The Best Entertainment Era

Everyone's eyes turned to Ronan in an instant, and Robert was a little worried. If this is not handled well, it will definitely affect the financing plan.

Fontaine stared at Ronan closely. Can this young Hollywood producer have a better understanding of film art than him?

If this person refuted it, he would only leave a bad image of being a mess, and what did he use to refute it, the way of Hollywood business? Mansour and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority are not short of money!

In Fontaine's eyes, Ronan Anderson has been squeezed into a corner where he can't get out.

Fontaine was waiting for Ronan's rebuttal.

Ronan seemed not to have heard what Fontaine said just now, picked up a script in front of him, and said: Mr. Fontaine, this is Life in Arabia written by you. Do you want to shoot this script in a realistic way?

These words are instructive, but between the lines of the script, realistic information is revealed, and Fontaine's criticism of Kingsman just now also leaked a little bit of his own style.

Fontaine also thought so, and he replied first: Yes, an excellent movie must be able to truly reflect social issues. Then he asked back: Why is my script in your place?

Ronan smiled and looked at Mansur, who said, I want Mr. Anderson to give me some advice.

Him? Fontaine's dissatisfaction was instantly written on his face, but thinking of the identity of Mansur's patron, he swallowed the questioning words back.

Then I found an explanation for myself: Mansur is not from the film industry, and some things may not be very particular.

Ronan asked again: The film really reflects the content written in the script?

Of course. Fang Danxin said that there is something wrong with you, if you don't shoot like this, why should I write like this?

Ronan said lightly: The script's fifth scene, ninth scene, eleventh to fifteenth scenes, and the final ending, all the plots involving the heroine as a commoner and ordinary person are telling The injustice of society, the hardships of ordinary life, and even the misfortune caused by beliefs and social problems.

He deliberately asked, Is that so, Director Fontaine?

Fontaine said with some pride: I shoot realistic movies, which must truly reflect current social issues.

Ronan asked again: The background of the heroine's life is in Abu Dhabi, right?

Fontaine was a little impatient. Does this person understand movies? He replied patiently, It's in Abu Dhabi.

Everyone was a little confused and didn't understand what Ronan meant.

Ronan continued to ask: Are you going to take this movie to the International Film Festival?

The plan is the Cannes Film Festival, and Berlin and Venice are also possible. Fontaine was really a little angry this time: I don't understand the point of your asking these questions.

Ronan didn't answer Fontaine's words, but looked at Mansour, and said very seriously: Mr. Minister, this director Fontaine claims to be an Arab brother, but in fact he is no different from those film practitioners in the West who discredit Arabs. .Oh, there's a difference, he's doing it more covertly.

Fontaine's eyes widened, and he looked at Ronan in disbelief: How can you slander people?

How do you say that? Mansur was also a little surprised: I have also read the script, but I haven't seen this aspect.

You are slandering the director and film art. Fontaine said again.

Mansoor glanced at him, and Fontaine shut his mouth.

I need an explanation, Mansour said.

Robert looked at Ronan worriedly, how could he say such things casually.

If Director Fontaine can complete this film well, and participate in the competition of the three major film festivals. Ronan is very calm, I have no doubt that the film will win the award.

Uh... Fontaine was completely confused.

Is this going around and praising yourself?

Ronan said unhurriedly: Every country,

There are good sides and bad sides, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Arabia, even in Northern Europe with a good welfare system.

This is a simple truth that all middle school students understand, and no one denies it.

Western society has always looked at the Far East and the Middle East with colored glasses. Ronan continued: They turn a blind eye to the good side of most countries in these regions, but desperately dig out and promote the relatively less good side, never caring whether their ass is not clean.

Mansur is still a political man, and he said this to his heart: That's right, please continue.

Ronan showed a modest smile and said: This situation is particularly obvious in the cultural field. I don't know if Mr. Minister has paid attention to it. Many films that deliberately describe their own country are not very beautiful, and they always win awards at film festivals dominated by the West. , because Westerners are happy to see this, and they like to see what they call ignorant people showing their ugliness in front of audiences all over the world.

Mansur seems to understand what Ronan is saying, he just lacks knowledge of movies, but he is not stupid.

And I have been to the West for many years, and I have personally experienced the prejudice and even slander of Arab countries by Westerners.

Ronan picked up the script again and said, Why did Director Fontaine shoot in a realistic way? He's going to participate in a film festival, so he still has the confidence to win an award?

Without waiting for the French director to speak, he asked himself and answered: Obviously, this film trades the tears of Arabs for the sympathy of Westerners, and Westerners also like to watch this kind of film, because they need a bad movie. of the Arabs have graced their democratic life.

Ronan suddenly raised his voice: It is very hopeful that such a film will win an award!

Fontaine distinguished: My film is realistic! It has nothing to do with what you said!

Ronan didn't care about him at all: Any country has good and bad sides. As far as I know, Abu Dhabi has been working hard to solve the problem. Why do some people stare at the bad side? They also want to promote it through movies. ? There is a problem at home, and it can be solved by closing the door, but what is the purpose of those who deliberately spread it out?

Mansur suddenly realized that he thought there was something wrong with Fontaine's script before, but he couldn't figure out where the specific problem was. After all, what Fontaine wrote was also a part of Arab society, not fabricated out of thin air.

Now that I heard Ronan's words, I immediately understood that this was to uncover the scars of Arab society for those so-called liberal democrats to see.

Fontaine was very anxious, and in a hurry, his mother tongue came out, and a long list of the most accustomed French popped out of his mouth.

Unfortunately, no one present could understand French.

Ronan was more critical than Fontaine's words before: To please the mainstream Western cultural circles to win awards? He said coldly: Exaggerate the ugliest side of the Arabs who are slandered by Westerners, show them to Westerners, and cater to Because of the Westerners' mentality of vilifying Arabs, it won the award...

When he said this, he had a feeling that he couldn't stand himself, but for the sake of financing, he suppressed it instantly.

You can't even tell lies with your eyes open, and you still want to be a successful film producer?

Ronan continued: Why do you want to film the dark side of society and marginalized people, instead of the prosperity of Abu Dhabi and the kindness and beauty of the Arab people? In order to cater to the distorted psychology of some people in the West, Director Fontaine deliberately used dark means Photographing the country's backwardness. It only knows how to show the ugliness of human nature and the country's backwardness, but never proposes how to improve it, and can't see the country's efforts and sweat. Not only does it have no meaning for the Arabs, but it discredits the country and the country internationally. The image of fellow countrymen.

Well said! Saleh agreed, These people have bad intentions!

Robert suddenly laughed, Ronan's skill is really clever, he has also read that script, it was written about the difficult life of ordinary people, but he secretly changed the concept...

But when you think about it carefully, what Ronan said is very reasonable. Regardless of the three major European movies or the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, they often do what Ronan said.
