Megan said, "why not? Last time you got drunk and said if you had money, you would buy Marvel. In the future, our film company will not worry about no themes and stories. Marvel is a treasure house of themes and stories. "

Mark wondered, "did I say that?"

Megan said, "of course, drink and tell the truth."

Mark said: "marvel is a treasure house, but we don't have money to buy it. Compared with ordinary people, we have money. We can't get it if Marvel doesn't have a billion. Compared with people who often have one billion and eight billion, we are still poor."

Megan said, "I just want to ask you if marvel is worth buying. Is there any way you can turn Marvel waste into treasure?"

Mark said, "you seem to have a way to get the money to buy Marvel?"

Megan said confidently, "yes, when I invited you to join, I said I was responsible for the funds. Together, we can make the cake bigger."

Mark said, "how?"

Megan said, "in fact, the rich in China almost rely on loans. Why are Disney, Warner and paramount developing so fast? They also use this method. Their debt is almost between 50% and 60%. Many companies also want to do so. The problem is that they can't borrow money. If they can borrow it, they will dilute their equity, but we don't have this problem. "

Mark said, "I don't want to beg Sophie every time, even though she will help me."

Megan said, "you don't have to go out this time. I'm in charge. David and I have our own trust fund. Of course, the main component is the equity of Oracle, which can't be used, but can be pledged. We need to convince Larry to agree. I'll persuade him to agree and guarantee our loan. We will raise 800 million US dollars this time. After winning marvel in one fell swoop, You have to promise me that you have a way to make a big superhero movie, not that I buy a burden for us. "

When you think about marvel, mark drools. Iron man, Captain America, Thor and the avenger alliance. Any series will not be worth less than one billion. In the next ten years, it will be almost Marvel's world. In the past, mark was slandered, but he knows it's not something he can touch. The market value is more than one billion, It also depends on the billionaire tycoon Logan Perelman's refusal to sell, because he has absolute control and is not rich and can be forcibly and maliciously acquired. Mark didn't expect to be so close to him until now. He asked, "now that spider man and X-Men are selling, marvel is widely favored. Will Perelman sell?"

Megan said: "there are also the big attacks of hulk and super braveman. There are too many variables in the film market, and superhero films are not universal. The big sales of spider man and X-Men nearly doubled their stock price. Before that, their market value was only about 500 million, but the big attacks of Hulk and super braveman made investors cautious and calm, They no longer blindly pursue this stock. "

The two of them talked about this topic during tea. After a cup of coffee, mark didn't say anything. While making coffee, mark asked Billy to inform Nick to take over.

Billy almost got fired because he went to the bathroom at the last critical moment. Now he is at work. He doesn't dare to leave mark for a moment and listen to the call at any time.

Mark said, "the marvel tycoon is better than ghosts. Water wants to be sold as oil. He is not short of money. Can you persuade him to sell marvel?"

Megan: "I don't think uncle Perelman is short of money. It's just the view of unfamiliar people. He has a fortune of $2.3 billion, but he also has a lot of debts. Since he took over Revlon, he has just turned a company with a market value of more than $10 billion into $4.5 billion. His pressure is greater than anyone. Don't you see that he is bald? This is all sorrow? "

Mark doubted, "are you sure his wife and lover marry and change one after another."

Megan said: "he is a superficial scenery. Revlon and marvel have become their burden. They have been relying on him for blood transfusion a few years ago. Don't you see his ranking declining again and again in Forbes? In the past few years, he lost a lot of money in the Internet technology bubble. Some people said it was three hundred million, some people said it was five hundred million, anyway, the number was enormous. He owed all the money of several big banks. Just interest paid him complain incessantly. They are now trying to raise money to make iron man, but no movie company will invest, and the bank will not lend money. He also lobbied for our MM investment. But I refused. "

Mark said in surprise, "the tycoon can't even spend 100 million on production?"

Megan said: "if you sell iron from the pot, it should be OK, but investing in films is too risky. In the past, marvel invested in films that ended in failure, which makes them cautious. If they cooperate with giant companies, they don't make any profit. Now they are in a dilemma."

Mark said, "it's really superficial. How can we persuade him to sell marvel?"

Megan said: "I will be responsible for the lobbying. If necessary, I can ask Larry and Sophia, especially Sophia. Revlon group owes Citibank a lot of money. What we need to do now is to write a plan to impress Larry and let him agree that I use the money from the trust fund for mortgage loans."

Mark's heart is as warm as a ball of fire. For the first time, he feels that it will not make him regret to join the partnership. Now this is the real choice to make the cake bigger. If he relies on Sophia, there is no problem in lending tens of millions of dollars, but hundreds of millions of dollars, the problem will be big. Like now, he knows that marvel is a big fat meat, but he can't start it, but it has great operability for Megan, She is one of the heirs of Oracle with a market value of more than 200 billion. Will that bank think she is unable to repay? As long as there is a mortgage, you are not afraid of not getting the loan.

Mark said excitedly, "I'm in charge of the plan. I'll lobby Sophia for her support."

Megan touched his fist and said, "I'll fly to San Francisco right away to lobby Larry."

Mark handed a document to Megan and said, "here is a list of some scripts I prefer. Now that the company has money, it must establish its own script library, and the screenwriting department must be expanded. We must train our own screenwriting team."

Megan said, "OK!" Since "hangover" and "love notes", Megan no longer questioned Mark's vision. In this regard, she has always listened to mark.

Hollywood's film and television industry has always implemented the "producer centered system". Professional trade unions such as directors' associations, writers' associations and actors' associations in the United States maintain their respective interests through contracts with producers' associations. According to the old contract signed between writers' associations and producers' associations in 2001, the six major Hollywood film companies (Warner, Disney, paramount, Sony, fox, universal) The minimum fee for original screenplays is US $16000, and the price offered by major television networks for TV screenplays is about US $21000 for prime time comedy and US $31000 for prime time plot. Many screenwriters actually earn much more than this figure. The screenplays produced by major film companies cost at least US $1 million, while the films produced by well-known screenwriters The script also got more than $4 million.

However, this does not mean that professional screenwriters in the United States are "rich" In fact, there are still many screenwriters whose income is only for subsistence. Many novice screenwriters can only earn less than 30000 US dollars a year. The American screenwriter Association "said that 48% of the members of its West Coast branch are often unemployed, which also means that it is not difficult for mm to recruit people. Now, with the advantage of foresight, mark has taken a large number of high-quality scripts under his banner to enrich his script library.

Mark also personally wrote several story outlines to make his screenwriting Department plump and turn into a play, which is to prepare for the next step of the company.

Now mark returns to the crew, the most painful thing is little plum. Mark is hospitalized, and the most happy thing is little plum. He even has a party to celebrate. Of course, the theme doesn't dare to write about celebrating Mark's hospitalization, but about carnival night. If Hollywood doesn't look at little plum, mark should be the first. In front of little plum, it's better than James Cameron and Steven Spielberg , Martin Scorsese, wood Allen, these big names are bigger. These big guys don't use doubles like mark. At first, it was an action play, and then all the plays were put on doubles.

That day, little plum asked for a half day's leave. Mark happily approved it, but the progress did not drop at all. The scenes were all filmed by doubles, and little plum's means of counteracting him also seemed ridiculous. Mark Gen didn't care whether he played well, whether it was good or bad. Come and take photos, don't take photos, which almost made little plum crazy. It's the first time that he has been filming for so long Teng, mark is smashing his 20 million Mr. sign.

Fortunately, mark was ill and the crew was taken over by Nick. Nick didn't dare to be so arrogant as mark. He followed the rules and measured everything with little plum, which restored the self-esteem of many Mr. 20 million. Unfortunately, it was only three days. After three days, mark went to work and everything returned to the old view. He was lamenting: "how can mark get better so quickly and live a hard life again."

He once heard mark and Nick talk privately: "please, little plum is just for his fame and face. As for others, who cares? As long as we play this guy's banner, someone will pay for it. As for the failure of the performance, what's the matter with my director? Of course, it's his fault. I'll push everything on him."

Xiao Li knows why this guy is so arrogant. He originally played this idea. No wonder he doesn't care. He didn't invest in the film. He just took the film pay and dividends and made less money. What's more, if he doesn't perform well, he doesn't necessarily sell seats. Superhero blockbusters always sell big scenes and special effects.
