1494 [Rule Breaker]
When Xia Tian angrily criticized the unscrupulous media, many American audiences also expressed their agreement.
They still remember the media’s previous reports on Xia Tian. Those articles were indeed overwritten, and Xia Tian really had reason to be angry.
"If I were written by them, I would have been so angry!"
"Xia Tian really should have the lawyer sue them. I think I will definitely get a very considerable compensation."
"Those media are irresponsible and write so badly that they should indeed reflect on it."
Many viewers expressed their support for Xia Tiandao.
After listening to Xia Tian’s interview, they thought he was really good. Not only did they save the troubled Columbia Pictures and save the jobs of thousands of people, but they also donated one billion Hong Kong dollars to do charity activities. They are a person who is both caring and responsible.
It is indeed unfair that the media said that he had been said before.
There are also some viewers who have long disliked the media's malicious, extreme, and irresponsible reports.
However, they have no right to speak, and no matter how dissatisfied they can't express their opinions. Now that they see Xia Tian saying this, they feel very happy and think Xia Tian has given them anger.
"Yes, those media are really messing around. They know how to report randomly all day long. It's really hateful!"
"Those media reports are just for sales, so what's the matter with fairness, neutrality and objectiveness!"
"Now media people really have no professional ethics. They only know how to attract sensation and spread rumors and slander!"
They all agreed, feeling that Xia Tian's words had reached their hearts.
However, after hearing that Xia Tian's words were heard by the media that had ridiculed them before, everyone felt unhappy, and their faces were so hot.
"Are you declaring war on us? You are overestimating your own abilities!"
"It was just a temporary lucky draw, and you won't be so lucky next time!"
"I remember you, don't worry, I will pay close attention to you in future reports!"
The media people sneered.
...
After finishing the show, Larry King said to Xia Tian worriedly, "Xia, you shouldn't be so impulsive. What you said just now is likely to offend those media, which will make your future situation very difficult.
They will keep causing trouble for you, and they will magnify little things, and they will pick on every move. They will try their best to ruin your reputation, discredit your image, and make you have nowhere to stay in the end.
I suggest you find a public relations company to help you settle this matter and seek forgiveness from the media so as not to end up in the end.”
Xia Tian smiled, "Don't worry, Mr. Jin, I know it in my heart."
He also knows the power of the American media.
The so-called "multiple words can sprout gold, and the bones are destroyed. Michael Jackson, the famous king of pop music, was originally a world superstar with a good image and a popular one. He was full of love and donated 300 million US dollars to charity organizations. He liked children and specially built a dream manor to entertain his little guests. He suffered from illness and vitiligo had made him unrecognizable...
But the media persistently smeared him, demonized him, said that he had become psychologically titanium, said that he hated his identity as a black man, so he bleached his skin and wanted to become a white man...
These malicious reports have caused Michael Jackson's scandal and his popularity has plummeted. Even if he is not at ease after his death, the rumors are still widely spread, which makes many people still believe it.
But then again, if public opinion is used well, it can also boost popularity and attract attention.
I won’t talk about the popular fresh meat in the mainland. Everyone is keen on hype. No matter scandal or scandal, as long as it can be made on the headlines, even if it is successful, it will be a dead star without hype.
There are also many things in Europe and the United States that are keen on hype. For example, the famous Kardashians have relied on hype scandals to attract attention and become a strange flower in the American entertainment industry.
Kim Kardashian was just a little follower around Paris Hilton. In 2007, she won attention because of the sex video incident. Then she took the opportunity to launch the reality show "Walking with the Kardashian Sisters" with herself as the protagonist, which became a hit.
In order to gain attention and keep her having a topic, she frequently changed her boyfriend. According to incomplete statistics, since she got married at the age of 20, she had dated a total of ten boyfriends, one per year on average. Moreover, the partners she dated were either film and television stars or sports stars, and each of them was popular, which made her gain a lot of attention.
After these hypes, the Kardashians also made great profits. Their income reached 65 million US dollars in just one year, which was more than the top stars in the world, such as Angelina Jolie, Sandra Brock, and Tom Cruise.
The famous pop queen Taylor Swift is also a good hype. She frequently changes her boyfriend, hypes a relationship with a high profile, breaks up after the hype, and then writes songs to commemorate her albums, making her albums sell... This has formed a fixed routine.
Therefore, it does not mean that the media cannot offend it. The key is that they have the strength and must be able to withstand slander.
Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift were still unharmed in the face of media and online attacks, but instead became more and more popular because there was someone behind them.
The reason why Michael Jackson was defeated by the media was mainly because he was isolated and helpless. The agency that was supposed to help him fight against these media outlets, not only did the record company not help him at critical moments, but instead put the blame on the ground. Because they felt that the dead Michael Jackson was more valuable than the living one.
The facts do prove this. Michael Jackson was burdened with debts and scandals during his lifetime, and had almost no commercial value. But after he died, the media retaliated for him, and the child who had previously accused him also stood up to clear his grievances.
So Michael Jackson became a superstar again overnight, with his albums selling well, his peripheral products selling well, and even his unfinished concert documentaries selling well at the box office, making the record company make a lot of money.
In summer, there is no need for the company to support him, he is the company himself.
He is now worth tens of billions of dollars and has a deep foundation in the United States. He not only owns a film giant like Columbia Pictures, but also a TV giant like Rainbow Media. He also has a lot of investment in Silicon Valley, and has deep friendships with many American politicians. It can be said that he has deeply rooted in the territory of the United States.
Even if those media are typhoons of level 12, they can't push him down. Instead, they can use the attention of the media to promote his movies, TV series, variety shows, etc. This is called leveraging the power to fight!
That's why he won't apologize to the media. Instead, he will continue to anger them and keep them paying attention to him. They will report everything about him and let him get publicity for free.
...
Let's talk about it a month ago.
After review, the Federal Communications Commission finally approved Xia Xue's application to acquire Rainbow Media.
Xia Tian then secured a loan of $2 billion for her sister in her own name, helping her to win Rainbow Media Holdings.
Then, Xia Tian matched up the cooperation between Columbia Pictures and Rainbow Media Holdings.
AMC TV station, owned by Rainbow Media Holdings, specializes in playing classic American old movies, while BRAVO TV station specializes in playing series. Columbia Pictures has 2,700 movies and 260 TV series with a total of 23,000 episodes. So their cooperation is a perfect match and complement each other.
Rainbow Media immediately acquired the use of Columbia Pictures' film library for $100 million. This not only alleviated Columbia Pictures' financial difficulties, but also made Rainbow Media add many high-quality programs and solved the problem of content shortage.
Later, Xia Tian also authorized the film library of Jiahe, Xinyi City, Siyuan Film, Film and Television, and other companies to Rainbow Media, allowing it to continuously play Hong Kong films on the AMC channel to cultivate audiences for Hong Kong films.
Later, Xia Tian directly founded the "China Dragon Channel" to broadcast Hong Kong-made movies and Hong Kong-made TV series, and achieved very good subscriptions. It was especially warmly welcomed by overseas Chinese, allowing them to see such wonderful Chinese-language movies in foreign countries.
In addition, Xia Tian invested 200 million US dollars, allowing SORTS-CHANNEL channel to broadcast rights for several sports events such as the NBA and NFL, and doubled its subscribers.
In order to stimulate subscription volume, he changed the SPORTS-CHANNEL channel from a paid channel to a basic cable channel. In this way, viewers can watch the program as long as they pay service fees to cable TV service providers, which has skyrocketed its subscribers and soon exceeded the subscription volume of ESPN's first channel.
This move also greatly dissatisfied and shocked ESPN Sports Channel, which was originally a leader in the world. You should know that the programs of the Sports Channel need to purchase authorization from those sports organizations, otherwise there would be no programs to broadcast at all.
The authorization of those sports organizations is not cheap. ESPN in his previous life had to pay the NBA's broadcasting fee of $2.6 billion every year.
ESPN's main revenue is audience subscription, accounting for two-thirds of its total revenue, and the remaining one-third is advertising revenue. It is precisely because of the money from audience subscription that it has the money to buy broadcast rights. It depends solely on advertising revenue, it must starve to death. Therefore, in its opinion, summer's approach is simply a loss of money and a desperate situation.
The boss of ESPN said that SPORTS-CHANNEL is absolutely undesirable and cannot be sustained, and is a doomed business model.
"I bet it won't last for two years. After burning out the existing funds, it will stop the game. And we, ESPN, will never follow this stupid approach..." ESPN's boss talked in front of the camera.
He described Xia Tian's approach as a business strategy that hurts the enemy by 800 times and damages one thousand of himself, which is an absolutely failed business strategy.
But Xia Tian didn't think so. His plan was to seize users for free first, and then make money by selling advertisements. Many Internet companies did this in their previous lives, and it worked. For example, the famous FACEBOOK, 97% of its revenue was advertising revenue.
Sure enough, when SPORTS-CHANNEL surpassed ESPN with a free strategy and became the number one sports channel in the United States with the largest number of subscriptions, those advertisers immediately broke the company's threshold.
After burning billions of dollars and struggling for two years, SPORTS-CHANNEL finally achieved profitability and turned losses into profits. At the same time, under the oppression of reality, ESPN was finally forced to bow its head, swallow what it said before, and chose to follow SPORTS-CHANNEL, and transform from a paid channel into a basic cable channel.
