Several other majors have actually experienced this kind of pain, but in the seventies and eighties, especially after the eighties, things like Twentieth Century Fox have started to develop again.

Only the acquired Luen Mei and MGM, which acquired Luen Mei, fell behind.

Speaking of which, MGM was originally the No. 1 large company in the Big Eight, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was initiated by MGM, the Academy Awards were launched by MGM, and so on and so forth.

However, in the fourth or eighth year, MGM tragedy: Because it was a combination of film production, distribution, and theater operation, it was ruled by the U.S. Supreme Court as an illegal monopoly, requiring the production company to only control the film and give up the distribution and cinema business. This dealt a fatal blow to a large company like MGM, which combines production, distribution and screening, and cut off its main source of revenue.

Then with the popularity of movies, fewer people went to the cinema to watch movies, and MGM made matters worse again.

Due to successive losses, in 1970, MGM was bought by American gambling tycoon Kirk Kercorion, and then MGM became even more tragic.

After such repeated sales and purchases, MGM suffered a lot of hardships and lost more and more money, but this tycoon made a lot of money in and out.

The tycoon was not interested in movies, he was interested in MGM's large estate and glorious prestige. MGM has purchased a large number of properties as a backlocation for film shoots. Immediately after Kercorion took over, he built hotels and casinos in places that gave birth to many classic films, or simply sold them. Moreover, the golden sign of "MGM" was also written into the name of his gambling company.

The year before last, he sold MGM to CNN owner Ted Turner for $1.45 billion. But just 74 days later, Turner regretted it and sold most of his stake back to Kercorion for $780 million. By transferring MGM back and forth, Kercorion made hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention the profits from the hotel and casino built on MGM's estate.

It can be said that MGM at this time is a broken ship, no one wants to get on a broken boat, there are only three or four movies produced in a year, and they are all works that can't splash any waves.

At this time, MGM is desperate to have a good box office work to boost morale, and Qiao Feng has taken a fancy to the adaptation rights of an old movie from MGM decades ago, and at this time, if he cooperates with MGM, Qiao Feng can occupy more interests, and he can also get closer to MGM.

Qiao Feng understands the principle of interest equalization very well, everyone makes money, so that it is not easy to be encouraged by everyone's hostility.

In the past, I didn't cooperate, mainly because there were not many movies made in Hollywood every year, and I didn't get famous at the beginning, and I didn't have much fame, so it was difficult for the United States to get much of a voice.

Not to mention cooperation, a few years ago, in order to push Cheng Long to Hollywood, Golden Harvest invested in several movies such as Killer Trench, Cannonball Flying Car, Weilong Fierce General, etc., which were all independently invested by Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest was the only producer, and the decision of the movie was in the hands of the director and producer at that time.

Golden Harvest fully invested in the movie, but the power is in the hands of the Hollywood director and producer they invited, Cheng Long is not used to the style of American directors, he is angry and hides and cries, but he still has no way, he has to shoot according to other people's requirements, and even the final editing is up to them.

The obvious status quo is like that, if you can't do it, people won't take you seriously, you can't be an investor, let alone cooperate with several major universities, and it is impossible to have any right to speak.

But now it's different, every movie has made money for many years, and it's basically a big profit, which has long made Qiao Feng's reputation widely known in the Hollywood film circle.

At this time, whether it is because of Qiao Feng's ability or for his own interests, anyone who cooperates with Qiao Feng will never ignore Qiao Feng's opinion, let alone take it for granted that they have the final say on how to make the movie.

On the contrary, when Qiao Feng asks him to shoot, they will shoot according to it, because Qiao Feng is not only an investor, a partner, but also has so many brilliant resumes, these are all confidence.

He is not afraid of the opinions of the people he cooperates with, and he is unwilling to do so.

Therefore, at this time, Qiao Feng took out three projects and cooperated with three companies at once, because he had this confidence.

Li Zhi and Shi Nansheng led people to go out together and negotiate separately.

Lucasfilm was the first to finish the talks, Spielberg agreed to be the director, and Captain Hook officially started the project and began to enter the preparation stage.

After that, there is MGM, this company really needs a good project, coupled with repeated losses, it has long been unqualified to pick and choose, and there are no hole cards in the negotiations.

Qiao Feng and MGM collaborated on a story about a father's reluctance to marry his daughter, from reluctance to relief.

This film is an adaptation of the 1950 MGM film.

The film explores the complex feelings of a father marrying his daughter in a relaxed way, and in addition to the joy, there are also touching moments when the father and daughter are relatively speechless.

The name of the old version of the movie is Father-in-law, and the name of the new version of the movie is naturally called New Father-in-law.

In this movie, Qiao Feng originally wanted to change to a Hong Kong background, or a Chinese background, but after thinking about it carefully, he still felt that it was not appropriate and did not meet the rules of Chinese marriage.

China has never been married by the woman to pay for the wedding, unless it is an inverted door. Even if the woman sets up a banquet at the time of marriage, she will not worry about too many people coming and feel sorry for the wedding cost. Because Chinese get married and receive gift money, compared to those expenses, the gift money received will only be more.

Therefore, if according to the plot in the movie, it is completely inconsistent with the marriage habits of Chinese. If it is changed to a Chinese background, Europeans and Americans may feel that it is no problem to watch, but if it is released in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it will definitely be sprayed to death.

So, think about it or just follow the original.

In the end, I talked about Twentieth Century Fox, a movie with Twentieth Century Fox, Qiao Feng chose a movie about a second-rate female singer in a nightclub who witnessed a murder and was chased by a gang leader, and the police arranged for her to hide in a convent, which triggered a series of stories.

After the negotiations, Qiao Feng and Qiu Shuzhen's propaganda journey also ended, and the rest of the time continued to be carried by Michael Kane, Qiao Feng and they flew back to Hong Kong.
