Chapter 211: Surrender
Mark set off for New York this time, not only with his family, but also with many friends and a few people around Giselle, who simply chartered a small plane to travel.
Mark really wanted to live in Giselle's house, but Meghan was not interested, so she chartered a luxury bar early, and as soon as the plane landed, she immediately took them to the Hilton Hotel and arranged for their family to live in the presidential suite, each of whom had more than one room, and seeing Donald rush over and the family was happy, it was not easy to have a reunion dinner, and he didn't want to ruin everyone's interest.
And David, Scarlett, Rachel, and Heath also live on the same floor, to Rachel and Scarlett, everyone used to be very good, and they were speechless, but since the incident of opening the room after being drunk, it has embarrassed everyone, they all kept their distance from Mark, and Scarlett, who loves to joke and loves **Mark, doesn't dare to joke anymore.
Warner's forcible suppression made the media dare not talk nonsense, but the little between them was spread by the tabloids even more unbearable, making the parties seem embarrassed, and it was rumored that Rachel and Scarlett were Mark's lovers, and the characters all relied on sleeping, all of which made Rachel unchased, and Scarlett was dumped by her boyfriend, which made Mark very angry, and he was free to find someone to kill Will.
After dinner, Mark's family drank coffee and sat together to listen to Kayla play piano music, and Donald didn't bring his girlfriend this time, Donald this kid was originally handsome and extraordinary, often practiced and operated Facebook, and already had the temperament of a successful person, unlike Mark, Mark is like a strong cowboy, and he is an elegant British gentleman, the most unhappy thing for Mark is that this guy is wearing a three-piece suit all day long.
Mark teased him that if he came to Hollywood, the cream boys would have to make a living elsewhere.
Donald disagreed, and asked instead: "How does the world's number one model feel?"
Mark said, "I think I'm the object of envy and jealousy of other men. ”
Of course, they didn't stop talking about that, they exchanged opinions on Facebook and Marvel operations, and Mark said happily: "I've been in Los Angeles for a long time after I finished the late stage of "Batman", and we can eat together every week. ”
Donald said: "Marvel hasn't made any progress in the last decade, are you sure your movie plan can save it?"
Mark said: "Of course, otherwise what would we have worked so hard to buy him for?" Mark then said happily: "This year is my luck year, not only won Marvel, but our MM's "Wedding Proud Guest" The biggest opponent "National Rival" has withdrawn, and it is difficult to think about it this time. ”
The original version of "Wedding Proud" was released in the summer of 05, and the quality of the body was good, coupled with the failure of several blockbusters in the same period, forming a dominant scene, and Beimi hit a box office of 200 million US dollars, becoming one of the top ten grossing movies in the world by Beimi.
And now because of their financial constraints, they decided to release it early and during Valentine's Day, and the first rival in the same period is the love blockbuster "Enemy of Love" by Columbia Pictures.
"Enemy of Love" is the first romantic comedy film directed by Andy Tannatt and starring Will Smith, which is scheduled to premiere on February 11 this year. In a sense, this film is an experimental work to test whether Will Smith is a real public lover, or just a niche lover of the black sisters, as Hollywood's hottest superstar, science fiction king Will Smith has become popular as fast as no one, and his first love work is joined with a salary of 25 million plus a share.
And this work also hit 170 million in North America and 140 million overseas, becoming the top ten grossing movies in the world in North America that year, once again proving Will Smith's amazing box office appeal and being the biggest winner of the Valentine's Day schedule.
After their two works were set for Valentine's Day, without their own publicity, the media shouted the slogan of the battle between the two heroes, although last year's Colombia's "Fifty First Loves" reached the intended goal, but compared with the demons of "The Hangover", it can be called a complete defeat, this year's narrow road encounter, the media and the audience have shouted that there is something to watch, science fiction king Will Smith vs. Mark Gang.
In fact, Mark is still under a lot of pressure, Will Smith's nickname as the box office king is not blown, with an average of more than 100 million per work, which can bring stable returns to investors.
However, the situation has undergone a shocking reversal, the entire Soni system has been underproduced by the United States, and all movies and DVDs cannot be sold, Mark knows that he has won, and now Columbia Pictures has withdrawn, which is a wise move, and the investment in this movie has reached a huge amount of 70 million US dollars, and now it will only be wasted if it is invested.
The publicity and distribution of a movie is a systematic project, Valentine's Day because of the competition between the two heroes, other film companies have retreated, and there are no A-level blockbusters released in the same period, and now "The Enemy of Love" has retreated, "Wedding Guest" has become a dominant trend, and accounts for a lot of the market share vacated by "Enemy of Love", many movie theaters that want to play "Enemy of Love" will play "Wedding Enemy", no wonder Mark is so happy.
Mark was extremely proud and said: "If I can't run Marvel well in two years, let the professional manager take over."
Marvel released "Iron Man" in 08, and turned over in one fell swoop, in fact, they started preparing for this blockbuster at the beginning of 05, and they all had no money and no confidence to make trouble, so it took three years, and Mark has money and confidence, and plans to shoot it in the second half of this year and release it in the summer of next year.
In the selection of Iron Man, he has chosen everything, let David Lee, the original Robert Downey Jr. is a superstar who has become a screen classic, and he has also turned from an addict prodigal son to a superstar, Mark admires Donny very much, and also likes him to play Iron Man, but there are two problems, he is friends with Mark's sworn enemy J Puson, and he has just been released from prison not long ago, and he has not yet successfully rehabrated drugs, and now Iron Man is filming in advance, he can't catch this bus, and Mamak can't let him go.
David Lee is the longest with Mark in the Mark Gang, when Mark erected the flag to recruit soldiers, he came to vote, participated in the filming of all the works, and didn't care about the money or money, as long as it was Mark's work, he participated, in "Batman", Mark wanted him to take the position, but unfortunately let Xiao Li cut off the beard, this time "Iron Man" is his own work, Mark is determined to let David Lee go on.
As a producer, Mark believes in one thing, no one is irreplaceable, the role of an actor, the actor who can achieve the role, Hollywood is not more than ten, all of them are national treasures, the current David Lee is not comparable to Robert Jr. in terms of fame, popularity, and appeal, putting David Lee and Robert Jr. together for selection, the result is also doomed, using Robert Jr. is a risky attempt.
David Lee, who has been in the entertainment industry for so long, has been struggling on the 18th line, working hard to support his family, he does not have any bad habits, scandals, bad deeds, is a good husband and a good father, he did not lose himself after becoming popular quickly, he was not confused by money and beauty, he is still a low-key and humble person, his character and way of dealing with the world are admired by everyone, such a person is not praised, who is good.
The key to a movie is money, then the producer, director, starring, screenwriter, and now these factors are all in place, and once Marvel starts, all this will enter the fast lane.
Donald is trustworthy about Mark's means of playing movies, in fact, in his mind, his half-brother is omnipotent, he used to be clumsy, just adapting to a strange environment, when he adapts to all this, he is invincible in the world, Mark said that if he can handle it, he will definitely be able to handle it, he has no doubt about this.
Mark knocked on Rachel's door on the same floor after the family party, who knew that Scarlett was also inside, and the fact that she opened the door after being drunk had a huge impact on Rachel, and the company planned to praise her as an innocent sweet sister, and now she can only take the sexy route like Scarlett.
Rachel is a girl who loves to be quiet and doesn't like to be lively, her usual hobbies are to read books, listen to music, in addition to movies, she also receives some advertising endorsements, although there were three blockbuster works last year, but they were all received before they became popular, and the income was not high, all supported by some advertising endorsements, but this year's "Wedding Proud Guest", she won a salary of nine million US dollars, which is on par with superstars, but when "Wedding Proud Guest" is a big hit and the "Love Notes" that is being released In the end, the box office decided that it would not be a big problem to break 15 million, and she herself realized that "Wedding Guest" was crucial to her salary pricing, and if this work was also a big hit, she would become the highest-paid group of actresses.
Scarlett, on the contrary, likes to be lively, is keen on parties, and her box office appeal is affirmed, so she starred in "Escape from Clone Island" with a value of 8 million US dollars.
Scarlett said: "You are not afraid to let tabloid reporters photograph all this again." ”
Mark shrugged his shoulders and said, "The body is not afraid of shadows." ”
Scarlett said: "The problem is that we have a problem, if it was before, we would all be painted with a red A and paraded through the streets. "This is the previous method of dealing with adulterers and cheaters.
Rachel pushed Scarlett, blaming her for talking nonsense, Scarlett said, "People like thirty-six D big-breasted girls, you don't have a chance." ”
Mark said: "I certainly didn't chase Giselle because of her breasts, she was very smart and gentle. ”
Scarlett smiled and said, "Why are you hiding yourself? That man doesn't like girls with big breasts and long legs? You definitely didn't go for her head, women with thirty-six D breasts are more popular than doctors' heads." ”
Mark said: "Because of this incident, we are unfamiliar, don't we even have to be friends?"
Scarlett said: "It's just a one-night stand, and we want to keep it in the hotel, and I didn't pick it up." ”
