Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

After Qiao Feng watched the nuns and crazy filming, the goal of this trip to the United States was mostly completed, and the rest was to talk to MGM about the release time and plan of the new father-in-law.

MGM does not have the money to do a good job of publicity, but without publicity, the box office of the movie will inevitably be greatly affected.

For MGM, no matter what the calculation is, they are very embarrassed. They want a high box office but don't have a publicity budget. They want to spend a small amount of money to do publicity, but they don't want to be affected by the box office.

For MGM, it is a dilemma, and for Qiao Feng it is a lot of harm but no benefit.

Because the responsibility is MGM’s business, it has nothing to do with him. At least the announcement fee was paid by MGM when the cooperation was originally set, and the announcement fee received by MGM is not a little bit, but a percentage. Seventh travel expenses, and promotional expenses are deducted separately.

Now Qiao Feng’s movies in the United States generally have the lowest 5% of the cost, and MGM’s 7% is very high. This is MGM’s use of the copyright of the father-in-law as a bargaining chip. Qiao Feng had to reluctantly give a 7% travel fee.

For Qiao Feng, since MGM was unscrupulous at the beginning, and now it will affect him because of lack of funds to promote it, Qiao Feng will certainly not be polite with MGM.

It's just what the announcement was originally set. As for no money. No money, MGM can either borrow it or Qiao Feng can give it out. However, if it is included in the investment, the proportion of shares must be discussed again.

MGM is naturally unwilling to talk about the share ratio again. They think Qiao Feng is based on their current financial difficulties, so he took advantage of the fire.

The negotiators on both sides argued for their own reasons, and they would fight for three points if they didn't. The talk lasted a week.

And when the negotiations were fierce here, on the other side, Qiao Feng was also arguing with Kirklian about the purchase price of MGM. One overwhelming asking price and one paying back on the spot.

After such a delay, time entered October. Then, on the first day of October in the golden autumn, when our country celebrated the National Day, Qiao Feng suddenly received a big bad news.

The acquisition of MGM has encountered an opponent, and is a giant opponent.

Sony from Japan didn't know where to get the news, and suddenly contacted Kirklian to buy MGM.

"Damn." Qiao Feng, who heard the news, couldn't help but explode.

Looking at him, he was about to discuss the price, but he was cut off by others. The cut off is not bad for money.

This Nima, the acquisition is about to end.

In the past two years, Japan's economy has been on the fast lane. No matter what industry you do, you can make money, especially real estate and stocks. It is really a fool to get in and make a lot of money.

Especially after Black Monday last year, U.S. stock prices set a record for the largest plunge in history.in case

As Japan raises interest rates, the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds, corporate bonds and stocks subscribed by Japanese financial institutions will inevitably decrease sharply, and the U.S. stock crisis will surely deepen.The Minister of Finance of Japan Miyazawa Keiichi agreed to the request of the United States to continue to ease the financial situation. The low interest rate policy with the lowest interest rate in history continues to be implemented, and the comprehensive policy aimed at expanding domestic demand continues to be implemented.

In this way, there is too much liquidity, and the excess funds are invested in price increases

With high expectations of stocks and land, the rapid increase in the prices of these virtual assets has created a "bubble" in the economy. Of course, at this time, almost no one thought this was a bubble in Japan. They thought it was God-blessed Japan, this was Japan The casting of dreams is an opportunity.

At this time, Japan has money and is very rich. Therefore, large companies are buying and buying everywhere, buying and buying everywhere. Not long ago, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries bought Rockefeller Center, and there are many tourist attractions and places suitable for living. I bought it by myself, and this is also a very large-scale immigration for myself.

Qiao Feng knew that Japanese companies would get involved in the entertainment industry, and would go to Hollywood to make trouble. Just like in the original time and space, Sony spent more than three billion US dollars to buy Columbia next year, and has been in control of Columbia for 30 years. , Even longer.

After Sony, another home appliance electronics company, Panasonic, also bought Universal Studios for US$6.59 billion in 199o.

At that time, the top seven and two in Hollywood were owned by Japan.

However, compared to Sony’s persistence in Colombia, Panasonic ended up dismal a few years later.

The assets purchased by Panasonic include: Universal Studios itself, mca television group, mca home video and pay TV; 4o% equity in odeon theater, global amphitheater, 5o% equity in CNN, and universal movies And TV database.

Of course, there is the Universal Studios theme park at the end, including the newly opened Universal Studios near Orlando, Florida in June 199o. This project is a joint industry of mca and the British Rank Film Company, and business is booming. Incredibly.

The transaction was finally completed at 1:25 am on December 3, 199o.The original chairman of the board of directors of mca, 1e Asserman, has cashed three hundred and fifty million in his pocket. From then on, he and the original president, Sid Sheinberg, can free their hands and concentrate on the management and operation of Universal.The company’s president was replaced by Akio Tani, and the chairman of the board was replaced by Matsushita Masaharu.

After Sony acquired Columbia Pictures, the latter had to face the severe reality of the film industry due to the serious lack of financial income of the latter.Soon, Panasonic also painfully realized that home appliance production and film production are two completely different industries. In the film industry, anything unforeseen will happen.

Take the fiasco of the film in 199o as an example. The film cost 40 million. The director was Sidney Po11ock, and the actor was starred by the star Robert Redford. In theory, it should have become a success. Blockbuster.

1991 was a disappointing year, and Universal still did not bring many surprises to its new owner.

The only masterpiece worth mentioning is director Martin Scorsese's thriller Cape Cry based on the remake of an old film by Universal in 1962. This time the remake used the superstar Robert De Niro in the United States. The domestic box office reached more than 39 million.

In 1992, the performance improved, and a comedy was launched, which was popular in the UK; the comedy also has Beethoven in my family, telling the story of a big dog named Beethoven...

Of course, the best movie of 1992 was Smelling a Woman, starring Al Pacino, with good acting skills.

After buying Universal, Panasonic's investment in Universal only paid back a few, and even made a lot of money, but it lost more and more. It was far more than the return.

In 1995, following the disastrous control of the budget directed and starring Kevin Costner, who was pinned to high expectations, and the year-end performance of mca TV in 1994 was extremely poor, the new president Yoichi Morishita decided to abandon mca at all costs. group.

At this point, the situation where the two major groups of Japan entered the Hollywood duo's battle for hegemony was instantly shattered.
