When the box office of the new Dragon Gate Inn soared all the way, the United States also had good news, and the new father-in-law who cooperated with MGM also had a good reputation after its release, and the box office was equally gratifying.

In the first week of release, it won the weekly box office championship of the week, which can be said to be the best performance of MGM's movies in more than ten years.

The story of the new father-in-law is really good, but this is only for Europeans and Americans, South America and other countries that are deeply influenced by European customs.

For Southeast Asia, especially for the Chinese, then this movie is very bland, and occasionally two laughs can make people laugh twice.

No way, in the eyes of Americans, when the girl's father is very troubled by the cost of the wedding banquet, and even laughs at all kinds of savings in order to save money, the Chinese are absolutely confused.

What the hell, the money for the wedding banquet was actually paid by the woman, and the wedding banquet was also prepared by the woman?

Buddha, Jade Emperor, God, is this Nima a good daughter-in-law, the woman spends money and becomes an upside down.

This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures, Oriental people are normal except for the inverted door, and there is absolutely no woman who pays for a wedding.

But in the West it is different, the cost of marriage is from the woman's family, which is very similar to India, I don't know if it is the reason why India was colonized.

Anyway, in India, if the child is a man, then there is no need to worry, marriage is not a problem, but if the child is a woman, it is unlucky, not only need to prepare a dowry, but also need to prepare a rich dowry.

Otherwise, this girl will not be able to get married, and the girl will pay for herself to marry herself, and it depends on whether the man who spends a penny is willing to choose you.

Although the Western society is not so miserable, but the woman's wedding cost is the custom.

The diamond ring of the engagement is equivalent to the bride price, and the ring was given to the woman when the engagement was given, and it was the woman's, and there was basically no saying that the diamond ring would be returned if the engagement was canceled later.

The engagement ring is the man's guarantee to the woman, I want to marry you, this thing is naturally yours.

The difference between Eastern and Western cultures leads to the fact that the new father-in-law has not caused any big waves among the Chinese, no way, those few poor jokes are really not enough, that is, the main warm card for all ages can also attract some Chinese audiences.

But in the eyes of authentic Europeans and Americans, this movie feels very good, as a comedy, not only can the laughter amuse them, but also feel the warmth of the inner details between father and daughter in addition to laughing.

As a result, the box office of the new father-in-law has been climbing all the way and is about to win the box office championship in the second week of release.

At a time when word-of-mouth and box office were both bumper, the new father-in-law not only watched the movie for the audience, but the movie also showed a real-world America to people from other countries and new immigrants who had just arrived in the United States.

The American dream, and even the United States depicted by various well-known and people who studied in the United States, has all kinds of beauty in it, which is comparable to paradise on earth, such as the simplicity of American weddings, everything is simple, and so on.

But the new father-in-law showed everyone a real reality of the United States, and reports of big weddings have been heard from time to time, especially in Hollywood, where stars are gathered, and it is reported from time to time, who and whose wedding costs a lot of money, and how much it costs.....

In the wedding preparations of the new father-in-law, the movie mentions that there are more than 500 guests attending the wedding, and the average cost per person is 250 US dollars, that is, the cost of the entire wedding is about 500X250 = 125,000 US dollars, if you add the costumes, jewelry, etc. of the bride's family, it is about 150,000 US dollars.

According to 1988 U.S. prices, the average annual income of a bride's family was $35,000. In addition, according to the calculation that the housing price of most American families is about 3 times the family income, the house price of the bride's family in the movie is 3-50,000 US dollars, that is, more than a year's income, which shows that the local housing prices are relatively cheap.

Then in 1988, the average annual income of American families was more than 30,000 US dollars, which means that the wedding in the movie, the bride's family paid for the expenses equivalent to three and a half to more than four years of income, equivalent to 4-5 times the house price. Of course, the bride's parents may have slightly higher wages than those of the middle class, but considering the savings rate and loan spending habits of American families, the cost of this wedding cannot be regarded as "simple wedding, everything is simple".

The movie may be exaggerated, but the basic cost is not much different.

Qiao Feng also simply calculated this account, and after calculating, Qiao Feng felt that it was a great loss to give birth to a girl in the United States.

This is completely reversed from Eastern society.

Then Qiao Feng once again understood why this movie had a very average impact on the reputation of the Chinese.

This is really a huge difference in culture, I'm afraid it hasn't been the same for hundreds of years.

Fortunately, after all, there are still few Chinese and many whites in American society, so the final box office is satisfactory to Qiao Feng.

Of course, MGM is just as happy with its partner.

Even MGM's boss Corkrian, who had never contacted Qiao Feng since the negotiation with Qiao Feng was terminated, called Qiao Feng to thank him, and hinted that he wanted to restart the acquisition negotiations with Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng sneered in his heart at that time, thinking to himself what he had done earlier.Lao Tzu wanted to buy you, and the negotiations were almost over, but you also put aside Lao Tzu and hooked up with Sony, just because Sony bid higher.

Now that Nimasoni has kicked you away again, you're going back to find Lao Tzu.

Since being intervened by Sony, Qiao Feng has learned very calmly, especially when he is setting up Sony, he is even more calm.

Cokrian's hint Qiao Feng didn't understand, and the conversation was diverted in three or two clicks.

He won't be in a hurry to make a statement now, he's waiting, waiting for Sony.

Negotiations between Sony and Coca-Cola are progressing quickly, but Qiao Feng has asked Shi Nansheng to fly back to the United States a few days ago to give Coca-Cola a new offer.

That's $200 million higher than Sony's current bid.

Then Qiao Feng found that Lao Mei's companies are all very different, they are all reputable and moral, whoever bids the highest price will talk to whom, even if the two sides are about to reach an agreement, they can immediately turn their faces.

After Qiao Feng's new offer, Coca-Cola immediately sent people to Shi Nansheng to restart negotiations, and threw Sony aside.

Sony's negotiators were stunned.

"Mr. Joe, Mr. Joe."

"Sir, you can't go in, the boss is in a meeting."
