Chapter 112: Struggle

Perry and Brin were very dissatisfied with the transfer of so much equity to the Wang siblings trust fund, which was almost ripe and let people pick them, but the other party was too strong to refuse, and they made a request, if the other party did not agree, they would rather go bankrupt than sell, which was to give them two board seats, but not to interfere with the management and operation of the company.

Mark agreed, but there was a request, without their consent, even the board of directors could not dilute their shares, they would raise funds according to the financing situation, in exchange for the other party's consent, Gu Ge had to agree to their request, so that the two parties reached an agreement and officially signed.

On the books, Sequoia Capital is making a lot of money, the 20 million investment a few years ago has brought them several times the return, they are not only profitable on the books, but also have a large number of equity in their hands, no matter from that aspect, it can be called a successful investment, no loss of money, the board of directors will not accuse them of anything, Mark asked Sophia to find a director for him, for those who are capable and trustworthy, there are almost no people available under him.

Mark and they signed a contract and immediately returned to San Francisco, while Donald returned to Philadelphia, Mark and his crew had to prepare for the HSD trip, in fact, producer Nick had already made a lot of preparations for this, and had already sent people over in advance, rented the filming venue, hotel, and when filming the location, the logistics of eating, drinking, and Lazar were particularly important.

This time, they will also shoot at the Lincoln Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Meghan has applied to the relevant authorities, and it was quickly approved, but they were filmed after 7 o'clock in the morning and open to the public at 9 o'clock, only two hours a day, and they had to leave immediately after 9 o'clock, and it was only three days, which was very tense.

However, as soon as Mark returned to Los Angeles, he heard some bad rumors, about the hero and heroine, there were tabloids reporting that Heath had been taking drugs and was addicted to drugs, and Rachel was a supporter of the red sofa, and the characters of "Mean Girl", "Love Notebook" and "The Hangover" fell asleep.

Heath is a brave man, and he directly admitted when interviewed by reporters: "Yes, I have a history of drugs, but now I have quit, and I will participate in the mutual sincerity meeting every week, and I haven't touched it for a long time." “

Heath dares to admit it because this is very common among young people, but as long as he dares to admit it, he knows his mistakes, and the prodigal son is accepted by the public, like Keanu Leeves and John Depp, a pair of friends who have recently become popular, were Taoist friends before, and became popular after successful drug rehabilitation, but one thing is true, there has never been a superstar who both admits drug use and is popular, even if there is, it is because it has not been disclosed.

Rachel's question is relatively troublesome, once this accusation is confirmed, it will be a stain, despised by the world, excluded by peers, Mark asked Meghan about it, Meghan said: "I talked to Rachel, Kevin invited her to play the heroine of "Batman", this invitation is after she confirmed to join "Wedding Aoke", and to take over this role, she must resign from "Wedding Aoke", and gossip followed. ”

Mark said, "Kevin!" Could this be the beginning of a break with Warner?

Meghan said: "The meaning of the suppression is obvious, I think Warner did it, leave this matter to me, I will teach this tabloid a lesson, Oracle has many acquaintances in the IRS, just after the tax day, these tabloids happened to be randomly selected, focus on the investigation, this is normal, I know that Warner Bros. and Citibank have a lot of loan applications, it should not be difficult for Sophia to drag on for a while, if they have a big hit on the street, immediately lower their credit rating, and I will arrange for Rachel, Nick and you to do a talk show to refute this kind of statement." ”

Mark said: "It's handled well, it's calm, it's appropriate, and it's a strong woman." ”

Megan said: "I'm worried that if I'm so tough, it will attract a comprehensive counterattack from Warner, and we must be the ones who will suffer, even with the support of Oracle and Sophia, it is still us who will suffer, and Warner is the head snake." ”

Mark said: "You can rest assured, whether it is Barry or Kevin, they are just professional managers, they are all part-time workers, and the board of directors will not allow them to act rashly, but we can test them first and start with these tabloids, if Warner does not forgive and continue to make trouble, we can't let others take responsibility, and then it's not too late to show their muscles." ”

Megan said: "These two guys, too stingy, do you want us to work for him all the time?

Mark said: "I guarded against them when signing the contract, we have someone to follow up and supervise, if they dare to do ghosts, it will face the wrath of Hanhe Law Firm." ”

Megan said: "This is such a reality, there is no use value, immediately swords against each other, if it weren't for our background, we would have been killed by them a long time ago, these greedy vampires." ”

Mark said: "Tomorrow I will lead the team to HSD to shoot the location, and you will be in charge of the company." ”

Megan said: "Ok! You can rest assured, I will not let our company and our people be bullied." ”

As soon as Mark wanted to say a few words, Caroline pushed the door in and said to Mark, "You should watch the entertainment news, Fox's Entertainment Online," she said as she turned on the TV.

The TV was showing an interview with Leonardo by an Entertainment Online reporter who asked Leonardo about his conflict with Mark at the Star Flag Six Restaurant.

Leonardo said: "It's just a misunderstanding, the so-called conflict between me and Mark is just the result of the media making trouble and hype, I appreciate Mark's talent very much, especially "This Man is from Earth", very individual, very creative, I hate that I didn't encounter such a good script at that time, the good news is that I saw "Batman: The Time of War" It's a great script, with personality and depth, and I said to my agent at the time, Bruce Wayne, I'm done, I'm the new generation of Batman, and I'm looking forward to this collaboration. ”

The reporter said: "But Mark has withdrawn from the "Batman" project because of creative differences, and there are such rumors that Warner executives have commissioned the legend to write the drama of "Batman", and it is rumored that it was because of your intervention that Mark was kicked out of the door, what do you think of this?"

Leonardo said: "This is a baseless slander and attack, how could I do such a thing? But I understand that facts speak louder than words, and any statement is pale in the face of facts, I am just here to make my position clear, I will only appear in "Batman: Time to War" directed by Mark, and will never accept other people's versions." ”

The reporter was a little surprised and excited, and he asked, "But Mark has withdrawn from the project." ”

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'll quit too!" After speaking, he waved to the reporter and walked away in style.

Megan turned off the TV and said strangely, "What does this little white face mean?

Mark said: "Maybe he didn't want to squeeze me out, but he wanted to embarrass me more." ”

Meghan said angrily: "Does he really think that we can't do anything about him?"

Mark said: "This guy is a smart man, he doesn't hit the smiling man, is he dealing with you? he is helping you, admiring you, what can you do to him? Beat him and scold him? ”

Meghan said: "I'm sure he has ulterior motives, there must be other tricks." ”

Mark said: "I have the same opinion, but now I can only see one step at a time." ”

Leonardo, this guy, is one of the few people in Hollywood who is very popular, except for being lustful and lustful, there are almost no shortcomings, that is, he changes his girlfriend quickly, and he breaks up peacefully, and he will not turn against each other like other couples, scold each other, accuse each other, and after the girlfriends break up, most of them go further in their careers, this is called Wang girlfriend, it is said that this is the reason why countless beauties know that he is lustful, but they also rush forward one after another.

In the eyes of the film company, this guy is an actor with strong appeal, high popularity, and outstanding acting skills, and more importantly, others keep their duty, are not greedy, and are not like other superstars, who are involved in producers, DVD dividends, Tom Cruise for "Spy on the Spy" series, I had a falling out with Paramount, and even Lei Shidong, the tycoon, was so angry that he scolded his mother, compared to Leonardo's lustful problem, it was really insignificant, and if there were problems in these aspects, the film company would settle it for him, so he ate very openly, and he could straighten his waist and speak in Barry.

But when Kevin saw the news, he was really angry, I took off my pants for you, you show me this?

Kevin immediately called Leonardo's agent Simon and scolded him to the core, Simon is a good-natured person, and he is also a only stubborn person, he waited for Kevin to finish scolding, and then said: "Leo is a person who can do whatever he wants, he will ask me beforehand? I can't make decisions for him, I don't know all this earlier than you." ”

Kevin said, "What did Leonardo think, how could he do this?

Simon said: "Leo is a man who does what he says, his appreciation for Mark does not stop at talking, but really, he really wants to work with Mark, you are misunderstanding what he means." ”

Kevin's anger welled up from his heart, all Hollywood is a good person, only me Kevin is a bad person, he said: "Leonardo makes me passive. "It's not just passive? It's embarrassing, I want to go back and beg Mark, it's like raising my ass and begging someone to do it, the most embarrassing thing is that they just finished MM, and they hacked Heath and Rachel fiercely, as long as Mark is not stupid, I know who did it, with the second generation of Mark Fu, the temper of the eldest young master, will give him a good face? This is equivalent to a large company bowing to a small company, and peers will die of laughter.

Simon said, "I'm sorry!"

Kevin said, "I don't want to be sorry, Leonardo has to retract his remarks.

Simon said: "Leo fired N unsatisfactory agents, I don't want to be the next one, I'm just a part-time worker, and the main task is to serve Leo well." ”
