Megan was a little surprised: "Sophia asked you to buy it, it must be a good thing." ”

This matter is a foregone conclusion, and it can't be hidden, Mark said: "Twenty percent of the shares of Brother Gu's company are shared by me, Donald, and Kayla." ”

Meghan said: "I know Brother Gu, Larry tried to inject capital, but behind it is Sequoia Capital, which refused to inject capital, maybe only the Ronaldson family can make Sequoia Capital succumb." ”

Mark said, "Yes, Sophia is very good to me. ”

Megan said: "The pace of the company can not stop, the funds are solved by me, in the second half of the year, we must shoot movies that belong to MM, just shoot "Saw 2" and "Wedding Aoke", with our ability, it is not difficult to make two movies at the same time, for our new MM, only by continuously launching good works, can investors have confidence in us." ”

Mark said: "Do you want to package MM and go to market?"

Megan said: "You don't have to go public to raise funds, for example, if you need a loan now, there will be banks willing to lend you money, I will officially prepare two films, serve as its producer, and you, as the pillar of the company, will take over at least one of the films if you have already taken over the filming of "Batman". ”

Mark said: "I've already made horror films like "Chainsaw", and I want to try different genres, and romantic comedy will be a good choice, just as a dessert outside of big productions, right?"

Megan glanced at Mark and said: "Guy, "Wedding Proud" is your own son, according to your agreement to write Warner, you will always get limited from filming "Batman", like DVD sharing is impossible, let alone peripherals, so "Batman" is your dream work, just like you finally caught up with your crush's first love, but the real girl is what you need to cherish." ”

Mark said, "I understand!"

Megan said: "And you have to hire two assistants, one is an administrative assistant, the other is a production assistant, I have found several of them, and conduct the initial interview, the materials are placed on your desk, you make the final choice, right? ”

Mark said: "0K!" Whether it is David and Sophia or Blake, Donald has repeatedly reminded him that he must find someone to share some work with him, otherwise he will be busy to death, in "The Hangover" After the big sale, he had a lot of invitations, and after announcing that he was taking over Gotham Town, his phone calls did not stop, this is a huge production, and there are countless people who want to get a piece of it, and now the crew has not yet been established, but the five major brokerage companies have been constantly recommending their talents and actors to him, and all kinds of information are piled up on his desk.

So Mark immediately notified all several candidates for interviews, and in terms of administrative assistants, he selected an alumnus of the Wharton School who graduated from the Donald School of Business, named Caroline, who graduated with honors this year, she is not good-looking, but she is a female student with two degrees in business administration and financial accounting, Donald said that she is very capable and an elite.

Mark interviewed for a while, talked a few words, felt that people don't look annoying, and the conversation was speculative, so he decided to choose her, Donald is a person with a very high vision, he will not recommend people casually, there is no problem with her resume, all A, he has interned at Goldman Sachs, the internship results are average, for administrative management, Mark doesn't know much, he asked a few questions casually and passed, it is worth mentioning that this is the worst appearance and figure among the candidates, and the other few are qualified to be actors and models, such a beauty is placed by his side, Mark asked himself if he can sit still, in order not to affect his work, he decided to find a small attractive。

Mark's production assistant is called Billy, a graduate of the University of Southern California Film School majoring in production, who has been an intern in the company for more than two months, and has been helping Hank.

And Mark's old partners Hank and Ruby have risen in value because they have followed Mark to three consecutive victories, and they are responsible for the two of them by Meghan to form the crew and produce "Saw 2", Hank is the producer, and Ruby is the director, which can be regarded as a mixed up.

It is worth mentioning that among the newcomers who came to apply for Mark's assistant, there was a man named Wen Ziren from the Film School of the University of Melbourne, Australia, Mark knew that this guy was a cow, and he took away his scenery, otherwise he would have become popular this year, Mark knew that this guy was a talent, so he didn't keep him as an assistant, but appointed him to be "Saw 2" The assistant director of the crew, who is fully responsible for assisting director Ruby, does not understand that Mark is so important to use a foreign graduate, but this is the decision of the big boss, and no one dares to disagree.

Now that the box office of "The Hangover" has dropped significantly, Mark's job has become relatively easy, no need to go out to promote the movie, he went to Warner to sign a contract, and officially obtained Warner's authorization to prepare and form the "Batman" crew, he is the producer and director, Kevin and Tom are the same producers, and they form the big three of the crew, they have set up a crew account, as long as the money is available, they can officially prepare, and they will set aside a special area in Warner's huge studio to set up a production center.

Warner's studio is the largest studio in North Milan, which is expanded on the basis of the original Hollywood eight huge Thunderbolt companies, which can accommodate more than a dozen crews at the same time, and is one of the important industries of Warner Bros.

For the production of "Batman", Warner Studios was the first choice, and all the indoor scenes would be set up here.

As soon as "Batman" was confirmed to be restarted, it immediately became a sensation in Hollywood, which is undoubtedly a big production, the main force in the summer file competition, and the most concerned in the Hollywood industry is who stars Batman.

Hollywood's convention, action movies love to use muscle numbers, literary films love melancholy and emotional faces, and superhero blockbuster actors must be handsome, like Tobey Maguire in "Spider-Man", Hugh Jack in "X-Men", this is a must, and only Heath Ledger and Mason can meet this condition under the Mark Gang.

Mark publicly expressed his appreciation for Heath, was very satisfied with his acting skills and personality, and invited him to audition, but Heath has made it clear that he is not interested in "Batman" and will not participate in the audition, Mason is handsome and handsome, but he has a lot of bad reviews in "The Hangover", accused of bad acting skills, and a handsome face, Mark did not send him an invitation to audition, so it is imperative to hire mercenaries, which can be said to be the first fat in Hollywood, and the five major agencies are trying their best to promote their artists to Mark.

Today, Mark came to Warner for a meeting with Kevin, which is also one of the important topics.

Kevin suddenly asked, "Who are you going to play Bruce Wayne?"

Mark said: "I'm bullish on Christian Bale, Jude Law, Affleck and Matt Damon. "Although there is a perfect version of the reference, and I already have a plan in mind, it is better to follow the process.

Kevin said, "What do you think of Leonardo?"

Mark said: "I personally think that Xiao Li can't win the Oscar, probably because his personal style is too heavy, no matter who he plays, he can't cover his own characteristics, just like some high-value stars, they tend to wear clothes without characteristics, but mediocre-looking supermodels can make their clothes look better, from "Growing Pains" to "Growing Pains", to "Different Sky", which was highly acclaimed, and then to the famous "Titanic", Xiao Li went all the way, but if he became famous "Titanic" For the sake of watershed, Xiao Li's works in the first half seem to be interpreting his rebellion, and the second half is interpreting his own indulgence, and there are not many breakthroughs to speak of. ”

Kevin said: "This is a misunderstanding of many people about him, many people think that he got the role of Jack because he is handsome, in 93, Leonardo participated in the filming of "It's Better to Start Again", partnered with Robert De Niro, in the film played a teenager who was abused by his stepfather, extremely depressed and painful, his acting skills received public and media attention, and in the same year, he also starred in "A Different Sky" and was nominated for the 1994 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and in 1995 Leonardo portrayed a drug writer with a strong personality in The Basketball Diaries. He was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and hailed as the "heir to Ravan Phoenix", and in the same year, he co-starred with Kim Hackman and Sharon Stone in the western "Fatal Pleasure", and then he filmed "Total Eclipse Love" and "Marvin's Room" in 1996, in the modern version of "Romeo and Juliet", he created a new "Romeo" Leonardo also won the Best Actor Award at the Berlin Film Festival for this film, and he impressed James Calomon with his acting skills and won the role of Jack. ”

Mark said: "I didn't say that his acting skills were not good, the problem was that he pushed "The Matrix", "Spider-Man" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", he thinks these commercial blockbusters are very brainless and have no depth, the key is that we can't afford to hire him, he is too expensive." ”

"I discussed this with Barry and he said money is not an issue and if Leonardor joins, the company will invest more," Kevin said. ”

Mark felt a little bad and forced a smile: "Didn't Leonardo refuse to act in a commercial blockbuster? There is some unhappiness between me and him, and I will not lobby him, because it will not be successful." ”

Kevin said: "You're wrong, I had a private contact with Leonardo, he read the script, he appreciated it, he thought it was very deep and personal, and he took the role. Seeing Mark's stammering face, he said, "Surprise?"

Mark was surprised, but not happy, with the relationship between him and Leonardo's urine less than a pot, I don't know if it will be a fight in the crew, he can feel that Xiao Lizi is deliberate.
