The Best Entertainment Era

Several, this way please.

On the office floor where Shahai Entertainment is located, Ronan led three Arabs in suits into an office and introduced, This is the script creation department of Shahai Entertainment.

Hassan was dressed in a suit and looked very stylish. He looked at the screenwriters who were busy at their desks and asked, Is the movie script we invested in created here?

Hussain asked curiously: Ronan, isn't the screenwriter you?

Ronan said with a smile: Hollywood has a mature script writing mode and process. I provide ideas and settings, and then hand over to the following screenwriters to write specific content.

Aziz, who also invested in Death Comes, asked: With so many people writing, won't the plot be messed up?

Ronan simply explained: As long as the creation is close to the main line, there will be no chaos. You are also experts in investing in movies one after another. You must know that Hollywood movies contain a lot of content.

Of course, the three of them would not admit that they were laymen, and nodded immediately.

Everyone has limited energy, and screenwriters are no exception. It is impossible to cover everything. Ronan added: Some people are good at writing emotional scenes, some are good at writing action scenes, and some are good at writing chase scenes. In this creative mode, everyone only If you write the play you are best at and gather everyone's strengths, the script will be even better.

Hassan seemed to understand: I see. No wonder Hollywood movies spread all over the world.

What Ronan said is not very accurate. This assembly line processing method has advantages and disadvantages.

But in this period, for commercial films, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.

Succeeding in a successful pattern is easier.

Ronan invited three more people to another office. Compared with the busy screenwriting department, this place is a bit deserted and there are not many people.

This is the production department of Sand Sea Entertainment. Ronan introduced: This department is in charge of the filming business of the entire company.

Aziz looked at the empty office and asked, There are so few people?

Ronan didn't take it seriously, and said: The employees of the department will directly participate in the preparation, shooting and production of the film. Currently, Sandsea Entertainment has many films being filmed at the same time, including a large production with an investment of 50 million US dollars.

They are basically on the set, and there are only a few left-behind personnel in the office.

Is there a $50 million big production? Hassan keenly captured the point.

Ronan smiled and said, A film adapted from a best-selling book, starring Oscar winner Matt Damon.

I don't know much about the others, but Hassan was even more concerned when he heard about the Oscar winner.

The actors who won the Oscars are definitely not ordinary actors, they are all big stars.

Hussain was also very concerned, and lightly touched Hassan's sleeve, and Aziz also winked.

Hassan understood what his companion meant, and asked tentatively, Does this film need investment?

Ronan said: The US$50 million fund has already been put in place. After the Indian Mountain Foundation visited Los Angeles last month, it reached a cooperation agreement with Sandsea Entertainment to invest US$40 million in this project.

Even the Indians are here? Hassan's face remained motionless, but his heart was heaving.

He has friends in the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. He has heard that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority no longer cooperates with Shahai Entertainment. sea ​​entertainment.

If they can benefit, they will consider reinvesting no matter what happens to the investment bureau.

Hassan has doubts to some extent, and is also worried about the problems of Shahai Entertainment.

If Indians invested in Shahai Entertainment's movies, then Sandhai Entertainment is normal, otherwise $40 million investment...

Three, please go this way.

Ronan led the three of them back to the largest office in the middle. After arriving in the reception room, Hassan saw many photo frames hanging on the wall of the reception room, most of them were movie posters, and some were photos, one of which was Shahai Entertainment's photo of George Clint exchanging contracts with an Indian.

Sit down, please. Ronan asked, Would you like tea or coffee?

Water is fine, Hassan said.

Ronan asked Eva at the front desk to bring three glasses of water.

The company is in the process of final reconciliation with the bank, and the investment settlement of Reaper will be ready in three days. Ronan said with a smile: We will settle the investment income next Monday.

Hussein asked anxiously: How much profit is this time?

Ronan deliberately said: The God of Reaper is not as profitable as Human Purge Project, with a profit margin of 30%.

Thirty percent is not low! Hussein laughed sheepishly.

Hassan gave him a wink and said, Ronan, we have always had confidence in you and your company's ability to operate movies, and this must be another win-win benefit.

I would also like to thank you for your great support, Ronan said.

Aziz interjected, The investment project you chose, Ronan, is better.

He had heard before that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority's movie lost money, and this movie could make 30% profit, which is not a lot.

Hassan's heart moved, and he took the opportunity to ask: I heard that Kingsman failed? Didn't it make a profit?

Yes, it was a disastrous commercial failure. Ronan said rather sadly: But the value of this film lies more outside of business. What I value more is its social influence.

Aziz said: The movie was good, but...

Sighing, he shook his head.

Hassan didn't pay attention to these, and asked instead: Did Abu Dhabi Investment Authority not cooperate with you because of the failure of Kingsman?

Ronan said calmly: Of course not. He was prepared and told the truth selectively: The Investment Bureau wants to buy my company, but the company is my father's painstaking effort, and I can't buy my father for a little money. The company I worked for my whole life was sold, so I turned down the investment bureau.

Hussein looked at Hassan, then at Ronan: Is this true?

Why did the promised film investment suddenly turn into buying a company? The Investment Bureau is a subsidiary institution of the royal family, but it's too domineering, right?

Hassan was a little strange: The news hasn't spread? I haven't heard of it in Abu Dhabi?

Ronan smiled and said, The representative of the Investment Bureau came to Los Angeles, and Prince Saleh also knew about it.

Hearing this, Hassan's doubts became much less, and he gradually felt relieved. The cooperation between the Investment Bureau and Shahai Films broke down, obviously not because of the problems of Shahai Entertainment, but the relationship between the Investment Bureau itself.

This shows that there is no problem with Sand Sea Entertainment.

Just go back and find someone to inquire about it, it shouldn't be difficult.

Ronan added: The Investment Bureau will no longer cooperate with Shahai Entertainment, and this will not affect our cooperation. He joked: You guys probably won't buy a Hollywood film company, right?

No, no. Hussein answered with a smile: We are engaged in investment, what do we buy a film company for? We don't understand film production and management.

Hassan echoed, Yeah, we're not interested in studios.

Hearing what the two said, Ronan pushed the topic forward in a timely manner and asked, I wonder if you are still interested in investing in movies?

Both Hussain and Aziz looked at Hassan, obviously taking Hassan's opinion as the main one.

Didn't Sandsea Entertainment find investment from India? Hassan asked, Is there still a shortage of funds?

Ronan immediately realized that the other party might still be interested in investing, and said, It's not the project I mentioned, it's a horror movie with a budget of 25 million US dollars.

It's not a big project? Hussein seemed a little disappointed.

Ronan smiled and said, This is the same as the two projects we have cooperated with before. They are both horror films. The most successful and surefire film of Shahai Entertainment is the horror film.

The Purge and Reaper are both horror movies.

Hassan and the others were lost in thought, because the success of investing in two horror film projects in a row was a fact in front of them.

We have cooperated more than once, and we are partners who trust each other. Ronan's voice was not high: The reason why you didn't notify you of the $50 million project is because it is an action spy movie, and Sandsea Entertainment tried this again. genre. Unlike horror films, Sandsea Entertainment has a successful operating model, and the risks can be minimized.”

Hassan immediately thought that the failed Kingsman was also an action movie about secret agents.

Let's think about it. Hassan didn't make a decision immediately, but hinted to Hussein and Aziz, telling them to stay calm: I will reply to you as soon as possible.

Ronan said: Hopefully it's good news, I love working with old friends.

The official channels of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority have been cut off, but it is a good thing if the private investment channels can still be maintained.

In this way, Relativity Entertainment has three overseas investment channels from India, Germany and the United Arab Emirates. If you want to raise funds to shoot top-tier productions in the future, you don’t have to worry too much about the source of funds.

Ronan had someone fetch some information about Fatal Turns and handed it over to three people.

The three of Hassan bid farewell and left, and Ronan sent them out of the company.

Just after returning to the office, Mary and George Clint, who had been waiting for a long time, knocked on the door and came in.

How? George Clint asked.

Mary also looked at Ronan with concern, which is related to which set of accounts to use.

I have investment intentions. Ronan said directly: But we can't be sure. We will wait for them for three days. If they don't reply to me, we will adopt plan A.

Such a film made a loss... George Clint had a bit more conscience than Ronan.

Ronan said lightly: This is Los Angeles, not Abu Dhabi!

George Clint nodded and said, I hope that they will continue to cooperate with us and relieve our financial pressure. Your subsequent plans will cost a lot of money.

I hope so too. Ronan said in a low voice, I'll give them 30% of the profits in Plan B, just to keep their funds out of the control of Shahai Entertainment, and let them see it on the data and reports. We are making a profit, we don’t actually get much money, and these funds will actually be in our hands all the time.”

Thirty percent of the profit is 4.5 million US dollars, plus the previous principal is only 15 million US dollars. If these people want to continue investing, the money will still stay in Sand Sea Entertainment.
