Chapter 461: Marriage Change

After several rounds of offers and haggling, the Viacom Board of Directors formally agreed to Paramount's proposal to sell PUN to MM for $5 billion, and MM's Board of Directors formally agreed to acquire PUN for $5 billion.

The two sides held a joint press conference to announce this major positive news to the public in the United States, because it is a "win-win" good news, and the stock prices of both sides have risen slightly.

This merger does not include the TV variety shows produced by PEN TV network in the past, and its copyright is owned by CBS, a subsidiary of Viacom, but MM has the broadcast rights for three years, and after three years, all rights are owned by Viacom.

This transaction is a cash transaction, paid off at one time, which greatly relieves Viacom's tight capital chain, and the MM TV network has doubled its territory and has grown rapidly, and now MM TV network is the fifth largest public TV network in the United States, with ace dramas "Anatomy", "Ugly Betty", "The Big Bang Theory", "Modern Family", etc., as well as the super variety show "Super Nova".

Ten winners were selected for the last superstar, with champions Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson becoming global icons, as popular and appealing as those A-list superstars.

And Megan Fox is the heroine of "Transformers", and with the vigorous promotion and promotion of MM, it is now also very popular.

Now taking advantage of the merger and acquisition of PU, they took advantage of the trend to launch the second season of "Supernova", this time it is to accept the registration of people around the world who are interested in acting careers, they have invested more money in the second season, the scale is larger, and the momentum is no longer under "Mi Guo Idol", it has become the trump card of MM TV network, and the advertising cost is no longer under "Mi Guo Idol".

And now their full name is "Pepsi Super Nova", Pepsi will provide huge sponsorship fees and provide advertising orders, which can be said to be the rise of another ace program.

Mark passed the "Supernova" draft, and successfully became popular with many actors, MM Group's resources are also willing to tilt towards these newcomers, directors are also happy to use these newcomers, now some people jokingly call "Supernova" as the Mark Military Academy, which can continuously explore and provide talents for MM Group, and also earn advertising fees, killing multiple birds with one stone, the most popular among teenagers in the past is "Rice Idol", which has a unique sacred status, it is the road for civilians to become stars, and the road for dreams to become facts, and now there is a new choice.

And his position is higher, the stage is broader, and MM's massive film and television resources provide the possibility for dreams to become reality.

At this time, Mark and MM are proud, but they are not without troubles, and when everything is going well, the news of the marriage of Mark and his brother David Lee came out.

Heath Ledger and Robert Downey Jr.'s popularity and momentum are not below David Lee, everyone has representative works that are popular around the world, Heath does not have the support of super IPs like 007 and "Iron Man", but "The Hangover" and "Wedding Proud" can also prove their strength, and they are the other two in the academy, recognized acting geniuses, but in the Mark Gang, the recognized first brother is still David Lee.

David Lee has been following Mark for the longest time, he came to vote in Mark's first movie, and in the future, as long as it is Mark's work, as long as Mark makes a phone call, he will report immediately, and is now starring in the MM TV ace drama "Grey's Anatomy" Dr. Shepard.

At that time, the president of Netfy, a member of the Hastings family, hit and run, and was angry with Mark and destroyed Netflix to vent his anger, which shows the friendship between them, and David Lee later obtained 5% of Netflix's equity as compensation.

Mr. and Mrs. David Lee have always had a good relationship, Maggie is an An'an housewife, and their daughter Jessica is a rebellious high school girl, Mark did not expect them to get married, but it happened.

The third party who stepped in turned out to be a figure that no one could have imagined, the well-known beauty, Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron.

Mark is a little strange, as a member of Hollywood, of course he knows that Theron, a big beauty full of Hollywood, even if it is a Hollywood full of beautiful women, this Theron's beauty is also the most top-notch, Hawking said that her beauty is cosmic, "Even if the universe is big, you can't date a second Charlize Theron." ”

And Theron is not just a vase with good looks, in the 2004 movie "The Devil", she played a serial female killer, and she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and the 76th Academy Award for Best Actress for her acting skills. She also became the first Oscar-winning actress from Africa, and after she won the award, South African President Mbeki also presented her with a gold brick engraved with the words "Charlize Theron" in recognition of the honor she has won for the South African people.

In 2005, she became the 2,291st star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in the same year, she was nominated for an Oscar again for the movie "Northern Vice".

Mark is lamenting that the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass.

The media lamented that no one can avoid this curse of the actress!

In 2001, Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend met on the set of "Desperate" and began dating, and in 2004, the two collaborated again in the movie "Threesome in Troubled Times", but after Theron won the actress, they were rumored to be the most likely couple to break up, at that time they also said in an interview with reporters that they had enough confidence to face all this, and now they still can't avoid the magic of the queen's curse.

Mark couldn't think of where they had crossed paths, or collaborated, so when David Lee told him about it on the set of The Dark Knight, he was very surprised and surprised.

Mark said: "What does Maggie say, I don't care what you do, how much it costs, you must settle this matter peacefully, there can be no slightest handle for people to catch, you are 007 agent James Bond, you can't have the slightest stain." ”

David Lee said: "I reached a divorce settlement with Maggie, and my property was divided into three parts, Maggie and Jessica had two shares, and paid Maggie $30 million in alimony. ”

Mark said: "You fucking have done a lot of money to redeem your free body, and your loss is nearly 200 million." ”

David Lee's main property is 5% of the shares of Nafy, and now its market value is still 250 million.

Then there is David Lee's salary and share, in addition to buying a mansion and a yacht, he used it for investment, he didn't have any investment vision, he bought MM stocks, his income rose steadily, his assets had already exceeded 100 million, he was the big brother in the Mark Gang, if according to his property distribution plan, his net worth would shrink by sixty percent, and he should be true love if he took out so much money just for a woman.

David Lee said, "I have been married to Maggie for eighteen years, and I will not treat them badly. ”

Mark said: "I will let the company send the best public relations team to assist you, there can be no mistakes in this matter, Louise and the most professional lawyer are in charge, right?"

David Lee frowned, "You doubt my abilities?"

Mark said: "Professional things are left to professional people to do, I don't want to be like the divorce case between Cruise and Pete, which will make the city full of storms, you can film with peace of mind, and the people in the public relations department will teach you how to do it." ”

David Lee said: "I really negotiated with Maggie, she also hired a lawyer, agreed to my plan, this result is good for everyone, we are all free, we can freely pursue our own life, in fact, our relationship crisis has been a year ago, everyone looks good, and now everyone is satisfied with the result." ”

Mark said coldly: "Jesse will not be satisfied." ”

David Lee said: "This kind of problem is very common, almost inevitable in life, and the most hurtful in divorce is the children, but this is a helpless thing, we all have to have our own lives?"

Mark said, "Who is Jesse's custody?"

David Lee said: "It belongs to me, and the villa on Marbury Beach belongs to me, so I have to pay an extra 30 million to Maggie in the case of three points of property, and she can enjoy the glory and wealth in peace." ”

Eighteen years of marriage in exchange for the second half of the life of glory and wealth, there is no right or wrong.

Mark said, "I'll ask Giselle to take Jesse over to live, and Giselle will appease her." ”

David Lee said: "Thank you very much. Jessica has always been a fan of Giselle, listening to her the most, and having Giselle comfort her, there should be no problems, such as the cynicism of divorced children and a strong sense of abandonment.

Mark said, "Is Miss Theron so charming, so that you are willing to worship under the pomegranate skirt, and lose so much money, but also redeem your free body?"

David Lee said, "Oh my God, how dare you ask me that question?"

It's a crow laughing at the pig, Mark's little, among this group of close friends, it's not a secret.

Mark blushed, he was not a good bird, and he really couldn't accuse others on the moral high ground, he said: "It's just chasing after the wind, who has the evidence?"

David Lee laughed, "The proof is in Scarlett's belly, you have to be careful, my friend." ”

Mark said, "Oh my God, how do you know?"

David Lee said: "I am Detective Gordon and Agent 007 that you have cultivated!"

Mark said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will be careful, I am willing to spend 200 million to redeem my body, this is true love, what does Miss Theron think of you paying so much money?"

David Lee said: "He advised me to leave the house. A gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and said, "He just wants me." ”

Mark said: "If this is really the case, you will regret hitting the wall, the future of the flying company, the future is limitless, it will be worth more than MM." ”

When Netflix has a market value of 60 billion, this is equivalent to giving up 3 billion equity, and he will become the first fool in history, of course, Mark will not allow him to do this.
