Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

Hollywood is not a city, so there is actually no mayor. In the past, the large Hollywood foundation was just the name of a place outside Los Angeles.

Therefore, after Hollywood developed later, it even attracted big consortiums from Wall Street to invest and prospered, but it was still not divided into a separate city.

But although there is no municipal government, there is no lack of management, especially since there are so many movie stars gathering here. Any little thing that happens may make the front page of tomorrow's newspaper.

So later the government set up a separate management agency here, and the person in charge of this management agency was not considered the mayor, so the title honorary mayor came into being.

Compared with other mayors who usually deal with various civil documents, the honorary mayor of Hollywood only deals with one thing, and that is the management of the Hollywood film and television industry.

So even though Hollywood is now dominated by giants, Columbia, Fox, Disney, etc. are the big rule makers and have various resources and channels in their hands.

But as the official boss, Bieber has a lot of power. For example, he can influence the approval of a movie and the classification of some movies.

At the same time, if something happens, these big companies in Hollywood are also willing to give him face. So if Hainer can win his support, he can break the embarrassing situation of being unable to independently release movies.

Of course, being friends with Bieber is just the beginning of a big-budget production on your own. Making a movie also requires a script, stars, and a director. Even if it can be released after filming, it still needs theaters, not to mention various publicity investments before the movie is released.

Sometimes, for a movie that costs hundreds of millions to shoot, ten or twenty million dollars are spent on publicity channels as if it were a joke. In China, the total cost of shooting a movie is not even as high as the promotional expenses of some movies.

So it’s not unreasonable for Hollywood movies to be so popular. At least people are willing to spend money, so they make more money. But in China, most people think about making a small profit and shooting a small-cost movie to see if it can work.

If the item is popular, you will make a lot of money. If it is not popular, you won’t lose much anyway.

"Can't you come forward? Do I have to come forward? You must know that you are more suitable to deal with these US government officials. After all, if I have too close contact with him, he may be attacked by his political opponents." Yang Dongxu said.

He understands what Joss means. At present, Hainer's record department really has no room to struggle in their territory. If they don't agree to provide assistance to them, the current situation can only remain in a stalemate.

This is because he has Yiting Technology and the talent show to support him. Otherwise, none of the companies that the record giants are interested in can escape his grasp.

Therefore, since it is difficult to achieve success in the recording field for the time being, the best choice now is to maintain our advantage in variety shows and at the same time actively develop the film field.

Apart from anything else, make a few masterpieces to build your reputation, and at least let the audience know that Heiner is still a film company. Otherwise, movie fans don't even know the name of your company, how can you build a brand here?

But as he said, as a Chinese, it is a bit inappropriate for him to contact American government officials. In fact, Americans are very conflicted in their hearts, and this conflict is also reflected in their behavior.

For example, the U.S. government always likes to publicize China's bad qualities and portray China as a poor and backward country. But U.S. politicians seem to be very afraid of China from the bottom of their hearts.

It would have been big news for government officials to accept donations from foreigners and participate in some parliamentary elections. But in this big news, accepting help from North Russia and China is definitely a front-page headline.

In this regard, the United States is even more wary of the Chinese, let alone a government official who has anything to do with the Chinese. Even with the help of some businessmen and Chinese Americans, it will be in the news for several days.

"Bieber has accumulated a lot of resources in Hollywood, especially he is very familiar with big stars, big directors and the media. So his next big plan is to run for Congress in Los Angeles. With the status of Los Angeles in the United States, it has become Los Angeles

As a member of Congress, you basically have half a foot in the U.S. Congress." Jos said.

"So?" Yang Dongxu still didn't understand. After all, the more politics was involved, the more counterproductive his involvement would be.

"Some members who join Congress just want to gain business benefits for themselves through some conveniences, while others want to climb up the ladder, such as becoming a member of the Senate, not just a member of the House of Representatives.

MP.

But for ordinary people, even someone like Bieber who has celebrities and media resources and can well shape his image among the people, it is not that simple to enter the Senate. He needs the support of big shots.

Therefore, this support can only come from high-level bosses in the United States, or from big plutocrats, but not from celebrities or the media, who have no decision-making power," Jos said.

Yang Dongxu nodded. In the United States, the media is an indispensable part of shaping one's personal image, so you can see that various speeches were widely reported during the presidential campaign.

But the media only has the right to report, and celebrities can also help build momentum, but they have no decision-making power. Especially when the parliamentary seat Bieber wants is not a representative of the people, the people above him have great decision-making power.

"I heard that the big boss is very familiar with the Kennedy family?"

"We have had several business cooperations."

"The current governor of California is former Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his wife is the niece of former President Kennedy," Joss said.

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows. Schwarzenegger naturally knew that, after all, this tough guy was an international superstar. He also knew about the star governor. After all, he knew about it before it was big news.

However, he really didn't know that his wife was from the Kennedy family, and he didn't pay too much attention to this aspect. In other words, he had only paid attention to those members of the Kennedy family with the surname Kennedy, and was not very familiar with other relatives of the Kennedy family.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is not news that celebrities become senators, mayors, governors, or even run for president. Every year during the presidential election, there are always people of one kind or another jumping out and shouting.

.

But compared to those even big stars, in the political arena, they basically perform like a clown with big thunder and small rain. Schwarzenegger is definitely the one who has achieved the highest achievements after entering politics among celebrities.

When I heard that Schwarzenegger became the governor of an economically developed continent like California, he would only think that Americans are fun-loving and that big stars can become governors.

But when it is known that his wife is the niece of the former president, the information here is extremely rich. Why did Schwarzenegger become the governor when other celebrities only played small roles?

If you still say that they were all elected fairly and fairly by American citizens, Yang Dongxu can only give you two: "Haha!"

"I happened to be meeting with Mr. Kennedy recently to discuss some matters." Yang Dongxu said.

Jos nodded, saying that this matter should be over here.

"Is there really nothing the record department can do? It's not like we don't have any media resources at all. Because of variety shows, we have good relations with several TV stations. It seems that such big things as throwing dirty water are not the exclusive domain of those big companies, right?

?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"In a pure public opinion war, although we don't have an advantage, we are not helpless. You also said that we have our own media and have good relations with several major TV stations. The current problem is the production and sales of records.

Another channel is piracy.

They have an absolute advantage in these channels. Even if our records produce good results, the singers can become popular, but the records will not make any money. In addition, the stars who become popular are smeared and cannot even receive commercial performances.

This shows that we can’t get a dime of return on our investment in artists. Once or twice is nothing. Over time, even if we are rich, we don’t care about this loss.

But celebrity artists themselves can't stand it, because they can't convert their fame into big banknotes in their pockets. A few people can persevere, and besides, these are celebrities, and they are more realistic than ordinary people."

The company can afford the losses, but the artists can't bear it. If the company pays to support these artists, the basic salary will definitely be fine. But it certainly can't give them various benefits that match their reputation. After all, the company is still losing money and not making money, so this is

This creates an infinite loop.

Those big record companies had just reached the Achilles' heel of the Hainer Record Department, so they wouldn't let go of it as soon as they came up. It caught Joes off guard, or in other words, he had already started to deal with this Achilles' heel, but it was a pity that his opponents didn't.

Give him time.

"Our distribution channels are indeed not as good as his, but piracy..." Yang Dongxu sneered, but then shook his head: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say this."

He is indeed an expert in piracy, so since the other party can use piracy to make his investment and return disproportionate, then he can also take advantage of this.

After all, piracy is also a headache for many record and film companies in the United States. Don’t be fooled by some media reports that the United States is concerned with intellectual property rights.

It’s just that the United States has done a very good job in terms of property rights, especially in some patented technologies that can collect money. But this does not mean that there is no piracy in the United States, even because Hollywood and English records sell well all over the world. The number of pirates in the United States is higher than that in other countries.

The place is even more rampant.

But if you think about it carefully, if others can use this trick, he really can't. Others can use it because they are on their own territory. They can be sure that Yang Dongxu can't catch him, even if he catches the lawsuit.

It's not difficult to do it for three to five years. Anyway, you don't lack the money to litigate, and neither do others.

But if Yang Yao engages in piracy, especially in Europe and the United States, he is taking the initiative to give people a clue. If he doesn't get a lot of blood, he won't be able to escape.

So for a while, Yang Dongxu suddenly felt a sense of depression that he had not experienced in a long time. He had been living freely in China and quietly investing abroad to make a lot of money. It had been a long time since he had been stuck in a situation like this but had no choice but to deal with it.
