"Mr. Joe, I heard you're going to collaborate on a movie with Lucasfilm?"

After breakfast the next morning, Qiao Feng and the others were about to continue to participate in another publicity campaign, but Robert, the head of publicity and distribution of Twentieth Century Fox, approached Qiao Feng and asked.

This opening scene Qiao Feng felt very familiar, and after thinking about it, he found that yesterday's meeting with Lucas was almost like this, and when he returned to the hotel, Qiu Shuzhen also said similar things.

"Yes, yes." Thinking like this, Qiao Feng nodded and said, almost the same opening sentence in exchange for almost the same answer.

"Did Mr. Joe negotiate with Lucasfilm, and I wonder if we at Twentieth Century Fox can participate in the investment?" Robert asked with a smile.

After Robert finished speaking, he saw that Qiao Feng was groaning and did not speak, so he continued: "Mr. Qiao should know that if we have our Twentieth Century Fox to participate in the investment, the follow-up distribution will be more secure, and we can get more canvases.

Robert said the truth, Lucasfilm does not have good distribution capabilities, and if it wants large-scale distribution, it has to find seven or eight big.But Qiao Feng still shook his head and said: "I'm sorry Mr. Robert, the funds for the films I cooperate with Lucasfilm are not a problem, and I don't need financing for the time being."

Hearing this, Robert looked disappointed, and in the morning the general manager called him to ask him to probe Qiao Feng's tone, if it was possible to persuade Qiao Feng to agree to the twentieth Century Fox to participate in the investment of new films.

It's just that Qiao Feng has always invested in his own production before, at most, he just asked Industrial Light and Magic to do special effects, Twentieth Century Fox has always wanted to invest but has no chance, this time Qiao Feng finally has the heart to cooperate in filming, Twentieth Century Fox naturally wants to participate in it very, very much.

Robert repeatedly promised that he would be able to convince Qiao Feng, but Qiao Feng said that he was not short of money, and he couldn't go on.

Yes, that's right, Twentieth Century Fox has the ability to distribute, but it can't use this to force Qiao Feng to cooperate, because the United States is not only Twentieth Century Fox has the ability to distribute, and Qiao Feng has not only cooperated with Twentieth Century Fox.

If Twentieth Century Fox talks about distribution, not to mention that Lucasfilm is either a vegetarian or Qiao Feng, he can turn around and find other companies.

"However, although this film cannot be cooperated, we can cooperate with other films."

Just when Rupert was disappointed and thinking about how he should reply to his boss so that he would not be considered useless by his boss, Qiao Feng suddenly said again, and then Robert's eyes lit up suddenly, and he asked with some excitement: "Mr. Qiao means that you have other projects in your hands?"

"Of course." Qiao Feng nodded proudly and said, "In the past, I had several projects to do in Hollywood every year, and there will be more in the future.

Robert didn't bother to wonder if Qiao Feng was bragging, he just wanted to make sure if what Qiao Feng said about having a project in his hand that he could cooperate with was true: "Then I don't know what project Mr. Qiao has in his hand?"

Well, this question sounds familiar.

Qiao Feng shook his head and shook off the idea that suddenly popped up in his head, and then said with a smile: "I currently have two scripts, both of which are comedies."

When Robert was about to speak, Qiao Feng waved his hand and said, "However, only one of them can cooperate with you."

The surprise on Robert's cheeks was reduced by half. The meaning of these two parts and one is very different. If it is two, he is overfulfilling the task, and the company's senior management will definitely be very satisfied with his work ability.

"Mr. Joe......" Robert paused, ready to fight for it, wanting to get the cooperation of both films.

As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted again by Qiao Feng waving his hand: "You don't need to say more, there is only one cooperation with you at present, and I bought the adaptation rights for the other part, and the object of cooperation can only be the company that sells the adaptation rights."

"I don't know which company?" Robert asked.

"MGM." Qiao Feng didn't hide it either, and replied directly.

"MGM?" Robert exclaimed, and then said eagerly, "Mr. Joe, how can you cooperate with MGM, they have been losing money year after year, and working with them will definitely be affected by their bad luck."

It's just cooperation, in Robert's eyes, Qiao Feng is like being targeted by the plague god, Robert's views and attitudes, Qiao Feng's heart is quite unpleasant, not for himself, but for MGM, for the title of the eight dead Hollywood Big.

Many people don't know much about Hollywood's big film companies, and they often hear people say that the big six, the seven, the eight, how can it be the big six, the big seven and the eight, how many are the big, and which ones are the big, it's not clear at all.

In fact, in the earliest years of Hollywood, there were eight major film companies: Warner Bros., MGM Studios, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, United Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Disney.

It's just that with the passage of time, some of the ups and downs of development are not very good, and they gradually fall behind.

The first to lose the eight qualifications was Luen Mei Film Company.

Luen Mei Pictures was founded several years before MGM, and its founders included Chaplin, the most famous comedy master.

Unlike other film companies at the time, Luen Mei did not have its own studios and had to rent space for filming, did not have its own hired movie stars and directors, and made films by investing in independent producers, and did not have its own cinema, so it signed contracts with distributors on a film-by-film basis.

So, in the fifties, when the American film industry entered a period of depression and recession, United States was the first to lose. Chaplin and Bickerley sold their shares to financial capitalists. After that, Luen Mei changed hands several times, and finally was acquired by MGM in 1981.

But in fact, at this time, MGM was just surviving, and there was no development at all because of the merger and acquisition of Luen Mei.
