The Best Entertainment Era

? In the banquet hall of the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, the waiters are making final preparations.

Rakesh Ross Khan approached his deputy and nephew Nick Ross Khan and asked: Is everything ready?

With a shrewd face in gold-rimmed glasses, Nick Roshan said: Get ready. Aishwarya Rai has accepted the invitation and will be there soon. Also, I'm also from the Miss India competition. Among the players, I found one with excellent appearance, and I will be there in five minutes.

Rakesh-Rose Khan is still a little uneasy: Are they okay?

Aishwarya Rai's new film has our investment. Although we can't force her to do something, but we introduce a few American friends to her, and she is very happy to come. Nick Roshan said simply: Another , with our relationship among the judges of Miss India, there is no problem in ensuring that she enters the top ten, and she is willing to pay for it.

Satisfied, Rakesh Ros Khan nodded slightly.

But Nick Rosshan said: Ronan Anderson and Shahai Entertainment are worth what we do? As far as I know, this is just a small Hollywood company, not as big as DreamWorks. If we cooperate with them, will it be worth it? risky?

Rakesh Roshan looks at his nephew with admiration, does not follow blindly, and does not trust others easily. These are all advantages.

It's just a preliminary contact now. We'll see if we want to cooperate. Rakesh Roshan said admiringly: Although Robert Lee has introduced us to the general situation of the project, these alone can get us thousands of dollars. Million dollar investment?

He whispered: We have been planning to enter Hollywood since a year and a half ago, but we can't find a suitable investment channel. Small productions are not worth our shot, but big productions don't need our investment. DreamWorks lacks sincerity. Nan-Anderson is an opportunity. But whether this opportunity is suitable for us or not, we need to observe carefully.

Nick Rosshan nodded: I know what to do.

Just as he was about to leave, Rakesh Roshan grabbed him and said, You once went to the United States to study and also worked in Los Angeles. I will entrust you with the main work this time.

Americans are unreliable, especially people in Hollywood. Although Nick Rosshan's work in the United States had nothing to do with the film industry, he knew something about it: If the other party cannot provide us with a guaranteed investment opportunity, My advice is to give up rather than invest rashly.

Rakesh Roshan said: We'll see.

A woman about twenty-five years old came in at this time, and Nick Rosshan went up to greet her, and not long after another girl of seventeen or eighteen years old also arrived.

Ten minutes later, a small team consisting of Ronan, George, Robert, Garcia and Sterling also rushed to the banquet hall.

This can be said to be a formal business meeting, and both sides were introduced by Robert and Nick Rosshan.

There are five people on Ronan's side, and there are also five people on the other side. In addition to Rakesh Roshan and Nick Roshan's uncle and nephew, there is another executive from the Mountain Foundation.

As for the two women, they seemed to be there for decoration.

This is Ms. Aishwarya Rai, currently one of the most famous actresses in Bollywood. Nick Roshan introduced to Ronan and others: This is Priyanka Chopra, who is participating in the Miss India selection.

Ronan shook hands with the two women one by one and said hello, and looked at the two at the same time. He just glanced at Aishwarya Rai, and then his eyes fell on Priyanka Chopra.

In fact, Ronan does not know much about Indian movies. The Indian star who has heard the most is that Indian Andy Lau. He has never heard of the popular Bollywood actress of this era.

Priyanka Chopra, he had this name in his memory, so he took a closer look. He has long breasts, thighs, and a beautiful face. His appearance is biased towards Western white women, but he is very recognizable. Indian beauty.

The status of Indian women is very low. What does it mean that these two people appear at the banquet?

Although Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra can speak fluent English and have no communication problems at all, Ronan didn't say much to them other than polite pleasantries.

Even, Ronan was somewhat wary of these two women.

In his perception, the image of male superiority and inferiority in Indian society is very serious. A Bollywood actress, a beauty contestant, appears in this kind of place just for company?

The upper class in India is basically Westernized. Although many meals at the dinner are full of Indian-style delicacies, they use typical Western-style meals.

Several people chatted while eating.

Occasionally, at the suggestion of Rakesh Roshan, the two sides will toast together.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Ronan always feels that Priyanka Chopra is watching him secretly.

While Rakesh Ross Khan and Garcia were discussing the release of Hollywood movies, Robert leaned over to Ronan and said in a low voice, The Indians will use beauty tricks on you.

But Ronan didn't answer the call. The two sides haven't had substantive contact yet, and even the initial cooperation intention hasn't been reached. It's too early to talk about these messes.

But he still took a look at Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra, the Indian Asan will never die!

What Robert said makes sense, these two women are probably sugar-coated cannonballs.

What should we do in the face of sugar-coated cannonballs?

Ronan thought of what happened in London, the hunter cannot become the prey.

This is a formal business dinner. Even though Indian women have a low status and there are more messy things in Bollywood than Hollywood, there will be no bloody things.

Ronan's energy is still focused on dealing with Rakesh Ross Khan and Nick Ross Khan.

So Nick, you also graduated from the University of Southern California? Ronan raised his glass and gestured to Nick Rosshan: We are alumni, and I went to the USC Film School.

Nick Rosshan was a little surprised. Alumni are a very strange social relationship. He quickly had a drink with Ronan and said, I'm studying in the School of Public Policy.

Ronan immediately searched Anderson's memory and asked, Do you know Professor Aryang?

Nick Roshan answered immediately: I used to be my tutor, but only for one academic year.

Ronan smiled and said, I have followed Professor Aryang's elective course, and he and my tutor, Professor Johnson, have been friends for many years.

Are you a student of Professor Johnson? Nick Rosshan was somewhat pleasantly surprised: I have read many of Professor Johnson's treatises on Hollywood movies, which are very helpful to my current work.

Ronan said: The professor's research on film theory is at the top level in the entire American film industry.

The two chatted about various anecdotes and rumors about the University of Southern California, as if they had found a common language, and would toast and drink together when they were happy.

But Ronan saw very clearly that this was only a superficial phenomenon.

The two sides have not talked about work for the time being. In addition, everyone present can speak fluent English, and most of them have the background of studying in the United Kingdom and the United States. The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively for a while.

Aishwarya Rai also had a chat with Ronan in the middle, roughly asking about the development space of Hollywood minority actresses.

In contrast, Priyanka Chopra may be a little silent because of her youth and experience.

In the middle, Ronan went to the bathroom, perhaps because the Taj Mahal Hotel was built too early, there is no separate bathroom in the banquet hall.

Walking into the public restroom, Ronan suddenly thought of an Indian movie he had seen in his previous life. It revolved around the simplest toilet and one of the basic symbols of human civilization. An Indian family was like a war. to the point of divorce.

It has to be said that it is hard to imagine such a situation outside of this country.

It can only be said that the poorer you are, the more backward you are, and the more backward you are, the more ignorant you are.

Just like Ronan's hometown city in the previous life, the wealthy urban areas don't care about how many gifts, they are more for a lottery, but the poorer the place, the more they want, such as three catties and three taels and the like.

Ronan came out of the bathroom and was washing his hands at the sink. Someone came out from the women's bathroom, but it was Priyanka Chopra.

Mr. Anderson. Priyanka Chopra greeted.

Ronan nodded and smiled, Hi, Miss Chopra.

He politely waited for Priyanka Chopra to finish washing his hands, and walked towards the banquet hall together. Priyanka Chopra is young, but has a very good figure, like an Indian actress, as long as she is beautiful, All very sexy.

Is this a characteristic of high caste women in India?

Ronan asked softly, I just heard from Miss Chopra that she stayed in America?

I went to middle school in the United States for a while. Priyanka Chopra replied: Newton North Middle School in Massachusetts and North Diaerta High School in Iowa. I just came back from the United States at the beginning of this year.

Ronan asked curiously, In order to participate in a beauty contest?

Priyanka Chopra didn't speak, and Ronan said, I'm taking the liberty.

It's okay. Priyanka Chopra smiled: I...I want to be an actor, and I tried to go to Hollywood during the summer vacation, but I never found a chance. Then I heard about this competition, so I signed up .”

She also explained: In India, if you can get good results in beauty pageants, you can become an actor soon, and Aishwarya Rai is also following this path.

Ronan nodded, and when he reached the door of the banquet hall, he opened the door proactively like a gentleman, letting Priyanka Chopra in first, and followed into the banquet hall.

The atmosphere of this dinner was very good. In the second half of the banquet, the two sides also briefly explored the matter of cooperation. It can be said that both parties have the sincerity of cooperation. Enter Hollywood to do international business.

The banquet ended in a warm and peaceful atmosphere, and the two parties agreed to formally discuss cooperation the next morning.
