Chapter 81: Sweetness
Mark and Blake hugged each other like this, chattering until they were hungry and went to the restaurant to find food, unintentionally opened the phone, only to find that there were more than 20 missed calls, all of which were Mason's, Mark smiled: "Mason is fried!"
Blake smiled bitterly: "Mason has loved me very much since I was a child, if someone bullies me, I will definitely be beaten all over the ground to find teeth, and if a boy asks me out, he will definitely beat the other person." β
Mark got Blake's body and mind, full of dopamine, the joy and happiness in his heart almost overflowed, everything is beautiful, Blake is so cute and sweet, his behavior of Mason, who has always been unhappy, is also acceptable, he ignores the Mason text message he received, "Bastard! My Remington is waiting for you", Mark said: "Mason is a good brother, I hope I can be like him." β
Blake agonized, "Mason is going crazy. Seeing Mark's smile, she said, "Aren't you worried?"
"I just got the best thing in the world, and even if Mason beats me, I'm not going to fight back because it's worth it," Mark said. β
Blake was overjoyed by Mark's sweet words, and she couldn't help but kiss Mark and said, "I'm glad you said that." β
Mark said: "How I want to get the front page of the Los Angeles Times and declare that I am the happiest man in the world, and I will not change the president." β
Blake smiled and agreed, saying, "I'm the same." Their eyes met, the tenderness and sweetness in their eyes almost melted them, and love welled up, and they wanted to find a place to love again, and they were so bitter that they didn't even notice that an angry Mason walked in.
Mason has reason to be angry, his sister let the bastard kidnap and ruined it, and what's even more infuriating is that the three hot girls who have been pestering him don't fan him anymore, and they don't fan Hiss, a handsome guy, he can't find a target if he wants to make a shot, and the man who is dissatisfied with his desire is the most terrible.
Mason angrily said to Mark, "You bastard!"
Only then did Mark find out that Mason was coming, and said with a smile: "Mason, good morning!"
Mason said, "What did you do to Blake?"
Mark looked at Blake tenderly and lovingly, and said, "I became the happiest man in the world." β
Mason was furious, but seeing Mark and Blake's sweet and happy appearance, they were almost like soaked in honey, and he couldn't get angry, he pointed at Mark and said, "If you're sorry Blake, I'll kill you." β
Mark said: "Blake is my favorite, my sweetheart, I love her so much, we will get married and have many children. β
Blake smiled sweetly, poured Mason a cup of coffee, gave him a saucer, and placed a sandwich full of peanut butter into the saucer.
Mason was rarely angry with his sister, and he said indignantly: "Damn, you guy who doesn't believe in God, how could God give you an angel like Black." β
Mark sandwiched a ham sausage and gave him and said, "God is great and holy, his tolerance can accommodate the universe, as long as he is a good person, he will be blessed, I am a good person, I love Blake, I love you, Mason, you are a good brother!"
Mason scolded, "You think slapping me on the back will change my impression of you? You're a bastard, and I don't mind beating you up." β
Mark said: "Blake and I are truly in love, and your worries and stops are meaningless. β
Mason saw Blake looking at Mark with a look of obsession on his face, he knew that Blake was fascinated by this guy, and what he was doing became meaningless, he said, "If you are sorry for Blake and hurt Blake, I will definitely kill you." β
Mark said, "OK!" He knew that this guy couldn't accept the fact that Blake was already his person, and was worried that he would treat him badly, but what was wrong with that?
They had breakfast, got on the helicopter, returned to the dock, drove the BMW, sent the Blake brothers and sisters home first, Mark returned to the company, Hank and Ruby were waiting, they would re-cut the story and edit it into a story, for this secondary creation, Mark was quite serious, personally watched Hank cut from beginning to end, to make sure that the story style would not deviate from the direction, and by the way learned how to edit.
Now that he is in post-production, Mark is busier, he has to cut out the film version, and then let people do the soundtrack, post-special effects, etc., this is still one thing, this is different from the first two works, even if it is thrown to Warner after filming, he has to intervene in the publicity and distribution by himself, and there are more things to do, and now it is the publicity period, and they have to draw up their own publicity plan.
The bigger problem is that the MM distribution company is in the period of restructuring and running-in, everything is not on the right track, and the problem of Mark's thin foundation is also highlighted, except for Will, there are no available people, and several division managers of MM Distribution, who originally did a good job in Lianyi, now the company is down, and it takes time to adapt to the small company of MM, and Mark and Mason don't know about them, and it is impossible to lead them as henchmen and reuse them, so they must personally check many problems, control the rhythm, and ensure that there will be no problemsγ
Mark doesn't understand this aspect at all, mainly by Meghan and her assistant Jessica, Meghan is not entangled in those management details, she formulates performance appraisal regulations, and high-profile preaches the argument that as long as the result is done, it doesn't care about the process, survival of the fittest, the superior is inferior and the inferior is down, regardless of the process, as long as the result, their purpose is to win 2,000 theaters.
If they can win so much, plus the more than 2,000 that Warner promised, they will enjoy the treatment of blockbusters, but this may not be easy.
On the other hand, there is publicity, the last time Markla tore up J Pusen, which made "The Hangover" quickly famous, but J Pusen came back and decided not to entangle with this guy, no matter how provocative the other party was, he just didn't respond, a slap didn't make a sound, this trick didn't work.
But the good news is that "The Hangover" is famous, and the publicity in the future is much better, they promote it on TV, newspapers, the Internet and other media, print a large number of posters, and paste them in conspicuous places such as the entrance of the cinema, and their publicity is divided into two aspects, lobbying the cinema company and the cinema, so that they can join the screening ranks, promote it to the audience, let more people know that there is this movie, and pay out of their pockets to enter the cinema.
Mark was the first to cut out a funny version of the trailer for TV promotion, their movie did not have a big star to join, there is no gimmick in publicity, in this era of eyeballs, not attracting people's interest means failure.
In recent years, the audience has preferred big stars and big productions to watch movies, which is the value of stars, like comedy king Kim Carrey, a master of funny, as long as he joins, the audience knows that this is a funny movie, and is willing to pay for it, in the eyes of many audiences, the movie joined by a superstar means a big investment, which is generally a high-quality movie.
In terms of publicity, who doesn't try their best to promote their movies as good movies, in order to fool the audience into the cinema, that is to show their powers.
Mark's "The Hangover" also has obvious advantages and disadvantages in terms of publicity, the disadvantage is that there are no superstars to join, it is difficult to attract attention, and even "The Passion of Christ" There are problems in this regard, J Pusen does everything to provoke the topic, suffering from the lack of support from the media group, for half a year of publicity, and Mark's advantage is that he has the support of the media group, after the film enters the publicity period, relevant film news frequently appears in the media, and the leading actors also frequently appear in the media, and Mark dares to reserve three months to promote the film because of the support of the media group, which also includes other works in the later stage.
Mark cut out the first version of the movie, and Meghan went to Warner with several of his managers to ask them to discuss the joint release.
The quality of "The Hangover" is there, even if it is not processed with soundtrack and special effects, it also exerts an extraordinary funny charm, and everyone who watches the movie laughs so much that their stomachs hurt and they can't straighten their waists.
This makes the rest much easier, and a comedy that makes people laugh out loud is a successful comedy.
In addition to the people on the MM side, there are also people from the Warner review department, the distribution department, and the publicity department, for the hangover, they unanimously applauded, and it is not known whether a movie will be released or not, but will it hit the street When watching the first version, Ni Duan will appear, "The Hangover" is super funny, and it is the kind that will not die if you don't die.
Kevin patted Mark on the shoulder and said, "You're a genius, a "Saw" scared people, and now a "Hangover" makes people laugh and hurt, you'll make it." β
Mark took the opportunity to ask, "How's the Batman reboot?"
Kevin said: "We have competitors, legends have a lot of strengths, their production capabilities are above MM, their new director Nolan is a very talented guy, they do well in many ways, they have supporters on the board, and now Barry's attitude is unclear, his attitude is key. β
"I'm confident that 'Batman' will be a blockbuster series," Mark said. "Mark is doing so many things now to point at "Batman", but Warner is really rich, it is impossible for them to transfer the copyright of "Batman", they can only bring money into the group and execute Gotham Town, in this way, a share of this super IP, and Warner has not let go.
Even if "Saw Horror" rebounded slightly after the Halloween schedule, the North Korean box office successfully exceeded 85 million US dollars, and the overseas box office also exceeded 90 million US dollars, in fact, the record can be called brilliant, plus DVD and TV rights, it will bring Warner 50 million US dollars in revenue, and its investment is only 1.5 million, and it can also be made into a series, it is not an exaggeration to call Mark a fortune boy, but Warner regards "Batman" as his life, and he just refuses to let go, and Mark is helpless about this.
