Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

Chapter 397

"What, MGM wants to sell?"Martin was a little surprised by the news, and then burst out laughing. He couldn't raise that much money now.

"Yes, this is an opportunity, Martin."Drew Barrymore is extremely interested in MGM.

She said:"John Wu's"Windtalkers" that MGM invested in last year was a complete failure. Haha, the production cost of 115 million U.S. dollars, only recovered 40 million U.S. dollars in box office. The surrounding TV broadcast and DVD rights are still uninterested, plus more than 50 million U.S. dollars. In terms of promotional expenses, MGM will definitely suffer huge losses this time."

John Wu is Wu Yusen. This guy has single-handedly brought down an established Hollywood giant and will have bragging rights in the future."

"Woman, are you drifting? MGM is a mess, not to mention that it still owes banks at least $2 billion in foreign debt, and that greedy guy Kirk Kerkorian doesn't have $5 billion to take over all of MGM's foreign debt. He would never agree to the acquisition."

In 1970, after MGM was bought by American gambling king Kirk Kerkorian, it became a tool for his capital operation, and it was almost ruined.

(PS: Kirk Kerkorian took over MGM later resold it twice and bought it back twice, cashing in billions of dollars. However, after repeated ownership transfers, plus several blind acquisitions and expansions in order to raise the stock price of 26, MGM was saddled with the burden of its legacy. Heavy debt.

In 2005, Kirk Kerkorian sold off MGM Films again. MGM was acquired by Sony Corporation for nearly US$5 billion, of which US$2 billion was used to pay MGM The debt owed.

Unfortunately, MGM did not rise because of this, but fell deeper and deeper into the abyss, because the company owed too much foreign debt in the hands of the gambling king. The US$2 billion could only temporarily fill the hole, and Sony became After that ,

MGM went through many reorganizations, and was finally acquired by Amazon on May 26, 2021.)

Taking over MGM is like taking over a hot potato

"Forget it, we simply can't afford it now, and I don't want to buy it either. Although Martin coveted MGM's film library, he really couldn't afford it, and he didn't want to be the gambling king's taker.

Drew's regretful voice came from the other side of the phone,"That's a shame, this is MGM. Ah, MGM of"007""

"If MGM was willing to sell the film library alone, I would be willing to take over."Martin joked

"Okay, I can try to ask."Drew replied weakly.

She knew that this was basically impossible.

If MGM was willing to sell the film library alone, the companies and capital willing to take over would definitely be lined up from the West Coast to the East Coast!

That gambling king is not stupid.!

2002 has passed.

2003 comes.

January.

It’s new book release season again.

New episodes of Martin's Harry Potter and Twilight Zone released worldwide.

A big sale is foreseeable by everyone.

This is also true.

At the book signing in Los Angeles, Martin met another small acquaintance

"Are you, Taylor Swift?"

"Wow, you remember me, you actually remember me."

The girl jumped up excitedly

"Of course, I always have a fond memory for beautiful girls."

Taylor Swift's little face suddenly turned red.

The little girl is also thirteen years old this year, which is the age when love begins. When she is praised by her idol, she suddenly feels her heart skipping a beat and her ears turn red!

Martin Noticing the girl's embarrassment, she secretly smiled in her heart. This girl has not yet cultivated to become the future female Neptune. Her innocence is heart-pounding.

"Martin, you know, our family moved to Nashville, Tennessee, the country folk country, and I met a friend there named Liz Rose. We spend two hours every Tuesday afternoon after school writing songs"

"Martin, do you remember Avril Lavigne, the Canadian girl who came to you for an autograph with me last year. She released her first solo single"Complicated" last May, which ranked second on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She also won the 32nd Juno Award for Single of the Year and is said to have been shortlisted for this year's Grammy. , I don’t know if I can win the prize."

"Martin, you know, this time I came to Los Angeles with my parents' friend Dan Demdreau, he is a music producer……"

"Martin, you know, I have a friend of the opposite sex named Drew. I used to like him, but he liked other girls, but I don't like him anymore.……"

After getting over the initial nervousness, the little girl regained her lively personality and started chatting with Martin non-stop.

Oh,"chat" might not be the right word, but she was talking and Martin was listening.

Until the people behind made dissatisfied protests.

The little girl finally reacted, stuck out her tongue, and left embarrassedly holding the signed book.

Leave the signing square.

Taylor Swift found Dan Demdreau's car.

A middle-aged man poked his head out of the car and smiled in a melodious tone:"Hey, does our little Taylor want her idol's autograph?"

Taylor also smiled and sang:"Of course, little Taylor Her idol is very considerate, he not only signed her autograph, but also wrote words of blessing!"

In Nashville, the two often played this game of singing daily conversations as songs.

Sitting in the car, Taylor showed off the book in his hand and said,"Uncle Demdro, do you want to see Martin's signature?"

"Of course, I heard that his handwriting is very beautiful."Dandemzhuo said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Martin's handwriting is really beautiful and indescribably pleasing to the eye."Taylor nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Dan Demuzo took the book, opened the title page, and saw a line of beautiful cursive characters:"I wish the beautiful Miss Taylor Swift to become a singing superstar in the future - Martin Meyer Sri Lanka."

Dendemzhuo smiled and said:"This blessing is really written in your heart."

"Of course, Martin is my friend."Taylor said proudly.

Dandemzhuo was about to return the book to Taylor. Suddenly his hand slipped, and the pages of the book opened a few more pages, and a piece of paper floated out.

"What's this?"

Taylor picked up the paper curiously, only to see that it was written by Martin in the same neat and beautiful cursive 643 style.

Just when she was chattering to Martin, she did see that Martin had written on a piece of paper. What is written on it? It can’t be a love letter to me?!

The little girl is nervous, curious, and a little expectant!

Tears on the guitar?

Is this a song? (Read Baoshuang novels, go to (Flu Novel Network!)

Taylor continued to look down, his expression getting increasingly excited.

Drew looked at me and I faked a smile so he wouldn't see.

Everything I wanted and needed for us to be.

I dared Bet that girl he was talking about was beautiful.

And she got everything I had to give up

……

Drew was talking to me and I was laughing because it was just so fucking funny.

But when he's with me, I don't see anyone else.

He said he was in love and he finally got it right.
