Chapter 120 Completion Guarantee

That afternoon, Bob Cohen from Allianz Insurance Group's Firefighter Fund Insurance Company received a call and immediately came to Burbank and found Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan received the insurance business manager in his office.

Bob Cohen entered the office, greeted Ronan, and looked around first, the office was simply furnished, and the most striking thing was the movie posters hanging on the wall, including "The Human Removal Project" and "Blair the Witch", which have already been released, as well as "Death is Coming" and "Ace Agent", which will be released within the year.

The success of the first two films is a typical example of Hollywood's small and big in the last two years.

The latter two films are very familiar, and the crew's insurance business is taken from the firefighter fund.

If the latter two films are successful again, Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment will definitely attract the attention of the whole of Hollywood.

It is estimated that the firefighter fund, which specializes in Hollywood insurance business, will also pay attention to it.

Bob Cohen is well aware that as an insurance business manager, if you want to continue to climb the ladder in the company and get more business commissions, you must have heavyweight customers under your hands.

"Mr. Anderson. Bob Cohen was polite: "Looking for me?"

Ronan had been busy yesterday afternoon adding details of the "Ah San" plan, the Indian film industry is huge, and Indians can be seen everywhere in many important technical departments in San Francisco and Los Angeles, and they must not use the strategy of entertaining the "Arab brothers" to face the "Ah San friends".

Since yesterday, he has asked Robert and George Clint to further collect detailed information about Indian Bollywood and private film investors, asked Dinah lawyer to inquire about the relevant legal provisions of the Indian side, and found professional companies to go to India to understand the status of industrial investment, etc.

In order to successfully raise funds, a lot of upfront preparation is a must.

Insurance is also part of it.

The Firefighter Fund is the most used, recognized and well-known insurance company in Hollywood today, and behind it is the huge multinational group of Allianz Group.

"I have a new film project here, and I need a third-party guarantee for the completion of the film. Ronan said directly: "I want to work with you." ”

Bob Cohen immediately asked, "Can you know what the project is?"

Ronan took out Robert Ludlen's original book "The Identity of Bourne", handed it to Bob Cohen, and said, "I'm going to adapt this into a movie." ”

Bob Cohen took it and glanced at the cover, which he had heard of and read once when he was in school, and only remembered that it was a secret agent's story, and he basically forgot the specific content.

After reading the book once or twice, it was normal for him to not remember it, and he didn't care, and asked, "Have you decided on the script, the director, and the actors, and do you have a plan for it?"

Ronan has nothing but copyright, to tell the truth: "This project has just been put on the agenda, the specific work has not yet been launched, and I intend to raise the production funds externally, and I need an insurance company as a third-party guarantee for the completion of the film." But I hadn't really worked on the Finish Guarantee before, and I wasn't particularly familiar with a lot of it. ”

Bob Cohen knows that this is true, whether it is Sand Sea Entertainment or the newly established Relativity Entertainment, they were small companies before, that is, after the success of "Human Eradication Project" and "Blair the Witch", they became famous.

"Mr. Anderson, the company has clear regulations in the third-party guarantee business in Hollywood. Bob Cohen is just a small business manager: "Your company hasn't worked with us on this. ”

Ronan added: "I already have two films on my side, "The Human Eradication Project" and "Blair the Witch" have been successfully released, and "Death is Coming" and "Ace Agent", which you are involved in the insurance business, have finished filming, and post-production is in the final stage, so we don't have any problems with our ability to complete the filming and production. ”

Bob Cohen said with a smile, "I'm very reassured about your company. ”

The most basic function of the third-party guarantee is the completion guarantee, that is, to ensure that the film completes all production.

This is to provide a guarantee for the crew, but also to provide the investor with a guarantee for the completion of the film, if the production company or crew has a problem, the insurance company as a third-party guarantee for the completion of the film will have to bear the corresponding responsibility.

For example, the filming of the film is overdue, the main actors suddenly quit, the funds exceed the budget, etc., all of which have to be paid by the insurance company.

In case something goes wrong with the crew, such as the bankruptcy of the production company or the withdrawal of the director, a third-party guarantee company even has to step in to take over the project and find the right people to complete the film.

Otherwise, a huge amount of money will be paid.

Of course, the insurance premium as a third-party guarantee is not low, and the completion guarantee fee for an ordinary film is 2.5% of the budget, which is adjusted according to the budget and difficulty of the film project.

Third-party completion guarantees for films with dangerous scenes, such as action movies, are generally 4 percent of the budget.

"Can you know the budget for this project?" asked Bob Cohen with concern.

Ronan knows how to attract insurance companies, saying, "The budget cost will not be less than $50 million." ”

Bob Cohen's heart raced, it's big business!

For the entire firefighter fund, a $50 million film project is nothing, and the company has projects with a budget of more than $100 million in cooperation with the six major Hollywood companies, but for Bob, a small business manager, $50 million is never.

"Movie genre?" Bob asked again.

Ronan needs a third-party guarantee for the completion of the film, so he is telling the truth: "The most popular action movie in North America at the moment." ”

Bob Cohen's heart is beating faster, and the cost of the final guarantee for action movies is generally four percent of the budget, and the $50 million budget is $2 million in policy.

Judging from several projects under Relativity Entertainment, this company is very reliable.

Bob Cohen made a quick decision: "Mr. Anderson, the company is very strict about the review of the completion guarantee. He smiled and said, "Of course, your company has a good reputation, and the completion rate in the last two years is 100 percent......"

Ronan could see that Bob Cohen was tempted.

Bob Cohen accentuated his tone slightly, emphatically emphasizing: "With your company's conditions and my assistance, the chances of passing the completion guarantee review are very high. ”

Ronan laughed and asked, "What do I need to prepare?"

Bob Cohen took the business very seriously, thought about it seriously, and said, "I'll go back and make a plan, plan the process and the materials I need, and bring it over tomorrow." ”

"Yes. Ronan agreed: "I'll wait for you here tomorrow morning." ”

If "Bourne's Identity" can win the firefighter fund as a guarantee for the completion of the film, even if the "Ah San Plan" is not successful, it can go elsewhere to find investment.

Sending Bob Cohen away, Ronan dug through the information he had collected about Indian films and investment, and watched it carefully.

Indians also hope to break into Hollywood, and after the economy develops to a certain extent, it often needs international recognition, and the most attractive place for commercial films to invest is of course Hollywood.

Ronan has some impression that after the Indian economy developed in his previous life, like the other side of the Pacific Ocean, he went around the world to participate in investment or buy internationally renowned brands.

For example, after the acquisition of the British Land Rover by the Tata Group, many people called it the Indian god car at that time.

This is, of course, a derogatory designation rather than a compliment.

The cooperation between Indians and Hollywood, Ronan remembers most clearly, is that Indian funds are invested in DreamWorks films.

However, in terms of time, that was years later.

Judging from what is known so far, Indians are still in the wait-and-see stage, and it seems that DreamWorks does not want Indian money to rush into investing in its big-budget films.

There was a knock on the door, Ronan said please come in, and Eva pushed the door open at the front desk of the company and said, "Mr. Anderson, there is a Miss Carmen Cays looking for you, and she said it is your friend." ”

"Carmen?"

As soon as Ronan stood up, Carmen Kayes beckoned to him from behind the women's front desk.

"Come in. Ronan greeted.

The female receptionist hurriedly left, closed the office door, and gave a special glance at Carmen Kaith, a woman with long straight hair and a shawl, a small and delicate face, an excellent proportioned figure, slender limbs, and an outstanding temperament......

Look at yourself again? Forget it, the gap is too big.

Ronan took a new cup, gave Carmen Kayce a glass of water, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Carmen Kath looked curiously at the book on the desk and said, "I participated in an event in the morning, and I had nothing to do in the afternoon and evening, so I came to see you." ”

She pointed to the book, "Are you studying business management?"

Ronan pulled out a chair and sat down, and said, "Just take the time to watch, I can manage a dozen or twenty people, but now I manage two companies, which is a bit difficult." ”

Carmen Kath knows a lot about business and says, "You can hire a professional manager. ”

"I've had this idea for a long time. Ronan smiled: "There has been no suitable candidate. ”

The professional manager system is very common in North America, and Ronan has also considered this, firstly, he cannot find a suitable candidate in a short time, and secondly, he also needs to participate in practical work to improve his ability.

Now he can withstand the pressure of the two companies of Embassy Pictures and Shahai Entertainment.

Carmen Kayth glanced at Ronan, "I'm not going to disturb your work, am I?"

Ronan shook his head: "No." ”

Carmen Kath picked up the book: "I'll see it, you're busy with you, leave me alone." ”

Ronan answered, stopped talking, picked up the previous information and read it again, during which he also observed Carmen Kath a few times, and Carmen Keith had been reading the book on business management very carefully.

Soon it was close to the end of the day, and Ronan saw Carmen Kath put down the book, simply put away the desk, and said, "Let's go." ”

Carmen Kath looked at him and asked, "Where to go?"

Ronan went over and took her hand and asked, "Go to my house?"

"Okay. Carmen Kath followed him away.

That night, the Golden God of War was riddled with holes by the Eternal Spear.
