Barry Diller also has deep ties to Hollywood, having created the Paramount myth in the '80s.

But then the business got bigger and bigger.

Especially in recent years, after becoming the CEO of New Globe Group, the horizon is even greater, and the importance of Hollywood has become less and less.

In the case of New Universal, the TV Media Division is more profitable than the Film and Television Entertainment Department, and the Interactive Entertainment Division is also full of potential. Not to mention the booming Ministry of Tourism and Resorts and Consumer Goods.

The output value of the film industry is growing very slowly, but it is not the same in several other sectors.

Within a few years, the Entertainment Department will be the lowest-paid of the five departments of New Universal.

Barry Diller has long seen through it.

Hollywood's role for New Globe is more of an "advertisement".

Film and television works are all advertisements.

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

The effect will only get lower and lower.

So when many older veteran filmmakers have been discouraged from going under the knife against Hollywood, Barry Diller has been able to remain calm.

He knows where the future holds for New Universal.

Hollywood can't limit New Universal!

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

"You won't be unaware, Tosca is just conveying Donn's orders, and you shouldn't argue with her!" Barry Diller complained as he called Bill McNick into his office.

Bill McNick was still angry, and said angrily, "Do you know what that girl said about me?

Barry Diller twitched the corners of his mouth, "Then did you ever betray the company?"

"I!" Bill McNick's tone froze, and he said angrily: "What do I mean, don't you understand? This time I am facing the Big Five, and the MPAA! This will involve almost all the organizations and guilds in Hollywood, does Donn want to single out Hollywood? He is too impulsive!"

Barry Diller frowned, "I remember you said that they just want to get some benefits, they don't want to make a big fuss. ”

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

"And what are you afraid of?"

Barry Diller's tone became stern, and the attitude of criticism was very obvious.

Bill McNick said angrily: "But do you know Donne? When have you ever seen someone take advantage of him? The Big Five Alliance is determined to make Don back down." If the two sides do not give in to each other, the situation will certainly become more and more serious. ”

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

"Yes. ”

"They don't want to make a big fuss, we're not afraid of making a big fuss, and in the end there will definitely be a side that will back down, what are you afraid of?" Barry Diller said solemnly.

"Huh?"

Bill McNick was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief flashing across his face.

This attitude is already very obvious.

Barry Diller in unmistakable support for Donne!

Support Don to lead New Universal to fight Hollywood!

"What if...... What if they don't back down? it's going to ruin Hollywood!" Bill McNick almost roared.

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

"Huh?" Bill McNick didn't react for a while, and he felt that this old and serious guy in front of him suddenly became extremely strong?

Barry Diller said: "Destroy Hollywood, New Globe is still New Universal! Bill, you have been in charge of the film and television entertainment department for many years, and you have worked in Hollywood, and you probably don't know what kind of company we are. Let me tell you this, even if New Universal's headquarters moves to Silicon Valley, we still have the qualifications to become the boss of Silicon Valley! Even if we move to New York, we still have the ability to dominate the fashion and New York media circles! You know? None of us are afraid!"

"What about Hollywood? What about Hollywood?"

"Then it depends on their attitude. ”

Barry Diller waved his hand lightly.

There were some things he didn't say too clearly.

Next year, New Global will go public.

Once listed, it must be in accordance with the rules of the market, and it is necessary to be responsible for the shareholders, and there can be no stock price plummeting, which is too irresponsible.

In other words, after the new global is listed, there will be more constraints. At that time, it will be impossible for New Universal to single-handedly challenge Hollywood and sort out the pattern of Hollywood.

Take advantage of this stage to solve this matter once and for all.

So as not to cause trouble after listing.

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

Barry Diller added, "By the way, Don asked me to tell you a word. ”

Bill McNick couldn't help but smile wryly. Don talked to himself, and asked others to tell him, it seems that this time the contradiction is really irreconcilable.

Barry Diller said: "The deadline for the Oscars presidency is approaching, and the election for a new presidency is coming. If you still want to contribute a little bit to the film, you can run for this position. ”

"Oscar?"

Bill McNick's eyes lit up.

It's not that he values that position and that power, but that this sentence shows Donn's attitude.

The Oscar rotation can continue, at least it shows that ...... Hollywood won't change much!

There will be no devastating blows.

That's fine!

……

Tosca Musk doesn't care about that, she only carries out Donn's orders.

Soon, the New York Times fired the first shot, unraveling the current suspicions in Hollywood.

"In recent years, New Globe Group's Tangen Pictures, Marvel Studios, Rose Pictures, Universal Pictures, Pixar, Focus Pictures, Raging Pictures and other film companies have produced one after another wonderful blockbuster movies, including "Spider-Man", "Pirate League", "Spy", "Fast and Furious" and other series of movies, which have achieved great success and stolen more than half of the profits of the film market. ”

"Disney, Warner, Paramount, Columbia and Twentieth Century Fox, the five traditional Hollywood giants, are unwilling to be robbed of profits, and have no choice but to make a movie that can compete with the New Universal, so they can only resort to some unconventional means. They used their power on the MPAA's rating committee to impose rating restrictions on New Universal's films in order to force compliance. ”

"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 alliance fails to recognize its mistakes as soon as possible, it will inevitably hurt others and itself, and even have a very bad impact on Hollywood. ”

Subsequently, media outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter, MSN, Yahoo Entertainment, and The Wall Street Journal, reported on the incident.

This is the first time in history that the media has reported on Hollywood's power in such an all-round and unrestricted way.

For a while, public opinion was agitated!
