America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 300, Chapter 298: This is a busy month; everyone's getting married.

How I Met Your Mother, Eric's childhood memories, is also a standout sitcom since Friends.

The fact that the show has reached its ninth season speaks volumes about its quality, although it can't compare to phenomenal shows like Friends or The Office.

And it ended badly. Eric still remembers following the series to the very last episode, only to have his mother die right after she appeared, and then Ted and Robin got back together.

It felt like being doused with a bucket of hot water in the middle of summer; my whole body turned red and felt like I was about to explode!

I've been chasing after you for years, and this is the last thing you show me?

Even if you can't make up the story anymore, you can't just give me this perfunctory answer. What's wrong with letting Robin and Barney live happily together?

Why force Ted and Robin together? There are quite a few viewers who ship Barney and Robin. Damn, Americans have a thing for first love now?

Anyway, when I saw the last episode, Eric was so angry that he asked his friends to go out for drinks and vent his frustration.

The ending of "The Big Bang Theory" was also rushed, but at least it wasn't bad. Rushed and bad are two different things!

But no matter what, it still left Eric with countless wonderful memories, and also provided Wang Yuan and Wei Zheng with countless plagiarism materials.

"The Apartment That Loves to Copy" truly lives up to its name!

Eric stood up excitedly from his chair, picked up Judy, and gave her a big kiss, leaving her completely bewildered.

He wiped his lips with a hint of disgust: "You jerk, what's wrong with you? Are you going crazy? We'd better get married quickly, then I can get a share of your assets."

"Go away, you jinx! I'm just more happy."

"It seems this drama really moved you, but it seems you can judge its quality based on just the title?"

"Of course, sometimes good things only need a name, and these eyes have an extraordinary ability to see through many things."

"Then why didn't you stop me from bringing Balefali back?"

"Well"

"So MGM is planning to invest? Let me remind you, our model is different from that of television stations."

"Lionheart doesn't do pilot episodes. Once it airs, it's a full season. There's no going back. You'd better review the script carefully. After all, it's an investment of tens of millions."

Eric thought it made sense; what if it was just a very immature script? The better the project, the more seriously it should be taken.

"That makes sense, Judy Newhouse. You're truly my lucky charm, always managing to send me good things at crucial moments."

"Then you should give me a raise."

"No problem, your year-end bonus will definitely be much, much, much more than everyone else's."

"Tch! Empty words! I don't need your bonus. I'll get what I want myself. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

"Get lost."

With a snort, Judy turned and left. From an angle Eric couldn't see, she ran her fingers over the spot where she had just been kissed, then opened her mouth and licked it.

The taste seems alright.

The second season of The Walking Dead was an instant hit upon its release, with viewers giving it a very consistent positive review: it was entertaining and thrilling.

The addition of the governor, in particular, puts the main characters in a double threat from both zombies and humans, constantly surrounded by danger, and that high level of tension has always lingered with fans.

Moreover, while depicting intense conflicts, it also manages to showcase the characters' growth arcs.

For example, in the first season, Caroline was just a crybaby who was abused at home, but in the last few episodes she finally bravely picked up a weapon, and in this season she has bravely joined Rick's stormtroopers.

Kama is becoming more and more like a brave and daring female warrior; the woman who only knew how to cry is gone forever.

The reunion between Daryl and his brother Mor was particularly poignant, as Mor sacrificed himself to protect his younger brother.

Darabont did not undergo a redemption arc; More is still not a good person, but this highlights the complexity of the character.

Carl is growing, Glenn is growing, everyone is growing.

Even Lori and Andrea, the two women who often drag the team down, don't all have negative reviews, except for one character.

Maggie was implicated by Barrefarley, so no footage of her death was filmed; she was only mentioned by Glenn at the end as having been killed by a stray bullet.

As for whether Glenn will be paired with a new romantic partner, we'll have to wait until the next season.

The IMDB rating has been released. The score of 9.5 will definitely decrease as the number of ratings increases, but it will certainly not be lower than that.

It's early September, a Friday.

There were three invitations in front of Eric. The first one invited him to a wedding, Nicky Hilton's wedding, to Paris's sister.

Eric had met the two sisters quite a few times and knew that they were promiscuous and that promiscuity was commonplace for them.

So when he looked at this invitation, he felt like, "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Moreover, Nicky Hilton is 21 years old this year, and her husband is 33 years old, which is a bit too big an age gap.

However, the man named Todd Meester, who is a generation younger than the woman, must have some skills to have managed to get such a young wife. He is an elite professional who works on Wall Street and has a certain reputation in the financial world.

For both personal and professional reasons, he has to attend this invitation, but choosing a female companion is a bit of a hassle.

The second invitation was for him to attend a wedding, and the bride was Britney Spears, the childhood goddess of many people in China.

She will marry her dance partner in the middle of the month. The man is not very old, only 22 years old, but they are not a good match in terms of social status.

The wedding was a private affair, with only close relatives and friends invited.

When Eric received the invitation, his hopes of pursuing Lazy Girl vanished. He had originally planned to use the opportunity of writing a song for her to try and make things work out, but now he thought better of it.

He doesn't consider himself a good person, but he's not so despicable as to steal another man's wife away.

Okay, let's shift our focus to punk girl Avril Lavigne!

There have been quite a few celebrity marriages and breakups this year. Not long ago, Jennifer Lopez married her new boyfriend, but Benny's relationship didn't last.

However, Ben Affleck didn't lose out either; he lost Jennifer, but now another Jennifer has appeared by his side.

Despite the terrible Daredevil movie, his relationship with Jennifer Garner has blossomed rapidly, and the two are now inseparable.

Penelope Cruz broke up with Tom Cruise and found a new boyfriend.

Usher and supermodel Campbell have met each other's parents, and they are reportedly getting married soon.

Julia Roberts, the big-mouthed beauty, gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and is beaming with joy.

Princess Liv Tyler also had her own elf, but unfortunately, it did not belong to King Aragorn.

With each new life born, an old person passes away. Marlon Brando, the Godfather, died, and Christopher Reeve, the Superman, also passed away.

The third invitation was for this month's Emmy Awards, where several Lionheart TV series were nominated, but he wasn't too keen on attending.

I participated last year out of courtesy to you, but I don't want to give you that courtesy this year. I'm sure you can understand.

This is from the perspective of outsiders, not from the perspective of our own people.

Since ousting Allen Hasenfield and Eric becoming chairman of the board, Sergei has truly experienced the feeling of wielding real power.

The first thing he did, without a doubt, was to get a divorce.

The couple had always lived separate lives, and things were peaceful until he had been plotting for a long time and had hired a private investigator to obtain evidence of his wife's infidelity.

After some coercion and threats, he paid a sum of money to successfully divorce her, and now he has openly brought Kate Winslet into his home.

The couple is planning their wedding, which is expected to take place next month, and both Eric and Theron will be attending.

To put it nicely, they were matchmakers; to put it bluntly, they were pimps, but they were very successful at it.

After more than half a year of construction, the Hudson Yards has finally completed its renovation and is about to officially open to the public.

Besides renovations, significant progress has also been made in terms of theatrical genres thanks to the copyright support from MGM.

As the most popular movie right now, "Frozen" has also been adapted into a stage play, and Zhou Wenqiong invited Eric to attend the opening ceremony.

Xiao Liu also invited him to come along, along with his aunt and niece.

In the evening, at the Arc Cinema, for the premiere of "Marley & Me".

Although it wasn't a big investment, Eric was still very happy to attend because the leading lady was Rachel Jennifer Aniston.

As Aniston's first big-screen project after leaving Friends, Lisa Kudrow, who plays Phoebe, and Matt LeBlanc, who plays Joey, also came to support her.

However, her husband Brad Pitt did not appear, and the reason is simple: the media photographed Pitt seemingly having an extramarital affair.

Not long ago, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sparked a romance on the set of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith".

Although the media had no concrete evidence and the two had clarified the situation publicly, it still caused quite a stir.

As a time traveler, Eric naturally knew this was true, and Jennifer Aniston obviously knew it too, so it seemed their divorce was not far off.

But she still maintained a smile when facing the camera and her friends.

Eric hugged Aniston to comfort her, saying, "Jennifer, don't worry about those unhappy things. 'Marley & Me' will set the stage for your grand entrance on the big screen."

Aniston, her beautiful eyes wide, asked, "You think the box office will be spectacular?"

"That's right, heartwarming animal movies have always been a popular genre, and we can do it."

"Hehe. Thanks for your kind words. If the movie does really well at the box office, that would be one of the few good things recently, and I should be able to get more resources."

"I have another script that's quite suitable for you. I'll show it to you in a while."

"Why wait a while? Can't we do it now?"

"Jennifer, I'm taking into account that you need to do promotions for the movie and then take at least a month off."

Aniston quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, all I want to do right now is work. Work will make me feel fulfilled and will make me forget everything else."

Eric said "Oh," and understood; it seemed she was still very upset.

The plot of "Marley & Me" is not complicated: a young couple who have been married for a short time are planning to have a child.

However, because she was worried that she didn't have the experience to handle children, she decided to start by taking care of a puppy.

Having learned that Labradors are relatively obedient and easy to care for, Marley the dog entered their family.

Unexpectedly, Marley turned out to be incredibly mischievous, even more so than the husky, a notorious troublemaker.

It barks wildly when its owner is sleeping, poops when its owner is eating, and destroys the house when its owner leaves.

Watching the couple on the big screen, exhausted by Marie's antics, especially the scene where the dog swallows the engagement necklace, cheerful laughter frequently erupted in the cinema.

Just when the audience thought it was a lighthearted farce, the female homeowner became pregnant and had a stillbirth. Marley, as if she understood human nature, went from being boisterous to being quiet and stayed quietly by her homeowner's side.

However, the neighbors all criticized Marley for being unlucky, saying that its mischief caused the owners' miscarriage. Fortunately, the couple did not blame them.

The plot then unfolds just like real life, without any major ups and downs.

The woman became pregnant again and finally gave birth to twins. Marley sometimes turned into a house-destroying expert and sometimes into a loyal dog protecting the children.

As the children grew up and Mali grew old, it suddenly disappeared one day and was found barely alive.

There's a saying that when a dog senses its time is coming to an end, it will quietly pass away so that its owner won't see it die.

"Sir, its condition is very bad. Surgery is no longer possible. It's too weak and may not make it through the night."

"What! That's impossible. You're only talking about ordinary dogs. You have no idea how strong Marley is."

"It once ate an entire walkie-talkie, swallowed it whole, and it also took care of my sick son for nine hours straight, always faithfully guarding the child's side."

"Marley is a warrior, he will definitely pull through."

With its owner's encouragement, Marley managed to stand up, but its old age meant its body was no longer what it used to be.

They can no longer destroy the house, no longer bark wildly; they can only slowly follow behind their owner on walks.

Six months later, the dog closed its eyes.

The family buried it in the yard, and the lady of the house took off the engagement necklace that Marley had swallowed and buried it in the grave as well.

Before we knew it, the movie, which lasted for more than an hour, had come to an end.

The audience was filled with mixed emotions as they watched the family gather around Marley's grave.

This feeling isn't the kind of sadness found in movies like "Quill, the Guide Dog" or "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale," but rather a mix of sadness and warmth—the warmth of life.

The dog and its owner formed a warm family, creating a heartwarming drama for everyone.

It may seem ordinary, but it has deeply touched people's hearts.

This was evident from the applause after the movie ended; the audience liked this style and enjoyed the film.

In particular, that line from the movie is very memorable.

"A dog may not be as valuable as a villa, a luxury car, or designer clothes."

"But it doesn't matter if you're poor or rich, smart or clumsy; as long as you give your heart, it will repay you with its true feelings."

"I ask you, in this vast sea of ​​people, how many can do that?"
