Martin was furious: "who is dissatisfied? Dissatisfied with the quadruple profits I brought them? If you are dissatisfied, you can quit at any time. From the moment you join my foundation, there is a rule that you can trust me 100%. If you are dissatisfied, you can withdraw his funds at any time and leave. Now you can implement this rule."

Tony's head is big. This arrogant guy slapped him if he didn't make money.

Last time, this guy hit well and staged a good play, which brought four times the profits to the shareholders. Now the market of this guy is rising. Many people think he can use the remaining chips to stage another good play. Who knows, this guy is a nerve knife. Bad cards play a world-class good card game. Good cards in one hand play a bad situation instead.

When shareholders make money, when you are your ancestor, losing money can peel your skin.

Tony said, "you are an adult and should be responsible for your words and deeds. What else can you get if you speak like this? Your own sons are not as good as close money these days. Money is the most practical."

Martin said solemnly: "out of my national identity and great national pride, my film assets will only be sold to my own people, British, Australian, Canadian and French!"

"My God! Is this guy religious?" Tony sighed, and he said: "You can do this, but don't say so. It's strange that the other party doesn't take the opportunity to lower the price. Time group quoted 8 billion, News Corporation reported 8.2 billion. Why don't they rob them? And Bear Stearns reported 9.5 billion, Merrill Lynch reported 9 billion, Goldman Sachs reported 9.2 billion and Lehman Brothers reported 8.5 billion. You should know that Colombia and MGM are in front of several stars How much is it worth? No less than 17 billion? "

Martin said, "do these stock flippers know what a movie is? They think that working together can depress my price. They think wrong of their hearts."

Tony said, "the shareholders are very satisfied with your $25 billion bid, but look at what you did at Columbia Pictures. Now the film company is worth $15 billion! My friends, the shareholders are worried!"

Martin said, "my purpose is to trust me, give me the money and I'll make money for you. But if you think you can tell me what to do and pretend to be the master, it's a big mistake. I still say that. If you're not satisfied, you can withdraw your capital at any time. I welcome it."

Tony was speechless.

Martin said, "tell me the list."

Tony said, "you should know the consequences of this. My God! I miss Davis who led us to make money in the past. How far have you risen? You manage the company yourself, but you manage the mess. You should delegate power to Leighton and Pascal, and you won't do so badly."

"I don't trust them," Martin said

Tony said, "I'm not asking you to trust them, but to use them to do a good job in the company and sell a good price. Then you just need to throw a bone to them, OK!"

"Extreme agent 2 will be released soon, and these bad situations will be improved," Martin said

Martin for extreme agent 2 Yes, the CIA, the homeland security agency, the Department of defense, the president, the White House, the Capitol building, prisons, modified vehicles, tanks, aircraft carriers and bulletproof trains went into action one by one, crackling for a hundred minutes. Tanks shelled the Capitol building, machine guns fired at cabinet members and coerced the president of the United States. From the clip of rebels attacking the national security agency at the beginning of the film, the whole The attack process was fast, simple and targeted. At the end, the clip of Agent X chasing the high-speed train in order to save the president was even more popular. It was cool for 100 minutes. Martin thought it had great potential.

After receiving a call from Mark, he said that he was not afraid, but Martin still asked people to reschedule. They chose to release it in early April, avoiding the super blockbuster Star Wars prequel 3 in May. At the same time, there were paramount's Sahara Raiders, Emperor's sin city, Universal's translator, touchstone's Guide to the galaxy, which had unlimited scenery at the Oscars After a month's release, the box office momentum of "Aviator", "million dollar baby" and "soul singer" is much worse than before. They want to replicate the success of "wedding pride" and dominate the three-week schedule.

It is worth mentioning that Mark's "wedding pride" has fallen to the top 10 of the ticket room, and the total box office has reached 240 million. It is temporarily listed as the first of the year, because there are many blockbusters released this year, which will certainly surpass him.

However, this blockbuster, which is regarded by many fans as a symbol of the recovery of traditional American action films, suffered an unprecedented defeat in 3200 theaters in beimi. The box office in the first week was 12 million, only a quarter of the first one, which was beyond many people's expectation, which was a great gap from many people's estimate of 50 million to 60 million.

Not only the box office is bad, but also the beer is bad. From the investment and publicity of the film to the special effects and action scenes of the film, "extreme agent 2" is far better than the previous work, but the biggest problem in this episode is to replace the Hero Van diesel, "extreme agent 1" The great success of is inseparable from van diesel's popularity and his hard performance. The black film star ace Cooper, who has been playing soy sauce in Hollywood blockbusters for a long time, was replaced by Van diesel in the role of X. it's a pity that he didn't cherish this opportunity. His unnatural facial expression and poor performance skills ruined the film.

In terms of performance, ACE Cooper and van diesel are too different. There is no lack of humor in Hollywood films of this type. In the first episode, through van diesel's rich expressions and the clever line design of screenwriters, the film has a sense of humor in the tension and excitement, but in the sequel, ace Cooper can't make people laugh every time he shows his sense of humor, In terms of dialogue design, screenwriters who are poor in skills will only simply repeat the classic lines in the last episode. What really makes people uncomfortable is ace Cooper's numb face. In the whole film, he always maintains a cold expression like a patient with facial paralysis. His appearance is not outstanding. Coupled with this poor performance, the hero has become the biggest failure of the film.

Hollywood has always opposed racial discrimination and has the principle of taking care of blacks in many blockbusters, but this kind of care goes too far in extreme agent 2. In the film, ACE Cooper leads a group of black brothers who steal cars to make a revolution, and it is these blacks who finally become heroes to save democracy and freedom in the United States, Unfortunately, the revolution of the black brothers in the film failed to bring real box office revenue. It seems that Americans still like to see all kinds of white superheroes flying all over the sky. When extreme agent sold, the producers threatened to create a hot series comparable to 007. It was just a joke they played with the audience.

Watching newspapers and TV full of accusations and ridicules, Martin was so angry that he patted the table. Shit, the film was really not made by people. Such a good-looking and cool film actually lost so much. He also expected the film to bring him good news. It is estimated that Tony's nagging will come again.

However, Martin is pleased that he is not alone. Paramount's Sahara Raiders has always regarded extreme agent 2 as the first enemy of the same period. During the publicity, the two sides compete with each other. It is an action comedy film directed by brick Eisner and starred by handsome Matthew McConaughey, beautiful soup's ex-wife Penelope Cruz and Steve Zinn, It was released in on April 8. Based on cliff kussler's adventure series novels, the film tells the story of the joint investigation of members of the national coast guard and medical scientists into the culprit of the ecological catastrophe of the marine environment. The film invested more than 100 million. When extreme agent 2 fell and broke his head and blood, he was still laughing.

Now it's its turn. The $18 million box office in the first week and the average beer are enough to make them cry in the toilet.

The new films released in April can't get any good box office. The touchstone's Galaxy roaming guide is generally average. With the help of overseas markets, it should make a small profit. The best performance is dimen's sin city, but it's only limited to $30 million. Through long-term screening, beimi should be able to make a profit, Overseas and DVD earnings are earned.

The dismal April has caused the cinema operators to cry bitterly, threatening bankruptcy and jumping off buildings. They are looking forward to the emergence of rescue works such as wedding pride.

For example, the box office of the year's first divine film "Star Wars prequel 3" must be good, but the producers and distributors are also strong in terms of share. It has been estimated that "Star Wars prequel 3" needs to exceed US $400 million to bring in 250 million to the cinema.

Martin also felt helpless. The film he had high hopes for brought him great humiliation. Now several public buyers actually took the opportunity to reduce the offer. This is taking advantage of the fire. Am I Davis who can rob?

Martin called Bear Stearns, the highest bidder. The previous offer was 9.5 billion, but now it is adjusted to 9.3 billion. He said: "11 billion in cash, Colombia and MGM are yours."

The other side said, "the current offer is 9.3 billion! And our offer is the highest." he was funny. When shorting Sonny, Martin showed his peerless arrogance and fierce hand. People outside were sweating in cold sweat. His management of Colombia and MGM was like teasing B. It was funny. He was trying to clean up the company to death instead of doing it well, The market price of the company fell again and again.

What's more funny is that he was fooled by those reporters to say that he didn't sell to foreigners, which is tantamount to shutting out many potential buyers who originally intended to pay. Who dares to compete with the five major investment banks on Wall Street in China? If his background is not the Morgan consortium, there would have been no residue left. If he wanted to raise the price, there would be no door.
