Chapter 105 New Projects
Mark and they drove to a more famous local bar, Wildcat Bar, where there are the best DJs and trendy decoration, very futuristic sci-fi, very popular with young people, business is very good, usually have to limit the quality of guests, queue up to enter, when Mark led a group of Mark Gang elites into the venue, immediately caused a huge sensation.
At the same time, it also alarmed the boss Max, the hottest team in Hollywood, and the most popular team in the country at present, which is a good thing that you can't please, he immediately asked the waiter to hang up the full house sign, and changed the theme of the dazzling dance night to hangover night.
This is the first time that the whole family of the Mark Gang has appeared in a public entertainment venue, and he actually chose this place, Max was so excited that he was anxious, these gentlemen, why don't you make an appointment in advance? I will also give you a charter and a discount.
"The Hangover" is like a rainbow, like a super blockbuster, quickly assaulting 300 million, without any weakness, whether it is a director or an actor, they have become superstars in one fell swoop, they attend promotional activities in various places, which is a huge sensation, and there are often scenes of crazy fans getting out of control.
When they appeared at the Wildcat Bar, they were immediately spotted by the sharp-eyed DJ, and the spotlight immediately fell on them, and the music and the loud screams of countless men and women just now suddenly fell silent, which is the effect of celebrity superstars.
Heath clapped his hands and said, "What are you doing standing like a stupid bird, the whole world is getting high!" and rushed to the dance floor, David and Zach followed, and the energetic music began to play again, and countless men and women screamed loudly, and the demons danced wildly to the introduction of the DJ (welcome our VIP hangover family).
In the industry, they like to call the group of people who mix with Mark the Mark Gang, and the domestic audience prefers to call them the Hangover Family, Mark's first two works are big hits, but what really forms a national influence and enters the eyes of the people across the country is still a hangover.
Mark also wants to rush in and go crazy with them, but he and Blake are both in formal suits, and Blake is wearing a deep V slip dress and high heels, which is not suitable for this kind of wild dance occasion.
Markla led Blake to the bar, ordered a beer by himself, and watched the lively atmosphere here, and they also became happy, twisting their waists to the beat of the music.
Max arrived, put on his business card, and introduced himself, and Mark said, "You did a good night." β
Max even said thank you!
Hiss jumped on a stage at some point, holding a microphone in his hand and said loudly: "Tonight is a hangover night, I invite all the drinks, no one is allowed to leave here if he is not drunk!"
His words were echoed by the screams of countless men and women.
Mark immediately whispered in Max's ear, "No more than fifty dollars!"
Max immediately said: "Understood! I will arrange it, I will go to lock the field immediately, and I will definitely let you have a good time!"
Mark said, "I still have some friends coming. β
Max said, "I understand!"
Scarlett got a good job and joined the crew of the DreamWorks blockbuster "Escape from Clone Island", which is a sci-fi masterpiece directed by Michael Bay, and now she has no time to play, but Rachel is in a break after filming "Love Notes", she is with Meghan, and when she heard Mark's call, she came immediately.
They arrived soon, and to Mark's surprise, there were two middle-aged men with him, and Meghan took the initiative to introduce: "Nick Kasowitz!"
Mark has a certain impression of this person, director Nick Cassavetz, born in New York in 1959, actor, director, screenwriter, and producer. The son of the late famous actor and director John Cassavetz, graduated from the famous American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Nick inherited his father's talent, and is also an all-rounder who can both direct and act, at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, Nick won the Best Actor Award for Sean Penn for his "Love Storm" directed by his father's posthumous script, and as an actor, Cassavetz participated in Eddie Murphy's "Life", Johnny Depp's "Astronaut's Wife", and John Woo's "Changing Face" and other films, which can be described as a double harvest of director and acting, and has a certain reputation in the circle.
The two sides shook hands and looked up to each other for a long time, but the other one had no impression, the other party's name was Mark Johnson, a producer, and there were not many works, among which "Rain Man" was a masterpiece, and he was also a person with a very high status in the circle.
They are the producers and directors of "Love Notes", and now they have approached Megan through Rachel's relationship to try to sell the film to MM.
Mark Johnson said: "The film is based on the novel of the same name written by Nicholas Sparks, I approached Lynn Harris, then the head of production at New Line Pictures, who spent seven years bringing the novel to the big screen, and "The Notebook" stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for a year, I love the idea and the romance in it, but what I like most is that this love story is not only vigorous, but also long-lasting." β
Mark said: "New line investment, are you still afraid that you can't find a publisher?"
Mark Johnson said: "The new line is just one of the investors, I brought in more money, Lynn has taken a back seat, the new production director is not interested in "Love Pen Notes", he asked for a recut, which is very different from Nick's creation, and the conditions offered by the new line are not satisfactory to us. β
Mark looked at Megan, Megan said: "I have enjoyed this movie, romantic and touching, I can't forget the beautiful scenery composed of rowing people, flying birds and the sunset that shines the river red under the soft music at the beginning of the film, this is the most beautiful natural picture I have ever seen, this is a movie that allows people who have never been in love to understand true love, and it is also a movie that allows people who are in love to work hard for the same goal, and it is also a movie that allows people who have loved to reflect on the past, this is a romantic love story that belongs to ordinary people." β
"The novel takes place in a quiet town in North Carolina, but Mark chose to shoot in South Carolina, and when we came to the Charleston area of South Carolina, we were fascinated by the idyllic beauty and blind to the beauty of our hometown, but as an outsider, we found that the old plantations and unique downtown buildings there had a lot of cinematic potential, and we finally chose to find all the locations in and around Charleston for the film." β
Rachel said: "The local scenery is really beautiful and charming. β
"I know it's time to take a break, but for a good work, I can't wait to recommend it, and I think we MM have what it takes to run and distribute this film," Megan said. β
As soon as Mark heard their introduction, he immediately searched for this movie on the Internet, a rare masterpiece in romance films, a work of more than 100 million in Beimi, this is a big piece of fat.
Mark said, "Do you have a sample with you?"
Nick said, "Of course!"
Mark said: "Tomorrow morning, you will show up at MM at 9:30 punctually, if it is a good work, you will not go back empty-handed, but now is the time for entertainment, my friend Heath has fallen out of love, and today we are here to accompany him to relax." β
Mark Johnson said: "No problem. β
Megan smiled: "This guy finally broke up!"
Rachel said, "He's playing so well now, he should get better soon." β
Now Heath is dancing against a **** on a pole stage, next to a large group of screaming and cheering men and women.
Mark said, "Gentlemen, you should just relax here, good wine, hot girls, cool bars, is there anything better?"
The next morning, Mark went to work on time and came to the company, Meghan also arrived ten minutes later, and Mark Johnson and Nick Cassavetz also arrived accompanied by two assistants, as for Rachel, she was only responsible for threading the needle to introduce the two sides to each other, as for the real business matters, it only asked.
After a few polite words from both parties, they directly chose to watch the film, if MM can't watch it, everything is redundant, and Mark is determined to get "Love Notes", and he wants to put it in the bowl immediately, but the surface work still has to be done, and he decided to take over the distribution without watching a movie, which has no law at all.
On the MM side, there are Mark, Megan, General Manager Will, Vice President Jessica, Mark's assistant Caroline, Bill, and Hank and Ruby, who came to MM to talk to Mark, and then the directors of several new departments of the company.
