Chapter 61: French director

　　 In the conference room, Ronan chatted with Hassan and Hussein.
"This is a pleasant cooperation. Thank you for your trust and support to Shahai Entertainment." Of course, he will not let the two of them take the money for nothing. One person sent an invitation letter: "The film premiered in Abu Dhabi. This is also a film made by the two investors. There are two names and avatars on the subtitles of the film. I hope it will be an honor to invite them to participate."
　　 Hussein immediately accepted the invitation letter and asked, "Can I take my family?"
　　 Ronan nodded: "Of course."
　　 Hearing this, Hussein opened his eyes and smiled. It was too much face to let children and family members see their names and avatars in a Hollywood movie.
　　 Not only makes money, but also makes face. Such good things are too few.
　　 Hassan considered more comprehensively than Hussein, thinking of investing 300,000 US dollars, he could easily recover more than 500,000 US dollars in less than a year, and some of his ideas became stronger.
　　 This little money is really not a lot to him, but the rate of return is high.
　　 "Mr. Anderson." Hasan accepted the invitation letter and suddenly said, "I heard that Hollywood studios shoot a lot of films every year. Does Shahai Entertainment only have this "Human Removal Project" this year?"
　　 Ronan said calmly: "Of course not. Shahai Entertainment's goal is to become a big Hollywood company. The next step is to invest in two large-scale movie projects..."
　　 Before he could finish, Hassan rushed to ask: "Does your company continue to raise external financing for new projects?"
　　 "Yes." Hussein looked at Ronan expectantly, "Are you still raising money?"
　　The fact that money is average has proved that Shahai Entertainment has an excellent reputation, and Ronan Anderson on the opposite side is a capable and reliable young man.
Ronan nodded slowly, and said unhurriedly: "One project needs to cooperate with the Investment Bureau. Another project...well, I plan to raise funds. After the premiere of the "Human Removal Project", a financing meeting will be held. If you are interested, you can participate."
　　 Hassan thought a little, and said, "I will definitely participate."
　　 Hussein echoed: "I will also participate."
　　 "Welcome." Ronan said with a smile.
　　 Hassan asked again: "Mr. Anderson, take the liberty to ask, how much is the investment in this project?"
　　 The "Human Removal Project" was a huge success. If this project does not exceed the psychological bottom line, it can be eaten with Hussein.
　　 Hussein and Hassan are best friends, and they look at Ronan with concern.
　　 "The budget is about 15 million U.S. dollars." Ronan appeared calm, and his words were very real: "There may be additional investment in the later period."
Hassan rubbed his beard lightly. The $15 million fund is a bit too much. He and Hussein can get it out, but they have to consider the risk. After so many years of business, it is impossible to put all eggs in the same basket. inside.
　　 The two sides talked a few more words. Robert brought the Abu Dhabi media to the conference room at the right time and interviewed Hassan and Hussein.
　　As a businessman who is not a trench in Abu Dhabi, Hassan and Hussein are also willing to be interviewed.
　　 "This is a very successful investment." Hassan is fairly calm: "The American Sand Sea Entertainment has a good reputation. It has produced a good movie, and the profit generated by the movie proves this."
Hussein praised: "This is the investment with the highest rate of return since I started business. I was hesitant at the time, but Mr. Ronan-Anderson proved that the deal was very cost-effective. I regret that I was too conservative and invested. The money is too little. Fortunately, we still have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Ronan Anderson."
　　 After the interview, the two people asked about the time and location of the financing meeting and left the meeting room.
　　 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 discussed.
　　 "This is a good opportunity!" Hussein was a little excited: "I missed the last time. I can't miss this time again."
　　 Hassan frowned and thought, without speaking.
　　 Hussein added: "People were invited by the Investment Bureau and will continue to cooperate with the Investment Bureau. Our first investment has also received its due return. Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment are credible."
　　 "Ronan Anderson is trustworthy." Hassan didn't doubt this, and said slowly: "But have you ever thought that 15 million US dollars is too much pressure for us."
　　 Hussein patted his leg: "I don't know when the money is spent."
　　 Hassan’s cell phone rang suddenly, and another friend’s voice came after the connection: "Didn’t you settle the Hollywood investment? Really made money?"
　　 "I really made it, the money has already arrived, almost doubled."
　　 The voice in the microphone was a little surprised: "No? The reward is so generous? Is there any mistake."
　　 Hassan replied: "I asked you to invest together, and you said that the other party was unreliable. Now the money is in 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."
　　 hung up the phone, he looked at Hussein: "Without affecting the capital chain, we will get more money this time."
　　 Hussein nodded heavily: "Okay!"
　　…………
　　 Abu Dhabi International Airport, Mansour got off a private jet and specially invited a VIP from Paris, the capital of art, to his stretch sedan.
　　 "Mr. Minister." This is a man with a somewhat Arab appearance: "Have you read my script?"
　　 Mansour took the script next to him, held it in his hand and said, "Mr. Fontaine, the script is excellent. I also watched the two films you directed, which are very characteristic."
The other party directed two films, which were also screened in France. He had watched these two films and made a detailed investigation in Paris. This Fontaine director with UAE descent is rapidly rising in the French film circle. He has won two important awards at local small film festivals.
　　According to the survey data, this is a very promising director in Europe.
Fontaine is very satisfied with the attitude of the Arab tycoon, saying: "I have a quarter of the UAE blood. It has always been my wish to return to the Arab world to shoot movies. This script will become a reflection of Arab society in my hands. State-of-the-art artwork, showing Arab society and culture to the world."
　　His tone became a little excited: "8 million dollars. Mr. Minister, for only 8 million dollars, a film representing Arab artistic achievements can be born!"
　　 Mansour frowned insignificantly, and said: "Some plots are not very suitable, especially poverty, which is not suitable for Abu Dhabi."
"This is an artistic process based on reality." Fontaine seems to have been prepared for a long time, and his words are persuasive: "A great film must be critical and philosophical in order to ensure its artistry. I plan to bring it. Participating in one of the three major European film festivals with this work, as long as it can be shortlisted in the competition unit, this film will inevitably attract worldwide attention and the name of Abu Dhabi will spread all over the world."
　　 When I heard about the three major European film festivals, Mansour was a little moved. The three major film festivals have great influence. Through the three major film festivals, Abu Dhabi can further expand its popularity.
　　 Fontaine looked at Mansour, a little anxious, aren’t these Arabs very rich? Not willing to pay 8 million dollars? Didn’t it mean that the Hollywood company raised nearly ten million dollars from the Investment Bureau in the first half of the year?
As a person of partial UAE descent ~EbookFREE.me~ Fontaine knows an official of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. When the other party went to Paris for business last month, he entertained the official and the other party mentioned the movie in words Investment matters, which gave him a huge inspiration.
　　 He has directed two small productions, and has always wanted to raise funds for the filming department of really influential films, so as to enter the mainstream European film circle.
　　 But investment is too hard to find. In this regard, European directors are more difficult than Hollywood directors.
The words of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority officials reminded him of a wealthy oil tycoon. With the help of that official friend, he had a conversation with Mansour at a cultural exchange event in Saudi Arabia, and initially moved this person. The prince in power.
　　Mansour put down the script and said, "Mr. Fontaine, I also have a movie project from Hollywood. I will give you an answer after I think about it."
　　 This is very polite, but Fang Dan can't wait any longer.
　　On Mansour’s private jet, he heard people say that the Hollywood movie invested by the Investment Bureau will premiere in Abu Dhabi this afternoon.
　　 An official friend also quietly told him that Ronan Anderson, the producer of the film, has brought another new project and is ready to continue to cooperate with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
Looking back at Mansour’s words, Fontaine thought after thinking about it, and it is not difficult to draw a conclusion, just like Hollywood movies always threaten French films, that Hollywood producer seems to have formed a competition with him. Mansour thinks about it. Is it one of two?
　　Fang Dan’s heart is sinking. With those in Hollywood who don’t understand movies, Mansour may be less likely to cooperate with him.
　　 How many of the young Hollywood really understand film art? A true French director still has this basic knowledge.
