Mark said abruptly, "Joe!" He was unhappy that Stuart opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and did not leave the next three ways.

Stewart had no choice but to say, "Ok! Let's talk about you at the Kodak Theater, many people think that you did this on Oscar night, you are suspected of blaspheming the Oscars, and there are members of the radical academy who demand to recover all your glory, what do you think?"

Mark said: "The Kodak Theatre has actually been part of MM's property since December 2008, and this is definitely wrong, but it is not blasphemous. ”

Stewart said, "Do you regret doing that?"

"Of course, I paid for it," Mark said. ”

Stewart said: "It's rumored that this video was uploaded by Harvey Weinstein, so you ruined the company in a fit of rage, how do you respond to that?"

Mark said: "The Weinstein brothers fell because they did the wrong thing, and the strategic investment was wrong, not someone else's. ”

"When it comes to investing, you're the one who's been praised by Wall Street, and you've made many investments with great success, and you're going to be the most powerful person in Hollywood when you buy a 10% stake in Time Warner," Stewart said. ”

At this moment, a picture of Lord Black standing above the big letters of Beverly Hills Hollywood appeared on the big screen TV behind him.

Mark said: "This is just a normal investment, not to seek media hegemony, although we are a charitable fund, but also with profit as the first purpose, anything that violates the laws of the market, we will not do, this is just an investment, we will not interfere with the normal operation of Time Warner, let alone change the current pattern of Hollywood." ”

Stewart said: "What is the purpose for you to buy the shares of Time Warner? ”

Mark said: "Martin wants to sell, I'll buy it, you know my love for this industry, many people worry that this will form a media trust, this worry is unnecessary, it won't change anything?"

"But there have been rumors that you will hold all the shares of Time Warner in the hands of the Davis Fund, and in this way, your family foundation will control MM Group and Time Warner, which is the largest trust in the history of entertainment media," Stewart said. ”

"First of all, I want to emphasize that the Wang Family Fund only has a 31% stake in MM, and even if it owns 30% of Time Warner's shares, there is no control over it, and Time Warner's board of directors and shareholders' meetings are not decorations. ”

Stewart said, "Does that mean you're not denying the rumors?"

Mark said: "As long as Martin is willing to sell, I will buy, my ability and expertise are limited to this industry, and I can only develop it with all my might." ”

Stewart said: "It seems that the divorce crisis will not affect you much. ”

"Who said that?" Mark said, "I don't want a divorce, but Giselle insists that it hurts anyone." ”

"Since you've always thought it's your fault, why didn't you give in to Giselle on the divorce settlement, and your lawyer said he had rejected Giselle's request for half of the property," Stewart said. ”

Mark said: "I earn a lot of money, but the income is all in the form of a family fund, which means that the money does not belong to me, but to the family fund, and the annual share from the family fund is mine, and this part is not much, only a few hundred million." ”

Even though Mark is Stewart's boss, he can't help but scold: "This guy is so slippery!"

The Mi Family Fund originated from the wealthy families of the Gilded Age, including Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Mellon, etc., to manage and pass on the family assets.

In terms of purchasing power, these families are the real rich, while the assets of the individual billionaires, such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others, are far behind them. Two centuries later, although these families no longer have super-rich, the total assets controlled by these families are still in the tens of billions. The main reason why these families have been able to pass on for generations is that their family wealth is centrally managed through family funds.

The first family fund in the United States was the Rockefeller family office, which John Rockefeller divided into several parts after amassing a huge oil fortune (worth more than $600 billion in 2008 according to Forbes).

"That is, even if there is no prenuptial agreement, if Giselle insists on a divorce, he won't get much money," Stewart said. ”

"I hope she can forgive me and stay in the family fund and participate in the management of these assets, which is the best outcome," Mark said. ”

Stewart said, "Have you talked to Giselle?"

Mark said: "She refused to talk to me, I haven't seen Martin and Margaret in half a month, it's miserable. ”

Stewart said, "Did you do anything to save your marriage?"

Mark said: "Because Giselle refused to see me, the only way to communicate between us was through a lawyer, so I had to go to church for confession and confession. ”

Stewart said: "This is not enough, it is not official, you should go to the marriage consultation, marriage is a sacred thing, everyone should be cautious." ”

Mark said: "I'm not the one who wants a divorce. ”

Stewart said, "It's you who cheated. ”

Mark said: "You seem to have forgotten who paid the salary. ”

Stewart said: "You're my boss, but you can't change the quality of a scumbag." ”

Mark had no choice but to say, "OK! You make me feel like I'm sitting in the ethics courtroom instead of the Today Show live room." ”

Stewart said: "Let's go back to the topic of the Wang family's acquisition of Time Warner's shares, Time Warner has had problems in recent years, and the market value has not recovered since the Internet technology bubble, what prompted you to decide to invest in it, I mean do you have a plan to make it profitable?"

Mark said: "Who dares to say that investment will be profitable, you only see my successful cases, but not the cases of failure, in general, there are more failures than successes, investing in industry is not investing in the stock market, it is not realistic to get returns in the short term, Time Warner Group has divested the non-performing assets of Mi Guo Online, and the profit income is stable." ”

Stewart said, "You've been preparing for this big move these days?"

Mark said: " This is just one of them, when you have more than 100,000 people waiting for food, you will not let your wallet shrink, in fact, large companies have their difficulties, the box office is increasing year by year, and it can be a historic breakthrough of 10 billion, but the real income of film companies is decreasing year by year, taking Weinstein Pictures as an example, they take the movie box office and DVD market income as the main income, which presents a situation of making ends meet, and the box office is rising, this is because of the surge in currency, according to the data provided by the data company, the number of moviegoers is decreasing year by year. ”

"People need to have fun," Stewart said, "and the disappeared people are gone." ”

Mark held a Pingguo phone and said, "What is this? You'd say it's just a phone, but I can tell you that this can be a mobile terminal where you can watch movies and listen to music. Reading, more and more people choose this way of life and leisure, telecom companies Internet companies are coming back, they compete with Hollywood for the market in the way of streaming media, they are gradually controlling the channel of streaming media and emerging markets, Hollywood's future pattern will change because of this, we ourselves will not change, the market will force us to change. ”

Stewart said, "What's your strategy?"

Mark said: "We can't compete with telecom companies for channel advantages, but in terms of content, they can't compete with us, we plan to expand the advantages in content production, integrate more resources, produce more content, small profits but quick turnover, and vigorously develop the surrounding market, open theme parks and big worlds, so that online and offline synchronization, leisure and entertainment life integration." ”

Stewart said: "This is true or false, you are not afraid that competitors will know about it?"

Mark said: "This is a country of capital, there are enough resources and capital to do this, at present there are only five major groups with the same resources, maybe under the impact of the market to become the big four or six, who knows? But as the person in charge of the film company, I can't see the current crisis clearly, which will inevitably escape the elimination of the market." ”

Stewart said: "Hehe, although Mark is a film and television producer, he is also a master of investment, and it took six years to build a media empire, which is unprecedented, which is a golden saying!"

Mark said, "That's the prize!"

Stewart said: "You are a master of figuring out the market, which can be seen from your films, you can always make films and television works that are very popular with the audience and the market, how do you do it, once or twice can be said to be luck, three or four times is strength." ”

Mark said: "I am only the head of MM film and television production, it does not mean that all of them are produced by me, we have the best team, there are nearly 10,000 people who serve for this, this is the strength of the collective team."

Stewart said: "Your "The Dark Knight" has swept 1.25 billion US dollars worldwide, this is the fourth blockbuster film to break the global 1 billion, are you still sure to break this record?"

Mark said: "Records are meant to be broken, and if you don't put a little pressure on yourself, you won't have the motivation to move forward." ”

Stewart said: "But the film history record of "Titanic" has been held for ten years!" He means that you cannons can blow it? The record is used to break, people have been waiting for ten years, why don't you break it.

Mark said: "That's James Cameron, the king of the world, and his record is not broken. ”

Stewart said: "You are very suspicious of the explosion on the set?"

Mark said: "Cameron's extreme requirements for movies have made his extraordinary achievements, ten years ago's "Titanic" was a blockbuster that changed the pattern of the film market, and this year's "Avatar" is also, maybe his record can only be broken by himself, but he has a fatal flaw!"

"What's the downside?" said Stewart.
