Chapter 169: Dazzling Wife and Crazy Demon

"There is always a first come, first served! Tony Koch, you are so unruly!"

As soon as he got closer, Ronan heard someone accusing Tony: "Constantine Films is discussing cooperation with Samuel Hadidah and Paul Anderson, are you trying to steal customers from Constantine Films?" ?”

The man spoke German, and Priyanka Chopra couldn't understand. He leaned into Ronan's ear and whispered, "What is he talking about? Seems to be blaming your friend?"

Because the old Mrs. Anderson is of German origin, Ronan can basically understand German, but he didn't explain it to Priyanka Chopra.

He knows the person who accused Tony Koch, the dwarf Rahm whom he visited when he came to Germany last year. I remember that the other party was from TMG at that time. How did he transfer to Constantine Films now? Did he quit?

Tony Koch saw Ronan, didn't say hello, and said to Ram: "Have you signed a contract with Constantine Films? No, equal opportunities."

Ram sneered and looked at the two people beside him.

The two were facing Ronan sideways. Ronan didn't pay much attention before, but now he took a closer look. They were a long-haired man in his thirties and a man wearing glasses in his fifties.

The latter was an unfamiliar face, while the former seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Ronando glanced at the man, feeling more and more familiar, and subconsciously searched in his memory.

"Mr. Anderson, Mr. Hadidah." Lahm has been in charge of contacting the two since he switched to Constantine Films last year: "The CEO of the company, Mr. Bernard Eisinger, attaches great importance to this cooperation. We are also preparing to raise the largest investment ever made by Constantine Films."

The long-haired man and the man wearing glasses looked at each other, obviously satisfied with Constantine Films' emphasis on it.

After all, this is Germany, and almost no film company can easily open a budget of more than tens of millions of dollars.

Although Ram was very angry, his mind remained calm: "You two, Koch Films is a shell film company that was established only last year!"

He emphasized the "empty shell" and said: "Its main business is to assist foreign film companies to obtain tax rebates for films in Germany. They have no experience in film production. Even the film tax rebate business has only been done once!"

hear this,

The man wearing glasses immediately asked: "Mr. Koch, is that so?"

Tony Koch couldn't deny it and could only say, "Yes."

Ram immediately answered, "Cooperating with such a film company will not help you two. What you need is an experienced and capable film company..."

Tony Koch had no choice but to look towards Ronan.

He has been in contact with these two people before, but he has not said that he wants to cooperate for a long time. The most important thing is that he lacks confidence. He directly approached them tonight, even ignoring the people from Constantine Films, because there is strong support behind them.

The others also looked at Ronan at this moment.

The long-haired man and the man with glasses saw that they were unfamiliar faces, and they all swept away, and their eyes fell on Priyanka Chopra.

A woman with a beautiful face and a sexy and hot body.

This strange man is so happy!

Ram also saw Ronan, and felt vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but his eyes turned to Priyanka Chopra unconsciously.

Beautiful women always attract men's attention.

Priyanka Chopra raised her chin subconsciously, seeing the eyes turned to this side, she suddenly felt that such a high-end occasion was nothing special.

Ronan patted Priyanka Chopra's hand lightly. Priyanka Chopra was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and quickly let go of the hand holding Ronan's arm.

"Tony." Ronan took two steps forward, walked into the small circle, and said, "Are these your friends? Why don't you introduce them?"

Who is this man? Ram frowned, with a carefree look, seemed to be a vulgar Yankee?

Seeing Ronan, Tony Koch inexplicably gained confidence, and first introduced the man wearing glasses: "This is Samuel Hadida, a producer from Morocco."

Ronan shook hands with him and said hello. Morocco's film industry is not well-developed, but it is an important overseas filming location for Hollywood, and there is the famous Mollywood.

There are quite a few filmmakers from Morocco who are famous in Europe and even in Hollywood.

Tony Koch then introduced the young man with long hair: "This is Paul Anderson, a director from England."

Ronan also shook hands and said hello. He felt familiar at first, but after hearing Tony Koch's introduction, the memory hidden in some corner of his brain was also awakened, and he finally remembered who this person was.

In the previous life, there were two famous Paul Anderson directors, one was an American literary film director, and the other was a British commercial film director.

What can impress him, of course, is the latter.

This Paul Anderson is undoubtedly the showy wife madman!

Speaking of which, there are two directors of the Dazzling Wife and Demon type in Hollywood, and the other seems to be still working as an assistant for Roland Emmerich.

"Director Anderson." Ronan said sharply, "I have seen "The King of Fighters" directed by you. It is a very good movie."

Thinking of who Paul Anderson was, he naturally knew what Tony Koch was talking about.

It's nothing more than the My Wife Fights Zombie series.

Tony Koch did not introduce Ram, Ronan took the initiative to shake hands with Ram: "Hi, Mr. Ram, we meet again."

"Hello." Ram really couldn't remember who it was, and continued the topic just now: "Mr. Hadida, director Anderson, there is no need for the two of you to waste time on a shell company like Koch Films, Constance Ding is the strongest in the German film industry."

Ronan waited for him to finish before saying politely, "I'm Ronan Anderson. It's a pleasure meeting you."

Paul Anderson remembers hearing the name: "Ronan Anderson from Sandsea Entertainment?"

Ronan nodded slightly, and then said to Ram: "Koch Films is indeed a shell company, but Tony is just connecting me. The one who really wants to cooperate with Director Anderson and Mr. Hadidah is me and my movie. company."

He looked at Paul Anderson and Samuel Hadidah, and said, "You two, Sandsea Entertainment is very interested in the project you have in hand."

"Sandsea Entertainment?" asked Samuel Hadidah. "Shooting Sandsea Entertainment, which produced The Purge and The Grim Reaper."

Ronan smiled: "Exactly."

Ram's face changed instantly, and he said, "Constantine Films has raised 10 million US dollars in investment for the two of you!"

Ronan seemed not to have heard his words, and asked, "I want to confirm again, is the project in your hands a film adaptation of the game "Resident Evil" by Capcom, Japan?"

Samuel Hadidah said: "Yes."

Ronan played a trick on Tony Koch. The two cooperated as early as last year's Sun Denis Film Festival, and there is a certain tacit understanding.

Tony Koch said lightly: "We have prepared 20 million US dollars in funds!"

Ronan went on to say: "As far as I know, Constantine Films can only distribute films in Germany. If they go out of Germany, they need to find another company to distribute them. However, my company integrates production and distribution, and can not only distribute films in North America. Distributing the film can also be distributed in most regions outside of North America, and the two of you, working with me and Tony, don't have to worry about the distribution of the film after it is produced."

This is a typical commercial project. It must be filmed and screened in theaters. Paul Anderson and Samuel Hadida would never want to see the film pressed in their hands.

This time it was Ram's turn to have nothing to say.

Ronan continued: "Sandsea Entertainment is a Hollywood company, and North America is the largest film market today. Director Anderson, you have worked with Hollywood on "The King of Fighters", and you must know the exclusivity of the North American market. A film adapted from a Japanese game Will German films from North America be rejected in North America? This is directly related to the future development of the two."

He spread out his hands and said, "If you cooperate with Shahai Entertainment, you will not have any difficulties in this regard."

Paul Anderson looked at Samuel Hadida, and Samuel Hadida said: "I got the game copyright of "Resident Evil" as early as 1997, and I have been looking for investment. The game is adapted into a movie..."

Having said that, he let out a long sigh.

Ronan understood what he meant, and the game-adapted movie was really difficult to describe.

There are too few successful examples of this type. In most cases, whoever touches the other will be the end. Even the games with such a broad foundation as Shankoushan, the movies adapted from them all hit the street, let the glass slag be chopped off directly, even at the expense of auctioning props. Eat the phase, recover the cost as much as possible.

"Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" can be regarded as successful examples of video game adaptations.

As early as more than a year ago, Ronan paid attention to these two projects. As Samuel Hadida said, Capcom sold the film rights of "Resident Evil" as early as 1997, and "Resident Evil" The film rights to Tomb Raider were also sold in 1998.

Ronan didn't expect to encounter the "Resident Evil" project in Germany.

If you encounter it, of course you can't let it go easily. Although this series has been criticized in the end, the benefits are real. As for word of mouth or something, just look at it.

"We looked for many companies to seek cooperation, but we have not been able to get funds." Samuel Hadidah is still saying: "Finally came to Germany."

Paul Anderson said: "Too many people are not optimistic about game adaptation movies."

Ronan said: "I believe in the ability of director Anderson. "The King of Fighters" is a very successful game adaptation movie."

Ram looked at Ronan, then at Samuel Hadidah, and found that there was nothing to say.

Ronan invited: "Mr. Hadidah, Director Anderson, this is not the place to talk, why don't we talk in another place?"

"Wait..." Ram wanted to stop.

Paul Anderson and Samuel Hadida didn't seem to hear him, and quickly agreed, saying, "Let's talk somewhere else, it's a bit of a mess."

Ronan made a gesture of invitation.

Tony Koch took one look at Rahm before leaving and said, "You're ignoring the appeal of Hollywood."
