Heads Up Hollywood

The primary industry is agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry, the secondary industry is manufacturing, and the tertiary industry is service industry... This is almost a common industry classification in all countries in the world.

However, America is different.

In addition to the traditional three major industries in the United States, there is also a unique fourth industry in the world-smart industry.

For example, this year, IBM will sell its computer division to Lenovo. This is IBM's strategic transformation, and it will gradually become a software and service-oriented enterprise.

The PC field has low technical barriers and low entry barriers. This is destined to be a highly competitive market. Due to the rapid development of compatible machines and vicious competition at low prices in the market, the profit margin of the PC industry will inevitably drop sharply.

Instead of this, it is better to enter the higher-end smart industry with higher profit margins to make money.

Another example is Apple, which has many hardware products, from iMac to iPod, from iPhone to iPad. However, Apple does not have any manufacturing plants under its umbrella. Apple is only responsible for product design, resource integration, marketing, sales and after-sales service. It lacks the "smart advantage" of the assembly process and is all outsourced.

Use wisdom to earn the highest profit!

In the same way, technology giants such as Oracle, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are also developing in this direction.

Hollywood's film industry, in the final analysis, is a service industry and a tertiary industry.

In essence, it is no different from foot washing or massage, both of which serve people.

It's just that compared with overseas film markets, Hollywood has better services, can improve better service products, and is more popular with consumers.

From the specification level, there is no distinction between high and low.

Now, the industrialization process of Hollywood movies has matured, or in other words, has reached a peak. As long as the gap in film and television special effects is perfected, there will be no possibility of any breakthrough.

If you want to further lead Hollywood to lead the world, you must have a higher vision and a higher style!

Industrial upgrading is an inevitable choice.

It's just that Hollywood movies are popular all over the world, making it difficult for Hollywood bigwigs to have a sense of crisis at this time.

Smart industry is not a new word in the United States.

After hearing this, Barry Diller realized something, and tentatively said, "Twain, you mean that Hollywood needs to upgrade its industry?"

Tang En said: "Shouldn't it? Hollywood and Silicon Valley are industrial areas of the same level. As a result, over the past few years, Silicon Valley has become more and more important. Hollywood... besides movies and stars, what else? The development of the movie industry, It is approaching saturation. Service, smart service, is the new round of growth point for future benefits.”

"You mean Dolby Laboratories and imax?"

Barry Diller said suddenly.

Tang En nodded and said: "Basically, that's what it means. Hollywood movies have been solidified, and even their thinking has been solidified, and the novelty they bring to the world will become worse and worse. At the same time, the film industries of all countries in the world are It is imitating Hollywood and making continuous progress. If it stays the same, the gap between Hollywood and foreign countries will become smaller and smaller."

Barry Diller took a deep breath, looked at Tang En, amazed, and even faintly admired.

This thinking, this pattern, this field of vision... is shocking!

Michael Ovitz didn't know much about the internal situation of the New Universal Group, so it was difficult to integrate all kinds of information to understand Tang En's words.

After pondering for a while, he hesitated to ask: "Tang En, you mean... the future of Hollywood movies will rely on Dolby Laboratories and imax to find their advantages?"

"There is no doubt! Industrial upgrading is the only way for Hollywood to continue to lead the world!" Tang En's answer was firm, "Of course, Dolby Laboratories and imax are just representatives, and a large number of intelligent consulting and data services are needed , technical support and other aspects of the company are the key drivers of Hollywood's advantages."

Michael Ovitz understood a lot now, "No wonder you said that the operation mode of the special effects industry is very representative!"

Tang En smiled and said: "That's right, that's what it means. The special effects industry, Hollywood has it, and overseas regions also have it. If Hollywood wants to maintain an absolute leading edge, it is our special effects company that provides overseas special effects companies with what they don't have. Technical support and technical services. Let them do the hardest work, we only need to use wisdom and the smallest cost to earn the highest profit."

This is how the iPhone works.

Not only that.

Why are cloud services so popular?

Why are the market values ​​of Microsoft, Amazon, and Alibaba so high?

The biggest valuation business is because of cloud services!

Cloud service is not the service industry of the tertiary industry, but a genuine smart industry.

Qualcomm was able to beat Apple to its knees because their "business intelligence" was higher than Apple's.

Foxconn works for Apple, but Apple has to work for Qualcomm.

The future of Hollywood will inevitably be dominated by Tang En.

He doesn't want to just watch Silicon Valley's status in the world become higher and higher, while Hollywood's importance is getting lower and lower, and it has gradually become synonymous with stars and entertainment.

The specifications must be raised!

"Forget it, they won't do it, let's do it ourselves! Barry, after we get back, we'll hold a high-level meeting to study this issue. New Global Group... must maintain its leading edge over competitors in the industry!"

Barry Diller was deeply impressed by Dunn's words.

Michael Ovitz was deeply moved.

In the past few years, he watched Tang En go all the way, experienced wind and rain, but saw rainbows every now and then.

Most importantly, his thinking ability is very advanced!

When the bigwigs in Hollywood were still complacent about proposing the standardization proposal for the film and television special effects process, Tang En had already raised his vision to a higher level.

He is no longer satisfied with entertainment movie content, but wants to develop into an intelligent movie service industry.

He's ahead of everyone in Hollywood!

Dolby Laboratories, imax, Netflix and Facebook, it is conceivable that the new Universal Group in the future will have room for development with transcendent ambitions.

"Forget it, I don't understand the so-called smart industry. If I can manage Legendary Films well, it's not bad." Michael Ovitz shook his head, feeling that he had more energy than he wanted.

In contrast, Barry Diller, who was older, was full of enthusiasm and his eyes lit up, as if he had found a greater opportunity.

Michael Ovitz felt emotional.

Now I understand it.

Why did Tang En cooperate with him to found Legendary Pictures, but he was willing to hand over the CEO position of New Universal Group to Barry Diller.

There is indeed a gap.
