Top of the big era

The top entrepreneurs are all creating rules.

Zhou Buqi wants to create his own rules in Hollywood.

Ziweixing Global alone is not enough.

Netflix can also play a vital role!

Although this is a technology company in Silicon Valley, its main content products are movies and TV series. With the increasing scale of investment and the long-term global development of its business scope, it has already had a vital impact on Hollywood!

It has even changed the concept of Hollywood!

For example, the trend of women's rights in Hollywood.

In a few years, a vigorous women's rights event will break out in Hollywood. All parties will come out to attack Harvey Weinstein, a famous Hollywood boss and producer, and lead to his arrest and imprisonment.

You know, this guy has been playing with unspoken rules for more than one or two days, but for thirty years.

It is an open secret in Hollywood.

What's more, this is no longer a question of who is playing with whom. Many actresses are pretending to "fall in love" with Harvey Weinstein in order to become famous and get film contracts, and are conquered by his charm. Even the Oscars ceremony was using such jokes to make jokes.

No one thought it was inappropriate.

Just like Wang Jing in Hong Kong Island.

Suddenly one day, they all went out to settle accounts with Harvey Weinstein and left him on the pillar of shame. The development of feminist thought is not the key to this, because for decades, he has been accused and nothing happened.

But it came from Netflix!

Harvey Weinstein's status as a big boss comes from the independent film industry. He can be said to be the most influential and powerful independent film producer. He purchases dozens of independent films worldwide every year and then promotes them in the United States.

For some good movies and good seedlings, he will do his best to recommend them and give them the best resources.

Such ability makes filmmakers all over the world be cautious of him.

Because compared with commercial films, independent films are the main body of the film industry, and the number of independent films is dozens of times that of commercial films. Strong personal ability and abundant industry resources give Harvey Weinstein huge industry power.

With power, you can naturally make whatever unspoken rules you want.

Netflix broke this structure.

Copyright is what Netflix cares about most!

In addition to making movies by itself, Netflix's main source of copyright is to invest and purchase directly. And because Netflix is ​​a global business, it means that Netflix has to buy copyrights worldwide. The copyright fee Netflix gives is high enough, and selling independent movies to Netflix means that the movies can be distributed worldwide!

This is even better than Harvey Weinstein!

He can operate independent movies to the United States for distribution, and Netflix can distribute them all over the world!

It can be said that Netflix's new model completely replaces Harvey Weinstein's role in the field of independent films, and even far exceeds it. This means that independent filmmakers around the world don't have to please Harvey Weinstein, and actresses don't have to flatter him and express their "love" in a humiliating way.

Harvey Weinstein lost his power.

Naturally, the basis for unspoken rules was lost.

Hollywood is far less affluent than Silicon Valley, with too many practitioners, too much investment, and too low a rate of return. If even making money is difficult, then the first motivation for making movies must still be survival, for profit.

Silicon Valley's technology giants can make some decisions beyond profit in many things, because these big companies are too rich, and the big bosses are all super-rich and willing to pay for their ideals.

Similar situations in Hollywood are minimal.

Profits are the main theme.

This leads to Hollywood being a producer system, not a director responsibility system.

On the surface, the director is making the movie, but in fact the film company is leading the movie, and the director cannot affect the revenue of the film and television drama for the sake of art.

In the face of the choice of hackers, Hollywood also continued this idea.

On the surface, the nude photos of female stars were leaked, but in fact the film company is leading the whole incident, and the actresses cannot affect the revenue of the film and television drama for the sake of fame.

Zhou Buqi now holds Ziweixing Global in his left hand and Netflix in his right hand, which is enough for him to change some rules and create his own Hollywood power. Those vested interests in Hollywood will certainly not agree.

This is the fundamental disagreement.

But he will not waver.

At least give it a try.

Even if it didn't work, it wouldn't hurt him much.

What's more, Apple is paying for it.

Cook was very anxious. He took the initiative to contact Zhou Buqi and said worriedly: "Zhou, you must be careful about the photo matter."

Zhou Buqi didn't take the bait and asked: "Have you checked the data I asked you to check?"

"Still checking."

Cook didn't want to give him the bottom.

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "You just perfunctorily treat me like this? The download records are there, can't you find them if you check? What do you mean by this? Do you want to hide the evidence and exonerate the hackers who stole the user's privacy?"

"Don't put a big hat on me." Cook was a little unhappy, "You know what this means, I don't want Apple to be trapped because of the photo matter."

"Hmm?" Zhou Buqi did not back down, his tone full of questioning, "Isn't your attitude inappropriate? It was the security mechanism of Apple Cloud that went wrong, which gave those low-level hackers an opportunity to take advantage of it. You don't come out to take responsibility, but you are afraid that Apple will take responsibility? Isn't it right to take responsibility?"

Cook said lightly: "You know what I mean. Apple did not evade responsibility, but I don't want the public to distrust Apple because of the photo incident."

Zhou Buqi said: "Whether the public trusts or not comes from Apple's attitude towards users. Who will protect the rights of these victimized actresses, female models, and female hosts? Am I wrong to stand up to protect them? I said, we should cooperate Come, give the hackers a fatal blow! Isn't this what we should do? "

Cook said: "As far as I know, the FBI has already intervened, and this matter may be settled within a few days. So I hope that the incident will not ferment further during this period of time, and do not stimulate the hackers to release more photos. "

"It is the hackers' business to release how many photos." Zhou Buqi was unmoved, "I am not a hacker, and I don't care about hackers. I have my principles, and I will always stand on the side of justice. These victimized female artists are all vulnerable groups. I know that they are not as powerful as Apple's little finger. But I must speak for them, and I want to seek justice for them!"
