Minahan's eyes lit up. He didn't know what kind of magic Ronald had cast on Konchalovsky, but he was actually willing to consider directing a commercial film. His plans as a famous director were very promising.

"Andre, I can guarantee that if you are willing to direct, I can fully support it. In addition to the budget of 10 million US dollars, I can also not interfere with your shooting."

"Really?" Konchalovsky has been rejected many times. Ronald's words just now made him determined to prove himself with a commercial film first.

"To be honest, you are the most courageous Hollywood producer I have ever seen. Even when you were there, the Secretary-General of the National Film Commission never supported a director's creation like this."

"Quack..." Minahan was very happy to be flattered by the seemingly honest Russian guy. He immediately decided to start a discussion with him about filming "Runaway Train".

The filming scene of the snow train that Ronald feared was not that difficult in Konchalovsky's opinion. There are often several meters of snow in the Soviet Union, but the director there did not shoot it the same way.

"Ronald, you have to help me. This is my first time directing a commercial film like this in Hollywood. Regarding casting, I'm afraid I need to hear your opinion. What kind of actors do American audiences like to tell this story?"

Story, I need your input."

Konchalovsky, who had reached a preliminary understanding with Minahan, also recognized Ronald's status with Minahan and wanted to bring him along.

"It seems that you are learning quickly. Hollywood is actually very cruel. If your movie is not a hit, it will be difficult for a producer to invest in you next time. Even Minahan, his tolerance for artists is based on being able to bring him success.

Consider coming more business.”

Ronald also admires Konchalovsky, a veteran, for his ability to quickly adapt to the Hollywood system.

"I understand, and that's why I hope you can help me. I still have a lot to learn about Hollywood's commercial film model."

…

"Ronald, you have to help me, help me keep an eye on Konchalovsky." Minahan then also found Ronald. I really can't understand the true level of a director like Andre. How about you? Can you help me check out his specific filming? And you have to help me with the casting. I'm worried that he will choose some actors that the audience won't like."

"If that's the case, you can also be the producer yourself?"

"Hey, you know me. In fact, I invest in famous directors in order to improve the company's quality. In the overseas market, when others hear that I can hire big-name directors, we will become a big company in Hollywood.

If we, Cannon, want to hire a director with status, we can only compromise on art and let them shoot according to their own ideas. If I serve as the producer, it is obvious that I don't trust him. You are the director and you can speak better than me. better."

"Okay." Since both parties were interested, Ronald decided to do them a favor. He attended two casting meetings before the filming started, and then went to visit the cast after the filming started. In fact, both parties had unnecessary worries, but who let Ronald Is Nader someone they all trust?

"Okay, I'll add your name to the list of producers."

"Okay, let me take a vacation now. I have been very busy in the past year."

Ronald, who was still on vacation, suddenly received a good news call from his agent Niceta this morning.
