Chapter 1174: Hollywood can't limit New Universal

Barry Diller also has deep roots in Hollywood. In the 1980s, he created the Paramount myth.

But later the business became bigger and bigger.

Especially in recent years, after becoming the CEO of New Universal Group, the vision is even bigger, and the importance of Hollywood has become lower and lower.

As far as New Universal is concerned, the profit of the TV media department is higher than that of the film and television entertainment department, and the interactive entertainment department is also full of potential. Not to mention the booming tourism and vacation sector and consumer goods sector.

The output value of the film industry has grown very slowly, but several other sectors are not the same.

In a few years, the film and television entertainment department will become the one with the lowest income among the five departments of New Universal.

Barry Diller has seen it through.

Hollywood's role in New Universal is more of an "advertising" role.

Film and television works are advertisements.

It is used to enhance the brand value and international influence of New Global.

The effect will only get lower and lower.

So Barry Diller was able to keep his cool while many older, established filmmakers were discouraging them from taking a stab at Hollywood.

He knows where the future of New Universal is.

Hollywood can't limit New Universal!

Hearing that Bill McNick came to the door to have a big quarrel with Tosca Musk, Barry Diller had a headache and had no choice but to come forward in person to resolve the turmoil.

"You don't know that Tosca is just conveying Dunn's order, you shouldn't argue with her!" Barry Diller called Bill McNick to his office, complaining a little.

Bill McNick was still angry, and said angrily: "Do you know what that girl said about me? She said I was a traitor!"

Barry Diller twitched the corners of his mouth, "Then have you ever done anything to betray the company?"

"Me!" Bill McNick said in a breathless tone, "What do I mean, don't you understand? This time we are facing the Big Five and the MPAA! This will involve almost all organizations in Hollywood. Organizations and major guilds, does Dunn want to single out Hollywood? He's too impulsive!"

Barry Diller frowned. "I remember you said that they just wanted to get some good and didn't want to make a big deal."

"Of course, no one wants to make a fuss! It's going to ruin Hollywood!"

"Then what are you afraid of?"

Barry Diller's tone became severe, and his critical attitude was very obvious.

Bill McNick said: "But do you know Dunn? When have you ever seen someone take advantage of him? The Big Five Alliance is determined to make Dunn give in. If the two sides disagree, this situation will definitely change. getting more serious."

Barry Diller said, "Didn't you just say that they don't want to make a big fuss?"

"Yes."

"They don't want to make a big deal. We are not afraid of making a big deal. In the end, there will definitely be a side that gives in. What are you afraid of?" Barry Diller said seriously.

"Um?"

Bill McNick froze for a moment, a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

This attitude is already very obvious.

Barry Diller in clear-cut support for Dunn!

Support Dunn to lead New Universal to fight against Hollywood!

"What if... what if they don't back down? This will ruin Hollywood!" Bill McNick almost roared out.

Barry Diller said indifferently: "What if it's ruined?"

"Ah?" Bill McNick didn't react for a while, he felt that this mature and prudent guy in front of him suddenly became incomparably strong?

Barry Diller said: "Destroyed Hollywood, New Universal is still New Universal! Bill, you have been in charge of the film and television entertainment department for many years, working in Hollywood, I am afraid you don't know what kind of company we are. Tell you so Well, even if the headquarters of New Universal moved to Silicon Valley, we still have the qualification to become the boss of Silicon Valley! Even if we moved to New York, we still have the ability to dominate the fashion circle and the New York media circle! Do you understand? We are not afraid of anyone!"

"What about Hollywood? What about Hollywood?"

"Then it depends on their attitude."

Barry Diller waved his hand lightly.

Some words, he did not say too clearly.

Next year, New Universal will go public.

Once listed, it must follow the market rules and be responsible for the shareholders. It is too irresponsible to avoid the situation of the stock price plummeting.

In other words, after the new global listing, there will be more constraints. At that time, if New Universal wants to single out Hollywood again, it will be impossible to sort out the pattern of Hollywood.

Take advantage of the current stage to resolve this matter once and for all.

Avoid trouble after listing.

Bill McNick is good at everything, but he values ​​the interests of the Hollywood group.

Barry Diller said again: "By the way, Dunn asked me to tell you something."

Bill McNick couldn't help but let out a wry smile. Tang En talked to himself and asked others to tell it. It seems that the conflict this time is really irreconcilable.

Barry Diller said: "Oscar's presidential deadline is coming, and it's time to run for a new chairman. If you still want to contribute a little to the film, you can run for this position."

"Oscar?"

Bill McNick's eyes lit up.

Not because he values ​​that position and that power~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but this sentence shows Dunn's attitude.

The rotation of the Oscars can continue, at least it shows... Hollywood will not change much!

There will be no devastating blow.

That's fine!

...

Tosca Musk doesn't care about those, she only executes Dunn's orders.

Soon, the "New York Times" fired the first shot, uncovering the current Hollywood suspicion.

"In recent years, film companies such as Dunn Pictures, Marvel Pictures, Rose Pictures, Universal Pictures, Pixar, Focus Pictures, and Furious Pictures under the New Universal Group have produced one after another wonderful film. Hit movies, including franchises like "Spider-Man," "Pirates," "The Bourne," "The Fast and the Furious," have been hugely successful, taking more than half of the movie market's profits."

"Disney, Warner, Paramount, Columbia, and 20th Century Fox, the five traditional Hollywood giants, are unwilling to take profits and cannot make films that can compete with New Universal, so they can only resort to some unconventional means. They used the power of the MPAA's rating board to impose restrictions on the ratings of New Universal's films to force submission."

"This is a very despicable and immoral way of competition, which is using the monopoly power of industry rules to interfere with the normal film market environment. If the Big Five can't recognize its mistakes as soon as possible, it will inevitably hurt others and even harm itself. Hollywood has a very bad influence."

Subsequently, the "Hollywood Reporter", MSN, Yahoo Entertainment, "Wall Street Journal" and other media have reported the matter one after another.

This is also the first time in history that the media has such a comprehensive and unlimited coverage of Hollywood's power insider.

For a time, the public opinion was in a frenzy!
