Chapter 6 - A Good Show

After drinking a glass of champagne, Robert was surprised to find that Ronan was having a good chat with the Arab talking and laughing,

And it seemed to be a very pleasant conversation.

"It seems that I underestimated Ronan," He thought.

Then, he saw Ronan leaving the banquet hall with the Arab.

Robert stared at the entrance of the banquet hall with an interest and muttered, "Ronan has grown up."

Maybe this time they can get an investment from the Arabs.

In the quiet corner of the lounge in the hotel lobby,

Saleh asked for two glasses of water and put one in front of Ronan, and asked,

"You owe a bank loan and you offended the Jews.

The probability of getting a loan is very low."

Ronan's words were easily verifiable, but he also added a lot of dissatisfaction with the Jews so that he can have a common topic with the Arab

Jews are very powerful in Hollywood, but there are also many people in Hollywood who don't like Jews, but these people don't like Arabs either.

"I am going to give up looking for investment in North America." Ronan was very frank,

"There is a broader world overseas, and Germans have always liked cooperating with Hollywood."

He hammered the table lightly and continued, "When the new project launch conference is finished next week, I will go to Germany to find investment."

"Good luck."

Saleh raised the cup and asked curiously, "Are you going to have a press conference?

What is the new movie about? Is it convenient to say?"

Ronan groaned a little, and said, "Well...I can't tell you too much."

He laughed and said, "I wrote the script, and the key role is Arabs."

Saleh tentatively asked, "Is it a villain character?"

"No!" Ronan shook his head and continued, "The character setting is probably like this..."

He briefly talked about the Arab family as the main supporting role.

"It seems to be different from the Arab characters in traditional Hollywood movies," Saleh was very much interested

Ronan said directly, "In fact, the point I want to express is very simple.

Americans are good and bad, black people are good and bad, Jews are good and bad, and Arabs are also good and bad,"

"Yes! That is perfectly accurate!" Saleh first agreed, and then asked,

"Why doesn't Hollywood understand such a simple truth?"

Ronan shook his head,

"It is not that they don't understand, it is just that they turn a blind eye towards it"

He turned his head quickly, thinking for a while, and said, "So, there needs to be such a movie to wake up the audience.

Just like the black movement back then, as long as a small gap can be opened,

There is a chance to reverse the inherent cognition of many people"

He spread his hands and said, "Aren't people in the world all the same?

There are both good people and bad people."

Saleh was even more curious about this film and asked, "You want to hold a press conference right? Can I go and see it?"

This is also his current job. He is very ambitious, otherwise, he would have not come to Los Angeles at all.

He could have just gone back to Abu Dhabi to eat and die lavishly.

"Of course," Ronan said the time and place and welcomed him

He has been thinking about how to invite Saleh to the press conference.

It was even better now that Saleh has taken the initiative.

On this point about Hollywood smearing Arabs, the two had enough topics in common and talked for nearly an hour.

Ronan never mentioned that he was planning to find Arab investments, and Saleh never said his identity and work.

However, under Ronan's unobtrusive guidance, the two talked very happily and chatted very speculatively.

When leaving, Saleh specifically asked for his mobile phone number and told Ronan to keep a seat for him at the press conference.

Getting into Robert's car, Ronan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his face vigorously.

Fortunately, he was a social elite in his previous life and knows how to mingle easily.

"Was it all right?" Robert asked.

Ronan nodded: "It's okay I think"

In the next few days, he was very busy, reviewing the sub-shots and posters produced by the hired team,

Formulating the framework of the shooting plan,

Finalizing the gifts for the press conference, personally calling the media reporters,

And going to the Producer Union to report about the "Human Removal Project",

Preparing the speeches at press conferences, looking for lawyers to make and modify financing contract templates, etc.

He even, went to the Directors Union to issue job postings and also posted job advertisements for behind-the-scenes personnel through the media.

If he wants to use this project to get money, all the preliminary work must be done properly.

During this time, Saleh also met him several times, and the two had a very happy conversation.

Saleh has no friends in Los Angeles, and his cultural and entertainment investment investigations are very difficult.

Under Ronan's intentional targeting, the friendship quickly warmed up, and even Saleh wanted to see the specific script.

After Ronan repeatedly urged him not to spread the script, he sent Saleh an electronic version of the script.

After reading it, Saleh made a special phone call to Ronan, almost saying that Ronan was an old friend of the UAE.

On the first Wednesday of February, due to temporary delays, when Saleh came to the newsroom of the Hilton Hotel, the hall was already full of reporters.

He first went to say hello to Ronan, without too much interruption, received a set of promotional materials, and found a place to sit down.

There were a lot of reporters in the lobby.

Saleh counted the number of reporters specifically.

There were nearly 100 reporters with name tags, and there were more than a dozen photographers with cameras in their hands.

Not far away, there was also a reporter from the Los Angeles Times.

It seems that this project has a great influence on the media.

Saleh has not been idle these days and has collected some information about Ronan Anderson and Sand Sea Entertainment.

Sand Sea Entertainment is not large in scale, but it was an old company that has been established for more than ten years.

Ronan Anderson was indeed facing financial difficulties, and financial institutions that were in close ties with Jews did not give him loans at all.

The only two loans that Sand Sea Entertainment had in the past were all mortgage loans with only 70% of the physical value with extremely strict conditions.

Frankly speaking, he hopes that this project will have a broad impact.

After reading the script, the scene in which Arabs became American saviors was very much refreshing.

Opening the promotional materials in his hand, Saleh took a serious look.

Whether it was a poster or a drawing, it was quite elaborate.

Although there are not many scene drawings, the comprehensive design shows Sand Sea Entertainment's investment and determination in this project.

Unlike the talkative Leonardo, Ronan Anderson is a hard worker.

"In this press conference, we have invested nearly 20,000 US dollars."

In the lounge at the back of the press room, Mary watched Roger straighten his clothes and said, "Isn't it a little bit too much just to show that Arab?"

Ronan raised his fingers and shook, "This scene is not for specific someone, but for everyone."

In case the Arabs can't get through with the investment, he is still going to fool other countries, anyway, the identity of the savior can be changed accordingly.

Robert Lee came over at this time and said,

"Saleh's main job in Los Angeles is to investigate the feasibility of investment in the cultural and entertainment industry.

If he can take the initiative to support us, our work will be easier."

There was a knock on the door, and George Clint pushed in and reminded, "It's almost time."

Ronan nodded slightly, put on his plain glasses, and said, "Let's start our show"

The reporters in the news hall suddenly quieted down, and Saleh saw Ronan step onto the stage and started to collect the materials.

All of these have strong investigation value.

Ronan on the stage began to speak, and the surrounding reporters were taking serious notes.

After reading the script, Saleh could hear that Ronan was introducing some basic information about the project.

Because he had already read the script, the press conference was a bit boring.

He didn't cheer up until Ronan started to announce the investment amount of the project.

"Sand Sea Entertainment will turn "Human Removal Project" into a mid-scale action thriller film with an initial budget of 10 million US dollars!

As for the director, we are still looking for suitable candidates,

and for the actors, we have already invited Jamie Lee Curtis and Drew -Barrymore, Johnny Depp, and George Clooney for an audition..."

Saleh has heard of all these people.

Jamie Lee Curtis played the lead role in "True Lies";

Drew Barrymore was a famous child star;

Johnny Depp seemed to have played the Scissorhands in "Edward Scissorhands"

George Clooney was a little stranger, he vaguely remembers him acting as a doctor.

He doesn't know much about Hollywood, but he must also be a star for him to remember this name.

Ronan is planning to make a big move.

No wonder he needs financing.

10 million dollars, even he can't get it out immediately

The reporter's question session began.

A reporter specifically asked about funding, "Mr. Anderson, your company suffered a serious loss in the last movie. Do you still have funds?"

"There are indeed difficulties." Ronan's words reached Saleh, "We are facing a certain funding gap, but I am confident that it can be solved through financing."

$10 million is his choice after careful consideration, which was higher than the movie budget in the previous Life, but not much higher.

Saleh frowned slightly and began to think, and he didn't even listen to the following questions.

You can't make a movie without money.

Such a project that tends to Arabs will inevitably die without money.

Thinking of the Arab anti-killing and salvation in the script, Saleh felt that this movie was their best shot.

He has been in Los Angeles for nearly three months and has not made any results.

He was responsible for investigating the cultural and entertainment industry.

Because of the rejection of the Jewish men in Hollywood, no progress has been made so far.

Maybe this can be used as his breakthrough?

Since he chooses to do something, he must make some achievements for people to see,

Otherwise, what is the difference between him and those guys in Abu Dhabi who eat and wait to die?

Regrettably, there is no money in hand and no decision-making power for such a large sum of money.

Saleh is just responsible for investigating, not deciding on an investment.

Hollywood movies have a wide range of influences, and when it comes to the image of Arabs, he dares not make a hasty decision.

The press conference was over and the reporters left quickly.

Saleh found Ronan and decided to have a good talk with this guy whom he liked very much.
