Chapter 9: Meeting the Big boss

"This is Mr. Ronan Anderson, the president of Sand Sea Pictures."

"This is my brother Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Director of the Office of the President of the UAE, and Director of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority."

Under Saleh's introduction, Ronan shook hands with the Abu Dhabi boss.

After introducing both parties, Saleh took the initiative to leave.

There were only four people left in this magnificent meeting room.

Ronan was seated alone, next to Abu Dhabi tycoon Mansour, and behind the tycoon stood two followers in their forties.

Ronan's head has been moving quickly since he saw Mansour.

Before that, he felt that his name was familiar, and he felt more familiar after seeing the real person.

This person is four or five years older than Saleh...

"Mr.Anderson." Mansour was very polite: "Welcome to Abu Dhabi."

Ronan responded with a smile, "Thank you Mr. Zayed and I have to thank Abu Dhabi for giving me this opportunity."

A picture from his memory appeared suddenly,

Isn't this the man who became the chairman of previous life's Premier League club "Manchester city"

At that time, he was already a front-stage agent of the Abu Dhabi consortium, and it is said that the assets of the Abu Dhabi consortium exceeded one trillion US dollars.

This is a big guy.

Not to mention the previous life, just the two current titles, you can be called a big brother.

Ronan had never dealt with a character of this level.

Suddenly he felt a little nervous in front of such a big level character

Although the status of the royal family is very important, he must also have a good abilities.

It will not be easy for him to open his wallet obediently.

And if his response is not good, all the previous efforts will be in vain.

This is a huge crisis.

But Ronan didn't show it. His face was calm and natural.

Isn't the crisis also an opportunity?

If it is ten years later and Arab funds invade the Western world, he will retreat with a few polite words, but now...

After coming to Abu Dhabi, he had frequent contact with people from the Investment Bureau,

And he was able to perceive the mentality of these people.

After completing the accumulation of oil funds,

Abu Dhabi not only pursues investment and money but also wants to establish a reputation around the world and expand its influence.

Once Mansour spent a huge amount of money investing in the Premier League, it is estimated that he became a representative figure in this regard.

If Mansour can invest, the funding problem will be solved immediately.

Although he was worried, the opportunity was presented in front of him, and he couldn't let it go easily.

Letting go may magnify the crisis countless times.

After a few polite words from both sides, Mansour asked very directly," Mr.Anderson, I heard that you just messed up a movie?"

On the first day of the fundraising meeting, he went to the site to see it and obtained a lot of information.

He also commissioned the investment bureau's headquarters in the United States to conduct an on-site investigation of Ronan Anderson and Sand Sea Entertainment.

Although the results of the investigation have not been passed on for the time being,

The performance of this Mr. Anderson and the information he provided was so detailed that even his tax records seem to be reassuring.

"Yes."

Ronan knew that he couldn't hide it, so the truth to be told would be truthful,

"I raised six million dollars and made an action movie called "The Knight", but the box office in North America was only 800,000 US dollars. ."

Mansour frowned slightly, and a fat man behind him interjected, "The first movie failed, then can the second movie you make ensure success?"

Their money was exchanged for oil, not from the wind.

So they will investigate thoroughly before investing

Ronan watched very carefully.

Mansour couldn't speak such impolite words directly, so he simply asked his subordinates to ask.

"Many Hollywood directors and gold medals producers, like Spielberg and George Lucas, were unsuccessful in their first film."

Ronan was not afraid to mention past failures.

"James Cameron, the director of "Titanic", his first film "Piranha" also ended disastrously."

"James Cameron's first film also failed?" Fatty didn't seem to believe it.

Ronan smiled "It's not a secret in Hollywood."

He added, "I can't compare to these amazing and talented characters, but "The Knight" was the first film I made, and I was impulsive.

I was radical and made many mistakes.

Failure made me fully aware of the mistakes and will help me avoid making similar mistakes in the next project."

Mansour laughed and changed the subject on his initiative, "Listening to Saleh, have you encountered a lot of difficulties from the Jews?"

Ronan smiled again, with a bitter smile, and said, "It's nothing, non-Jewish forces in Hollywood, cough..."

He deliberately looked at the two people behind Mansour.

Mansour understood what he meant, and said, "Don't worry, I promise with Al Nahyan's family reputation that our words will not be spread."

Ronan is not afraid of rumors.

He can find a lot of reasons to divert them as slander from the Arabs.

This was specially made for Mansour, so he can attract his attention.

"You should have heard that the Jewish power in Hollywood is very large."

Ronan turned his words to the mortal enemy of the Arabs, "There is even a tendency to vaguely control the entire Hollywood."

Frankly speaking, he doesn't care about any of these, but this is not the time for emotions and he needs their investment

Mansour nodded, "Hollywood is controlled by Jewish forces and has been discrediting Arabs."

Anyone who pays a little attention to Hollywood movies can see it.

Ronan's words are still true, "There are many people in Hollywood who do not like Jewish forces, but they are all suppressed and rejected by Jewish forces."

Think about Mel Gibson, a first-line superstar plus an Oscar winner for the best director, but how miserable did he become later?

Speaking of Jews, Mansour looked solemn, but he also knew that anti-Semitic forces in the United States had always existed.

The conflict between the Arab world and the Jews is extremely acute, and most of the UAE army is used to defend Israel.

"My father and I, as well as Sand Sea Entertainment, belong to the non-pro-Jewish forces in Hollywood."

Ronan's words are not mere rhetoric.

The Anderson family has almost no contact with Jews, "The Anderson family has no Jewish blood, and has always kept their distance from the Jews"

Ronan began to slowly add some of the verifiable truth, "From its establishment to the present,

Sand Sea Entertainment has only obtained a total of $2 million in loans from the investment capital of the film industry that is deeply influenced by the Jewish people, and all of them are asset mortgage loans!"

There was some dissatisfaction on his face: "My father was very capable but was limited by funds, and he couldn't expand Sand Sea Entertainment."

Old Anderson's conservativeness, from Ronan's mouth, completely changed,

"Many small companies founded at the same time as Sand Sea Entertainment have become medium-sized companies.

What about Sand Sea Entertainment?

Funding and distribution channels were all restricted.

Ten years later, it was still a small company and can only make videotapes and movies to maintain the daily expenditures."

"Where is your father?" Mansour asked.

Ronan's eyes reddened, "Died because of an accident."

Mansour said quickly, "Sorry."

"It's okay." Ronan continued to add: "My father told me a long time ago that he was going to make a big big-budget movie and wanted to make the Sand Sea Entertainment famous"

He seemed to be a super dutiful son and continued, "That's why I made "The Knight" on impulse, I just wanted to fulfill my father's wish."

Mansour said with relief, "You will succeed in the future"

Ronan said bitterly, "If Hollywood is not controlled by Jewish forces then Sand Sea Entertainment would not be in the current situation."

He once again added some truth, "I applied to the Hollywood Producers League for the subsidy of the Film and Television Industry Allowance and Health Plan.

Sand Sea Entertainment is a member of the Producers League and has to pay high membership fees every year.

This plan was originally used to fund companies and producers who encounter difficulties within the Alliance, but the voice of the Producer Alliance is in the hands of larger companies."

He continued with a small amount of an admixture,

"The top executives of large companies are basically Jewish.

Since the Sand Sea Entertainment and I refused to move closer to Jewish forces, we were rejected."

Mansour slowly nodded, and from Ronan's words, he thought of the problems in the Middle East, which are always caused by the Jews.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of intimacy by having the same enemy.

Ronan added, "The bank refuses to lend money, and the funding cannot be passed.

I can only raise funds to save myself.

No matter how difficult it is to raise funds, I will not sing praises for the Jews in the film.

"That's right." Mansour agreed, "When you encounter difficulties and bow your head to the Jews.

The Jews will only become more arrogant and domineering."

Ronan judged from Mansour's words and attitude that there was at least no fault in his words.

There is no way. The simplest way to win the favor of Arabs is to make a fuss about the Jews.

"Mr.Anderson, I personally appreciate your attitude towards Arab characters in the script."

Mansour changed the subject again, "Why not let Arabs be the protagonists?"
