1278 [Larry Kim Mikami Live Show]
"Good evening, everyone, this is Larry King Live brought to you by Larry King. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Larry King said with a smile as he faced the camera to the sound of music. "The guest who came to our show today is the anti-terrorist hero, the famous director, the music talent, the billionaire - Summer. Now he wants to buy Hollywood studios again, which is a great idea. Let's all welcome him to the scene!"
After listening to his introduction, the audience was a little surprised, they didn't expect today's guest to be summer. For this young man, their feelings are somewhat complicated.
On the one hand, they admired his talent, and on the other hand, they were more mindful of his acquisition of Hollywood studios. Some time ago, the opposition was so strong that some people who were originally indifferent to this matter also misunderstood the summer. While PR teams are working to dispel misunderstandings, there is always a lag in time.
Therefore, the applause is a little sparse, and the cheers are very weak, which is completely incomparable to the two previous appearances on "Larry King Live Show" in the summer.
But Summer didn't care, and walked up to the stage from behind the scenes with a smile.
He specially wore a camel-colored suit today, and kept a hairstyle on the back, and the whole person looked mature and stable.
No way, he was too young, just twenty-two years old. Not only is he young, but he also looks young, and some people believe that he is a high school student.
And if you are too young, it will not feel stable enough. If the first impression is not good, it will be difficult to correct it in the future. Therefore, in order to win everyone's trust, Summer can only accept the advice of the public relations team and dress herself up to maturity.
Now wearing a dark suit and combing an old-school hairstyle, sure enough, the whole person looks much more mature, and some people are willing to believe it when they say that they are thirty years old.
……
"Welcome!" Larry King smiled and shook his hand, getting up, "Please be seated." ”
Summer nodded and sat down.
"Xia, I heard you're going to buy a Hollywood studio?" asked Larry King with a smile.
"Not bad. Summer nodded and replied honestly.
"Why did you have that idea?" asked Larry King curiously.
"Because Hollywood is a mecca for filmmakers all over the world, and I'm no exception. Summer smiled and explained, "My dad is also a film director, and I have been influenced by him since I was a child, so I have always had a longing for Hollywood. ”
"So, you came here for acquisitions because you like and worship Hollywood. Larry King concluded with a smile.
"Yes, I admire Hollywood from the bottom of my heart, so I want to stay and develop. Summer said sensibly. This time, he wants to convince hundreds of millions of viewers in the United States, and if he doesn't say it sensationally and exaggeratedly, how can he win their hearts.
"But what do you think of the idea that your acquisition is a cultural invasion and that the American culture will be tarnished?" asked Larry King again.
"I don't think that's a real need. "American culture itself is a diverse culture, and it draws nourishment from cultures around the world, so it is rich and colorful." This is also the reason why the United States has only been established for less than 300 years, but it is the world's first in terms of cultural influence.
Even if Hong Kong culture is imported to the United States, it will not tarnish the American culture, but will add luster to it, making it more diverse and attractive. Moreover, cultural exchanges and collisions will also promote cultural innovation and development. For example, the birth of rock and jazz.
Therefore, I think the idea of 'cultural aggression' is completely misunderstood. ”
Hearing him say this, many of the people present nodded, feeling that what Xia said had a certain point.
When so many blacks poured into the United States, bringing with them African culture, music, dance, and even African voodoo, they also caused panic among whites for a time.
But then jazz, rock, hip-hop, and so on, and the dances they created jazz, breakdance, hip-hop, etc., were still widely welcomed and became an inseparable part of American culture.
In terms of the influence of black culture on American culture, it is much greater than Hong Kong culture. But black culture did not destroy American culture, but allowed it to grow and gain widespread popularity around the world.
So Summer is right to worry that the invasion of Hong Kong culture will tarnish American culture, which is really unnecessary.
……
"Well, which Hollywood company are you going to buy? Can you tell me?" Larry King also smiled and nodded, and then asked curiously.
"If someone had asked me, I would have kept it a secret. But you're my friend, so I'll tell you. Summer smiled and said, "The company I want to acquire is Columbia-Samsung Pictures!"
"Wow!" Larry King exclaimed in surprise.
The audience was also in an uproar.
Columbia-Samsung Pictures, which has always been the pride of Americans, has produced countless classic films, including 12 Oscars for Best Picture alone, such as "Lawrence of Arabia", "One Night", "Bridge on the River Kwai", "Contact of the Third Kind", "Mr. and Mrs. Kramer", "The Biography of Gandhi" and so on.
These movies are all acclaimed and acclaimed, bringing beauty enjoyment to all Americans and leaving an indelible impression. Now, the summer is going to get involved in this company, which makes many people a little unacceptable for a while.
"Get out, China! Colombia is ours, get out!" At this moment, a person suddenly jumped in the audience and shouted loudly to Summer.
The atmosphere of the scene dropped to freezing point in an instant.
Although the troublemaker was quickly invited out by the security guards, the audience's expression on the summer was much more solemn.
Many of them are also unhappy with Summer's intention to buy Columbia-Samsung Pictures, and while they are not as aggressive as that man, that doesn't mean they don't mind.
Summer also noticed the reaction of the audience, and her face couldn't help but stiffen, knowing that it was not easy to convince these people. Because the people are ignorant, they are easily deceived. And once they believe in those fallacies, it is very difficult to correct them.
In its previous life, it took Sony nearly ten years and three billion dollars in "tuition" to finally get these people and gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.
Fortunately, this is not a live broadcast but a recorded broadcast, and the paragraph just now can be deleted. Otherwise, just that man's voice will completely destroy his efforts these days.
……
"Natsu, I'm really sorry. Larry King apologized to Summer.
Summer was a guest he invited, but he was so scolded by his audience that he deserves to apologize to Summer.
"It's okay, I can understand his anger. Summer smiled slightly, "However, his anger is actually based on misunderstanding. If he had understood why I had bought Columbia-Samsung Pictures, I think he would have changed his mind. ”
"Oh?!, tell me about it. Larry King then asked.
Summer nodded, raised the pile of documents in his hand, and said, "This is the survey I did for Columbia-Samsung Pictures, and since last '85, the number of films it produces and distributes each year has been decreasing year by year, and its profitability has also dropped significantly......
Especially this year, the comedy production "Ishda" produced by it has a waterloo at the box office, with a huge loss of $40 million. It is now saddled with $1.3 billion in debt.
Because of the decline in the performance of Columbia-Samsung Pictures, a total of 325 employees were laid off in three years. At the same time, because of the reduction in production, nearly 14,000 jobs have been lost in three years.
This data is not fabricated by me, nor is it a trade secret, but it is public data. If you don't believe it, you can check it yourself. ”
Listening to what Summer said, the audience here couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that the current situation of Columbia-Samsung Pictures was so sluggish. They always thought that Colombia was the pride of the United States, but they never expected that its business was already in trouble.
"Oh, how could this be? I thought that after Coca-Cola was taken over, there should be no more accidents. Why can't it be done now?"
"Fox had almost gone bankrupt before, but fortunately it was bought by Murdoch. Now that Colombia is in trouble again, what's wrong with Hollywood?"
"If Colombia is really in such a bad situation, it is not unacceptable to be bought by the summer. It's better than watching it go out of business. ”
The audience whispered. Knowing that Colombia is now in such a recession, it is difficult for them to be proud anymore, and naturally they are not so resistant to the summer acquisition.
"If I buy Columbia-Samsung Pictures, I promise you that you will invest more. The first tranche will be up to $1 billion and is expected to create 3,500 jobs, provide 16,000 jobs, generate more than $6 billion in output value, and pay $200 million in additional taxes. Summer announced in a loud voice.
Hearing him say this, the audience was excited.
One billion dollars, more than 3,000 jobs, more than 10,000 jobs, six billion dollars in output value, and 200 million dollars in tax revenue...... This series of figures immediately mobilized everyone's emotions.
If it is true, as Xia said, there will be so many benefits after his acquisition, then it is not impossible for him to acquire. It's better than being dominated by Coca-Cola and letting it continue to decline.
"Natsu, would you really do that?" asked Larry King with a smile.
"Of course. Summer smiled and nodded.
"If you're willing to do that, then I'm willing to support you!" laughs Larry King.
"It's a deal!" Summer smiled and shook his hand.
And the audience at the scene also applauded excitedly.
