Although the final outcome of the United States Online is not good, it has had a glorious period after all, and it has not yet truly risen on the timeline of this life. It can be said that the future potential is unlimited.

So Xia Tian pulled out its information and told Michelle, "This company invests in me and you can earn as much as you can."

"Yes, boss." Michelle nodded quickly, "What about the others?"

"There is no need to invest in other things." Xia Tian waved his hand in disappointment, "There is no decent company."

"No way?!" Michelle saw that she had collected information from hundreds of companies, but Xia Tian finally chose one to invest, which was really unexpected.

Summer smiles slightly.

Seeing AOL, he realized that the direction of his investment should have changed.

Cisco, Seagate, SanDisk, Kingston, HP, ibm, Intel, ATI, etc., which he previously invested in are hardware companies, while Microsoft, Oracle, Odobe, Symantec, ea, estood, etc. are all software companies.

These investments seem to be different, but they actually belong to computer companies. He has basically acquired all the hardware and software suppliers used by computers, such as hard disks, chips, memory, graphics cards, routing, operating systems, security software, data software, electronic games, etc. The remaining computer companies, even if there are leaks, I believe there will be no big losses.

With the gradual popularity of the Internet, the era of the Internet is approaching, and he should switch to investing in Internet companies. For example, Yahoo, Google, Amazon, EBay, Facebook, etc. Compared with computer companies, these Internet companies have higher market value and broader investment prospects.

"Michelle, your focus in the future is on companies that provide Internet services, like AOL." Xia Tian instructed, "The information is collected and reported to me once a month."

"Okay, boss." Michelle nodded quickly when she heard this.

"Then let's settle it." Xia Tian smiled immediately.

This time he was able to find American Online and find several companies such as Nokia, At&T, Sprint, etc., and he was already satisfied.

...

After Michelle left, Xia Tian met Lang Meyer again.

"Boss, you're here~" Long Mayer was very happy to see Xia Tian, ​​and his eyes were smiling into a crack.

Xia Tian nodded, "How is it, how is the company's recent operation?"

"Very good! The "Singing and Dance" we invested in was released in February, achieving a box office of more than 40 million US dollars and was widely praised by young audiences." Long Mayer smiled even happier. "There are also TV stations who hope that we can change the movie into a series and show it on TV stations to attract young audiences."

"Okay, then change it." Xia Tian nodded with a smile when he heard this.

In his previous life, "Singing and Dance" is a TV movie published by Disney and broadcast on its Disney channel, which has a high viewership rate of 60 million, and global audiences reaching 250 million.

The popularity of this movie made Disney profitable, and it is said that it earned more than 500 million US dollars. Therefore, it later produced "Singing and Dance Youth 2" and "Singing and Dance Youth 3: Graduation Season", which also made a lot of profits. In addition, the movie also made the protagonist Zach Efron famous, making him an idol of thousands of boys and girls.

"I can authorize you to change it." Xia Tian said again, "It can also be adapted into a musical. Then the country will go on a tour. I don't need to teach you this."

"Ah, a good idea." Lang Meyer's eyes lit up when he heard this.

If it is adapted into a TV series, it can be sold for a little money. If it is adapted into a musical, it can be sold for another money. In addition, it can be used to produce soundtracks, albums, dolls... and can continue to make money. If it is operated well, "Singing and Dance" may become Columbia Pictures' "Star Wars".

"Okay, what else is there?" Xia Tian asked again.

"Boss, are your Saw thinking about making a sequel?" Long Mayer asked again.

"Sequel?!" Xia Tian was stunned, then shook his head, "I haven't considered it for the time being."

He generally doesn't like to shoot sequels because he is repeating himself, which is not good for his own improvement. Moreover, the first film was filmed so well, even if the sequel was filmed well, it would not be a credit for it. Instead, he would be scolded if he was filmed poorly. Why bother? Therefore, great directors usually don't like to shoot sequels, and even if he is filmed, he will find another way and will not repeat his own routine.

"That's better to leave it to our Columbia Pictures for shooting. I promise you that you will definitely make it well and will not smash this golden signboard back." Long Mayer said immediately when he heard this.

"Saw" was released in 1987 and achieved a box office of over 100 million US dollars in the United States, with a cost of only a few hundred thousand US dollars. It is a typical example of making a big fortune with a small profit, and making a huge profit. It has also set off a wave in the field of American horror films, especially among many horror film enthusiasts.

In the early 1980s, American horror films ushered in a brilliant moment. The "Little Monster" series, "Ghost Street" series, "Moonlight and Panic" series, "Friday of the Thirteenth" series, and "Ghost Player" series, etc., all of which are novel in themes and unique in creativity, making the audience thrilling, screaming and exciting.

However, with the release of sequels, these previously popular horror films have gradually been rejected by the audience because they always repeat the previous routines and no longer have a fresh and exciting feeling. The box office and reputation of these movies have been declining year by year.

This also made the filmmakers very frightened, hoping to win back the audience's favor. But good horror film stories are not just there. They have also released many horror films afterwards, but most of them failed.

At this time, Summer's "Saw" was born out of nowhere. With its fresh themes, escape room elements, and questioning human nature, it won the love of the audience, and won over 100 million US dollars in box office, making it a hot commodity in the eyes of film manufacturers.

Everyone can see that as long as the sequel is not badly filmed, then you can earn tens of millions of dollars with the reputation of the first film. For most Hollywood film companies that are still in the middle of losses, this IP is really very attractive. For example, Warner Bros. proposed to Xia Tian to purchase the film and television adaptation rights of "Saw" two years ago, but Xia Tian refused.

"Forget it, if you leave it to you for production, you will definitely choose another actor to shoot, I won't do it." Xia Tian flatly rejected it when he heard it.

"Saw" made Di Long, Huang Zihua, Zeng Feng and others famous, giving them a certain popularity in the United States. In the summer, they are planning to use this IP to continue to help the Hong Kong film industry attract people to Hollywood.

If they are handed over to Columbia Pictures, they will definitely choose white actors to play, so wouldn’t their plans be ruined? So Xia Tian refused to do it!
