The U.S. National Security Strategy Report, usually released at the end of May, is a report that affects the international order.

In the past year, with the "911 incident" and the war on terror, the foreign policy of the George W. Bush administration has attracted more global attention.

After the end of the Cold War, the Clinton administration abandoned a series of radical policies in the past, adopted a passive "reaction" foreign strategy, contracted finances, and quickly led the United States out of its economic predicament.

Ten years later, however, the international situation has changed significantly.

In particular, the newly inaugurated Bush administration is from the Republican Party!

More radical!

Through prior media forecasts and internal information, it can also be seen that the Bush administration will abandon the past policy of "passive reaction" and change to a "preemptive" external posture.

For example, Secretary of State Colin Powell's remarks: "The serious threat we face is a combination of radicalism and technology," "The 911 incident shows that even if terrorists do not have weapons of mass destruction, they can still pose a threat to the United States through other means," and "The U.S. government must make greater progress in military strength, homeland defense capabilities, judicial system, intelligence information, and so on......

Donn was not qualified to participate in international politics and military warfare, but he was still warmly received by the White House.

Not only him, but also Hollywood giants such as Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Disney, Warner Bros., and MGM were also invited.

Because, in addition to touching on traditional aspects such as military and international politics, this "National Security Strategy Report" also mentions a common word used during the Cold War - color revolution!

In the view of the Bush administration, military exports alone are far from sufficient, and while taking a preemptive strike against terrorists who may endanger the United States and its people, the United States will also wage an ideological war against international terrorism in order to win this war.

To put it bluntly, it is cultural export!

Let the world's ideology follow American-style justice, instead of inciting public opinion to support terrorism at the outbreak of war.

During the Cold War, Congress would approve a large amount of "democracy money," but now it is much more convenient, and with the advent of economic globalization, the trend of the United States is influencing the world.

Hollywood movies, in particular, have taken the world by storm!

Film is the most direct and effective cultural output.

During the meeting, a number of high-ranking officials of the federal government expressed their opinions, persuading these Hollywood films to make more films that support the ideas of "democracy" and "freedom" and less negative news about the United States.

The Ministry of National Defense has also stated that if a military-themed film is filmed, as long as it conforms to the spirit of the United States, it can apply to the Ministry of National Defense. If you apply for customs clearance, then all military equipment expenditures can be included in the budget of the Ministry of Defense and reimbursed by the Ministry of Defense.

Donn and others, who are not interested in the White House's claims, are businessmen, and they are trying to get the policy to work with them, not for them to cooperate with the policy.

However, the plan of the Ministry of Defense made the bigwigs from Hollywood quite excited.

That's good news.

For war films, the expenditure on tanks, planes, aircraft carriers, and warships is too high, even for a few minutes of footage, it costs millions of dollars.

So much so that for a period of time in the past, the military scenes in Hollywood movies were edited from the internal training videos of the Ministry of Defense.

Subsequently, civil affairs and other relevant departments have also come up with a lot of policies to show their support for relevant color films, which can be used from various perspectives such as tax rates, policies, and local government support to bring out benefits and let Hollywood actively cooperate.

Tang En laughed in his heart, "This is a benefit from the state to Hollywood." ”

With the benefits, of course, everyone gladly accepted it, and said that they would increase the shooting of this type of film.

However, now that the Federation has a request for Hollywood, it is not enough to give the state benefits, and the bigwigs must make more demands and ask for more benefits.

When it came to Hollywood's side to speak, Disney's Michael Eisner brought up the issue of piracy again, he believed that piracy in the United States is becoming more and more rampant, but overseas piracy is even more serious, and Disney has embezzled no less than 20 billion US dollars in intellectual property assets!

Many countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and other countries are openly using trademarks such as "Mickey Mouse" and "Winnie the Pooh", and pirated DVDs are also widely sold, hoping that the federal government will control them.

Warner Bros.'s Barry Meyer said he fully supports the federal policy of "Democracy Spring" and is willing to let Warner's films work with it. However, the current global film market is not sound enough, and many countries are boycotting Hollywood films for the sake of domestic protection, which is a blatant breach of contract and a violation of the TO agreement, hoping that the federal government can file a diplomatic protest or economic sanctions.

According to TO's requirements for film accounting, the proportion of imported films is 35% for producers, 17% for distributors, and 48% for cinemas.

This is the minimum requirement.

In other words, according to the agreement, when Hollywood movies are screened in countries that have joined the TO agreement, film companies such as Universal, Disney, and Paramount with distribution channels can get a minimum of 52% of the box office share in overseas markets!

That's on par with the average 53% share in the U.S.!

Even South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Hong Kong and other countries that attach great importance to intellectual property rights will share as much as 55% of the account, which is more than that of the United States!

Of course, the United States implements a "double taxation" system, and if overseas funds return to the country, they will be subject to a wave of tax looting, even if the film has preferential tax rates, Hollywood film companies can really get about 35% of the overseas accounts.

However, China strictly controls the film market, importing only 20 foreign films a year, and sharing only a measly 15% of the bill......

After the "double deduction", American film companies can only get about 9% of the box office share, which is pitiful.

Tang En understands this situation too well, TO is a game between developed countries, and if China wants to play here, there must be some special circumstances, which the United States is not capable of changing at all.

Rather than focusing on this immutable market, it is better to ...... Lock down countries that the United States has the ability to influence.

Of all of you, Don was the youngest, even younger than the secretary of the minutes.

At this time, he couldn't help but speak, "That's it, I'll say a few words." ”

Don has the smallest company and the least production, but he's the richest man in the room, and he's super influential.

"What Mr. Meyer just said, I agree with the previous part, if we want to promote American ideology through movies, the first thing is to make Hollywood movies smoothly enter various countries. With the advent of the globalized economy, the coverage of Hollywood movies has become wider and wider, and the resistance has become stronger and stronger. ”

"Germany, Britain, Japan, and Australia, which are film powers, can be completely open to Hollywood, but some countries that want to make films weaker must adopt some domestic protection policies. French films require that each film be shown in theaters for at least two weeks, and the official statement is to give the artwork a living environment, but in fact, it is to give the French film a living space. ”

"Of course, I'm not talking about France, I'm talking about South Korea, the big box office for Asian films! Many media say that Japan is the second largest box office, but in fact, for Hollywood, Britain is the second largest box office, and Japan is even inferior to South Korea. Japan/Ben has its own cultural atmosphere, and its resistance to foreign culture is strong, and local films are very strong. On the contrary, Koreans have no resistance to Hollywood films. ”

Donn's words immediately aroused the approval of many Hollywood bigwigs.

The top 10 in the current Korean film market are all Hollywood blockbusters.

This is still the case that the Korean film market has not been opened.

As early as many years ago, in order to join the TO, South Korea signed a free trade agreement with the United States, and the original 147 days for movie theaters to show Korean movies was directly changed to 73 days.

This caused a strong opposition from South Korean filmmakers, who kept marching, demonstrating, and even going to the Blue House to protest in a sit-in.

The South Korean government had no choice but to cancel the agreement and continue to maintain the requirement that Korean cinemas must show local films 147 days a year.

This is certainly not in Hollywood's interest!

There is a trade agreement with TO, so why can South Korea be an exception?

Don's intention is clear: to join forces with Hollywood, like the White House and the federal government, to pressure the South Korean government to reintroduce the 147-day to 73-day agreement.

In this way, Hollywood can make more money!

……

Don became interested in the content of this meeting.

He didn't think that the federal government would have the energy to put pressure on the South Korean government in the current predicament of the war for the sake of Hollywood's small money.

The takeaways from this meeting, mainly some "special" Hollywood films, with the benefit of federal budget endorsement.

To put it bluntly, it is the state that sends welfare.

Other recommendations are unlikely to be realized in the next few years.

However, it can be reminded in advance, and when the war situation becomes clear and the international situation is stable, it can be operated.

Hollywood has enormous influence over parliament.

On the way back to Los Angeles, Donn invited Ron Meyer to his plane.

"Vivendi is going to be finished, you can see it, right?"

Don was in high spirits.

Ron Meyer boarded the luxurious Boeing 747 and was speechless in shock, treating this kind of plane as a private jet, except for the presidents of various countries, there are no more than 5 people in the world!

"I've heard some news that the Brown family is unhappy with CEO Messier and has asked for a replacement, but ......" Ron Meyer shrugged his shoulders contemptuously.

It's true that Messier ran Vivendi and went bankrupt, but he is a national hero of France!

With this converging national sentiment, it was difficult for the French shareholders to move him.

It's too much of an impact.

Tang En lightly hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's fast, if you don't explode in the collapse, you will perish in the collapse." When Vivendi can't hold on, even if it's a trick, Messier will have to get out of class!"

"Tricks?"

Ron Meyer looked at Don in dismay.

Don said angrily: "Where do you want to go? Can I still reach to France? Even if I can reach to France, do you think I can reach into Vivendi?"

"You mean...... Inside?" Ron Meyer's eyes narrowed.

Tang En said calmly: "Someone will make a move." ”

The trick of the mall, like politics, is never clean!()
