Jerry Brookheimer then took the three stories written by Summer, "Prison Storm", "Star Gate" and "Friends", plus several scripts he collected before, and led the team to attend the 1991 American Drama Procurement Conference.
With the blessing of summer fame, these three scripts immediately caused a huge sensation as soon as they were taken out and became the focus of many TV stations chasing.
Summer is not only the world's top rich man, but also the world's top screenwriter and director. He has also won the Golden Globe Award and awards from the Cannes Film Festival.
His works are also very popular. Not to mention movies and music, but only dramas, the "Beach Ranger", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Law and Order", "The Story of the Emergency Room" and so on, all have very good ratings and reputation. Even the unsuccessful "X Files" and "Sein Fei" are actually worthy.
Therefore, when we learned that there will be another new work in the summer, major American TV stations have snatched up, making Jerry Brookheimer the most popular person at the procurement conference.
"It's strange. Before, didn't Xia Tian's scripts be handed over to Columbia Pictures? Now why are they handed over to Tianxia for production?"
"Don't you understand this? At Columbia Pictures, Xia Tian is just a small shareholder. No matter how much money you make, it doesn't belong to him. But Tianxia Production is his own company, and he owns it, so he naturally handed the script to Tianxia Production."
"If that's the case, wouldn't Columbia Pictures no longer be able to get scripts from summer?! Then can it be as brilliant as it was in the previous two years?"
Everyone talked about it.
From the time he was on the verge of bankruptcy to now being ranked first among the six major Hollywood companies, Columbia Pictures has actually been thanks to Xia Tian’s help. The scripts he wrote were very good, which made Columbia Pictures produce many well-known and popular works.
For example, "The Little Owner", "Pretty Beauty", "Die Hard", "Fate Express", "Hangover", "Death is Coming", etc.
With these big-selling movies, Columbia Pictures made a profit of up to tens of billions of dollars, which also turned it into profits and became the most profitable film company in Hollywood.
It can be said that Xia Tian really made great contributions.
But now, Xia Tian has its own production company, and in the future, his resources will definitely be inclined to the world's production. Can Columbia Pictures repeat the glory of the previous two years without the support of Xia Tian?
No one is optimistic.
...
The three scripts that Brookheimer received were then snatched, but almost unsurprisingly they were all taken by Snow Media and CBS.
Among them, "Prison Storm" was won by Amc cable TV, a subsidiary of Snow Media. To be honest, a drama with such a dark and violent style can only be broadcast on cable TV.
Stargate and Friends were taken over by CBS (CBS).
CBS is one of the three major public TV stations in the United States. Its dramas are suitable for the whole family to watch, and there are almost no outstanding works.
In his previous life, famous American dramas such as "My Mom and Mom's Romance", "Everyone Loves Raymond", "Big Bang", "Bankrupt Sisters", "Two and Half-Hao", "The Good Wife", "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Naval Crime Investigation Office", and "Hawaii Spy" were broadcasted by it.
And "Star Gate" and "Friends", a science fiction film and a sitcom film, meet its requirements.
Seeing that Snow Media and CBS won these three scripts, the other TV stations were not satisfied and had to admit their heads. After all, Xia Tian and Xia Xue are brothers and sisters, and they are willing to cooperate, so what can they do?
The reason why Xia Tian and Xia Xue have this relationship is that they have to send Brookheimer to the American TV series procurement conference.
First, the rules are unbreakable. The United States once formulated special regulations in the 1950s to prohibit television stations from owning their own program production companies. Because this would lead to monopoly and other production companies would not have the opportunity to compete fairly. Therefore, major TV stations wanted to obtain programs, so they had to buy them from the outside world, which gave birth to the American TV Series Procurement Conference.
Although Snow Media, CBS and Xiatian Tianxia Production are actually the same boss, they cannot break this rule, and the process that should be followed must be taken.
Second, although Xia Tian is the only shareholder of Tianxia Production, Xia Xue is not the only shareholder of Snow Media and CBS. Therefore, even if Xia Tian gives these three dramas to Xiaomei, it is definitely for her and for the company, and it is not necessary to prevent anyone from thinking in a wrong way.
Therefore, it is better to compete openly and do things according to the rules, so as to avoid verbal disputes.
Third, the world production has just been established less than three months ago and is not very famous in Hollywood. It is just when it needs to show up more and become famous. Now let it participate in the American TV Series Procurement Conference, use these three scripts to attract popularity, and become famous all of a sudden.
You should know that the American TV Procurement Conference, all the American TV giants are very concerned about this event. As soon as there is news from the world production, it will immediately report nationwide, making its fame naturally rise.
...
While the world's production is famous, people will inevitably have questions about Columbia Pictures.
Before, Summer's works were always handed over to it, but now they are handed over to Tianxia. It is said that the sequel to "The Hangover" will be produced by Tianxia and will no longer be handed over to Columbia Pictures.
Without summer support, can Columbia Pictures still reshape its former glory?!
Many people are not optimistic about this, and this quickly reflects on the stock market.
Columbia Pictures' stock price fell by 6% in one day, equivalent to the evaporation of its market value of US$300 million.
Many shareholders and media also called Long Mayer to ask him what happened between Columbia Pictures and Xiatian, why Xiatian chose to start a self-employed business, and whether they can cooperate again later.
Faced with these endless problems, Long Mayer felt helpless.
To be honest, it is his freedom and his power to establish a self-employed family in summer. What qualifications does Talang Meyer have to ask?
Besides, whether you can cooperate depends on what Xia Tian means. He really wants to cooperate, but if Xia Tian doesn't want to, then he has no choice.
However, these reasons are not enough to make him explain to reporters and shareholders. After all, he is the boss of Columbia Pictures and needs to be responsible for the company.
Xia Tian’s departure was indeed a great harm to the company. If he couldn’t give a reasonable explanation, he would be irresponsible.
"Oh, can you tell them that it is because I don't want Xia Tianguan to steal and harm the interests of the company to make a profit? People don't believe it if they say this." Long Mayer said depressedly.
