MTL - Heads Up Hollywood-Chapter 1201 The new Big 5 alliance
Barry Mayer is critical because this is Time Warner's group policy, making strategic adjustments to absorb the huge losses brought about by the merger with AOL. In other words, any business can no longer burn money to engage in the Internet.
This is a taboo at Time Warner!
But the Internet is a big trend, and it is unclear whether the future of streaming media is a blessing or a curse, but this is a possible outlet.
Other Hollywood giants are all participating, but Warner isn't participating, isn't that bad?
Now there is no problem, Dunn has solved the biggest dilemma facing Hollywood - the funding problem.
He will use his personal connections to go to Wall Street to raise money. Hollywood only needs to take out the film and television content of the film library, and then it can cooperate to build a Hollywood video website.
This is a great thing!
There is neither cost nor opportunity to participate.
Barry Mayer's problems are all solved, and he is of course willing to take Warner to participate in this cooperation.
Unexpectedly, Tang En's proposal for cooperation actually excluded Warner!
Obviously, this is revenge!
Why was the Big Five formed? It was because of Warner's provocation that they secretly contacted the secret meeting.
Warner is the initiator!
Dunn took out a pie and distributed it to everyone, but not to Warner, isolating Warner!
This is the most severe counterattack!
Barry Mayer took a deep breath, his heart was cold, and his face was ashen, "Since it's a collective Hollywood collaboration, how can we be without Warner? That's not good!"
Michael Eisner looked at him playfully, "So, you want to reject Dunn's proposal?"
Barry Mayer said: "No veto! His first two proposals are very good, and this third proposal is still up for debate. Since it is the full cooperation of Hollywood, of course everyone is involved."
Everyone is wise, and the central reason is like a mirror in their hearts.
Moreover, if there is one more partner, it will dilute a large number of shares, and everyone does not want Warner to participate.
Steve Burke said strangely: "Barry, didn't you just say that you are not interested in this matter? That's just right. Don't weigh your difficulties and exclude Warner. Isn't it good?"
Michael Eisner also said firmly: "That person Dunn... we all know it. For his proposal, we either accept it completely or deny it completely. If we only want to take the part that is beneficial to us and reject other conditions, Cooperation is simply not possible.”
Tom Rothman also said solemnly: "Well, this is also my idea. Dunn's proposals are still very sincere, especially he is willing to use his personal connections to raise money on Wall Street. What kind of sentiment is this? It would be inhumane if we veto his motion at this time."
Barry Mayer really wanted to stop being mad.
These bastards, if you have milk, you are a mother, turning your face is faster than turning a book!
A second ago, everyone was allies in the Big Five Alliance. The next second, after Tang En's motion was put forward, he immediately turned his face and didn't recognize the person, and got together with Tang En.
Qian Bo is so heartwarming, the change in your attitude is too obvious, right?
"Without Warner, what kind of Hollywood collective is this?" Barry Mayer almost roared out.
Michael Eisner said: "The collective does not represent everything. It is enough to represent Hollywood if it is represented by Disney, New Universal, NBC Columbia and 20th Century Fox."
Tom Rothman echoed: "That's the truth. If the collective is really involved, it is suspected of market monopoly, which is not good."
Steve Burke also said earnestly: "Barry, didn't you say that the future of the streaming media business is unpredictable? This is not right. Let the four of us go to test the water first. What are the risks, we will take care of it first. If it fails, Warner can be protected from losses. If it succeeds... it also proves that the streaming media business is an outlet, and it is not impossible for Warner to create a streaming media website by itself.”
Tom Rothman said with deep conviction: "Well, I see it. With Warner's strength, it can definitely be done!"
Michael Eisner said: "Indeed, the streaming media site in the future will definitely be more than just Hulu. Netflix will definitely launch a streaming media business in the future. What New Universal can do, Time Warner can naturally do it. You are not Do you always say that Time Warner is not inferior to New Universal?"
Steve Burke nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, then it's settled!"
Barry Mayer almost vomited blood!
You said something to these people, and you didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and then you settled on this matter.
Isn't this a show of bullying!
Well, it was the Big Five just now.
Now, it's become the Big Four!
A new alliance between New Universal, Disney, NBC Columbia and Twentieth Century Fox!
Plus Legendary Pictures, which is about to enter the MPAA... Well, a new Big Five alliance is formed!
Headed by New Universal, followed by Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, NBC Columbia and Legendary!
Leave Warner out!
Forefoot, New Universal is the target of public criticism.
On the back foot, Warner became an isolationist.
Is the contrast too great?
The Great King's Flag is changing at the top of the city, isn't the situation changing too fast?
Tang En's "Renance" was too clever to play, right?
The most important thing is, is Dunn really a benefit?
Maybe Dunn has other backers!
Barry Mayer's hair tightened and he felt a deep sense of fear.
In the era of streaming media, New Universal is about to secure the position of Hollywood's boss. Warners will face the end of being out if they don't obey...
Everyone is smart.
What Barry Mayer can think of, Brad Gray naturally thinks of it too.
The current Paramount is not qualified to participate in the new business of the Internet, but he will not miss the opportunity to make money.
Shareholder companies such as Disney and 20th Century Fox will invest in the company's film and television content copyrights and will not charge Hulu royalties.
Paramount is not a shareholder.
If you want Paramount's film and television content to appear in Hulu, you have to pay a certain copyright fee.
This is an extra income for Paramount.
"Well, such a statement makes sense." Brad Gray looked serious, as if he had made a decision after careful consideration, "Streaming media is a new industry, and there are too many partners...it will affect efficiency. Universal, Fox , Disney and Columbia are enough to cooperate. However, as a video site, Hulu must have more content, the better. Paramount and Warner are not involved, but they can provide some film and television content and help.”
Steve Burke laughed: "If that's the case, that would be great. With Paramount taking the lead, I believe other content providers will also become Hulu's suppliers."
"Is Warner all right?"
Michael Eisner looked at Barry Mayer with a half-smile.
Even Paramount has made a statement!
At this time, it is already human beings for knives, and I for fish.
Hulu does not have Warner's film and television rights and has little influence on Hulu. Hollywood has more than 500 content providers, large and small. With the industry strength of these giants, it is not a problem to win over 300 of them.
Just give a reasonable streaming media copyright fee.
Hulu's resource library will be very full.
If Warner doesn't participate, it can only sit and watch the disappearance of a streaming media copyright fee...
The opportunity to become a Hulu shareholder has been lost, and Barry Mayer can't afford to let an additional royalty fee go.
"Of course, this is the first time Hollywood has joined forces to start a business in the emerging Internet industry, and Warner always has to show its support, hehe." A smile appeared on Barry Mayer's face, which was uglier than crying.
Then, everyone looked at each other, smiled, and started talking.
The atmosphere is very friendly and harmonious.
……
"Boss, I don't understand your decision!"
Reed Hastings, the founder, chairman and CEO of Netflix, came to Dunn's office with a heavy tone.
Delaying the launch of Netflix's streaming media business is not one to eat crabs. He can understand and deeply agree with this principle.
But Dunn's next behavior was excessive, right?
Cooperate with other Hollywood giants and plan to set up a streaming media site Hulu?
Isn't this stealing Netflix's job!
Hulu is formed by the collective cooperation of Hollywood giants, backed by the entire Hollywood film and television resource library.
Don't look at Netflix in the past few years, it has collected a lot of streaming media content copyrights around the world, and there are also a lot of Curry content. However, more than 95% of them are foreign film and television works, all in foreign languages.
This is certainly not as attractive to American users as it is to native Hollywood content.
What does Netflix use to compete with Hulu?
Tang En smiled, "Sit down and talk, why do you have a temper? Or is it that you don't have enough confidence in Netflix?"
Reed Hastings said with a bad face: "It's not that you lack confidence~www.novelbuddy.com~ It's that you can't understand your decision. The appearance of Hulu will be Netflix's biggest competitor!"
"Competitors?" Dunn sneered and shook his head disapprovingly, "Don't forget, the streaming media business is ultimately the Internet business. Do you think the old Hollywood guys can play with streaming media?"
"what?"
Reed Hastings was slightly startled.
Tang Endao: "The trend has not yet arrived, and the Internet companies in Silicon Valley have not yet noticed this business. Hulu is just taking the lead. When Silicon Valley sees the potential of the streaming media business, then..."
As he spoke, he shook his head, "Don't look at Hulu's hustle and bustle right now, when high-tech companies like Amazon, Google, Apple, and Microsoft get involved, you'll find that Hulu is not worth mentioning at all!"
Reed Hastings said with understanding: "So... Netflix still has to stick to Silicon Valley and is a high-tech company that uses film and television content as its products?"
"Of course!" Tang En said earnestly, "Netflix's opponent has never been Hulu! Look at what companies like Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft are doing? They are working hard to build their own ecological chain. When you use a Microsoft After the product, you can't wait to use the next Microsoft product. When Apple and Amazon grow up, their influence will spread to every industry, including film and television entertainment."
