In the film booth at Warner Studios, Rakesh and Nick Roth Khan sit on a couch in the dark, staring at the not-so-large screen across from them, on which the first Hollywood movie they invested in is being screened!

Although the film is only a clip of more than 30 minutes, it still firmly sticks to the eyes of the uncle and nephew.

The young Nick Roth Khan, in particular, is more fond of action movies.

On the small screen, a wonderful car chase scene is being staged.

It was an old MINI. Cooper, it looks very unremarkable, except for the messy interior and the paint that is starting to fade, the headlights are patched, and the air pressure on the tires is not very high.

And it is such a simple and somewhat dilapidated "classic car", which has an absolutely thrilling but no exaggeration of the car chase scene with the Paris police on the streets of Paris.

Nick Roth Khan's hands clenched into fists unconsciously.

In the palms and feet of the male protagonist, who looks inconspicuous but is actually very eye-catching, this old-fashioned cooper seems to be "waking up from a dream".

Whether it's on a narrow sidewalk, navigating the wrong side of the road, or rushing straight down a very angled staircase, this ageing Cooper is no problem.

And in this kind of real car chase scene, there is no absolutely gorgeous crash performance in "Brave Island" that he has seen, but instead there is a collision and rollover of a car that is closer to life after it cannot brake urgently.

And at this moment, Nick Roth Khan found that even without those fancy crash scenes, when the male protagonist drove the Austin . MINI. Cooper pulled into the underground parking lot and came to a halt, and the heart he was hanging from was able to settle down.

The picture on the screen suddenly disappeared, and the lights in the pull room came on, and Nick Roth Khan reacted and turned his head to look at Ronan next to him: "Is there no more?

It was clear that he hadn't seen enough.

Ronan smiled with a little apology and said, "So far, only these have been edited. ”

Nick Roth Khan patted his leg lightly: "It's a shame that I can't read it all at once." ”

Ronan smiled and advised: "This film has not yet completed production, and it is currently in the stage of absolute secrecy, I hope the two of you will not reveal what you watched today to anyone, so as not to affect the release of spoilers." ”

Nick Roth Khan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Ronan. Don't forget, we're investors too. ”

Ronan said, "You go to my office and wait for a while, I'll take care of the work here, and I'll be over in a while." ”

"Okay. ”

Nick Roth Khan and Rakesh Roth Khan followed a crew member to the producer's office.

Ronan asked people to pack up the copies, sent someone to send them to the vault, and asked someone to prepare the relevant materials for "Tales of the Night".

In the other office, after the crew left, there were only two people left, Nick Roth Khan and Rakesh Roth Khan.

"Young people are the main force in the film market, and old guys like me can't keep up with the trend. Rakesh-Roth Khan asked, "Nick, what do you think of this film?"

Nick Roth Khan said with great certainty: "It's a great shot, uncle, do you know how I feel after watching it? I can't help but want to see the rest of it, and I can't wait!"

Knowing that his nephew was not the kind of person to exaggerate, Rakesh-Rohan nodded and said, "This is a masterpiece?"

Nick Roth Khan nodded: "I think the chances of success in this film are too great, and it may even cause a sensation like a famous spy movie like James Bond or Ethan Hunter." ”

"This Ronan Anderson is not ordinary. Rakesh-Roth Khan whispered, "No wonder there has been a success. ”

Nick Roth Khan said at this time: "Uncle, Shahai Entertainment has an excellent reputation, and the quality of the films shot is guaranteed, since we want to continue to invest in Hollywood, it is better to use raw than cooked, Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment's project is a good choice." ”

Rakesh Roth Khan said: "Let's start by looking at the projects recommended by Ronan Anderson. ”

The two waited for a while, and Ronan came to the office with his assistant Connie.

"I think this is a wonderful spy film that is no less than "Tomorrow's Crisis" and "Mission Impossible". Nick Roth Khan didn't hesitate to compliment: "Ronan, you've done a great job. ”

Ronan was also not modest, and said: "This is the result of the hard work of the crew and the entire Shahai Entertainment. ”

The three of them talked about "Spy Shadows", and Rakesh-Roth Khan went directly to the new project and asked: "Ronan, you called last month and said that there is a new project to invest in, and the Mountain Foundation has just completed a new financing in Mumbai, let's talk about the new project." ”

The film has been filmed and produced, the quality seems to be good enough, and the feedback from all sides is full of good news, unlike when Ronan had to find a way to get investment from the first time they worked together, Rakesh Roth Khan is about to become a film that I want to invest in you!

This is the result of a successful partnership.

Ronan chose this time to invite Rothhan's uncle and nephew to Los Angeles while he was waiting for Paul Greengrass to finish post-production on the screening.

"Look at it. Ronan beckoned to Connie, and when Connie handed the materials to Uncle Rohan's nephew, he said, "Here's the script, the proposal, and some of the concept artwork. ”

The first thing Nick Roth Khan saw was the concept artwork, and when he saw the first one, he felt inexplicably amazed.

Although the faces on the concept art are blurry, the graceful figure outlined by the black tight leather outfit gives people a feeling that they are so cool that they have no friends.

Ronan briefly introduced at this time: "The story of this project is roughly about the dark and unknown underground world outside of humans, where two hostile races are active: the aristocratic and mysterious vampires, and the ferocious and savage werewolves, who have fought for centuries for the right to survive and dominate the underground world. ”

"To humans, they are nothing more than ghosts and legends in the streets, but in reality, the fierce confrontation between the two sides has never stopped, and they have been fighting each other all their lives, vowing that one side will not stop when one side falls......"

Ronan used the most concise language to explain the plot of the story in general terms.

After the story is finished, just like Ronan has seen before, but anyone who is a little sane will not be so excited that he has no friends because of a story, let alone some inexplicable violent emotions because of the story of the script.

To put it bluntly, the plots of Hollywood commercial movies today are very cliché.

Most of the popular commercial movies, if you just look at the storyline, it will even give people a very bad feeling.

"Werewolves and vampires?" Rakesh-Roth Khan didn't know much about these things.

Nick Roth Khan, who studied in the United States and worked in Los Angeles, had more exposure to Western culture, and then asked: "Ronan, as far as I know, there are many movies about werewolves and vampires made in Hollywood, and this theme has been a bit flooded in the past two years, and there have been many films that have not received a good response from the market. ”

It's normal for investors to have some doubts, but Ronan doesn't care, and says with a smile: "This is not a traditional werewolf and vampire theme. ”

Both Nick Roth Khan and Rakesh Roth Khan put down the information in their hands and looked at Ronan.

Ronan did not take it for granted that the Mountain Foundation would have to cooperate a second time because the two sides had cooperated once, but still showed 100% seriousness, saying: "Since the birth of movies, vampires and werewolves have been enduring hot themes in Hollywood movies, and "Tales of the Night" is ready to dig deeper, in order to compete for the dominance of the hidden world in the city, the war between vampires and werewolves has been going on for a century, and we hope to create a world where vampires and werewolves coexist based on science." ”

He was confident: "We were going to abandon mysticism and start with science, so we created a virus that was the cause of vampires and werewolves. We can explain everything according to genetic logic. If it's a genetic mutation or a change in blood type over the years that creates a vampire, then we can find a way to kill the vampire, and we can also explore why silver can affect this blood type, so we can say that our vampires and werewolves are more plausible. ”

Nick-Roth Khan asked, "So this is a brand new vampire and werewolf story?"

"So to speak. Ronan thought for a moment, then said, "To be exact, this is a Romeo and Juliet story constructed between werewolves and vampires. The Romeo and Juliet model has endured for hundreds of years, and the essence of the story of many Hollywood blockbusters is still Romeo and Juliet. ”

Nick Roth Khan is not the kind of complete layman, nodded and said: "Actually, many Bollywood films are like this. ”

Ronan continued: "For this project, we intend to have Len Wiseman, a student of great director Roland Emmerich, as the director. ”

"Roland Emmerich who directed 'Independence Day' and 'Godzilla'?" asked Nick Roth Khan.

"Yes. "Len Wiseman is his most relied on student and assistant, and we have reached a preliminary agreement with Len Wiseman," Ronan said. In terms of actresses, we are interested in two candidates, one is Oscar winner Angelina Jolie, and the other is British Rose Kate Beckinsale. ”

Nick Roth Khan glanced at his uncle Rakesh Roth Khan and asked, "How much is planned to be invested in this project?"

Ronan didn't misstate and said, "$20 million." He further said: "Allianz's Firefighter Fund is still invited to act as a third-party guarantee for the completion of the film. ”

At this point, the only doubt that Rohan uncle and nephew had basically dissipated.

Rakesh-Rohan said: "Ronan, we can't stay in Los Angeles for too long, you arrange this investment negotiation as soon as possible." ”

"No problem. Ronan said with a smile.
