Now Mark is proud, "Iron Man" does not have many selling points now, fans of comics alone are not enough to drive the movie to sell, for a blockbuster with a production and distribution cost of more than 130 million, Beimi plus overseas markets can make a difference, and now with his reputation in Hollywood for several years, he is regarded as a big crocodile, and other blockbusters have retreated when determining the schedule, it can be said that Mark has become a rare director with appeal in Hollywood.

According to media analysis, the blockbusters that can pose a threat to "Iron Man" are "Ice Age 2" and "Professional Secret Service 3" in the early stage, and Warner's blockbuster "Poseidon" in the later stage, but the Colombian super blockbuster "The Da Vinci Code" came a week later, and MM vowed to perform in May.

This year is the year of MM's recognized strength, the top ten blockbusters of the year, they account for three, and they are quite reliable three, "Iron Man" has the blessing of Mark who has never missed; "The Da Vinci Code" has Tom Hanks and Ron Howard teamed up; and "007 Casino Royale", hanging the sign of 007, will definitely not lose, it depends on how much you earn, how much you earn, by these good news, the stock of Columbia rose slightly.

After signing in New York, Mark returned to Los Angeles after a day of stay, and plunged headlong into the crew's editing room, first cutting out two versions of the trailer, and then editing the feature film with peace of mind.

When Mark stayed in the editing room and edited "Iron Man" with peace of mind, MM TV network and MM official website began to announce in a high-profile manner that they would hold the "Supernova" variety show.

According to the data summarized from all over the country, in just three days, the number of people who signed up for the competition has reached 10,000, among which there are many well-known celebrities, they are coming for this rich prize, MM TV network entertainment channel conducted a live interview throughout the whole process, very lively, the event official and folk uploaded a large number of videos to YouTube, gained a lot of attention, and the click rate is rising.

The headline in the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times commented: "This is a national audition for King Mark! Everyone wants to be the one who succeeds." ”

Mark said in an interview with the reporter: "MM Group will invest in the production of 25 films in the next three years, six of which are A-level productions, more than 300 episodes of TV dramas, we are reserving talents for the future, which can be understood as an open, transparent, and interactive talent show that allows the audience and netizens to interact and participate, which is an opportunity for us or those who are interested in a film career." ”

The reporter asked: "As a well-known director, will you use these new actors?"

Mark said: "Once you win the audition, you will be a member of the Mark Gang, of course it will be prioritized, and I am also auditioning for "Twilight"!"

As soon as this news came out, it was equivalent to hitting a thousand waves with one stone, Mark is also auditioning for his new film, which also means that he will serve as the director or producer of "Twilight", now Hollywood, except for those top superstars, who doesn't want to star in Mark's movies, this big man has never missed, and the actors who work with him will benefit a lot, and their worth has increased to varying degrees, David Lee, Heath, Downey, Rachel, Scarlett is known as the most promising person in the younger generation.

And with the resources and strength of MM Group, it is easy to hold a few people out, so that more people sign up and receive more attention, many people think that this is a group of variety shows that are bound to be popular, and may be the next idol of the United States.

"Supernova" has not yet started, and the variety shows of other major TV stations immediately feel the pressure, in this era of entertainment to death, who does not have a star dream, how many young men and women go to Los Angeles or New York with star dreams every year, once this success wins, it will be a great opportunity for fame and fortune to realize their dreams, and directly become the hero and heroine of Mark's new film, this attraction is unparalleled.

It's not that other TV stations haven't thought about this kind of program, but not every TV station can play such a big scene, and there must be a super director like Mark, a massive amount of resources, prizes, and investment and promotion at any cost to be able to afford it, otherwise it is no different from a general talent pageant, and it can't stir up a little waves, and it can't attract any attention.

In the minds of many people with dreams, auditions are the avenue of stars leading to their dreams, but the road to audition is so competitive, the road is so bumpy, and full of mystery, it is completely a seller's market, the will and choice of the auditioners have become the decisive factor, often a momentary joy and dislike, determining the fate of people with dreams, and the rumored dirty red sofa, now open and transparent, which not only unveils the mystery of this audition road, but also joins the audience vote, netizen interaction and online judges, etc., which is the maximum fairness, and can be regarded as a civilian star who comes out of ordinary people。

For many people, it is even more lively and sensational than the spring enrollment of various performing arts colleges, even if you are admitted to the acting departments of major colleges, after a few years of study, whether you can find a job is a problem, and from the victory of "Supernova", you will immediately get a huge bonus, and more importantly, you will get the opportunity to sign a contract and star in a movie.

Among the judges of the show, there are Martin Scorsese, Mark Wong, Ron Howard, Sam Raimi, Martin Cambenin, Michael Bay, Jon Favreau, Hank, Nick, etc., who is not a well-known character in the industry, if they look at it, it will benefit a lifetime!

Allen publicly stated on "The Ellen Show": "This is a shortcut to the Walk of Fame!"

The Hollywood News said: "MM uses the national draft to recruit and reserve talents for itself, which may become a new way to select talents." ”

The addition of Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, and Sam Raimi is the result of Iger's full persuasion, and as a judge, in addition to these directors and producers, many well-known actors will join, and this strong and luxurious lineup makes this show the most anticipated show.

The country is divided into 16 competition areas, the registration and venue is 16 TV stations directly under MM, in the early audition, there is no threshold, and there is no charge, its audition, competition, promotion method is similar to "Rice Idol", it is a talent competition, layer by layer promotion, elimination, "Rice Country Idol" is based on singing and dancing, and "Supernova" is performance-based, it can also be role-playing, because they are afraid of copyright disputes, they are recommended to play the role of MM series of film and television works.

However, as soon as the registration began, many people complained on the Facebook page of Mark: "There are too few places to register, there are only 16 places in the country, many applicants come from other places, many people have to come from other states, and the fare, accommodation and food money are all problems, and the constraints of these factors make it impossible for many enthusiastic applicants to participate."

There were also complaints that they were Canadians, who were also interested in acting, but were not able to compete, which was a pity.

Who knew that Mark was also online, and it was a second reply: "This is just the appeal of some people, right? If this article is liked by a million people, I will promise to solve this matter!"

……

As a result, within two days, this message had more than a million likes, and Mark had no choice but to say: "I have negotiated with the CEO, and a new solution will be introduced!

Soon MM official website and TV network announced a new way to register and expand the competition area, they postponed the registration date, the competition area expanded to 50, the basis is to add MM affiliated TV stations, the radiation range is all over the country, and the base is to keep one per state, no need to register across states, and those who pass the first audition, will receive a certain amount of compensation for the cost of living expenses, and they will accept participants from all over the world to register, however, they do not have a registration office overseas, you can register online, auditions and primary auditions can be conducted online, after obtaining the official qualification, the organizer will provide round-trip air tickets and accommodation costs。

With this kind of humanized setting, the majority of contestants and audiences are enthusiastic and full of praise for MM, and more people with dreams have enthusiastically signed up for the competition.

In fact, there is a golden finger, to discover talents is a trivial matter for Mark, make a list, make a few phone calls can attract a large number of people who will become popular in the future, there is no need to take off their pants and fart like this, but in this way, you can not only produce a super profitable ace TV show but also discover talents, it's another matter.

MM TV network through this trump card program, strengthen themselves, improve ratings, and Mark fancy the talents, also one by one income, but also save the cost of packaging and promotion, the initial investment is huge, but the follow-up income will be relatively good, why Iger repeatedly increased investment, expand the area, is because it is profitable.

The income of the TV station is only advertising and DVD revenue, and the advertising cost of the original MM TV network is extremely low, and there are few big-name advertisements, but with the launch of "Supernova", the advertising fee is rising, and major brands are vying to enter, and the second season of "Grey's Anatomy" is confirmed to be broadcast on the whole TV network on January 15, and the advertising fee has reached the peak moment of the original B TV station.

No wonder some people will say that ratings are everything, for the sake of ratings, major TV stations have done their best, "Grey's Anatomy" is also a big advertisement, in addition to replaying the first season of nine episodes, the trailer is broadcast on a rolling basis, and several leading actors frequently appear on TV and major variety shows and talk shows for promotion.

They also bundled promotion with "007: Casino Royale", and the advertisements were all overseas, and a TV series had such a huge momentum, only a limited number of "Lost", "CSI" and "Prison Break", and Iger even said that it was because of the popular series such as "Grey's Anatomy" that he had the idea of acquiring the TV station.
