"The Rest of the Desert Island" tells the grand theme of how man and nature, man and society, and how man and himself get along with each other through the experience of the hero wandering on the deserted island for four years.

This type of movie was relatively rare in Hollywood in the early 20s.

On the one hand, it has two-thirds of the time, filming Tom Hanks alone, filming how he survives on a deserted island, how to overcome loneliness, overcome loneliness, and have the courage to fight against nature.

Uniform shows are always difficult to shoot, especially for more than an hour, which is a one-man show, which is a very big test for the actor's acting skills and story arrangement.

Fortunately, Tom Hanks' acting skills are good, so the one-man show that should have been very boring was actually very interesting and even became the most exciting part of the film.

"The Rest of the Desert Island" has a total investment of 90 million US dollars and a global box office of 303 million US dollars. It is a very good movie, with good reputation and box office.

...

Jerry Brookheimer is naturally aware of the goods. After reading these scripts in a hurry, he immediately realized the charm they contained.

"Mr. Xia, these scripts are really good." He said to Xia Tian with a smile.

"Since it's good, hurry up and start shooting." Xia Tian nodded, "Striving to be released next year."

"Okay, no problem." Brookheimer nodded, "What are your arrangements for the actors?"

"Then there is no need, just make arrangements yourself." Xia Tian waved his hand.

"Meeting in Father-in-law" was originally starring Ben Stiller, but Xia Tian had no relationship with him, so it was not a good idea to specifically call him. In fact, Xia Tian thought there were actually quite a lot of actors who were suitable to star in "Meeting in Father-in-law" and it wouldn't be embarrassing to let Jim Carrey play it.

Although Tom Hanks acted well in "The Rest of the Desert Island", he said that he would not be much worse than an actor who played the role of Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise or Jack Nicholson.

Russell Crowe was indeed good in "Gladiator", but if it were Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, and Michael Keaton, I believe there would be no problem.

As for "The Desperate Housewife" and "Looking at the City", they are both TV series that reflect the corruption of the middle class in the United States. To be honest, Xia Tian doesn't want Chinese actors to appear in such films and TV series.

"Really?! Thank you Mr. Xia." Brookheimer nodded happily when he heard this.

To be honest, although Xia Tian always chooses actors and is very suitable for the movie, as the chief producer, he still hopes that the actors will be arranged by him.

"You don't have to be polite. If nothing happens, I'll leave first." Xia Tian said immediately, "If you have something to do, please contact me."

...

"Mr. Xia, I have something to discuss with you now." Brookheimer said immediately when he heard this.

"Oh, what's the matter, please tell me." Xia Tian was stunned and then said.

"That's right, Mr. Xia, the United States wants to acquire our world production online." Brookheimer immediately said, "I just received the news two days ago."

"What?!" Xia Tian was stunned when he heard this. The news was beyond his expectations.

How could American Online think of the world production of acquiring its acquisition? It should obviously acquire Time Warner!

"Really, fake, how could it think of acquiring us?" Xia Tian asked in confusion.

"According to its meaning, it wants to be the center of the future online world, with text, charts, sound, light, video... so it wants to acquire our world production." Brookheimer explained, "because we have both film companies, comic companies, music companies... and our performance is the best in the United States."

"..." Xia Tian blinked and began to feel that the news was incredible, but after hearing what he said, it felt reasonable.

The reason why A. Online acquired Time Warner was because Time Warner was the hottest entertainment company in Hollywood at that time. Now, it is obvious that Tianxia Production is even more popular than Time Warner. However, it is not difficult to understand that American Online likes Tianxia Production and wants to acquire it.

"Mr. Xia, do you think you agree with or disagree with this?" Brookheimer asked again.

Xia Tian waved his hand, "Don't urge me to do it first, wait for me to think about it."

"Hey, yes." Brookheimer nodded.

...

After returning in the summer, I pondered the pros and cons of the merger and acquisition.

Mergers and acquisitions have pros and cons.

Advantageously, the summer was able to obtain a huge amount of funds. In the past life, the United States Online acquired Time Warner, which cost a total of 1,47 billion US dollars. But in fact, the book value of Time Warner at that time was only 1,79 billion US dollars.

Therefore, AOL is really a well-deserved sucker. If Xia Tian agrees to its acquisition, it can knock a lot of money out of it.

And summer also knows that although American Online is very popular now, its market value is as high as 160 billion US dollars, which is twice the market value of traditional high-tech company ibm.

But in a year or two, when the Internet bubble explodes, the market value of American Online will plummet and will eventually be replaced by other Internet companies.

Therefore, at that time, he can buy the world's production with a very small amount of money. After a while, making tens of billions of dollars is considered to be a small amount.

The disadvantage is that he founded the world production very easily, and he grew and grew very easily. Miramax, Orian Pictures, Marvel Comics, Universal Pictures, Universal Studios, Universal Music, etc. are all assets he has collected after only a little while.

If American Online is forced to sell these assets due to the Internet bubble, summer may not be the only buyer. If these assets are bought by other companies, it would be really bad.

So summer thought about it, and finally decided to have a good talk with AOL.

If it pays a price that is attractive enough, it doesn't matter if you sell the company to it, just add one to the contract. If AOL wants to sell these assets in the future, then you have the right to buy it in the summer.

...

After receiving Xia Tian’s response, Brookheimer immediately started talking to AOL.

American Online is now the world's largest network service provider, providing netizens with a variety of services such as dial-up Internet access, music playback, online chat, online paging, email, and web browsers.

Because it has a wide range of services and many users, its market value is as high as 160 billion US dollars. Even so, its stocks are still in short supply and the stock price has been hovering at high levels, so it is now rich and powerful.
