Mark was very surprised and said, "I thought it would be difficult, I just tried my luck when I came to you." ”

Sophia said: "It's really difficult to get in, but now that you have found the right person, and you have the advantage of political correctness, it is naturally a green light all the way, you are very smart, very good at seizing opportunities, and you can get a lot of convenience by encircling and suppressing the "Passion of the Christ". ”

Mark hesitated, "Is this a compliment?"

Sophia smiled dumbly and said, "You think I'm sarcastic about your flattery and smacks up with the powerful, please, I'm a straightforward person." ”

Mark said embarrassedly: "After a period of time in Hollywood, it is inevitable that I will be tainted with the habit of being high and greedy, and everyone here is both a and a saint." ”

Sophia said: "Seeing that you are learning so fast, I am relieved, I will contact the Las Vegas city government, I have acquaintances there, will cooperate with your work, and also, political correctness brings you not only convenience, but also practical benefits, I talked to the people of the All Rice Jewish Association, they appreciate your volunteerism very much, as a reward, your crew can choose a resort hotel to stay, the accommodation fee is free, only need to pay for the meal, and the meal fee is also 50% off." ”

Mark was pleasantly surprised: "I won the jackpot, which can save a lot of money, thank you very much, you helped me a lot." ”

Sophia said, "The Jews are rewarded by those who help them. ”

Mark said, "Is Caesar's Palace also on the list?"

Sophia said, "Of course!"

Mark felt that the trip was completely worthwhile, to put it mildly, with his connections, he smashed millions of US dollars, and it may not have this effect, so that the most problem in the preliminary preparation can be easily solved, Mark said excitedly: "How should I thank you?

Sophia said: "You are my son, I will do my best to help you with your favor." ”

Mark's heart is warm, since he came to the United States to join his biological father, Sophia has always been good to him, the same as treating Donald, no difference between each other, her gentle love makes Mark feel the warmth of family affection, Mark said: "Anyway, you have helped me so much, I must invite you to dinner." ”

Sophia said, "I won't refuse this." ”

During these days, Mark's main work is to restructure the company, prepare for "The Hangover", and "Oprah Talk Show", and then participate in the school's Homecoming, on the day of Homecoming, he will hold a signing meeting at the school, a media conference, the Homecoming Day of their community middle school is in mid-September, the second week of the fall semester, the Homecoming Festival is a major event in the student days, Blake has been preparing for this recently, Mark has dropped out, and he participated in the name of a well-known alumni.

Mark flew to Chicago on Thursday with Hank Ruby, Meghan and others to participate in the recording of "Oprah Talk Show", and they appeared on "Oprah Talk Show" because of Random Book's public relations, of course, as a best-selling book champion, he also has the qualifications to be on the show.

Mark and the others were led by Hannah, Random House's publicity manager, to Studio One of the Chicago Media Production Center to record the show.

Mark is currently not well-known in the country, not called Ga, the show is written in advance, and then sat on the famous sofa to record in the form of a conversation, the two sides are based on a question-and-answer conversation, mainly to talk about "Twilight" related topics, Mark is very eager to take the opportunity to promote his movie, but as a small Jia, he saw that Oprah did not mention this, and he did not dare to talk about it.

"Oprah Talk Show" has been on the air for 17 years, and has been one of the five ace programs for many years, there is no competitor in the same genre, Oprah has also grown into a media queen, as a black person, and one of the most influential women in the world today, her achievements are multifaceted, through the holding of shares in Harp Entertainment Group, she has mastered more than one billion dollars of personal wealth, and hosted the TV talk show "Oprah Talk Show" , which attracts an average of 33 million viewers a week, and has ranked first in its category for 17 consecutive years, people who like Oprah even think that if she runs for president of the United States, she has a good chance of winning, and the University of Illinois has even opened a course dedicated to Oprah.

In the face of such a bull, Mark is nervous and restrained, and sometimes he stutters a little when he speaks, especially when he reads lines to the reminder board, and often stutters and stops himself.

This made the director's face a little dark, which Mark understands, Oprah's time is extremely precious, so there is so much time to spend with you?

However, Oprah was easy to talk and said: "Mark has no experience in talk shows, it's normal to be nervous, and he is not a professional actor, so he can be forgiven if he can't remember his lines.

Oprah's decision is correct, change to a free talk format, talk about whatever the sea and the sky want, this is obviously a trick, no need to memorize and read the script, Mark is not so nervous, much more calm and confident, speaks fluently, is organized, talks eloquently, and records what the show wants at once.

What they are recording now is not a live show, there is no interaction between the audience and fans, and now "Oprah Talk Show" has the function of a media platform, many superstars promote new movies, singers launch new albums, and they also fall in love with this show for promotion, these activities are paid, like Mark, who is purely on the show because his work is a super big hit, the promotion is always limited, like Mark's In addition to "Twilight", there are many places for discovery, like 20,000 Cheng, 30 million box office, and now it is still in theaters This Man Is from Earth" is very topical, but when Mark pulls it in this direction, Oprah quietly walks around.

The recording took a day and a half to complete, Mark flew back to Los Angeles immediately after the recording, he had to be busy attending the homecoming festival of the community middle school, and Hannah, the publicity manager of Random House, stayed there, waiting to confirm that there was no problem with the version they cut out before coming back, Mark felt that Dobby moved, how to cut it was Oprah's right, this is just an ordinary interview, there is no sarcasm, right and wrong gossip, with Oprah's person, he will not deliberately cut it messily, embarrassing Mark, a newcomer.

Oprah can mix well in the entertainment industry, and she is making money every day because she is exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and she is in all forces, and she is not offended, like Mel. J Pusen, who spent a lot of money to promote his new work "The Passion of the Christ" on the "Oprah Talk Show", was decisively rejected by her, but she didn't offend Mel, the emperor superstar, she just said that her show would not promote bloody and violent things, how could such a smart person mess around?

Mark's community is a well-known community in Los Angeles, the community middle school is very well built, it is a well-known middle school in several nearby districts, the school environment is good, the facilities are complete, the teachers are strong, and the admission rate is high.

There are also a lot of celebrities, millionaires, and multimillionaires in the community middle school, and the school receives a lot of donations every year, and the wall of fame is built tall and brilliant, but it is very rare to be able to toss like Mark, write novels and make movies, and they are all big sellers, so he is invited as a guest, and he must be there, Principal Williams and his teacher, the angry bull Oak, have called to confirm.

Mark had a bad reputation during his time in school, between a bad student and a normal student, he was so popular because of the blockbuster "Twilight" and the movie "This Man is from Earth", of course, his private sponsorship of the cost of the party was also one of the reasons, and the school was to produce such a "civil and military pair" If Mark earns 10 million US dollars, the arrogant Principal Williams will disdain it, but this thing has made a great name in the cultural and entertainment circles, and he eats cultural knowledge, and as a person in the education world, Principal Williams looks at him differently.

Now the school is promoting it like this, the Fox Town Middle School in "Twilight" is based on the community middle school, and many local scenery in the novel correspond to the community middle school, and Niu B's well-known sci-fi film "This Man Comes to Earth" was created during the school, so it can also be called a source of culture.

On the day of the Homecoming, Mark Heng was treated as a star, he did not participate in the garden tour that day, Random House held a grand signing party for him in the school library, and there were actually five or six hundred fans rushed to support, they looked excited, holding flowers and gifts, and some even holding slogans, pulling banners, which said "I love you" or "Mark Mark I love you, like a mouse loves rice" and other explicit and hot slogans, all of which were no less lively than the excitement of the movie star fan meeting.

Especially when Mark and his entourage appeared at the door of the library tube in a BMW SUV, several female fans cried and shouted and came up with flowers in their hands, and they didn't mind Bo offering fragrant kisses, and printed several red and glamorous lip prints on his face, which made Mark so cool that he floated, Brother is not an idol star who eats with his face, but he also has brainless fans.

However, Blake was very unaccustomed to it, and said sarcastically: "More than a dozen big men can't get close to you, but a female student can ** you." ”

Mark said: "Unless that person is you, it is impossible, you must know that these are fans, food and clothing, parents, you can't offend, for the sake of sales, the necessary sacrifices are inevitable." ”

Blake said, "I see you're having fun. ”

Mark explained: "Who doesn't enjoy the fans? I am no exception, this is a glory that has been so hard to have, ha, the weather is nice today, your white dress makes you look like an angel, honey, you wear everything so beautifully, not to model is a loss for the modeling industry?"

Blake grabbed a tissue and said, "Why don't you wipe it off and want to be on TV like this?"
