Chapter 61 The French Director

In the conference room, Ronan had a hot chat with Hassan and Hussein.

"This is a pleasant cooperation. Thank you for your trust and support in Shahai Entertainment." Of course, he would not let the two of you get money for nothing, and each of them gave an invitation letter: "The premiere of the film in Abu Dhabi is also a movie that the two invested in. There are also names and avatars on the subtitles of the film. I hope there is the honor of inviting the two to participate."

Hussein immediately took the invitation letter and asked, "Can you take your family?"

Ronan nodded: "Of course."

Hearing this, Hussein smiled and could let his children and family see the name and avatar in a Hollywood movie. This was too much face.

There are too few good things like this that make money and face.

But Hassan considered it more comprehensively than Hussein. When he thought about investing $300,000, he easily recovered more than $500,000 in less than a year, some of his thoughts became stronger and stronger.

This amount of money is indeed not much for him, but the rate of return is so high that it makes people feel itchy.

"Mr. Anderson." Hassan accepted the invitation and suddenly said: "I heard that Hollywood film companies have to shoot a lot of films every year. Is this only the "Human Purge Plan" this year?"

Ronan said calmly: "Of course not. Shahai Entertainment's goal is to become a big company in Hollywood, and the next step is to invest in shooting two large-scale movie projects..."

Before he could finish his words, Hassan rushed to ask: "Can your company's new projects continue to raise external financing?"

"Yes." Hussein looked at Ronan expectantly, "Are you still raising funds from outside?"

The fact that money is average has proved that Shahai Entertainment has excellent reputation, and Ronan Anderson opposite is a capable and reliable young man.

Ronan nodded slowly and said slowly: "One project needs to cooperate with the Investment Bureau. Another project... Well, I plan to raise funds. After the "Human Clearance Plan" premieres, a financing meeting will be held. If you are interested, you can participate."

Hassan thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely participate."

Hussein echoed: "I will participate, too."

"Welcome to you." Luo Nan said with a smile.

Hassan asked again: "Mr. Anderson, ask, how much is the investment in this project?"

The Human Purge Plan has achieved great success. If this project does not exceed the psychological bottom line, it can be eaten with Hussein.

Hussein and Hassan are close friends and look at Ronan with concern.

"The budget is about $15 million." Ronan seemed very calm and said something very realistic: "It is possible that additional investment will be needed in the later stage."

Hassan gently rubbed his beard. The $15 million fund was a bit too much. He and Hussein could take it out, but they also had to consider the risks appropriately. After so many years of business, it was impossible to put all the eggs in the same basket.

The two sides chatted a few more times, and Robert brought Abu Dhabi media to the conference room at the right time, and happened to interview Hassan and Hussein.

As businessmen who are not rich in Abu Dhabi, Hassan and Hussein are also happy to be interviewed.

"This is a very successful investment." Hassan was quite calm: "The United States' Sand Sea Entertainment has a great reputation. It has made a good movie, and the profits generated by the movie also prove this."

Hussein praised: "This is the highest return investment since I started business. I was hesitant at the time, but Mr. Ronan Anderson proved that the deal was very cost-effective. I regretted it was too conservative and invested too little money. Fortunately, we still have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Ronan Anderson."

After the interview, the two men asked about the time and location of the financing meeting and left the conference room.

When they went down to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, Hassan and Hussein did not leave immediately. Instead, they found a quiet place in the lobby and started discussing.

"This is a good opportunity!" Hussein was a little excited: "I missed the last time, and I can't miss this time again."

Hassan frowned and thought, not speaking.

Hussein also said: "The people were invited by the Investment Bureau and will continue to cooperate with the Investment Bureau. Our first investment also received the rewards as it deserves. Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment are credible."

"Ronan Anderson is trustworthy," Hassan said slowly without doubting this, "But have you ever thought that $15 million is too stressful for us."

Hussein slapped his legs: "I don't know if the money is enough until I use it."

Hassan's cell phone suddenly rang, and after the call was connected, another friend's voice came: "Didn't you go to settle that Hollywood investment? Have you really made money?"

"I really made money, and the money has arrived, almost doubled."

The voice in the microphone was a little surprised: "No way? The reward is so generous? Are you wrong?"

Hassan replied: "When you asked you to invest together, you said the other party was unreliable. Now the money has come to my account."

"Ah... Hassan." The voice on the other side of the phone was a little flattering: "Can you introduce me to that young Hollywood tycoon?"

Hassan thought about it for a moment and replied: "No problem."

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Hussein: "If it does not affect the capital chain, we will get more money this time."

Hussein nodded heavily: "Okay!"

…………

At Abu Dhabi International Airport, Mansour got off the private plane and specially invited a VIP from Paris, the capital of art, to his extended car.

"Mr. Minister." This is a man with a bit of Arab appearance: "Have you read my script?"

Mansour took the script next to him and held it in his hand and said, "Mr. Fontane, the script is very outstanding. I have also watched two movies directed by you, which are very distinctive."

The other party directed two movies and was also released in France. He has watched these two movies and asked someone to conduct a detailed investigation in Paris. This director of Fontane, who has UAE descent, is rising rapidly in the French film industry and has won important awards from two local small film festivals.

According to the data obtained from the survey, this is a promising director in Europe.

Fontane was very satisfied with the attitude of the Arab boss and said: "I have one-quarter of the UAE bloodline. It has always been my wish to return to the Arab world to shoot movies. This script will be transformed into an artwork that reflects the situation of Arab society in my hands, showing the Arab society and culture to the world."

His tone became a little excited: "$8 million. Mr. Minister, for only $8 million, a movie representing the achievements of Arab arts can be born!"

Mansour frowned slightly and said, "Some plots are not very suitable, especially poverty, and are not suitable for Abu Dhabi."

"This is an artistic processing based on reality." Fontaine seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and his words were convincing: "Great film works must be critical and philosophical in order to ensure its artistic nature. I plan to take this work to participate in one of the three major European film festivals. As long as I can be shortlisted for the competition unit, this film will inevitably attract the attention of the whole world, and the name of Abu Dhabi will be spread all over the world."

Mansour was moved by hearing the three major European film festivals. The three major film festivals have a huge influence. Through the three major film festivals, Abu Dhabi can further expand its popularity.

Fontaine looked at Mansour and was a little anxious. Aren’t these Arabs very rich? They are unwilling to pay $8 million? Didn’t that say that the Hollywood company raised nearly $10 million from the Investment Bureau in the first half of the year?

As a person of some UAE descent, Fontaine knew an official from the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau. Last month, he hosted the official when he went to Paris to work in business. The man mentioned the matter about film investment in language, which gave him great inspiration.

He has directed two small productions and has always wanted to raise funds for filming that are truly influential, thus entering the mainstream European film circle.

But it is too difficult to find investment, and European directors are more difficult than Hollywood directors in this regard.

The words of an official from the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau reminded him of the wealthy oil rich man. With the help of that official friend, he spoke with Mansour at a cultural exchange event in Saudi Arabia and initially impressed the prince who was in power.

Mansour put down the script and said, "Mr. Fontane, I have another movie project from Hollywood. I will give you a reply after I think about it."

This was very polite, but Fang Dan was a little embarrassed.

On Mansour's private plane, he heard that the Hollywood movie invested by the Investment Bureau will premiere in Abu Dhabi this afternoon.

Official friends also quietly told him that the film's producer Ronan Anderson brought another new project and was preparing to continue working with the Abu Dhabi Investment Agency.

Recalling Mansour's words, Fontaine thought about it before and after thinking about it, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion. Just as Hollywood movies always threaten French movies, that bastard Hollywood producer seems to compete with him. What does Mansour mean to choose one of two in a comprehensive way?

Fang Dan's heart is sinking, and with the group of Hollywood bastards who don't understand movies, Mansour may be much smaller in his collaboration with him.
