Chapter 31: Mark Studios
Mark was stunned, a little disappointed, and when he thought that Blake was refusing to date, Blake said: "I don't like to watch those fight-and-kill movies." ”
"That's not a problem, there are so many other films to choose from," Mark said. He doubted this, Blake went to the premiere of "Hacker Country 2 Reloaded" to be a brain-dead fan, and dared to grab Mark's movie tickets, such a person actually said that he didn't like action movies, but this is not a problem, it doesn't matter what movie you watch, what matters is who you watch it with, he just wants to be with Blake, shoulder to shoulder, and enjoy a movie.
This time Blake agreed, and Tom said lightly, "Come back early." ”
Today, Mark drove Donald's Volvo, he got the money, got a driver's license, and had a plan to buy a car, but Meghan's withdrawal made him suddenly tight on his funds and didn't dare to spend money indiscriminately.
They drove to the cinema and Blake, who claimed to only watch romance films, chose to watch "Pirates of the Caribbean" in three seconds, saying: "This is the hottest movie so far this year, and I'm a fan of Depp and Orlando Bloom." ”
Mark was tempted to ask, "What about Keanu Levi?" and they bought tickets, popcorn and Coke.
Mark regretted choosing "Pirates of the Caribbean" very much, which is not to say that the movie is not wonderful, on the contrary, it is very exciting, so that their attention is focused on the wonderful movie, and they are engrossed in watching it, and there is no small warmth that Mark expects, such as an inadvertent touch, or a kiss.
Mark came to a conclusion that he couldn't go to a wonderful movie with the girl he liked, otherwise he wouldn't achieve the real purpose of going to the movie with the girl. Especially can't go to see blockbusters, because after watching a movie, it's been more than two hours, and it's time to send Blake home, if you don't plan to send her back, it will be difficult to ask her out next time, which makes them so busy that they don't even have time to drink a cup of milk tea, which is really disappointing, they can only pack and drink in the car.
Blake was very happy, his face was red, and while drinking milk tea, he was discussing the plot and story with great interest, and kept saying how humorous and cold Depp was, how handsome Orlando was, and how cold and glamorous Kate was.
Coming back empty-handed, Mark's excitement was low, and he said, "Disney has unearthed another gold mine, and I bet Disney will make it into a series and shoot it until the audience vomits." ”
"Pirates of the Caribbean", as a super-hit series, ended the curse of Hollywood pirate films, it is worse than the other, but the box office is higher than the other, a series of four movies, three of which exceeded one billion dollars, is really a bull and a big hit, Depp broke through the sky, and actually pounced on six billion-dollar movies in a row and there are still scenes to film, and the seven Hollywood giants are drooling with envy about it.
Mark looked at Blake's flushed face, flattered, and said, "You are much prettier than Kate Knightley, she only has a beautiful face, you look at her chest, like a board, there are no obvious feminine features at all, and you are much better, at least thirty-four C!"
Blake said, "You bastard, trying to know my size in such a dastardly way, I won't let you get away with it." ”
Mark blushed, he was purely complaining, he didn't want to know Blake's measurements, of course, if he told him, he might as well refuse.
Blake stood up plump and proud, and said, "It belongs to my future boyfriend and husband, and no one else can touch it." ”
Mark's eyes lit up, and he couldn't take his eyes off the beautiful scenery in front of him, and he muttered to himself, "I have to work hard." ”
Blake said, "Drive carefully!"
Mark said, "0K!"
Mark the next morning, with Donald with the information and documents, came to the bank, under the leadership of Donald, they came to the manager's office, this guy is called Vincent, Mark met at the party, Donald explained his intentions, and showed the relevant supporting documents, mainly the income certificate of "Twilight", they will use the copyright income of "Twilight" as collateral.
Vincent said: "Sophia should not know about this. ”
Donald said, "We're all independent adults, we don't have to report everything to our parents, is there a problem with our documents or qualifications?"
Vincent said: "Of course, there is no problem, but according to the process, we must have a professional verify, and we will only take out a loan after confirming that it is correct." ”
Donald said: "It's better to hurry, and then everything will be done according to the standard process, the interest and collateral are the same, and I want to do business?"
Vincent said: "Of course, there is no problem, you just need to sign an application first, and we will start the process, and if everything goes well, you can even get the money within a week." ”
Donald shook his hand and said, "Baiza." "It's all up to Donald, Mark didn't say anything from beginning to end, he saw Donald talk calmly and eloquently, he knew that it was right to leave it all to Donald, besides, this is Sophia's territory, she won't let them suffer.
After they left Vincent's office, Donald smiled, "In less than half an hour, Sophia will know that this is a good opportunity to show goodwill." ”
Mark said, "Will it cause a disturbance to Sophia?"
Donald said: "All this is done in a business, there will be no problems, the bank collects mortgages, collects normal interest, and Sophie's competitors can't find fault with it." ”
Mark said: "Very good, it's all up to you." ”
Donald said: "I'm glad to help you, and besides, you have a problem and tell me, which makes me happy, you treat me as a brother." ”
Hank and Ruby were sitting on the couch in the bank lobby waiting, and they greeted them and asked, "How is it?" and they are now Mark's men, and they are following Mark.
Mark now has 300,000 US dollars in his hands, and it is not a big problem to raise a few younger brothers, to be honest, he Bi Jing is an outsider, he has no experience of living and growing up here, and he has no friends and social relations, if no one helps, he can only catch blind.
Donald said: "It's just a process, and the money will arrive in seven days at the latest." He knows that no matter who he is, he loves to be a strong boss with Niu B, and the more he shows his strength and muscles, the more he can convince his subordinates.
Mark waved his fist and said, "Guys, get ready to do a big job!"
Hank said: "I can't believe that we can make our own movie so quickly, a real movie." Obviously, he doesn't treat 'This Man Is From Earth' as a formal movie.
Mark said: "This Man is from Earth is the real movie. ”
Hank said, "0k! I take back what I just said, what should we do next?"
Donald said: "To set up Mark Studio, since you make movies, you must have your own company, we will go and register one immediately, and then we will invest and work in the name of Mark Studio, and your salary will also be paid by the studio." He said to Mark: "It's easier to file your taxes, and you can save a lot of money by using different tax filing methods for companies and individuals." ”
Mark said: "Mark's studio doesn't seem to sound good. "His Mark is surnamed Ma, and he got it from his wife.
Donald said: "A very good name, the mark is the monetary unit of measurement in ancient Europe, originally equivalent to eight troy ounces of sterling silver, and later evolved into half a pound, "mark" as an ancient monetary unit name, has been used in the western part of ancient Europe, including England, in 1192 England King Richard the Lionheart was captured in Germany, is to pay a ransom of 150,000 marks to the Holy Roman Empire before being released, it has a long history and cultural tradition, very cool. ”
His lofty way of reading is completely opposite to Mark's way of being a turtle, but Mark is inconvenient to explain, so he has to give up and agree to Donald's proposal.
A group of them rushed to register the film studio, the legal representative is Mark, the founder and boss are also Mark, the registered capital is 50,000 US dollars, Donald, Hank, Ruby, are also listed as one of the founders, but they did not participate in the investment, did not own their own equity, as for the company's location, temporarily located in the garage of David's house, which is large enough, and it is not a big problem to have a few small rooms in between.
Don't feel shabby, the famous Pingguo Company, which grew out of the garage, had a small party at home to celebrate the establishment of Mark's studio, David, Sophia, Kayla they all participated, and Blake also quietly came to participate.
David sighed with emotion: "Are you sure you don't want to go to school, are you ready to do a big job?"
Mark was beaming, and because he had drunk a lot of wine, his face was flushed, and he said with a smile: "The arrow that was shot out is impossible to turn back." ”
This Mark Studio was born in a garage, it is a film company that is too small to be small, but it produces "This Man is from Earth", has the copyrights of "Chainsaw", "Wedding Aoke", "Twilight" and other copyrights, which is a high-quality resource that big companies are jealous of, especially "Twilight" is starting to make a profit now, supporting a company, it is not a big problem, and when it is adapted into a movie, it will be even better.
Sophia said: "Mark is pragmatic and full of entrepreneurial passion, David, what do you have to worry about? Whether you admit it or not, Mark has earned more than you this year, and it seems that it is only two months." ”
Donald next to him said: "Mark's approach is admirable and jealous, I can't concentrate on my studies after I go to college, I must devote half of my energy to entrepreneurship, otherwise we will be farther and farther away, I don't want to be completely submerged in Mark's Guangzhi." ”
Mark said: "We can do it together, you are in charge of administration, I am in charge of production, and the proceeds are divided equally." "It's a great condition, and Mark is looking at it for the good of others.
"I'm more bullish on the Internet than in the entertainment industry. ”
Mark's heart moved, Microsoft's Oracle has become a hegemony, and Google's rise is unstoppable, but another company, one of the three hegemons of Internet companies in the future, will not be born in the dormitory of Harvard University until next year, can it be the first to take the lead?
