What vested interests most is change.

Hollywood film companies have followed a century-old business model once it is broken, no one can guarantee that they can survive.

But they also know that everything Li Rui said was not an unfair worry. In fact, film companies have already cooperated with Silicon Valley to try new models.

Last year, Relativity Film Company reached an agreement with Netflix. After the films produced are released in theaters, they will directly skip the TV network distribution process and log on to Netflix's website to play.

This caused a stir at that time and was considered a major victory for Silicon Valley invading Hollywood.

It is conceivable that this is just the first step in Silicon Valley. What may even happen next is: the film completely abandons the opportunity to be released in theaters and logs directly to the streaming media website!

When that day comes, Hollywood's survival soil will be completely changed.

Everyone is worried, but powerless, because Hollywood's power is too dispersed and they all use their own small abacus. No matter how they say they hate the enemy, it is impossible to unite and fight against Silicon Valley.

Even if the self-development channel method mentioned by Li Rui is feasible, the six giants will develop their own channels. The only consequence of being unable to integrate resources is that they are defeated by Silicon Valley.

They seem to see the future, but they are unable to change it.

Some Hollywood bigwigs even curse Silicon Valley every day, but when Silicon Valley throws olive branches to them, they take it over happily.

They know that this is a problem of raising a tiger, but what can they do? If they don’t answer, there will always be someone to answer.

And when the tiger is grown, it will devour the entire Hollywood.

The only choice they can choose is which tiger to fatten?

The drinks were caught in a decadent atmosphere, but they quickly became happy.

This is also the usual style of Hollywood, and I am drunk today.

Since we can't grasp tomorrow, let's grasp today. The big guys are talking about business, trading copyrights, and agreeing on roles.

Eiger walked up to Li Rui: "Li, you said it very well just now."

"I would rather what I said were wrong." Li Rui shrugged.

Eiger said: "I'm afraid you're right. Hollywood is facing a huge challenge, but look at them..." He pointed helplessly around and shook his head gently.

Li Rui said: "Sing as usual, dance as you dance, the doomsday will not come suddenly anyway."

"But one day will come," said Eiger.

Li Rui knew that the Disney CEO in front of him had extraordinary vision and began to plan a business structure outside the traditional model very early. On the one hand, he vigorously expanded the theme park market. For example, Disneyland, which cooperated with Haizhou, is in full swing, and on the other hand, he created new IPs, such as spending 4 billion magnesium to acquire Marvel, and at the same time he also paid great attention to online streaming media.

Despite the slower movement, Disney is still the first Hollywood giant to take the streaming market.

If there is no butterfly effect, Disney first started to reform its subsidiary ESPN a few years later, launched ESPN and devoted its online streaming media playback, ended its cooperation with Netflix to directly provide entertainment services to consumers. It later acquired Hulu and launched its own streaming platform Disney, and began to embrace streaming media in full.

Relying on its strong content library and strong financial resources, Disney quickly became Netflix's biggest rival and successfully surpassed Netflix in 2022, gaining more than 220 million paid subscription users!

This is also a strong opponent, but it is still in its infancy and is worthy of cooperation.

Li Rui said, "The most terrifying thing is that we are singing and dancing with the people who buried us. I'm glad I didn't see Dehistine today, otherwise I would have thought it was like a joke."

Dehasting is Netflix's CEO, not only the most hated competitor of major Hollywood film companies, but also their big funder.

While Netflix used money to make Hollywood dizzy and borrowed their film library to attract consumers on a large scale, it also tried to produce content on its own, opening up a whole industrial chain such as production, production, distribution, promotion and sales, and subsequent copyright expansion.

Even a wealthy company like Disney, under the temptation of Netflix, signed a three-year distribution agreement last year, and agreed that Netflix has the right to renew the contract under the same conditions.

Eiger said with emotion: "It's like a moth rushing towards the flames. Even though he knows it's dangerous, he can't resist the temptation of the light. Disney is a listed company and must be responsible for investors. All investors believe that cooperation with Netflix is ​​good for Disney's market value, so the board of directors has to do that."

Li Rui said: "The old saying of Huaguo is that you should not put all your eggs in the same basket. Maybe Disney can't do anything at the moment, but at least it can guarantee that you will not cultivate a super powerful enemy."

Eiger thought about Li Rui's words and nodded, "Don't put all the eggs in the same basket. It's such a great and ancient Eastern wisdom. Maybe I should turn my attention to hulu or the oil pipe..."

Hulu is also a video website, founded by NBC and Fox in 2007 and was sold to Yahoo in July this year.

Needless to say, the important part of Google is just that the development route is different from Netflix.

Li Rui smiled and said, "It may be a bit of a problem to treat hulu as another basket. As for the oil pipe, it is a more terrifying opponent than Netflix."

"Do I have any other choice?" Eiger asked helplessly.

"I can provide you with a choice," Li Rui said, "Baseda."

"Baseda?" Hearing this long-lost name, Eiger was a little dazed and thought he had traveled back ten years ago.

"You may not know that I acquired Blockbuster's online business and just went online a few days ago." Li Rui opened Blockbuster's website with his mobile phone and showed it to Eiger.

Eiger was very surprised to watch Xinbashida from top to bottom: "Wow, did you turn Blockbuster into an online video website? There are live broadcasts and... game videos. Well, I admit that I don't really understand the lifestyle of young people, but it looks quite interesting. Especially when I saw Blockbuster's logo, I recalled the time I went to Blockbuster's store with my girlfriend when I was young, and I missed it."

Li Rui mocked himself: "After watching the film library, you will miss that time even more."

Aegel laughed and said, "I saw "The Seven Dragons of the Rich and the Seven Dragons", "The Great Battle of Ok Town" and "Dull and Tiger Mountain Duel", which is indeed nostalgic enough..."

"I'm working hard to enrich the film library," said Li Rui. "It would be great if I could get Disney's support."

Eiger shook his head and said, "It's a pity that we have an agreement with Netflix."
