After the release of "Home Imperials", the box office became popular no surprise.

In the first week of release, the box office has reached 80 million US dollars, which is higher than the total box office of "Die Hard" which has been released for two weeks.

However, the box office of "Die Hard" in the second week of its release also reached 45 million US dollars, ranking fourth in the North American single-week box office rankings. The first place is naturally this "Home Imp".

Seeing that two Columbia Pictures movies appeared on the single-week box office rankings, and the box office was so high, Hollywood was quite shocking.

You should know that before this year, Columbia Pictures had difficulty operating and was heavily in debt, and the accumulated debts over the years had reached 1.3 billion US dollars.

Especially last year, the blockbuster "Isda" starring Dustin Hoffman lost more than $40 million, almost setting a record of Hollywood's history. This also caused Columbia Pictures to suspend its production business.

But unexpectedly, since the summer took over, this company, which had already been stagnant, has regained its vitality. All the movies, dramas, and variety shows invested in this year have failed.

At the beginning of the year, "Sniper Telephone Booth" cost $10 million, North American box office $51 million, and overseas box office $45 million. Columbia Pictures' net profit exceeded $30 million.

"The Hangover" costs $13 million, $48 million in North America and $65 million in overseas box office. Columbia Pictures' net profit exceeds $40 million.

"The God of Death is Coming" costs $10 million, the box office in North America is $78.65 million, and the box office overseas is $32.4 million (in its release). Columbia Pictures' net profit is more than $45 million.

"Fate Express" costs $20 million, $82 million in North America, $25.6 million in overseas box office (in its release). Columbia Pictures' net profit exceeds $40 million.

In addition, the production cost of "Die Hard" is 25 million US dollars, and the box office in North America has reached 75 million US dollars as of yesterday. Not only did it recover the cost smoothly, it also made Columbia Pictures a big profit.

"Home Imperial" cost 15 million US dollars, and the box office in the first week has reached 80 million US dollars. It also successfully recovered the cost and made Columbia Pictures a big profit.

And this is just the revenue from film screenings, not counting the revenue from distribution of videos, the revenue from television and broadcast authorization, etc. Based on the proportion of Hollywood film revenue today, these six movies can probably generate about $500 million in profits for Columbia Pictures.

In addition, Columbia Pictures launched this year's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Beach Ranger" and "Millionaire" are also very popular. Not only have they achieved high ratings, but the audience also have a very good reputation. They have received a renewal from the TV station and have also created at least $50 million in profits for the company.

In this year alone, Columbia Pictures made a profit of 550 million US dollars, and its revenue was really amazing. You should know that the six Hollywood giants, except for Disney's diversified operations, are all in a loss situation. Universal Pictures, the most serious, has lost more than 70 million US dollars this year, and has been forced to sell its kidneys.

Other companies are so sad that they can’t even drink porridge. However, Columbia Pictures makes a lot of money, which is really envious and jealous.

People finally looked at the root cause and found that all this changed because of summer. These six movies, two American dramas, and one variety show were all created by summer.

"Oh my god, he is really a creative genius!"

"How could there be such a powerful person? Is there no time for his creative source to dry up?"

"He is only twenty-three years old this year. How can he have so much experience, write so many, and such good stories?"

People exclaimed.

Many professional screenwriters even shouted that it was impossible. Because they all need inspiration to write scripts. Not to mention writing six scripts that can be sold for a year, even if they write one script a year, they have to recite Amitabha.

Xia Tian not only wrote six scripts, but also wrote two American dramas and a variety show. This creative talent really shocked them. If they were familiar with Chinese culture, they would probably exclaim that "there is a stone of talent in the world, and Xia Tian is the only one who can do it."

When both movies of "Die Hard" and "Home Imperial" were so popular, and Columbia Pictures made such a huge profit in the past year, investors were also confident in the company's stock and bought it one after another, which also caused Columbia Pictures' stock price to rise slightly by 7%. This is also the seventh time this year that its stock price has increased by more than one percent.

The American media, who are changing their minds, saw the recent popular "summer hotness", quickly followed the trend and reported, breaking out the achievements made in Hong Kong in summer.

In just four years after seeing him, the American people were once again shocked when they built their own business empire from scratch in Hong Kong. They not only entered the entertainment industry, real estate industry, hotel industry, clothing industry, catering industry, and even high-tech industry, and their net worth exceeds 20 billion US dollars.

Because they still remember that when they were on the show "Larry King Live Show" last summer, his net worth was only 10 billion US dollars. A year later, his net worth doubled, which was really amazing.

"He is even more talented than the steel king Carnegie and the oil king Rockefeller!"

"Two billion US dollars can be called the richest man in the world!"

"It's impossible for such a powerful person to be a man who is not an American but a Hong Konger!"

After seeing the report, Americans sighed.

They always thought that Americans were the most powerful in the world, but they never expected that they would be refreshed by Xia Tian, ​​which made them scream that it was impossible.

If they knew that summer's net worth was not only 20 billion US dollars, but 35 billion US dollars, they would not know if they would be scared to dislocate their chin.

However, the smart American realized Xia Tian’s talent, so he immediately bought stocks of his Rainbow Media Holdings, Columbia Pictures and other companies, which greatly increased the stock prices of these companies.

Columbia Pictures alone rose by nearly 20%, which not only made the investors who bought it before make a small profit, but also made Xia Tian’s net worth nearly $500 million.

The shareholders of these companies were originally a little dissatisfied with Xia Tian’s acquisition, thinking that a young man might not know how to run a company and would probably lead the company into the abyss. But now seeing the stock price rise and the company’s performance has improved greatly, they can’t help but change their previous ideas, from opposing Xia Tian to supporting.

After seeing the changes brought about by Xia Tian’s acquisition of the company, other American business companies couldn’t help but admire his business talents. In the future, when Xia Tian acquired other companies, many shareholders supported his acquisition, which made him encounter much less resistance.

But these are all later stories.
