  Film is indeed a century-old entertainment industry, and its influence is more ingrained than video games.

   It was only a few days before the film's traditional characters seemed to have the upper hand.

   They voiced their voices from various media and channels, resolutely resisting Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's behavior that undermined the balance of the film.

   Unless Take Yuxing takes the initiative to apologize and give up controlling the director's behavior, he will not even want to log in to the American theater.

   With the connections of these people, it is still very easy to prevent a company with little influence from releasing a movie.

   However, it’s not that no one came out to scold these filmmakers with a certain status.

   It’s just that these people are young.

   They are a generation of gamers who were trained by Zhu Yuxing, but they are generally just approaching 20 years old.

   Such an age is not enough to form its own influence in society, but it will be regarded by the mainstream as a symbol of rebellion.

   Such a group of people seems to be useless no matter how hard they try, and cannot 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 nearly 50 years in the previous life, is also difficult to compare 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 have to seek recognition from traditional industries such as the Olympic Games, and want to be truly recognized by the mainstream of society.

   But the fact that video games were born should be completely different.

   On an interview program, a well-known filmmaker once again stood up and criticized.

"This person named Zhu Yuxing has meddled in other industries and usurped all the director's rights, which is really a trampling on the film industry. I think everyone should boycott such a person, and you see, video games seem to have been born from the beginning. In this way, they use very domineering behavior to seize the market, completely disregarding any consequences, I even think that there is some kind of toxicity hidden in video games, which makes people crazy, but movies are different, movies are often full of art, yes Works that lift people from the soul are not comparable to entertainment products that are only a few years old."

   These words are very offensive when they are shown in the interview program, and they are still very direct to belittle video games, and at the same time, they also promote the film industry.

   This Bamboo Youxing couldn't bear it anymore.

It’s nothing to be accused of being rejected for the film that he supervised. After all, he really isn’t from this industry. He just wants to recreate the scene from the Final Fantasy 7 movie in his previous life. He wants people in this world to have a good experience with him. The cultural charm of that world.

   If people in this world don't recognize their own movies, that's fine.

   But you guy directly demeans video games and elevates his industry. This is absolutely unacceptable.

   Take Yuxing recognizes movies very much, and there are countless classic movies in his memory that he revisits every year, among which there are indeed many excellent works.

   But this is an entertainment product after all. If the film does not have the foundation to entertain the public, and it elevates itself to the artistic level from the beginning, the industry will be dead long ago.

   The same goes for moving this to other cultural industries.

   Some of them are really pursuing artistry and more elegant things, but it is those entertainment things that support the entire industry.

  Without the birth of industrialized Hollywood, it is estimated that movies are only marginal and unpopular entertainment products, and will only be 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 under the premise of making the industry stable.

   is like cultivating scientists with the power of the whole country.

   Among the thousand scientists trained by the country, only one may be the most talented one, and the others can only be accompanied, but if the thousand scientists are not cultivated, this one may never be born.

A guy like    is completely standing and talking without back pain.

   This is very similar to the managers of several TV stations in Japan. They were stubborn and insisted on some meaningless things. In fact, they were actually driven by interests behind them.

   This kind of person is not very elegant in itself.

   At this moment, some influential media and magazines are also vigorously promoting this point, it seems that they intend to lower the status of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment from the beginning.

   These magazines also have the shadow of the film industry, and they are all magazines and periodicals of some companies under the film industry.

If a leading company in the industry like Youxing Electronic Entertainment is crushed because of this, it means that the industry is definitely not good. Everyone should not pay attention to this thing. Our movies are much more interesting and connotative than this, Duo Duo Put your money in us.

   In fact, they are very cunning and deceitful in their hearts.

   This time, Zhu Yuxing was not polite either.

   He will not directly attack a certain industry, but there will always be a group of stinky fish and rotten shrimp in some industries, and these guys Zhu Yuxing need not be too polite.

   Talk about influence? I'm afraid you film people haven't seen the real Internet age yet?

   Now this is where facebook comes into play.

  Facebook's CEO Bob was still sleeping at night.

   Now his life is very nourishing. He is the darling of capital and the object of admiration of countless young people. Countless people want to join his company.

   has now become a super Internet social giant with more than 300 million registered users worldwide.

   As long as there are no surprises, such a social enterprise will become an absolute hegemon, just like Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Now, no one can underestimate Bob, he also has his own personality, even when facing the President of the United States, he can be calm.

   Last time he even had a chance to have dinner with the president and be a guest.

   However, just in the middle of the night, the phone rang.

   Bob was very upset when he heard the phone call in the middle of the night.

   But he still glanced at the phone beside the bed.

   "Bob, you really are, just turn off the phone when you are with me, and you will be woken up at such a big night!"

   Beside Bob is a young and beautiful woman.

  Bob is not as cold as the robot-faced Mark in his previous life. Instead, he is an enthusiastic guy with a technical home.

  Especially after he became famous, he was even more inattentive in this regard.

   But this is not a big problem, a CEO like him has this privilege for a long time, and no one will think there is anything wrong with it.

  Bob ignored the woman beside him, but immediately picked up his mobile phone and answered the phone with a very respectful look. At the same time, he told the woman beside him to shut up quickly so as not to disturb his call.

   "Hello, Mr. Takeyou?"

   Bob's tone is very formal, which is completely different from his usual casual look.

  Because Zhuyouxing is his Bole, and he is also his original investor, and more importantly, Zhuyouxing is also a provider of countless ideas.

   Take Yuxing has never actively participated in any management of social networks.

   But Zhu Yuxing has many social methods from later generations in his mind.

   Like what social squares, emotion tags, emojis, microblogging and twitter patterns, and many, many advanced social concepts simply overwhelm Bob.

   He even thought that if Zhu Yuxing did not make video games, but created a social network by himself, Bob would easily be beaten by Zhu Yuxing without any slag.

  The reason why social networks are popular is that there are countless fresh tricks, so that every user has a sense of freshness all the time, and even addicted to it.

   This is also the biggest reason why his Facebook can grow into a giant.

  Without Zhu Yuxing, Bob's social network would not have developed as it is now.

   So no matter from what level, Zhu Yuxing is someone he needs to respect 100%, not even the President of the United States.

   Once Bob thought that the person he admired the most should be a well-known programmer, because it fits his geek status.

   But then he realized that he was wrong. People like Zhu Yuxing were the ones he should admire the most. How such a person's brain looks is very puzzling, and the endless creativity seems to be never exhausted.

   This is the case in my own industry, and it is also constantly shining in other industries.

   "Sorry for disturbing you Bob so late, but I do have something I want you to know as soon as possible."

   "It's alright, I'll be waiting for your call from Mr. Zhuyou at any time. If you have anything, feel free to ask me."

"That's good."

   Zhu Youxing said slowly, "How is the video section of your social network doing now?"

   "A video section? You mean a section for online film and television videos?"

   "That's right."

   "Now we can only ensure the balance of payments, the number of registrations has never increased, and the monthly paying users are still the same."

   Zhu Yuxing said: "What if I add fire to your forum?"

   "Add fire to my section?"

   Bob was taken aback.

   He still didn't quite understand what was going on.

   "I'm supervising the production of a movie recently, you should know this?"

"Of course I know that." Bob nodded, then said with a somewhat indignant expression, "Mr. Zhuyou, those rigid filmmakers are really hateful, and I'm actually considering whether to use my influence to make these guys nice."

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "That's not necessary, there is no way to stop the mouths of this group of people in some sideways ways, the best way to slap the face is to get hammered in their own industry, so I thought of the time when I For your proposed subscription-based video section."

   About a year ago, Take Yuxing suddenly thought of the Netflix model.

   Netflix is ​​also a fairly legendary company.

   used to be just a very small video rental shop.

   But in the end, it can grow into a giant in the subscription video industry under the forward-looking eyes again and again, and even shake the entire film industry in the end.

Even if the entire traditional film industry tried its best to resist the so-called streaming media subscription system at the beginning, but in the end, the capital of these so-called artists still fell under the subscription system, and they joined the streaming media industry one after another with rather disgusting honesty and integrity, and seized from it. their respective markets.

  Bamboo Youxing also felt that this seemed to be a good time more than a year ago, so he suggested to Bob the plan of a streaming media subscription video platform.

   In fact, it is not just a video subscription system. Zhu Youxing thinks that sooner or later, he will also make a subscription system for video games, but now is not the time. The current video game industrialization is not mature enough, and we have to wait.

   But film and television dramas are already very mature, and you can start playing the subscription system.

  Bob just happens to be a trendsetter in the Internet. He still has a lot of money to squander. This subscription system is a very good expansion point.

   As for the subscription system, Bob did not feel much. At that time, he was still thinking about how to expand his social platform. How can hundreds of millions of users be enough? His goal is to use his own social network all over the world, at least one billion to start.

However, this was Zhu Yuxing's suggestion, and it didn't sound like it would cost much, so he followed Zhu Yuxing's instructions to increase the division of the subscription video platform, and let some guys who are enthusiastic about it do it themselves. With money to study, he has no time to manage these.

   At first, he thought that this thing would burn a lot of money, and there might not be any money back in three or five years.

   But what I didn’t expect is that in just one year, the video section platform can now break even.

   However, it is only a balance of payments, and if you want to expand the number of users, it seems to have encountered a bottleneck.

   Obviously, more people still want to have physical film and television works, rather than spend more money on this illusory subscription platform.

  As long as you don’t subscribe, then everything will no longer belong to you. This is not particularly suitable for the concept of most people now, they still prefer things that are actually in their hands.

   In Zhu Yuxing’s view, this is actually the lack of some explosive points that can motivate these users to pay.

   This kind of explosion point may come from a certain blockbuster movie, or it may come from a sudden change in people's ideas in a certain period.

  The former Take Yusei has already thought of it, and that 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 a sunset that is constantly going downhill, and the last few years can only be regarded as the glory of the last few years at most.

   When streaming media really grows up, although movie theaters will still have influence, they will definitely not be mainstream anymore.

   Before Zhuyouxing crossed, the movie theater had not declined, but it was already very obvious that it was going downhill.

  Especially in the context of the pandemic in the previous life, it further exacerbated the decline of traditional movie theaters.

   At that time, Take Yuxing thought that the movie theater should become history completely within ten years.

   Then, it is also possible to come to this world and arrange the following in advance.
