Dewey gushed about its performance: "The BMW X5 has reached an unprecedented level of four-wheel drive in terms of technical equipment and performance, it has excellent handling sensitivity and handling stability, and adopts a series of innovative technologies, including four-wheel braking, automatic stability and traction control and automatic dynamic stability control, etc., whether on the road or on rough trails, it can output strong power, show excellent performance, even on soft roads, it can accelerate and brake with agility and ease." ”

"I love the excellent off-road performance," Mark said. ”

Dewey said: "Relative to off-road, safety is his characteristic, it will be BMW's emphasis on safety performance vividly reflected, compared with other vehicles with off-road performance, BMW X5 adopts the overall body, coupled with BMW's famous comprehensive road safety technology, it provides incomparable protection for occupants and the vehicle hit in a crash, it takes a unique 10 airbag scheme, the front row is installed frontally, Side and head airbags, with side and head airbags installed in the rear, are in no way inferior to BMW's large luxury motorhome in terms of passive safety. ”

Mark asked, "Is there a better price deal?"

Dewey said: "120,000 US dollars is a very fair price, we can send a full set of leather chairs, film, and pick up the car directly, you are David's son, we will give you the best price." ”

David smiled and watched Mark bargain with Dewey, and did not interject, these hundreds of thousands are not a heavy burden to David and Mark, and it will not be rude to drive out, Mark is a pragmatic person, mature in thought, and is not addicted to sports cars like other young people, but chooses a practical and restrained, safe SUV with good performance, which makes him happy.

Only Megan, the eldest lady, has always disagreed with this, and she always thinks that only supercars can support the façade of MM Pictures.

Mark was beaming, he discussed with Blake, chose the black shape, Mark with two keys, one of which was given to Blake, she also took the driver's license, but the license has not been issued yet, and the payment will be made immediately after signing the contract, and the car will belong to them.

Mark happily drove Blake to school with a BMW, kissed goodbye and came to MM Pictures, they were meeting today to reorganize the company's structure, Mark is the president, only responsible for film and television production, Meghan vice president, in charge of personnel and finance, Will is the general manager, responsible for the company's operations and administration, there are four supervisors, responsible for film and television distribution, DVD production and distribution, marketing and logistics, etc., and Hank and Ruby are as Mark's assistants, fully assisting him in his work.

Mark and Meghan both know that they have no formal training, they are not administrative materials, and forcibly taking over will only make a mess of the company, Meghan wants to pull a ticket from Oracle to manage talents, but was stopped by Mark, MM is an independent company, not a branch of Oracle.

They learned from Oracle's performance appraisal regulations, formulated their own performance appraisal plan, and generously took 5% of each for a total of 10% equity incentives, which maximized the enthusiasm and aggressiveness of employees, and made the management team more energetic.

For a small company with a market value of only more than three million, it is now injecting tens of millions of dollars to join hands with giant companies to make movies, which is a huge progress, and employees are gearing up and ready to do a big job.

Mark and others had a few days to transition after restructuring the company, and then officially moved to the production of The Hangover.

This time "The Hangover" is a co-production, but it is still dominated by Mark, he is fully responsible for shooting and production, they have begun the preliminary preparations, Ruby with two newly recruited screenwriters, began to write the scene drama, Mark is not good at painting, it used to be replaced by stickmen and symbols, now there is a formal team, it is handed over to professional people to draw, as a photographer, it is very important to understand the director's intentions, many photographers are at the beginning to join the preparation, in every link of the intervention, in order to thoroughly understand the director's intentions.

Ruby now enjoys the treatment of a big-name photographer, he was more prepared at first, choosing equipment and instruments, and they also rented a helicopter this time for aerial photography, as well as selecting assistants, in his words, mixed up, smiling all day long, showing that proud white teeth.

Hank assisted Mark and began to make a production plan, first accounting for the success, although he had decided to invest 30 million, but how the money should be spent, and how much each link should be spent must have a clear plan, such as how much publicity costs will be spent, how much will the actors cost, how much will the crew spend on daily expenses, and how much will the post-production cost be, which must be clearly understood and clearly defined.

Kevin decided to delegate power this time, except for sending a producer Tom to supervise the use of funds, the rest is all tossed by Mark, which also means to hone Mark's and see how capable he is, for Warner, there are four or five works with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in operation every year, which is about 10 million investment, which is really not a big business.

However, the necessary support is available, they can rent equipment and instruments from Warner at a good price, recruit professionals for the crew, and also rent one of Warner's studios at an in-house price, where they will set up the set and shoot the interior scenes.

"The Hangover" is an absurd and funny story that happened in Las Vegas, they will be filmed in Las Vegas, more than half of the scenes are filmed here, this is a well-known vacation paradise, the world's gold cave, the crew's expenses here are a lot of expenses, they organized a crew of more than 50 people to film this time, how to reduce expenses is a realistic problem.

There are a few shots that still have to be closed and filmed inside the casino, this casino is a place where money is making money every day, they will not allow the camera crew to toss in it and destroy their business, if they build their own sets, it is a large amount of expenses, these are very sophisticated producers' abilities, persuade the Las Vegas city government, let them agree to close the street filming, persuade the casino management, let them agree to shoot in the casino, this must be the producer to come out and convince them.

Now that they have listed the plans and processes one by one and started to make preliminary preparations, Mark is sighing, he used to think that the producer and the director have great power, which is very good, but now I know that this is a tiring work, and the workload is ten times greater than the preparation of "Chainsaw", of course, the cost is also ten times greater, and the challenge and pressure are extremely great.

The Hangover There are four producers in the crew, Tom is in charge of supervising, regardless of the specific affairs, Mark and Meghan can't be called half-, Hank has received systematic and professional training, and has also taken a lot of casual work, but he has not taken the lead alone, and he has been alone, Mark is gritting his teeth and saying that the city government will let them close the street for filming, and Meghan is responsible for lobbying the casino, which is written in the script about Caesars Palace, and Fat Allen also used the stalk of Caesars Palace to tell a cold joke, but if you can't convince the casino side, switch to another one, changing the show is also one of the alternatives。

These casinos and resorts in Las Vegas belong to large entertainment groups, and they all have backstage backgrounds, and they can only be impressed by emotion and reason, and power and interests cannot easily make them succumb.

In particular, Caesars Palace, which belongs to the large entertainment group Caesars Entertainment, a listed company, a Fortune 500 company, is the first theme casino resort hotel in Las Vegas, Caesars Palace has a luxurious landscaping, with majestic fountains, several restaurants, two casinos, fitness spa treatments, beauty salons, shopping malls, tennis courts, four entertainment centers and performance halls, and an area of 4.5 acres, with three swimming pools "Garden of the Gods" , It's not easy to convince them, Meghan took the job because her dad is friends with the boss of Caesars Entertainment, and wants to take the high-level route and go through the back door.

And Mark went to find Sophia to see if she had a way, it can be said that the closure of the street involves several departments, and it is never allowed without the consent of the city government, for a place where tourism and vacation are the pillar industries, there is a huge flow of passengers every day, and the closure of the street will bring a lot of losses, if it is not closed, it will bring safety hazards, if Warner's top management goes out, it should be convincing, but with their attitude towards "The Hangover", it should be unlikely.

Mark walked into Sophia's office with the plan, Sophia put down her work and happily received Mark, she smiled and said, "You look mature and handsome in a suit." ”

Mark's favorite thing is to wear sportswear, his least favorite is a suit, wearing a tie makes him feel awkward and uncomfortable, he walks carefully, not afraid of pulling eggs, but afraid of cracking the crotch, but as the president of the company, and hairless on his mouth, he has to wear a formal suit, which makes people look mature and stable.

The good news is that almost everyone thinks that Mark in a suit is handsome, strong, mature, very manly, and can be a duck, oh!

Mark was sweating on his forehead, not nervous, but covering the heat, even though the air conditioner was turned on here, he still felt hot, and he handed the plan to Sophia and asked her to help figure it out.

Sophia smiled: "It's only been three months, and you've cooperated with a giant company to direct a blockbuster with 30 million US dollars, and your progress is surprisingly fast, until now I can't believe that a person who can't figure out grammar has written the best-selling novel and directed the movie himself." ”

Mark said, "But I did, didn't I? I don't know how to explain it, but I did?" Mark said to many people around him, even David and Blake, who were closest to him, but it was also true that Mark's plays and novels were written in front of them, which dispelled their suspicions, but they just thought it was very strange.

Sophia said: "The Hangover was born to snipe the Passion of the Christ, and the difficulties it faces are not only your difficulties, and I will help you do this?"
