Exploiting Hollywood 1980

It turned out that the war in the Middle East had started again. Iraq suddenly invaded its neighbor Kuwait. According to news reports, Iraq accused Kuwait of using "advanced technology" in the border area to steal oil from the border between the two countries. Because oil is a liquid, once Kuwait's advanced oil wells produce oil, the oil that originally belonged to Iraq will flow to Kuwait.

As for the real reason, the TV station only hinted that because of the protracted Iran-Iraq War, Iraq owed Kuwait a huge foreign debt...

"It is reported that Iraq's elite paratroopers airdropped into the Dasman Palace. The king, Emir Jaber Ahmed Jaber Al-Sabah, has safely traveled to neighboring Saudi Arabia.

The Kuwaiti Emir Guard, led by the king's younger brother, Prince Fahd Ahmed Jaber Al-Sabah, with the support of local police and chief tanks, successfully repelled the airborne assault of the Iraqi special forces. But after the landing of the Iraqi Marines (Dasman Palace is located on the coast), the palace was captured and Prince Fahd's whereabouts were unknown."

Ronald remembered the Saudi ambassador Prince Bandar who had just met, and quickly called him to ask about the situation. If a war breaks out in the Middle East, will the rich be afraid? Will they continue to invest in America? Can Palm Tree Cinemas accelerate its expansion?

"Sorry, Prince Bandar is in a meeting at the United Nations now. I will tell him that you called, Mr. Li."

The call was answered by Bandar's assistant. The United Nations was now meeting to discuss this emergency. Ronald felt that he was a little too anxious, and smiled and said, "Oh, that's good, as long as Prince Bandar is safe."

"Hello, Ronald?"

After a while, Ronald's home phone rang. He was not the most anxious one, and there were people who were more anxious than him.

"Hey, George, why are you calling me?" Ronald recognized that the voice was from George, the son of the commander-in-chief.

"Hey, aren't you calling Prince Bandar? Now the Emir of Kuwait has fled to Saudi Arabia. Now that there is such a mess there, we can ask them to come to America..."

George and Ronald thought of the same thing. He heard more reliable news in the inner circle of Washington, DC. Kuwait has a small territory. Although the Emir Guards bravely defeated the Iraqi airborne troops, the royal palace in Kuwait City was still lost as soon as the Marines landed.

During the period when the guards fought desperately, the Emir and many royal relatives fled from the palace. The Emir flew directly to Saudi Arabia for refuge, but it was not very safe. Who knew what the madman would do? Except for the Emir who had to wait in Saudi Arabia for the sake of the country, the other princes were trembling with fear and jumped on other planes to fly to America.

"Okay, I think so too. This time they can feel the kindness of the American people and understand that this is the safest place in the world."

...

Arrived

As soon as the plane arrived, a group of princes with black headbands and white headscarves came down one after another. Little George went up to greet them, and the translator next to him was Prince Bandar's assistant.

"This is the eldest prince of America, His Royal Highness Little George." The assistant's Arabic was simple and clear, which made the princes suddenly realize and salute Little George. The people in Kuwait who were in trouble needed the American Emir to preside over justice.

Everyone came to Ronald's manor, had some fine wine and delicious food, and immediately recovered their dandy nature and began to ask Ronald about Hollywood gossip.

Ronald was of course very happy and introduced them to one of the most reliable investment projects in America, the construction of a new multi-hall cinema. Michelle Cannold, director of Daydream, also used two large display boards to introduce them to the business model analysis of new multi-hall cinemas and traditional single-hall cinemas, which made these princes very satisfied.

However, among these people, only one prince seemed depressed. Compared with his cousins, he did not feel any relief for escaping danger and yearning for a happy life in America. There was only a desire for revenge in his eyes.

"Prince Ahmed," Ronald went up to chat with him. This prince is the most unfortunate among many royal relatives. He is the nephew of the Emir, and his father is the Emir's half-brother, named Fahd Ahmed Jaber Al-Sabah.

Prince Fahd is not an ordinary person. When he was young, he followed Arafat and served as the commander of the Kuwaiti battalion during the Six-Day War. He is now the chairman of the Olympic Council of Asia and was supposed to attend the opening ceremony of the new Asian Games next month.

After learning about the invasion of Kuwait, Prince Fahd personally led the Emir Guard to fight against the Iraqi airborne troops, buying time for the Emir and many royal family members to escape. It has now been confirmed that when the Iraqi Marines landed and attacked the palace, he was outnumbered and died heroically in the battle of the palace.

"Mr. Li, I am not unsociable, but my father sacrificed for our country. I only have the pain of losing my father and the determination to seek revenge in my heart." Prince Ahmed and Ronald are of similar age, and a natural intimacy made him confide his pain to Ronald.

"I wish I hadn't boarded the plane, but instead insisted on fighting with my partners in Kuwait..." Prince Ahmed, like his father, was an officer of the Kuwait Defense Force at a young age.

"Actually, it's the same no matter where you fight. Kuwait's territory has no depth, and it's undeclared and unethical by madmen. Temporary setbacks are normal. You have to take a longer-term view. The retreat now is also for the future advancement. … At this time, the most important thing is to win support internationally, and you can make important contributions on other fronts as well.”

Ronald doesn't understand war at all, but since Prince Ahmed fled to America, it shows that his courage is not as courageous as he said. Therefore, I advise him to seek support from the international community instead of going back to fight.

Besides, it is estimated that the last territory and the air force base will be occupied by Iraq tomorrow. Going back will be...

"Yes, yes, your wisdom has made me think about a lot of things. You have been my guide for the past two days.

Most of the princes, after a day's pause in Los Angeles, continue on to New York and Washington, D.C., where they look at more investments and see what can be done for their country.

Only Ahmed was inspired by Ronald and prepared to stay and wait for the commercial flight to Saudi Arabia to join his uncle and take on greater responsibilities.

At the same time, little George called. He had just gotten off the plane and already knew the latest news. After overnight discussions, the United Nations Security Council passed

As soon as Prince Ahmed heard the news, he immediately expressed his strong intention to go back to fight, and then babbled a lot in front of Ronald about how brave his father was and what kind of military training he had received. If we are solid, now is the time to serve the country.

Ronald was very excited by what he said and his body language was very expressive, but he didn't tell the servant to prepare for the flight. You will understand that Prince Ahmed is actually a strong-willed guy who cannot compare with his father's courage.

However, he is much better than his cousins. At least he still has the thoughts of caring about the country and the people and avenging his father.

"There are many ways to inherit my father's legacy... I regret to tell you, Prince, that Kuwait remained resistant in the end.

Ronald relayed the latest news from Little George to reassure Prince Ahmed. When he heard that Prince Fahd was not the chairman of the Olympic Council of Asia, he contacted Chaoli, a Chinese actor in Hollywood. Today Chaoli responded to him and said that the foreign affairs department there was very willing to invite Prince Fahd. My son, as a representative of the Olympic Council of Asia, attended the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

"This is really a very touching arrangement for me. I will go to the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. The venue for this Asian Games is exactly what my father tried his best to facilitate. I will let all my friends in the international world see that Kuwaitis are I won’t give in…”

"Prince Ahmed truly has the legacy of your father's courage. I'm so proud of you."

The next steps were all handled by the court, and Ronald received the friendship of a prince and the investment commitments of many Gulf tycoons.

The Iraqi madman really shocked the wealthy people in the Gulf. No matter what your bloodline and wealth are, they are worthless under the crushing force of T-72 tanks. The Emir of Kuwait, who had just established a government-in-exile in Riyadh, was frightened and wanted to continue running.

Look at how quickly the situation developed. After mediating with the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, the Western European countries, Japan, West Germany and other economically sound economies, the General Commander's team began the invasion.

"Oh oh oh oh!" Ordinary people in America, when there is a crisis in the world,

There are many American engineers working in the oil fields in the Middle East. Their relatives and colleagues are the happiest. This statement means that their personal safety will be guaranteed.

To the invasion

Fifteen thousand American soldiers, thirty-two destroyers, and fighter jets arrived in Saudi Arabia. Operation "Desert Shield" has been officially launched, and America will provide security guarantees for Saudi Arabia to resist potential Iraqi invasion.

The princes of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia moved quickly and transferred a lot of wealth to America through international banks. Their first two investment funds were to buy port terminal facilities and build more shopping malls with multiplex cinemas.

America's economy is strong. As an outsider, the safest investment is the construction of this kind of infrastructure.

Another smaller fund, also designated by Prince Ahmed, raised a lot of his cousin's private money and invited George Jr., who has rich Hollywood investment experience, to serve as a director and consultant to invest in Hollywood movies. Of course, George Jr.'s directorship is exercised through an anonymous limited liability company in Delaware.

of this fund

As soon as a hundred helicopters arrived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, many princes stopped fleeing and stayed firmly in Saudi Arabia, helping America renovate its military base and stockpile logistics supplies. Once America's friends arrived, the Iraqi madmen did not dare to attack Saudi Arabia. .

Soon, the United Nations Security Council had coordinated internally and passed

“I didn’t expect America’s international prestige to be so high?” On the weekend again, Ronald, Daydream and Paramount’s distribution department began to meet again to discuss.

The box office performance of "The Love of Ghosts" was as expected, and it returned to the rankings again

Moreover, copies in overseas markets also experienced a climax of additional subscriptions and new signings this week. Many countries in Eastern Europe and South Asia, which originally had small order volumes, have also begun to order excessive copies.

The reasons given by Paramount include that in addition to the exaggerated box office performance of "The Last Days" for four consecutive weeks, there is also the fact that the American cabinet under the leadership of the General made a quick and surprising response to the crisis in Kuwait. The effect of reassuring actions.

Many other countries, such as Britain, India, and European countries, also have a large number of engineers and service industry employees in Kuwait. They have become refugees this time, or were kidnapped as hostages by the Iraqi army.

In contrast, as soon as American troops were stationed in Saudi Arabia, the safety of American citizens was guaranteed.

In addition to director Ronald's "The Last Day", "Pretty Woman" and "Die Hard 2" are particularly popular. Audiences in the international market have a growing interest in America, so it is understandable that they want to watch Hollywood movies.

The two romance films have the lowest language barriers and are the most popular in this buying boom. There is also "Die Hard 2", which has a mediocre box office in the domestic market. Because of the plot of a lone hero killing terrorists single-handedly, it was also welcomed by film producers.

"Call Emil Adolino. This time I will give him an increase in the budget. He can shoot as much footage as he wants of the helicopter air combat."

Ronald saw a business opportunity. Now that the "Top Gun" video tape has begun to rise on the rental list, this helicopter version of "Top Gun" and "Firebird" will also be released to take advantage of the popularity.

Anyway, Prince Ahmed has a blood feud with Iraq, and he will definitely not give up and reconcile with Iraq. George Jr. said that this war is expected to be fierce, and now is the time to increase investment.

Even the madmen in Iraq cooperated with Ronald's idea and officially announced the annexation of Kuwait and made it a province of Iraq.

Now the war is really coming.

As long as America's aircraft carriers appear in conflict areas, Hollywood movies can be sold overseas...
