1278 [Three on the Larry King Live Show]

"Good evening for everyone. This is the "Larry King Live Show" brought to you by Larry King." With the sound of music, Larry King said with a smile in front of the camera. "The guests who came to our show today are anti-terrorism heroes, famous directors, musical talent, and billionaire - Xia Tian. Now he wants to acquire Hollywood film companies again. It's such an amazing idea. Let us all welcome him to the show!"

After listening to his introduction, the audience was a little surprised. They didn't expect that the guest today would be Xia Tian. For this young man, their relationship was a bit complicated.

On the one hand, they admire his talent; on the other hand, they still mind that he acquired Hollywood film companies. Some time ago, the opposition was too strong, which made some people who were not interested in this misunderstandings about Xia Tian. Although the public relations team is working hard to eliminate the misunderstanding, there is always a lag in time.

Therefore, the applause was a bit sparse and the cheers were very weak, which was completely incomparable to the two previous appearances on "Larry King Live Show".

But Xia Tian didn't care and walked upstairs from behind the scenes with a smile.

Today he specially wore a camel suit and had a hairstyle with a back head. He looked mature and more stable.

There is no way, he is too young, just 22 years old. Not only is he young, but he also looks young, and people believe that he is a high school student.

If you are too young, you will not feel steady enough. If the first impression is not good, it will be difficult to correct it in the future. Therefore, in order to win everyone's trust, Xia Tian can only accept the opinions of the public relations team and dress himself up to mature.

Now wearing a dark suit and combing her old-fashioned hairstyle, she really looks much more mature. It’s said that someone is willing to believe it at the age of 30.

...

"Welcome!" Larry King smiled and stood up and shook his hand, "Please sit."

Xia Tian nodded and sat down.

"Sum, I heard you are going to acquire a Hollywood film company?" Larry King asked with a smile.

"Not bad." Xia Tian nodded and answered honestly.

"Why did you have this idea?" Larry King asked curiously again.

"Because Hollywood is a holy place in the minds of filmmakers all over the world, I am no exception." Xia Tian smiled slightly and explained, "My father is also a film director. I have been influenced by him since I was a child, so I have always yearned for Hollywood."

"So, you come here to buy because you like and admire Hollywood." Larry King concluded with a smile.

"Yes, I admire Hollywood from the bottom of my heart, so I want to stay and develop." Xia Tian said stingyly. This time he wanted to convince hundreds of millions of American audiences. If it is not a bit sensational or exaggerated, how can I win their favor?

"But some people think your acquisition is a cultural invasion and are worried that the native American culture will be tarnished. What do you think of this statement?" Larry King asked again.

"I think this kind of worry is really unnecessary." Xia Tian said solemnly, "American culture itself is a diverse culture. It absorbs nutrition from cultures around the world and learns from others' strengths, so it seems rich and colorful. This is also why the United States has been established for less than three hundred years, but its influence in culture is the world's number one.

Even if Hong Kong culture is imported into the United States, it will not tarnish American culture. Instead, it will add luster and make it more diverse and charming. Moreover, cultural exchanges and collisions will also promote cultural innovation and development. For example, the birth of rock music and jazz.

Therefore, I think the view of 'cultural aggression' is a complete misunderstanding."

After hearing what he said, many of the people present nodded, thinking that Xia Tian’s words made sense.

Back then, so many black people flocked to the United States, bringing African culture, music, dance, and even African voodoo religions, which once caused panic among white people.

However, the subsequent jazz, rock, hip-hop and so on created by black people, and the dance jazz, break-dance, street dance, etc. they created were still widely welcomed and became an integral part of American culture.

Regarding the influence of black culture on American culture, it is much greater than that of Hong Kong culture. However, black culture did not destroy American culture, but instead allowed it to grow and grow, and was widely welcomed all over the world.

So Xia Tian is right, and it is really unnecessary to worry that the invasion of Hong Kong culture will tarnish American culture.

...

"Well, then which Hollywood company are you going to acquire? Can you tell me?" Larry King also nodded with a smile, and then asked curiously.

"If someone asked me, I might keep it confidential. But you are my friend, then I will tell you." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "The company I want to acquire is Columbia-Samsung Pictures!"

"Wow!" Larry King screamed in surprise.

The audience was also in an uproar.

Colombia-Samsung Pictures has always been the pride of Americans. It has produced countless classic movies and won twelve movies in the Oscars alone, such as "Lawrence of Arabia", "One Night of Romance", "The Bridge of the River Kwai", "The Third Category of Contact", "The Kramers", "The Legend of Gandhi", etc.

These movies are both well-known and popular, bringing beauty to all Americans and leaving an indelible impression. Now, summer is involved in this company, which makes many people unable to accept it for a while.

"Get out, Chinese! Colombia is ours, get out!" At this moment, a person suddenly jumped up in the audience and shouted loudly to Xia Tian.

The atmosphere on the scene instantly dropped to freezing point.

Although the person who made trouble was soon invited by the security guard, the audience's expression of looking at Xia Tian became much more serious.

Many of them are also dissatisfied with Summer's intention to acquire Columbia-Samsung Pictures. Although they are not as radical as that person, it does not mean that they don't mind.

Xia Tian also noticed the reaction of the audience, and his face froze, knowing that it is not easy to convince these people. Because the people are ignorant, they are easily bewitched. Once they believe in those fallacies, it is very difficult to correct them.

In his previous life, Sony spent nearly ten years paying $3 billion in "tuition fees" to finally get these people and gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Fortunately, this is not a live broadcast but a recorded broadcast. The previous paragraph can be deleted. Otherwise, the person's voice would completely destroy his efforts these days.

...

"Xia, I'm so embarrassed." Larry King apologized to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian was the guest he invited, but was scolded by his audience so much, and he deserved to apologize to Xia Tian.

"It doesn't matter, I can understand his anger." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "But his anger was actually based on misunderstandings. If he understood why I wanted to acquire Columbia-Samsung Pictures, I think he would change his mind."

"Oh?! Then tell me." Larry King asked immediately.

Xia Tian nodded and raised a stack of documents in his hand and said, "This is my investigation for Colombia-Samsung Pictures. Since 1985, the number of movies it produces and releases each year has decreased year by year, and its profits have also dropped significantly...

Especially this year, the comedy production "Isda" it produced had a box office reputation, and it lost 40 million US dollars. Its debt is now as high as 1.3 billion US dollars.

Because of the decline in Columbia-Samsung Film's performance, a total of 325 employees were abolished within three years. At the same time, due to its production cuts, nearly 14,000 job opportunities were reduced within three years.

These data are not made by me, nor are they commercial secrets, but are public data. If you don’t believe it, you can check it yourself.”

After hearing what Xia Tian said, seeing the current situation of Colombia-Samsung Films is so sluggish, the audience here were a little surprised. They always thought Colombia was the pride of the United States, but they never expected that its operations were in trouble.

"Oh, why is this happening? I thought Colombia would not have any more trouble after being taken over by Coca-Cola. Why is it not possible now?"

"Fox was almost bankrupt before, but fortunately it was acquired by Murdoch. Now Columbia is in business difficulties again. What's wrong with Hollywood?"

"If Colombia is so miserable, it wouldn't be unacceptable to be acquired by the summer. It's much better than watching it go bankrupt."

The audience whispered. It would be difficult for them to become proud of Colombia now in such a recession, and naturally they would not be so resistant to the summer acquisition.

"If I acquire Columbia-Samsung Pictures, I promise everyone that I will increase investment. The first phase of the funds will be as high as one billion US dollars, and it is expected to create 3,500 jobs, provide 16,000 jobs, and create more than six billion US dollars in output value, and pay an additional 200 million US dollars in taxes." Xia Tian announced loudly again.

After hearing what he said, the audience was excited.

One billion dollars, more than three thousand jobs, more than ten thousand jobs, six billion dollars in output value, two hundred million dollars in taxes... This series of figures suddenly mobilized everyone's emotions.

If it is true that as Xia Tian said, there will be so many benefits after he acquires it, then it will be better to let him acquire it. It is much better than being occupied by Coca-Cola and allowing it to continue to decline.

"Xia, will you really do this?" Larry King asked with a smile.

"Of course." Xia Tian nodded with a smile.

"If you are really willing to do this, then I'm willing to support you!" Larry King smiled.

"A word is certain!" Xia Tian shook hands with him with a smile.
