Martin Scorsese, a contemporary realist film director, he is a truly prolific director, a representative of the Hollywood generation of directors, his works are often about these themes, the identity of the Italian-Americans, sin and redemption in the Catholic sense, the violent problem of American society, etc., he is recognized as one of the most influential film directors in the post-war period, winner of the Cannes Palme d'Or and the Berlin Golden Bear, and a world-class film master.

As early as the 80s, he was known as one of the four famous directors of the 80s along with Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg, and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Director four times.

Mark is full of respect for this industry bigwig, Scorsese has worked in Hollywood for nearly three decades, but has never made a "blockbuster" for commercial purposes. While Lucas and others rely on hundreds of millions of dollars and computer stunts to attract audiences, they have always calmly dissected all kinds of stubborn diseases of society and human beings with their own unique perspective and films; in the environment of Hollywood, which only advocates commercial results, they have always insisted on their own will, spared no effort to pursue the exploration of film language, and is a true master who loves movies.

And Mark, he knows that in terms of movies, he can't compare with this one in any way, in terms of box office, Mark may surpass him, but in terms of film art and feelings, Mark is hard to follow.

Now Scorsese and Xiao Lizi, a pair of Oscar disappointments, have been together for three years and have started a bumpy Oscar journey.

Mark was polite to talk to Scorsese, one of them is a colleague, the owner of a film company, the other is a top director, and the two sides still have many common languages.

Mark talked for a while, left each other's business cards before leaving, and Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Scorsese: "Thank you!"

Scorsese and Little Plum are like-minded friends, and he says, "The king has put a lot of pressure on you!"

Xiao Lizi said bluntly: "This guy is a hero, a ruthless hero, if you deal with him for a long time, you will feel his pressure." ”

Scorsese thought to himself, "Who would mess up a relationship like you!" and he said, "If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have achieved this at such a young age." "He's a master of art films, but he doesn't look down on commercial films, and he doesn't naively think that making a box office hit is easy.

An old fritter like him, who has been in the circle for 30 years, understands the same thing, if there are not so many profitable commercial films, the film industry will not prosper, and the film company will be stuck in the money bag and make a fart art film.

On tonight's Oscar night, Mark met a lot of people, such as Brad Pitt and his wife, and Pete took the initiative to greet his sweetheart wife Aniston.

Mark didn't understand, Pete didn't like the beautiful, beautiful, gentle and lovely Aniston, but he took Julie, in addition to being good looking and having a chaotic private life, Julie is also an open lesbian, which is staggering, this is really a green vegetable and turnip, each has its own good.

Mark chatted with Pete for a few words and said, "I took a fancy to a movie launched by Xiangjiang, called "Infernal Affairs", and I was trying to buy their adaptation rights, but it was bought by Plan B, can it be transferred to me?"

Plan B Film Company is a company invested by the Pitts, and it has a good momentum of development, but last year's "Troy" invested by Warner was vomiting blood, and it is shrinking its business and is recovering.

Mark has invested in many movies, never missed, is already a recognized investment master in Hollywood, and some people even say that as long as it is a project that Mark likes, his value will immediately double, Pete is a smart person, he immediately said: "This is embarrassing, our company is preparing to start this project, please forgive me for not being able to cut love." ”

"It's a shame," Mark said. ”

"But I have a certain gap in our company's funding, and I think we can work together," Pete said. ”

The Plan B film company is a production company and has no distribution capacity and distribution channels, while MM has a distribution channel covering North Mi, which is a benefit of being rich and powerful, and MM has come from behind and completely surpassed the Plan B company.

Mark said cheerfully, "OK! Robert will talk to you." ”

Robert is Igger's nickname.

Pete is very envious, you see the style of others, with the chairman of a large group and a large company as the CEO, it is really terrifying, he is full of expectations for being able to cooperate with MM who has a winning record.

This kind of party is a great time to expand contacts, few people come to eat, drink and dance, the arrival of a large number of media allows female stars to have more opportunities to show themselves, the popularity of female stars determines popularity, and popularity often determines the amount of endorsement and salary, Mark brought fifty business cards, which were not enough, and he received more than 100 business cards.

What made Mark happiest was that Scorsese introduced the elf queen Cate Blanchett to him, and Blanchett introduced Peter the Great, a fat New Zealand man who also came to join in the fun, to meet them, dealing with so many bigwigs, Mark felt that it was worth the trip, MM has successfully expanded, and there will be a broader stage in the future, and there will be more opportunities to deal with these people.

Mark didn't leave until three o'clock, and it was late at night, so he and Giselle simply opened a room in a nearby hotel to rest, and didn't have to travel all the way home.

This week, because there is the ultimate event in the entertainment industry, the Academy Awards version of the awards party, many people choose to watch TV at home, and tomorrow's newspapers and TV are also about the Academy Awards and Oscar night party, so that the number of moviegoers has dropped sharply, "Wedding Proud Guest" only won 35 million US dollars at the box office this week, but it has successfully exceeded 150 million US dollars, and is hitting 200 million.

It has a good mouth, all romantic comedy movies have tenacious vitality, and can be screened for a long time, such as "The Notebook" has been screened for half a year, and it is still in theaters, with a box office of more than two million dollars a week, and seven or eight million dollars a month, who would give up easily?

It is generally believed in the industry that "Wedding Aoke" can break 250 million in Beimi, plus overseas copyrights, DVD sales and rentals, MM's income in a movie will be more than 200 million, which is a figure that giant companies envy and hate.

It's rare for Giselle to come to visit, Mark put down all his affairs, and played with her for two days, and now he doesn't care about the specific details, but more in the general direction, such as cooperating with Plan B in "Infernal Affairs", he only gives the other party a word, and Iger will do it.

Mark knows that if he doesn't let go, he can't get out of the heavy work affairs and do what he likes to do and is good at doing, he is not good at managing and running the company, but because of the golden finger, he takes the lead everywhere when deciding the company's major events, he also knows what movies can be made and what movies can't be made, and the nascent MM needs more and more brilliant victories to support their rapid development.

This time, it will be evenly distributed to Mark, and it will raise about 7.5 billion, which is a huge pressure on the three Wang brothers and sisters whose actual assets do not exceed 1.5 billion, but the huge victory of "Marriage Proud" makes David, a relatively conservative person, think it is feasible.

Iger is also a low-key person, he has 10% of MM's equity, he said that he will raise 1.5 billion funds to join this operation, and the company's employees will be 10% of the incentive equity, diluted proportionally, Meghan's side will also raise nearly 6.5 billion funds, the pressure is not small.

Mark has investigated many classic battles of leveraged buyouts, and some of them are Viacom's Lei Shidong, who has made repeated moves to build a media empire with a market value of 80 billion yuan in 20 years.

Far away, on February 29, 2000, Hong Kong Pacific Century Digital Power repelled its rival Singapore Telecom, and reached an acquisition agreement with Hong Kong Telecom's largest shareholder, Great Eastern Telegraph in the United Kingdom, to fully acquire the equity of Hong Kong Telecom, involving 300 billion Hong Kong dollars (30 billion US dollars), becoming the largest telecommunications merger and acquisition activity in Asia and the largest acquisition since the opening of Hong Kong Port, which caused a sensation in Asia.

In May 99, Yingke Development Chairman Li Zekai Xiaochaoren put forward the development plan of Hong Kong, successfully acquired Dexinjia and took this listing, renamed Yingke Digital Power, after the backdoor listing, the stock price soared from the original 0.68 Hong Kong dollars to 9 Hong Kong dollars, and rose to the level of 20 Hong Kong dollars in February 20000, less than a year, the market value of Yingdong soared to 220 billion Hong Kong dollars (22 billion US dollars), and its assets include Cyberport, which is still under development, and the global computer business British assets, including the still in the development of Cyberport, Tel cooperation broadband network and other network companies, although the market value of Yingdong is large, but there are not many substantial profitable businesses, the market value of the water and bubbles, perhaps only the Li family and father and son know.

The market value of Yingdong has exceeded 580 billion Hong Kong dollars, ranking among the three major market capitalization lists of the Hong Kong Special Economic Zone, but its stock price has fallen repeatedly in the past two years, and its market value has "evaporated" 550 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Superman is supported by a super dad who is the richest man in China, and his dad is also a shareholder of HSBC, they can get enough funds from the bank for the acquisition, Mark They have almost the same conditions, Superman can play, why can't they, they have both the relationship of the bank family, and the support of super companies like Oracle Group, they have the ability to carry out a perfect leveraged buyout, so Mark is eager to try and ready to go.

Thank you to the local tyrants, the happiest thing is that you are fatter than me for the reward, thank you for the show, the Commonwealth.
