One-on-one Hollywood 861 author Qianduxue full text 2797 words

Geographically, Hollywood is home to numerous production facilities, soundstages, office buildings, and film production process centers. More than a dozen companies that control more than half of the world's entertainment industry are headquartered in Los Angeles. Within a 48-kilometer radius of Hollywood, executives, agents, producers, actors and directors all gather here, and the meetings to decide what films to make are held here. In a sense, every big star in the global entertainment industry has to come to Hollywood if he wants to truly become a world-class star. However, with the advent of globalization, Hollywood's "outward migration" seems to be a trend, not just the outsourcing of the special effects industry. Hollywood is a market economy, but there is no feeling of "worrying about the country and the people", and making money is the ultimate goal. Economic escape is the essence of Hollywood's outward migration. More and more films, from financing, to casting, to shooting, to post-production... The main process is carried out in foreign countries. Except for the project establishment process, which is decided by Hollywood, all other processes are moving out. This shows what? Even if there is no Hollywood film company, as long as foreign film companies can find Hollywood teams, they can produce Hollywood movies. Especially some low-cost movies, it is difficult to tell from the visual content whether this is a Hollywood movie or not. Hollywood can't just rely on commercial blockbusters and visual effects, can it? After the emergence of streaming media, even Hollywood is suspected of being beaten down by Silicon Valley. Is this still the unique Hollywood that leads the world's film industry? This is the reason why Tang En should plan as soon as possible and develop the smart industry. If Hollywood wants to gain absolute prestige, uniqueness is inevitable. Like New Universal's Dolby Laboratories and imax. However, this is not enough. Dunn wants to make New Universal the most special one in Hollywood! "The core of Hollywood movies is editing and post-production. Hollywood currently has more than a dozen excellent film service companies, including stock film footage, laboratories, camera equipment, recording equipment, props, sets, costumes, architecture, lighting equipment Wait." Barry Diller attaches great importance to Dunn's long-term planning, and immediately started research after returning to the company. It is difficult to rely on the smart industry to make money in the short term. However, as long as the long-term layout is successful, it can lay a solid foundation for the development of the new global group in the future. Dunn asked: "Do other regions and countries have similar services?" Barry Diller said: "Yes, but it has not been industrialized. Many similar project services are diversified and not professional enough. The Los Angeles area has a total of There are more than 400 studios with an area of ​​more than 410,000 square meters. The scale of Hollywood provides convenience for the industrialization of the film service industry." Dunn nodded and opened the investigation report he submitted. Among them, there are 8 major movie service providers in the Los Angeles area, all of which are unique in the world. "Kodak is probably the largest movie service provider in Hollywood, with a turnover almost twice that of Fujifilm. It is an important supplier of film, photographic paper and equipment in the entertainment industry." Barry Diller saw Dunn shaking his head and said: Explained: "Kodak's turnover last year was nearly 13 billion US dollars, and its market value exceeded 10 billion US dollars. We cannot afford such a large company." Dunn smiled slightly. He doesn't like Kodak, and it's not just because he can't eat it? Kodak stubbornly adheres to the film business. In the increasingly popular market of digital media, it has not been able to keep up with the pace of the times. The once behemoth suffered bankruptcy in just a few years. As for the next company, it will focus on the processing and distribution of motion picture film, the production and distribution of DVDs and CDs, as well as content services, projection services, and home entertainment services. It is the technical practice of this company that the world has the first color film! In terms of service and intelligence, the company has done more to Hollywood than Kodak. Films all over the world are almost inseparable from this company. However, the company is a subsidiary of Thompson Multimedia Group, with 73,000 employees in more than 30 countries, and its business scope includes the provision of video technology, systems, finished products and other services. There is no possibility of any merger. In third place is the company, a camera manufacturer that shoots 80% of Hollywood movies. In particular, the company's products are not sold to the outside world, and its equipment can only be rented through the company or its agents. It is a genuine and intelligent enterprise that surpasses Hollywood. The fourth place is Dolby Laboratories under New Universal, which is the largest audio system supplier in the fields of film, broadcasting, music and other fields. At Dunn's request, he also started working with imax to develop the vision system. "Huh? This company is very good!" Seeing the fifth-ranked Avid technology company, Tang En couldn't help but light up. This is a new company whose main business is digital editing systems for film, music, TV and other fields. Many of its products are widely used by film companies and TV stations. Its audio editing system and digital storage system are the main processing systems for current digital video and music products. In the future, digital will gradually replace film and traditional records, and become the supply format for music, radio and film and television content, and even film copies will increasingly prefer digital formats that are cheaper, more convenient to transmit, and more conducive to long-term maintenance. Barry Diller said: "This company has not been established for a long time, but it has developed very well, especially in recent years. It has developed very rapidly. More than 80% of Hollywood film companies are using this company's digital services. Last year, The company's sales are $640 million, half of which are from overseas markets." "Overseas markets?" "Yes, Avid Technologies has provided technical services to more than 90 film companies around the world. This year's partners include: There may be more than 110." Barry Diller's words made Dunn very moved. It can provide technical services for film companies all over the world, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the industry reputation and brand value of New Universal Group. The key is, the price is not expensive! Last year's sales were only 640 million US dollars, and the profit... It is difficult to exceed 100 million US dollars According to the market conditions, the company's valuation is about 1 billion US dollars. Barry Diller naturally understood Dunn's intention and smiled, "In addition to Avid Technology, there is another company, Laser-Pacific Media, which provides post-production services. Audio and digital editing services." Dunn nodded, "Didn't you say on the phone that there are three more reliable companies?" Barry Diller said with a smile: "That's true, except for the two companies just mentioned. In addition, there is the THX company, which is dedicated to improving the audio and picture quality of movies, home entertainment, video games and game consoles. This is different from the Dolby soundtrack and the picture quality standard of Laser-Pacific Media. Gathering together is beneficial to complement each other." Tang En said proudly: "Then don't hesitate, do it right away! Buy these three companies! The top technical support and smart services will be given to New Global The group brings unparalleled influence in the entertainment industry." "Avid technology company is different from LP media company, THX company is not small." "Huh? Does it have a giant background?" "It's not a giant, but it is definitely not small." Barry Diller shook his head. "Who is it?" "Lucasfilm." "Ah?" Dunn couldn't help but be stunned. Unexpectedly, THX company turned out to be a subsidiary of Lucasfilm. That is true. In the previous life, Disney could buy Lucasfilm at a sky-high price, and also distributed a lot of stock to George Lucas. How could it be possible without real materials? "George can't be sold," Barry Diller sighed. Dunn waved his hand, "It's easy to handle!" "It's easy to handle?" "The big deal is to buy Lucasfilm too!"
