A classic is a classic, and it can be said that it is very powerful. Nora Ephron immediately said that she had been signed by this script and was willing to sign a contract to Phoenix Culture America to be the director of this film, and at the same time she was glad for her choice.

For this director who is destined to become famous, he will not be too stingy, you must know that this is one of the important ministers in the original castle stone company, and he is no less important than the role and significance of the Seven Monsters of New Art City to the Golden Princess, how can he not be seriously wooed.

In the end, Mo Fei gave a treatment that made Nora Ephron a little unbelievable, as the director and screenwriter of Phoenix Culture, in the future, she can get five percent of the North American box office profit share for the movies she shoots and screenwriters, that is to say, the pink of the director and screenwriter is ten percent of the net profit of the North American box office of the movie, and it is guaranteed that there will be no less than one film job every year. This is an absolutely unimaginable contract for a new director.

Now she finally believes that Mo Fei is indeed not joking, and it is not a small amount to give 10% of the North American profits to one person alone compared to giving 30% of the global profits to three or more people. As far as a medium-income film of Phoenix Culture is concerned, the final profit of the box office of 80 million US dollars is about 30 million or more, even if it is only 5% pink, it has reached nearly 2 million, and today I definitely made the wisest decision in my life.

As for Nora Ephron's doubts about the heroine Meg Ryan, an actor who is not famous, Mo Fei smiled very indifferently and with certainty, and said, "Nora." Don't worry, this actor is not famous yet. But she's destined to be a superstar, and trust me, she's going to surprise you with this film. ”

……

After signing the contract and agreeing on the specific procedures for the work, Mo Fei sent Nora Ephron away, and after taking care of the rest of the work, she simply ate a bite to eat and waited to pick up Dai Mozhen at the airport. It's a bit exciting to think about, after all, I've been alone in an empty bed for a few days.

Both of them have been in the open world for a long time, and there are no other arrangements after meeting. Go back to the hotel directly and do what you should do, and you can put other things on the go first, isn't that what you want to do at night.

After the third spring breeze, it was already more than four o'clock in the middle of the night, Dai Caishen was lying in Mo Fei's arms, harassing Mo Fei with his head in a small area, but his mouth was very unreasonable: "That." Let's say okay first, you can't touch me anymore, or you won't be able to do anything tomorrow. ”

It doesn't matter so much, can you tease the uncle, does the uncle have to endure it, what can make a man do it? One turned over and pressed Dai Caishen under him. Spread his legs apart brutally, whipped straight onto his horse, and then stopped moving.

After Dai Caishen said with a "hmm" that seemed to cry and complain and gasped with white eyes, he said with a smile: "That's it, that's it." Let's stay in this position and get down to business. ”

"You're necrotic". Dai Mozhen was pressed under Mo Fei, and it was impossible to push Mo Fei half a point with all the strength of his body, so he had to beat him on the shoulder twice to relieve his qi, but there was no other way but to let Mo Fei come to him.

"Let's get down to business, and if you handle it well, I'll reward you twice." Mo Fei smiled shamelessly as he spoke, and continued: "Then let's talk about the history of MGM first." MGM was founded in 1924 by the cinema tycoon Marcus Lore and three film companies, including Metro, Goldwin and Louis Mayer. Before the fifties, it was the number one giant in the Hollywood film industry, and the current Academy Awards were founded by MGM.

MGM itself has always adhered to the tenet of 'art for art's sake', and has won more than 100 Oscars, with more than 4,000 films in its library. At that time, MGM was really beautiful, gathering the most famous and powerful stars in Hollywood, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Elizabeth Taylor, Fay Wenli and other superstars were all under MGM, so that MGM at that time had the reputation of "there are more stars here than heaven".

Unfortunately, in 1948, the antitrust law of the American industrial industry affected the film industry, and MGM was also dismembered because it had the most complete and comprehensive film industry chain, and the production company was required to only produce films, and not to take care of the business and theater business, MGM was forced to divest part of the business, completely shattering the complete industrial chain that had been tightly knit for a long time. But the funny thing is that now, those film companies that benefited from the antitrust law have all found strong backers, and only the MGM family is struggling to support it, holding on to the name of "the only independent production company among the eight major film companies".

If you want to talk about MGM's situation, in fact, it was not the worst at the beginning, but it is the worst now. It was the real doom that began when Las Vegas casino owner Kirk Klein, the guy who relied on boxing and private jet rentals to start on a stake and eventually bought MGM. This guy has no interest in the film industry itself, and his ultimate goal in buying MGM is just to get a lot of land in MGM's name. Because of the expansion of the film industry in the early days, many Hollywood companies bought a lot of location land, and these lands are indeed in the best areas today. He could trade the land and invest in hotels and casinos, and step by step he finally emptied MGM's deposits.

MGM, which has lost its effect, is naturally of little value in his opinion, but there are still people who are obsessed with it, and Ted Turner, the owner of Turner Broadcasting, is now also eyeing MGM. If I expected it to be true, the reason he bought MGM was very simple, it was for the rights to the more than 4,000 movies in the library, and Turner Radio was a cable TV company, and they needed the film rights very much. However, after getting the library, I'm willing to bet that Ted Turner will definitely sell MGM or dump it to his current owner, Kirk Cockline, and he will be able to get away with it himself.

None of these guys are fuel-efficient lamps, they all have crooked ideas, and if they continue to toss like this, MGM will really have nothing, and sooner or later it will be a defeat. Two days ago, the people at MGM came to talk about Pierce Brosnan's film contract, and I was still hesitating about whether to cooperate or not, but now I think MGM is also a good choice. How about it, are there any ideas and ideas? ”

Maybe this is completely true, because he is based on MGM's journey in his previous life, after Ted Turner took ownership of the film library, he immediately threw MGM back to Kirk Cockline on the grounds that he was unable to repay his debts. A few years later, an Italian unlucky guy took ownership of MGM through a loan from Crédit Lyonnais, but because he couldn't play the movie himself, and because he was cleaned up by the U.S. government because of economic and financial fraud, MGM fell into the hands of Crédit Lyonnais. A few years later, Kirk Coklein didn't know what he was crazy about, perhaps to achieve something through MGM, and bought MGM from Crédit Lyon again, and after many tosses and turns, MGM finally fell into the hands of the Japanese.

And the only good thing Kirk Coklein did for MGM was that after the acquisition of United Artists Films (United Artist Films - also known as United Arts), he did not merge United States' huge film library into MGM, and also allowed United America's equally large film library of more than 4,000 films to avoid Ted Turner's robbery. But because of the final acquisition, all the content of the film library became the pocket of the Japanese, and after Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, it once again acquired MGM and became one of the overlords of the film industry in Hollywood.

It's not that you can't see other people's money or anything, but knowing that MGM ended up like that, I didn't do it when I had the opportunity, and finally watched others play around and make a lot of profits, no matter how I said it, I was a little sorry for myself, it was really a bit too much.

As for MGM, there is no way to escape such a fate when left and right, and Phoenix Culture must have such a signboard to hang out if it wants to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood. So why not take advantage of the opportunity now, but wait until Turner-Broadcast takes over the film library, and then look at it dryly, even if it is a cheap acquisition of MGM, you will feel disgusted in your heart.

It's not that he hasn't thought about it, or he can work with MGM first, and then infiltrate and acquire step by step, and even Turner Radio can be used as an accomplice, just like he did with ATV.

But it was only a short-lived thought, and he quickly dismissed it. MGM and it is also completely different, although ATV is small, there are only two free TV stations in Hong Kong, and with the help of Phoenix Culture for so long, the influence ratio is not comparable to MGM today.

MGM now doesn't even produce double-digit films every year, and there are basically no films that are too good at it, Cockeline plays hotels and gambling, Ted Turner plays radio and television, no one will put their minds into movies, and MGM's fate can be imagined.

Therefore, he can cooperate with ATV, help ATV become bigger, and then attract people who come to make trouble, so as to help him finally become the owner of ATV. And for Mo Fei, with Jude Gen, an old fox, he is embarrassed to start, and only after the unlucky two men make a move, Mo Fei can pay attention to maximization.

But what about MGM, that is the eight major Hollywood studios in the United States, as the so-called 'skinny camel is bigger than a horse', more than 70 years of history has been accumulated, if MGM really has a chance to breathe, who would be willing to sell Ted Turner or Cockline, maybe never think about the idea of beating MGM again. If you want to take MGM, you have to take advantage of its illness to kill it, or even make MGM more sick, then it's easy to start. Of course, all kinds of interest still have to be recovered, such as the land that Cockline took away, which originally belonged to MGM, and if you want to buy it, you have to buy all the mustaches and tails, otherwise it won't be a rag.
