Chapter 1188: Threatening Arguments

Because it was a public speech, many of the trade secrets related to New Globe were not revealed.

Like what...... Netflix!

According to the plan of the Interactive Entertainment Department, Netflix will be able to launch a trial operation of the streaming media business next year.

At that time, the New Globe Group has spent more than 780 million US dollars to buy all kinds of film and television network copyrights around the world in recent years, which will play a huge role.

There are more than 30,000 movies and more than 3,500 TV series, variety shows and sports shows.

It can be said that it has been buying the bottom for 3 consecutive years, and the purchase price is very low.

Most of them are buyouts, and a few are also 20-30 year long contracts.

You must know that the total number of Hollywood movies on the register is only more than 19,700.

Netflix will not launch its own original film and television works for the first time, which is tantamount to publicly calling out Hollywood.

Without full preparation, Netflix has not been able to launch original works.

In Hollywood's inherent thinking, videotapes, DVDs, TV stations, subscription channels, etc. are all peripheral channels, and the real content provider is still Hollywood.

If Netflix, a company based in Silicon Valley, starts making its own movies and TV series, it will be tantamount to a slap in the face of Hollywood.

In the previous life, Netflix was not the first to launch original works, but Hollywood is becoming more and more disagreeable, and the streaming media rights of film and television works are priced too high.

Netflix couldn't afford it, and it couldn't play anymore, so it was forced to start working on original works, and then it was another village to shoot the phenomenal "House of Cards".

This is Hollywood's greed first, Netflix's survival last.

However, even if Netflix will not engage in original works in the short term, Netflix's copyright library is sufficient and abundant.

Moreover, Netflix will also have exclusive rights to all the movies of Marvel Studios and Down Pictures!

This will be a trump card!

Donn's speech was over, and many of the filmmakers present and not present were a little confused. Because this lecture by Don was large and comprehensive, he did not mention too many details.

Except for a few people who saw Donn's ambitions and threats from this lecture, few people found business opportunities in it.

This naturally disappointed some.

Even a large number of filmmakers simply do not agree with Donn's point of view.

In their opinion, after the advent of online video, it will only be a good thing for Hollywood!

In the beginning, movies could only be distributed in movie theaters, and the film company had a very single source of income.

Later, movies were able to be distributed on television networks, and film companies had an additional source of income.

Later, videotapes and DVDs appeared, movies had another distribution channel, and the income of film companies increased.

Now, internet video has appeared.

Isn't this the same as the appearance of TV stations, videotapes, and DVDs?

Movies have another distribution platform, and for film companies, there is another industry that can increase revenue.

Isn't that a good thing?

They simply don't realize the powerful nature of the internet.

Streaming video is powerful and crazy, and it will seriously squeeze the living space of DVDs until it completely eats up the sales market of DVDs. Finished eating the DVD market...... The growth of streaming is not over yet, it will erode traditional TV networks!

Even under the encroachment of online streaming media, TV stations have to go out of business one after another.

At the end of the day, there are only two major places left for movies, cinema and streaming.

Even many of Netflix's movies are not released in theaters at all, and are launched directly in the situation of streaming, including many action blockbusters that cost more than $100 million.

This is Donn's last confidence to take on Hollywood!

It's just that there are probably few people in Hollywood who can understand this.

It doesn't matter, just put the threat out there.

Look at the reaction of the Big Five!

……

"Donne, there's one thing I want to tell you. ”

When Donn returned to the company, Tosca Musk found him.

"What's the matter?"

"The office received a threatening letter. ”

"Huh?"

Don stopped, his eyes wide open, a little incredulous.

Threat?

He just made a fierce threat to the Big Five Alliance through a speech, and someone here wrote a threatening letter in response?

Seeing Donn's stunned expression, Tosca Musk shook his head and hurriedly said: "It's not like that, you think too much, a small thing." ”

"What's going on?" Donn frowned.

Tosca Musk said: "Roy Price, the chief content officer of the STA television network, said some inappropriate things to a young female producer in the process of producing a TV series, which was quite explicit, and after being rejected, he made many non-centrific requests and stalked. ”

Don understood as soon as he heard it, "Sexual harassment in the workplace?"

Tosca Musk nodded, "Almost." The female producer was furious and didn't want to lose her job, so she explained the matter to Chris, the head of the STA television network. As a result, Chris said that it was not a big deal, stay if you want, leave if you want, leave if you want, don't chirp. ”

Tang En frowned: "Nonsense! The current environment is not more than ten years ago!"

Tosca Musk shrugged helplessly, "I communicated with Chris, and he said that Price has a great job and is a very good producer, and he can't lose his job because of this little thing, it's a big loss." ”

"And then?"

Then the female producer wrote a letter to our office, asking for strict handling to see if the feminist banner of New Universal was true or false. If we don't do anything, she will contact the media directly. ”

Don was a little angry.

This is really a threat!

This is a sensitive period for New Global, and it is not good to renew the incident.

Don groaned for a moment and waved his hand, "Then let that Roy Price leave! The company's rules and regulations are clearly written, and sexual harassment in the workplace is strictly prohibited! He is committing a crime against the wind!"

Tosca Musk was surprised: "But Chris said that he is a talent, and it would be a pity to give up like this." In the past few years, he has made a lot of contributions to Starz. ”

Don said, "I know. Let's let him leave first. The female producer...... To be appeased, don't spread the word about this matter. After a month or two, let him go to work on Netflix. ”

"Netflix?"

Tosca Musk was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing, and he seemed to understand Donn's thoughts.

Don said helplessly: "No way, those old guys are too stupid, if you don't give them some motivation, they still think I'm joking! Let's build a Netflix branch in our headquarters park to provide exclusive film and television works for Netflix, and let this Roy Price be in charge." Working in the headquarters park, I don't believe he dares to do such a mess!"

"Netflix is going to make an original work?" Tosca Musk's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry, let's put up the shelf first. Tang En waved his hand, and then smiled coldly, "But you can release the signal and let those fools who are traveling with you recognize the reality!"

Netflix now has 22 million online disc rental users, monopolizing 95% of the market for online disc rental.

These users can be converted into streaming media users in the first place.

With streaming media, who would go to the trouble of renting a disc on the Internet, then waiting two or three days to get the disc from the courier company, and after watching it, send the disc back.

It's so annoying!

Or streaming video is simple and straightforward, more high-end!
