In Mark's industrial layout, it is now recognized that the most valuable are the shares of MM Group and Brother Gu, and there are not many people who are optimistic about MM who are really valuable.

Mark's focus is on MM's film business, but it's just out of interest, not the most productive value.

As the fourth power, the competition in the media industry is very fierce, and it is not an exaggeration to use more than a dozen predators to compete for food in the pond, and the situation is bloody and tragic, and many companies are operating at a loss, all relying on the blood transfusion of the companies behind them, but the influence of the media group in the country's political life is huge.

Mark did this because there has never been a Chinese family that can do well and gain a foothold in this industry, and there is no shortage of scientists, lawyers, and businessmen of Chinese Americans, but there is a lack of people engaged in politics and the media, and politics and the media are common.

Since the Wang family took control of the MM Group, their status has risen sharply among the Chinese, and they can be on a par with several big families.

However, the rapid rise in recent years, and the media industry, the core industry of the United States, which is rarely involved in the Chinese, has made them the most dazzling emerging family, whether it is the National Association of Chinese Americans or the North Chinese Chamber of Commerce, they have opened their arms to them and become one of the principals.

And the advantage of David becoming one of the vice presidents of the National Chinese Association is that he has the support of several Chinese American consortiums, who ask the Wang family, no matter how hard it is, to support it as a banner, and if there is a financial crisis, they will provide support.

These statements made Mark feel that his work was of great significance, so he continued to do it with peace of mind.

With his layout, even if he stays here, his family's output value will double several times in the next few years, but if he wants to stand longer and more firmly in this country, he must have his own media group and spokesperson.

After meeting with Oku, Iger was full of praise for this talented and eloquent person, and expressed his support for the senator who announced his candidacy for the 2008 presidential election, which is the first support of a large company that Oguanhai has received, and MM's publicity channels and public relations team will provide him with great convenience, which is quite a comment for Okuguanhai, who is still only a senator.

When O'Ao's campaign office announced the MM Group's support and donations, The Washington Post commented: "This young senator from Chicago has the qualifications to join the game. ”

O's resume is perfect, having graduated from Harvard University and gaining national recognition for the first time as he was elected as the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review.

In '91, he received his J.D. (laude) from Harvard (J.R. is a graduate of U.S. Law School, J.J. D.) and returned to Chicago where he led a voter registration campaign and was a member of the Civil Rights Mailer J.D. B· G Law Firm Works.

For 12 years, from '93 to '05, he served as a lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School.

In January '03, when the Democrats regained control of Parliament, he was nominated to chair the state health and human services commission.

In the congressional elections in 04, *** was elected as a federal senator, and during his tenure as a federal senator, he participated in the drafting of bills on the control of conventional weapons, promoted greater public scrutiny of the use of federal funds, and supported a series of bills on issues such as lobbying, election fraud, climate change and nuclear terrorism.

Ao Guanhai's middleman Jerry found Mark first, but Mark was not very interested in politics and did not understand the rules of the American political game, so he promised to donate, but did not participate in it, while Egger was different, he was in a high position and sat in charge of massive resources, such a man, who did not have the heart to enter the house of cards to play? So the important task of connecting with Ao Guanhai was moved to Egger, and he was responsible for the operation.

With such a large group as MM, there will definitely be political interests, and if there is no political protection, it is easy to become a target.

For example, last time, MM acquired Columbia and MGM, which required the approval of the state, but Larry and Sophia behind MM made a move, and the approval was completed within an hour, which is the power of connections.

For example, in the future, MM will further expand, and there will be opportunities to merge and acquire other giant film companies, such as the future, Disney will swallow Twentieth Century Fox, and 米國Telecom will swallow Time Warner to form a new supergiant, if it was before, it would definitely have collapsed because of the monopoly bill, but at that time the market has changed, and streaming media giants such as Amazon and Netfy have comprehensively impacted and grabbed the traditional giant market, which makes them have to huddle together to survive.

At this time, there must be high-level government officials to speak for it, and more to deal with all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods, with high-level support, which is very effective.

After filming the location, Mark returned to California, continued to shoot indoor scenes in the studio, and worked locally, so that he could accompany his wife and children every day, and he didn't dare to blatantly meet his lover.

Now I have returned home to live a normal life, and I don't have to chase the emperor's food every day like a wolf, and I live a life of three points and one line in the office, on the set, and at home.

During this period, he participated in the premiere of Martin Scorsese's new film "Infernal Affairs", and one of the conditions for signing up for the Oscar selection was that the premiere must have been held in North China.

Martin Scorsese's rice version of "Infernal Affairs" has grossed $27 million in its first weekend since its release, but it has become the weekly champion, which is Scorsese's best personal first week result and the best result in 30 years of filmmaking.

But Scorsese is not happy, such a good box office result, this is a literary film! How can it be so good?

However, critics welcomed it, calling "Infernal Affairs" a gangster film of the highest calibre, and considering it the best work of Martin Scorsese since "Goodfellas" in 1990.

In recent years, although Martin Scorsese has been disappointed at the Oscars twice, it cannot be denied that both "Gangs of New York" and "The Aviator" are excellent works, and the master has always been the master, but the audience's appetite has evolved from the era of "Taxi Driver", so try some fast-paced changes, Scorsese's general direction is right, saying "Infernal Affairs" It may not be an exaggeration to say that it is the most anticipated film of the year: the great director who tried to innovate, the acting master Jack Nicholson, who once again picked up the villainous role, plus Xiao Lizi, Heath, and the three acting male team, this alone is full of highlights.

The critics also have a favorable attitude towards it, almost everyone knows that Scorsese is the disappointed person of the Oscars, and his nickname of the uncrowned king is not in vain, and the accumulation of thirty years of first-line directors has given him a kind of prestige that everyone wants, and now, many people feel that the Oscar will not give him another award, which is a bit too much.

Scorsese's mood deteriorated with the rising box office of the movie, it actually broke 80 million in three weeks, such a result, which made him a little uneasy, sure enough, in the latest issue of the "Hollywood Daily" "Oscar Prediction", ten excellent, possible shortlisted movies one by one, even "The Devil Wears Prada" and "Little Beauty in the Sunshine" are listed, and "Infernal Affairs" was not among them, Scorsese panicked a little, and hurriedly came to Mark and asked him to stop showing the film and wait for it to be released again after the Oscars, on the grounds that the box office was too high and it was not good for participating in the Oscars.

The distribution strategy of many movies is to premiere a few years ago, go offline immediately after the box office exceeds 20 million, and re-release after the Oscars are gilded.

But Mark will do this when his brain is in water, Xiao Li Zi and Heath plus Jack Nicholson have box office appeal, and do they still use Oscar gilding? With an investment of 70 million US dollars, the box office is king, and winning the award is just the icing on the cake.

Mark said: "Martin, you should know that the investment in this movie plus the production costs, but when it comes to 90 million US dollars, after we have taken out 90 million, it is now the harvest time, and you let me take it off the shelves? This is to make it clear that I don't want to earn money, how much does the Oscar drive the box office? A heavyweight award is 20 million, for me, it is equivalent to you making me give up N heavyweight awards." ”

Scorsese said: "Now the early reviews are not good for "Infernal Affairs", we should adopt the traditional publicity strategy. ”

Mark said: "Our publicity team has not yet made a move, the 20 million public relations expenses have not been used, and when our team makes a move, everything will be different, Daniel is a public relations master, last year won six little gold statues for us, and this year will be no exception, you can rest assured, we will ensure that "Infernal Affairs" has been in the topic and heat, your ability and qualifications are unmatched, this year's Oscar Best Director, is in your pocket, I will grab it for you." ”

With such confidence, you can't find two in Hollywood, Scorsese put his heart in his stomach again, mixed Hollywood for 30 years, he is very a little golden man to prove himself, the four famous directors in the eighties, only he has not won a golden man, just won a consolation prize, a lifetime achievement award, and George Lucas, the tyrant of the galaxy, does not need to use this little golden man to prove himself, every Star Wars has become a box office nuclear bomb is the best proof, and no one has ever dared to pack tickets to him like this, he can't help but feel at ease.
