Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

"Mr. Joe, I heard that you are cooperating with Lucasfilm for a movie?"

After having breakfast the next morning, Qiao Feng and others were going to continue participating in another publicity event. As a result, Robert, the head of publicity for 20th Century Fox, approached Qiao Feng and asked.

Bai Qiaofeng felt familiar with this opening, and after thinking about it, he found that the meeting with Lucas yesterday was almost like this, and when he returned to the hotel, Qiu Shuzhen also said similar things.

"En, yes." Thinking about that, Qiao Feng nodded. Almost the same opening remarks in exchange for almost the same answer.

"Did Mr. Joe and Lucasfilm have reached an agreement? I wonder if we can invest in 20th Century Fox?" Robert asked with a smile.

When Robert finished speaking, seeing Qiao Feng hesitated and said nothing, he continued: "Mr. Qiao should know that if we participate in the investment of 20th Century Fox. The follow-up issuance will be more secure and we can win more canvas. On the contrary, Lucasfilm can’t do this. Lucasfilm has no large-scale distribution capabilities. They all want us to distribute their own films."

What Robert said is true. Lucasfilm does not have a good distribution capability. If you want a large-scale distribution, you have to find seven or eight big players. However, Qiao Feng still shook his head and said: "Sorry Mr. Robert, I and Luca The funding for the film that Sri Lanka is cooperating with is not a problem, and there is no need for financing for the time being.

Hearing this, Robert looked disappointed. In the morning, the general manager called him and asked him to explore Qiao Feng’s tone. If possible, he would try to convince Qiao Feng to agree to 20th Century Fox’s investment in the new film. The general manager said solemnly, because After so many years of Qiao Feng’s films, Fan Qiaofeng’s films have not been compensated, even the last emperor of the previous two years. Although there is no big profit, he has not lost. Even if he is not superstitious, Qiao Feng is always like this. Successful people should also be the goal pursued by all film investors.

It’s just that in the past Qiao Feng always invested in his own production, at most, he asked Industrial Light and Magic to do special effects. In the 20th century, Fox had always wanted to invest but had no chance. This time Qiao Feng had the intention to cooperate in filming. Century Fox naturally very much hopes to participate in it.

Robert repeatedly promised that he would be able to convince Qiao Feng. As a result, Qiao Feng said that he was not short of money and made it impossible to continue.

Yes, that’s right. Twentieth Century Fox has the ability to issue, but it can’t force Qiao Feng to cooperate with this, because the United States is not only the 20th Century Fox with the ability to issue, and Qiao Feng is not only cooperating with 20th Century Fox. Both Paramount and Global Qiao Feng have worked together.

If 20th Century Fox talks about distribution, let alone Lucasfilm is not a vegetarian, or Qiao Feng, they can turn their heads and find other companies. That would lose 10% of distribution shares, thousands of Ten thousand dollars in income, how can Fox in the 20th century be willing.

"However, although this film cannot be co-operated, we can collaborate on other films."

When Rupert was disappointed thinking about how he should reply to his boss so that he would not be deemed useless by his boss, Qiao Feng suddenly said something. Then Robert's eyes lit up, and he asked a little excitedly: "Mr. Joe means you have other items in your hands?"

"Of course." Qiao Feng nodded proudly: "I used to have several projects in Hollywood every year, and there will be more in the future. Projects have never been a problem for me."

Robert didn't bother to wonder if Qiao Feng was bragging. He just wanted to make sure that Qiao Feng said that there are projects that he could cooperate with. "Then I don't know what projects Mr. Qiao has?"

Yes, this question sounds familiar.

Qiao Feng shook his head to shake off the thoughts that popped out of his head, and then said with a smile: "I currently have two scripts, both of which are comedies."

When Robert was about to speak, Qiao Feng waved his hand and said, "However, only one of them can cooperate with you."

Robert’s surprise on his cheeks was reduced by half. The meaning of these two films and one is quite different. If they are two,

"Mr. Joe..." Robert paused, prepared to fight for it, and wanted to get the cooperation between the two films.

As a result, he was interrupted again by Qiao Feng waved his hand just as soon as he spoke, "No need to say, you can only cooperate with you on one at the moment, and I bought the right to adapt the other one, and the partner can only sell the right to adapt. company of."

"I don't know which company it is?" Robert asked.

"MGM," Qiao Feng answered directly without hiding it.

"MGM?" Robert exclaimed, and then eagerly said:'Mr. Joe, how can you cooperate with MGM, they have been losing money for years, and cooperating with them will definitely be affected by their bad luck."

It's just cooperation. In Robert's eyes, Qiao Feng is the same as being targeted by the plague. With Robert's view and attitude, Qiao Feng's heart is quite uncomfortable, not for himself, but for MGM. For the dead Hollywood Eight titles.

Many people don’t know much about the big Hollywood film companies, and they often get confused when they hear people say that the big six, the seventh, the eighth, how can they be the sixth, the seventh, and the eighth? It's totally unclear which is it.

In fact, in the earliest years of Hollywood there were eight major film companies: Warner Bros., MGM, Paramount Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Universal Pictures, United American Films, 20th Century Fox Films, Disney Pictures.

It’s just that with the passage of time, some of the developments were not well ups and downs, and they gradually fell behind. So it became the Seventh, then the Sixth, and in the end, what people often say is only the Sixth.

The first to lose the eight qualifications was United American Films.

United American Film Company was founded several years earlier than MGM. Among its founders is Chaplin, the most famous comedy master.

Unlike other film companies at the time, Lianmei did not have its own studio and needed to rent the space when filming; it did not have its own film stars and directors, and used the method of investing in independent producers to make films; it did not have its own cinema to distribute The film adopts the method of signing a contract with the distributor one by one.

Therefore, in the 1950s when the American film industry entered a period of depression and recession, United American was the first to lose. Chaplin and Pikri successively sold their stocks to financial capitalists.After that, Lianmei changed hands several times and was finally acquired by MGM in 1981.

But in fact, MGM at this time was just lingering, and there was no development at all because of the merger and acquisition of United States.
