"This is Mr. Ronan Anderson, the president of Shahai Film."
"This is my brother Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahayang, Deputy Director of the UAE Presidential Office and Minister of Affairs of the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau."
Under Saleh's introduction, Ronan shook hands with the boss of Abu Dhabi and exchanged greetings.
After recommending both sides, Saleh took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
There were only four people left in this magnificent conference room. Ronan sat alone, next to it was Abu Dhabi boss Mansour, and two entourages in their forties stood behind the boss.
Since Ronan saw Mansour, his head turned quickly. He felt that the other party’s name was familiar, and even more so after seeing the real person.
This man looked four or five years older than Saleh, and he must have seen that typical Arab face.
"Mr. Anderson." Mansour was very kind: "Welcome to Abu Dhabi."
Ronan responded with a smile: "Thank you. Thank you Abu Dhabi for giving me this opportunity."
A picture in my memory appears. Isn’t this man the Mansour Chief of the Premier League Manchester City Club in his previous life? At that time, he was already the former agent of the Abu Dhabi Consortium. It is said that the Abu Dhabi Consortium’s assets exceeded one trillion US dollars.
This is definitely a big shot.
Not to mention the past life, just the two titles in the present can be called a big shot.
Ronan has never dealt with a person of this level, and suddenly he feels a little nervous. He can climb to this level. Although the status of a royal child is very important, he must have good abilities. It is definitely not easy to open the other party’s wallet obediently.
Even if you don’t deal with it well, your previous efforts will be vain.
This is a crisis.
But Ronan did not show it, his face was calm and natural, wasn’t a crisis an opportunity?
If it was ten years later, the Arab funds would fully invade the Western world, and he would retreat after a few polite words, but now...
After coming to Abu Dhabi, he had frequent contact with people from the Investment Bureau and could detect the mentality of these people. After completing the accumulation of oil funds, Abu Dhabi not only pursues investment and makes money, but also wants to make a name all over the world and expand its influence.
Mansour once spent a huge amount of money on the Premier League, and is probably a representative figure in this regard.
If Mansulken invests, the funding problem will be solved.
Although I was worried, the opportunity was in front of me and I couldn't be easily let go.
Letting go may magnify the crisis countless times.
After a few polite words between the two sides, Mansour asked very directly: "Mr. Anderson, I heard you just messed up a movie?"
On the first day of the fundraising meeting, he went to the scene to see it and got a lot of information. He also specially commissioned the Investment Bureau headquarters in the United States to investigate the situation of Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment.
Although the investigation results have not been reported for the time being, Mr. Anderson's performance and information that are detailed in even the tax records seem to be very reassuring.
"Yes." Ronan knew that it was impossible to hide it, so the truth that he should tell would definitely be true: "I raised six million dollars to produce an action film called "The Jedi", but the box office in North America was only 800,000 dollars."
Mansour frowned slightly, and a fat man behind him interjected: "The first part failed, can you ensure success in the second part?"
Their money was exchanged for oil, not from strong winds.
Ronan observed very carefully. It was hard for Mansour to say such impolite words directly, so he simply asked his subordinates to ask.
"Many Hollywood directors and gold-medal producers, like Spielberg and George Lucas, did not succeed in their first films." Ronan was not afraid of mentioning the failed past. "James Cameron, as for the director of "Titanic", his first film "Pizzard" also ended in a disastrous defeat."
"James Cameron's first video also failed?" The fat man seemed to be unbelievable.
Ronan smiled: "This is not a secret in Hollywood." He said: "I am not as good as these amazing characters, but "The Jedi" was the first film I made. I was impulsive and radical at the time and made many mistakes. Failure made me fully recognize the mistakes and avoided making similar mistakes in the next project."
Mansour laughed and took the initiative to change the topic: "I heard from Saleh, have you encountered many difficulties with Jews?"
Ronan smiled again, with a bitter smile and said, "It's nothing, the non-Jewish forces in Hollywood, cough..."
He deliberately looked at the two people behind Mansour.
Mansour understood what he meant and said, "Don't worry, I promise with the reputation of Al Nahayan's family that our words will not be spread."
In fact, Ronan is not afraid of the legend. He can find a lot of reasons such as slander from Arabs. This is specially made for Mansour to show it, which attracted his attention.
"You should have heard that Hollywood has a very powerful Jewish power." Ronan turned his words to the Arab archenemy, "and there was even a tendency to control the entire Hollywood slightest."
To be honest, he was not good at both senses, and even Arabs were worse, but this was not the time to act emotionally.
I once read a Hollywood boss's words, which makes sense: Remember, don't be emotional, this is the entertainment industry, if you are serious, you will lose.
This can be used to both whom Hollywood movies speak for, or to personal feelings within the circle.
Mansour nodded: "Hollywood controlled by Jewish forces has been smearing the Arabs."
Anyone who pays a little attention to Hollywood movies can see it.
Ronan's words were still true: "There are many people in Hollywood who do not like Jewish forces, but they are all suppressed and excluded by Jewish forces."
Think about how miserable Mel Gibson, a first-line superstar and the best director of the Oscar, was later.
When talking about Jews, Mansour looked solemn, but he also knew that anti-Semitism in the United States had always been common.
The conflict between the Arab world and the Jews is extremely sharp, and most of the UAE army is used to defend against Israel.
"My father and I, as well as Sand Sea Entertainment, belong to Hollywood's non-Jewish forces." Ronan's words were not nonsense. The Anderson family had almost no contact with the Jews: "The Anderson family has no Jewish blood and has always kept a distance from the Jews. All the videos they have produced have never spoken good things for the Jews."
In addition to "The Jedi", Shahai Entertainment produces typical B-level movies of Mill. This kind of movie is simple, absurd, violent and bloody, and is never mixed with national emotions and other things that are easily disgusting to the audience.
Ronan began to slowly add to the truth that could stand the verification: "Shahai Entertainment has only obtained a total of US$2 million from the investment capital of the film industry that was deeply influenced by Jews, all of which are asset mortgage loans!"
Some resentment appeared on his face: "My father is very capable and cannot expand Shahai Entertainment due to his funds."
Old Anderson's conservatism, from Ronan's mouth, completely changed: "Many of the small companies founded at the same time as Shahai Entertainment have become medium-sized companies, but what about Shahai Entertainment? The funds and distribution channels are all limited. Ten years later, it will still be small companies, and they can only make videos and movies to maintain a life-threatening situation."
"Where is your father?" asked Mansour.
Ronan's eyes turned red: "Diet due to an accident."
Mansour hurriedly said, "Sorry."
"It's okay." Ronan continued to add: "My father told me a long time ago that he would do big sand and sea entertainment and make big movies."
He seemed to be a super filial son: "That's why I made "The Jedi" impulsively, and I also wanted to fulfill my father's wish."
Mansour comforted: "The future will surely succeed."
Ronan said sadly: "If Hollywood was not controlled by Jewish forces, Shahai Entertainment would definitely not be the current situation."
He once again told the truth: "I applied for funding for the 'Film and TV Industry Allowances and Health Plan' from the Hollywood Producers Alliance. Shahai Entertainment is a member of the Producers Alliance and pays a considerable membership fee every year. This plan was originally used to fund companies and producers who are in trouble within the league, but the producers alliance has the right to speak in the hands of large companies."
A small amount of admixture continued: "The top leaders of the large company are basically Jewish. Shahai Entertainment and I refused to move closer to the Jewish forces and were rejected."
Mansour nodded slowly, recalling the situation in the Middle East from Ronan's words, which was always the case with the Jews.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of unity against the enemy.
Ronan said again: "The bank refuses to make a loan and the funding cannot be passed. I can only raise funds to save myself. No matter how difficult the funding is, I will not sing praises to the Jews in the video."
"It's right." Mansour agreed: "If you bow your head to the Jews when you encounter difficulties, you will only be more arrogant and domineering."
Ronan judged at least nothing wrong with Mansour's words and attitude.
There is no way. If you want to win the favor of the Arabs, the simplest way is to make a fuss about the Jews.
