"Things aren't going well?" Tom Cruise's voice came over the phone, "Ronan, are there other companies that want to recruit Alan?"

Ronan thought for a moment and said into the phone, "yes." The people from DreamWorks also came to London......"

With the help of Tom Cruise, he gave the matter a rough rundown.

Tom Cruise immediately understood why Ronan made this call, and said: "I can't help with this matter, I can't interfere with Allen's choice, it's disrespectful to a friend, I hope Ronan can understand." ”

Ronan was prepared and said: "Tom, you also know that the battle between the DreamWorks Big Three has become increasingly fierce in the past two years, Alan Albert joins DreamWorks, and it is very likely that he will become a victim of the company's internal struggle, and the equity of Relativity Entertainment is all in my hands, the company will not be so complicated, and it is more conducive to the development of new members." ”

Of course, this is all false, Ronan is just holding Tom Cruise for the time being, and don't let him hang up the phone yet.

If Tom Cruise still refuses, it's basically no fun.

"I haven't worked directly with DreamWorks or Spielberg, though. Tom Cruise didn't directly refuse: "But once this kind of thing gets out, it will affect my relationship with Spielberg, which is very bad for me." ”

The implication was already more obvious, and of course Ronan could hear it, and said, "Tom, you make a few phone calls and persuade Mr. Albert from the side, no one else will know." ”

If you want such a superstar to help, you must pay for the labor fee, Ronan was prepared before he called, and Tom Cruise specifically mentioned it to him when he met at the last party.

This is the labor fee that Ronan prepares.

However, in the face of Hollywood superstars, who are very high-profile, they must not be able to say it directly, isn't that the opposite side?

Ronan had already figured out what to say, "By the way, Tom, I have one more thing besides Mr. Albert that I need your help with. ”

Tom Cruise on the other side of the phone frowned, it seemed that he didn't have such a deep friendship with Ronan Anderson, right?

If I had known, I shouldn't have made that call.

"My company, Shahai Entertainment, is preparing a sequel to the Human Eradication Project......"

Originally, Tom Cruise had the urge to hang up the phone, but when he heard the name "Human Removal Plan", he immediately became interested, and his ears pricked up, catching the voice on the other side of the phone: "I have a bit of a difficult cash flow right now, with a budget of $6 million, and now there is a $1 million funding gap." ”

Tom Cruise laughed, "A little problem. His mind raced: "Is $1 million enough? I happen to have a spare amount of money in my hand, about $3 million......."

Ronan has changed his hand to a phone, has been in the industry for nearly two decades, and has a film company of his own, and Tom Cruise has worked out even if he was semi-literate before.

It's going to be half of the investment in Human Eradication Plan 2, and like this kind of joint investment in the industry, half the investment basically means sharing half of the benefits.

Tom Cruise made an offer, and there was talk about it, and Ronan talked to him about it, and finally decided that Tom Cruise's company would inject $1.5 million into the Human Removal Project 2.

The two finalized the investment, and the specific details were naturally discussed by people in the company.

Ending the call with Ronan, Tom Cruise was quite satisfied with the business, this kind of small deal involving only a few people, as long as a little attention is paid to, it will not be circulated, and even if it is circulated, Spielberg and DreamWorks can't do anything with him.

Tom Cruise is well aware that behind him is Paramount Pictures!

He thought about it, first called the church's higher-ups, asked the church people to put pressure on Alan Albert, deliberately waited for a while, and then called Alan Albert personally, in the name of the church, to persuade Alan Albert to prefer Ronan Anderson's embassy films.

Even if DreamWorks and Spielberg knew about it later, this would be the pot of Scientology, and he Tom Cruise was just a poor worm controlled by Scientology.

Over there, Alan Albert also said that he would seriously consider Ronan's invitation.

In London, Ronan asked Danny Donald out alone, and specially chose London's Chinatown, where Danny Donald grew up.

In the private room of the teahouse, Ronan washed and brewed tea in a few ways, which made Danny Donald's eyes almost fall off in shock.

Ronan poured Danny Donald good tea and said, "Taste it, it's the best ......" At this point, he switched Chinese: "Dragon Well before the rain." ”

Danny Donald's eyebrows unconsciously raised, picked up the small teacup, took a sip, and then said: "Mr. Anderson can speak Chinese?"

Ronan smiled and said in Chinese, "Can say something." His Mandarin is quite standard: "When I was young, I traveled to the East and learned some of it. ”

Although Danny Donald is a second-generation immigrant, he speaks Chinese well: "It's rare to be able to speak Chinese so fluently here. ”

"The main thing is to love the culture over there. Ronan said with a smile: "Five thousand years of civilization accumulation, the United States can't compare with an upstart." ”

Danny Donald showed a look of reminiscence: "I went back with my mother a few times when I was a teenager, and three years ago because of work, I passed by there and went to see ......"

Ronan has investigated Danny Donald in detail, so he naturally knows his background, otherwise he would not have chosen to meet in such a place.

Danny Donald suddenly asked, "Mr. Anderson is very fond of Oriental culture?"

Ronan didn't deliberately say that he liked it, and said with a smile: "I have studied the culture of many places. Arab culture, African culture, and so on, these are all parts of the world. ”

Danny Donald nodded lightly: "The culture of every nation belongs to the world's treasures. ”

"Hmm. Ronan extended in his favor: "Just like the film industry of this world, colorful films make up this wonderful world. ”

He continued: "In my opinion, movies from all over the world should be more interconnected, take my relativistic entertainment, for example, the money to make movies comes from Arabia, some from Germany, and some from the United States, and the use of actors is more diverse, Arabs, Africans, whites, Asians, Latinos, can all be the protagonists. ”

Danny Donald drank the tea from his cup and looked at Ronan, who was undoubtedly a very left-minded young man if what he said was true.

The company's boss is on the left, and it is very easy to drive the overall atmosphere of the company to the left.

Ronan poured Danny Donald a full cup of tea again, still in Chinese: "Have you seen the "Human Eradication Project" I made? And "Ace Agent" released on Thanksgiving this year? These two movies reflect the ideas I just said. ”

Not to mention, after getting the information given by Ronan, Danny Donald specially found several signature movies under Relativity Entertainment and browsed them roughly, and the main actors are really of all races.

"Both films are good. Danny Donald said: "Especially 'Ace Agent,' I love it. ”

Ronan drank the water in his cup and said: "James Huang, the director of "Human Erasure Project" and the director of "Death is Coming", has a Chinese name called Huang Yiyu, he is a generation of immigrants, and he is very happy to work with me, and after directing these two films in a row, he is about to prepare to cooperate with me in "Human Eradication Project 2". ”

Although he is a person in the British film industry, Danny Donald also knows that James Huang is of Chinese descent.

A boss and company who is willing to reuse Chinese directors?

"Mr. Anderson, you're amazing. Danny Donald suddenly laughed and said, "Better than all the young people I've ever met." ”

Ronan smiled, "I'm just stating some facts. ”

All of what he said was true, and there was no falsehood.

I can only say that I am fortunate to know the direction of future development, and I know that the road to the left will become more and more spacious in the future.

To really open up in Hollywood, you have to be inclusive, or at least show it.

Ronan didn't attack DreamWorks directly, and it's not too late to start the tea art with Danny Donald, who likes to drink tea, but fortunately, he has been in contact with it in his previous life, and he doesn't understand it and has his current skin as a disguise, so he won't be embarrassed.

It's been a long time since anyone has talked to him about this, and Danny Donald tells Ronan a lot about the art of tea.

Later, the two talked about the football game again, probably with a good impression of Ronan, Danny Donald revealed that he and Alan Albert will go to Manchester to watch the game during the Christmas holiday and will stay for about a week.

It wasn't until it was dark that the two men came into contact with the interview and left London's Chinatown.

Ronan then contacted Chris, who had already reported to Gustafson that Sony Columbia had considerable concerns about DreamWorks might have overseas distribution channels, and according to Chris's phone call, Gustafson was already contacting people from other companies.

Based on the information obtained, Ronan also made adjustments in a timely manner.

Danny Donald found Alan Albert, who had just concluded talks with Albert Hoffman.

Alan Albert said, "Danny, you should come along. ”

Danny Donald shook his head: "I don't like that person, maybe you didn't notice it, but I can feel it clearly." He didn't dwell on that, and asked, "How's the talk?"

He offered the price on behalf of DreamWorks. Alan Albert said: "I have an annual salary of $500,000, you have an annual salary of $200,000, and a year-end bonus based on the performance of the released film. ”

The salary is a bit higher than what they used to be, but it's not absolutely attractive.

Danny Donald thought for a moment and said, "I think we should hear Ronan Anderson's offer. Alan, you've also read those materials, Ronan Anderson's company is growing rapidly, and with the support of a consortium behind it, the future may not be as good as DreamWorks......"

Alan Albert thought of the persuasive call he had received from Tom Cruise and nodded, "Okay, let's talk to Ronan Anderson again." ”

The two discussed in a low voice.

It was completely dark, and Albert Hoffman left the hotel where he was staying and went to the bar he frequented, and as soon as he sat down at the bar, a sexy girl came over.
