The Best Entertainment Era

In this matter, Ronan didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: No need. I don't have that much ambition, and I don't have that much ability. Relativity Entertainment is just a small company, and it is enough to make a little money in the cracks of a big company. .”

Ronan's talent for telling nonsense with open eyes has already been maxed out.

Aziz and Semir glanced at each other, each seeing surprise on the other's face.

Ronan, don't rush to refuse. Aziz said quickly: We have always had a good cooperation, and this is also to make our cooperation closer...

If the Investment Bureau wants to continue to invest in films, my company and I are very welcome. Ronan will not compromise on this key issue: I welcome all Arab friends, including the Investment Bureau, to cooperate with me in investing in film production .”

He gradually became serious: But my company not only represents myself, but also my father's life's painstaking effort, and I will not transfer the equity.

The conditions proposed by the other party looked very attractive. The equity transfer fee of 100 million US dollars and the capital injection of 300 million US dollars were indeed very attractive, but it was absolutely impossible for Ronan to agree, especially if the next few years were tied to it.

It is conceivable that once the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority completes the acquisition, what kind of movie will it shoot? Ten movies like Kingsman in a year? Relativity entertainment will soon be over.

Aziz didn't expect Ronan's attitude to be so resolute, so he hurriedly said: Ronan, Mr. Minister has always valued you very much, and also cherished the friendship with you...

Ronan's attitude was very clear, and he didn't want to keep pestering him, so he stood up and said, Sorry, I still have an appointment later, let's stop here today.

There's no point in talking any further.

Mr. Anderson! Samir couldn't help standing up and said, Think again!

Ronan smiled and said, It's a great honor for Mr. Minister to value Relativity Entertainment. I also attach great importance to the friendship with the Investment Bureau and Mr. Minister, but our personal relationship should not be involved in such a major business event. I hope We can continue to work together in the future.”

Aziz looked at Saleh. The Investment Bureau knew that Ronan and Saleh were friends.

Saleh sat there, but he never wanted to speak.

Ronan was about to leave, but Aziz said, Think about it again, let's discuss the transaction price.

No need. Ronan's attitude was very firm: Please convey my greetings to Mr. Minister.

Seeing that Samir was about to speak again, Ronan strode out of the reception room without giving him a chance.

Your Highness... Aziz looked at Saleh expectantly.

Saleh stood up: I'm going to talk to Ronan, don't get too hopeful.

After speaking, Saleh also left the reception room.

Samir frowned: How could this be?

Aziz paced back and forth with his head down, and said, Why is this? Didn't Ronan Anderson always say that he is a good friend of Abu Dhabi? Why do you refuse the kindness of a friend?

Samir raised a more critical question: How do we explain to the minister?

The situation is too different from what was expected.

The investment bureau is very optimistic about the acquisition of Ronan Anderson. They have also conducted professional investigations. There are too many companies in the United States that are seriously short of funds at the initial stage. In order to attract funds, the owners of the companies want to sell themselves .

As a friend, the Investment Bureau helped Ronan Anderson solve the financial problem, shouldn't it be easy?

Aziz took two steps back and forth, and said, Let's look at Saleh's situation first, and I will report to the minister in the afternoon.

After getting on the elevator, Ronan was still thinking about the follow-up matters. This incident may bring about a series of chain reactions. The biggest impact is undoubtedly that he can no longer obtain financing from Abu Dhabi.

Fortunately, preparations have been made for a long time. Abu Dhabi is not the only place in the world where there are local tyrants. There are too many people who are interested in investing in Hollywood movies.

Hollywood is like a beautiful woman wearing a veil, stared at by perverts with green eyes all the time.

As for the rest, it's nothing.

After all, this is Los Angeles, not Abu Dhabi.

And this is a normal business relationship, you can't refuse the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's acquisition by yourself, and then they just make a bomb and let themselves make an earth plane, right?

The UAE is not Saudi Arabia next door.

There are also many people or companies all over the world who refuse to cooperate with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.

After getting out of the elevator, he saw a few Arabs wearing turbans walking towards him. Ronan felt that it would be no harm to be a little cautious, so he went back and hired a few professional bodyguards, just in case?

Arab countries and even the entire Middle East region should not go in recent years.

The goal of Theory of Relativity Entertainment is media and entertainment, not energy or arms trade. The Middle East market doesn't need Ronan himself.

Wait, Ronan.

A familiar voice came from behind, Ronan stopped and turned around to see Saleh chasing him.

Seeing that Saleh had something to say, Ronan pointed to the rest area in the hotel lobby and said, Let's go over there to talk.

The two came to the resting place and found a quiet place to sit down. Saleh hesitated to speak, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Ronan smiled and asked, Are you here to persuade me too?

Saleh didn't answer immediately. As a manager of the Investment Bureau, he should indeed use the personal relationship between the two to lobby Ronan, but he felt that he shouldn't make it difficult for his friend.

In the end, Saleh chose to follow his heart and said: I don't want to be involved in this matter. But, Ronan, don't blame Brother Mansur. He attaches great importance to cooperation with you and thinks that doing so can achieve a win-win situation. He also wants to To help you, after all you are our friend.

Ronan said very seriously: I have always regarded the Investment Bureau as a friend, but Saleh, shouldn't friends respect each other and treat each other as equals? Could it be that in order to help a friend, he rashly decided to acquire him without the other party's knowledge? company of?

Saleh was at a loss for words for a moment, speechless.

In his eyes, the Investment Bureau did not do well in this matter.

Saleh is the prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and he still has some right to speak. Ronan is very aware of his weight, and specifically said: I have always regarded Abu Dhabi as a friend, and I also want to let people relieve the Arab world through movies. Misunderstanding of the world, even if it is difficult, I will still face countless blank stares in Hollywood, I will still do it. My film company and I will continue to do it. I believe in one thing, no matter what beliefs, no matter where you come from, no matter what color you are, no matter what you hold All political ideas are equal!

Ronan strengthened his tone: This is a philosophy that I will never change. I understand that the Investment Bureau wants to expand its influence and eliminate misunderstandings, but things like movies should be left to professionals like me.

Sorry, Ronan. Saleh felt that Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was wrong about this matter: Really, I am very sorry. I will call Brother Mansour when I get back and ask him to dispel the idea of ​​acquiring Relativity Entertainment.

It's not very important to cancel or not. The Arabs have very little influence in the United States. Ronan just doesn't want to get into trouble with the Arab Investment Bureau. Everyone can talk and break up.

Ronan shook his head: This matter has nothing to do with you, Saleh, we are friends, you don't need to apologize for others.

Saleh smiled a bit ugly: Yes! Ronan, no matter what, we are all friends.

To be honest, Saleh is really a good person. Whether he led the way at the beginning or wanted to help now, he refreshed Ronan's understanding of Arabs.

This of course refers to the good side.

Faith does not make a person good or bad.

Ronan rarely said: Saleh, come to Los Angeles, come to the United States, if you encounter difficulties, just call me.

Of course. Saleh said with a smile: If I don't ask you, who will I look for?

Both Ronan and Saleh tacitly stopped mentioning that the Investment Bureau wanted to acquire Relativity Entertainment. After chatting for a while, Ronan left the InterContinental Hotel.

That afternoon, Ronan contacted a reputable security company and hired two bodyguards. Both of them were from the anti-terrorism force. Has more than five years of experience in bodyguards, and the protected personnel have never had any accidents.

When it comes to his own safety, he is sometimes overly cautious.

But there is only one life. Even if he dies and can be reborn, wouldn't it be a great tragedy to be reborn in a place like Somalia in Africa?

The situation was not as bad as expected. Saleh called Ronan that night. The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority heard that Ronan had no intention of selling Relativity Entertainment. Although there was an internal debate, it quickly subsided. Decided to temporarily slow down the pace of entering Hollywood.

This is just a commercial act, and it is not necessary to use means other than commercial.

Sheikh Mansour was somewhat unhappy, but after Saleh called him, the matter was settled.

If Abu Dhabi Investment Authority wants to break into the mainstream of Western society, it must also follow some of the most basic social rules.

After hearing what Saleh said on the phone, Ronan felt that the bottom line of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority was much higher than him.

He also has no choice. Abu Dhabi Investment Authority relies on a country, and there is oil underground, but what about him? If you want a background, you don't have a background, and if you want a background, you don't have a background.

Compared with those Hollywood's favorites, Ronan's conditions can only be said to be too poor.

In his previous life, Ronan read a very sad news in Moments, telling a sad story of a director with a good background. The story is exaggerated, but it can somewhat reflect the truth.

At that time, a young director named Travis Knight was under great pressure to take over the Bumblebee independent film when Transformers 5 was in full swing. If he failed, he could only give up directing this There is no way to go home and inherit tens of billions of dollars in wealth.

This story is so sad to watch.

Ronan once checked it out and found that the story was even sadder. Travis Knight had released a record, and his father bought 100,000 copies at a time. He worked in a stop-motion animation company, and his father bought the animation company directly...
