Chapter 7： Play big

Ask for a recommendation ticket! Seeking collection!

In the lounge, Saleh showed his identity. Ronan and the others had already performed a preview. They were a little surprised at first, and then surprised.

Everything is natural.

Saleh asked directly: "Ronan, did you consider looking for investment in the Arab world in the past?"

Ronan was not hypocritical, and asked with surprise: "You represent the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority?" He looked at Saleh: "Do you want to invest in my film?"

Saleh shook his head quickly: "No, no, the amount is too high, I don't have such a big power. But I can recommend you to Abu Dhabi, in the name of the Investment Authority."

"Really?" Ronan nodded when he saw Saleh, and said, "It's great that you are willing to help. It solved my biggest problem."

Saleh said with a smile: "You are welcome, your movie is speaking for Arabs."

"Thank you." Ronan is very sincere.

Saleh waved his hand: "I can only recommend, whether I can impress people in Abu Dhabi to invest, I don't guarantee. Ronan, you better have a plan."

Ronan quickly stood up and looked for it, took out a plan from his briefcase and handed it to Saleh: "This is my plan for the trip to Germany."

Saleh heard Ronan mentioned before that he was planning to go to Germany to look for investment. He took the document and opened it. Although he didn't really understand it, he could see that it was a very complete plan.

It is obvious that Ronan has done a lot of feasible work for this project.

This young man seems to be really reliable.

Ronan said at this time: "My father has worked with Germans before, so I am going to borrow my previous connections to organize a film investment fundraising meeting in Germany."

Whether it is this plan or everything before it, Saleh can feel Ronan's effort in this project.

Compared with those brothers in Abu Dhabi who are eating and waiting to die, Ronan Anderson is really a man with a career.

"How about this plan?" Ronan asked.

Saleh returned the plan and said vaguely: "It's okay."

Ronan asked again: "Is it feasible to move to Abu Dhabi?"

Saleh thought for a while, and said: "It should be no problem. The Investment Bureau can assist you. However, some details about diet and other aspects need to be changed."

"Don't worry." Ronan nodded and said, "We will respect the customs of the Arab brothers."

If I can get investment, I can go there and change my fast.

Saleh confessed something more and left the hotel soon.

The press conference ended. After returning to the company, Ronan once again held a brief meeting to mobilize the whole company.

Mary will assist Saleh to go through the formalities from tomorrow. George stares at the media and Robert prepares all the necessary materials.

Although I have heard that the oil tycoons don’t take money seriously, and use Saleh, a young son of the royal family, to lead the way, Ronan didn’t care about it at all. If he wants people to spend money and invest, he must do his best. Until dripping water leaks.

What he prepared is indeed a scam, but the movie project is real.

All the preliminary work is extremely real.

The company’s various certificates, tax payment records, films taken in the past, certificates of members of the producer alliance, relevant reports that have appeared in the media, etc., Luo Nan has made corresponding preparations.

The next day, when the media reports came out, he bought some newspapers and periodicals with relevant reports.

Although the Los Angeles Times has only a fist-sized report, the name of one of the three major newspapers in the United States is still very bluffing.

Even if the scale of the report is not big, it has some effect. The most intuitive thing is that more than a dozen agents have delivered director and actor resumes to Shahai Entertainment.

Some people called and asked about the recruitment of behind-the-scenes positions.

Ronan certainly won't hire directors and behind-the-scenes team now, everything has to wait after the trip to Abu Dhabi is over.

When it comes to investment, the "Human Removal Plan" can be operated as planned; if it fails to attract investment, you must consider going to Asan or other methods.

For more than a week, Ronan kept in touch with Saleh. Saleh visited Shahai Entertainment several times. He saw dozens of video films in the library and believed that this was a small but large A production company with a certain background, he obtained Ronan's consent to send back to Abu Dhabi a large number of materials including the data of Shahai Entertainment and the script of the "Human Removal Project".

Somewhat beyond Ronan’s expectations, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority attaches great importance to it. Not only does it send a formal invitation letter, but it is also responsible for the air ticket, board and lodging expenses of Shahai Entertainment to Abu Dhab.

This makes Ronan more than happy, playing drums a little bit, will he play too much?

But thinking of the money in the hands of the Arabs, this worry disappeared immediately.

Besides, this is not cheating money at all, he will really complete the "Human Removal Project" project.

During this time, apart from preparing projects, Ronan was also not idle, learning more about the social and economic conditions, especially combining the memories in his mind, looking for some ways to assist in starting a business.

It is very important for Shahai Entertainment to turn losses into profits using movie projects.

There is a profitable company, which means that it is possible to enter the fund industry.

Borrowing chicken to lay eggs is the norm in the film industry, and the film fund seems to have some operability.

In this regard, he needs to further investigate and learn relevant knowledge.

As for the importance of Abu Dhabi, Ronan can guess a little bit. In their eyes, the expenses of Shahai Entertainment are nothing at all. Now Abu Dhabi lacks reputation and influence, but does not lack money.

How much did Abu Dhabi spend in the previous life to expand its influence? The cost of spending in the Premier League alone is astronomical.

Hollywood has a worldwide influence, but the Arabs in Hollywood movies are basically badass.

The Arabs probably want to change this.

Ronan was more confident after receiving the invitation from Abu Dhabi.

In previous lives, scammers were able to get money from Hollywood connoisseurs with a mouth and fake projects. A real project like the "Human Removal Project" has never understood the possibility of getting money from Hollywood Arabs. .

More importantly, after attending the press conference, the comrades of the Leading Party were very active. Saleh had already called him and said that he would accompany Ronan to Abu Dhabi and assist him in preparing for the film investment promotion meeting.

"I just graduated and I have too little work experience." Saleh said: "This can increase my practical experience."

There is a local snake to help, Ronan of course will not refuse.

The situation is very good. He did not relax. He specifically asked a lawyer familiar with the Emirate of Abu Dhabi to make appropriate changes to the investment contract template.

In addition, he prepared multiple plans.

The worst result is nothing more than failing to attract investment and returning without success.

Before departure, the materials prepared alone were filled with dozens of large boxes.

Anyone who reads it will think that Ronan, the small team, is the real person doing things.

Of course, the money was also spent like flowing water, and Shahai Entertainment’s account was less than 60,000 US dollars.

Ronan only took Mary and Robert Lee to Abu Dhabi, and deliberately left George Clint in Los Angeles, allowing him to operate at the same time with money and contacts, so that the "Human Removal Project" could show a face in the media from time to time. .

In mid-February, accompanied by Comrade Saleh of the Leading Party, Ronan Anderson, a good friend of the UAE people, took an Emirates flight and arrived in Abu Dhabi.

Abu Dhabi Investment Authority gave a warm welcome to this friendly Hollywood company.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi are the most famous cities in the UAE. Abu Dhabi in this era is already very beautiful.

"This is an Arab country?"

Sitting in the car, Mary was full of questions: "Is there such an advanced city in Arabia?"

Ronan just whispered, "They are very rich."

It's not only that Abu Dhabi doesn't know Hollywood, but Americans don't know Abu Dhabi either.

The image of Arabs in Hollywood movies may be driven by Jewish forces behind it, but it is also a common perception among Americans.

The group of people stayed in the super five-star Emirates Hotel with the highest specifications in the local area. There were also media reporters taking pictures at the entrance of UU Reading .

After the time difference, before Ronan went to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, a senior official of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority came to him accompanied by Saleh and discussed the next itinerary with him.

So, with the help of Saleh and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment's names frequently appeared in the media here, and there was someone to assist Ronan in preparing for film investment and fundraising meetings.

Accompanying people from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority to participate in several activities. After receiving two interviews, Ronan gradually recalled. To a certain extent, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is also using him.

Pulling a Hollywood team, no matter whether the investment is successful or not, it is a great achievement.

The Arab high-level struggle for power is equally fierce.

Shahai Entertainment and Film Investment Fundraising Meeting soon became famous in Abu Dhabi.

According to Saleh, the president of the UAE and the leader of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi privately asked about Hollywood investment.

seems to be playing a bit.

But now, Ronan can't retreat, because the investment has not yet arrived.

The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority assisted him in preparing for fundraising meetings and publicity, but never talked to him about investing in the "Human Removal Project".

Ronan is not in a hurry, the hunter must be patient.

And compared to the behemoth of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, he is more willing to fool those small and medium investors at fundraising meetings.

, the subsequent troubles are smaller.

If the Investment Bureau throws a few million dollars, he will not refuse.

On February 25, 1998, a three-day film investment promotion conference kicked off at the Sheikh Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
