The Director of Music Department

"Director Wang, thank you, and thank Director Wang for coming to join us!" Zhao Dongming's face bloomed with a smile.

Wang Yifan's ability to come is itself a pretty good signal for Zhao Dongming.

What's more, Zhao Dongming still wants to find Wang Yifan for cooperation.

Wang Yifan didn't care about Zhao Dongming's enthusiasm, and didn't think too much.

In itself, his ability to come is also to give the face of Ali Media's overseas channels. After all, Wang Yifan's movies are released overseas, and he has to rely on Ali Media's channels to some extent.

Although in terms of distribution, several Hollywood giants will take over, it does not mean that Huaxin and Wang Yifan will completely let go. There is always one more choice, which is more insurance than just one choice.

"Mr. Zhao is polite. How did Director Yang say that he is also the director planned by the New Star Director. I naturally hope that the New Star Director program can really produce a great director." Wang Yifan looked at Yang Qing and said with a smile.

Yang Qing looked a little excited, holding Wang Yifan's hand in both hands, and said: "It's my honor that Director Wang can come!"

"It's not, it's not!" Wang Yifan smiled and shook his head.

After the courtesy, Yang Qing went to greet the other guests, but to Wang Yifan's surprise, Zhao Dongming sat down with Wang Yifan.

"Mr. Zhao, is something wrong?" Wang Yifan doesn't know, Zhao Dongming is obviously something wrong, otherwise, although Zhao Dongming is at the helm of Ari Media at any rate, there are some guests who need him to greet him.

Why would you stay with yourself? Then there must be something.

"Director Wang, actually speaking, the competition between our Ali Media and Huaxin has always been a healthy competition, and Ali Media has never used any means outside of the rules against Huaxin. I believe that Director Wang should be watching this. See you?" Zhao Dongming said to Wang Yifan with a smile.

Wang Yifan also smiled and said, "Of course, competition. Everyone is the leader. Only when there is competition, progress can be made. This is a good thing."

In fact, it's not that Ari Media doesn't want to engage in foreign recruitment, but a company at the level of Huaxin and Ari Media. Even if Ari Media wants to engage in foreign recruitment, it will be difficult.

Therefore, although the two companies are known as the strongest competitors, in fact, the competition between the two companies has always been a normal business category.

This, Zhao Dongming is not talking nonsense.

On the contrary, Ari Media and several other giants have a stronger smell of gunpowder. In particular, Time Light and Shadow can be said to hate Ari Media.

Some of the earlier cooperation was also suspended because of Cao Meng's affairs.

"Actually, Ali Media's current main strategy is still overseas. Director Wang should also know that Ali Media has invested more than 5 billion U.S. dollars in Hollywood." Zhao Dongming was quite satisfied with Wang Yifan's answer and continued.

Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Ari Media's great work is amazing!"

Zhao Dongming added: "Unfortunately, Hollywood has always been a place for foreigners. It is also difficult for us Ari Media to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Several giants seem to be passers-by, and even our Ari Media acquired the Imperial Cinemas. When working with Alliance Pictures, Matsumoto Universal and Mina Group both supported it, but in fact, they have never given up overly and secretly rejecting Ari Media."

"Oh? I'm really not very clear about this." Wang Yifan pretended to be ignorant.

In fact, this was already in his expectation.

After all, it is impossible for others to snore on the side of the couch. Not to mention that North American officials cannot allow Chinese capital such as Ari Media to control the film industry chain in North America with public opinion companies. They are just a few major media giants. On the other hand, even if it is for profit alone, they will never allow Ari Media to become the seventh largest.

Therefore, the suppression is affirmative.

As for why they would instead support the acquisition of Ari Media before this?

The answer couldn't be simpler. Cinemas can be said to be a real sunset industry in North America, and the same is true for several major film and television giants.

And if it is the other giants in Hollywood who want to annex the theater, then they may also stop it to prevent the other party from becoming bigger and affecting their own basic market.

But for them, Ari Media was really taken advantage of.

Can the Empire Cinemas be worth such a high price?

And Ali Media is rich, but you must know that Hollywood even dares to swindle the money of Wall Street bigwigs, so they really don't put Ali Media too much in their eyes.

Nothing else, because the North American film and television industry structure has already been solidified.

Because today's major North American giants, in fact, are backed by media giants, rather than pure film and television groups.

They will never allow new disruptors to appear. What about the DreamWorks in the previous life?

In the end, it was not directly divided by the frog boiled in warm water.

But these words, Wang Yifan will definitely not say to Zhao Dongming, after all, everyone is not that familiar, and even if Zhao Dongming listens, Ari Media will not give up easily.

After all, as he said, Ari Media has invested more than five billion dollars in the layout, and it is impossible to give up so easily.

"Let me give you an example, MPAA, should Director Wang know?" Zhao Dongming asked.

Wang Yifan nodded.

MPAA Film Association of America!

The rating system of the United States, which is respected by many cents and by many domestic literary directors, is determined by this agency.

It is equivalent to the domestic shears department.

What's interesting is that MPAA seems to be a functional department, but in fact, it is a big killer in the hands of the six giants in Hollywood.

It can be said that such things as ratings are impossible to be accurate by themselves.

It all depends on the opinions of the judges.

The highest committee of the MPAA is actually the six members.

In fact, people often confuse a lot of things. For example, the Federal Reserve, in the eyes of many people, this should be an institution equivalent to the Central Bank of China.

But in fact, this thing is actually a joint-stock company.

Standing behind are several major capital consortia of the United States.

It is not truly state-owned.

Can you imagine? This is the case for the Fed, let alone a film rating agency like MPAA.

"Dimeng Pictures already has a large-scale distribution channel in North America. Because we have reduced the distribution share, many independent films will take the initiative to come to the door for distribution!" Zhao Dongming said.

Wang Yifan is noncommittal, thinking about it, and knowing that although independent films have never been mainstream in North America, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat.

Ari Media’s lower distribution share is indeed a good channel for these independent films, but it has moved the six major cakes of Hollywood.

It's for sure to be embarrassed.

"As a result, the good times did not last long, and several independent films were directly rated as NC-17 when they were rated!"

Zhao Dongming smiled bitterly.
