Chapter 60: Regret (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

"I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up at the airport. ”

In the hotel suite, Saleh opened his arms and hugged Ronan and said, "I have something to deal with today." ”

Ronan parted ways with Saleh and said with a smile, "It's okay. He pulled away from him, looked Saleh up and down, and said deliberately: "There is a high authority." ”

Saleh smiled and said, "What a high position, it's not that it's not stained with your light." ”

Ronan shook his head: "Don't say that, it's the result of your efforts." ”

An Arab prince who is willing to do things, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, seems to be able to get some power.

"The film is about to be released, which is a visible achievement. Saleh said very seriously: "We have all seen the copy you sent in the mail, and it is really good, compared with the image of Arabs in Hollywood movies in the past, it has changed dramatically." ”

Ronan glanced at Saleh and said duly: "This movie illustrates one thing, in the United States, and in all of North America, not everyone is as hostile to Arabs as Jews. ”

Saleh nodded repeatedly: "Well, I've seen media reports in the United States, and many people agree with the theme and point of view of the film. ”

"The response to this film was unexpectedly good. Ronan added, "I think it's time for the Arab characters to be the main characters in the movie." ”

Saleh asked: "Do you have a plan?"

Ronan took out the script and plan that had been prepared long ago, and said: "This is a real mainstream movie, the genre is the most popular action movie in the world right now, called "Ace Agent". ”

Saleh looked at it, just read the story and the character, and nodded secretly, the Arabs will also save the world one day.

He didn't forget to ask: "Need the support of the Investment Bureau?"

"It's a really big production, with a budget of $20 million to $30 million. Ronan was sincere: "When filming "Human Eradication Project", I deeply felt the resistance from Hollywood, and under the encouragement of certain forces, the Producers League and the National Child Welfare Bureau went to the crew to find trouble, and "Human Eradication Project" would not have been completed without the support of the Investment Bureau. ”

Saleh nodded slightly, he had heard Ronan mention it when he was on the phone before, and then he looked at the news from the United States, as if the young actors in the crew had also talked about the Child Welfare Bureau in an interview.

These agencies are going to trouble the crew, who is the guy behind it? It must be the damned Jews.

"Lionsgate, which was launched just last year, is a new small film company controlled by Canadian money, which is less influenced by Hollywood's traditional powers, but has limited distribution capacity, otherwise more people will see the film," Ronan added. ”

It is very easy to win people's trust by mixing a little bit of falsehood into the truth: "The overseas distribution rights were sold to Sony Columbia Pictures, a film company that was heavily influenced by RB funds. ”

Saleh empathized: "It's not easy, Ronan, you have done what we haven't done for decades. ”

Ronan smiled: "The firm support of the Investment Bureau has helped me the most. He sighed lightly: "With this new project, without the support of the Investment Bureau, I am isolated in Hollywood." ”

"Ronan, I'll support you!" Saleh said.

Ronan nodded, "I believe that. ”

The two talked about other things, and when Saleh took his leave, he picked up the script and plan that Ronan had given him: "I don't have enough power now, I will send these to Brother Mansour as soon as possible, he is going to Saudi Arabia, and he will come back on the day of the premiere." ”

Ronan is not in a hurry, it is useless to be in a hurry when it comes to tens of millions of dollars in financing.

"By the way, one more thing. Ronan kept in touch with Saleh when he was in Los Angeles, and he had previously mentioned on the phone: "I have another film project, a horror film that needs financing." ”

He sighed: "I couldn't find a suitable director at the beginning, and those famous white directors asked me to change the script of "Human Eradication Project", but I never compromised, but fortunately I finally found the current director James Wong, in order to keep him, I had to sign a 1+1 director contract with him, and after "Human Eradication Project", I invested in shooting another horror film of his. ”

Saleh nodded slightly, unlike others, he had been in Los Angeles, had been in Hollywood, and had encountered all kinds of cold receptions, and knew that this situation was normal.

Ronan continued: "I'm planning to hold another fundraising meeting to raise money for the film. ”

"Little things. Saleh said directly: "I have someone to assist you with the relevant procedures." Ronan, if you need help, just ask, don't be polite to me. ”

In his eyes, Ronan's friendship with him and Abu Dhabi has been severely tested by the Jewish power in Hollywood and is worthy of trust.

After Saleh passed on the script and plan to al-Mansour, the sheikh was probably impressed by the project, and a three-member team from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority came to the Sheikh Hotel to assist Ronan and his party with the various official formalities of the financing meeting.

This time, Ronan also had a well-developed plan and brought a lot of material, and the financing will be held after the premiere, in the same venue as the last time.

At the same time, Ronan also asked Robert to contact the investors of the Human Eradication Project, ready to give them the corresponding return.

With Saleh's assistance, the media in Abu Dhabi will also report in due course.

Although the three-year investment agreement was signed at the beginning, Ronan made the plan with the greatest difficulty, and now that the project is progressing smoothly, the next step is to attract more investment, and the income of this part of the investor is undoubtedly the best bait.

…………

At the entrance of the Emirates Hotel, the bearded Hassan got out of the car, and as soon as he entered the hotel, he saw his friend Hussein.

"Coming so late?" Hussein greeted.

Hassan straightened his turban and said, "Adney and Alyssa had an affair today. Hey, it's also troublesome to have too many wives. He said in the tone of a passer-by: "Two wives are fine, don't marry four, you have a headache, and your waist hurts." ”

Hussein looked at Hassan's body, which has been emaciating over the past few years, and said: "I don't plan to marry again, it's important to make more money." ”

Hassan agreed: "Abu Dhabi has developed very fast in recent years, and if we don't find new ways to make money, we will all fall into the poor class." ”

Hussein glanced at his watch and pointed to the elevator: "Let's go up." ”

The two walked into the elevator room, and while waiting for the elevator, Hussein turned to the topic: "You also received a call from Robert of Shahai Entertainment, right? The investment contract was signed for three years, and it has only been less than a year, and we can make a profit?"

Hassan touched his beard and said, "It shouldn't be wrong." I have learned from my friends in the Investment Bureau that Shahai Entertainment is preparing to settle the last investment and profit accounts with the Investment Bureau, and it is estimated that it will be settled soon. His eyes flashed: "Shahai Entertainment raised $11 million in Abu Dhabi, not only did the cost come back, but it also brought in a profit of up to $9 million!"

Hussein exclaimed: "Almost double the profits, huge profits! More than oil! Ronan Anderson, that young man is so powerful?"

Hassan nodded: "I specifically asked my partners in the United States to ask, this film is a big box office hit, so the profit is very high." ”

"I would have invested more money if I had known. Hussein regretted a little, "We use $300,000 to do business, how long will it take to double the profits?"

When the elevator arrived, the two of them got on the elevator, and Hassan said again: "Don't mention it, the opportunity has passed." At least we earn more than those who don't want to invest. ”

Hussein sighed: "I just think that such a good opportunity should be more pitched." ”

Stepping out of the elevator, someone from the Investment Bureau led Hassan and Hussein into a conference room, and the two saw the busy young people at a glance.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson, we meet again. Hassan was the first to go over to say hello, and Hussein shook Ronan's hand.

Ronan has a very good memory and said with a smile: "Mr. Hassan, Mr. Hussein, it's a pleasure to see you again. He didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Thank you for investing in and supporting my film last time, and now that the income from the film project has been settled, I am ready to fulfill the contract." Of course, if you stick to the three-year deadline, I can wait a little longer. ”

The fool will continue to wait, Hassan and Hussein said one after another: "Now settle the settlement." ”

Ronan personally took the financial statements in both English and Arabic, handed them to the two men, and said: "This is the breakdown of the film's revenue and expenditure and net profit, each of which has annotations, if the two of you have any questions, we can answer them, and you can also find a professional lawyer for consultation." ”

Hassan, who is good at finance himself, looked through it, asked a few questions, and after Ronan answered them one by one, he borrowed a fax machine to send a copy to the lawyer and accountant.

Not only is this report beautifully done, but for the sake of planning, all the entries are within the legal norms, and even professionals can't find too many faults.

It didn't take long for Hassan and Hussein to sign, and then more than $500,000 was credited to their accounts.
