MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 154 Ready to go public?
"We can't turn Facebook into another YouTube, we don't have time, energy, and talent." This is the first thing Sean told Neil when he learned about the content of the upcoming Facebook board of directors In a word.
“Facebook is more valuable in the hands of Mark Zuckerberg.” This is the second sentence.
It is not a secret in the circle that Yahoo intends to acquire Facebook. Zuckerberg said that the other party’s bid of 1 billion can be considered. This also spread quickly, so Neil informed Sean as soon as possible. , I hope he can persuade Zuckerberg to let YouTube buy Facebook. Anyway, they just cashed in recently.
But Sean rejected his suggestion after careful consideration, very simple, they are too busy, although the capital game in the United States is quite perfect, just like Hollywood, no one is irreplaceable , but those geniuses always lead the way, like Steve Jobs. No matter how many people attacked him, they all have to admit that the miracles that Apple has shown proves one thing, this company cannot do without him.
Zuckerberg may not be able to reach this point, but for Facebook, it still has a great promotion effect. He himself started with technology. Although Sean can think of limited things, he also knows that Zuckerberg has been the CEO of Facebook from beginning to end, and Facebook cannot give him more voice in Hollywood, and YouTube has already achieved enough. It is better to let nature take its course than to take risks.
It can also be seen from here that Sean is not the kind of person who likes to take risks very much, and his previous adventures were all carried out with considerable certainty. So Neil didn't mention it after that, he just gave advice and Sean was the one who made the decision.
What's more, according to the news from inside Facebook - as the earliest investor and a major shareholder, Sean also has a few people who are familiar with them internally, and they don't want Facebook to be sold. So happy to pass on some news.
In short, someone asked Zuckerberg, it's a lot of money, but what do you do when you sell Facebook? After thinking about it, Zuckerberg replied: still do social networking sites.
And then, since the decision has been made, it is natural to maximize the interests, so Sean almost supported Zuckerberg at the meeting, and even drew a big cake.
If Zuckerberg really sold Facebook because of some butterfly effect, that would be ridiculous. Such a clear statement of support can stabilize Zuckerberg, increase his confidence, and reap his gratitude.
Sean doesn't expect the other party to be forever grateful, but at least it can let him know that he is his ally.
Don't talk about this, the meeting was over, Sean went back to the "Dark Knight" crew right away, and he went back on Sunday afternoon, didn't wait until Monday. You know, there was no footage of Batman on Monday, and Christopher didn't want him to come back early.
In the final analysis, it is still a question of professional quality. The feeling of returning to the crew ahead of time to prepare is different from coming back with a pinch. And... Sean privately listened to Christopher and Jonathan talk about their new movie, not the third prequel, but the idea of dreams that Jonathan and Sean had revealed before.
Although Sean volunteered and wanted to play the leading role in this movie, Christopher agreed temporarily because he liked to work with familiar actors, but as long as there is no preparation for one day, this matter Can't do it in one day.
Then, when the two brothers were talking about taking this time, Jonathan asked a question. If he also cooperates with Sean, will the audience feel fatigued?
Although he just mentioned it casually, Christopher didn't answer, but he didn't express his opposition clearly, didn't he? This is a little bad.
To be honest, Jonathan's concern is understandable. Although many directors like to use familiar actors, if they cooperate too much, the same face will always appear on the big screen, and the audience will inevitably be distracted. field feeling.
Of course, as long as you are an actor, you will encounter this kind of problem, so acting is very important, and many actors play the role as themselves.
This situation is especially serious for superheroes. When an actor becomes the spokesperson of a superhero, no matter what role he plays, people will always say that a certain hero has appeared, which means that from From the beginning, the actors were not put into the film as characters.
That's why, the more a series is played, the further away it is from the Oscars.
Although Sean took advantage of "Batman" and believes that his acting skills can reverse this situation, this is still a series of movies, and the director and producer will also have their own considerations.
So, showing professionalism properly will definitely be helpful for future competition.
The time just came to mid-August, filming stopped, stopped filming, ended the location in Chicago and returned to the studio in Los Angeles for a while, the progress of "The Dark Knight" Finally, halfway through, and then the crew went to the UK.
Christopher is an Englishman, so naturally he will be filming in the United Kingdom. The first film is like this. Batman's manor and various warehouses are basically filmed here. Coupled with a series of tax rebate policies, the second part will naturally come here to take more locations and shoot more content, so Katie also followed.
"How is the scenery in the UK?" Sean asked on the chartered yacht, looking at both sides of the Thames.
"It's not that I haven't seen it." Katie pouted and looked unhappy.
"Okay, Katie, I just don't think Suri should be left at home alone, after all, we have to be out for many days." Sean coaxed.
"Then you can tell me, and then let the nanny bring her over." Katie was still a little dissatisfied.
"I'm just worried, after all, no matter what in the past, at least one of us could rush over when she needed it, so it's okay to leave for a day or two," Sean continued to coax, "But Not now, we can't leave her for too long."
Katie came to the UK with Sean, and Suri was left at home to be taken care of by a nanny, although this is not impossible, but Sean will stay here at least until the end of September or early October It took me at least two weeks to go back, although Katie wasn't that long.
In this way, the time is too long, which is not conducive to the growth of the little one, and she is not yet weaned, and it seems that there are laws that do not allow this to happen. While the filming was definitely on and off as before, Sean could use the gap to travel back and forth between the two continents, which is convenient for those with private jets.
But that's too tiring, and I can't spend too much time at home. If you order a Boeing 747 or Airbus A380, you can also order it, but the problem is that the former is the only model that is still in operation. The 747-400 no longer accepts orders at the beginning of the year, and the replacement 747-8 has not yet been officially put into service, and the latter will not begin its first commercial flight until October this year.
Besides, even if he can place an order, he will not be able to get it in a while, he will still have to renovate and hire a crew.
So, Sean, who loves his daughter more, realized this, and the nanny brought her over, but he didn't tell Katie until after he did it, so she was a little angry.
"Now you don't have to worry about being seen and known, eh?" Katie asked, pouting.
She also knew that it was inappropriate to leave Su Rui alone at home for a long time, even if there were a few nanny to accompany her, she did not object to bringing Su Rui over, she was just worried about what to do if someone found out , British paparazzi are very powerful. On top of that, just as Sean complained that Naomi was always focusing more on her son, she was always complaining that he was focusing more on her daughter.
"Unfortunately..." Katie looked worried.
"I know what you are worried about, but they will know sooner or later, instead of letting them know through the tabloids, you should tell them yourself, don't worry, I will face them with you. ' Sean said comfortingly.
What Katie is worried about is how to face her parents. As a Catholic, she is not only pregnant before marriage, but also has not married Sean. It is hard to say how the family will react . Anyway, she instinctively didn't want them to know. Obviously, in her heart, the prestige of the family is still very important, but it is also because of this that she has not let the family find out from the pregnancy to the birth of Su Rui.
So, when it was possible to go back and face it, she began to worry and nervous.
Actually, if possible, Sean hopes to keep it a secret, but as he just said, these things will be known sooner or later. For example, three weeks ago he saw the news that "King Kong actress Naomi Watts is suspected of having a child" on a blog that likes to spread gossip.
Fortunately, although the guy who wrote the blog swears that he saw Naomi with a child shopping, but the picture is so blurry that almost no one can see clearly, plus he I also admit that I noticed it with a glimpse when I was in the car, so basically it didn't attract much attention.
This is so, and it was reposted by several small websites, so Sean also called Naomi and told her to be careful.
So, when Alexander is a little older, if Naomi dresses carelessly on the street, it will be hard not to attract attention, to say that this is someone else's child... when everyone is a fool ?
Therefore, Sean felt that it was necessary to disclose to a certain extent. The consequences of his disclosure and being discovered by reporters are two different things, and the degree of control is also different. This is the judgment of the team behind them. Even if it is a little vague to them, it also conducts a detailed analysis and gives some solutions.
Of course, the solution still needs to be discussed. After all, Sean did not explain more, but he can do some analysis on this basis. It just happened that I had another opportunity now, so it started like this. Maybe I could tell Katie about Alexander and comfort her.
