Chapter 53 New Financing Plan

Everyone's emotions were mobilized, and the success of this film also means that the company is on track.

Ronan simply packed up, returned to the office, and processed several documents, including an email from Grey Enrique of Lionsgate Pictures, and told Shahai Entertainment that before the new weekend, the number of screening theaters of "Human Purge Plan" will increase to about 2,400.

Because the number of theaters is limited to the number of theaters on the weekend of paintings, Lionsgate Pictures and theaters all believe that this film still has market potential.

In addition, Lionsgate Film will further increase publicity costs and prepare to arrange the main cast members to participate in some media announcement meetings.

Ronan forwarded all of these to Robert for processing. The main creative staff such as James Huang, Robert Kneipp, Amanda Seyfried and Mohammed are still happy to show up in the media.

Luo Nan did not intend to follow up on the subsequent publicity matters himself. A person has limited time and energy. If he does everything himself, he will probably be exhausted and vomit blood soon.

For its own interests, Lionsgate will spare no effort to continue to promote this film to earn more revenue.

Ronan looked at the time and called Saleh.

As soon as the phone was connected, Saleh's voice sounded inside: "Hello, Ronan."

"Hello, Saleh." Ronan asked with a smile: "Are you comfortable staying in Abu Dhabi? When will you transfer back to Los Angeles?"

Saleh laughed very happily: "Very good, I'm very good now. Let me tell you the good news. I met the president yesterday and he said I did a great job in Los Angeles."

Ronan cooperated very well: "Are you going to be promoted again?"

"Well." Saleh sounded very happy: "I will be promoted to Deputy Minister of the Investment Bureau's Affairs Department as soon as next week. Thank you. The Investment Bureau invested in your film. The people from the Office in the United States have collected relevant reports and spread them to Abu Dhabi. Al Jazeera also has special reports. The president is very satisfied with the Investment Bureau's opening up in Hollywood."

Ronan seemed like an old friend: "It's good to help you. However, it also caused some controversy."

Saleh's laughter sounded again: "This is a normal reaction." He asked instead: "Ronan, I watched the movie you mailed it, it's really good, it looks much more exciting than the script."

That was a version specially edited for the Arab region. Ronan said with a smile: "Without the investment bureau's funds, we can't complete this video."

Saleh asked, “When will you come to Abu Dhabi again?”

Ronan thought for a while and said, "I will take the film to Abu Dhabi for its premiere next month."

"Okay!" Saleh immediately said, "I will treat you well at that time."

His voice suddenly lowered: "Let you see the prosperity of Abu Dhabi."

Ronan was not polite either: "We're determined!"

Saleh reminded again: "Brother Mansour wants to introduce this film as soon as possible. He has several representatives in Los Angeles. I guess he will come to you to discuss related matters soon."

Could it be that they came to check the accounts? Luo Nan raised his eyebrows slightly and pointed indirectly: "They are here to talk about introducing movies?"

Saleh casually said: "No. Brother Mansour wants to buy a big film company."

Ronan changed his hand and held the phone. While he felt a little relieved, he was a little alert and asked deliberately: "Is there a place I can help?"

Saleh obviously had no defense against him and said directly: "You don't have to pay attention to this matter. They have contacted six major Hollywood companies and talked with some medium-sized film companies, and no one is willing to sell them. Ronan, you are right. Hollywood has a powerful force that excludes us Arabs."

Ronan followed his words and said, "Yes, it's very obvious."

Comrade Saleh is definitely a qualified leader.

Hang up the phone and Ronan digested the latest information.

Mansour and Abu Dhabi Investment Agency actually want to acquire a large Hollywood film company?

Fortunately, this matter has not been completed, otherwise it would be difficult to find an investment in Abu Dhabi.

It can only be said that it is too difficult to attack the six major companies in this era. The six major companies have long become the most important things in the big groups. Most of the medium-sized film companies have also been acquired in recent years and have become the six major subsidiaries.

In fact, the mid-to-late 1990s was the period when the six major companies had the most powerful monopoly on Hollywood.

Lionsgate Pictures has just been established, and Tingfeng Entertainment is still hiding in Santa Monica's development. Relativity theory will take several years to appear...

Let’s look at the mid-sized companies that were once popular in the early 1990s. Orian and Carlock became subordinates of the six major ones. Miramax of the Weinstein brothers turned to Disney early, New Line Film and Castle Stone Film gave their knees to Warner Bros. Polykin joined Universal Pictures, and Samsung Pictures merged into Sony Columbia.

If the time is not right, it is difficult to buy a suitable film company with money.

Moreover, if the Arabs really want to buy six major companies, Washington may call for a stop.

Of course, if you spend money without restrictions, you can definitely buy a medium-sized film company, but Ronan has dealt with Abu Dhabi, and the people there are not crazy people.

Ronan gradually judged Mansour's intention from this news, which was obviously a preparation.

In fact, the other party won’t take this little money from investing in the “Human Purge Plan” too seriously. Perhaps the main goal is to acquire a large film company. If the acquisition fails, Shahai Entertainment is also an option.

Judging from the news leaked by Saleh inadvertently, the acquisition was severely frustrated.

In that case, Shahai Entertainment will still be the best choice for the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau.

"Human Purge Plan" has been released, and it is time to go to Abu Dhabi next month to find the "Arab brothers" to talk about the past.

After all, the investment in "The God of Death" has not yet been settled.

But there is a problem with this.

Ronan had considered the financing issue of "The God of Death" for a long time. It was not easy for this film to be related to Arabs. It was full of various tortures and killings, as well as high-quality existences like the God of Death...

You can't set the character killed by Death as an Arab, right?

James Huang and Glenn Morgan are not rigid people. The problem is that this is true. The reputation gained in Abu Dhabi will drop significantly, and financing may become a problem.

What should I do? Ronan has no idea considering it at noon.

In the afternoon, the representative of Mansur who Saleh mentioned came to Shahai Entertainment. Ronan temporarily put down his work and received the five people in the group, and talked with them about the introduction of the Human Purge Plan to the Arab region.

The atmosphere between the two sides was friendly and the talks went smoothly.

Ronan promised to hand over the release of the film in the Arab region to Mansur, but after Chief Mansur studied the release of the film, he determined that it was not a simple task, nor could his company have completed it in a short time, as long as the distribution rights of the film in the UAE.

Shahai Entertainment signed an agreement with Mansour’s representative on the same day, and a company under Mansour will obtain the exclusive copyright of the video in the UAE.

In terms of authorization fees, Ronan only received a symbolic dollar.

Except for a country in the UAE, the overseas copyright of the video is still in full. Now it is a big box office in North America, and it can be sold at a good price later.

By the way, the overseas copyright of "The Jedi" is still in hand. Can it be sold with it?

When many Hollywood film companies sell copyrights for popular movies, they will force one or even a few bad movies to sell in packages.

Packing? Ronan had an idea instantly, immediately returned to the office and wrote it down in his notebook.

Can we form a financing package for "The God of Death" and another project that Arabs like? Hollywood, after the economic crisis in 2008, often packaged external financing in this way.

This may be a solution.

The key is the projects that Arabs like.

What project should I choose? Ronan thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember the movie where the Arabs were the protagonists.

Do you want to make a magic change?

Instead of making a random decision, he thought about it carefully.
