2508 [Pick up big bargains]
The reason Xia Tian promised to help Michael was not because the dog took the rat - meddling in other people's business.
But because Michael is indeed a very good person, his actions can almost be evaluated by the word "saint".
He supported as many as 39 charitable organizations in his life, donating more than 300 million US dollars to charity causes around the world. Even in the new century when his finances were in a difficult situation, his charity did not stop.
Xia Tian really doesn't want him to continue to bear false infamous reputation for such a good person.
What's more, Michael is also the money tree of Columbia Records. His album sales often exceed 10 million copies, far exceeding singers during the same period, and can bring large revenue to record companies. In the summer, he doesn't want the company to lose this money tree.
Moreover, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the things hurt their species. The reason why Michael is so hostile and spares no effort to be smeared is largely because of his identity as a black man. People are angry that he, a black man, is so popular in the United States, so they are very fanatical to destroy him.
The same is true for Xia Tian. As his power in the United States gradually expanded, he also suffered a lot of discrimination. For example, this time the merger of the two record companies, those people jumped out to oppose crazy and spread rumors and slander him. It was really hateful.
It is precisely because of the same experience that he was resentful to Michael's injustice.
If you want to help Michael re-establish his image, it is difficult, but it is not completely impossible.
...
It is worth mentioning that the reason why Columbia Records did not whitewash Michael before was not because they deliberately watched it, but because they had no obligation at all.
In the United States, singers and record companies have equal status, and the two are simply cooperative relationships. Singers use record companies to release records, and record companies make money by releasing records. In addition, everything that happens to singers personally has nothing to do with record companies.
The real responsible for managing singers is the agency, but they are only responsible for helping singers manage their business and giving opinions on their acting careers. Whether the singer will adopt them is his own business.
In South Korea, Fusang, mainland China, Hong Kong and other places, companies take care of everything about artists, from career to life and even love, intervene in everything in every detail, and control artists like slaves. This is unimaginable in the United States.
...
After the holidays, we return to the company in the summer.
On the one hand, he sent someone to contact several investments he had agreed to, such as "Titanic", "Mission Impossible", "Ace Diary", etc.; on the other hand, he asked the public relations team to help Michael conceive a strategy to cleanse his whitewash.
The investment negotiations went very smoothly. Fox Company welcomed Summer.
Because if Xia Tian refused to take action, the movie "Titanic" would have to be forced to stop work. In this way, Fox's previous $1.5 billion was ruined, which was an incalculable loss for them.
Moreover, during the negotiation process, Fox also vaguely revealed that he wanted to sell the entire movie "Titanic" to the world for production.
The reason for this is that the movie "Titanic" was filmed for two years and only had the beginning, and it would take several years to complete it in the future. This has caused Fox to have a backlog of $1.5 billion in funds, making it difficult to recover, and seriously affected the investment in other movies.
In addition, the prospects of "Titanic" are unknown, so it is very likely that it will lose a lot of money, so Fox also wants to get rid of the burden. It just so happened that this "subjugator" is willing to take over in the summer, and it would be best if he could get it all over.
After learning the news, Xia Tian almost lost his teeth.
He originally wanted to divide a piece of cake, but he didn't expect that Fox was so "generous" that he was willing to give him the whole cake. This was really great, not to be a fool.
You know, the movie "Titanic" won a box office of 1.8 billion US dollars back then. The 3D version released many years later made a box office of more than 300 million US dollars.
In this way, the box office of the entire movie is as high as 2.1 billion US dollars. This does not count the cost of video rental, TV broadcast copyright, online video copyright, song copyright income, peripheral product income, etc.
It can be said that the movie "Titanic" is a powerful tool for money.
Fox is ignorant of gold and jade, and gives up such a good opportunity to make money. If summer doesn't follow, that's a fool.
It was a long time to dream, and Xia Tian immediately agreed to Fox's request and gave a price of $170 million.
Seeing that Xia Tian was really willing to take over, Fox hurriedly accepted the $70 million and threw the hot potato to him.
After the news came out, the outside world was in an uproar.
Some people say that the sucker in summer spent 170 million to lose a lot. Their reason is that if "Titanic" was made into a disaster film, there might be some people watching it. But if it was made into a romantic film, it was really not necessary to watch it.
Moreover, Hollywood movies related to ships have never had a good box office.
Last year, "Cutting the Throat Island", produced by Carloco Pictures and published by MGM, tells the story of a group of pirates snatching treasures. In terms of stories and scenes, it is no worse than "Pirates of the Caribbean". However, the film invested 90 million US dollars and the box office was only more than 9 million US dollars. It directly lost Carloco Pictures to bankruptcy and was forced to sell it to MGM.
The movie "Titanic" with the same name was 0, but the box office was only more than 10 million US dollars, which is not considered a big sale. Therefore, this movie "Titanic" is also destined to have a box office failure.
Some people also say that Fox doesn’t know the goods and has lost the great opportunity to make money in vain.
Their reason is that Xia Tian has extremely accurate investment vision, and since doing business, there have been almost no precedents of failure in various investments.
Especially his vision in entertainment is more accurate. Many movies were not favored before he invested, but after they were released, they could achieve very high box office.
For example, "Toy Story", the world's first feature-length 3D cartoon, was no one expected before it was released, but the movie ended up with a box office of 350 million US dollars.
Although "Titanic" is a film related to ships, it may not necessarily not be able to achieve high box office. Just like "Hunting Red October" is also a film related to ships, and "Captain Hook" is also a film related to ships, but they all achieved good box offices.
Moreover, James Cameron has never made a mistake since his debut. This is a genius director.
Therefore, it is very likely that "Titanic" will achieve a high box office.
Both sides have their own opinions and are invincible.
But they all know that it is useless to say that it is useless, and who will win in the end depends on his grades.
