Although the royal family in modern society has long lost real power, and the current Prime Minister Tony Blair once wanted to push for the abolition of the British royal family in the whole society, anyone with a brain knows very well what kind of influence the Windsor family has in this country.

The UK market is not small, and like the United States, it is also a core member of the English Five.

In addition, the UK also has its own advantages in industries such as culture, football, film and music.

Ronan used to be a fan and paid great attention to the relationship with the Premier League, knowing that Willian was not a big fan, and he would become the president of the FA in a few years.

Maybe it's just an honorary title, but the involvement with the heirs of the House of Windsor should not be underestimated.

The topic was quickly brought to football by Ronan, and the two chatted for a while about the Premier League and the England national team.

'England have been very good at this year's World Cup. Ronan said naturally: "If it weren't for the Brazil team that won the championship later, the England team could have gone far." ”

Willian whispered: "In this kind of top-level competition, the role of the stars is very important, England were beaten by one man. ”

Ronan chimed in: "Ronaldinho is in great shape. ”

I don't know if Ronaldinho should be praised for his genius or if David Seaman is a consistent weakness in handling lobs.

It seems that since David Seaman, England's goalkeepers have not been reliable.

Later, there was a saying that "if the sky is loved, the sky will be old, and I will meet Hartmund with a kick", and the England national gate has become the background painting of countless world waves.

However, Manchester City's replacement for Hart was very unsuitable for the Premier League, and he sent the name - Regent.

Willian added: "The current England squad is a golden generation and hopefully there will be a good performance in the next European Championship. ”

Ronan nodded: "There should be, they will be more mature by then." ”

It seems that every England team will be touted as a golden generation by the British media, and it will be praised very high before the game, and the dogs who will be scolded after the game will be bloody.

It has to be said that the British media is quite clever in earning eyeballs.

Pick it up and kill it again to have heat.

After chatting about football, William suddenly said: "There is a salon party about football in Chelsea in a few days, and I will go there then, and Mr. Anderson can attend if he is interested." ”

Ronan smiled and said, "It's an honor. ”

The Premier League seems to be the most commercially valuable football league in the world.

Although the value of the NFL may be higher, the influence of American football is not as strong as that of football, the world's number one sport.

Ronan has had the idea of a professional team for a long time, and although he doesn't have the strength to actually implement it now, he can prepare a little in advance.

The publicity role of the football platform is still very huge, especially the Premier League, thanks to the promotion efforts, the advertising sponsorship on those giant teams is almost astronomical.

Of course, Ronan is very clear-headed, and professional football has always been very low in the plan, so in the case of insufficient strength, most of them stay at the level of ideas, and have not really implemented them.

Like Netflix, production and distribution companies, and animation studios are much more important than professional teams.

Seeing that someone came to William again, Ronan offered his farewell at the right time, and specially exchanged business cards with William before leaving.

Ronan learned from his conversation with William that football has become a part of British culture, and it seems that using football as an intermediary can effectively open up the social network here.

Later, under the introduction of the head of the British branch of Embassy Pictures, he got to know many people in the British media industry, including Rupert Murdoch's son.

"I've been working in Asia for some time and only moved to the UK this year. ”

James Murdoch is Rupert Murdoch's second son, and after learning Ronan's identity, he was more enthusiastic: "Ronan, I've heard some Fox executives talk about you, and your achievements in movies are enviable. ”

Ronan said modestly: "Compared to Twentieth Century Fox, it's too far behind. He asked curiously, "James, what business are you in charge of here?"

James Murdoch pushed down his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "I'm still familiar with Sky TV for the time being. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "Hopefully we can have a chance to work together." ”

James Murdoch abruptly turned to film: "If I were at Twentieth Century Fox, I would have pushed the production company to work with you." ”

"Actually, I wanted to work with Twentieth Century Fox as well. Ronan thought of "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four": "After all, cooperation in film production can effectively reduce risks and concentrate superior resources. ”

James Murdoch added: "Actually, I studied film and television production, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to make movies. ”

Ronan said casually: "In the future, I can find an opportunity to transfer to Twentieth Century Fox to work." ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered one thing, one of Rupert Murdoch's sons was involved in scandals such as wiretapping in England, and was forced to resign from all positions, and then returned to the United States, and soon became the CEO of Twentieth Century Fox.

Judging from the fact that James Murdoch has come to the UK to prepare for his post, I am afraid that this person is James Murdoch.

After chatting a few words about movies, Ronan exchanged business cards with him and said, "James, you must contact me when you go to Los Angeles, so that I can do my best landlord friendship." ”

"Definitely. James Murdoch laughed and said, "We are peers and should be in touch with each other." ”

These two people have complex thoughts, the purpose of the relationship is not simple, everyone can see the value corresponding to each other, and they also have a heart to make friends with each other.

James Murdoch is very interested in the film industry, and believes that he will enter Hollywood in the future, and maybe there will be a chance to work with Ronan at that time.

Ronan has an eye on the future, the future head of Twentieth Century Fox......

After James Murdoch left, Robert Lee came up to Ronan and whispered, "I saw an old friend. ”

Ronan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Which old friend?" ”

Robert Lee quietly pointed, "Over there." ”

Through the crowd gathered in the banquet hall, Ronan saw a somewhat familiar figure, and despite the fact that the other party was dressed in a modest suit and had a very clean beard, he recognized it as an Arab at a glance.

The only people who can make Ronan feel familiar are old friends in Abu Dhabi.

Although he hadn't seen him for a few years, Ronan recognized it at a glance, it was Chief Mansour.

"I went over and said hi to him. Ronan whispered to Robert Lee, "Feel free to do so. ”

With that, he walked slowly towards Mansour, and when there was no one around him, he walked over quickly.

"Good evening, Mr. Minister. Ronan still used the name of the year: "I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

Mansour glanced at Ronan, first slightly confused, then recognized: "Good evening, Mr. Ronan Anderson." ”

After a few years apart, the two shook hands again.

Ronan exchanged a few polite words and asked, "When will Mr. Minister come to London?"

"It's been a while," Mansour said. ”

As this man appeared in front of him, a lot of past events came to mind, and Mansour felt a little complicated.

"I heard that your relativity entertainment is doing well?" Mansour didn't really care about the company since the failed acquisition.

After all, he is also the person who handles tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars every day.

"It's okay, the development is relatively smooth. Ronan's words are full of sincerity: "I have always wanted to say thank you to Mr. Minister, without the support of the Abu Dhabi consortium, there would be no relativity entertainment now." ”

Mansour was polite: "Actually, we are mutually beneficial. Abu Dhabi has also benefited a lot from your advice back then. ”

In recent years, the Abu Dhabi consortium has started from the aspects of culture and sports, with appropriate publicity, so that the name of Abu Dhabi has appeared in the Western society, although because of the relationship between 911, resulting in a lot of work done useless, but compared with Saudi Arabia and other conservative Arab countries, Abu Dhabi is obviously more popular in the West.

Ronan smiled and said, "It would be nice to be able to help Mr. Minister." ”

Both sides tacitly agreed not to talk about some unpleasant things, Mansour knew that he had no good way to deal with the current Ronan, and Ronan wanted to live peacefully with such a huge consortium without a conflict of interest.

In the final analysis, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two sides for the time being, and even if Abu Dhabi invested in Ronan's films, it was not very much in the eyes of Sheikh Mansour.

Remembering the interrupted plan and the dire international situation facing the Arabs, Mansour couldn't help but reiterate the old words: "Mr. Anderson, if your company is in financial difficulties, you can contact me at any time, we are all old friends, and you don't need to be polite." ”

Ronan said with a smile: "Abu Dhabi helped me in the most difficult time, I have financial needs, and the first thing that comes to mind must be the Abu Dhabi consortium." ”

Mansour seems to have an international level: "Cooperation brings win-win results, cooperation is also the theme of the international community today, and Abu Dhabi has always been a part of this civilized society." ”

Ronan said very seriously: "I have always believed in this. ”

If nothing else, the people of Abu Dhabi are at least doing things in accordance with international conventions, rather than just recklessly taking a wave when they suffer losses.

Over time, the West will become more receptive to Abu Dhabi's funding.

Ronan certainly won't easily work with Abu Dhabi people anymore, and based on the situation when the two sides fell out, the Abu Dhabi people want his company, not just invest in a certain film.

Relativity Entertainment has already passed the initial start-up stage, and there is no need to take that risk again.

Ronan and Chief Mansour have always been in a friendly, harmonious and harmonious atmosphere, and when they are separated, they also exchange the latest contact information.
