In the VIP room, seven or eight wealthy people are gathering to talk about movies and investments.

"Shahai Entertainment and that Mr. Anderson are very committed to the spirit of the contract. Hassan said to his friends: "Not even for a year, not only to return the principal, but also to pay the profits in place, and there is no other American businessman I have met who is as honest and trustworthy as Mr. Anderson." ”

Hussein replied proudly: "We don't just get profits, our names and avatars will also appear on the movie." ”

"Isn't it more than $200,000 in profits?" said a man with a particularly dark face: "Although we are not the really rich people in Abu Dhabi, we are not short of more than $200,000." ”

Hassan shook his head: "It's not more than 200,000 dollars, it's a ticket, Shahai Entertainment and Ronan Anderson have brought new film projects, and we are ready to invest more, and the benefits will be even greater in the future." ”

The blackface asked, "Can you guarantee a profit?"

"You're also a businessman, so you talk so layman!" Hussein retorted: "You are engaged in foreign exchange business, which can guarantee 100% profit?"

Black-faced people are speechless for an instant, and opportunities and risks go hand in hand, which is the most basic business common sense.

A young man in his twenties spoke up at this time: "Hassan, you must take me with you for this investment." ”

A man next to Hassan said, "Aren't you going to introduce Ronan Anderson to me?"

"Aziz, are you ready to invest too?" someone asked.

The man named Aziz laughed and said, "I missed the first opportunity and don't want to miss the second time." Those of us who work hard to make the little money in business will only depreciate if we keep it in our hands, so it is better to find the right channel to invest, I think Ronan Anderson is good. ”

"My brothers, don't you know?"

An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded, and then an unfamiliar face entered the small circle: "Americans can't be trusted! Hollywood is full of liars!"

Everyone else, including Hassan, looked at the stranger.

Fontaine added: "As far as I know, Ronan Anderson is not famous in Hollywood, and your investment is extremely risky!"

Just walked here and heard a group of people talking about Ronan Anderson and investing in his films, Fontaine couldn't help but listen for a while, that guy from Hollywood, there are so many people who take the initiative to invest, is there a mistake?

And he, who has been in the Middle East for a long time, has not even seen the shadow of funds.

As a pure French director, there is a natural dislike for Hollywood, without Hollywood, these film directors are in a hundred times better situation than now.

Can't compete for Hollywood in North America, can't compete for Hollywood in Europe, can't compete for Hollywood when you come to Arab countries?

Fontaine, relying on his identity as an Arab, looked at the investors who fell into the fairy tale of Hollywood dreams, and exclaimed: "Hollywood people are really not credible, they have too many tricks to deceive people, you have to be careful, that Ronan Anderson is not credible......"

"Who are you?" Hussein interrupted, "Why do you say that Mr. Anderson is not credible?

Hassan's face was a little ugly, he stared at Fontaine, and said: "This gentleman, the profits we obtained from investing in Mr. Anderson have been held in our hands, and Mr. Anderson has fulfilled the contract, and you tell me that such a person cannot be trusted? Heh, who are you? A stranger like you can be trusted?"

He asked his companions, "Which of you knows him?"

The men all shook their heads.

Fontaine was about to retort when Hassan saw Ronan and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Anderson is over there, let's go over." ”

The people were all gone, leaving only Fontaine standing here in a daze.

The situation is very serious, and it is not easy to overpower the competition.

Fontaine frowned, and once again complained about Mansour, the oil tycoon of the United Arab Emirates, so picky!

On the other side, Hassan introduced a group of people to Ronan, and after the two sides said hello, the people who had no intention of investing quickly left, and the rest seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement with Hassan.

"Mr. Anderson. Hassan lowered his voice and said, "I have a plan. ”

Ronan nodded, "Please speak." ”

Hassan gestured to the few remaining people and said, "My friends and I are interested in investing in your new film project. ”

"Okay. Ronan smiled and said, "We had a successful collaboration, and I want to continue working with my old friends." ”

Hassan added: "Shall we talk in another place?"

Ronan looked at his watch and said, "Well, we'll talk about it when the premiere is over." ”

"Good. ”

The two parties quickly agreed that after the premiere of the film, they would return to the Emirates Hotel to discuss the investment.

In the lounge on the other side, Muhammad was brought in by a fat man.

Sheikh Mansour exchanged a few brief pleasantries with the Arab actor and asked directly, "What kind of person do you think Ronan Anderson is?"

Muhammad was stunned, as if he had not expected the chief to ask.

Mansour smiled: "Don't be nervous, just chat privately, say what you see and feel." ”

"Okay. Muhammad barely thought and said, "Mr. Ronan Anderson is a good guy and kind to the crew, and the same is true to me, which is rare in Hollywood." ”

Mansour nodded lightly and asked, "Did the crew encounter a lot of difficulties?"

Muhammad thought for a moment and said: "Yes. As far as I know, Mr. Anderson contacted a number of distribution companies, but most of them refused to release our films, and I heard from the crew that the DreamWorks people refuted Mr. Anderson to his face and asked him to change the plot of the film. ”

What he said was what he really heard: "Mr. Anderson flatly refused. ”

Mansour went on to ask, "DreamWorks is the company that the Jews founded?"

"yes. Muhammad smiled helplessly: "So, I don't think it's strange that they did this. ”

It is not difficult for Mansour to imagine that Ronan Anderson did have a tense relationship with the Jews.

The two continued, and Mohammed's words proved that Mr. Ronan Anderson was a good friend of Abu Dhabi.

After a while, Muhammad left the lounge.

"It's not much different from what Saleh said. Mansour said slowly: "Ronan Anderson is a man worth investing in. ”

The fat assistant answered: "I just talked to Mohammed's wife, and I specifically set her words, Ronan Anderson is very good to them in the crew, according to her, Ronan Anderson should be an active member of the American leftist equalizers." ”

Mansour thought for a moment and asked, "How much investment does Ronan Anderson's new project need?"

The fat man replied, "$20 million to $30 million." He explained: "According to the description of the proposal, the situation changes greatly when shooting a big-budget action movie, and there may be additional budgets, but under normal shooting, 20 million dollars can basically be completed." ”

Mansour quickly decided: "That's $25 million." He raised his hand again: "Don't release the news yet, I'll wait." ”

The fat man nodded first, and then asked, "What about the French director's project?" ”

"Wait. Mansour thought of the previous considerations and said, "In this case, you contact Ronan and Fontaine respectively and consult with them, and I am going to have a meeting with them to discuss these two projects." ”

It is best to aggregate the advantages of both parties to achieve a balance between business and art, which is often said in the media, and the new film project can not only have a larger audience but also ensure artistic content, and it is best to win a few heavyweight awards to attract more people's attention.

Ronan entered the screening hall, where he sat next to Saleh, and sat down to talk to him, and Mohammed took a seat on the other side of the row.

Saleh said casually: "This actor is very popular in Abu Dhabi, and he was received by Brother Mansour just now. ”

Ronan nodded: "I think he can be the male lead of the new project." ”

When Mansour saw him, would he ask about the film or the crew? Of course he wasn't worried, because he did too much work in advance when he was on the set.

The premiere, which was an Arabic version, was a special Arabic version, which reduced the scale of the gore and accentuated the scenes of the Mohammeds, and at the end of the screening, there was a round of applause.

Ronan returned to the Emirates Hotel, read the script that Mansour had given him, and waited for Hassan and the others to come over and talk about investment.
