Martin Scorsese is a contemporary realistic film director. He is a truly prolific director and a representative of the Hollywood generation of directors. His works are often about these themes, such as the identity of Italian Americans, sin and redemption in the sense of Catholicism, violence in American society, etc. He is recognized as one of the most influential film directors after the war, Winner of Cannes Golden Palm Award and Berlin Golden Bear award, world-class film master.

As early as the 1980s, he joined Coppola, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg as the four famous directors of the 1980s and won the Oscar nomination for best director four times.

Mark is full of respect for this industry leader. Scorsese has worked in Hollywood for nearly 30 years, but has never made a "blockbuster" for commercial purposes. While Spielberg, Lucas and others rely on hundreds of millions of dollars and computer stunts to attract the audience, they always calmly analyze all kinds of stubborn diseases of society and mankind from their own unique perspective; In the environment where Hollywood only advocates commercial results, it has always adhered to its own will and spared no effort to pursue the exploration of film language. It is a real master who loves movies.

Mark knows that he can't compare with him in film. Mark may surpass him in box office, but mark is hard to catch up with in film art and feelings.

Now Scorsese and little plum have been together for three years and started a rough Oscar journey.

Mark talked to Scorsese politely. One of them is a colleague, the boss of the film company, and the other is a top director. The two sides still have many common languages.

Mark talked for a while and left business cards for each other before leaving. Xiao Lizi was relieved and said to Scorsese, "thank you!"

Scorsese and little plum are like-minded friends. He said, "Wang has given you a lot of pressure!"

Little plum said bluntly, "this guy is a ruthless owl. If you deal with him for a long time, you will feel his pressure."

Scorsese said, "who would mess up the relationship like you!" he said: "if not, he wouldn't be so young and make such achievements." he is a master of art films, but he won't look down on commercial films, let alone naively think it's easy to make a film that sells at the box office.

A veteran like him who has been in the circle for 30 years knows the same thing. Without so many profitable commercial films, the film industry will not prosper, and the film companies will be stuck in the money bag and fart art films.

In tonight's Oscar night, mark met many people, such as Brad Pitt and his wife. Pitt took the initiative to greet him with his American sweetheart wife Aniston.

Mark doesn't understand. Pete doesn't like the beautiful, gentle and lovely Aniston, but he goes with Julie. Julie is also an open lesbian in addition to her good skin and chaos of her private life. It's amazing. It's really green vegetables and carrots. Each has its own advantages.

Mark and Peter chatted a few words and said, "I have a crush on a film launched by Xiangjiang, called Infernal Affairs. I just want to buy their adaptation rights, but it was bought by plan B company. Can I transfer it to me?"

Plan B film company is a company invested by Pitts and his wife. It has a good momentum of development. However, Troy, invested with Warner last year, lost money and spit blood. It is shrinking its business and in the recovery period.

Mark has invested in many films and has never failed. He is a recognized investment expert in Hollywood. Some people even say that as long as it is the project that mark likes, his value will immediately double. Peter is a smart man. He immediately said: "it's embarrassing. Our company is preparing to start this project. Please forgive me for my love."

"It's a pity," Mark said

Peter said: "but I think our company has a certain gap in funds. I think we can cooperate."

Plan B film company is a production company and has no distribution capacity and distribution channels, while mm has a distribution channel covering beimi, which is a benefit of wealth and power. Mm catches up from behind and completely surpasses Plan B company.

Mark said, "OK! Robert will talk to you."

Robert is egger's nickname.

Peter is very envious. Look at other people's style. It's awesome to use the chairman of a large group or company as the CEO. He is full of expectations to cooperate with MM who has a winning record.

This kind of party is a good time to expand contacts. Few people come to eat, drink and dance. The arrival of a large number of media gives female stars more opportunities to show themselves. The popularity of female stars determines the popularity, which often determines the number of endorsements and film remuneration. Mark brought 50 business cards, but they were not enough, and he received more than 100 business cards.

What makes mark happy most is that Scorsese introduced him to Kate Blanchett, the fairy queen, while Blanchett introduced them to Peter the great, a fat New Zealand man who also came to join the fun. When dealing with so many big guys, Mark felt that it was a worthwhile trip. Mm has made great achievements and expanded, and there will be a broader stage in the future, and there will be more opportunities to deal with these people.

Mark didn't leave until three o'clock. It was dark. He simply opened a room with Giselle in a nearby hotel and didn't have to go all the way home.

This week, many people choose to watch TV at home because of the ultimate event in the entertainment industry, the Oscar edition awards party, and tomorrow's newspapers and TV are also reports on the awards party and the Oscar night party, resulting in a sharp decline in the flow of film viewers. The wedding pride won only $35 million at the box office this week, However, its north rice has successfully exceeded 150 million US dollars, and is hitting 200 million US dollars.

Its mouth beer is good. All romantic comedy films have tenacious vitality and can be screened for a long time. For example, the love notebook has been screened for half a year and is still on the screen. It has a box office of more than two million dollars every week and seven or eight million dollars a month. Who will give it up easily? The rich mm paid Martin Johnson a lot of money and gave them a dividend first. The two sides had no objection.

It is generally believed in the industry that "wedding pride" can break 250 million yuan in beimi. With the copyright outside Shanghai and DVD sales and leasing, MM's income in a film will be more than 200 million, which is the envy and jealousy of giant companies.

It's rare for Giselle to come. Mark put down all his affairs and played well with her for two days. Now he doesn't care about the specific details, but checks more in the general direction. For example, he cooperates with Plan B company in Infernal Affairs. He only gives each other a word and egger will handle it.

Mark knows that if he doesn't delegate power, he can't get out of his heavy work and do what he likes and is good at. He's not good at managing and operating the company. However, because he has golden fingers, he takes the lead everywhere in deciding major events of the company. He also knows what movies can be made, what movies can't be made, and the new mm, We need more and more brilliant victories to support their rapid development.

This time, mark will have to raise about 7.5 billion, which is a huge pressure on the three Wang brothers and sisters with an actual asset of no more than 1.5 billion. However, David, a relatively conservative person, believes that the great victory of "proud guest of marriage" is feasible.

Egger is also a low-key person. He has 10% equity of mm. He said that he will raise funds in proportion. He will raise 1.5 billion yuan to join the action, while the 10% incentive equity of the company's employees will be diluted in proportion. Megan will also raise nearly 6.5 billion yuan on his side. There is no small pressure.

Mark has investigated many classic battles of leveraged buyouts. Recently, ray Shidong of Viacom has made repeated moves to build a media empire with a market value of 80 billion within 20 years.

Far away, on February 29, 2000, Xiangjiang Yingke digital power defeated its rival Singapore Telecom and reached an acquisition agreement with Dadong telegraph, the largest shareholder of Xiangjiang Telecom. Yingdong fully acquired the equity of Xiangjiang Telecom, involving a capital of HK $300 billion (US $30 billion, becoming the largest telecommunications M & A activity in Asia and the largest acquisition activity since the opening of Xiangjiang port, causing a sensation in Asia.

Xiangjiang Yingke digital power (Yingdong) It is an enterprise controlled by Li Zekai, the son of Li Jiacheng, a rich man in Hong Kong. Its predecessor was dexinjia, a listed company with a market value of less than HK $100 million. In May 1999, after putting forward the development plan for Hong Kong, Li Zekai Superman, chairman of PCCW development, successfully acquired dexinjia and listed it, renamed PCCW digital power. After PCCW's backdoor listing, its share price rose rapidly from the original HK $0.68 It soared rapidly to HK $9, and rose to HK $20 in February 2000. In less than a year, the market value of Yingdong soared to HK $220 billion (US $22 billion) Its assets include the Cyberport that is still in development, and the global network of computers, including broadband networks and other Internet companies that are still in the developing Cyberport and Tel. Although the market capitalization is larger, there is not much business with substantial profits, and the amount of water and bubbles in market value may only be known by Li and his sons.

Yingdong once had a market value of more than HK $580 billion, ranking among the top three in the market value list of Xiangjiang special district. However, after two years of repeated decline in its share price, its market value "evaporated" HK $550 billion, including the reasons for the Internet technology crisis and the operation of capital experts. After such a toss, xiaosuperman has an enterprise with a real value of more than 30 billion.

Little Superman is supported by a super father who is the richest man in China, and his father is also a shareholder of HSBC. They can get enough funds from the bank for acquisition. Mark, they almost have the same conditions. Little Superman can play. Why can't they? They have both the relationship of the bank family and the support of Super enterprises such as Oracle group With the ability to make a perfect leveraged buyout, mark is eager and ready to go.
