The movie that Qiao Feng and MGM collaborated on was adapted from an old film from the fifties called Father-in-law.

The father-in-law is about a father's complex mood and change of heart when he marries his daughter.

Qiao Feng bought the film adaptation rights from MGM, and then used the adapted script to cooperate with MGM.

MGM is so poor that I can't see the financial rot at all, and I met an unreliable boss who only likes to speculate, so I was sold again and again, and MGM, who had no vitality in the first place, couldn't even take his last breath.

At this time, Qiao Feng said that he wanted to cooperate, MGM was like a life-saving straw, and without saying a word, he took out the only little money to participate in the investment, betting that Qiao Feng has been successful for so many years, and it is a big success, so this time it will still be successful, it will be very successful.

It's just that for MGM, which is struggling to return, the erosive financial situation makes them unable to wait even a little longer.

The adapted movie is called the new father-in-law, and it is about the daughter returning from a study tour in Europe! What a good news~~ But the next news made the protagonist Steve Martin feel bad - his daughter is engaged......

No wonder some people say that love is warm, beautiful and pleasant, unless it happens to your beloved daughter, no wonder some people think that daughters' boyfriends are their father's imaginary enemies. When a father involuntarily examines his future son-in-law, he is always afraid that others will not be qualified, and at the same time, he can't help but look at himself, always afraid that he will be old

。 Once, he repeatedly asked his daughter to put on a coat when she went out, but her daughter did not obey. But as soon as the young man spoke, his daughter immediately put on her coat. Alas, a little vinegar is coming up~~ Does all this mean that I am about to lose my daughter?

Interesting things happened one after another, when visiting his in-laws' house, the curious father took the opportunity to go to the bathroom and looked around the house, wanting to touch the house. I happened to see the passbook in the drawer, and I was about to look at it, but there was a loyal dog at home, so I chased him to the balcony and forced him to fall into the pool.

God, for his daughter's marriage, he really broke his heart.

This is a very cute dad who not only has to lose his most beloved daughter, but also has to pay a lot of wedding expenses. $250 for one person, 527 people for a banquet, and 8 Danish relatives to invite means paying for a round-trip ticket for 9 people, because one of them is too fat to make a seat for two...

"It's better to kill me," he said, immediately mobilizing the whole family to hold a meeting to reduce the guest list, and he wanted to cancel his youngest son's only friend, so anxious that the younger son said: "Let him come, he can skip eating." ”

Under the double blow, the father made a big fuss in the supermarket, and the "fate" made the last futile "resistance", but the daughter always had to get married, on the eve of the wedding, the father was lying on the bed, and a scene appeared in front of him, the daughter was still a little baby, she put on a bachelor's hat, she appeared at the corner of the stairs, slid down the handrail, and threw herself into the arms of the old father...

Actually, the father is not a miser, he is just reluctant to give up his daughter, he regards the wedding as a flood beast, and is afraid of everything about the wedding. Because their purpose was only to take her, to take away the little girl with glasses across his table.

The climax of the movie will be in a warm big party, a beautiful and grand wedding, and the lost dad has not been forgotten, and the ending is very warm~

Of course, for Chinese, such a film is actually not interesting. Of course, there will be warmth or something, but for those jokes inside, few Chinese can get it.

For example, the cost of those people attending the wedding is nothing to the Chinese, because the Chinese marriage is charged; The gift money and wedding banquet will also be determined according to the estimated gift money, so there is no situation where you feel that the guests come too much and you lose a lot.

As for saying that there are relatives who come to the wedding and give them round-trip air tickets, it is even more nonsense.

At most, it's good to come and arrange accommodation for them.

If you feel that you don't want to pay for the travel expenses to participate, then it doesn't matter, just bring the red envelope gift money.

Therefore, Qiao Feng was originally thinking about whether to change the movie to the background of Hong Kong, or to the background of Chinese, so that he and Wang Xianxian could play a couple again and get married in the movie.

However, it turned out that if you want to change it, it will be a big change, and after the big change, those original jokes have to be removed a lot, and the jokes that have to be removed are precisely the points that can arouse the feelings of Americans the most.

In this way, it will inevitably reduce a lot of word-of-mouth, which will affect the movie-watching choices of many Americans, and finally affect the box office of the movie.

Just to play a couple with Wang Xixian again, he ruined a movie and lost a lot of box office, Qiao Feng couldn't do such a stupid thing.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was better to shoot according to the story of the original time and space, after all, Americans love to watch it, and they can earn a lot more box office.

As for the idea that he wants to play a couple with Wang Xianxian again, at most, he will start a drama for himself and Wang Xianxian in the future, and take a few million to shoot it, which is far more cost-effective than losing such a movie that has a high box office in North America in the original time and space.

When Qiao Feng came to the United States, the filming of the new father-in-law had reached the countdown, and when Qiao Feng inspected the crew accompanied by the person in charge of MGM that afternoon, the final wedding scene was also filmed.

"Martin, this is Mr. Joe, Mr. Joe, this is Steve Martin, the male protagonist of the movie." The director replaced the person in charge of MGM and introduced Qiao Feng to.

"Hello Mr. Joe." Martin hurriedly reached out to say hello.

"Hello." Qiao Feng replied casually.

In the director's opinion, Martin, the absolute actor, must be someone Qiao Feng is willing to know and want to talk to.

Even the heroine in it, that is, the daughter of the character played by Martin, is a supporting role at best, and it is not as much as her mother's role.

However, the director probably didn't expect it, to say that Qiao Feng was most interested in the scene, but it was precisely the heroine who didn't have many scenes.

"Mr. Joe, this is the ....... who plays Martin's daughter"
