When Kayla accidentally saw this magazine, she said to Mark in surprise: "Brother, you robbed the money?"

Mark read the headline, he was very proud, he wanted to blow to the reporter: "It's not a robbery, it's better than a robbery." However, such arrogant words can only be lustful in the heart, and David gave him a motto: "Humility benefits, full of losses." ”

Mark stroked her lovely soft blonde hair and said lovingly, "Yes, so we can go to Disney and have fun as much as we want, and eat whatever we want?"

Kayla was overjoyed, jumped on the sofa, kissed Mark a few times, and said loudly: "Long live brother, brother is the coolest!"

Mark hurriedly whispered, "Be quiet, let Sophie hear that we can't eat fried chicken and potato chips,"

Kayla hurriedly covered her little mouth, so cute.

Mark said seriously: "We only go to Disney to eat ice and sandwiches, as for junk food such as fried chicken and potato chips, you must let Sophie understand this." ”

Kayla said seriously, "Of course. ”

Mark put down everything on Sunday, drove the BMW X5 and Blake and Kayla to Disney, in order not to be disturbed, he even turned off his mobile phone, this time they went to play the last time they didn't play again, which is very necessary, since the company has been more busy, even to accompany Blake to eat to make an appointment and squeeze time.

Blake's suggestion that he must have a small kitchen in his office is very good, he often stays in the office for half a day, if he can get some food here, it will be more ideal, every day to order takeout, very unaccustomed to eating.

Looking at Kayla and Blake's laughter and happiness, Mark knew that he had made the right decision, that he would never run out of money, and that he had to spend more time with the people he loved the most.

In the evening, he invited Sophia and David to have a good meal at the Hilton restaurant, so to speak, without Sophia's help, he would not have achieved such a rapid and huge success, even Warner's own movie could not be released immediately after filming, and his can, and he gave extremely generous conditions, the reason is that everyone knows, this is the benefit of having a cow B stepmother, Sophia is not a national celebrity, but her influence is national, even the super-rich Larry can't settle the matter, she can do it with a phone call.

Mark is a man of interest, he took out 15% of MM Pictures' shares, and transferred them to Donald and Kayla's trust funds, and the family made a fortune together, and Sophia neither praised nor criticized Mark's kind behavior, but David praised it, he said: "Nothing makes me happier than the love between your brothers and sisters." ”

At this time, Blake's phone rang, today's dinner, of course she accompanied Mark to attend, the phone was called by Tom, he asked Mark to listen to the phone, Mark took the phone, his face was happy, oh oh two and hung up the phone.

Blake asked, "What is so happy?"

Mark sipped red wine, tried his best to suppress his joy and pride, and said: "The results of the second week of "Chainsaw" are out, more than 24 million, second only to the 26 million of "Finding Nemo 2", ranking second, Warner is having a celebration party, they let it pass. ”

David and Sophie applauded together to congratulate her, and even Kayla shouted, "Brother is the coolest!"

Blake immediately kissed Mark and said, "Why don't you go over?"

"There's nothing more important than having dinner with your family," Mark said. ”

Since there is such good news, the content of their conversation is naturally related to this, Sophia said: "Mark, congratulations on the great success of your film, you have a firm foothold in Hollywood, how do you plan for the future?"

Mark: "My goal remains the same, to make "The Hangover" and "Batman" if it does well, it will be a big production series, and the time span will be five or six years. ”

Sophia said, "What if Warner rejects your offer? ”

Mark said: "The backup plan is "Twilight", and the copyright to it is in my hands, so Warner doesn't have to think about it. ”

Sophia raised her glass and said, "I wish you all the best." ”

Mark They finished eating and drove Blake home before rushing to Warner headquarters, because he drank alcohol and hired a taxi, the punishment for drunk driving in California is quite severe, and celebrity drunk driving is regarded as a big scandal.

Mark's team is promoting in various places, they have called Mark to congratulate, the next Tuesday more than 14 million, the box office runner-up, not to mention a small company like MM Pictures, even Warner is also a good result, they have a box office of more than 100 million in a single week, "Harry Potter 1", that is with huge manpower and material resources for publicity, and the investment in publicity and distribution costs is sky-high, like "Chainsaw" This kind of didn't invest much in publicity, all rely on beer to eat, this is a masterpiece and the most ideal, now the cost of publicity and distribution is getting worse, if it is the box office on the street, there are a lot of people crying, every giant company has this time when you want to cry without tears, more than 100 million production costs, tens of millions of publicity costs, and finally the box office can't even get back.

Mark came to Warner, Kevin's assistant was waiting for him at the door, this time it was a celebratory party from Warner's distribution department to celebrate their box office debut, and the owners were busy promoting the film, and they were out of town? They were definitely going to have a party to celebrate, but it had to be after the party.

Kevin meets Mark in the banquet hall, and when Mark walks through the door of the banquet hall, people nod and congratulate him.

Warner is a modern large enterprise, with strict performance review regulations, good grades must be rewarded, poor grades will be punished, like "Chainsaw" is a big hit, naturally they have their internal reward methods, party to reward meritorious people, is one of them, there will also be corresponding cash rewards, behind every blockbuster movie, there are countless people waiting for a share of money, this is a universal celebration.

Kevin was unimpressed with Mark's threat to make "Saw" a series at the beginning, and even a little disgusted, if the series was easy to build, Warner would not have only a few series in his hands, now it is so good at the box office, and more importantly, the beer is excellent, and the audience is addicted to watching it and feel unsatisfied, many people are now calling for a sequel, every big-selling series means a gold mine, and several big-selling horror series under the new line are the most telling.

Kevin really praised Mark, and then talked about "The Hangover", Mark's works, the box office is higher than the other, and even Kevin has something to look forward to for the new work with a production cost of 30 million.

Kevin said: "There are a lot of people who have the idea of Batman now, the well-known producer Darren Aronofsky once planned to make a Batman movie, hired Frank Miller to adapt his graphic novel into a film script, the first draft of the script and storyboard was completed last month, and he tried to lobby Warner to restart the project, but "Batman" The rights are in our hands, and it's unclear whether Warners executives are going to shoot the film, but the plot of the script is partially leaked, Alfred becomes an African-American mechanic, and the Batmobile is a horsepower-enhanced Lincoln, and Bruce Wayne is even homeless. ”

Mark said, "Didn't you say that there are a lot of people who have made up their minds, and what about the other one?"

Kevin said: "The legendary company is touting their new director, Christopher Nolan, and if Warners agrees to a reboot, they will start writing the show. ”

Knowing that "Batman" was a reboot led by Legendary Pictures and was a huge success, Mark said, "Did they impress Barry?"

"They're going board path, and there's a director supporting their plan, but it's blocked by Barry with 'Time to War.'" ”

Mark said, "You mean I succeeded?"

Kevin said: "If "The Hangover" is not messed up, I will try my best to fight for you, if it is messed up, I suggest you exercise more and then make plans, this is a work of more than 80 million US dollars, and Batman is a huge IP, and it is also related to the development of a huge surrounding market, only success, not failure, even Barry is cautious, even the legend promised a global box office guarantee of 400 million US dollars, which can't impress Barry." ”

Mark said, "What does he think?"

Kevin said: "Your script is well written, but education and qualifications are hard flaws, and the only way is to speak with grades, but it's not enough." ”

Mark said confidently: "Believe me, my chips are no less than those of the legend, and I can assure you that the production funds can be borrowed from the bank, and if it is a cooperation with the legend, there will be no such favorable conditions." ”

Kevin's eyes lit up and said: "This is your big bargaining chip, in fact, there are many people on the board of directors who have a good impression of you, you took the initiative to use "The Hangover" to snipe "The Passion of the Christ", you have high political awareness, commendable courage, and you are a material that can be made, but the qualifications and academic qualifications are hard injuries, and they are not enough to take charge of Gotham Town, you need to hand over a more perfect report card, so I can fight for you." ”

Mark said: "Legendary Pictures has their advantages, I have mine, I have a request, given the good cooperation we have in the past, whether it's 'This Man Is From Earth' or 'Chainsaw' has brought great profits to Warner, especially 'Chainsaw', it's a series, you know what that means, my request is not to make a decision lightly until 'The Hangover' is out." ”

Kevin said, "You have a lot of faith!"

"I have a lot more faith in it than 'Chainsaw,' and the comedy has an audience base that horror films can't match, and I'm going to surprise people again," Mark said. ”

Kevin said, "Do me a favor, I have an old friend's daughter, she studied drama, she just graduated, I want you to give her a role in 'The Hangover'." ”

Mark said: "No problem, but it's better to try out before arranging." ”
