Heads Up Hollywood

Tang En delivered an important speech: "The grading of "Break Up Men and Women" seems small, but it has a lot to do with it. This means that the other five major film companies have formed a unity and work together to control New Universal."

At this time, it is often the men who are cautious and cautious, but the female executives who are bold and aggressive. Donna Langley said coldly: "This kind of behavior is very shameless. I felt it in the first two months. We are in family entertainment. The operation of the company has encountered difficulties, and the scheduling of the schedule has been restricted. Now it is good, this is the end of the picture."

"This is not a market economy." Amy Pascal frowned and shook her head.

Tang En said: "If it is a fair market economy, do we still need to be so nervous? To put it bluntly, if there is a fair competition, they are all tied together, and they will not be New Universal's opponents!"

This is true.

In the past 12 months, the total box office in North America was 9.28 billion US dollars.

Among them, the films under New Universal accounted for 5.35 billion US dollars, accounting for 57.8% of the entire market!

In the past 12 months, the total global box office was 25.3 billion US dollars, of which the global box office of New Universal Group was 9.5 billion US dollars, accounting for 37.5% of the global total box office!

Clear data is the most convincing.

New Universal is famous for its food and drink, and earns a lot of money. It is also a Hollywood tycoon, but the other five major film companies can only follow behind and drink soup. It is strange if they do not resist.

Barry Diller said: "This matter, what they did was indeed wrong. Hollywood can have a good situation today because the six major Hollywood groups have formed a community of interests, using the MPAA as a platform to unanimously externalize, rather than engage in internal strife. Destruction Breaking the existing market mechanism and breaking the rules will not benefit anyone.”

Bill McNick also said in a mature and prudent way: "It is true. This matter... is not small or big. It may not have a solution. It can be discussed with each family. I believe that friendly negotiation is the best choice for everyone. Expected result."

"hehe!"

The smile on Tang En's mouth was quite contemptuous.

Nina Jacobsen is about to go into labor, and with a big belly, she specially came to attend today's important meeting. Tang En had promised her a long time ago that she would succeed Bill McNick in the future and become the chairman and CEO of Tang En Pictures.

She is very young, daring to fight hard, and has a tough approach. She has long been disgusted with the good old Bill McNick, and immediately snorted: "Everyone expects friendly negotiations? I don't think so! The five of them made it What's the purpose of today's scene? I'm afraid the purpose is to get a result of 'friendly negotiation'? Now that the pocket formation has been deployed, let's just jump in?"

Bill McNick's face was sinking, and he was very displeased. He immediately took out a cigarette and wanted to smoke.

A place like Hollywood is similar to Wall Street, advocating power, not like Silicon Valley's idea of ​​equality, where small employees can quarrel with the CEO. Leaders often hold meetings while smoking cigarettes, with no regard for the presence of women.

This is a long-established habit.

As for movies, in the process of creative conception, the creators will definitely smoke cigarettes and think hard one by one. So among Hollywood creators, regardless of gender, almost everyone smokes.

Nina Jacobsen also occasionally smokes, but it is different now, and immediately said very bluntly: "Mr. McNick, please don't smoke, there are babies here!"

Bill McNick threw the cigarette on the conference table angrily, and made a "bang".

In the meeting room, it was very quiet.

Everyone felt it, because the "Break Up Men and Women", regardless of the external environment, had caused huge conflicts within New Universal.

The relationship between conservatives and hardliners has ossified.

This is probably one of their goals, right?

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little frozen and stiff.

Although everyone here is the core management personnel of the film business, the current situation seems to be developing in a bad direction.

Once it is not handled well and the interior splits first, it will be ridiculous.

Tang En tapped the table with his fingers, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said unhurriedly: "A few years ago, British Prime Minister Blair introduced a policy. He received many complaints, saying that many patients were in the hospital. When making an appointment with a doctor, it often takes two or three days to wait. Blair made a decision that he required all doctor’s appointments to be completed within 48 hours.”

"Obviously, Prime Minister Blair has good intentions. He wants to solve the problem of patient appointments. However, he ignores that when policies are introduced to solve a single goal, they often cause great disruption to the market. After the policy is issued, the patients Has the problem of waiting too long for appointments been solved? No!"

"The direct result of the policy is that doctors don't answer the phone, because they simply can't complete the appointment within 48 hours. Doctors need to spend a lot of time to deal with sudden diseases and events, such as car accidents, heart attacks, etc. The so-called two-to-three-day appointment period is more of a spare time set aside by doctors to deal with such temporary emergencies."

"If you run out of this spare time with policy, you can only stop the appointment mechanism. Prime Minister Blair originally wanted to protect the rights of patients, but it backfired. He just caused the biggest trouble for patients. Fortunately, the current decree already solved."

There is no deep truth in this story, it just illustrates the meaning of the market.

Robert Iger nodded and said: "Yes, the market is the market, and any behavior that intervenes in the market through administrative orders will damage the market. The direction of the market can only be determined by the mechanism of the market. The matter of "Break Up Men and Women" On the surface, it seems that the five giants of Hollywood work together to restrict New Universal, but in fact... it is also their own restriction! Their loss of interests may not be less than ours. I don't think their alliance can last for a long time. Earning less is better than earning no money."

"Well said!" Tang En couldn't help applauding him, "No matter how little you earn, it's better than no money at all. This is their fatal point!"

"Fatal?"

Everyone was suspicious and surprised.

I can't understand the inner meaning of Tang En's use of this word.

Barry Diller secretly heaved a sigh of relief, because he felt a calm attitude from Tang En's words.

That's good.

Don't make a fuss!

It's not good for anyone to make a big fuss.

Peace makes money.

Unexpectedly, Tang En would not play cards according to common sense at all.

"They don't hesitate to destroy the market and use this kind of conspiracy to check and balance. What are we afraid of? Don't they want to destroy the market? Well, what's the point of making small troubles? If you want to destroy it, just destroy it cleanly, everyone One shoot and two break up! At worst, break the existing Hollywood order and rebuild a Hollywood! With the strength of New Universal, it will definitely be the pioneer of the new order of New Hollywood!"

Tang En's words were like diamonds, powerful and vibrating.

Scared all the conservatives.

What is this for?

Turn the table over?

Are you really going to take on Hollywood with one against five?

Oh, God!

crazy!
