Chapter 67
After confirming that Fontaine was going to rush to grab money, Ronan no longer had any mercy.
"Director Fontane, don't you feel ashamed of saying that you are an Arab brother and a member of the Arabs?" He angrily rebuked: "The suffering and sadness of the compatriots are sold out to satisfy the Western world's desire to judge Arabs. Are there any Arab brothers like you?"
Saleh stared at Fontane, his eyes full of anger. This man's mind was too despicable!
Mansour looked at Fang Dan with a very bad look.
"You're talking nonsense!" Fang Dan refuted.
However, Ronan did not bother with him at all, and said to himself: "It is your responsibility to ugliness our compatriots and let the West regard our compatriots as inferior nations. You are a group of people who should be eliminated if you are unforgivable!"
He turned to Mansour and said, "Mr. Minister, as long as there are such inner demons who are still destroying the image of Arabs, it will be difficult for the whole world to have a correct understanding of Arabs."
Mansour nodded slightly to Ronan first, then looked at Fang Dan, and his eyes instantly became sharp.
If this movie "Arab Life" really appears at the three major film festivals, will it cause harm to Abu Dhabi's image? Will it cause harm to your future and career?
Fang Dan decided: "Mr. Minister, this is a slander! This is..."
"Enough, don't say anything more!" Mansour interrupted Fang Dan directly and asked Saleh next to him, "What do you think."
Saleh immediately approached and said in a voice that the two could hear: "Mr. Anderson's words make a lot of sense. When I was in Los Angeles, I also heard people mention that some people filmed films that slandered their compatriots to please Westerners. Mr. Anderson's friendship with us has been tested by time and a film project, and is trustworthy. This Frenchman...has the possibility of bad intentions."
He thought for a moment and said, "I think this Frenchman is ill-intentioned and is not worth taking such a risk at the critical moment when his brother is about to be promoted."
Of course, Mansour has his own judgment. Ronan Anderson's words may not be correct, but there are some truths.
Ronan felt someone pulling him, and turned to look, and Robert quietly raised his thumb.
Just like the first time investing in Shahai Entertainment, Mansour was not an indecisive person. He immediately made a decision and said to the thin man behind him: "You go book a plane ticket and send Mr. Fontaine away as quickly as possible."
Fontaine looked at Mansour in shock: "Mr. Minister..."
Mansour raised his hand and stopped him from talking again: "That's it!"
The thin man immediately went over and asked Fang Dan to leave the conference room. When he left the conference room door, the two bodyguards followed and wanted to accompany Fang Dan to take his luggage to the airport.
In the conference room, Mansour's face looked much better.
"Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Anderson." He squeezed out a smile: "Otherwise I'm going to make a mistake."
Ronan said modestly: "I just did what I should have done."
One party to the meeting has been invited away. Mansour did not intend to continue and said directly: "I will urge the Investment Bureau to speed up the approval of the investment bureau. The funds have increased by 20 million US dollars. Even if it is me, some procedures must be taken."
Ronan was very patient: "Don't worry."
Mansour left the conference room first, Saleh walked over and said to Ronan: "I was really worried just now."
Ronan smiled: "That person has bad intentions. As long as he studies and understands the mechanism for external awards of Western movies, it will not be difficult to find out."
Saleh sighed: "Fortunately there is a professional like you."
Ronan invited, "I'll invite you at noon?"
Saleh shook his head: "I can't go, I can't push it away if there is social engagement."
After saying a few words, he quickly left the conference room, and Ronan and Robert returned directly to the Chiefs Hotel.
"It's a danger this time." Robert breathed a sigh of relief.
Ronan nodded: "I'm going to change my target next time."
"Well, you won't wait for the character to collapse before changing." Robert sighed: "Luckily, you deal with it in time."
Without Ronan's accurate and fatal counterattack, it is hard to say that Shahai Entertainment could continue to cooperate with the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau.
Ronan received a glass of water and said before drinking it: "Our follow-up plan will be much smoother if we can get the $25 million investment."
Robert planted a flag: "I hope nothing unexpected happens."
Fortunately, the flag was not working, and the subsequent progress went smoothly. After only one day, the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau approved the investment plan for "Ace Agents". The next day, it officially signed a contract with Ronan, who represented Shahai Entertainment, and the investment of US$25 million was in place on the same day.
In some ways, Abu Dhabi’s credit is pretty good today.
People with credit must cooperate with people with high credibility, so Ronan feels it is normal to reach a cooperation.
At this point, during this trip to Abu Dhabi, "The God of Death is Coming" raised US$15 million in private funds in Abu Dhabi, and US$25 million in Ace Agents was invested by the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau.
With a huge investment of 40 million US dollars in hand, I feel like I have the world.
The trip to Abu Dhabi ended here, and Ronan bid farewell to a group of "Arab brothers" and prepared to leave the UAE.
"This money comes too quickly."
In the VIP room at the airport, George Clint, who came to Abu Dhabi for the first time, had not calmed down his excitement and made random suggestions: "How about we film casually in the future and then look for investment in the world?"
Mary glanced at him: "You're thinking too much."
Robert laughed and said, "I thought so when I came last time."
"You can find investment, but you can't shoot movies at will." Ronan said at this time: "Successful movies are the basis for us to raise funds. If we don't have the success of the previous "Human Investment Plan", can we raise investment smoothly this time?"
George sighed and nodded, "Ronan, you are the most sober."
Ronan said again: "It is the basis for growing a company. If there is no company with a sufficient scale as support, we may become the lowest-level liar."
"Yes! Yes!" Robert echoed: "We call La Investment now. If there are no real companies or projects, that's a liar."
Ronan changed the topic and explained his work: "Mary, you go back to deal with the funds and accounts issues, "The God of Death is Coming" has a budget of $20 million, "Ace Agent" has a budget of $10 million, and the remaining $10 million, except for the reward share of the four of us, I will find a way to turn the rest into the legal income of Sand Sea Entertainment."
He looked at the other two: "George, Robert, when you go back, you immediately start setting up the "Ace Agent" crew, prepare the corresponding materials, I will keep in touch with you, and you should help me pass on whatever you need to do to Berlin as soon as possible. James Huang has prepared the materials for "The God of Death" almost all, you can go and find him."
Then, Ronan solemnly said: "The most critical task is to get into the preliminary contact with the Embassy Film Company, especially the major shareholders."
"Okay." The two of them responded.
Ronan finally said: "If everything goes well in Germany, I will be able to return to Los Angeles after the New Year and communicate in time if I have something to do."
Leaving Abu Dhabi, Mary, George and Robert returned directly to Los Angeles, while Ronan flew directly to Berlin, Germany.
This time I went to Berlin, on the one hand, I had an appointment with Mrs. Anderson's relative Helen Koch, and on the other hand, I also made the two projects of "The God of Death" and "Ace Agent".
When he arrived in Berlin, Ronan did not go directly to the Aunt Helen. Instead, he went to a law firm that often cooperated with Hollywood to find a lawyer named Mueller who specializes in handling related businesses and consulted on specific laws and regulations.
Although he has studied many cases in Los Angeles, he still needs the assistance of professionals when implementing them in detail.
This law firm itself acts like a middle-aged agent, and Ronan needs their help to contact a German film company.
