Chapter 805： Messi

Celebrities always like to show their best side to the public, which determines the need for packaging. There are many situations for packaging. Charity is one of the most common and effective ways.

On a very ordinary afternoon, a large number of entertainment reporters and social current affairs reporters began to gather in front of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Beverly Hills. The number soon exceeded a hundred. When the day was slightly dark, the reporters in front of the red carpet There are already more than 300 people with cameramen.

Tom Cruise, as the host of the charity dinner tonight and the inauguration ceremony of the Frozen Charity Foundation, was the first to walk into the hotel through the red carpet.

The personable Tom made the flashing lights turn on, and almost created a bright spotlight in the media area.

When Tom Cruise walked into the media area, he was even more surrounded.

Even many reporters asked very sharp questions, such as Nicole Kidman some time ago, who questioned his charity actions.

Even if Tom Cruise has paid a lot for the gradual freezing of people, there will never be a lack of media full of infinite maliciousness.

In the eyes of these media, no matter what you do or how many people you have helped, the original intention is wrong.

Faced with this kind of media, no one can convince them, the best way is to ignore it.

Ronan didn't go to the red carpet at all. When it got dark, he entered the hotel through the side door.

The founding ceremony of the Gravity Freeze Charity Foundation is very simple. According to Tom Cruise, all the funds raised by the foundation must be used to help Gravity Freeze.

Ronan donated US$2 million each in his own name and in the name of Relativity Entertainment.

"Thank you." Tom Cruise walked around the room, toasting with people from time to time: "Thank you for your support of charity."

Will Smith found Ronan and said, "Guess who I saw just now?"

Ronan asked curiously: "Who? Could it be that the leader of Scientology is here?"

Will Smith shrugged and said, "I saw Nicole Kidman and she donated $500,000."

"Sure enough." Ronan sighed lightly: "Tom may never escape the fate of being whipped."

Will Smith said: "Unless one day Nicole Kidman's career completely surpasses Tom."

Ronan said directly: "Do you think it is possible?"

Will Smith shook his head: "There was hope, but "A Fairy Wife" failed. Nicole Kidman did not escape the Oscar spell."

Someone came over at this moment, and Connie, who had been standing behind Ronan, reminded in a low voice: "Microsoft's Paul Allen is here."

Ronan looked forward and saw Paul Allen with his eyes. The latter had gray hair and a very beautiful woman next to him. Looking at the figure and the way of walking, he should be a female model or trained as a model.

"Good evening, Mr. Anderson." Paul Allen took the initiative to shake hands with Ronan.

Ronan responded politely: "Good evening. Nice to see you again."

The two had met once before. At Spielberg's party, Paul Allen was the majority shareholder of DreamWorks.

Paul Allen greeted Will Smith again and introduced: "This is my girlfriend Laura Haring."

Ronan smiled and nodded: "Good evening."

Although both major shareholders of Microsoft, the low-key private lives of Paul Allen and Bill Gates are completely different. Paul Allen is a playboy, and the speed of changing girlfriends is no less than Leonardo.

After Laura Haring responded politely, she said half-jokingly: "Strictly speaking, Mr. Anderson is my boss."

Ronan was surprised: "Are you working at Relativity Entertainment?"

Laura Haring said with a smile: "I participated in the filming of "Gossip Girl" and signed a long contract with Shahai Entertainment."

Ronan nodded slightly: "This show will be available on Netflix streaming soon, and I look forward to your performance."

"Thank you." Laura Haring said.

Paul Allen took the topic: "Mr. Anderson..."

"Ronan." Ronan emphasized: "Call me Ronan."

Paul Allen nodded slightly and said, "Ronan, Netflix will be in theaters next week. The shares you took out to raise funds are too few."

Ronan asked, "Alan, are you also interested in investing in Netflix?"

"I am very interested. I am optimistic about Netflix's future." Paul Allen did not hide it and was very direct: "I contacted Goldman Sachs late and it was difficult to obtain a satisfactory amount of equity. Ronan, it is better for us to do this transaction ?"

Ronan said: "Netflix is ​​about to go public, and private transactions are very sensitive."

Paul Allen obviously had some consideration: "When Netflix is ​​listed, no matter how much the market price, I will buy 10% of your shares at a price that exceeds the market price by 10%."

Ronan smiled and said, "Paul, thank you very much for your importance." He politely refused: "But the current situation is very delicate and I can't make any promises."

Paul Allen is a smart man and he understands Ronan. Although he is very interested in Netflix, he is not indispensable. After all, at his level, there are many channels for investment.

"If Netflix needs to continue financing, remember to notify me." Paul Allen said: "In three years, what I just said will be valid."

Ronan said: "If Netflix raises funds again, I will definitely notify you."

Two people, one is the current ten billionaire, and the other is the recognized future ten billionaire.

What they discussed, Will Smith and Laura Haring couldn't even intervene.

Paul Allen left and went to see Spielberg.

Will Smith saw Charlize Theron and said, "I'm going to find South African diamonds to relive the past."

Ronan turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Didn't Michael Eisner come?"

Connie asked a few words in a low voice through the headset, and said: "It shouldn't be here. His wife came on his behalf." She heard a few more words: "Michael Eisner went to New York a few days ago. come back."

Ronan was not surprised, this kind of thing could not be smooth sailing.

Afterwards, Ronan went to Tom Hanks and talked a few words about "Da Vinci's Code" in which Shahai Entertainment occupies 49% of the investment quota. The project has not been progressing fast.

"Post-production has already begun." Tom Hanks said seriously: "We encountered a lot of trouble during the shooting. Many religious groups protested, and some municipal organizations refused to provide venues, so it took a long time."

Ronan understood the sensitivity of the film's subject matter and said: "It is a victory to be able to finish shooting. It is not easy for you and Director Howard."

Tom Hanks smiled honestly: "If the post-production goes well, "The Da Vinci Code" can still catch up with this year's Christmas schedule. If you encounter difficulties, you can only wait for it to be released next year."

Both Tom Hanks' company and Relativity Entertainment have invested heavily in this project, so Ronan said: "Don't worry, you should leave Director Howard with plenty of post-production time."

Tom Hanks was not embarrassed, and said: "The time cost is under great pressure. Ronan, unlike you, I have a huge amount of capital. My investment comes from loans, and I have to pay more interest for every additional day."

Ronan smiled and said: "You can completely put Shahai Entertainment under more pressure."

Tom Hanks just smiled, with a simple smile, without losing innocence, just like Forrest Gump.

Ronan didn't have much to say, after all, according to the cooperation agreement of the two projects of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Mamma Mia", Shahai Entertainment took a big advantage.

However, the production speed of "Mamma Mia" is faster and will be released in a few months.

After Tom Hanks chatted for a few words, Connie came over suddenly.

Ronan knew this was an urgent matter, and said, "Tom, we will talk later."

Tom Hanks also saw Connie and said, "You're busy."

Seeing Ronan coming, Connie took two steps forward and whispered: “Manchester United’s official website just released the transfer announcement.” She said in detail: “Manchester United has officially reached an agreement with Barcelona, ​​Iniesta and Leo Messi. Officially transferred to Manchester United."

Ronan became interested in an instant: "Great! It's finally done!"

Connie whispered: "Because the cost is high enough, Iniesta’s transfer fee is 40 million euros, and Leo Messi’s transfer fee is also 35 million euros Ronan is not surprised, he can win These two people must satisfy Barcelona's appetite.

Connie added: "In addition, in order to impress Leo Messi's family, Manchester United also paid his father 8 million euros in bonuses."

Will Smith also leaned in at this time and said: "The whole European football thinks we are crazy and spends such a huge sum of money on a small player who has not proven himself."

Ronan smiled and said: "Our Manchester United is so crazy!"

Will Smith asked concerned: "Are you sure these two can adapt to the Premier League and Manchester United?"

Ronan shrugged slightly: "I'm not sure."

Will Smith was speechless for a moment. The two were not the candidates selected by the head coach Ferguson, but the transfer goals set by Ronan himself. Due to the success of last year's transfer, Ferguson didn't say anything.

Ronan really can't guarantee that Iniesta, fortunately, said that besides Barcelona, ​​he was also one of the core of the Spanish dynasty.

Almost all of Leo Messi's previous brilliance are in Barcelona, ​​and no one knows what it will be like to change his team.

But Ronan believes that players of the same level as Messi will achieve great results even if they switch to other teams and other leagues.

Maybe not as good as Barcelona, ​​but he will still be a great player.

Even if it is really unable to play, it will be conducive to Manchester United's future competition in the European arena.

Ronan chatted with Will Smith and asked: "Where is Charlize Theron?"

Will Smith said: "The little actor named Candice seems to have something to look for her, they went elsewhere."

Ronan asked, "Candice Swanepoel is here too?"
