Hollywood isn't a city, so there's really no mayor. Earlier, the big Hollywood Fund was just a place name just outside Los Angeles.

So later, after the development of Hollywood, it even attracted the big conglomerates on Wall Street to come and invest in the increasing prosperity, but it was still not divided into a separate city.

But while there is no municipal government to manage it, especially in a place where there are so many movie stars, the slightest incident could make the front page of tomorrow's newspapers.

So later the government set up a separate management body here, and the head of this management body could not be regarded as the mayor, so it was called honorary mayor.

Compared with other mayors who usually have to deal with various civil documents, Hollywood's honorary mayors deal with only one thing, and that is the management of the Hollywood film and television industry.

So even if Hollywood is now a giant leader, Columbia, Fox, Disney, etc. are big rule makers, holding all kinds of resources and channels in their hands.

But as the official boss, Bieber has a lot of power. For example, he can influence the approval of a film, as well as the classification of some films.

At the same time, if there is anything, these big companies in Hollywood are also willing to give him face. So if Heiner can win his support, he can break the embarrassing situation of not being able to release the film alone.

Of course, befriending Bieber is just the beginning of shooting a big production alone, and filming a movie also requires a script, a star and a director. Even if it can be released after filming, it still needs theaters, not to mention all kinds of publicity investment before the release of the film.

Sometimes filming a movie with a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars, throwing one or two million dollars on the publicity channel is like playing, and the total shooting cost of a one-step movie in China is not even as high as the publicity cost of some films.

So it's not unreasonable for Hollywood movies to be a big hit, at least people are willing to spend money, so they make more money. In China, most of the ideas are to shoot a small-budget movie to see if it can become a hit, and make a lot of money. If it doesn't explode, it won't lose much anyway.

"Can't you come forward? You have to ask me to come forward? You must know that you are actually more suitable to deal with these Mi government officials. After all, if I get too close to him, he may be attacked by his own political enemies. Yang Dongxu said.

Joss understood that at present, there was no room for struggle in the record department of Haina, and he did not agree to assist others, so the current situation could only be so deadlocked.

This is still because he has easy-to-listen technology in his hands, and he also has a variety show to support him. Otherwise, none of the companies that the record giants have taken a fancy to have escaped the palm of their hands.

Therefore, since it is difficult to make a difference on the record side for the time being, the best choice now is to keep your advantage in variety shows and actively do the movie side.

Not to mention anything else, get a few masterpieces to make a name for yourself, at least let the audience know that Haina is still a film company. Otherwise, fans don't even know the name of your company, how can you establish a brand here?

But as he said, he was a bit inappropriate to be in contact with U.S. government officials as a Chinese. In fact, the hearts of the people of the United States are very contradictory, and this contradiction is also manifested in behavior.

For example, the government of the United States always likes to publicize the bad of China and shape the image of China as a poor and backward country. But the politicians of the United States seem to be very afraid of China from the bottom of their hearts.

It was big news that government officials accepted donations from foreigners and participated in some parliamentary elections. And in this big news, accepting the help of North Russia and China is an absolute front-page headline.

Even in this regard, the United States is even more afraid of Huaxia, not to mention that a government official has anything to do with Huaxia people. Even if you get some help from businessmen and Chinese, you can get the news for days.

"Bieber has accumulated a lot of resources in Hollywood, especially being very familiar with big stars, big directors and the media. So his next big plan is to run for Congress in Los Angeles. With the status of Los Angeles in the United States, he became a congressman in Los Angeles, and basically entered the US Congress with half a foot. Jos spoke.

"So what?" Yang Dongxu still didn't understand, after all, the more involved he was in politics, it would be counterproductive.

"Some members of Congress just want to make business gains for themselves through some convenience, and some are more like climbing up, such as becoming a member of the Senate, rather than just being a member of the House of Representatives.

But ordinary people, even people like Bieber who have stars and media resources and can shape their image among the people very well, it is not so simple to enter the Senate, he needs the support of big people.

So this support can only come from the high-level bigwigs of the United States, or the big chaebols, but not celebrities and the media, they have no right to decide. Joss said.

Yang Dongxu nodded, in the United States, personal image building media is an indispensable part, so you can see that various speeches during the presidential campaign are very reported.

But the media only has the right to report, and celebrities can also help build momentum, but they don't have the right to decide. Especially when the seats that Bieber wants are not popular representatives, the people above have a lot of power to decide.

"I heard that the big boss and the Kennedy family are very familiar?"

"There have been several business collaborations. ”

The current governor of California is Arnold Schwarzenegger, a former Hollywood star, and his wife is the niece of former President John F. Kennedy. Joss said.

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, Schwarzenegger naturally knew that after all, this tough guy was an international superstar. He also knew about the star governor, after all, he knew it before it was big news.

However, he really didn't know that his wife was from the Kennedy family, and he didn't pay much attention to it. Or rather, he had only paid attention to the Kennedy family whose surname was Kennedy, and was not very familiar with the other Kennedy relatives.

It's not news that a celebrity is a senator, mayor, governor, or even running for your presidency. Every year during the presidential campaign, there are always people of one kind or another who jump out and shout a few times.

But compared to those who are even big stars, in the political arena, they are basically thundering and raining, like a clown-like performance. Schwarzenegger is definitely the most accomplished of the stars after entering politics.

When he heard that Schwarzenegger had become the governor of an economically developed continent like California, he would only think that the people of the United States were fun, and the big stars could be governors.

But when he knew that his wife was the niece of the former president, the information here was extremely rich. Why did other celebrities just make a fuss, and Schwarzenegger became governor?

If you still say that they are all elected fairly and justly by the citizens of the United States, Yang Dongxu can only send you two: "Hehe!"

"I happened to meet with Mr. Kennedy recently to talk about something. Yang Dongxu said.

Jos nodded, and said that this was almost the end of the matter.

"Is there really no way on the record department? It's not that we don't have media resources at all, because of variety shows, we also have good friends with several TV stations, it seems that such a big thing as splashing dirty water is not the patent of those big companies, right?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"In a simple war of public opinion, although we do not have an advantage, we are not powerless to fight back. You also said that we have our own media in our hands, and we also have good friends with several major TV stations. Now the problem is the channels for the production and sale of records, and the second is piracy.

They occupy an absolute advantage in these channels, even if our records are very good, singers can become popular, but they don't make money when they release records. In addition, the stars who became popular were smeared, and they couldn't even receive commercial performances well.

This shows that we don't get a dime in return on our investment in artists. Once or twice is nothing, even if we have our own deep pockets, we don't care about this loss.

But celebrity artists themselves can't stand it, because they can't exchange their fame for big money in their pockets, a few people can persevere, and this is still a star artist, they are more realistic than ordinary people. ”

The company can lose, and the artist can't stand it. If the company pays to support these artists, the basic salary will definitely be fine. But they can't give them all kinds of benefits that match their reputation, after all, the company is still losing money and not making money, so this creates an endless loop.

Those big record companies also arrived at the dead end of the Haina Records Department, so they pinched and didn't let go as soon as they came up. Caught Jos off guard, or rather, he had already set out to deal with this dead end, but unfortunately his opponent didn't give him time.

"It's true that we are inferior to him in the distribution channel, but piracy ......" Yang Dongxu sneered, but then shook his head again: "Forget it, I didn't say this." ”

He is indeed an old expert in piracy, so since the other party can use piracy, his investment is not proportional to his return. Then he can take advantage of that too.

After all, piracy is also a headache for many record and film companies in the United States. Don't be deceived by some media saying that all kinds of news about intellectual property rights in the United States.

It's just that the United States has really done a good job in terms of property rights, especially in some patented technologies that can collect money. But this does not mean that there is no piracy in the United States, and even because Hollywood and English records sell well all over the world. Pirates are more rampant here than elsewhere.

But if you think about it carefully, he really can't use this trick if people can use it. Other people can use it because it is on their own territory, they can be sure that Yang Dongxu can't grasp his handle, even if he catches the lawsuit and drags it out for three or five years, it is not a difficult matter, anyway, you don't lack money for the lawsuit, and no one lacks it.

But if Yang Yao pirates, especially in Europe and the United States. That's taking the initiative to send a handle to others, and don't want to get out if you don't have a wave of blood when the time comes.

So for a while, Yang Dongxu suddenly had a feeling of depression that he hadn't had for a long time. He has been at ease in China and quietly investing abroad to make a lot of money, but he has not had this kind of helpless encounter for a long time.
