Chapter 50: The Sunset in Hollywood

The next day, the whole world was boiling because of the press conference of Future Technology, which also became famous because of this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

China's most authoritative CCTV also reported on the high-tech technology of the future technology in the morning news.

"This is the end of Hollywood, and the Warcraft movie is probably the swan song of Legendary Pictures." -- The Washington Post

"A fatal blow from ancient China, a hidden killer." -- Chaoyang News

Whether it is a big newspaper or a tabloid, they have given a certain page of coverage to Future Technology.

Donna Universal, President of Sony Columbia, Jeffrey Jeffrey, President of Time Warner, Robert of Disney, Katzenberg of Paramount Dreamworks, Joseph, President of 20th Century Fox, and other famous figures in the film industry have all gathered because of futuristic technology.

Howard pointed to the news on the TV and the stack of newspapers in his hand, and said weakly, "What are we going to do now?" Now that you're all together, let's talk about your opinions. ”

Unlike in the past, when there was fierce competition to the death, sitting here now is to find a way out for themselves.

It can be said that the news of the future technology is the black swan of their stocks, and the improvement of the stock market system of the US stock market has also become their nightmare, no one is optimistic about their situation, in fact, they themselves are not very optimistic about the future of the company.

They now hope that the system of the U.S. stock market is the same as China's, with a limit of up and down, so that some of them will not get to the current situation, their situation can be said to be domestic and foreign difficulties, not only the future technology of their share of their industry is eyeing the tiger, but also their investors are also ruthless.

The stocks of some investment companies were thrown out without hesitation, and they made a fortune on the boat of the six major films, and now it seems that it is time for them to get off, and it is because of this that the blow to the six major films is very big.

Donna still tried to give some advice on construction: "You also know what kind of virtue those vampires on Wall Street are, now except for our parent company is unwilling to abandon us, I'm afraid no one is willing to help us, we still hope to reach a cooperation with the future film industry, after all, no matter how big their appetite is, they can't eat such a big market." ”

Joseph also interrupted Donna's words directly, and sneered: "Donna, the reason why we are sitting here is because we are still valuable, and our company is still valuable to the parent company, and it won't be long before we can't reflect our value, and we should be swept away." “

Donna naturally didn't get annoyed, and still said very calmly, and didn't do anything about Joseph's rudeness.

Jeffrey and the other presidents said nothing, as if what was happening now had nothing to do with them.

Howard also smiled bitterly, and in the face of Donna's words, he also thought about this question: "Donna, cooperation?" And where do you work with them, actors? Prop? Special effect? They don't need these things at all. ”

Joseph laughed, and then said, "Howard, yes, it's clear, we're almost done, what do they need?" What is needed are screenwriters, those directors who are needed, they need us at all, but those people we all looked down on before. ”

The status of Hollywood screenwriters is of course much inferior to that of actors and directors, not to mention the bosses and producers who give out the money. The Writers Guild of the East and the Writers Guild of the West are two union organizations that represent writers who contribute to the fields of film, radio, television, and new media in the entertainment and journalism industries of the United States.

The writers' strike against the Alliance of Film and Television Producers (AMPTP), an organization representing 350 filmmakers and television producers, including studios, broadcast networks, television networks and independent producers, negotiated 80 types of disputes in the film and television industry. More than 12,000 screenwriters took part in the strike.

The Writers Guild claims that the strike will be a "marathon" strike. Nick Conte, a negotiator for the Coalition of Filmmakers, said that if the strike continues, then there will be no resumption of negotiations, "and we can't negotiate when the gun is pointed at our head – it's stupid to do that".

Conservatively calculated, the U.S. entertainment industry lost at least $500 million, but if TVB's Oscars or Starry Sky's Grammy events were affected, TVB's advertising revenue in the first quarter of the year would be reduced by 12.5 billion.

It is this kind of general strike that has improved the treatment of some screenwriters, but the relative treatment has not been improved.

As the presidents of the six largest film companies in Hollywood, they naturally looked down on these screenwriters, but now it seems that they are the ones who are not needed in these film companies, which also makes the presidents present smile bitterly.

Donna was also silent, indeed, it seems that there is no place for them in this industry now, but her eyes lit up and she thought of an idea: "We still have so many film and television adaptation rights, we can do sequels, and technology will never refuse those dollars in the future." ”

Howard paced back and forth, lost in thought, and after thinking for a while, he also said: "Donna, what you said is still somewhat constructive, at least we still have so many film and television sequels to make, we can go and ask Future Technology to cooperate with us." They used to beg us, but I didn't expect it. Now it's our turn to beg them. ”

Joseph didn't quite agree: "Why does Future Technology cooperate with you?" Do you have the qualifications, and now we beg them, with green dollars? I don't think they will lack this, don't talk about it with any sentiments, right? ”

Jeffrey, Robert, and Katzenberg, who have not spoken, spoke at this time, and their tone was also pessimistic: "Everyone also knows that the trend of the stock market is more than half a month different from reality, to be honest, we don't have much confidence in the company, and now even if the future technology is false, I'm afraid the situation is not optimistic, and several of us have sold off the stocks in our hands." ”

"What? What do you say? "Howard and Donna and Joseph were all shocked, don't look at Joseph who kept saying that he was not optimistic about their company, but he didn't just sell the stock so easily." Aren't you going to keep doing it? ”

It is no wonder that the stocks of several of their companies plummeted in the stock market yesterday, and it turned out that not only Wall Street people were manipulating, but also some executives of their own companies sold their own companies' shares.

Although Jeffrey is the president of Time Warner, he has a lot of other industries, and they don't have a lot of shares in the company, in their opinion, the rise of future technology is unstoppable, but they still sit here to finish their last meeting for the company.

You must know that although the cash flow of the film company is relatively sufficient, but once a few films Waterloo, the film company will face a very embarrassing situation, so the fault tolerance rate of their company is not high, and making too many wrong decisions will probably be the same as MGM.

And there are a lot of films that can't stop filming now, which is why they are not very optimistic, the future technology alone has nearly billions of dollars in cash, how can it be compared with the future technology?

Although the people here know about this situation, they are still unwilling to face such a cruel reality, their technology is not comparable to others, and no one else has money, and they are also poor in donkey skills.

When Joseph saw that everyone stopped talking, he was also annoyed: "Is it just like watching the glory of Hollywood pass away little by little?" We're at the top of the film industry. After saying that, he was also silent, it was top-notch, but that was before.

"Let's talk to the people of the future technology, if it really doesn't work, we can only use the last resort, which can at least delay a little time." Everyone present nodded and made the decision. As for that last resort, everyone knows it.
