Tang En delivered an important speech: "The matter of the classification of "Breaking Up Men and Women" seems to be very small, but the stakes are significant. This means that the other five major film companies have formed a unity and work together to contain New Universal. ”

At such times, it is often men who are cautious, and it is female executives who are bold, Donna Langley said coldly: "This kind of behavior is very shameless." In the first two months, I felt that we were having difficulties in the operation of home entertainment, and the schedule was restricted. Now it's good, this is a poor dagger. ”

"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 it is fair competition, they are all tied together, and they will not be the opponents of New Universal!"

That's true.

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

Among them, New Universal's films 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 total box office of New Globe Group was 9.5 billion US dollars, accounting for 37.5% of the global total box office!

Vivid data, the most convincing.

New Universal is also a Hollywood giant, but the other five major film companies can only drink soup behind their buttocks, and it is strange that they do not resist.

Barry Diller spoke: "What they did was really wrong. Hollywood can have today's good situation because the Hollywood Six has formed a community of interests, using MPAA as a platform to unite with the outside world, rather than engaging in internal strife. It destroys the existing market mechanism and breaks the rules, and it is not good for anyone. ”

Bill McNick also said solemnly: "That's true, this thing...... Saying that small is not small, saying that big is not big, may not be without a solution. We can talk to each family, and I believe that friendly consultation is the result that everyone is looking forward to. ”

"Huh!"

The smile on Donn's lips was a little contemptuous.

Nina Jacobson is about to go into labor, and with a big belly, she has come to today's important meeting. Don had already promised her that she would succeed Bill McNick as the chairman and CEO of Down Pictures in the future.

She was very young, daring to fight, and her methods were tough, and she had long been tired of Bill McNick, a good old man, so she snorted coldly at the moment: "Everyone is looking forward to friendly consultations? I don't think so! What are the five of them doing with today's scene? I'm afraid their purpose is to get a result of a 'friendly consultation', right? Now that the pocket array has been laid down, let's jump directly in?"

Bill McNick's face sank and he was very displeased, and immediately smoked a cigarette and wanted to smoke.

Hollywood is like Wall Street, advocating power, unlike the concept of equality in Silicon Valley, where small employees can quarrel with the CEO. Leaders often smoke and hold meetings without paying attention to the presence of women.

It's a habit that has been cultivated for a long time.

Well, in the process of creative conception, the creators will definitely be full of cigarettes and meditate one after another. That's why almost everyone in Hollywood, both men and women, smokes.

Nina Jacobson also smoked occasionally, but now it was different, and she said very unceremoniously: "Mr. McNick, please don't smoke, there are babies here!"

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

In the conference room, there was silence.

Everyone felt it, because the incident of "Breaking Up Men and Women", and regardless of the external environment, has caused a huge conflict within New Universal.

The relationship between conservatives and hardliners has ossified.

That's probably one of their goals, right?

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

Although all of you here are core managers of the film business, the current situation seems to be developing in a bad direction.

Once it is not handled well, the internal division is first, and it is funny.

Donn's fingers tapped on the table, and after attracting everyone's attention, he said unhurriedly: "A few years ago, British Prime Minister Tony Blair introduced a policy. He has received many complaints that many patients often have to wait until two or three days after the doctor's appointment. Blair made a decision that all doctor's appointments must be made within 48 hours. ”

"It's clear that Prime Minister Tony Blair has good intentions and he wants to solve the problem of patient appointments. However, he ignores the fact that policies designed to address a single goal can often be hugely disruptive to the market. After the policy was issued, was the problem of patients' waiting time for appointments too long solved?

"As a direct result of the policy, doctors don't answer the phone because they simply can't get appointments within 48 hours. Doctors spend a lot of time dealing with sudden illnesses and events, such as car accidents, heart attacks, and food poisoning. The so-called two- to three-day appointment period is more of a backup time set aside by doctors to deal with such temporary emergencies. ”

"If this kind of backup time is squeezed out with policies, it can only stop the appointment mechanism. Prime Minister Tony Blair wanted to protect the rights of the patients, but it backfired, and he caused the most trouble to the patients. Fortunately, this decree has now been resolved. ”

This story does not have too deep a truth, but only illustrates the meaning of the market.

Robert Iger nodded: "Yes, the market is the market, and any intervention in the market through executive orders is a destruction of the market." The direction of the market can only be determined by the mechanism of the market. The matter of "Breaking Up Men and Women", on the surface, seems to be the five giants of Hollywood working together to restrain New Universal, but in fact, it is ...... It is also a constraint on themselves! Their loss of interests is not necessarily less than ours. I don't think their alliance will last long. It's better to earn less than no money at all. ”

"That's good!" Don couldn't help but cheer him, "No matter how little you earn, it's better than not making money." That's their fatal point!"

"Fatal point?"

Everyone was suspicious and amazed.

I can't fathom the intrinsic meaning of Donn's use of the word.

Barry Diller was secretly relieved, for he sensed a calming attitude from Donn's words.

That's good.

Don't make a big fuss!

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

Harmony makes money.

Unexpectedly, Don would not play his cards according to common sense at all.

"They do not hesitate to destroy the market and use such conspiracy and trickery to check and balance, what are we afraid of? Aren't they trying to destroy the market? Okay, what's the point of making a small fuss? If they want to destroy, just destroy it cleanly, and everyone will break up in two! The big deal is to break the existing Hollywood order and rebuild a Hollywood! With the strength of New Universal, it will definitely be the founder of the new order of New Hollywood!"

Donn's words were like diamonds, vibrating and powerful.

Scares all the conservatives stupid.

What is this for?

Flip the table?

Do you really want to fight one against five and take on Hollywood alone?

My God!

Lose your marbles!
