After taking over Rainbow Media, just when Xia Tian was obsessed with recruiting soldiers and developing this company, another good news came from outside.

The movie "Sniper Telephone Booth" has been released for another week, but the box office has risen instead of falling. Such a miracle is really shocking.

This is mainly due to the fermentation of reputation.

Christmas is a traditional American festival, and because it is very close to the New Year, it usually takes a two-week holiday.

It is also because of this that the Christmas season has always been the most valued by film companies, and they have launched major works to attract audiences during this season.

The movie "Sniper Phone Booth" is not a big scene. It is a big star and a big production. It seems a bit weak in the Christmas season, so it is not valued by the public. In addition, the newspapers have a very low evaluation of it, so it is even less popular with the public, so the box office starts to be a little low.

But there are still people who are willing to try this movie. This is not surprising. Even the worst movies are supported by audiences. For example, those domestic horror movies, although they have low reviews, the box office is not low. A small cost of hundreds of thousands of yuan can often be exchanged for nearly ten million yuan. Therefore, more and more films are filmed, and they are becoming more and more rampant.

After watching it, most of them thought the movie was good. So they would recommend it during holiday parties, which gradually improved the reputation of the movie "Sniper Telephone Booth".

In addition to Christmas, many film companies launch family-friendly comedy films, such as "Three Dads and One Baby" produced by Disney.

During the Christmas holiday, you can be happy and happy. It’s understandable to watch comedy movies, but not everyone has the same taste. As the saying goes, there are 100 people, and there are all kinds of people. There are 1,000 people, and everything is all. The population of the United States exceeds 200 million people, and of course there are many flavors.

Some people don’t like to watch comedy movies and like to watch suspense thrillers. The only thriller suspense film released during the Christmas season, "Sniper Phone Booth", is their first choice.

Therefore, with the fermentation of reputation among small circles, the movie "Sniper Telephone Booth" has gained more and more recognition from more people, and the box office has also changed from cold to warm, and has not decreased but increased.

The box office in the first week was only more than nine million US dollars, but in the second week it reached 11 million, successfully recovering the cost. Not only that, the box office in the third week continued to be popular, and did not drop significantly, and there were still more than ten million. By the fourth week, the box office gradually fell, but it was more than eight million US dollars.

Finally, "Sniper Telephone Booth" was released for six weeks, with a total box office of 51 million US dollars. Compared with its $10 million cost, it makes more than twice the profit, which can be said to be a small profit. If you add the box office outside Shanghai, video tapes and TV authorization, etc., you will make more money.

Seeing the box office reversal of "Sniper Telephone Booth", the American media that had been complaining before were all gone now.

No more nonsense, such as "the movies made in the 16th day are rubbish", "the Chinese get out of Hollywood in the summer", "the wrong choice for Columbia's graduation film industry".

Before leaving the United States and returning to Hong Kong, Xia Tian appeared on the stage of "Larry King Live Show" for the third time. When she was interviewed by Larry King, she slapped these buzzing media with sharp and joking words.

...

On February 12th, the stage of "Lary King Live Show".

After acquiring Columbia Pictures in the summer, he accepted the media for the first time within three months.

"Xia, thank you for participating in our show!" Larry King smiled very happily.

In the summer, he acquired Columbia Pictures and became the general manager of Rainbow Media. It is rumored that this TV station was also bought by him, and the box office of "Sniper Telephone Booth" is so twists and turns, full of drama... It can be said that he is full of news and explosive points now, and it is worth digging in all media.

However, after he acquired Columbia Pictures, he has always refused interviews from all media, which has also made his news value more and more valuable and made people curious about his affairs. Therefore, this time he appeared on "The Larry King Live Show", which will really achieve very high ratings!

"You're welcome, this is my honor." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Ah, you've had a lot of news lately," Larry King said with a smile. "It's really great to acquire Columbia Pictures, Rainbow Media Holdings, and also make a very popular movie!"

"Thank you." Xia Tian smiled.

"Then let's talk about the acquisition of Columbia Pictures first. You bought this film company for a lot of money, but only became the chief art officer. Do you think you're losing money?" Larry King asked curiously.

"I feel like a little loss." Xia Tian said with a smile, "Actually, I originally wanted to be the CEO, but some Americans are too unfriendly to me.

They felt that my acquisition of Columbia Pictures was an insult to it, so they mocked, criticized and criticized me. In this case, in order to do my job better, I could only retreat."

When Larry King heard him say this, he couldn't help but nodded, "Yes, I think they're doing a bit too much."

"Yes, they thought I was insulting Columbia Pictures. In fact, what they didn't know was that Columbia Pictures would have gone bankrupt if it weren't for my capital injection." Xia Tian continued, "When I took over Columbia Pictures, I realized that its books were only 20 million US dollars, and all the things that should be mortgaged were used.

If I hadn't invested $150 million in time to give it the funds to shoot a new film, it wouldn't have even raised its second month's salary."

"Is it so miserable?" Larry King asked in surprise. He didn't expect Columbia Pictures, one of the six major films, would be in such a miserable state.

"It's just that miserable. Its debt is as high as $1.6 billion, and it has to repay its loans of $32 million every month." Xia Tian nodded and said, "If it does not introduce foreign capital, it will definitely not be able to escape the fate of bankruptcy and reorganization. By then, thousands of people may be unemployed and the lives of tens of thousands of people will be affected.

My investment has revitalized it, saved the jobs of thousands of people, and recruited 35 screenwriters again. I have made so many contributions, and I really don’t know why I have been subjected to so many unreasonable accusations and abuses.”

"Yes." After hearing his words, Larry King nodded in agreement, "Xia, please don't be angry. Most Americans are still very friendly. We welcome your investment."

"Thank you." Xia Tian nodded.

"By the way, did you acquire Rainbow Media Holdings? " Larry King asked curiously again.

"Ah, no, it was acquired by my sister." Xia Tian waved his hand.

Big news like Rainbow Media Holdings' replacement of its owner will definitely not escape the eyes of the American media. They dug out Xia Xue's information early, and thus learned about her relationship with Xia Tian.

Although Xia Tian and Xia Xue's relationship was exposed, the Federal Communications Commission still passed the review. The reason for this is that since Xia Xue has become an American citizen, she has sweared to the American flag that in their opinion, she is already an American. Her source of money is very legal, so there is naturally no problem with the acquisition.

After Murdoch became a U.S. citizen in order to acquire American TV stations, the Federal Communications Commission still passed his review. He did not ban his acquisition because he was just naturalized and his motives were impure.

"How much did this transaction cost? Can it be revealed?" Larry King asked curiously again.

"Two billion dollars." Xia Tian nodded and said.

"That's so expensive!" Larry King said in surprise.

"I think it's worth the money." Xia Tian said with a smile.

"Well, I heard you have gained a lot from this stock market crash, right?" Larry King asked with a smile.

Xia Tian nodded, "I made some money."

"About how much I made, can I reveal it?" Larry King said gossip again.

In this stock market crash, many Americans suffered a lot of losses and lost all their money. Therefore, profits in the summer are a big news.

"Well, it's almost 10 billion US dollars." Xia Tianfei's quick heart calculated and then said.

"What?!"
