Prior to 9/11, there were almost no restrictions on the dissemination of information in the United States, and people were allowed to express any of their views, except for unconstitutional statements such as racial discrimination.

In the aftermath of 9/11, Congress passed the Anti-Terrorism Act, which greatly limited the space for free speech. But as long as it's not too much, it doesn't matter.

However, for all walks of life, especially the entertainment communication industry, there are great industry constraints.

Not only official requirements, but also industry self-discipline.

Television and radio industry constraints are in the hands of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC restricts the content of television stations and radio stations by licensing them.

The main thing is to restrict public television stations from broadcasting **** and obscene pictures and language during the day and in the first half of the night. Swear words should also be beep out so as not to poison teenagers.

For cable TV stations, there are no content constraints. TV stations can voluntarily rate according to the rating criteria and then target a targeted user base.

The industry constraints of the film are mainly in the hands of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).

The six major members of the Motion Picture Association of America are Warner, Universal, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Disney, and Sony Pictures. The monopoly of the right to speak determines the current pattern of the six giants in Hollywood.

Therefore, this membership is very important!

According to the rules of the MPAA, if it is unanimously approved, new members can be admitted, and if it is unanimously approved by the parties concerned, the old members can be dismissed.

Of course, it is impossible to get all members to pass unanimously and become new members without transcendent influence in the industry.

Even DreamWorks, which has the triumvirate of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen, has not even reached the threshold of entering the MPAA!

The last new member to be unanimously approved by MPAA members and successfully joined was Turner Entertainment in the early 90s.

The big boss is Ted Turner!

It was President George H.W. Bush who was in power!

Ted Turner is qualified to kill both the official and the industry.

However, not long after Turner Entertainment became a new member, it merged with Time Warner.

Turner Entertainment could not coexist with Warner Bros., and was immediately removed.

At this MPAA meeting, Don must attend and give some explanations.

Otherwise, Universal Pictures' membership is likely to be lost!

At the beginning of the year, New Universal acquired MGM, resulting in the New Universal Group having two members, Universal Pictures and MGM.

Then, the MPAA held a meeting and removed MGM from membership.

If half a year later, Universal Pictures also loses its membership, then something will really happen.

Losing the right to speak, New Universal's film industry will inevitably fall to the bottom.

Not to mention anything else, the movie classification alone can be squeezed fiercely.

There is no way, two fists are hard to beat four hands.

Even though Don is already the richest man in the world and has transcendent social influence, in the face of the collective power of Hollywood, he has to bow his head and go to the appointment.

He knows that this MPAA meeting is equivalent to a criticism conference.

Even...... It could be a division of interests.

I'm afraid that all the people are looking at the interests of the new world, waiting to eat a piece of meat and drink two mouthfuls of blood.

Michael Eisner wants the rights to the film adaptation of the "Fantastic Four" series, and others can't help but think about it!

Barry Diller, CEO of New Globe, will accompany Donn to the meeting.

"The last time I was here was 15 years ago. Barry Diller rode in Donn's car, looked at the MPAA building that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and said with some emotion.

Don smiled, "Are things wrong?"

"Things are not people?" Barry Diller's expression was a little mocking, "No, in the past few decades, the MPAA has been in the hands of the same people. ”

Compared to the ever-changing Silicon Valley, Hollywood has changed so little.

The six giants have basically existed for nearly a hundred years.

Tang En squinted slightly: "Things are still coming faster, if we delay it for another 3 months, we will be safer." I have already heard the tone of the White House, and it will be very complicated to deal with it. ”

The current president of the MPAA, Jake Valenty, has been at the helm for 38 years and is highly respected.

However, the MPAA has never been a separate industry organization.

The United States does not have a Department of Culture, there is no Department of Propaganda, and in many cases, the MPAA has to take on this part of the responsibility.

It's like the Federal Reserve.

What is as simple as a simple private enterprise?

This summer, Fahrenheit 911 got out of hand.

As a result, the White House is very dissatisfied with Jack Valenty.

It is conceivable that his career as chairman is coming to an end.

Barry Diller shook his head, "I've known Jack for 30 years and I know him. Between politics and Hollywood, he prefers to defend Hollywood's interests. The loss of control of "Fahrenheit 911" may also be his recognition of Harvey Weinstein's industry influence. ”

"Be cautious, aren't you afraid of taking responsibility, and your reputation will not be protected in your later years?"

Don was a little mocking.

In the first few years of his tenure, Jack Valenty can be described as a drastic reform, under strong pressure, bringing a new look to Hollywood. The introduction of the film classification system, and the replacement of the "Hays Code", is his greatest achievement.

However, in recent years, he has been lying a little on the credit book and waiting for death.

Offend no more.

Enjoy your old age in Hollywood all day long.

It has long been corrupted by the spirit.

In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of pirated digital films, which is due to the inaction of the MPAA's Film Security Bureau, apparently because it does not want to contradict the tech giants.

Like Michael Eisner, who openly bombarded Apple for playing piracy, Jack Valenty will no longer do.

Barry Diller smiled, "Be careful...... Nothing bad. ”

Don also smiled and nodded.

The more cautious you are, the more you are afraid of a bigger mess.

Harvey Weinstein's affairs are messed up enough.

Old man Valenty's current thoughts must be to calm things down as soon as possible.

……

Don has been to the MPAA many times.

Mainly when I was filming "My Grand Greek Wedding" and "Spider-Man".

He had never been to the conference room on the fifth floor of the MPAA headquarters building.

It's huge!

The hue is dark red.

There's an old-school old Hollywood feel to it.

People in the Field...... It's even more bigwigs!

Just like the list, Lei Shidong, Ted Turner, Howard Stringer, Michael Eisner, Barry Meyer, Tom Rothman and others are all here.

There are also representatives of Jeffrey Katzenberg and Spielberg, two major dream factories, as well as Jon Feleme of Lionsgate, and even Bob Weinstein of D&Ms Pictures.

He's Harvey Weinstein's own brother!

A lot of old-school actors were also there.

All are male.

are very influential in the industry.

Donn saw Michael Douglas at a glance.

This subordinate of the year was defeated, and in order to beg for mercy with Tang En, even his wife was obediently sent out.

At this moment, he is full of red light and full of ambition.

It's like winning the lottery.

Under the other Donn's defeated Jerry Bruckheimer chatted enthusiastically.

The meeting hasn't started yet.

Everyone who arrived in advance chatted in groups, a bit like the atmosphere of an industry party.

However, as soon as Don appeared, the lively atmosphere seemed to suddenly cool down.

Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on him.

There are hateful, emotional, sympathetic, angry, curious, cynical, and good-looking...... And so on.

Don was very carefree, ignoring all of this and entering with a smile on his face.

He held his hands behind his back, held his head high, and would nod his head and greet acquaintances when he saw them.

How can there be a sense of urgency to be attacked by the enemy?

It's like coming to receive a prize.

"Arrogance!"

"Ignorant child!"

"See how long you can run rampant!"

"Today, I'll call you back to your original form!"

Seeing this scene, I don't know how many people cursed fiercely in their hearts.

The handicap of the movie is so big.

The more share Don Enchan grabbs, the fewer opportunities they will have.

Even if he is a good old man who is beautiful on weekdays, after seeing Tang En's rocket-like rise, he will inevitably feel jealous.

Don didn't care what they would think, he walked up to Michael Douglas and Jerry Bruckheimer with a smile, "What are you talking about?

Michael Douglas's face was stunned, but the panic in his heart still accounted for most of it, and he said, "I'm talking about movies." ”

"Movie?" Don hooked the corners of his mouth, pretending to be surprised, "What? Could it be that "King Arthur" has taken a turn for the better and suddenly sold out at the box office?"

As soon as these words came out, Jerry Bruckheimer almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.

It's really a pot that can't be opened!

His "King Arthur" suffered a serious box office fiasco, which directly led to the miscarriage of Lei Shidong's "Revival Paramount" plan, which Lei Shidong had painstakingly operated for many years.

He's a Paramount sinner!

If it weren't for the fact that he volunteered this time and was willing to come forward to challenge Donn, it would have left a little effect. Lei Shidong may have wiped him out with a wave of his hand.

Jerry Bruckheimer held back his anger and said with red eyes: "Donn, don't be too complacent! Don't think about it today!"

Tang En sneered, "Does this have anything to do with you? Are you qualified? Ridiculous!"

With a sarcastic remark, he turned around and left.

"You!"

Jerry Bruckheimer's face turned red.

Michael Douglas hurriedly comforted and whispered: "Don't worry, this year's ...... Even if he has the means to reach the sky, he can't get by!"

Jerry Bruckheimer's eyes flashed a little vicious, and he said coldly: "I hope that when he leaves, his waist can be so straight!"
