In the lounge of the lobby of the London Hilton Hotel, there were very few people in the morning, except for Ronan and others, there was also a person sitting on a sofa far away, bored reading the newspaper.

Peeked into the person who was shaking hands with Alan Albert, who put away the newspaper and left the hotel.

As soon as he got out of the hotel, he picked up the phone and dialed it and said, "Yes! I'm sure it's Ronan Anderson from the Hollywood Embassy Pictures! Remember a few months before the release of "The Human Eradication Project" last year? He went to look for you back then, so I could recognize him. ”

Listening to the instructions on the other side of the phone, he said, "Okay! I'll be watching here! ”

The man entered the hotel again, and for fear of arousing suspicion, he specially found a place far away, and observed the movement over there while reading the newspaper.

After shaking hands with Alan Albert, Ronan shook hands with Danny Donald again, looking at the other party's black eyes, black hair, yellow skin, and a sunny smile on his face: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Donald." ”

Danny Donald also smiled back, and deliberately observed Ronan for a moment, this man is sunny and handsome, full of sincerity, and there is no difference between his attitude and Alan Albert's.

This Ronan Anderson impresses him better than that Alberger Hoffman.

As far as he observed, this is not the kind of person who is biased.

Ronan certainly doesn't have any prejudice against Danny Donald, it's a deep-seated notion that can never change.

In the face of these two peers, Ronan seems very straightforward, straightforward and full of youthful energy, after all, Alan Albert and Danny Donald are only in their thirties, which is the age of full of energy.

After making introductions to both parties, Chris took the initiative to leave.

"Two, Universal Pictures' attitude towards Polygram Pictures is very obvious, they just want the film library. Ronan didn't go around in circles, and said directly: "You don't think about the future? Hollywood is the most suitable place for the two to play, and my embassy pictures is looking forward to the two joining." ”

Danny Donald didn't speak, just looked at Alan Albert.

On the bright side, the two are dominated by Alan Albert.

But Ronan carefully checked the information of the two and knew that the pair of good friends could influence each other.

Alan Albert said at this time: "It's all rumors now, and Universal Pictures hasn't made a final decision on what exactly it is going to do." ”

At this moment, smart people must be waiting for the price to sell.

Ronan could also see this, and said, "There must be a preparation for what happens, right? Embassy Pictures is willing to do the back of the two." He opened his briefcase, took out two copies of the materials, and handed them to Alan Albert and Danny Donald respectively: "This is the introduction of Embassy Pictures, including the Relativity Entertainment Group to which Embassy Pictures belongs, my company integrates production and distribution, and in a year and a half from last year to now, it has produced and distributed three low-budget and high-grossing films: "Human Eradication Project", "Blair the Witch" and "Death is Coming". ”

Alan Albert took a serious look, the information is very detailed, the introduction is also the most plain language, and the key positions also list a number of data, especially the revenue of the three movies mentioned by the other party, which looks shocking.

These three movies alone can be worth the income of Polygram Pictures in two or three years under normal circumstances!

Especially "Blair the Witch", in addition to the data list, there is also a marketing plan, he paid attention to the publicity and marketing of this film before, and he only thought it was wonderful, and now he sees the step-by-step detailed plan, which is really a genius plan.

It's a dynamic company!

Alan Albert looked at this information and naturally had this idea in his head.

Danny Donald is also reading the information carefully, and at the same time thinking in his heart, if Embassy Pictures has its own overseas distribution capabilities, how much will the income of the three films listed above increase?

A conservative estimate, a third, right?

Ronan waited for a while, and then said: ""Human Eradication Project" and "Death is Coming" are both films that can be serialized, and serialized films are becoming more and more important for film companies! I also plan to shoot another series of action films next year, and in the future, the company will also focus on developing serialized films, so that the company's risk is relatively small, it can ensure a stable source of income, and it will not easily cause personnel turmoil. ”

The turbulent PolyGram in the past two years has caused a lot of troubles for Alan Albert and Danny Donald, and the two also hope to stabilize as soon as possible.

Although Ronan was a step slower than DreamWorks, he had done a very good job of preparation before coming.

Alan Albert and Danny Donald didn't say anything, but in their hearts they both agreed with Ronan's statement of stability.

No one wants to work in a company that is in constant turmoil.

Ronan continued to talk about the advantages: "Embassy Pictures and all the companies under Relativity Entertainment are young and energetic, without the twilight of the old film companies, we are a dynamic team, dreaming of creating a strong future, a future that can at least compete with companies such as New Line Pictures!"

These words, Ronan took it a little, and created a future like the six major companies, although it is a dream in his heart, but it will inevitably leave the impression of people in the industry who are blowing nonsense.

Some things can be done according to the plan, and there is no need to rush to blow them out.

"Your company's development momentum in the past two years has been really good. Alan Albert admits this: "I estimate that this year's performance is comparable to even some of Hollywood's mid-sized companies. ”

Ronan is confident: "Next year's performance will be better." ”

Danny Donald interjected, "Mr. Anderson, please forgive me for one thing. Many small and medium-sized Hollywood companies like yours are constrained by funding. ”

"Yes. Ronan smiled at Danny Donald and said, "One of the biggest problems for small and medium-sized studios is funding, and even a film with a slightly larger investment can go bankrupt, but my company is not one of them." ”

Danny Donald asked, "Can you tell me?"

Ronan seemed particularly straightforward and sincere, without the slightest hesitation, and said: "My films are all financed and filmed, and there are stable financing channels, I have a stable cooperative relationship with Abu Dhabi, and I have successfully raised tens of millions of dollars from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. ”

Danny Donald and Alan Albert glanced at each other, but they didn't expect this person to have a connection with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

Ronan was observant and immediately spotted it, asking, "Have you two heard of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority?"

"I've heard of it. Alan Albert said: "There are said to be trillions in assets. They are now playing the idea of Manchester United in the Premier League, and it is said that Chief Mansour wants to buy the club. ”

Ronan was a bit of a surprise to remember that Mansour bought Manchester City in the previous life, right? and almost ten years later.

Maybe that's the change I've brought? After all, they've fooled them into buying sports clubs to increase their popularity......

The other party has heard of Mansour, so it is even better. Ronan added, "My source of funding is also Sheikh Mansour. ”

Hearing this, both Danny Donald and Alan Albert gasped, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority invests in films, is funding a problem?

"Two. To add credibility, Ronan said: "It's not a secret in Hollywood, you have a long-term relationship with Sony Columbia, and you can ask them for it." ”

He pulled Tom Cruise out as a banner: "I'm friends with Tom, and Alan, you're friends with Tom, and if my company doesn't have the strength, Tom can't introduce us." ”

Alan Albert nodded slightly, this statement is very reasonable, Tom Cruise is not only his friend, but also a parishioner, and this kind of critical issue will definitely not pit him.

Ronan made a judgment from the changing attitudes of the two people.

Of course, he didn't expect to be able to deal with these two people at once, but if he can impress them after today, bring a little inclination, and he will achieve his goal.

Ronan was just about to speak again, when suddenly there was a sound of dense footsteps, and a deep-haired nose in a suit walked over quickly.

"Alan, what a coincidence. Albert Hoffman seemed to see him alone and walked over to shake hands.

Danny Donald was expressionless.

Ronan saw this immediately, and then looked at Albert Hoffman, who seemed to have only Alan Albert in his eyes.

Albert Hoffman finally saw Danny Donald at this point, and nodded casually over there: "Hello, Danny. ”

Danny Donald also responded politely.

Ronan quickly had a guess that Albert Hoffman didn't seem to know much about the two men?

Then, he looked at Albert Hoffman's white skin, then at Danny Donald, and suddenly understood something.

There is a situation that even Ronan can't deny that the status of Chinese Americans in Hollywood, let alone compared with blacks, and even Latinos.

This is the reality.

If nothing else, if the director of "Human Eradication Project" and "Death Comes" was not James Wong, but a white or black director, they would have been blown to the sky by the media.

James Wong is just a little famous.

Ronan quickly calculated in his heart, and in just a few breaths, several rudiments of the plan flashed through his head.

If you don't have enough confidence, you must of course use all the conditions you can use to attack your competitors.

"Ah, and Mr. Anderson. Albert Hoffman had long forgotten who Ronan was, but the previous phone call also made him ring the past, and he took the initiative to reach out and shake Ronan: "I heard that your small company has been good lately? After more than ten years of making videotapes, it has finally come out with a few theatrical movies? ”

It seemed to be a word of praise, but he highlighted small companies and videotape films.
