Chapter 148 Multi-party action

"Things are not going well?" The voice of Tom Cruise came from the phone: "Ronan, is there any other company that wants to recruit Allen?"

Ronan thought for a while and said to the phone: "Yes. DreamWorks people have also come to London..."

Since he needed Tom Cruise's help, he briefly explained the matter.

Tom Cruise immediately understood why Ronan called and said, "I can't help with this matter. I can't interfere with Allen's choice. This is disrespect for friends. I hope Ronan can understand."

Ronan was prepared and said, "Tom, you also know that the three giants of DreamWorks have become increasingly fierce in the past two years. Alan Albert joins DreamWorks and is very likely to become a victim of internal struggles in the company. The equity of Relativity Entertainment is in my hands. The company will not be so complicated and will be more conducive to the development of new people."

Of course, these words are all false. Ronan just temporarily held Tom Cruise and don't let him hang up the phone.

If Tom Cruise still refuses, there will be basically no chance.

"Although I have never worked directly with DreamWorks and Spielberg," Tom Cruise did not directly refuse: "But once this kind of thing spreads, it will affect my relationship with Spielberg, which is very unfavorable to me."

The hint was already quite obvious, and Ronan could certainly hear it and said, "Tom, make a few calls and persuade Mr. Albert from the side, no one else will know."

If you want such a superstar to help, you must pay the labor fee. Ronan had prepared before calling. When he met at the last party, Tom Cruise mentioned it specifically to him.

This is the labor fee prepared by Ronan.

However, when it comes to help pay, you must not say it directly when facing a very high-end Hollywood superstar. Isn’t that a fall into the right direction?

Ronan had already thought of the words: "By the way, Tom, besides Mr. Albert's business, I need your help."

Tom Cruise on the other side of the phone frowned. It seemed that he did not have such a deep friendship with Ronan Anderson, right? This man is so thick-skinned. He just helped to make a call, but it was not over.

If I had known it, I wouldn't have called that phone number.

"My company, Shahai Entertainment, is preparing for the sequel to "Human Purge Plan"..."

Originally, Tom Cruise was urged to hang up the phone. When he heard the name "Human Purge Plan", he immediately became interested. His ears stood up, capturing the voice on the other side of the phone: "I have a little difficulty in capital turnover now, with a budget of 6 million US dollars, and there is still a funding gap of 1 million US dollars."

Tom Cruise laughed: "A little problem." He turned his mind: "Is $1 million enough? I happened to have idle funds in my hand, about $3 million..."

Ronan changed his hand and held the phone. He has been in the industry for nearly 20 years and has a film company. Even though Tom Cruise was a semi-illiterate person, he has trained.

This is to ask for half of the investment in "Human Purge 2". Joint investment in the industry, half of the investment basically means sharing half of the returns.

Tom Cruise offered the price, and there was some discussion about this. Ronan tug-of-war with him and finally confirmed that Tom Cruise's company invested $1.5 million in the project "Human Purge 2".

The two finalized the investment, and the specific details will naturally be discussed by people in the company.

After finishing the call with Ronan, Tom Cruise was quite satisfied with the business. This small transaction involving only a few people will not spread as long as you pay a little attention. Even if it spreads, Spielberg and DreamWorks can't do anything to him.

Tom Cruise knew very well that Paramount Pictures was standing behind him!

He thought about it and called the church's senior management first, asked the church people to put pressure on Allen Albert. After waiting for a while, he personally called Allen Albert, and in the name of the church, he persuaded Allen Albert to choose Ronan Anderson's embassy film industry.

Even if DreamWorks and Spielberg find out in the future, this is still the cause of science teaching. Tom Cruise is just a poor person controlled by science teaching.

Alan Albert said that he would seriously consider Ronan's invitation.

In London, Ronan made an appointment with Danny Donald alone, and specially chose the London Chinatown where Danny Donald grew up.

In the private room of the teahouse, Ronan Shu practiced washing and making tea, which almost dropped Danny Donald opposite him.

Ronan poured good tea for Danny Donald and said, "Try it, it's the best..." At this point, he switched to Chinese: "Longjing, the Rain."

Danny Donald unconsciously raised his eyebrows, picked up the small teacup, savored it carefully, and then said, "Mr. Anderson can speak Chinese?"

Ronan smiled and said in Chinese: "You can speak some." His Mandarin is still standard: "When I was young, I traveled to the East and learned some in particular."

Although Danny Donald is a second-generation immigrant, he said it well in Chinese: "It is rare for Chinese to be so fluent here."

"Mainly I like the culture over there." Ronan said with a smile: "After five thousand years of civilization accumulation, nouveau riche like the United States cannot compare to."

Danny Donald showed a look of memories: "I went back several times when I was a teenager. I passed by there three years ago because of work, and went to see it specifically..."

Ronan has investigated Danny Donald in detail, so he naturally knows his background, otherwise he would not have chosen to meet in such a place.

Danny Donald suddenly asked, "Mr. Anderson loves Eastern culture very much?"

Ronan did not deliberately say that he liked it, and said with a smile: "I have studied cultures in many places. Arab culture, African culture, etc., these are all part of the world."

Danny Donald nodded slightly: "The culture of every nation belongs to the treasure of the world."

"Well." Ronan extended in a direction that was beneficial to himself: "Just like the film industry in this world, colorful movies constitute this wonderful world."

He continued: "In my opinion, movies around the world should be more interconnected. Take my relativity entertainment for example. Some of the funds for filming movies come from Arabs, some come from Germany, and some come from the United States. The use of actors is more diverse. Arabs, Africans, whites, Asians, and Latinos can all be the protagonists."

Danny Donald drank the tea from the cup and looked at Ronan. If all he said was true, he was undoubtedly a young man with a very left-leaning mind.

The company boss’s mind is more left-leaning, which is very easy to drive the overall atmosphere of the company.

Ronan once again filled Danny Donald with a cup of tea, but said in Chinese: "Have you seen the "Human Purge Plan" I made? And "Ace Agents" released this Thanksgiving? These two movies reflect the ideas I just mentioned."

Not to mention, after getting the information given by Ronan, Danny Donald found several signature movies under Relativity Entertainment and browsed them roughly. The main actors really have them of all ethnic groups.

"These two films are good," said Danny Donald. "I like "Ace Agents," especially."

Ronan drank the water from his cup and said, "The director of "Human Purge Plan" and also director of "Death is Coming", there is a Chinese name called Huang Yiyu. He is a generation of immigrants and has worked with me very happily. After directing these two films in a row, he will be preparing to work with me on "Human Purge Plan 2".

Although he is a person in the British film circle, Danny Donald also knows that James Huang is a Chinese.

A boss and company who is willing to reuse Chinese directors?

"Mr. Anderson, you're amazing." Danny Donald suddenly smiled and said, "Better than all the young people I've ever seen."

Ronan smiled: "I'm just explaining some facts."

All what he said is true and has no false elements.

I can only say that I am fortunate to know the future direction and know that the road to the left will become more and more spacious.

To truly open up the situation in Hollywood, one must be inclusive, at least show inclusiveness.

Ronan did not directly attack DreamWorks. It was not yet time to talk about tea art with Danny Donald, who likes to drink tea. Fortunately, he had contacted him in his previous life, and he didn't understand the skin now as a disguise. It wouldn't be embarrassing.

It’s probably because no one has talked about this for a long time. Danny Donald told Ronan a lot of knowledge about tea art.

Later, the two talked about football games, probably because they had a good impression of Ronan. Danny Donald revealed that he and Allen Albert would go to Manchester to watch football during the Christmas holiday and stay for about a week.

It was not until the sky was dark that the two of them came into contact with this interview and each left London Chinatown.

Ronan then contacted Chris, who had reported to Gustafson. Sony Columbia had considerable concerns about DreamWorks' possible overseas distribution channels. According to Chris' phone number, Gustafson was already contacting people from other companies.

Based on the information obtained, Ronan also made adjustments in time.

Danny Donald found Allen Albert, who just ended talks with Albert Hoffman.

Allen Albert said: "Danny, you should come together."

Danny Donald shook his head: "I don't like that person. Maybe you didn't notice it, but I could feel it clearly." He didn't bother with this and asked, "How is the conversation?"

“He offered the price on behalf of DreamWorks,” Allen Albert said. “I’m a $500,000 annual salary, you’re a $200,000 annual salary, and an annual bonus based on the performance of the movie.”

The salary is a little higher than they had before, but it is not absolutely attractive.

Danny Donald thought for a while and said, "I think we should listen to Ronan Anderson's quote. Allen, you have also read those information. Ronan Anderson's company is developing rapidly and with a consortium behind it, the future may not be as good as DreamWorks..."

Alan Albert thought of Tom Cruise's persuasion call he received before and nodded, "Okay, let's talk to Ronan Anderson again."

The two of them began to discuss in a low voice.
