The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 65 Let Shahai have no way out

Mr. Minister, the Kingsman you gave me is a typical commercial script.

In the conference room, Fontaine first looked at Mansour and Saleh sitting in front of him, and then at the opposite Hollywood producer Ronan Anderson, who he identified as a competitor in fundraising, and said: When a movie is completely regarded as a When a commodity was created, the film was endowed with a series of defects of the commodity, such as flow production, such as popularization, such as superficiality.”

He strengthened his tone, with a slight disdain in his French accent: This is the biggest feature of Hollywood movies, and it is also a well-known flaw!

Ronan kept his composure, entered the conference room, and heard Mansour talk about asking him and the French director to express their opinions on each other's scripts, and he roughly understood why the French director Fontaine said those words before.

The other party recognized him as a competitor and regarded the meeting as a battlefield.

Ronan shook his head secretly. This person has the appearance of an Arab, but he doesn't know Sheikh Mansur at all. Thinking about what Mansur said when he gave him the script, it is very likely that this big boss of the investment bureau wants two The script provided by others is more perfect, so that the filming and production will have better results.

Chief Mansour has a good idea, but unfortunately he is a person outside the film circle after all.

Of course, this is just his guess. Who knows Chief Mansour's real thoughts, let's see the situation first.

Seeing Ronan's silence, Fontaine became more energetic: From the script of Kingsman it is not difficult to see the filming and production concept of this film. It directly attracts people through images, and does not require people to use a lot of brains to think about the content. Problems in life are simplified and stylized, completely ignoring the independent history and culture of a country, which seriously damages the value of the film.

Mansour looked normal, and seemed to be thinking about what Fontaine said.

Saleh was a little surprised. He didn't know that such a situation occurred in today's meeting. He couldn't help but look at Ronan, and found that Ronan was sitting there calmly, as if he didn't want to refute.

He glanced at his brother again, unable to see what the other party really thought.

That’s why Ronan can hold his breath. The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is very rich, and it is easy to invest in two projects at the same time.

If the French director only criticized the script of Kingsman as being heavily commercialized, he would not care, which is the truth.

Fontaine looked around at the seven or eight people in the conference room, none of them refuted, and the confidence from the art capital instantly filled his heart.

When a film is aimed at a global audience, it must dig deep into the realistic value of the film! It must have a sense of history, philosophical speculation, and humanistic thinking, and encourage the audience to think!

These words echoed in the conference room, sounding reasonable.

Ronan couldn't help but nodded slightly. The French director's theoretical level is quite high, and what he said was very reasonable. Even if he was asked to refute, he couldn't say anything for a while.

From the perspective of film art, almost everything the other party said is the truth.

If you use the attributes of movies as commodities to refute, it will inevitably leave people with the impression of being vulgar, philistine, and even profit-seeking.

This is contrary to the conscientious and tall force he created in Abu Dhabi.

I hope the French director is sober and don't get confused. The two projects don't seem to conflict.

Fontaine doesn't think so. In his opinion, these Arab brothers of his are so rich, and Mansour has also expressed his appreciation for him. Why can't the investment be in place?

France is the birthplace of film and a country of noble film art, but it is suppressed by Hollywood films in all aspects. These art film directors always take it as their duty to resist the invasion of Hollywood films.

This kind of confrontational thinking has also seriously affected his judgment.

Director Fontaine. Seeing that Fontaine suddenly stopped talking, Mansur said, Please continue.

What the other party said sounded very reasonable indeed.

Hearing this, Fontaine was greatly encouraged and said loudly: Kingsman does not have any ideological or artistic quality. When such a film is produced, there is only one goal and result-commercial benefit! It may bring monetary benefits. , but Your Excellency, are we short of money?

He puts himself in the Arab camp: I also have Arab blood, and I am also a member of the Arab brothers. Therefore, I am obliged to remind you that the Kingsman project can bring more than money. Can it bring honor? Can it make people see the cultural achievements of the Arabs? Can it realize the artistic value of the Arabs? Can it seriously discuss the messy and complicated issues in life?

Ronan looked at the French director, his peaceful eyes gradually becoming sharper.

What does the other party want to do? These words are heartbreaking.

Fontaine yelled: No! He can't bring us Arabs anything but money! Such a movie has no value to us Arabs!

Mansur's face changed, his eyes were a little gloomy, as if he was thinking carefully about Fontaine's words.

Robert couldn't help but wanted to stand up and refute. Ronan pulled him gently, and reminded him to hold his breath with his eyes. It is no good to refute indiscriminately at this time.

Saleh looked towards Ronan frequently. He had never been in contact with the Frenchman, and he always leaned towards Ronan.

Of all the men of Hollywood he's dealt with, Ronan is the only one who treats the Arab world as fairly as he does.

What the French director Fontaine said is not easy to refute.

Ronan knew this well. The French director came prepared, and seemed to want to follow the path that Shahai Entertainment had taken, leaving Shahai Entertainment with nowhere to go in Abu Dhabi.

Obviously able to co-exist, but insists on killing Kingsman because he is from Paris, the capital of art, and Shahai Entertainment belongs to Hollywood?

Ronan does know that European directors generally do not like to see Hollywood commercial films and related practitioners.

He was a little caught off guard by the fact that he had no intention to calculate with his mind.

Ronan has been thinking, where is the point of counterattack?

Since he doesn't want to coexist, it's better for the other party to get out of the game. After all, this plan has a lot to do with it. It not only involves the filming and production of Reaper is Coming, it is also closely related to the distribution company he plans to plan next.

From the perspective of the boss of a commercial company, those who violate their fundamental interests are definitely enemies.

Fontaine once again looked around the meeting room, determined that he had won a certain advantage, and said: The benefits that commercial films can bring are all superficial and based on money. These are exactly what we need the most!

How many people dare to say that the Investment Bureau representing the funds of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi is short of money? Definitely will be stoned to death by money.

On the other hand, my project. Fontaine talked a lot, and finally connected with his own film: A film that deeply reflects the reality of Arab society and Abu Dhabi. This kind of film can let the world see Abu Dhabi. The real face will give people a real understanding of the social and human reality of Abu Dhabi.

Mansour nodded slightly. Arab countries have always been mysterious. To become a country with world influence, the so-called mystery must be eliminated first.

Hearing what the French director said, Ronan suddenly had an idea.

Fontaine continued: As for the future of this film, I will take it to participate in the competition of the Cannes Film Festival, and strive to win an award and attract the attention of the world! The honor will belong to all Arab brothers!

Cannes Film Festival? Ronan suddenly laughed in his heart, and his thoughts became clear instantly.

Mansur was very satisfied with what Fontaine said, and nodded slightly, the honor of the three major film festivals...

At this moment, Ronan finally spoke, Mr. Minister, Director Fontaine, I have a few questions.

If Mansur opens his mouth to announce his investment in Fontaine's project, even if Kingsman is not 100% out of the game, it may be affected later.

Besides, the other party reminded Mansur not to invest in Kingsman again and again, did he really think that he was sitting here made of mud?
