Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

When the box office of the New Dragon Inn was soaring, there were good news in the United States. The new father-in-law who cooperated with MGM was also very popular after the release, and the box office was equally gratifying.

In the first week of its release, he won the weekly box office champion of the week. This result can be said to be the best performance in the film made by MGM in more than ten years.

The story of the new father-in-law is really good, but this is only for Europeans and Americans or South America and other countries that are deeply influenced by European customs.

For Southeast Asia, especially the Chinese, the movie is very plain, and occasionally two laughs can make people laugh twice.

There is no way. In the eyes of the Americans, the girl’s father is troubled by the cost of the wedding banquet, and even when he laughs at various savings to save money, the Chinese are absolutely stunned.

What the hell, the money for the wedding banquet was actually given by the woman, and the wedding banquet was also prepared by the woman?

Buddha, Jade Emperor, God, this Nima is marrying a daughter-in-law, okay?

This is the difference caused by the difference between the Eastern and Western cultures. Normally, in the East, there is absolutely no woman who pays for the wedding except for cutting the door.

But it’s different in the West. The cost of marriage is paid by the woman’s family. The West is very similar to India. I don’t know if it’s the reason why India was colonized.

Anyway, in India, if the child is a male, then don’t worry, marriage is not a problem. But if the child is a female, it’s unlucky. Not only do you need to prepare a dowry, but also a generous dowry.

Otherwise, this girl will not be able to marry. The girl wants to marry herself, but the man who doesn't spend a penny is willing to choose you.

Although Western society is not so miserable, it is customary for the woman to spend the wedding. As for what the man gives, hehe, it is simple, diamond ring, diamond ring for engagement.

An engaged diamond ring is equivalent to a bride price. When this ring is given to the woman, it is the woman's. There is basically no such thing as saying that the diamond ring will be returned if it is cancelled after the engagement.

The engagement diamond ring is the guarantee that the man gives to the woman. I want to marry you, this thing is naturally yours. I want to regret not marrying, that is your compensation, you can sell it as a youth loss fee.

The difference between Eastern and Western cultures has resulted in the fact that the new father-in-law did not cause any major disturbances among the Chinese. No way, those poor laughs are really not enough, that is, the main warmth card that is suitable for all ages can attract some Chinese. Audience.

However, in the eyes of authentic Europeans and Americans, this movie has a great feeling. As a comedy, not only can laughter make them laugh, but also feel the warmth of the changes in the inner details between father and daughter.

As a result, the box office of the new father-in-law has been soaring and will soon win the box office champion in the second week of the release.

At the time when the word of mouth and the box office were harvested, the new father-in-law was watching the movie while the audience was watching. This movie also showed a real-world United States to people and new immigrants from other countries who have just arrived in the United States.

In the American dream, even the United States described by all kinds of well-known people who studied in the United States is full of beauty, comparable to paradise on earth; for example, American weddings are simple and everything is simple.

But the new father-in-law showed everyone a real American reality. There are often reports of big weddings, especially in Hollywood where celebrities get together, and there are reports from time to time. Whoever weddings cost a lot of money. How much.....

In the preparations for the wedding of the new father-in-law, the movie mentioned that 500 guests attending the wedding were in the early days, and the average cost per person was 250 US dollars, which means that the cost of the entire wedding was about 500 X 250 = 125,000 US dollars. If you add the bride’s family’s clothing , Jewelry, etc., about 150,000 US dollars.

According to the calculation of American prices in 1988, the average annual income of the bride's family is 35,000 US dollars.In addition, according to the calculation of the housing price of most American families about three times the family income, the house price of the bride’s family in the movie is 30,000-50,000 US dollars.

Then in 1988, the average annual income of American families was in the early 30,000 dollars. That is to say, the wedding in the movie, the cost of the bride’s family, is equivalent to three and a half to four years of income, which is equivalent to 4 of the house price. 5 times.Of course, the salary of both parents of the bride's family may be slightly higher than that of the middle class. However, considering the savings rate and loan consumption habits of American families, the cost of the wedding cannot be regarded as "the wedding is simple and everything is simple".

The movie may be exaggerated, but the basic cost is not much different.

Qiao Feng also simply calculated this account. After the calculation, Qiao Feng felt that it was a great loss to give birth to a girl in the United States. Not only would a girl who has raised it for more than 20 years lose money, but also a lot of money.

This is completely the opposite of Eastern society.

Then Feng Qiao understood once again why this movie had a general impact on Chinese people's reputation.

This is really a huge cultural difference, I am afraid it has not been the same for hundreds of years.

Fortunately, after all, American society still has few Chinese and many whites, so the final box office was satisfactory to Qiao Feng.

Of course, the partner MGM is equally happy.

Even MGM’s boss Cokerian, who has never contacted Qiao Feng since the end of the negotiation with Qiao Feng, called Qiao Feng to thank him, and also hinted that he and Qiao Feng would not be the same. Feng restarted acquisition negotiations.

Qiao Feng sneered in his heart at the time, thinking about what he was doing. I wanted to buy you at the beginning, and the negotiation was almost done. But you didn't want to get involved with Sony because Sony bid higher.

Now that Nimasoni kicked you away again, you have returned to find Lao Tzu again. Who do you think Lao Tzu is? Who do you think you are?

Since being intervened by Sony, Feng Qiao has been very calm in his studies, especially when he is setting up Sony, he is even more calm.

Kirklian's suggestion Qiao Feng didn't understand, and the conversation passed after three clicks.

He is not in a hurry to express his position now, he has to wait for Sony.

The negotiation between Sony and Coca-Cola is progressing very fast, but Qiao Feng has already sent Shi Nansheng back to the United States a few days ago to give Coca-Cola a new offer.

It is 200 million dollars higher than the current Sony bid.

Then Qiao Feng found that Lao Mei’s companies were so special. They had no credibility and morality. They talked to whoever paid the high price. Even if the two sides were about to reach an agreement, they could turn their faces right away.

After Qiao Feng’s new offer, Coca-Cola immediately sent someone to reopen negotiations with Shi Nansheng, and put Sony aside.

So Sony's negotiators were dumbfounded.

"Mr. Joe, Mr. Joe."

"Sir, you can't go in, the boss is in a meeting."
