"Mr. Qiao, MGM's investment in the promotion of the Chinese community is not enough, and it is not in line with the signed agreement."

Edwin Cutham complained and immediately Lasseter picked it up.

It seems that these two heads of DreamWorks Animation Studios are full of anger towards MGM.

"Why didn't they follow the agreement? Don't they know that Aladdin is set as a Chinese?" Qiao Feng was furious.

Qiao Feng, who has more canvas arrangements and less layout, doesn't care, anyway, it's his own movie.But in terms of publicity, he specially told him to tilt to the Chinese community according to last year's Mulan propaganda investment.

But MGM's publicity and distribution department turned out to be inviolent, doesn't this take itself as a boss in his eyes?

After buying MGM, he didn't want the company to be turbulent, because MGM itself has been sad enough to be turbulent over the years, so Qiao Feng chose to maintain the status quo.

There are no major personnel arrangements and adjustments for MGM, what he wants is to get through the current predicament first, and then say, if it wants to develop well, it can even make no adjustments.

However, Qiao Feng found out that he was wrong.

His considerations, his kindness, and his maintenance of the status quo have not only not been recognized and thanked by MGM's departments, but they have even been treated as good people to be bullied.

even dared to fool him about the things he explained, and dared to disobey the yin and the yang.

If it weren't for Lasseter's suggestion that he was still in the dark.

It seems that the time for a purge is needed.

However, this matter is not in a hurry, mainly because he does not know about the personnel in Hollywood, and the personnel who have been cleaned up will probably not find the right person to make up for it for a while.

At present, the most important thing should be to change the general manager of MGM first, Qiao Feng doesn't know if the current general manager John is yin and yang, but it doesn't matter.

Even if he is not, if he is not able to deal with this kind of thing, it means that his ability is not good enough to hold such an important position.

It's just that who should be poached to be the general manager?

Qiao Feng has a candidate for Shirley Lansing.

This is arguably the most successful woman in Hollywood.

Shirley Lansing started out as an actress in Hollywood, but she only played small and little-known roles.

Later, I found that I really had no future in the actor industry, so Shirley Lansing left the entertainment industry.

In 1974 she joined Talent Associates, a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, which has produced such outstanding films as "Scarecrow Dogs" and "All Living Things."

After joining this company, Shirley Lansing began to develop in the direction of filmmaker.

That's when Shirley Lansing found a career path that really suited her.

After a successful run of profitable films, she became Head of Business Development and after just three years, was appointed Vice President, responsible for the company's film production and distribution.

In 1980, when Qiao Feng had just crossed over to Hong Kong, Shirley switched to 20th Century Fox Pictures as the general manager, becoming the first woman in Hollywood history to lead eight major film groups.

It's just that Qiao Feng himself knows that it is basically impossible to poach her.

Because the people themselves have already achieved the position of general manager of Twentieth Century Fox.

There is no need for MGM to be the general manager.

Besides, MGM is not as good as Twentieth Century Fox right now.

I'm afraid that taking out the position of MGM chairman may not be able to impress her.

And if nothing else, in two years, Shirley Lansing will be the chairman of Paramount Pictures.

This is a Hollywood tycoon who has become famous, Qiao Feng really wants to dig her into his hands, but Qiao Feng is unwilling to hand over the position of chairman of the group to such a strong person.

After all, MGM has just arrived in his hands, and his control over MGM is insufficient (if you don't want to fire people all day as a deterrent), it can be seen from the yin and yang of the Aladdin propaganda and publicity department this time, when Shirley Lansing becomes the chairman, there will definitely be a time when he disagrees with Qiao Feng, the boss, and at that time, it is easy to cause turmoil in the already unstable MGM, Qiao Feng doesn't want to see this situation.

Again, the price of poaching Shirley Lansing is too great, not only to give the position of chairman of the group, but her salary is also astronomical.

The most important thing is that if there is constant friction between Qiao Feng and her after digging up, if you want to get rid of it, you will have to pay a bigger severance payment.

In the same year that Shirley joined Paramount, Diller, the head of Twentieth Century Fox, resigned due to a conflict with the big boss of Twentieth Century Fox, two powerful figures, both of whom wanted to be the owner of Twentieth Century Fox.

However, Twentieth Century Fox is Murdoch's Twentieth Century Fox, not Diller's.

When Diller showed considerable master's will, Murdoch coldly threw out a sentence: "Twentieth Century Fox has only one owner, and that is me."

Then he was unwilling to just be a working boy, even if he was called the working emperor, but he was still a working boy, and Diller resigned.

For this, Twentieth Century Fox and Murdoch paid a whopping $140 million in severance payments.

If Shirley Lansing's joining MGM can bring MGM development without conflicting with himself, Qiao Feng can't afford the high salary, but for a professional manager like Shirley who has a high-level career for many years, being strong is inevitable, and it is impossible not to have conflict.

Don't spend a lot of money to poach people, there will be a conflict in two days, and then it will really lose your wife and soldiers.

After careful consideration, Qiao Feng felt that a person as successful as Shirley was not suitable to be poached to take charge of MGM.

The kind of talent who will be in the future but are only in the middle level at the moment is the ideal target.

Having made up his mind, Qiao Feng put this matter aside first, and who to dig will need to be decided after many investigations.

"I'll tell MGM about the propaganda of the Aladdin Chinese community." Qiao Feng said to the two of them.

Lasseter nodded, there is still half a month before the release, and at this time, the propaganda is tilted towards the Chinese community, which can still make up for it, and it will achieve a lot of results.

"You guys supervise MGM, I hope that before Aladdin's release, all the Chinese community can see Aladdin's posters, and all overseas Chinese can know that our movie protagonist Aladdin is from China."

"Understood, sir, we will do the relevant copywriting with MGM to introduce Aladdin."
