Martin, who is far away in South Africa, has appointed a new chief executive officer to his foundation, a young man named Smith, who turned out to be the head of his company's venture capital department, and this person has a very bad nickname, called "brute!"

Smith is very polite, elegant, dressed in a classic British three-piece suit, with an authentic London accent, he is very respectful to Mark, even if Mark repeatedly asked him to sit down, he still stood and spoke, he said: "Just looking at the appearance, you must think that I am British, I am a Texan, my family has been running a slaughterhouse for generations, I am good at killing cattle, I like your movie "No Country for Old Men". ”

Although the other party was respectful and polite, Mark just didn't like this person, didn't like his eyes, didn't like his self-righteousness, Mark politely said: "That sounds good, I spent a few months in Texas last year, and the beef that was slaughtered on the farm and grilled was the best." ”

"Yes," said Smith, "if you come to Texas next time, I'll kill a cow for you, and by the way, I like to use a bull gun." ”

Mark grinned and said, "You're here today?"

Smith said: "I want to tell you that as for the lawsuit, Merlin has withdrawn the lawsuit, and those tabloids who have nothing to do have nothing to do have gone bankrupt one by one, sir, you just need to concentrate on the affairs of the foundation." ”

Mark's face sank, and he could see that this was an arrogant and unruly guy, and said, "Are you teaching me to do things?"

"No!" Smith immediately denied, saying, "I just want to help solve this matter faster and more efficiently." ”

Mark loosened his tie, suddenly made a move, crossed the other party's neck, pulled his arm back, pressed him against the wall, and said in his ear: "Next time I interfere in my business, I will just break your neck, understand?"

Smith's face was flushed and he couldn't breathe well, but he still stiffened his mouth and said, "Mr. Davis has entrusted you with an important task, and you have tarnished Miss Caroline's reputation, which is a failure. ”

Mark stiffly crossed the other party's neck, stuck its blood supply to the brain, and said coldly: "You will die in a minute, what do you want to say now?"

"I'm sorry!" Smith is still a bit of a businessman.

Mark said, "I can't hear you!"

"I'm sorry!" Smith said loudly.

Mark let go of his large, pincer-like hand, and Smith fell to his knees, massaging his soft neck with his hand, coughing loudly.

Mark said: "One of Martin's dogs, if I don't like it, you're not even qualified to talk to me. ”

Smith coughed, "I understand!"

Mark called Martin in front of him and said, "I don't like Smith as a person, I'd better keep him away from me." ”

Martin said: "If he provokes you, kill me, but this is a good dog, let him bite whoever he wants." ”

Markla called and said to Smith, "Get out! See me again, see me once, call once!"

Smith rested for a while, and his neck was much better,

He said, "OK!" and he kind of tried to see that his position in Martin's heart was far worse than Mark's.

Why did Mark teach this person a lesson, because he heard some rumors, among the seventy-eight tabloids that went out of business, none of them were normal, either they were cut off from their loans, their capital chains were broken, or they were set on fire, or they were ransacked, and none of them ended well, it must be this person who is doing ghosts, and those people will blame anyone's head, they don't even think about it, it must have been Mark who did it.

Merlin's withdrawal of the lawsuit is simpler, the whole family was pointed at the head at gunpoint, can the lawsuit not be withdrawn? After the withdrawal of the lawsuit, Mark immediately emigrated to a foreign country, about Merlin, Mark did not know, but Mark knew that Smith must have used despicable means to force the other party to submit, Mark does not like to do things unscrupulously, no bottom line people, even if it is the president of the Davis Fund, he said to fight and fight, no need to show mercy to his subordinates.

Mark has been looking for a professional manager these days, and under Sophia's introduction, he met a long-term senior executive in the International Red Cross, this person is Sophia's college classmate, named Marcus, who has strong management and execution skills, and is also a professional charity manager, without a bad reputation for colluding with the government.

After the interview, Mark was so satisfied with the man's resume and abilities that he was given the task of assembling a team of administrators to run the Caroline Davis Foundation.

After recruiting people, Mark was relieved to hand over the business to Marcus, and he and Giselle Martin Jr. returned to Los Angeles, and before they knew it, they had spent more than 20 days in New York, and now it was early 2008.

Last year's Christmas and New Year were the most boring and lonely of Mark's Christmas and New Year in years.

There are three days left before the Golden Globe Awards Day, because of the boycott of the Writers Guild, the Golden Globes have canceled the dinner and held a press conference instead.

The Writers Guild strongly stated that they would block the Golden Globe Awards press conference and set up a cordon to see which star dared to cross the red carpet and participate in the party with a boo.

The actors' union did not express its position, neither said support nor banned.

For her part, the secretary general of the newly formed North Mi Screenwriters Union, Lyris, claimed to support the Golden Globes, with the slogan: "No work, no money!" and "We want to work." They voted unanimously to say that they would also organize demonstrations against the unions for smashing their jobs.

MM and Warner announced that they would only recruit people in the Screenwriters Alliance in the future, and the two sides are now-for-tat, and the fight is very lively.

The president of the Foreign Correspondents' Association, Kamara, finally agreed to Daniel's suggestion and started working with MM, and after the Mark Gang confirmed his participation in the press conference, the rights to broadcast the Golden Globes were raised from one million to three million.

And the film school and the ABC television station, which is responsible for broadcasting the Oscars, are also starting to panic now, the Golden Globes dinner, turned into a press conference, are they doing the same? This is really embarrassing, and now they are also letting out the rumors that if the producers' union and the writers' union do not reach an agreement at the end of January, they will cancel the Oscars.

Without the participation of celebrities, there will be no ratings, and the celebrities said that it is very rude to walk through the red carpet in the crowd of demonstrators, and it will ruin the scenery, and it will not be beneficial to personal fame, and they will definitely not come to make a fool of themselves, so the 80th Oscars in 2008 may be miscarried.

Seeing the bleak and miserable situation of its old rival Golden Globe Awards, the academy not only did not gloat, but felt the same way: Today's Golden Globe Awards are tomorrow's Oscars! The Academy Awards will not be held, and they, the members of the Academy, will not have a good life.

At this time in previous years, everyone became fragrant and sweet, became the object of various parties competing for grabbing and public relations, and all kinds of gifts and gifts were collected in piles, but now they are just drinking the northwest wind, and it is very deserted.

So the academy also sent a public relations team to lobby all parties to reach an agreement, and Mark was the focus of lobbying, and unconsciously, Mark's power was indispensable, but the screenwriters' union hated him, and they thought he was the biggest promoter of the split in the screenwriters' union.

Back in Los Angeles, Mark had a meal with David, Sophia and their family first, which was to make up for the New Year's reunion dinner.

However, they all expressed their understanding of Mark's absence, and no one wanted this to happen to Bi Jing.

Since the Writers Guild began to strike on November 5 last year, speculation about whether the Golden Globe Awards can be held smoothly has not stopped, and a few days ago, many Hollywood big names announced that they would be absent from the awards ceremony. Yesterday, BC (National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States) will report live on the Golden Globe Awards, which only have journalists. For the first time since 1943, in the 65-year history of the Golden Globes, such an embarrassment has occurred.

No red carpets, no award ceremonies, no dinners and parties, just an awkward press conference and a whole bunch of numbers to be counted. According to Los Angeles Economic Development Corporation estimates, the cancellation of the Golden Globes would have cost the local economy about $80 million, and in the case of the Oscars, that figure would have been $130 million.

In the past 3 hours of live broadcast, NBC's advertising revenue is generally between 15 million and 20 million US dollars, and the ads from 8 pm to 11 pm on the 13th have been filled, NBC will reshuffle the cards and pay a large amount of liquidated damages, and some losses are incalculable, such as they usually use the awards dinner to promote their own film and television works.

As for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organizer of the Golden Globe, and the producer Dick Clarke, they lost the royalties paid to them by NBC, according to 2007 tax records, they took $5.8 million from the live broadcast, in addition to losing most of the royalties and some of the production fees that had already been spent, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association also lost the ticket money for the Golden Globes and advertising fees for sponsors.

However, with the high-profile addition of the Mark Army, his attention has increased again, with the addition of the Mark Gang, why worry about no ratings? NBC gave them 3 million, which can be regarded as saving a lot of face, and the red carpet show and champagne party that are expected to be canceled can be held again.

According to NBC's planned live broadcast plan, the press conference announcing the winners will be broadcast live at 6 p.m. on the 13th, and the champagne party attended by the nominees will be reported, and the winners will appear at the press conference to talk about their acceptance speeches.

The champagne party angered the Writers Guild, whose director said: "It's a Golden Globe in the guise of a press conference. As long as there is a ceremony, whatever you want to call it, we have to resist it. And the Screen Actors Guild later made the same statement.

But now that they have the support of the Writers Union, the actors' union does not dare to openly boycott it, and this red carpet show and champagne party can still be held.
