan and Mike Mohuaimi couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

“In fact, we have a series of development plans for the future….”

Walking back to the reception room, Alan Adhan quickly raised a topic to avoid embarrassment, "After the two games this year, we will enter the real-time strategy category..."

"So, we need enough funds to support this plan." This time it was Mike Mohuaimi who spoke, "Silicon and neural bonds will become the top game development studio."

The remarks of these two people are no different from those of those reading producers when they invested. They are nothing more than the scattered description of the future. From their remarks, Ryan can infer that although the amount of funds they need is not large, they were rejected by many investment institutions.

Ryan has no confidence in these two guys, but believes in Scott's vision. In the past few years, although he has failed projects, he has more success, and most of the failures are just small losses, while success is often a big profit.

In general, it means that the money you earn is much more than the money you lose.

Scott was still discussing investment matters with them. Ryan sat silently on the sidelines, just watching. He could notice that the other party's eyes often swept through him. After all, as long as he is not a fool, he is the real investor.

The business negotiations all afternoon made Ryan feel dizzy and the investment involved was only one million US dollars. Although he didn't care much, it was already a big deal for a manager.

Although Scott is optimistic about this project, he is still cautious. If he wants to determine the investment, there may be several rounds of such talks.

In the car he went back, Ryan kept thinking until he was approaching Beverly Hills, and he said, "Scott, follow your opinion and take as many shares as possible..."

"Well!" Scoe nodded, "If I get the controlling stake, I will send corresponding property supervisors. It is best for us not to interfere in the development and operation of the game."

"You can handle it as appropriate."

It's only a $2 million investment, and Ryan can afford to lose money. If this game studio has no future, it's better to sell it at a price.

In the next few days, Riel often went to David Finch's studio to discuss the production of MV with him. In fact, the editing work for more than four minutes was not complicated, but the special effects production of Industrial Magic Light took some time.

In addition, while writing a few scripts, Ryan also wrote some miscellaneous things for the column of "Vanity Fair". In fact, one of his articles was already included in the first issue of "Vanity Fair" after the New Year.

The article is titled "How Hollywood Conquers the World". This blatantly erected a monument to American movies naturally won Hollywood praise.

"An industry should understand itself and the objects it serves. This should be even more true for consumers who are extremely large in the film industry. There is no doubt that in this regard, Hollywood is ahead of the whole world..."

Ryan took "The Sixth Sense", which achieved a global box office of more than 600 million US dollars as an example, and analyzed it one by one from the aspects of creativity, title, plot, actors, etc., which interspersed with many future evaluations of mainstream commercial films in this era, as well as Ryan's observations of Hollywood over the past few years, which was a sharp hit.

Although the article is subject to discussion on professional surnames, the narrative of the commercial elements of the film is refreshing.

"You can look at Ryan's works with a critical eye, but he can always understand what the audience wants. The article may not help the artistic surname of the movie, but it can inspire thinking about the promotion of film commercials. Senior executives of major film companies should read this article."

This is what James Cameron said in an interview with reporters on the set of "The True Lies".

Of course, he was not the only one who was interviewed. When Stephen Spielberg left Industrial Light and Magic, he was also asked by reporters about his views on this article.

"Yes, I've read this article more than once. I think this article will not only help Hollywood film practitioners understand the situation they are facing and the future development trends of commercial films, but also help people in other industries understand the film industry and the problems facing Hollywood. I think Ryan has made outstanding contributions to the development of Hollywood films in the 1990s!"

Not only people in the film industry, but also many people in the cultural circle have expressed their opinions in their columns.

"We have always been looking for knowledge that helps to increase the film industry insiders. The primary factor of this knowledge is practicality, not art theory floating in the clouds. Although Ryan's articles have some flaws in professional surnames due to his age, they are full of wisdom and systematic analysis, which can be called the compass for making commercial films."

The article can cause widespread discussion, which means that it has a huge influence. The most direct effect is that this issue of Vanity Fair magazine was out of stock and was printed once.

"Beautiful, Tina, you won again."

This is the congratulatory call from the group board to Tina Brown. The blonde woman is also sighing that signing Ryan Jenkins' column contract at a high price is definitely the most correct decision she has made since the 1990s.

"Ryan, how are you preparing for the next article?" This is the phone call she called Ryan.

"Please, Tina, it's still early!" Ryan complained.

"Have you chosen the subject? Maybe you can conduct a more in-depth analysis on this issue..."

Hearing the other party's words, Ryan couldn't help but curl his lips. "How Hollywood Conquers the World" almost exhausted all the inventory in his stomach. If he continued to analyze it, he would definitely show his timidity.

"You know, Tina, what I'm best at is writing stories. This kind of article with analytical surname is OK occasionally. If there are too many, there will inevitably be loopholes, so I'm going to write a few stories..."

Strictly speaking, "Vanity Fair" is a gossip magazine, but there are often articles such as essays, chats, and short and medium stories on it. Ryan naturally will not give up on his strengths.

Besides, this kind of article with a slight advocacy is fine if you occasionally do it, but often write it will inevitably make you laugh.

"Okay, Ryan, have a good cooperation."

Tina Brown quickly hung up the phone, and Ryan shook his head. For Vanity Fair, they probably valued the influence of the name Ryan Jenkins more than the story itself.
