The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 65: Let Shahai have nowhere to go

   "Mr. Minister, the "Ace Agent" you gave me is a typical commercial script."

In the conference room, Fontaine first looked at Mansour and Saleh sitting in front of him, then looked at the Hollywood producer Ronan Anderson on the opposite side, his fundraising competitor, and said: “When the movie is completely treated as one When growing a commodity, the movie is given a series of defects of the commodity, such as streamlined production, such as popularization, such as superficiality."

   He strengthened his tone, with a hint of disdain in the French accent: "This is the biggest feature of Hollywood movies, and it is also a well-known flaw!"

   Ronan calmly entered this conference room and listened to Mansour talking about asking him and the French director to express their views on each other's script, and he roughly understood why the French director Fontaine had to say those things before.

   The other party identified him as a competitor and treated the meeting as a battlefield.

Ronan shook his head secretly. This man looks like an Arab, but he doesn't understand Chief Mansour at all. Lenovo Mansour said when he gave him the script. This investment bureau chief probably wanted two The script provided by the person is more complete, so that the filming and production will have a better effect.

   Chief Mansur has a good idea, but unfortunately he is a person outside the movie circle after all.

   Of course, this is just his guess. Who knows the true thoughts of Chief Mansour, let's look at the situation first.

Seeing Ronan’s silence, Fontaine was even more energetic: “It’s not difficult to see the film’s production philosophy from the script of "Ace Agent". The problems in life are simple and stylized, completely ignoring the independent history and culture of a country. This tendency seriously damages the value of the film."

   Mansour's face was as usual, as if he was thinking about what Fontaine said.

   Saleh was a little surprised. He didn't know that such a situation happened in today's meeting. He couldn't help looking at Ronan and found Ronan sitting there calmly, as if he didn't mean to retort.

   He glanced at his brother again, and couldn't see the other person's true thoughts.

   Ronan is so calm, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority is very rich, and it is easy to invest in two projects at the same time.

   If the French director only criticized the "Ace Agent" script for serious commercialization, he would not care. This is a fact.

  Fang Dan looked around at the seven or eight people in the conference room. No one refuted. The confidence from the art capital instantly filled his heart.

   "When a film is aimed at a global audience, it must dig deeper into the real value of the film! It must have a sense of history, philosophical thinking, and humanistic thinking, and encourage the audience to think!

   These words echoed in the conference room, and they sounded reasonable.

   Ronan couldn't help but nodded slightly. The French director's theoretical level is quite high, and these words are very reasonable. Even if he is asked to refute, he can't say anything for a while.

   From the perspective of film art, almost everything the other party said is the truth.

   If you use the movie as a commodity to refute it, it will definitely leave people with the impression of vulgarity, cheapness, and even profiteering.

   This is contrary to his conscientious and lofty compulsion in Abu Dhabi.

   I hope the French director is more sober and don't get confused. The two projects don't seem to conflict.

   Fontaine would not think so. In his opinion, his Arab brothers are so rich, and Mansour also expressed his appreciation for him. Why has the investment been so delayed?

   France is the birthplace of film and the country of noble film art, but it is suppressed by Hollywood movies in all directions. These art directors have always made it their responsibility to resist the invasion of Hollywood movies.

   This kind of confrontational thought has also seriously affected his judgment.

   "Director Fontaine." Mansour saw Fontaine suddenly shut up and said, "Please continue."

   The other party's words do sound very reasonable.

Hearing this, Fontaine was greatly encouraged and said loudly: "The Ace Agent does not possess any ideological and artistic qualities. When such a movie is produced, there is only one goal and result-commercial benefits! It may bring monetary benefits , But Minister, are we short of money?"

He put himself in the Arab camp: "I also have Arab blood, and I am also a member of Arab brothers. Therefore, I have an obligation to remind you that the "Ace Agent" project can bring anything besides money. Can it bring honor? Can people see the cultural achievements of Arabs? Can the artistic value of Arabs be realized? Can you seriously discuss the chaotic and complicated problems in life?"

   Ronan looked at the French director, his peaceful eyes gradually became sharper.

   What does the other party want to do? These words are very confusing.

   Fontaine yelled: "No! He can't bring us Arabs anything except money! Such movies have no value to us Arabs!"

   Mansour's complexion changed, his eyes were a little gloomy, as if he was thinking about Fontan's words.

   Robert couldn't help but want to stand up to refute. Ronan pulled him slightly, reminding him to calm down with his eyes. At this time, it would be no good to refute casually.

   Saleh frequently looked at Ronan's side. He had never been in contact with the Frenchman, and he always turned to Ronan's side.

   Among the people he has contact with a bit of weight in Hollywood, there is no one like Ronan who treats the Arab world fairly.

   What the French director Fontaine said is not easy to refute.

   Ronan knew this. The French director came prepared, and seemed to want to follow the path that Shahai Entertainment has taken, leaving Shahai Entertainment with nowhere to go in Abu Dhabi.

  Obviously, he can coexist, but he has to cheat "Ace Agent" because he is from Paris, the art capital, and Shahai Entertainment belongs to Hollywood?

   Ronan knows that European directors generally do not want to see Hollywood commercial films and related practitioners.

   With mental arithmetic and unintentional, this incident somewhat caught him off guard.

   Ronan has been thinking, where is the counterattack?

  Since I don’t want to coexist, it’s better to get out of the game. After all, this plan is of great importance. It not only involves the production of "Death Is Coming", but is also closely related to the publishing company he plans for next.

  From the perspective of the owner of a commercial company~www.wuxiaspot.com~ People who have moved their fundamental interests are definitely the enemy.

   Fontaine looked around the conference room again, determined that he had gained a certain advantage, and said: "The benefits that commercial films can bring are all superficial and are based on money. These are exactly what we lack!"

   How many people dare to say that the Investment Bureau, which represents the funds of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, is short of money? Will definitely be killed by money.

"In contrast to my project." Fontaine talked a lot, and finally contacted his own film: "A film that deeply reflects the Arab society and the reality of Abu Dhabi. Such a film can let the whole world see Abu Dhabi's The true face will enable people to truly understand the social and humanistic reality of Abu Dhabi."

  Mansour nodded slightly. Arab countries always feel mysterious. If you want to become a country with world influence, you must first eliminate the so-called mystery.

   Hearing what the French director said, Ronan suddenly had an idea.

   Fontaine continued: "Regarding the future of this film, I will take it to participate in the competition of the Cannes Film Festival, and strive to win an award and attract the attention of the world! At that time, the honor will belong to all the Arab brothers!"

   Cannes Film Festival? Ronan suddenly laughed, and his thoughts were instantly clear.

  Mansour was very satisfied with what Fontaine said, and nodded slightly, the honor of the three major film festivals...

   Ronan finally said: "Mr. Minister, Director Fang Dan, I have a few questions."

   If Mansour opens his mouth to announce his investment in Fangdan’s project, even if "Ace Agent" is not 100% out of the game, it may be affected later.

   Say it again, the other side repeatedly reminded Mansour not to invest in "Ace Agent" in his words. Is it really muddy when he sits here?
