Chapter 120： Warranty

This afternoon, Bob Cohen from Allianz Insurance Group Fireman Fund Insurance Company received the call and immediately came to Burbank and found Shahai Entertainment.

Ronan received the insurance business manager in the office.

Bob Cohen entered the office and greeted Ronan. He looked around first. The office layout is simple. The most striking thing is the movie posters hanging on the wall, including the already released "Human Removal Project" and "Blair Witch". ", and "Reaper is Coming" and "Ace Agent" which will be released within this year.

The success of the first two films is a typical example of Hollywood's success in the past two years.

The last two films are very familiar, and the insurance business of the crew is taken from the firefighter fund.

If the next two films are successful, Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment will definitely attract the attention of the entire Hollywood.

It is estimated that the Fireman Fund, which specializes in Hollywood insurance business, will also take it seriously.

Bob Cohen knows very well that as an insurance business manager, if he wants to continue to climb up the company and get more business commissions, he must have heavyweight customers under his hands.

"Mr. Anderson." Bob Cohen was quite polite: "Is something wrong with me?"

Ronan has been busy adding the details of the "Asan" plan yesterday afternoon. The Indian film industry is huge. In many important technical departments in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Indians can be seen everywhere, so we must not use hospitality. "Arab brothers" strategy to face "Asan friends."

Starting from yesterday, he asked Robert and George Clint to further collect detailed information on Indian Bollywood and private film investors, and asked Dinah Lawyer to inquire about the relevant legal provisions in India and find professional companies to go to India to understand the status of industrial investment. and many more.

To successfully raise funds, a lot of preparatory work is necessary.

Insurance is also part of it.

The Firefighter Fund is now the most used, recognized and well-known insurance company in Hollywood, and behind it is the huge multinational group Allianz Group.

"I have a new film project here that requires a third-party completion guarantee." Ronan said directly, "I want to cooperate with you."

Bob Cohen asked immediately: "Can you know what the project is?"

Ronan took out the original work of Robert Ludren's "The Identity of Byrne", handed it to Bob Cohen, and said, "I am going to adapt this novel into a movie."

Bob Cohen took it and glanced at the cover. He had heard of this novel and read it when he was in school. He only remembered the story of an agent, and basically forgot the specific content.

It is normal that he can't remember the book once or twice. He didn't care, and asked: "Have you decided on the script, the director, and the actors? Is there a relevant plan?"

Ronan has nothing except copyright. To be honest: "This project has just been put on the agenda, and the specific work has not yet started. I intend to raise funds for the production of funds. I need an insurance company as a third-party guarantee for the completion of the film. But I didn't really have it before. After running the film guarantee, I am not particularly familiar with many of them."

Bob Cohen knows that this is true. Whether it is Sand Sea Entertainment or the newly established Relativity Entertainment, they were all small companies before. It was only after the success of "Human Removal Project" and "Blair Witch" that they became famous.

"Mr. Anderson, the company has clear regulations on the Hollywood third-party guarantee business." Bob Cohen is just a small business manager: "Your company has not cooperated with us in this regard."

Ronan added, "I have already had two films, "Human Removal Project" and "Blair the Witch", which have been released successfully. The filming of "Death Is Coming" and "Ace Agent", which you participated in the insurance business, has ended, and the post-production is also At the closing stage, there is no problem with our ability to complete the shooting and production."

Bob Cohen smiled and said, "I feel at ease about your company."

The most basic function of the third-party guarantee is the completion guarantee, which guarantees the completion of all production of the film.

This is to provide a guarantee for the film crew, as well as a guarantee for the completion of the film to the investor. If the production company or the film crew has a problem, the insurance company acting as the third-party guarantee for the completion of the film shall bear the corresponding responsibility.

For example, the filming is overdue, the main actors suddenly withdraw, the funds exceed the budget, and so on. All these expenses must be paid by the insurance company.

In case of a major problem with the crew, such as the bankruptcy of the production company or the withdrawal of the director, the third-party guarantee company may even come forward to take over the project and find suitable personnel to complete the film.

Otherwise, huge sums of money will be paid.

Of course, the insurance premium as a third-party guarantee is not low. The charge for the completion guarantee of an ordinary movie is 2.5% of the budget, which is adjusted according to the budget and difficulty of the movie project.

The third-party completion guarantee for movies with dangerous features such as action movies is generally 4% of the budget.

"Can you know the budget for this project?" Bob Cohen asked concerned.

Ronan knows how to attract insurance companies, saying: "The budget cost will not be less than 50 million US dollars."

Bob Cohen's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This is a big deal!

For the entire Firefighter Fund, a film project with a budget of 50 million US dollars is nothing. The company has projects with a budget of more than 100 million US dollars in cooperation with the six major Hollywood projects. But for Bob, a small business manager, 5000 Ten thousand dollars has never been.

"Movie type?" Bob asked again.

Ronan needs a third-party guarantee for the completion of the film, so he is telling the truth: "Currently the most popular action film in North America."

Bob Cohen’s heart beat faster. The cost of guaranteeing the completion of action movies is generally 4% of the budget. A budget of $50 million is a $2 million policy.

Judging from several projects under Relativity Entertainment, this company is very reliable.

Bob Cohen made a quick decision: "Mr. Anderson, the company's review of the completion guarantee is strict." He smiled and said: "Of course, your company has a good reputation. The completion rate of the last two years is 100%. ..."

Ronan could see that Bob Cohen was tempted.

Bob Cohen emphasized a little bit and emphasized: "With your company's terms and my assistance, the chances of passing the completion guarantee review are very high."

Ronan laughed and asked, "What do I need to prepare?"

Bob Cohen attached great importance to this business, thought about it, and said: "I will go back and make a plan, plan the process and the required materials, and bring it over tomorrow."

"Yes." Ronan agreed: "I will wait for you here tomorrow morning."

If "Bourne's Identity" can win the firefighter's fund as a guarantee for the completion of the film, even if the "Asan Project" is unsuccessful, you can still find investment elsewhere.

Sending off Bob Cohen, Ronan looked up the information about Indian movies and investment that he had collected before, and looked at it seriously.

Indians also hope to break into Hollywood. After the economy develops to a certain level, it often requires international recognition. Of course, the most attractive place for commercial films to attract investment is Hollywood.

Ronan had some impressions. After the economic development of India in his previous life, like the other side of the Pacific, he attacked all over the world and participated in investment or purchase of internationally renowned brands.

Take the British Land Rover, for example, after the acquisition by Tata Group, many people called it an Indian car.

This is of course derogatory rather than praise.

The cooperation between Indians and Hollywood, Ronan remembers most clearly is the Indian capital investment in DreamWorks films.

However, in terms of time, it was years later.

From what we know now, the Indians are still in the wait-and-see stage, and DreamWorks does not seem to want Indian funds to rashly participate in the investment of its major production films.

There was a knock on the door, Ronan said please come in, the company front desk Eva opened the door and said: "Mr. Anderson, there is a Miss Carmen-Cass looking for you, she said it is your friend."

"Carmen?"

As soon as Ronan stood up, Carmen Case waved to him from behind the female receptionist.

"Come in." Ronan greeted.

The female receptionist hurriedly left, closed the front of the office, and took a special look at Carmen Cass. This woman has long straight hair and a cape, a small but delicate face, excellent proportions, slender limbs and outstanding temperament...

Look at yourself again? Forget it, the gap is too big Ronan took a new cup, took a glass of water to Carmen Case, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Carmen Case looked at the book on the desk curiously and said: "I attended an activity in the morning, and I had nothing to do in the afternoon and evening. Come and see you."

She pointed to the book: "Are you studying business management?"

Ronan pulled out his chair and sat down, and said, "I'll take the time to watch. I can manage a dozen or twenty people. It's a bit difficult to manage two companies now."

Carmen Case knows business operations well and said: "You can hire a professional manager."

"I had this idea a long time ago." Ronan smiled: "There has been no suitable candidate."

The professional manager system is very common in North America. Ronan has also considered this aspect. First, he can't find a suitable candidate for a short time, and second, he also needs to participate in actual work to improve his ability.

Now he can bear the pressure of Embassy Pictures and Shahai Entertainment.

Carmen Case glanced at Ronan: "I won't interrupt your work, am I?"

Ronan shook his head: "No."

Carmen Case picked up the book: "I see it, you are busy with you, don't worry about me."

Ronan responded and stopped talking. He picked up the previous information and read it again. During the period, he observed Carmen Case several times. Carmen Case had been reading the book on business management very seriously.

Soon it was close to get off work time. Ronan saw Carmen Case put down his book, and simply cleared his desk, and said, "Let's go."

Carmen Case looked at him and asked, "Where?"

Ronan took her hand and asked, "Go to my house?"

"Okay." Carmen Case followed him away.

That night, the golden God of War was riddled with holes by the Eternal Spear.
