Chapter 7: Playing Dafa

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

In the lounge, Saleh identified himself, and Ronan and the others had already done a rehearsal, first a little surprised, and then surprised.

Everything is natural.

Saleh asked directly: "Ronan, you didn't think about going to the Arab world to look for investment?"

Ronan was not pretentious, and asked with surprise: "You represent the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority?" He looked at Saleh: "Do you want to invest in my film?"

Saleh hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, the amount is too high, I don't have so much power." But I can recommend you to Abu Dhabi, in the name of the Investment Authority. ”

"Really?" Ronan saw Saleh nodding and said, "It's great that you're willing to help, solving my biggest problem." ”

Saleh smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're speaking for the Arabs in this movie." ”

"Thank you. "Ronan was very sincere.

Saleh waved his hand: "I can only recommend, I can't guarantee whether I can impress people from Abu Dhabi to invest." Ronan, you'd better have a plan. ”

Ronan quickly stood up and looked for it, took out a plan from his briefcase, and handed it to Saleh: "This is the plan I prepared for my trip to Germany." ”

Saleh had heard Ronan mention it before, saying that he was going to Germany to find investment, and he took the document and opened it and looked at it, although he didn't particularly understand it, but he could also see that this was a very complete plan.

It's clear that Ronan has done a lot of workable work on this project.

This young man seems to be really reliable.

Ronan said at this time: "My father has worked with Germans before, so I plan to use my previous connections to hold a film investment promotion in Germany." ”

Whether it was this plan, or everything that had come before, Saleh could make Ronan feel the hard work he put into this project.

Compared with the brothers in Abu Dhabi who eat and wait for death, this Ronan Anderson is really a person who has a career in mind.

"How's the plan?" Ronan asked.

Saleh returned the plan and said vaguely: "It's okay." ”

Ronan then asked, "Is it feasible to move to Abu Dhabi?"

Saleh thought for a while and said, "It should be no problem, the Investment Bureau can assist you." However, there are some details about food and drink that need to be changed. ”

"Don't worry. Ronan nodded and said, "We will respect the customs of our Arab brothers." ”

If you can get investment, it's no problem to go there and change your fast.

Saleh explained a few more things and quickly left the hotel.

After the press conference and returning to the company, Ronan once again had a simple small meeting, and the whole company was mobilized.

Mary will assist Saleh with the formalities from tomorrow, George will keep an eye on the media and Robert will prepare all the necessary materials.

Although he had heard that the oil tycoons did not take money seriously and used Saleh, a well-established son of the royal family, to lead the way, Ronan was not careless at all, and if he wanted people to pay for investment, he had to do everything possible.

What he prepared was indeed a hoax, but the film project was real.

All the preliminary work is done very realistically.

The company's various documents, tax payment records, past films, membership certificates of the Producers' Alliance, relevant reports that have appeared in the media, etc., Ronan has made corresponding preparations.

The next day, when the media report came out, he specially purchased some newspapers and periodicals with relevant reports.

Although the Los Angeles Times only has a fist-sized story, the name of one of the three major newspapers in the United States is still very bluffing.

Even if the scale of the report does not have a big impact, it has some effect, the most intuitive thing is that more than a dozen agents have submitted their resumes of directors and actors to Shahai Entertainment.

Others called to inquire about hiring for behind-the-scenes positions.

Ronan certainly won't hire the director and the behind-the-scenes team right now, everything will have to wait until the end of the trip to Abu Dhabi.

When it comes to investment, the "Human Removal Plan" can operate according to the plan, but if it can't attract investment, you have to consider going to Ah San or other methods.

For more than a week, Ronan has always kept in touch with Saleh, who came to Shahai Entertainment several times, saw dozens of videotape movies in the library, and decided that this was a small but certain production company, and he asked Ronan to agree to send back to Abu Dhabi a lot of information, including the materials of Shahai Entertainment and the script of "Human Eradication Project".

Somewhat unexpectedly, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority attached great importance to it, not only sending an official invitation letter, but also responsible for the expenses of air tickets, accommodation and other expenses for Shahai Entertainment to Abu Dhab.

This made Ronan happy, a little bit of drumming, will it be too big?

But the thought of the money in the hands of the Arabs dissipated that concern.

Besides, this is not a money scam at all, he will really complete the project of "Human Eradication Plan".

During this time, in addition to preparing for projects, Ronan was not idle, learning more about the social and economic situation, especially combining the memories in his mind, looking for some ways to assist in entrepreneurship.

It is important to use the film project to turn Shahai Entertainment into a profit.

Having a profitable company also means that it is possible to enter the fund industry.

Borrowing chickens to lay eggs is the norm in the film industry, and film funds seem to have a certain degree of operability.

In this regard, he needs to investigate further and learn about it.

As for the attention of Abu Dhabi, Ronan can guess a little, the expenses of Shahai Entertainment are nothing in their eyes, and now Abu Dhabi lacks fame and influence, but there is no shortage of money.

In the past life, Abu Dhabi spent a lot of money in order to expand its influence, and the cost of the Premier League alone is astronomical.

Hollywood has worldwide influence, but the Arabs in Hollywood movies are basically bad guys.

The Arabs probably want to change that, too.

Receiving the invitation from Abu Dhabi, Ronan was more confident.

In the previous life, there were scammers who could get money from Hollywood experts by relying on a mouth and fake projects, and the possibility of getting money from Arabs who never knew Hollywood for a real project like "Human Eradication Project" is still relatively large.

What's more, after attending the press conference, the comrades of the Belt and Road Party were very active, and Saleh had already called him, saying that he would accompany Ronan to Abu Dhabi and assist him in preparing for the film investment fundraiser.

"I just graduated and have too little work experience. Saleh said: "It adds to my practical experience. ”

There was a landlord snake to help, and of course Ronan would not refuse.

The situation was so good that he did not relax and specifically asked a lawyer who was familiar with the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to make appropriate changes to the investment contract template.

In addition, he prepared several plans.

The worst result is nothing more than not being able to attract investment and returning in vain.

Before departure, dozens of large boxes were filled with the materials prepared alone.

Anyone who watches it will think that Ronan's small team is the one who is really doing things.

Of course, the money was also spent, and more than $60,000 was lost in Shahai Entertainment's account.

Ronan only took Mary and Robert Lee to Abu Dhabi, deliberately leaving George Clint in Los Angeles and letting him run with money and connections at the same time, so that the Human Eradication Project would be featured in the media from time to time.

In mid-February, accompanied by Comrade Saleh, a good friend of the Emirati people, Ronan Anderson and his party arrived in Abu Dhabi on an Emirates flight.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority warmly welcomes this friendly Hollywood company.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the most famous cities in the UAE, and Abu Dhabi has been built very beautifully in this era.

"This is the country of the Arabs?"

Sitting in the car, Mary was full of questions: "Is there such an advanced city in Arabia?"

Ronan just whispered, "They're rich. ”

It's not just Abu Dhabi that doesn't understand Hollywood, it's Americans who don't know Abu Dhabi either.

The image of Arabs in Hollywood movies may be driven by Jewish forces, but it is also a common perception among Americans.

The group stayed at the super five-star Emirates Hotel, which has the highest specifications in the local area, and there were media reporters taking pictures at the entrance of the hotel.

After the jet lag, before Ronan went to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, a senior official from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, accompanied by Saleh, came to him to discuss the next trip.

As a result, with the help of Saleh and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, the names of Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment frequently appeared in the media here, and there were also special personnel to assist Ronan in preparing for the film investment fundraiser.

After accompanying the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority to several events and giving two interviews, Ronan gradually came back to the idea that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was also using him to a certain extent.

Bringing in a Hollywood team, regardless of whether the investment is successful or not, is a big political achievement.

The struggle for power at the top of the Arab hierarchy is equally fierce.

The Shahai Entertainment and Film Investment Pitch quickly made a name for itself in Abu Dhabi.

According to Saleh, the current president of the United Arab Emirates and the boss of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi has also asked privately about Hollywood investments.

Looks like it's a bit of a big deal.

But now, Ronan can't back down, because the investment hasn't been pulled yet.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority helped him prepare the fundraiser and helped with the publicity, but he never talked to him about investing in the Human Eradication Project.

Ronan is not in a hurry, the hunter must be patient.

And compared to the behemoth of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, he is more willing to fool those small and medium-sized investors into investing at the fundraiser.

That way there are fewer consequences.

If the Investment Bureau threw millions of dollars, he would not refuse.

On February 25, 1998, the three-day film fundraising meeting kicked off at the Emirates Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
