The Best Entertainment Era
Chapter 62: The Meat-robbing Shark
Mr. Minister, my films are not comparable to those cheap horror films and popcorn movies.
For the sake of Qian Tu, Fang Dan secretly gritted his teeth and said, If such an Arab art film can win an award at the three major film festivals, the impact it will have will be huge and far-reaching, enough to be recorded in history!
Because of investing in a film, Mansour has a little understanding of the film industry, and naturally knows the long history and huge influence of the three major European film festivals.
An award for an Arabic film has considerable appeal for him.
But he didn't express his opinion immediately. He always felt that there was something wrong with the script provided by Fontaine. Because he was an outsider, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Seeing that Mansur did not say anything, Fontaine said: Mr. Minister, you have already set foot in the film industry, which is well known. The first film Human Purge Project invested in will be released in the UAE soon, but Hollywood's The crowd is unbelievable!
Mansour had read the Kingsman script and investment statement faxed by Saleh. Ronan Anderson has done impeccable work. Is such a person credible?
Returning to Paris with a huge sum of investment, or continuing to be a pauper among directors, Fontaine believes that the turning point of fate lies in Abu Dhabi.
What is the core of Hollywood movies? Business! Profit! He continued: Those people in Hollywood can betray even film art for commercial profit, let alone other things? The essence of film art should be the transmission of culture. It is an expression of faith and the essence of society, not just entertainment!
Mansur nodded slowly. He didn't agree with what he said about Ronan Anderson earlier, but the words about film art still moved him to some extent.
There is some truth to this.
Maybe you can try to invest in the films of this Mr. Fontaine, continue to invest in Hollywood commercial films, and try high-end art films at the same time.
If the latter can win the award, this investment will be earned.
Abu Dhabi Investment Authority has no shortage of money, but every penny must be used where it should be used.
Both projects seem to be good.
Mansur received a higher education and definitely belongs to the elite class. He ran through the two scripts quickly in his head. Ronan Anderson's script was too entertaining and lacked inner thought, and Fontaine's script was too obscure...
Mr. Fontaine. Mansur had an idea: I still need someone to evaluate your script. You wait a few days in Abu Dhabi, and I will give you an answer as soon as possible.
Hearing this, Fontaine was slightly relieved.
Mansour does not have talents who study movies intensively. The entire UAE film industry is at a stage where it can only be imported but cannot be filmed and produced, and no professional evaluation talents can be found. His idea is very simple, let Ronan Anderson evaluate Fontaine script.
Hmmm... also let Fontaine evaluate Ronan Anderson's script.
Maybe combining the best of both worlds can make the movie even better?
Yes, the combination of business and art.
Mansur took a copy and handed it to Fontaine: This is a Hollywood script I just received, please take a look and give me your opinion.
Fontaine took it over immediately, and under the name of Kingsman on the cover of the script was the author of the script, and a name he had heard was written on it - Ronan Anderson!
Competitor's script...
He opened it and flipped through it, and it was just the first paragraph, so he almost couldn't read it anymore. It was helicopter bombing, explosion and killing, all of which were extremely vulgar Hollywood routines.
Mansur put away Fontaine's script and planned to let Ronan Anderson read it when he saw it.
The limousine stopped in front of a hotel, and Fontaine was about to get off the car. Mansour invited: You rest first, and I will send someone to pick you up in the afternoon to attend the premiere in the evening.
Fontaine understood that this was referring to the Human Purge Project\
,"I just want to see who Ronan Anderson is. If you want to beat your competitors, you must first understand your competitors.
Several days have passed since the conversation with Mansour in Saudi Arabia. Mansour has never let go of his investment, which may have something to do with these people from Hollywood.
…………
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the UAE premiere of The Purge of Humanity kicked off at the Emirates Grand Theater in Abu Dhabi.
Many rich people, celebrities and members of the royal family from the emirate of Abu Dhabi attended the premiere, and even Dubai sent representatives over.
Ronan specially appeared in front of many media cameras, walked through the long red carpet, and after arriving at the interview area, he embraced the actor Muhammad warmly in front of countless cameras.
A reporter from the UAE National Television immediately came to interview.
Mr. Anderson, Arabs rarely play important roles in Hollywood movies. The reporter asked, How is your cooperation with Muhammad this time?
In recent days, Mohammed and his wife have been participating in various media activities in Abu Dhabi.
Ronan replied: In life, Muhammad is an intellectual, he is very smart and has a high IQ. On the set, he is a great actor. When shooting, his greatness is that he can take reality His own life and shadows are all erased in his life. In this movie, he performed very well, because on the scene, he erased all his personality and devoted himself completely to the role. He is a very easy to work with able to fill a variety of roles.”
This is the answer that all three parties are willing to hear.
Ronan needs to show the position of his old Arab friends, and Abu Dhabi officials want to highlight Arab actors.
Muhammad is a little grateful, because he has been ignored and discriminated against for too long, and respect will become more important.
The reporter asked again: What was your original intention for making this film?
Ronan started talking nonsense: Using movies to show the social reality of the United States. This is an anti-violence movie full of violence. Violence is everywhere in American society. American society is by no means as good as it looks on the outside. I hope this film will attract the attention of the whole society, violence, discrimination and government inaction will destroy this society.
People who criticize the Washington authorities inappropriately are definitely not qualified Hollywood filmmakers.
The reporter continued to ask: When we interviewed Mr. Mohammed, he mentioned Hollywood's discrimination against a small number of actors. What do you think?
This is true. Ronan looked sad. This is unfair and deeply hurts those who really love movies. I very much hope to change this situation and am willing to work hard for it.
At this moment, he became a civil rights fighter for freedom and equality: No matter what you believe in, no matter where you come from, no matter what skin color you are, no matter what political ideas you hold, you are all equal!
Muhammad next to him nodded repeatedly. It would be great if there were more good people like Ronan in Hollywood.
Thank you, Mr. Anderson, said the reporter. You are a true friend of ours.
Ronan said at the right time: As a friend, you can't just talk about it. I have been doing it all the time, so I have this movie.
The reporter nodded heavily: Yes! You are so right!
After the interview, Ronan and Mohammad came to the group photo area, took photos with some officials from the Investment Bureau, and then entered the VIP room of the theater to meet Saleh.
Come here. Saleh led Ronan into the next lounge: Brother Mansur wants to see you.
Ronan entered the lounge, immediately saw Mansur, and greeted with a smile: Hello, Mr. Minister.
Hi, Mr. Anderson. Mansur shook his hand.
The two chatted a few words about the Human Clearance Plan, and Mansur said proactively: I have read your proposal and the script of Ace Agent. .”
Thank you for your support from the Investment Bureau and Mr. Minister. Ronan was very patient.
Oh, that's right. Mansur took a bound book and handed it over: This is a newly received script. I don't have any professional candidates here. Can you look it over for me and give me some advice?
Ronan took the script and glanced at it. The title of the script was written in French, English and Arabic. It was called Life in the United Arab Emirates.
I met a French director in Saudi Arabia who had great ideas. He is going to shoot an art film that reflects the society of the United Arab Emirates. The goal is for the three major European film festivals...
Mansur said briefly.
Ronan kept his composure, opened the script and browsed quickly, but his mind was not on the script, but the so-called French director.
Sharks smelling blood came to grab the meat so soon?
Suggestions? Ronan confirmed.
Mansur didn't seem to be talking, but was quite serious: Mr. Anderson, I believe in your professional standards, please read this script carefully.
It was impossible for Ronan to refuse, saying, Okay, I need some time.
Mansur replied with a smile: No rush.
After the conversation ended, Ronan left the lounge first, entered the VIP room, and had a chat with the people introduced by Saleh.
