After drinking a glass of champagne, Robert was surprised to find that Ronan had actually chatted with the Arab man and seemed to have a good time.

"Looks like I'm underestimating Ronan a bit. He muttered.

Then he saw Ronan and the Arabs out of the banquet hall.

Robert stared at the door of the banquet hall with interest: "Ronan has grown up." ”

Maybe this time we can really get investment from the Arabs.

In a quiet corner of the rest of the hotel lobby, Saleh asked for two glasses of water, placed one of them in front of Ronan, and asked, "You owe a bank loan, and you have offended the Jews, and the chances of getting a loan are low." ”

Ronan's words stand up to the test, but they add a lot of resentment against the Jews.

Jews are very influential in Hollywood, but there are many people in Hollywood who don't like Jews, but these people don't like Arabs either.

"I'm ready to give up looking for investment in China. Ronan seemed very frank, "There is a wider world overseas, and Germans have always liked to cooperate with Hollywood." ”

He gently hammered the table: "After the project launch conference of the new project next week, I will go to Germany to find investment." ”

"Good luck. Saleh raised his glass and asked curiously: "You want to hold a press conference, what is the new movie about?"

Ronan groaned for a moment and said, "Hmm...... It's too detailed for me to say. He laughed: "I wrote the script, and the key characters are you Arabs." ”

Saleh asked tentatively, "It can't be a villain, right?"

"No!" Ronan shook his head, "The character setting is probably like this......"

He briefly talked about the Arab family as the main supporting role.

"It's not like the Arab characters in traditional Hollywood movies. Saleh said.

Ronan said directly: "Actually, the point I want to express is very simple, there are good and bad Americans, good and bad blacks, good and bad Jews, and Arabs are also good and bad. ”

"That's right!" Saleh agreed, then added: "Why doesn't Hollywood understand such a simple truth?"

Ronan shook his head: "It's not that I don't understand, it's that I turn a blind eye." He turned his head quickly, and said while thinking: "So, there needs to be a movie like this to wake up the audience." Just like the black movement, as long as a small gap can be opened, there will always be a day when the preconceived perception will be reversed. ”

He spread his hands: "Aren't all the people in the world the same? There are good people and there are bad people." ”

Saleh was more curious about the film and asked, "You're going to have a press conference? Can I go and see it?"

This is also his own job, he is ambitious, otherwise he would not have come to Los Angeles at all, and he could have gone back to Abu Dhabi to eat and die.

"Absolutely. Ronan said the time and place: "Welcome!"

He has been considering how to invite Saleh to the press conference, and it would have been better for Saleh to offer it.

On the point of Hollywood's smearing of Arabs, the two had enough topics in common to talk for almost an hour.

Ronan never mentioned that he was going to invest in the Arabs, and Saleh never said who he was or what he does.

But under Ronan's unobtrusive guidance, the two talked happily and had a particularly speculative conversation, and when he said goodbye and left, Saleh specifically asked for his mobile phone number and told Ronan to leave a place for him at the press conference.

Getting into Robert's car, Ronan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his face vigorously, fortunately, he was a business elite in his previous life, and he did a lot of tricks and abductions.

"Did it go well?" asked Robert.

Ronan nodded: "It's okay." ”

In the days that followed, he was very busy, reviewing the storyboards and posters produced by the hired team, formulating the framework of the shooting plan, finalizing the gifts to be given at the press conference, personally calling and inviting media reporters, going to the Producers Alliance to report on the "Human Eradication Project", preparing to speak at the press conference, looking for a lawyer to make and revise the financing contract template, etc.

Even, he went to the director's union to issue a recruitment notice and released a recruitment advertisement for behind-the-scenes personnel through the media.

If you want to use this project to make money, all the preliminary work must be done as if it were real.

During this period, Saleh asked him to meet several times, and the two had a good conversation.

Saleh has no friends in Los Angeles, and it is very difficult to invest in culture and entertainment, and under Ronan's deliberate targeting, the friendship quickly warms up, and even Saleh wants to see the specific story, he agrees.

After Ronan repeatedly told him not to spread the word, he sent an electronic version of the script to Saleh, and after Saleh read it, he called and almost said that Ronan was an old friend of the Emirati.

…………

On the first Wednesday of February, after a temporary delay, Saleh arrived at the Hilton press room, which was already full of journalists.

He went to say hello to Ronan first, didn't bother too much, got a set of promotional materials, and found a place to sit.

There were a lot of reporters in the hall, and Saleh specially watched the meeting, and there were nearly 100 reporters with hang tags, and there were more than a dozen photographers carrying cameras alone.

Not far away, there was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.

It seems that this project has had a big impact in the media.

Saleh has not been idle these days, and has collected some information about Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment, which is not large in scale, but it is an old company that has been established for more than ten years.

Ronan Anderson did face financial difficulties, and the Jewish-influenced financial institutions did not lend him at all.

The only two loans Shahai Entertainment had in the past were also extremely harsh mortgages with only 70% of the physical value.

Frankly, he wanted the project to have a wide impact, and after reading the script, it was very comfortable to see the Arabs becoming the saviors of the Americans.

Opening the promotional materials in his hand, Saleh took a serious look at them, whether it was a poster or a sketch, the production was quite fine.

Although there are not many scene sketches, the comprehensive design shows Shahai Entertainment's dedication and determination to this project.

Unlike that cannon-mouthed Leonardo, Ronan Anderson is clearly a doer.

"We invested nearly $20,000 in this press conference. ”

In the lounge behind the press room, Mary watched Roger straighten his clothes and said, "Just to put on a show for that Arab?"

Ronan raised his finger and shook it: "This scene is not for someone, but for everyone to see." ”

In case the Arabs can't get through here, he is still going to fool Ah San and the like, anyway, the identity of the savior can be changed casually.

Robert Lee walked over at this time and said: "Saleh's main job in Los Angeles is to investigate the investment feasibility of the cultural and entertainment industry, and if he can take the initiative to support it, it will be easier for us to work later." ”

There was a knock on the door, and George Clint pushed the door in, reminding, "It's almost time." ”

Ronan nodded slightly, put on his flat glasses, and said, "Let's get started." ”

The reporters in the press room suddenly fell silent, and Saleh saw Ronan come up to the podium and collect the materials, which were of great value for investigation.

Ronan on the stage began to speak, and the reporters around him were carefully taking notes, and Saleh had read the script and could hear that Ronan was introducing some basic information about the project.

The press conference was a bit boring because he had read the script, and he didn't pick up his spirits until Ronan announced the amount of investment in the project.

"Shahai Entertainment will make 'Human Eradication Project' a medium-sized action thriller movie with an upfront budget of $10 million! The director is still looking for a candidate for the time being, and the cast has already sent invitations to Jamie Lee Curtis, Drew Barrymore, Johnny Depp and George Clooney......"

Saleh had heard of all of them.

Jamie Lee Curtis played the heroine of "True Lies", Drew Barrymore was born as a famous child star, Johnny Depp seems to play the scissorhands, George Clooney is a little unfamiliar and vaguely remembers playing the doctor.

He doesn't know much about Hollywood, and the ones who can remember the name must be stars, Ronan is ready to make a big move.

No wonder you need financing.

$10 million, even he can't come up with.

At the beginning of the reporter's question session, a reporter specifically asked about the funding: "Mr. Anderson, your company's last film suffered serious losses, do you still have funds?"

"There are real difficulties. Ronan's words reached Saleh's ears: "We face a certain funding gap, but I am confident that we can solve it through financing. ”

Ten million dollars is his carefully considered choice, which is higher than the investment of the previous film, but not too much.

Saleh frowned slightly, and began to think, so that he didn't listen to the questions that followed.

You can't make a movie without money, and such a project that tends to be Arab will inevitably die if you don't have money.

Thinking of the anti-killing and rescue of the Arabs in the script, Saleh felt that this movie was better filmed.

I have been in Los Angeles for nearly three months, and I have not made any achievements, and I am responsible for the investment investigation of the cultural and entertainment industry, because of the rejection of those Jews in Hollywood, there is no progress at all.

Maybe this could be used as a breakthrough?

Since you choose to come out and do things, you must make some achievements for people to see, otherwise what is the difference between you and those guys in Abu Dhabi who eat and wait for death?

Unfortunately, I don't have any money in my hands, and I don't have the right to decide on large sums of money.

Saleh is responsible for the investment review, not the investment decision.

Hollywood movies have a wide influence, involving the image of Arabs, and he does not dare to make rash decisions.

After the press conference and the reporters quickly left, Saleh approached Ronan and decided to have a good talk with the guy who had a lot of appetite for him.
