Sophia understands that their ethnic group has a huge influence in all aspects, financial, political, and educational influences, most of them belong to the elite class, but the proportion of the population is small, more than 6 million people, accounting for only about 3 percent, saying that the Jews control the United States, control the world, it is a dangerous joke, the forces that oppose and control them are that her Jewish blood comes from the patrilineal line, which is partial to the Jews, but it does not hinder her identification with the bloodline, this identity and bloodline bring her countless conveniences and benefits, she is a person who celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas。

Sophia said: "I don't know whether the drama is good or bad, and I've heard the saying that a good script can make a bad movie, and a bad drama can also make a good movie, Kevin is willing to invest in your movie, which means that there is merit, and at the same time you have a low bet, I don't agree with it, but I still have a request?"

Mark said, "Please?"

"It's a tradition in our family that you have to accompany us to Switzerland skiing at Christmas," says Sophia. ”

Mark said: "No problem. ”

Sophia said: "The standard process is to get the money within five days, I will help you try to get it within three days, and at the same time, the bank will send someone to supervise to ensure that the special funds are used exclusively and will not be diverted to them such as buying and selling luxury cars, yachts, etc." ”

After saying that, she laughed herself, she didn't want to give Mark Porsche, he said that he wanted to earn his own money to buy it, and he hadn't been to the family yacht a few times, let alone embezzled public funds to buy it. ”

Mark said, "0K!"

Sophia said: "Wait for me for twenty minutes, let's have lunch together, and by the way, introduce a few colleagues to you." ”

This is a good thing that Kevin can't ask for, of course he won't refuse, he readily agrees, he is not a person who squanders the money from making movies, now he is wearing many hats, under the multiple identities of producer and director, he has great power, but he also has a great responsibility, in Hollywood, where the producer-centered system is prevalent, there is no identity of a producer, and he is simply controlled by people everywhere.

Producer generally refers to the boss of the film company or the agent of the employer, responsible for the overall planning and directing of the preparation and production of the film, has the right to change the plot of the script, and decides on the candidates for the director and main actors. Forming a team, selling films" and other overall work, in Xiangjiang and Baodao, the name of the producer is usually called the producer, and in some places it is called the producer.

In Hollywood, it is the norm to act and direct, or to act and act in the system, and quite speaking, there are more people who act and act and act in the system, like those few big-name superstars, which one did not have the title of a producer for himself? Now even many second-tier actors, when they have the ability to bring in funds and make films, also join the producers' union and regard themselves as producers.

Mark has a lot of power and a heavy burden, and he must participate in every aspect of the movie, unlike those directors who have little power, who will 0K after filming, pat their butts and leave.

Mark has been involved in everything from script coordination, preliminary preparation, formation of film crew (including contract signing of cast and crew and filming equipment), production cost accounting, financial review, execution of shooting production, post-production, assisting investors in domestic and foreign distribution, and domestic and foreign declaration and participation.

It can be said that he is the master of the "Hangover" crew, the highest power of the film crew, who has the right to decide on the hiring of outstanding members, and also has the right to fire members who violate discipline in the crew.

For example, Warner stuffed two producer slots into the "The Hangover" crew this time, one is Kevin, the dignified vice president of Warner, and the other is Tom, in fact, it can be understood that Kevin is supporting Tom's platform, if you put aside the relationship between Blake, Tom can't balance Mark.

Because Mark and Warner are allies of interest, Kevin has a request for Sophia, while Mark knows nothing about the operation of distribution, and has no reputation and connections, so he can only be handed over to Warner to operate, but he also requires himself to gradually get involved in the operation of distribution, this matter is not urgent, they need time, and the company's distribution team is not developed in a few years and ten years.

Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate are good enough, right? It has also taken nearly a decade to build its own publishing team, especially Lionsgate, behind which is the Canadian banker, who will not be short of money at all, and it has taken so long to rise, like MGM and DreamWorks, these large companies do not pay attention to their own distribution departments, and are gradually declining.

Mark gets the loan contract and immediately goes to talk to his second general.

Hank and Ruby thought at first that they were just working part-time jobs at Mark Studio, and when they repaid the money they owed Mark, they would go to hug the legs of big companies, who knew that Mark's path was so wild, a small Chengtai movie made by a leather bag company could actually get a big contract from a giant company, and after filming "Chainsaw", he immediately won a big contract that was the envy of countless film companies, and took advantage of the situation to win the investment rights of Warner in "The Hangover", and quickly prepared to make the next movie.

Mark's energy is so great that they will disappear, this is a great opportunity to do a big job, even if you enter a large company, where the competition is fierce, there may not be a good opportunity to get ahead, just follow Mark to do a good job, more than 30 million projects, not a small project.

There is money in hand, the waist pole is also hard, the vision is also high, more than 30 million production, the company can not be set up in the garage, this is a medium and large project, this is a residential area, people come and go every day, it will affect the lives of others, especially David and Sophia, their top priority is to find a place to rent immediately, move out, make it formal, have a façade, be decent.

They immediately went to find a suitable rent, David is more experienced in this regard, David Law Firm has entertainment lawyers who are familiar with the laws and regulations of the entertainment industry, Mark hired one of them as a legal adviser when he founded Mark Studio, named Bell, a college student who just graduated from Harvard Law School, the young man is full of energy, full of vitality, and is a very energetic and energetic young man, of course, if it is not a good product, David will not introduce it to his son, which is a lot of expenses for Mark, but there is no way, where the law is taught everywhere, if there is no lawyer to guide and prompt, it will suffer everywhere。

Mark came to Hanhe Law Firm, Bell was the lowest level of the little lawyer, did not have his own office, let alone any assistants and secretaries, but there was a separate cubicle in the hall, and they were happy to borrow a conference room and pour their own tea.

Mark explained his intention and wanted to listen to the lawyer's opinion, but Mark wanted to go directly to David, remembering that he was a barrister who charged $1,000 an hour, and still dismissed this idea.

Who knew that Becker immediately said: "In fact, you should buy a small film company to save time, it is better to have a complete department, the kind that moves in with your bags, this is more suitable for you who are developing rapidly, there are very few new companies opened in Hollywood every day, and there are many listed for sale that are messed up on the street, and you are preparing a new movie, which determines that you do not have enough time to rent the venue, renovate, recruit people, buy equipment, etc., and it is best to buy the next one." ”

Mark spread his hands and said: "But I only have more than 500,000 in my hands? The copyrights of "This Man is from Earth", "Chainsaw" and "Twilight" are all used as collateral to prepare the funds for the production of "The Hangover", I don't think more than 500,000 can buy a company like you said?"

Bell said: " Of course not, I have six candidate companies here, all of them have no non-performing assets and third-party debts, they are worth investing, the cheapest is more than 2 million, the most expensive is 3.5 million, I am most optimistic about the McConaughey Films, its owner has been working for more than 20 years, and now he wants to retire and move to New Zealand to live with his family, so he decided to sell it, his performance is good, he has his own film library, more than 40 movies, DVD and distribution and rental business, and has a stable income of 200,000 or 300,000 a year, and even better is that they mainly distribute small horror and comedy films, and their company is operating well in terms of business debt, except for labor and other expenses, there will be more than 200,000 yuan of income every year. ”

Mark said: "Since it is so good, there should be a lot of people rushing to buy it, right?"

Bell said: "Of course, there are a lot of people who make offers, but we have an advantage that others can't have, McConaughey Pictures owes Citibank a loan, but at the same time he has a few arrears, and his arrears cannot be repaid within the repayment period according to the contract, and the bank has enough reasons to collect his company during the repayment period, which will cost him a lot of money, and if someone says hello to the bank and gives him a grace period of two months, McConaughey Pictures, the owner of McConaughey Pictures, will be happy to trade with him, which can save him a lot of money." ”

Mark said: "Blonde is angry, who doesn't like it? I only have a fraction of the problem, should he ask the bank to stop chasing the loan and sell me 500,000 yuan? I have mortgaged the valuable things in my hand, I will not do anything to embarrass Sophia." ”

Bell said: "You haven't fully explored yourself, for example, "Twilight" is a super fire now, the market is very hungry now, book fans are very hungry for sequels, there is "Twilight" as an example, its sequel will not be bad, it is not too much to expect three million copies to sell, you give the sequel distribution rights to Random House in exchange, asking them to advance three million dollars, it should not be very difficult." ”

Mark said, "Is this okay? Will it make our cooperation worse?"

Bell said: "If it were someone else, Random House has a way to clean up people, but given your status, they can't use this method at all, you never ask for them, and make them make a lot of money, the sequel to "Twilight" doesn't have to be handed over to them, it's normal for everyone to bid high, what do you think?"
