Chapter 164: Indian sincerity

? "Mr. Anderson, as far as I know, Shahai Entertainment is just a small production company in Hollywood."
In the conference room of the Oberoi Hotel, Nick Rosshan looked at Ronan and the others and said: "You have been shooting video movies before, and it has only really developed in the last year."
Ronan smiled and nodded: "To be precise, Shahai Entertainment started filming "Human Removal Project" in 1998, and then really set foot in the movie production business of theaters. We have accumulated and thin hair. At present, we have produced three films. film."
He gestured, Sterling turned on the slide projector, and a piece of related data was projected on the white curtain hanging in the conference room.
Ronan turned on the laser pointer and pointed to the data report in it and said: "The "Human Elimination Project" has a global box office of 112.08 million U.S. dollars. Together with peripheral income such as family entertainment and other copyrights, the total revenue exceeds 200 million U.S. dollars.
A lot of this belongs to overseas income. Since the overseas copyright was originally sold out, the actual overseas income has little to do with Shahai Entertainment.
But this does not prevent Ronan from including it in the total revenue statistics of the film: "It is the great success of the "Human Removal Project" that allowed Shahai Entertainment to move from a video tape production company to a theater film production company.
Although Laksh-Roshan has a large amount of money, he still feels a little excited when he sees the figure of 200 million US dollars. He whispers to Nick-Roshan: "Is it true?"
Nick Rosshan whispered: "This kind of data is easy to check, and the other party shouldn't need to falsify it. I'll know it when I look back."
Laksh-Ross Khan calculated in his mind, how many Bollywood movies must be invested to generate such income?
Ronan continued: "The "Ace Agent" has just begun to be screened overseas. It was once lined up to watch in the Arab region. It has already won nearly 7 million U.S. dollars in box office. The global box office revenue is close to 20 million U.S. dollars, and the box office numbers are still steady. increase."
""Reaper is Coming" has caused a strong response worldwide. It is currently being screened. The global box office has reached 100 million U.S. dollars, and the total revenue is expected to exceed 200 million U.S. dollars in the future."
Such data is hard to lie. Nick Rosshan has been in Los Angeles for many years, knowing the general data is easy to verify.
"The three films recently produced by Shahai Entertainment have a total investment of less than 50 million U.S. dollars, and the minimum total income can reach 450 million U.S. dollars." Ronan turned off the laser pointer and said: "Data will not lie, data is also The best proof of Hai Entertainment's strength."
Laksh-Roshan had originally intended to invest in Hollywood, and said at this time: "You have three movies in two years, and your film projects are a bit small."
Ronan smiled and said: "Shahai Entertainment is taking the boutique route. We will carefully conduct market research on each film project, and select projects with real market potential. We can't know that a film will be produced. It may fail to invest in production, which is not responsible for investors!"
Nick Rothhan immediately asked: "Do you also finance and shoot these three films?"
"Yes." Ronan can say that all he can say can stand the test: "SandHai Entertainment raised funds in Abu Dhabi, including the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and many rich people who invested in these three films. They have already received Great returns."
Sterling changed a slide at this time, Ronan turned on the laser pointer and pointed at another data report.
Laksh-Roshan’s face remained unchanged, but his heart was a little overwhelmed. The Arabs’ return on investment in the "Human Clear Project" was close to 100%!
This is too scary!
"A huge profit!" he whispered to Nick Rothhan.
Nick Roshan nodded and took this to heart. They also have business dealings with the UAE. It is not difficult to verify.
"Mr. Anderson." Nick Rosshan asked: "Does your new project have such a high rate of return?"
Ronan knew that this was not someone in Abu Dhabi who did not understand the film industry. He said: "The two who have invested in Bollywood films must be very clear that no one can guarantee 100% success before a movie is released, and no one can truly I can't guarantee the success of the project "The Bourne" project to predict the income of the movie."
Laksh-Roshan and Nick-Roshan looked at each other, and the two had the same idea. Compared to DreamWorks, who had made big money, Ronan Anderson was at least very honest.
In several contacts with DreamWorks, the people at DreamWorks completely regarded them as laymen who didn't understand movies, but didn't want to think that the Mountain Fund was located in Mumbai and often invested in Bollywood.
This is one of the reasons why they have not reached an investment intention with DreamWorks.
Ronan didn’t seem to see the actions of Laksh-Roshan and Nick-Roshan, and continued:
Business investment is bound to be accompanied by risks, but Shahai Entertainment did sufficient preliminary work before choosing "The Bourne". The risk has been minimized."
Sterling changed the slides again, and Ronan looked at the curtain and said: "The Bourne is an adaptation of "Bourne's Identity" by Robert Ludren, the father of modern international thrillers. 24 of Robert Ludren's works have been translated into With 32 languages ​​and more than 200 million copies sold worldwide, "Bourne's Identity" dominated the nation's bestseller list for several consecutive months that year, with a broad audience base."
Laksh-Roshan knows this writer, and he has read "Archives" written by him.
Ronan added: "In this adaptation, we plan to shoot into Hollywood's most popular action agent movie, with a total budget of 50 million US dollars. We have invited Oscar winner Matt Damon to play the leading actor Jason Byrne. Directed by the rich British director Paul Greengrass..."
Following Ronan's words, Robert sent two scripts and a well-made sub-shot artwork to Laksh Roshan and Nick Roshan.
Then, more detailed information was given to the two by Robert.
Listening to Ronan, looking at the information in his hand, Laksh Roshan, who wanted to enter Hollywood, believed that this was a good opportunity.
Shahai Pictures is very sincere, a hundred times better than DreamWorks.
This is the attitude that the partner should have.
"Win-win, mutual benefit." Ronan finally said: "This is our consistent principle of cooperation."
Nick Roshan asked: "Didn't you cooperate with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority before? As far as I know, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is well-funded..."
Ronan smiled bitterly: "Don't be afraid to tell the truth, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is very ambitious. Cooperative films alone cannot satisfy their appetite. They want to acquire my company. I cannot accept this. I can only give up and continue with them. Cooperation."
From cooperating to wanting to become the owner of the company, under normal circumstances, no one can easily accept it. Nick Rosshan can understand Ronan's approach.
Just like someone suddenly jumped out and wanted to buy the Mountain Foundation, unless he paid a huge price, he and his uncle would not agree.
What they want is to invest in Hollywood movies, but they never thought about controlling Hollywood companies.
At this point, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties.
But Nick Rothkhan is still not at ease. During his years in Los Angeles, he heard some rumors about Hollywood.
"The Bourne Fly" is undoubtedly a good project. Matt Damon, who has won the Oscar statuette, is also a big star...
"Mr. Anderson." Nick Rosshan asked directly: "There are often problems in the Hollywood industry that the producers embezzle investment funds, and there are problems such as the inability to complete filming. Do you have safeguards in this regard?"
Ronan had already prepared and pointed to the information that Robert had just given to the two of them, and said: "There is a copy of the contract, which is a third-party completion guarantee signed by Shahai Entertainment and the firefighter fund insurance company of Allianz Group. Contract. Shahai Entertainment has insured the "The Bourne Shadows" project from the Fireman Fund Company. In the event of an unexpected situation in the filming, the Fireman Fund Insurance Company will mobilize personnel and funds to complete the film. If the film cannot be completed, the Fireman Fund Insurance Company A total of 60 million US dollars will be paid to investors."
Laksh-Roshan was somewhat moved: "The insurance company of Allianz Group?"
Nick Rothhan whispered: "The international giant in the insurance industry has an outstanding reputation."
Ronan saw that they opened the contract and said: "The Fireman Fund Insurance Company will set up a third-party protection account for the "The Bourne Shadow" project. All the funds invested by the investor will be stored in this account. There is no insurance. The company’s review determined that no one could get funds from it."
Nick Rosshan asked: "If the Mountain Fund invests, the funds will not go to Shahai Entertainment's account?"
"Yes." Ronan replied: "This money will be supervised by the insurance company."
The insurance company as a guarantee undoubtedly reassures Nick Ross Khan and Laksh Ross Khan a lot. Compared with ordinary commercial companies, creditworthiness is more important for insurance companies.
The two of them had read the insurance company's contract and began to discuss cooperation issues with Ronan more deeply.
During the first day of negotiations, the two parties established the most basic relationship of trust, and both parties did have great sincerity for this cooperation.
This is the basis for future cooperation.
Ronan’s performance here is very magnanimous~EbookFREE.me~ because he has never thought of making money on the other party’s investment. The cooperation with Abu Dhabi before, without a third party as a guarantee, naturally can come casually. Even the entire company's expenses are tied to the crew.
This project will definitely not work.
Therefore, the information Ronan provided to the Mountain Fund is all true and credible.
In addition to negotiations, Nick Roshan and Laksh Ros also launched a network to verify all the information, and even specifically asked someone to go to Allianz Group and the Fireman Fund Insurance Company to verify the third-party guarantee contract.
A few days later, they gathered all the verified news.
"It's not wrong." Nick Roshan said to Laksh Roshan: "The data and contracts provided by the other party are all true and credible."
Laksh-Roshan said: "Ronan Anderson has shown his sincerity in cooperation, and we have also expressed sincerity." He quickly made a decision: "At the dinner that day, I saw Ronan Anderson and Piyaka Chopra. Good chat."
