Chapter 68

When Kayla accidentally saw the magazine, she was surprised and said to mark, "brother, did you rob the money?"

Mark looked at the title and was very proud. He wanted to blow to the reporter, "it's not robbery, it's better than robbery." However, such arrogant words can only lead to inner lust. David gave him a motto: "humility benefits, but full loss."

Mark stroked her lovely, soft blond hair and said fondly, "yes, so we can go to Disney and play with whatever we want and eat whatever we want?"

Kayla was so happy that she jumped onto the sofa, kissed mark several times and said loudly, "long live my brother, my brother is the coolest!"

Mark quickly whispered, "keep your voice down and let Sophie hear us. We can't eat fried chicken and chips."

Kayla quickly covered her mouth. It looked very cute.

Mark said solemnly, "we only eat ice cream and sandwiches when we go to Disney. As for junk food such as fried chicken and potato chips, we are determined not to eat. You must let Sophie understand this."

Kayla said seriously, "of course."

Mark put down all his business on Sunday and drove BMW X5, black and Kayla to Disney. In order to avoid being disturbed, he turned off his mobile phone. This time, they went to play again what they hadn't played last time. It's very necessary. He has been more busy since he started the company. He has to make an appointment and squeeze time even after dinner with Blake.

Black's suggestion that his office must have a small kitchen is very good. He often stays in the office for half a day. If he can get some food here, it will be more ideal. He orders takeout every day and is not used to eating.

Watching Kayla and black laughing and happy, mark knew that his decision was very correct. He could never earn enough money. He had to spend more time with his favorite people.

In the evening, he invited Sophia and David to have a good meal at the Hilton restaurant. It can be said that without Sophia's help, he could not have achieved such a rapid and great success. Even Warner's own films could not be released immediately after shooting, and he could give very generous conditions. Everyone knows the reason. This is the advantage of having a cow B stepmother, Sophia is not a national celebrity, but her influence is national. Even super rich Larry can't deal with things. She can do it by phone.

Mark is an interesting man. He took out 15% of the shares of mm film and transferred them to Donald's and Keira's trust funds respectively. The family made money together. Sophia neither praised nor criticized Mark's kind behavior, but David appreciated it. He said, "nothing makes me happier than the love between your brothers and sisters."

At this time, black's phone rang. Of course, she attended the dinner with mark. The phone was from Tom. He asked Mark to answer the phone. Mark answered the phone with a happy face. He hung up after two calls.

Black asked, "what's so happy?"

Mark sipped the red wine and tried to press his joy and pride. He said, "the results of the second week of the chainsaw came out, with more than 24 million, second only to the 26 million in finding nemo 2. He was in the second place. Warner is having a celebration party. They let him pass."

David and Sophie applauded and congratulated. Even Kayla shouted, "brother is the coolest!"

Black immediately kissed mark and said, "why don't you go over?"

"Nothing is more important than having dinner with your family," Mark said

Since there was such good news, their conversation was naturally related to it. Sophia said, "mark, congratulations on the great success of your film. You have a firm foothold in Hollywood. How do you plan for the future?"

Mark said: "my goal remains the same. If I do well in" hangover ", I will do" Batman ". This will be a large production series with a time span of five or six years."

Sophia said, "what if Warner rejects your proposal? They own the copyright of Batman. "

Mark said, "the backup plan is twilight. I have the copyright. Warner doesn't have to think about it."

Sophia raised her glass and said, "I wish you all the best."

Mark and his family drove Blake home after dinner and then rushed to Warner headquarters. Because he drank wine and invited a taxi, the punishment for drunk driving in California is quite heavy, and celebrity drunk driving is regarded as a big scandal.

Mark's team publicized everywhere. They called mark one after another to express their congratulations. On Tuesday, it was more than 14 million. It was the runner up at the box office. Not to mention a small company such as mm film, Warner was also a good achievement. They had box office of more than 100 million a week, "Harry Potter 1", which used huge human and material resources for publicity. The publicity and distribution expenses of investment were sky high, such as "Chainsaw thriller" doesn't invest much publicity expenses. It depends on beer. This is a good work and the most ideal. Now the publicity and distribution expenses are increasing day by day. If it is the box office, many people cry. Every giant company has a time when it wants to cry without tears. The production cost of billions of dollars and the publicity and distribution cost of tens of millions can't even get back at the box office.

Mark comes to Warner. Kevin's assistant is waiting for him at the door. This is a celebration party held by Warner's Distribution Department to celebrate that they won the second place in the box office. While the main owners are busy promoting the film and are still out of town? They are sure to have a party to celebrate, but it must be after the party.

Kevin met mark in the banquet hall. When Mark walked to the door of the banquet hall, people nodded to him and congratulated him.

Warner is a large modern enterprise. It has strict performance review regulations. Good performance must be rewarded, and poor performance will be punished. For example, the big sale of chainsaw naturally has their internal reward methods. Holding a party to reward meritorious people is one of them, and there will also be corresponding cash rewards. Behind every big selling film, there are countless people waiting for money, This is a universal celebration.

Kevin didn't agree with Mark's threatening to make the chainsaw into a series at the beginning, and even resented it. If the series were easy to build, Warner wouldn't have only a few series. Now its box office is so good, and more importantly, its beer is excellent. When the audience is enjoying it, they feel that it's not enough. Many people are calling for a sequel now, Every big selling series means a gold mine. Several big selling Horror Series under the new line can best illustrate the problem.

Kevin really praised mark a few words, and then talked about the hangover. The box office of Mark's works is higher than one. Even Kevin looks forward to the new work with a production cost of 30 million yuan.

Kevin said: "there are many people who have Batman ideas now. The well-known producer Darren Aronofsky planned to shoot a Batman film and hired Frank Miller to adapt his comic novel into a screenplay. The first draft and storyboard of the screenplay were completed last month. He tried to persuade Warner to restart the project, but the copyright of Batman is in our hands, It's not clear whether Warner executives are going to shoot this film. On the contrary, some of the plot in the script has been leaked. Alfred has become an African American technician, while the Batmobile is a Lincoln with enhanced horsepower, and Bruce Wayne is even homeless. "

Mark said, "didn't you say that a lot of people have ideas? What about the other one? "

Kevin said: "legend is touting their cutting-edge director Christopher Nolan. If Warner agrees to restart, they will start writing plays."

Mark knew that Batman was restarted by the legendary film industry and achieved great success. Mark said, "did they move Barry?"

Kevin said: "they are following the path of the board of directors. A director is supporting their plan, but Barry blocked it with the play of" time of war. "

Mark said, "you mean I succeeded?"

Kevin said: "if the hangover doesn't screw up, I'll try my best to fight for you. If it does, I suggest you exercise more and make plans. This is a work of more than 80 million dollars. Moreover, Batman is a huge IP and related to the development of huge surrounding markets. Only success is allowed, not failure. Even Barry is cautious, Even the legendary box office guarantee of $400 million in the world can't move Barry. "

Mark said, "what does he think?"

Kevin said, "your script is well written, but your education and qualifications are hard. The only way is to speak with grades, but that's not enough."

Mark said confidently, "please believe me, my chips are no less than legendary. I can assure you that the production funds can be borrowed from the bank. If we cooperate with legendary, there will be no such favorable conditions."

Kevin's eyes brightened and said, "this is your big chip. In fact, many people in the board of directors have a good impression of you. You take the initiative to snipe the passion of Jesus with hangover. You have high political awareness and commendable courage. You are a creative material. However, your qualifications and education are hard hurt and not enough to run Gotham town. You need to hand over a more perfect report card, I can fight for you. "

Mark said: "the legendary film industry has their advantages. I have mine. I have a request. In view of our good cooperation in the past, both this man from earth and chainsaw have brought huge profits to Warner, especially chainsaw. It is a series. You know what this means. My request is before the result of hangover, Don't make a decision easily. "

Kevin said, "you have enough confidence!"

Mark said: "my confidence in it is far greater than that of the chainsaw. The audience base of comedies is unmatched by horror films. I will surprise people again."

Kevin said, "do me a favor. I have an old friend's daughter. She studies drama. Now she has just graduated. I hope you can arrange a role for her in the hangover."

Mark said, "no problem, but it's best to try the mirror."
