Chapter 180 Investment Games
"Several people, please here."
On the office floor where Shahai Entertainment is located, Ronan brought three Arabs in suits into an office and introduced: "This is Shahai Entertainment's script creation department."
Hassan was wearing a suit and was very stylish. He looked at the busy screenwriters at his desk and asked, "Is the movie script we invested in here?"
Hussein asked curiously: "Ronan, isn't the screenwriter you?"
Ronan said with a smile: "Hollywood has mature script writing patterns and processes. I provide creativity and settings, and then hand it over to the screenwriters below to write specific content."
Aziz, who also invested in "The God of Death", asked: "Will the plot be messed up with so many people writing it?"
Ronan briefly explained: "As long as the creation is closely linked to the main line, there will be no chaos. People who have invested in movies one after another, are also experts. I believe that Hollywood movies contain a lot of content."
Of course, these three people would not admit that they were laymen and nodded immediately.
"Everyone has limited energy, and the screenwriter is no exception. It is impossible to cover everything." Ronan said again: "Some people are good at writing emotional scenes, some are good at writing action scenes, and some are good at writing chase scenes. In this creative model, everyone only writes the plays they are best at, and gathers the strengths of everyone, and the script will be even better."
Hassan seemed to understand: "So that's it, no wonder Hollywood movies can spread all over the world."
What Ronan said is not very accurate. This assembly line processing method has benefits and disadvantages.
But at this time, for commercial films, the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
Continuing the success pattern is easier to achieve success.
Luo Nan invited three people to another office. Compared to the busy screenwriter department, it was a bit deserted and there were not many people.
"This is the production department of Shahai Entertainment." Ronan introduced: "This department is in charge of the entire company's filming business."
Aziz looked at the empty office and asked, "So few people?"
Ronan didn't care and said, "The department's employees will directly participate in the preparation, shooting and production of the film. Currently, Shahai Entertainment has many films filmed at the same time, including a large production with an investment of 50 million US dollars. They are basically on the set, and there are only a few left-behind personnel in the office."
"There is a $50 million production?" Hassan keenly captured the point.
Ronan smiled and said, "The movie is based on a champion best-selling novel, starring Oscar winner Matt Damon."
I don't know much about the rest, but when I heard about the Oscar winner, Hassan became even more concerned.
Actors who win Oscars are definitely not ordinary actors, they are all big stars.
Hussein was also very concerned and gently touched Hassan's sleeve, and Aziz also winked.
Hassan understood what his companion meant and asked tentatively: "Does this movie require investment?"
Ronan said: "The $50 million fund has been in place. After visiting Los Angeles last month, India's Mountain Foundation reached a cooperation agreement with Shahai Entertainment to invest $40 million in this project."
Even Indians are coming? Hassan's face is still moving, but his heart is ups and downs.
He has a friend at the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau and has heard that the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau no longer cooperates with Shahai Entertainment. This time he came to Los Angeles. On the one hand, he settled the last investment, and on the other hand, he took a look at Shahai Entertainment on the spot.
If they can benefit, they will consider reinvesting no matter what the investment bureau has.
Hassan has some doubts and is worried about problems with Shahai Entertainment.
If Indians invest in Shahai Entertainment's movies, Shahai Entertainment is normal, otherwise a $40 million investment...
"Three, please go here."
Ronan took the three of them back to the largest office in the middle. After coming to the reception room, Hassan saw many photo frames hanging on the wall of the reception room, most of which were movie posters and some were photos, including a photo of George Clint, who was from Shahai Entertainment, exchanging contracts with an Indian.
"Please sit down." Ronan asked: "Do you drink tea or coffee."
"Just clear water," Hassan said.
Ronan asked Eva at the front desk to bring three glasses of water.
"The company is conducting a final reconciliation with the bank, and the investment settlement of "The God of Death" can be carried out three days later." Ronan said with a smile: "We will settle the investment income next Monday."
Hussein asked anxiously: "How much is the profit this time?"
Ronan deliberately said: "The God of Death is not as high as the "Human Purge Plan", with a profit margin of 30%.
"Thirty percent is not low!" Hussein laughed embarrassedly.
Hassan winked at him and said, "Ronan, we have always been confident in you and your company's ability to operate movies. I believe this is another win-win result."
Ronan said: "I want to thank you for your strong support, too."
Aziz interrupted: "It's better to have the investment project you chose, Ronan."
He had heard of the movie Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau lost money, and this movie could make 30% profit, which is also a lot.
Hassan's heart moved and took the opportunity to ask: "I heard that "Ace Agent" failed? Didn't make a profit?"
"Yes, it's a business failure." Ronan said sadly: "But the value of this film lies more in addition to business. What I value more is its social influence."
Aziz said: "The movie is very good, but..."
He sighed and shook his head.
Hassan didn't pay attention to these things and asked, "Is it because of the failure of "Ace Agents" that the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau stopped working with you?"
Ronan said calmly: "Of course not." He was prepared and to be honest with the choice: "The Investment Bureau wants to buy my company, but the company is my father's hard work. It is impossible for me to sell the company that my father has been fighting for for a little money, so I rejected the Investment Bureau."
Hussein looked at Hassan and then looked at Ronan: Is this true?
Why did the promised investment movies suddenly become a buying company? The Investment Bureau is a subordinate agency of the royal family, but it is too domineering to do things?
Hassan was a little surprised: "The news has not spread? I haven't heard anyone say it in Abu Dhabi?"
Ronan smiled and said, "Prince Saleh, who is the representative of the Investment Bureau, comes to Los Angeles, and Prince Saleh also knows about this."
Hearing this, Hassan had less doubts and gradually felt relieved. The cooperation between the Investment Bureau and Shahai Film Industry broke down, which was obviously not because of Shahai Entertainment’s problem, but the relationship between the Investment Bureau itself.
This shows that there is no problem with Shahai Entertainment.
Just look for someone to inquire, it shouldn't be difficult.
Ronan said again: "The Investment Bureau will not cooperate with Shahai Entertainment, which will not affect our cooperation." He joked: "Several people should not acquire a Hollywood film company, right?"
"No, no." Hussein continued with a smile: "We are investing, what are we doing for acquiring a film company? We don't know how to make and manage films."
Hassan echoed: "Yeah, we're not interested in film companies."
After hearing what the two said, Ronan took the topic forward in time and asked, "Don't you still have the interest in investing in movies?"
Hussein and Aziz both looked at Hassan, obviously focusing on Hassan's opinions.
"Didn't Shahai Entertainment find an investment from India?" Hassan asked: "There is still a gap in funds?"
Ronan immediately realized that the other party might have an interest in investment and said, "It's not the project I mentioned, it's a horror movie with a budget of $25 million."
"Isn't it a big project?" Hussein seemed a little disappointed.
Luo Nan said with a smile: "This is the same as the two projects we worked on before. They are both horror films. The most successful and confident film in Shahai Entertainment is the horror film."
"Purge of Humanity" and "Reaper" are all horror movies.
Hassan and others were all thinking because it was a fact that success in investing in two horror film projects was right in front of us.
"We have worked together more than once, and we are partners who trust each other." Ronan's voice is not high: "The reason why the $50 million project was not notified is because it was an action agent film, which was once again trying this type. Unlike horror films, Shahai Entertainment has a successful operation mode and the risks can be minimized."
Hassan immediately thought that the failed "Ace Agent" was also an agent action movie.
"Let's think about it." Hassan did not make a decision immediately, and gave hints to Hussein and Aziz, so that they could rest assured: "I will reply to you as soon as possible."
Ronan said: "Hope is good news, I like working with old friends."
The official channels of the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau have been cut off, but if private investment channels can still be maintained, it is also a good thing.
In this way, Relativity Entertainment has three overseas investment channels, including India, Germany and the UAE. If you want to raise funds to shoot first-line productions in the future, you don’t have to worry too much about the source of funds.
Ronan asked someone to obtain some information about "The Deadly Bend" and handed it to three people.
Hassan and the other two said goodbye and left, and Ronan sent them out of the company.
Just after returning to the office, Mary and George Clint, who had been waiting for a long time, knocked on the door and came in.
"How is it?" George Clint asked.
Mary also looked at Ronan with concern, which account was used.
"I have an investment intention." Ronan said directly: "But I can't be sure. We will wait for them for three days. If they don't reply to me, we will adopt a plan."
"This kind of movie makes a loss..." George Clint was a little conscientious than Ronan.
Ronan said lightly: "This is Los Angeles, not Abu Dhabi!"
George Clint said, "I hope they will continue to work with us and can also alleviate our financial pressure. Your subsequent plans will cost a lot of money."
"I hope so too." Ronan whispered: "I give them 30% of the profit in Plan B, which means not letting their funds be out of control of Shahai Entertainment, and letting them look profitable in data and reports, but in fact they don't get much money. These funds will always be in our hands."
