After retaining Long Mayer, Xia Tian then issued a statement saying that he is still the artistic director of Columbia Pictures and has not resigned. He will continue to serve Columbia Pictures and contribute his intelligence and talents in the future.

At the same time, he also announced that Columbia Pictures will work closely with Tianxia Production to continue to produce more and better movies for the majority of movie fans.

This statement soothed the hearts of many investors. In the following days, Columbia Pictures' stock price gradually rebounded. This statement also blocked the mouths of many shareholders and made them no longer embarrassed with Long Mayer.

However, this statement did not satisfy all media. They also wanted to ask more details of the cooperation and how summer can balance the interests between Tianxia Production and Columbia Pictures.

But Xia Tian ignored the questions from these media. Media will never be satisfied. They are like vampires, and their desire for news is endless. It would be fine to ignore them, otherwise once they speak, they will be able to ask endlessly.

In fact, the cooperation between Xia Tian and Columbia Pictures cannot be said too much. Because he used the chicken of Columbia Pictures to hatch the world and make his own eggs. It is too obvious that he is easily hated.

...

After solving the problems of Columbia Pictures, summer began to contribute to the world's production and pave the way.

Tianxia Production is now just a medium-sized production company. So far, except for one movie and three series production projects, there are no decent works.

If a company wants to develop and gain recognition from the industry, it must accumulate something. Works, fame, awards, etc. are indispensable.

But accumulation takes time and luck. Many companies have been established for more than ten years, and have been unknown now.

The world production is not short of luck. When it comes to summer, it is difficult for it to lose. But it lacks time. It does not want to take ten or twenty years to promote the world production.

And in order to accelerate, acquiring other film companies is undoubtedly a good idea.

Hollywood is now in a period of transformation. Those science fiction films made with model special effects in the past, those action films that are big-name and fucking to the flesh, have gradually lost the audience's favor.

Even classic series like Star Trek and action superstars like Stallone are not as good as before.

The era of computer special effects is still coming, and Hollywood is still exploring a new development route.

In this confused exploration period, even the six giants are not having a good life, and other small and medium-sized film companies are even worse.

Just like the famous Miramax Company, founded by Harvey Weinstein (the male lead in the Hollywood sexual disturbance incident), is one of the most important independent film manufacturers in Hollywood, specializing in distributing small and medium-cost independent films. Many movies in Hong Kong are distributed by Miramax. However, in recent years, it has been poorly managed and was forced to sell them to Disney in 1993.

In addition, like the same famous new line company, it once invested in the production of the fantasy masterpiece "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. It was founded in the 1960s and has been mainly used to produce and release low-cost horror films, such as the "Ghost Street" series, the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" series, the "Ghost Player" series, etc.

In 1993, due to poor management, it was acquired by Ted Turner, the boss of CNN. Later, Turner Broadcasting was merged by Time Warner and also obtained the New Line Film Company.

Even though New Line and Miramax are weaker than the six giants, they are already very impressive in Hollywood. Otherwise, Harvey Weinstein could not have covered the sky with his hands, and he has harmed so many people over the years.

Such small giants are difficult to survive, let alone other small and medium-sized companies.

Now Hollywood's fortune is sluggish, and many consortiums are not interested in it. They even believe that movies are already the dusk industry. With the popularity of new entertainment such as TV, computers, and electronic games, it is an industry that is destined to disappear.

So no consortium is willing to acquire film companies at this time. Even if they acquire, they buy cross-industry entertainment companies like the six giants.

In "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Merchant", the secret to doing business is that "I will win if I abandon you, but I will win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win if I win, I will not be interested in the film industry now.

Under such circumstances, Xia Tian was naturally happy to "abandon me." But he knew that Hollywood would usher in the next wave of prosperity. At this time, it was time to acquire film companies and expand its power.

...

The acquisition of film companies is to attract their film library. The film library is the foundation for a film company to establish its life. It can not only contribute a steady stream of income to the film company through authorization. At the same time, when the film company is short of money, it can also be used as collateral to the bank in exchange for working capital.

In summer, there are now cable TV like CBS, Snow Media, and video chains like Blockbuster... downstream channels have been established, as long as you have a film library, you can get it naturally and make money naturally.

The second is to be interested in their distribution channels. The so-called "chicken don't pee, each has its own way. The six giants almost monopolize the film distribution channels across the United States, but it does not prevent many small and medium-sized film distribution companies from taking advantage of the situation and establishing their own distribution networks in places that the six giants cannot cover.

For example, Xinyi Film Company is happy to cooperate with universities and cinemas in the community. The small and medium-cost horror films it releases are very attractive to these young students and the lower-level people.

Miramax Films likes to cooperate with some art theaters, and the small and medium-cost art films distributed are very popular with art film lovers.

Although Summer has the help of Columbia Pictures and does not lack distribution channels, it does not prevent him from launching a new system. The wider the distribution channels, the better for his movies.

The third is to be interested in their ability to make movies. Small and medium-sized film companies also have many talents. Many directors and actors start with small and medium-sized movies, and then become famous step by step, becoming superstars.

For example, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, etc.

In addition, many producers also start from small and medium-sized movies and slowly accumulate experience.

The so-called Mount Tai does not allow the soil, so it can become larger; the rivers and seas do not choose the fine streams, so it can become deeper.

To develop, the world's production requires a large number of talents to join. Direct acquisition of small and medium-sized film companies is much faster and more effective than slowly recruiting.

...

So in the summer, Jerry Brookheimer will launch a big acquisition in Hollywood.
