Chapter 67: Huge money in hand

After determining that Fontaine was a competitor who was going to pounce on him and grab the money, Ronan no longer had any more sympathy.

"Director Fontaine, don't you feel ashamed to say that you are an Arab brother and a member of the Arabs?" he angrily denounced: "Is there an Arab brother like you who collude with the suffering and sorrow of his compatriots and sell them wantonly to satisfy the Western world's desire for Arab ugliness?"

Saleh stared at Fontaine, his eyes full of anger, this man's mind was too vile!

Mansour looked at Fontaine with a rather unkind look.

"You're talking nonsense!" Fontaine retorted.

Ronan didn't entangle with him at all, and said to himself: "Taking it as your responsibility to scandalize your compatriots, and letting the West regard your compatriots as an inferior nation, directors like you are a heinous group that should be eliminated!"

Instead, he said to Mansour: "Mr. Minister, as long as there are such internal ghosts who are still here to destroy the image of the Arabs, it will be difficult for the whole world to have a correct understanding of the Arabs. ”

Mansour nodded lightly to Ronan, then looked at Fontaine, his gaze instantly sharpening.

If this "Arab Life" really appears at the three major film festivals, will it cause damage to Abu Dhabi's image? Will it cause damage to its own future and career?

Fontaine distinguished: "Mr. Minister, this is slander! This is ......."

"That's enough, don't say any more!" Mansour interrupted Fontaine directly, and asked Saleh next to him, "What do you think?" ”

Saleh immediately leaned in and said in a voice that could be heard by both of them: "Mr. Anderson's words are very reasonable, and when I was in Los Angeles I heard that some people made films that slandered their fellow citizens to curry favor with Westerners, and Mr. Anderson's friendship with us has been tested by time and a film project, and can be trusted." This Frenchman...... There is a possibility of ill-intentioned intentions. ”

After a moment's thought, he added: "I don't think it's worth taking such a risk at the critical moment when my brother is about to be promoted. ”

Mansour certainly has his own judgment, and Ronan Anderson may not be all right, but there is some truth to it.

Ronan felt someone pull him, turned his head to look, and Robert quietly gave a thumbs up.

Just like the first time he invested in Shahai Entertainment, Mansour was not a hesitant person, he immediately made a decision and said to the thin man behind him: "You go and book a plane ticket to send Mr. Fontaine out of the country as soon as possible." ”

Fontaine looked at Mansour in shock: "Mr. Minister......"

Mansour raised his hand to stop him from going on: "That's it!"

The thin man immediately went over and asked Fontaine to leave the conference room, and when he left the conference room door, two bodyguards followed, wanting to accompany Fontaine to the airport with his luggage.

In the conference room, Mansour's face looked much better.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Anderson. He squeezed out a smile: "Otherwise I'm going to make a mistake." ”

Ronan humbly said, "I just did what I was supposed to do. ”

One of the parties to the meeting had already been asked to leave, and Mansour did not intend to continue, and said directly: "The investment of "Ace Agent", I will urge the Investment Bureau to speed up the approval process, the funds are 20 million US dollars, even if it is me, some procedures must be followed." ”

Ronan was patient: "No rush. ”

Mansour was the first to leave the conference room, and Saleh walked over and said to Ronan, "I was a little worried just now. ”

Ronan smiled: "That person has bad intentions, as long as you study and understand the external award mechanism of Western films, it is not difficult to find out." ”

Saleh sighed: "Fortunately, there are professionals like you. ”

Ronan invited, "Shall I invite you at noon?"

Saleh shook his head: "I can't go, there is entertainment, I can't push it off." ”

After saying a few words, he quickly left the conference room, and Ronan and Robert returned directly to the Emirates Hotel.

"It's so risky this time. Robert let out a sigh.

Ronan nodded: "Next time, I'm going to change the target." ”

"Well, don't wait for the design to collapse and then change it. Robert sighed, "Fortunately, you responded in time. ”

Without Ronan's accurate and lethal counterattack, it is difficult to say that Shahai Entertainment would have been able to continue to cooperate with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Ronan took a glass of water and said before drinking: "If we can get this $25 million investment, our follow-up plan will be much smoother." ”

Robert planted a flag: "I hope there are no accidents." ”

Fortunately, the flag did not work, and the rest went quite smoothly, and only one day later, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority approved the investment plan of "Ace Agent", and the next day officially signed a contract with Ronan, who represented Shahai Entertainment, and the $25 million investment was in place on the same day.

In some ways, Abu Dhabi's credit is pretty good.

People with credit have to cooperate with people with high credibility, so Ronan feels that it is normal to reach cooperation.

So far, during this trip to Abu Dhabi, "Death is Coming" raised $15 million from Abu Dhabi's private sector, and "Ace Agent" was invested $25 million by the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

With 40 million dollars in hand, it gives people the feeling that the world has me.

This is the end of the trip to Abu Dhabi, Ronan bids farewell to the "Arab brothers" and prepares to leave the UAE.

"The money came too quickly. ”

In the VIP room at the airport, George Clint, who came to Abu Dhabi for the first time, had not yet calmed down his excited nerves, and randomly proposed: "Why don't we shoot movies casually in the future, and then look for investment all over the world?"

Mary glanced at him, "You're thinking too much. ”

Robert said with a smile, "I thought so the last time I came. ”

"It's okay to find investment, but you can't just shoot a movie. Ronan then said: "Successful films are the basis for us to raise funds, and if it weren't for the success of the previous Human Investment Plan, we would have been able to raise investment this time?"

George sighed, nodded and said, "Ronan, you are still the most sober." ”

Ronan added: "The foundation of a company is to grow bigger, and if we don't have a company of sufficient size to support us, we may be reduced to the lowest level of liars." ”

"Yes, yes!" Robert chimed in: "We are now called La Investment, and if there is no real company and project, then we are called liars." ”

Ronan changed the topic and explained the work: "Mary, you go back and deal with the funds and accounts, the budget of $20 million for "Death is Coming", the budget of $10 million for "Ace Agent", and the remaining $10 million, except for the reward share of the four of us, I will find a way to turn the rest into the legal income of Shahai Entertainment." ”

He looked at the other two: "George, Robert, you go back and immediately set up the crew of "Ace Agent", prepare the corresponding materials, I will keep in touch with you, and help me send anything to Berlin as soon as possible." James Wong's materials for "The Grim Reaper Are Coming" are almost ready, you can go to him. ”

Then, Ronan said solemnly: "The most critical job is to make initial contact with Embassy Pictures, especially the major shareholder. ”

"Good. The two answered.

Ronan finally said: "If everything goes well on this trip to Germany, I can go back to Los Angeles after the New Year, and I can communicate in time if I have something." ”

Leaving Abu Dhabi, Mary, George and Robert returned directly to Los Angeles, while Ronan flew directly to Berlin, Germany.

This time I went to Berlin, on the one hand, to make an appointment with Helen Koch, a relative of Mrs. Anderson Sr., and on the other hand, for the two projects "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" and "Ace Agent".

When he arrived in Berlin, Ronan did not go directly to Aunt Helen, but first went to a law firm that often cooperates with Hollywood, and found lawyer Mueller, who specializes in related business, to consult on specific laws and regulations.

Although he has studied many cases in Los Angeles, he still needs the help of professionals to implement them.

The law firm, itself acting as a kind of intermediary agent, Ronan needed their help in contacting German film companies.

After a careful conversation with MΓΌller's lawyer, Ronan rushed to West Berlin to meet Helen Koch.
