Chapter 819 - Can Make People Laugh to Death (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
What is this?
Spoof videos?
They've seen a lot of spoof videos, all sorts of them.
But definitely did not expect to see a "spoof" video in such a place.
At the end of the video, the MGM logo appears, which is the most familiar thing for MGM people and a symbol of MGM's glory.
The reason why it is said to be strange.
That's because the roaring lion in the center of the logo has turned into a cat.
What the hell is this......
Mary Parentt and Gary Barber tried hard to keep their mouths shut, but they were shocked.
There is no way to get rid of this emotion.
"As you can see, the material for this video comes from a documentary that we have invested in, as long as it documents the world's felines, mainly cats." Pei Qianlong's words saved them and gave them the ability to gasp for air.
But those words were not enough to appease them.
Gary Barber gasped and asked in a very angry tone: "Do you want to replace the MGM mark, MGM has been sold many times, but never lost this mark, this mark is the most precious thing of MGM, you are a tyrannical thing......"
He was actually the founder of Telescope Entertainment in the past.
After the merger, he became a co-executive officer of MGM, in fact, only six or seven years.
It's just that in the past six or seven years, he has poured too much effort into MGM.
It's already inseparable from MGM.
That's why his emotions were so excited, but Mary Parente quickly calmed down.
She just thought it was ridiculous, and even wanted to laugh a little.
Gary Barber is right, MGM has gone through many acquisitions, but everyone buys MGM basically for its former glory, and naturally will not change the logo that represents its former glory.
"Mr. Barber, I can understand your emotions, but I hope we can communicate calmly, as far as I know, MGM's lion, so far a total of 7 lions have played, so there is no question of loss or loss, it has always changed, the current one is called Leo, right, he has roared from 1957 to now, very tired." Pei Qianlong explained very calmly.
"But you're wearing one...... A cat! Gary Barber pointed to the freeze-frame screen, his hands shaking.
"Barber, perhaps, we should leave behind the glory we have been caring about, and use a new attitude to create the glory of the new company." On the contrary, Mary Parente began to admonish her old partner, she persuaded: "Disney has no official version of the title for 48 years, only using subtitles to perfunctory, whether it is them or MGM, what really makes them brilliant is only the movie itself." ”
Gary Barber was speechless.
But he can imagine that once this funny new logo is transmitted back to headquarters, maybe someone will resign in anger.
And that's not all.
Everyone always has to eat, and they have to pay off their loans, and the real crisis is when a new movie is released.
This logo will make MGM a global laughing stock.
Maybe it can make people laugh to death.
The annual news will definitely be counted repeatedly, and then everyone will laugh again and again.
"Why, my friends, why do you have to change the logo?" Gary Barber asked bitterly.
He's sixty years old this year and really doesn't want to be ridiculed by all of Hollywood.
"Actually, my original intention was to buy Paramount, and we didn't lack the money for the acquisition," Pei Qianlong explained, "but our boss, he insisted on buying MGM, and the reason for the acquisition was ......."
The next words speak for themselves.
When Mary Parente and Gary Barber heard this, they thought it was even more ridiculous than MGM having its logo replaced.
Just to replace our lions, you spent $6.2 billion?
It's ridiculous.
It's so ridiculous that the two crooked nuts don't want to believe it at all, it's not that they haven't been in contact with the Chinese, Gary Barber has participated in the production of several Hollywood movies in Fang Long.
Obviously, Huaxia people are not like this!
"I know why!" Qin Bao'er raised her white and tender little hand.
"Why?"
Everyone was shocked, and even Shi Shanshan and Pei Qianlong were attracted to attention.
"The boss's office is Slytherin, indicating that he likes Slytherin, and the lion represents Gryffindor...... Well, you get the idea! Qin Bao'er felt that she had found the crux of everything.
"Oh, Bao'er, you're amazing." Chen Xiaoman was the first to agree.
Then, Mary Parentt and Gary Barber discovered that these Kleist executives were not only young, but also particularly naïve.
Innocent, canman.
Even their president, Shi Shanshan, had such an expression.
At least, these people aren't difficult to get along with.
Gary Barber could only comfort himself with this.
As for the ridicule to come, he hoped that there would be no hidden heart disease gene in his family.
"The film just now will be distributed by MGM in Europe and the United States, which is a small gift from the group to you." Pei Qianlong said.
"I'm looking forward to the joy of cat slaves around the world when they see this movie." Mary Parente was a cat slave herself, and she had three cats in the house, but most of the time there was always at least one or two more in the yard.
Gary Barber also has to admit that the documentary is of high quality.
Before the logo of the laughing man appeared, he and Mary were attracted to the beautiful quality of the graphics and the way they were taken.
"Next, let's talk about the development of MGM." Pei Qianlong solved the most important things and began to say something less important.
He actually had a headache.
If these two temporary executives refuse to change their logos, they would rather die.
It may even return to Migo to call on the current MGM to oppose it and get a break or something.
Fortunately, their receptivity is quite good.
At least not the kind of stubborn people.
What he didn't know was that MGM had gone through too many acquisitions and upheavals, and the old-school MGMers had long since lost their sense of honor in this upheaval.
They are not even as loyal as some of their fans.
When Gary Barber and Mary Parentt heard this, they were shocked.
Compared with the logo, they are more concerned about the development of the company and their own personal career development prospects.
"First of all, the group will give you an approximate ...... How much is 100 minus 62? Pei Qianlong didn't bother to think.
"Thirty-eight." Chen Xiaoman rushed to answer.
"Thank you, it's 3.8 billion US dollars, this will be used as MGM's development funds, by the way, MGM seems to have some miscellaneous industries, all of which will be disposed of, and the company will focus on the production and investment of films, and by the way, the distribution line, hotels, resorts, etc., all of them will be sold, and we will travel lightly." Pei Qianlong doesn't need to ask the boss for such a thing.
After all, the boss's main concern is the issue of replacing the lion's head.
