Chapter 503 Time and Fate

Hollywood movies, which have lost the profit intake of the entire industry chain, face the rise of the TV industry, resulting in a large loss of audiences.

There is also the economic upswing, people's income is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more entertainment methods, but they are reluctant to go to the cinema in the 1950s.

After only five or six years of support, 70% of the companies in Hollywood have fallen into a state of loss.

Then in the 1960s, first the black uncles made demands and demanded power all over the United States.

Then came the Vietnam War, a large number of young people were sent to the jungle tens of thousands of kilometers away, and then there was the rise of the hippie movement.

Countless young people are either not in the United States, or they are wandering around the country. Not many people go to the cinema to watch movies.

Coupled with the fact that TV sets are getting cheaper and cheaper, the programs have also changed from 4 channels in the 1950s to 11 channels in the 1960s.

In an instant, those in the film industry who didn't even have the ability to fight back were beaten to the ground.

Of course, not all of them were as miserable as Mi Gaozi.

What really made this company go into decline was not the management, nor the inability to produce good movies.

Instead, after the death of the helmsman, the dispute over film production concepts began, and for a while they made blockbuster movies, and then turned to only making low-cost movies.

There were serious differences in business philosophy. Migao Enzyme was able to support it for 20 years before it reached the brink of bankruptcy. It can only be said that this company has a profound foundation.

Of course, it is also related to their glorious past.

In other words, if a company is always immersed in the past, it is difficult to accept the fact that it has declined.

This situation is equally valid for Paramount, who was either the first or the second in the comparison with Mikozyme.

It's just that Paramount saw the situation a few years faster than Mikozyme, or he had a little less background than Mikozyme.

It couldn't hold on too early, so that in the mid-1960s, it began to compromise with capital, and then it was acquired by an oil group from Maple Leaf Country in order to enter the US market.

In the past, both the boss and the second child were bought by others, but the biggest difference between the two is that one was entrusted by someone else, and the other found a strong owner when he sold himself.

But don't look at Paramount, it seems that not many negative news broke out.

But I really met a good boss. Unfortunately, I have lost money for 20 years. Although I have produced many good movies, one big hit is not worth the loss of three movies.

So much so that the oil companies that lost money in the end couldn't hold on, and sold them directly to the Americans.

And the person who bought Michael Enzyme had the same purpose as the oil group in Maple Leaf Country, and they were all famed film companies.

But comparing the two attitudes towards their respective film companies, the oil seller is simply an angel.

As soon as Corian split up Mikozyme's movie business and hotel business, it directly led to Mikozyme Films, which will become a money-making tool that keeps changing owners and being repeatedly squeezed out of profits in the next few decades.

As for the rest of Hollywood.

In the future, one person's box office will be able to single-handedly beat Di Shini from other companies in Hollywood. At this time, he is still producing various animations for TV stations, and he is also digging into the profit potential of his own amusement park.

Live a comfortable life with no big money and little money.

Seeing this, Universal also followed suit to cooperate with the TV station, to build a Universal amusement park, and finally reached out to the record industry.

As for Columbia and Fox, because they took the small and medium cost route, they did not earn much and lost little.

But once there is a box office bomb that cuts down a big tree with a small knife, it will be enough for them to support them for a few more years.

The best one at this time is Warner.

In the early 1950s, he simply threw himself into the embrace of the TV industry, and regarded film companies as content producers.

Not only did it survive the severe winter of the American film industry in the 1950s and 1960s, but it even qualified to marry a Boston consortium quietly.

It's a pity that the only one that can be like Warner is this one.

Vanity Fair, which was crazily ingesting profits and was lavished with money, has landed in the ground in only twenty years.

This made Americans who wanted to tie a chain to the lion, but didn't expect to strangle their poodle to death with too much force, had to acquiesce in the fact that the anti-monopoly law back then existed in name only.

Turn a blind eye, let the major Hollywood film companies, in the name of subsidiaries or holding companies, establish distribution companies again and again.

But after so many years, wanting to get back the theater chain with stable profits, not to mention that Americans themselves dare not let it go so openly.

The market has long been dominated by theater companies.

As long as you dare to come in, it is guaranteed that the theaters will unite to deal with that film company.

Moreover, after the market is lost, the rapid reduction of employees will inevitably lead to the reduction of good movies.

In addition, it is the nature of capital to seek profit. If you stop making money, no one will take care of you immediately.

Had it not been for the oil crisis, the U.S. economy would have declined rapidly in the 1970s.

Unemployment, bankruptcy, and a large decrease in income have made American films, which are naturally inversely profitable with the economy, once again enjoy a golden decade of greatly increased profits.

As for the reason, it is very simple. When Americans have no money, they will naturally try to reduce the amount of entertainment that costs a lot.

Then, apart from fitness and outdoor sports, movies that cost $2 to $4 have become the cheapest entertainment.

Then money naturally began to favor its Hollywood.

If there is a market and funds, talents will go to this industry by themselves.

This strange economic model will be clearly and clearly reflected in the annual box office increase when an economic crisis occurs in the future.

Li Changheng, who decided to give up Michael Enzyme and buy Lianmei, asked Roberts again for a folder containing copies.

Go directly to the snack shop next to the internal parking lot.

A dozen or so middle-aged Westerners immediately stood up with different expressions.

Then they all brightened their eyes and looked respectfully at the person who walked over. It is rumored that his net worth has exceeded 2 billion.

With the cash in his hand, he could easily buy Michael and Lianmei, who are distinguished and foresighted super bosses.

The media in Washington broke the news that Henry Lee actually made a movie by himself, and only bought 11 theaters in London, Hong Kong and Kowloon, after spending 50 million US dollars.

In an instant, the entire Hollywood was shaken.

Michael's people only spent two days collecting information, and the boss personally led the team. Half of the top management flew to London, hoping to have a talk with Li Changheng to confirm whether the news was true or not.

Then the people from United Artists followed suit to London without any surprises.

"Who is from United Artists?"

As soon as these words came out, the United Artists immediately showed disappointment on their faces.

But before Mikozyme’s people were happy for a few seconds, Li Changheng said to the people of United Artists, “45 million wholly-owned acquisition is no problem, but I don’t assume any debt.

If you think there is no problem, you can discuss a formal contract with my lawyer team. "

The Lianmei people looked at me and I saw you hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, "SIR, what about us?"
