Movies are indeed an entertainment industry with a century-old history, and their influence is more deeply rooted than video games.
In just a few days, the traditional characters of the film seemed to have the upper hand.
They spoke out from various media and channels to resolutely resist Youxing Electronic Entertainment’s behavior that undermines the balance of the film.
Unless Zhu Yuxing takes the initiative to apologize and gives up controlling the director's behavior, there is no way he can even get into American theaters.
With the connections of these people, it is very easy to prevent a company with little influence from releasing a movie.
However, it’s not like no one came out to quarrel with these filmmakers who have a certain status.
It's just that these people are very young.
They are a generation of gamers trained by Zhuyouxing, but they are generally in their early twenties.
Such an age is not enough to form one's own influence in society, but it will be considered by the mainstream as a symbol of rebellion.
No matter how hard a group of people like this try, it seems to be in vain and they are unable to form their own social influence at all.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. Even the video game industry, which has a history of almost fifty years in its previous life, is also difficult to compete with the influence of other entertainment industries.
Not even if the video game market itself has surpassed many entertainment industries.
In the end, video games will have to seek a sense of identity from traditional industries such as the Olympic Games, and want to be truly recognized by the mainstream of society.
But in fact the birth of video games should be completely different.
On an interview program, a well-known filmmaker once again stood up and made accusations.
"This person named Zhu Yuxing has interfered in other industries and usurped all the rights of directors. It is really trampling on the film industry. I think everyone should boycott such people. And you see, video games seem to have been a
In this way, they use very domineering behavior to seize the market without any regard for any consequences. I even think that video games have some kind of hidden toxicity that makes people go crazy because of it. But movies are different. Movies are often full of artistry.
Works that can sublimate people's soul cannot be compared to entertainment products that are only a few years old."
These words were very offensive when shown in an interview program, and they were also very direct in belittling video games and at the same time exalting the film industry.
This Zhu Youxing can't bear it anymore.
It doesn’t matter that the movie he supervised was rejected and criticized. After all, he is not from this industry. He just wants to recreate the scene from the Final Fantasy 7 movie in his previous life and let people in this world experience it.
The cultural charm of his world.
If people in this world don't approve of your movie, then forget it.
But you guys directly belittle video games and elevate your own industry. This is absolutely unacceptable.
Zhu Youxing recognizes movies very much, and there are countless classic movies in his memory that he revisits every year. There are indeed many excellent works among them.
But this is an entertainment product after all. If movies did not have the basis of entertaining the public and elevated themselves to the level of art from the beginning, then this industry would have died long ago.
The same applies to other cultural industries.
Some of them are really pursuing artistry and more elegant things, but what supports the entire industry should be those entertainment things.
Without the birth of industrialized Hollywood, movies would probably still be marginal and unpopular entertainment products, ruthlessly ridiculed by sideshows and dramas.
Video games are actually the same.
Zhuyouxing has always been committed to cultivating the industrial manufacturing system of the entire industry, because only the industrial manufacturing system can cultivate a group of creative people while stabilizing the industry.
It's like a nationwide effort to train scientists.
Out of a thousand scientists trained by the country, only one may be the most talented, and the others can only run along. But if those thousand scientists are not trained, this one may never be born.
Such a guy can stand and talk without any pain in his back.
This is very similar to the managers of several Japanese TV stations in the past. They were stubborn and insisted on some meaningless things. In fact, they were actually driven by interests behind them.
This kind of person himself is far from elegant.
At this moment, some influential media magazines are also vigorously promoting this point, seemingly intending to lower the status of Youxing Electronic Entertainment from the beginning.
These magazines also have a shadow of the film industry, and they are all magazines and periodicals of some companies under the film industry.
If an industry-leading company like Youxing Electronic Entertainment is crushed because of this, it means that this industry is definitely not good. You should not pay attention to this thing. Our movies are much more interesting and connotative than this. There are many more
Put your money in us.
In fact, they are very cunning and cunning in their hearts.
This time Zhu Youxing was not polite.
He will not directly attack a certain industry, but there will always be a group of bad guys in certain industries. Zhu Youxing doesn't need to be too polite about this group of guys.
Talking about influence? I’m afraid you filmmakers haven’t seen the real Internet era yet, right?
Now this is when Facebook comes into play.
Facebook CEO Bob was still asleep at night.
Now he leads a very prosperous life. He is the darling of capital and the admiration of countless young people. Countless people want to join his company.
It has now become a super Internet social giant with more than 300 million registered users worldwide.
As long as there are no surprises, this kind of social enterprise will become an absolute overlord, just like Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
Nowadays, no one can underestimate Bob. He has also gained his own status, and he can be calm and composed even when facing the President of the United States.
Last time he even had the opportunity to have dinner with the president and become a guest.
However, just in the middle of the night, the phone rang.
Bob was very irritated when he heard the phone call in the middle of the night.
But he still glanced at the mobile phone beside the bed.
"Bob, you really turn off your phone when you are with me, and you still have to be woken up at such a late night!"
Next to Bob is a young and beautiful woman.
Bob is not as frigid as the robot-faced Mark in his previous life. Instead, he is a passionate and unrestrained guy who is a tech geek.
Especially after he became famous, he became even more careless in this regard.
But this is not a big problem. A CEO like him has already had this privilege, and no one will think there is anything wrong with it.
Bob ignored the woman next to him, but immediately cheered up and picked up the phone, and answered the call with a very respectful expression. At the same time, he told the woman next to him to shut up and not disturb him on the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Takeyu?"
Bob's tone was very formal, which was completely different from his usual casual look.
Because Zhu Youxing is his boss and his initial investor. More importantly, Zhu Youxing is also the provider of countless creative ideas.
Zhuyouxing has never actively participated in any management of social networks.
But Zhu Youxing has many social methods from later generations in his mind.
Such as social squares, emotional tags, emoticons, Weibo and Twitter models, as well as many advanced social concepts, Bob is overwhelmed.
He even felt that if Zhu Youxing did not make video games, but created a social network himself, Bob would be easily beaten by Zhu Youxing to the point where nothing was left.
The reason why social networks are popular is that they have countless fresh tricks, so that every user has a sense of freshness all the time, and even becomes addicted to it.
This is also the biggest reason why Facebook can grow into a giant.
Without Zhuyouxing, Bob's social network would not have developed to what it is now.
So no matter what level you look at, Zhu Yuxing is someone he needs to respect 100%, even if he is the president of the United States.
Bob once thought that the person he admired most should be a well-known programmer, because it fit his geek status very well.
But later he realized that he was wrong. People like Zhu Youxing were the ones he should admire the most. How the brains of such people grew was very puzzling, and the endless creativity seemed to be endless.
This is true in our own industry, and it continues to shine in other industries as well.
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late Bob, but I do have something I want you to know as soon as possible."
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm always waiting for your call, Mr. Zhuyou. If you need anything, just come to me."
"That's good."
Zhu Youxing slowly said: "How is the video section of your social network running now?"
"Video section? You mean the online film and television video section?"
"That's right."
"Right now, we can only guarantee a balance of payments, the number of registered users has never been able to grow, and the number of monthly paying users is still the same."
Zhu Youxing said: "Then what if I add fuel to your forum?"
"Add fuel to my forum?"
Bob was stunned.
He still didn't quite understand what was going on.
"I'm supervising the production of a movie recently. You should know this, right?"
"Of course I know this." Bob nodded, and then said with a somewhat indignant expression, "Mr. Zhuyou, those rigid filmmakers are really hateful. I am actually considering whether to use my influence to let these guys
nice."
Zhu Youxing shook his head: "That's not necessary. There is no way to silence these people with some heretical methods. The best way to slap them in the face is to be blasted in their own industry, so I thought of what I once did
I’m going to propose a subscription-based video section to you.”
About a year ago, Zhu Youxing suddenly thought of the Netflix model.
Netflix is also a company with quite a legendary factor.
It used to be just a very small video rental store.
But in the end, it was able to grow into a giant in the subscription video industry through forward-looking vision, and in the end it even shook the entire film industry.
Even though the entire traditional film industry tried its best to resist the so-called streaming media subscription system at the beginning, in the end the capital above these so-called artists still succumbed to the subscription system, and one by one with considerable integrity joined the streaming media industry to seize the opportunity.
respective markets.
More than a year ago, Zhu Youxing also felt that this seemed to be a good time, so he suggested to Bob the plan of a streaming subscription video platform.
In fact, it is not just a video subscription system. Zhuyouxing believes that sooner or later he will also develop a video game subscription system, but now is not the time. The current industrialization of video games is not mature enough, so we have to wait.
However, film and television dramas are already very mature, and subscription systems can be started.
Bob happens to be a trendsetter on the Internet, and he still has a lot of money to spend. This subscription system is a very good expansion point.
As for the subscription system, Bob didn't have much feeling. At that time, he was still thinking about how to make his social platform bigger. How could hundreds of millions of users be enough? His goal was to use his social network all over the world.
, at least it would take a billion to start.
But this was Zhu Youxing's suggestion, and it didn't sound like it would cost much. He followed Zhu Youxing's instructions to add a department for the subscription-based video platform, and asked some guys who were enthusiastic about it to do it themselves.
He doesn't have time to care about this when he has money to study.
At first, he thought that this thing would cost a lot of money, and he might not have the money to turn it back in three to five years.
But what I didn’t expect was that in just one year, the video platform could now break even.
However, it has only just broken even, and it seems that it has encountered a bottleneck if it wants to expand the number of users.
Obviously, more people still want to own physical film and television works, and do not want to spend more money on this illusory subscription platform.
As long as you don't subscribe, then everything no longer belongs to you. This is not a concept that is particularly suitable for most people nowadays. They still prefer things that are actually in their hands.
In Zhuyouxing's view, this is actually the lack of some explosive points that can inspire these users to pay.
This explosive point may come from a certain hit movie, or it may come from a sudden change in people's concepts in a certain period.
The former Takeyusei has already thought of it, which is the movie version of Final Fantasy 7.
Since your traditional film channels refuse to cooperate, then I don’t need to play with you at all. You are the sunset that continues to decline. The last few years can only be regarded as the last few years of glory at best.
When streaming media truly develops, although movie theaters will still be influential, they will definitely no longer be mainstream.
Before Bamboo Traveling Star traveled through time, cinemas had not yet declined, but their decline was already very obvious.
Especially in the context of previous major epidemics, the decline of traditional cinemas has been further aggravated.
At that time, Zhu Yuxing believed that it would be only ten years before movie theaters became history.
Then, it is okay to come to this world and plan the following in advance.
