The Best Entertainment Era

Mr. Anderson, as far as I know, Sand Sea Entertainment is just a small production company in Hollywood.

In the meeting room of the Oberoi Hotel, Nick Roshan looked at Ronan and the others, and said, Your side has been shooting videotape movies before, and it has only really developed in the last year.

Ronan smiled and nodded: To be precise, Shahai Entertainment started filming The Purge of Mankind in 1998 before it really set foot in theatrical film production business. Film.

After he gestured, Sterling turned on the slide projector, and a relevant data was projected on the white curtain hanging in the conference room.

Ronan turned on the laser pointer, pointed to the data report and said: The Purge of Humanity has a total box office of 112.08 million US dollars worldwide, plus peripheral income such as home entertainment and other copyrights, the total revenue exceeds 200 million US dollars.

Many of these belong to overseas income. Since overseas copyrights were sold out at the beginning, the actual overseas income has little to do with Shahai Entertainment.

But this does not prevent Ronan from including it in the film's total revenue statistics: It is the great success of The Purge of Humans that made Shahai Entertainment enter the theater film production company from a video tape production company.

Although Rakesh Ross Khan has a large amount of money, seeing the figure of 200 million US dollars, he still has some heart, and asked Nick Ross Khan in a low voice: Is it true?

Nick Roshan said in a low voice: This kind of data is easy to check. There should be no need for the other party to cheat. I'll find out when I get someone to check it later.

Rakesh Ros Khan thought in his mind, how many Bollywood movies would he have to invest in to have such an income?

Ronan went on to say: Kingsman has just started to be screened overseas. It once queued up to watch in the Arab region. It has already earned nearly 7 million US dollars at the box office. The global box office revenue is close to 20 million US dollars, and the box office figures are still steady Increase.

Death Comes has aroused strong responses around the world, and it is currently being screened. The global box office has reached 100 million US dollars, and the total revenue is expected to exceed 200 million US dollars in the future.

It's hard to lie about numbers like this, and Nick Rosshan has spent years in Los Angeles and knows rough numbers are easy to verify.

The three recent films produced by Shahai Entertainment have a total investment of less than 50 million U.S. dollars, and the total revenue can reach at least 450 million U.S. dollars. Ronan turned off the laser pointer and said, Data does not lie, data is also sand. The best proof of Hai Entertainment's strength.

Rakesh Rose Khan originally intended to invest in Hollywood, and said at this time: Three films in two years, your film projects are a bit small.

Ronan smiled and said: Shahai Entertainment is taking the high-quality line. We will carefully conduct market research on each film project, and select projects with real market potential. It is impossible for us to know that a film will be produced. It is irresponsible to investors to invest in production even if it fails!

Nick Rosshan immediately asked, Are you financing these three films?

Yes. What Ronan can say must be verifiable: Sandsea 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 obtained Great rewards.

Sterling changed a slide at this time, and Ronan turned on the laser pointer again, aiming at another data report.

Rakesh Ross Khan's face remained unchanged, but his heart was a little tumbling. The return on investment of the Arabs in the Human Clear Project was close to 100%!

This is too scary!

Winning profits! he whispered to Nick Roshan.

Nick Roshan nodded and kept this matter in his heart. They also have business dealings with the UAE, so it is not difficult to verify.

Mr. Anderson. Nick Rosshan asked, Is your new project's rate of return also so high?

Ronan knew that this was not those people in Abu Dhabi who did not understand the film industry, and said: The two of you who have invested in Bollywood films must be very clear that no one can guarantee 100% success before a film is released, and no one can truly Forecasting the revenue of the film, the project of The Bourne project, I can't guarantee that it will be successful.

Rakesh Ross Khan and Nick Ross Khan looked at each other, and the two had the same idea. Compared to DreamWorks, which was bragging about making a lot of money, Ronan Anderson was at least very honest.

During several contacts with DreamWorks, people from DreamWorks completely regarded them as laymen who did not understand movies, but they did not want to think that Mountain Fund is located in Mumbai and often invests in Bollywood.

This is also one of the reasons why they have not reached an investment intention with DreamWorks for a long time.

Ronan didn't seem to see the actions of Rakesh Roshan and Nick Roshan, and continued: Business investment is bound to be accompanied by risks, but Sandsea Entertainment has done 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 based on The Identity of Bourne by Robert Ludlum, the father of the modern international thriller. Robert Ludlum's 24 works have been translated into Available in 32 languages ​​and with a global sales volume of more than 200 million copies, Bourne's Identity dominated the best-seller list in the United States for many consecutive months that year, and has a broad audience base.

Rakesh-Rose Khan knew this writer, and he had read the ** file written by the other party.

Ronan added: For this adaptation, we plan to make it the most popular action spy movie in Hollywood with a total budget of 50 million US dollars. We have already invited Oscar winner Matt Damon to play the leading actor Jason Bourne. Rich British director Paul Greengrass directs...

Following Ronan's words, Robert sent two scripts and well-produced storyboard drawings to Rakesh Ross Khan and Nick Ross Khan.

Then, more and more detailed information was handed over to the two by Robert.

Listening to Ronan's words and looking at the information in his hands, Rakesh Roshan, who wanted to enter Hollywood very much, believed more and more that this is a good opportunity.

Shahai Films is very sincere, a hundred times stronger than DreamWorks.

This is the attitude that a partner should have.

Win-win, mutual benefit. Ronan finally said: This is our consistent principle for cooperation.

Nick Roshan asked: Didn't you cooperate with Abu Dhabi Investment Authority before? As far as I know, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has sufficient funds...

Ronan showed a wry smile: Don't be afraid to tell the truth, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is very ambitious, and simply cooperating with movies can't satisfy their appetite. They want to acquire my company. I can't accept this. I can only give up and continue with them. cooperate.

From cooperation 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.

It's like someone suddenly jumped out and wanted to acquire 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, not to control Hollywood companies.

In this regard, there is no conflict of interest between the two parties.

But Nick Ross Khan was still worried. During those years in Los Angeles, he heard some rumors about Hollywood.

Bourne Shadow is undoubtedly a good project, and Matt Damon, who won the Oscar statuette, is also a big star...

Mr. Anderson. Nick Rosshan asked directly: There are often problems in the Hollywood industry where producers embezzle investment funds, and there are problems such as filming that cannot be completed. Do you have safeguards in this regard?

Ronan was already prepared, pointing to the information Robert had just given to the two, and said: There is a copy of the contract, which is a third-party completion guarantee signed by Sandsea Entertainment and the Firefighters Fund Insurance Company under the Allianz Group. Contract. Shahai Entertainment has insured the Bourne Shadow project with the Fireman's Fund Company. If the filming encounters an unexpected situation, the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company will mobilize personnel and funds to complete the film. If the film cannot be completed, the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company will A total of $60 million will be paid out to investors.

Rakesh Ross Khan was a little moved: The insurance company of Allianz Group?

Nick Rosshan whispered: An international giant in the insurance industry with a solid reputation.

Seeing them open the contract, Ronan said, The Fireman's Fund Insurance Company will set up a third-party protection account for the Bourne Shadow project. All the funds invested by the investor will be stored in this account. There is no insurance. The company's audit determined that no one could have withdrawn funds from it.

Nick Roshan asked: If Mountain Fund invests, won't the money go to Sandsea Entertainment's account?

Yes. Ronan replied, The money will be supervised by the insurance company.

Being guaranteed by an insurance company has undoubtedly reassured Nick Ross Khan and Rakesh Ross Khan a lot. Compared with ordinary commercial companies, reputation is more important for insurance companies.

The two of them read the insurance company's contract and began to discuss cooperation with Ronan more deeply.

During the first day of negotiations, the two sides established the most basic relationship of trust, and for this cooperation, both parties indeed have great sincerity.

This is the basis for future cooperation.

Ronan was very frank here, because he never thought of playing tricks on the funds invested by the other party. The previous cooperation with Abu Dhabi did not have a third party as a guarantee. Naturally, he could come at will, and even the entire company's expenses They are all attached to the crew.

Certainly not this project.

Therefore, the information provided by Ronan to the Mountain Fund is all true and credible.

In addition to negotiating, Nick Rosshan and Rakesh Ross also launched a network to verify all the information, and even specially found someone to verify the third-party guarantee contract with Allianz Group and Fireman's Fund Insurance Company.

A few days later, they summarized the verified news from various sources.

There is nothing wrong. Nick Ross Khan said to Rakesh Ross Khan: The data and contracts provided by the other party are all true and credible.

Rakesh Ross Khan said: Ronan Anderson has expressed his sincerity for cooperation, and we have also expressed our sincerity. He quickly made a decision: At the dinner that night, I watched Ronan Anderson and Priyanka Chopra We had a good chat.
