Chapter 9: Hatred and Hatred

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

"This is Mr. Ronan Anderson, the president of Shahai Pictures. ”

"This is my brother Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of the UAE and Head of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. ”

Under Saleh's introduction, Ronan shook hands with the Abu Dhabi bigwig.

After making introductions for both parties, Saleh took the initiative to leave and leave.

In this splendid conference room, there were only four people left, and Ronan sat alone, next to Abu Dhabi bigwig Mansour, behind whom stood two entourages in their forties.

Ronan's head was spinning rapidly from the moment he saw Mansour, and he felt that the other party's name was familiar before, and even more so after meeting the real person.

The man was four or five years older than Saleh, and he must have seen that typical Arab face.

"Mr. Anderson. Mansour was very polite: "Welcome to Abu Dhabi." ”

Ronan smiled and responded, "Thank you." Thank you Abu Dhabi for giving me this opportunity. ”

Isn't this man the same Mansour chief of the Premier League club Manchester City in his previous life? At that time, he was already the agent of the Abu Dhabi consortium, which is said to have assets of more than a trillion dollars.

This is definitely a big guy.

Not to mention the previous life, just the two current titles can be called a big man.

Ronan has never dealt with a person of this level, and suddenly he was a little nervous, he could climb to this level, although the identity of the royal family is very important, but he must be very capable, and it is definitely not easy to want the other party to open the wallet obediently.

Even, once the response is not good, the previous efforts will be in vain.

This is a crisis.

But Ronan didn't show it, his face was calm and natural, isn't a crisis an opportunity?

If it were ten years from now, Arab money would have invaded the Western world in full, and he would have retreated with a few polite words, but now......

After coming to Abu Dhabi, he had frequent contact with the people in the investment bureau, and he could perceive the mentality of these people, and after completing the accumulation of oil funds, Abu Dhabi not only pursued investment to make money, but also wanted to make a name for himself in the world and expand his influence.

Mansour once spent a lot of money to invest in the Premier League, and is estimated to be a representative figure in this regard.

If Mansourken invests, the funding problem will be solved.

Although I have concerns, the opportunity is in front of me, and I can't let it go easily.

If you don't let it go, you may magnify the crisis countless times.

After a few polite words between the two sides, Mansour asked very directly, "Mr. Anderson, I heard that you just messed up a movie?"

On the first day of the fundraising meeting, he went to the site to see it, got a lot of information, and specially entrusted the investment bureau's headquarters in the United States to investigate the situation of Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment Company on the spot.

Although the results of the investigation have not been circulated for the time being, Mr. Anderson's performance and the fact that he has so detailed information that he even has tax records seem to be reassuring.

"Yes. Ronan knew he couldn't hide it, so he told the truth: "I raised six million dollars to make an action movie called Jedi, and it only turned out to be $800,000 at the North American box office. ”

Mansour frowned slightly, and a fat man behind him interjected: "The first part failed, and you can ensure the success of the second part?"

Their money was paid for oil, not by the wind.

Ronan observed very carefully, and it was not easy for Mansur to say this kind of impolite words, so he simply asked his subordinates to ask.

"A lot of big Hollywood directors and gold medal producers, like Spielberg and George Lucas, didn't make their first films. "Ronan is not afraid to mention the failed past," James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", his first film "Piranha", also ended miserably. ”

"James Cameron's first film also failed?" the fat man doesn't seem to quite believe.

Ronan smiled: "It's not a secret in Hollywood. He added: "I can't compare to these amazing characters, but 'Jedi' was the first film I made, and I was impulsive and aggressive, and I made a lot of mistakes. The failure made me fully aware of my mistakes and prevented the next project from making similar mistakes again. ”

Mansour laughed and took the initiative to change the subject: "Listen to Saleh, you have encountered a lot of difficulties for the Jews?"

Ronan smiled again, his smile was a little bitter, and said, "It's nothing, the non-Jewish forces in Hollywood, cough ......"

He deliberately looked at the two men behind Mansour.

Mansour understood what he meant and said, "Rest assured, I guarantee in the name of Al Nahyan's family that our words will not be passed on. ”

In fact, Ronan is not afraid of rumors, and he can find a lot of reasons such as slander from Arabs, which was specially made for Mansour to attract his attention.

"As you may have heard, the Jews in Hollywood are very powerful. Ronan turned his attention to the sworn enemies of the Arabs, "and there is even a tendency to control the whole of Hollywood." ”

Frankly, he doesn't have a good sense of either, and even worse than the Arabs, but this is not the time for emotion.

I once read the words of a Hollywood bigwig, which is very reasonable: Remember, don't be emotional, this is the entertainment industry, and if you are serious, you will lose.

This can be applied both to who Hollywood movies speak for, and to personal feelings in the circle.

Mansour nodded: "Hollywood, which is controlled by Jewish forces, has been smearing Arabs. ”

Anyone who pays even a little attention to Hollywood movies can see it.

Ronan's words are still true: "There are many people in Hollywood who don't like Jewish forces, but they are all suppressed and ostracized by Jewish forces. ”

Think about Mel Gibson, an A-list superstar plus an Oscar for Best Director, and how miserable he was later.

At the mention of Jews, Mansour grimaced, but also aware of the prevalence of anti-Semitism in the United States.

The Arab world is at odds with the Jews, and the vast majority of the UAE army is used to defend against Israel.

"My father and I, as well as Shahai Entertainment, belong to the non-Semitic forces in Hollywood. Ronan's words are not nonsense, and the Anderson family has little contact with the Jews: "The Anderson family has no Jewish blood, has always kept their distance from the Jews, and has never said good things about the Jews in all the films they have made." ”

Except for "Jedi Life", Shahai Entertainment produces typical mill B-grade films, which pay attention to simplicity, absurdity, violence and blood, and have never been mixed with things that are easy to cause disgust to the audience, such as national emotions.

Ronan began to slowly add to the veranded truth: "Since its inception, Shahai Entertainment has only obtained a total of $2 million in loans from the investment capital of the film industry, which is heavily influenced by Jews, and all of them are asset-backed loans!"

Some resentment appeared on his face: "My father is very capable, but he is limited by funds and cannot expand Shahai Entertainment. ”

Old Anderson's conservatism, coming out of Ronan's mouth, completely changed: "Many small companies founded at the same time as Shahai Entertainment have become medium-sized companies, but what about Shahai Entertainment? ”

"What about your father?" Mansour asked.

Ronan's eyes were red: "Died in an accident." ”

Mansour hurriedly said, "I'm sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter. Ronan continued to add: "My father told me a long time ago that he wanted to make big sand sea entertainment and make big movies. ”

He seems to be a super filial son: "That's why I made "Jedi Life" impulsively, and I also wanted to fulfill my father's wish. ”

Mansour was relieved: "The future will be successful." ”

Ronan said bitterly: "If Hollywood is not the Hollywood controlled by Jewish forces, Shahai Entertainment is definitely not the current situation. ”

Again, he told the truth: "I applied to the Hollywood Producers Alliance for funding from the Film and Television Industry Allowance and Health Program. Shahai Entertainment is a member of the Producers Alliance, and it has to pay a lot of dues every year, and this plan was originally used to fund companies and producers who are in trouble within the Alliance, but the voice of the Producers Alliance is in the hands of large companies. ”

A small amount of adulteration continued: "The top management of large companies is basically Jewish, and Shahai Entertainment and I refused to get closer to the Jewish forces and were rejected. ”

Mansur nodded slowly, and Ronan's words reminded him of the situation in the Middle East, as Jews have always been.

Suddenly, he had a feeling of hatred for the enemy.

Ronan added: "The bank refused to take out a loan, and the funding could not be approved, so I had to raise funds to save myself." No matter how difficult it is to raise funds, I will not sing the praises of the Jews in the film. ”

"That's right. Mansour agreed: "If you bow down to the Jews in trouble, the Jews will only become more arrogant and domineering." ”

Ronan judged from Mansour's words and attitude that at least there was nothing wrong.

There is no way, the simplest way to win the favor of the Arabs is to make a fuss about the Jews.

"Mr. Anderson, I personally appreciate your approach to the Arab characters in the script. Mansour changed the subject again: "Why not let the Arabs be the protagonists?"
