The boss of Warner also gave Lin Xia a straightforward answer.
And this answer also let Lin Xia know why Warner's bosses were willing to let Boss Huang change jobs, and were even willing to let other singers in the company be poached by him.
It turned out that the boss of Warner had no intention of continuing with music at all.
When Lin Xia heard the Warner CEO say this, his first feeling was disbelief.
After all, Warner Bros. is still one of the top three companies in the world today.
Suddenly Lin Xia was not very prepared to make music, which really made Lin Xia feel a bit unimaginable.
However, what the Warner boss said next was indeed very sincere.
Because in recent times, it is said that it is the world's top three, but in fact, it has almost become a single company, and Universal Music has become the most powerful one.
So now Warner is looking for a breakthrough.
In terms of music, it has been crushed by Universal Entertainment, so it plans to become the most powerful company in the world in terms of movies and TV series.
So now Warner Entertainment is preparing to transform into movies and TV series.
After hearing this answer, Lin Xia finally understood why Warner's boss would choose to do this.
I know why Warner is willing to poach these singers.
The reason is also very simple, that is, I don’t want my singers to be poached by Universal Entertainment after my work focus shifts.
To put it bluntly, Warner today also hates Universal Entertainment very much.
Naturally, he wanted Lin Xia to suppress Universal Entertainment, so that he could develop movies and TV series with peace of mind.
This cooperation can be regarded as a mutually beneficial and win-win situation for both parties.
And Lin Xia also knows clearly that Warner's movies and TV series are indeed very powerful, because Warner is not only great in music, but also in movies and TV series.
In fact, Warner Bros. was also the boss before the rise of Disney, and the IP it holds cannot be underestimated.
The biggest one is DC.
DC here not only refers to the "DC Movie Universe", but also refers to the collective name including American TV series and other DC hero movies with independent world views.
First of all, it needs to be made clear that although the DC movie universe is not very well developed, the DC IP itself still has great potential. Thanks to the trend of comic book adaptations driven by its rival Marvel Universe, it has Superman, Batman, etc.
DC with veteran heroes is still very competitive.
But of course, in the final analysis, Warner Bros. still has to do a good job in quality control. Today's DC movies do not have a complete plan, which is a major flaw. As for what the future path will be, we still have to wait and see.
But no matter what, the potential of this IP itself is unquestionable.
The Wizarding World is a general term that includes series such as "Harry Potter" and "Fantastic Beasts".
It is currently the third largest film series (the first two are Marvel Universe and "Star Wars"), with a total box office of US$9.19 billion, and the IP value ranks 11th in the world, reaching about US$32 billion.
Warner has a big cash cow, and it was also Warner's number one trump card before the rise of comic-book hero movies. However, the "Harry Potter" series has long been completed, and the "Fantastic Beasts" series is about to enter its third installment. How to develop in the future is still
This is something Warner needs to consider.
Middle-earth is a collective name that includes series such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit".
Ranking 9th in the list of film series achievements, its achievements are even more unparalleled. The "Lord of the Rings" series alone is an insurmountable mountain in the Hollywood film industry.
But the problem with Middle-earth is that the filming of "The Lord of the Rings" is so good that subsequent works will be difficult to surpass, so there is basically no possibility of restarting or remaking it in the film field.
The latest information is that Warner will adapt it into an American TV series, which can be regarded as leveraging its value from another aspect. If Warner also plans to make Middle-earth into a movie, it can only make "The Silmarillion".
The Matrix is also a well-known old IP, and its popularity is also very high, but the series has long been completed.
However, Warner Bros. has already expressed the intention to restart the IP, and the project has already been approved. It remains to be seen whether this old IP can shine in the new era.
The IP of New Line Cinema, a subsidiary of Warner, Freddy, the most famous murderer in Hollywood in the last century, has been silent since the new century.
Although it was restarted in 2010, the response was not very good, so the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series has been shelved. Although many old horror films have been restarted in recent years, there has been no news about the latest "A Nightmare on Elm Street"
.
According to the latest reports, Warner Bros. plans to restart the "Dead Man" series instead of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in terms of horror films. It seems that it will take a while before Freddy can meet everyone on the screen.
The Return of the Clown is also a well-established horror film IP, but the series of "The Return of the Clown" is now much more popular than "A Nightmare on Elm Street". The box office performance of last year's "The Return of the Clown 2" was quite good, and it can be said that it is currently Warner Bros.
A leader in horror films.
Tom and Jerry, the copyright of "Tom and Jerry" originally belonged to MGM Pictures, but it has been acquired by Warner Bros. As a prestigious animation, "Tom and Jerry" is very popular, and Warner Bros. also
A live-action movie project has been approved, but the progress is not very fast at the moment, but you can still look forward to it.
The following introduction is not an IP owned by Warner Bros., but it still has a certain relationship with this film studio.
Since Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. currently have an in-depth cooperative relationship, Legend’s “Monster Movie Universe” is also distributed by Warner Bros., so it can barely be counted as half.
Secondly, since Legendary also owns another veteran horror film IP - "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", there is indeed the possibility of linking up with Warner's "A Nightmare on Elm Street" in the future.
In addition, the copyright for another horror film IP - "Friday the 13th" has not yet been secured. If Warner Bros. is willing, they can fight for it. After all, Jason, the evil ghost, has interacted with Leatherface and Freddy.
, can form a universe of murderous evil spirits.
Of course, these horoscopes are not complete, they are just some prospects.
In today's "IP era", this trick has become less and less popular. If you want to rely on the film to make a dark horse movie like "American Sniper" like in 2014 (this movie beat "Captain America" that year)
Waiting for the film to win the annual box office crown in North America) is basically impossible.
Looking at the IP that Warner currently has, the problem is that it is not developed enough. Since Middle-earth has been relegated to the field of TV series, it is basically impossible to put it on the big screen again, and the risk of making another movie is indeed very high; The Wizarding World
It is about to enter the third part; it is the only DC with the best development, but the quality control is very unstable.
But no matter what, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although Warner Brothers is not as good as Disney, judging from comprehensive indicators such as annual revenue reports, there is still no pressure to overwhelm the other three.
The cooperation negotiated with Warner CEO this time can be regarded as a way for each to get what they need.
And because of this recent period, Universal Entertainment’s global presence has become larger and larger.
And during this period, due to some operational problems, Warner's global reputation and the local influence of each company have become increasingly inferior to Universal Entertainment.
Today, Warner can be said to have begun to decline, and it is going faster and faster.
That's why Warner's boss couldn't wait to reach a cooperation with Lin Xia.
Nowadays, it can be said that Warner's reputation is getting worse than before.
Whether it is film shooting or songs, Warner is actually in trouble now.
The current series of cooperation with Lin Xia is a turnaround battle in Warner's eyes. Therefore, Warner attaches great importance to this cooperation with Lin Xia, so they have negotiated this series of conditions.
For Warner, it is now necessary to cooperate with Lin Xia Company in terms of song music.
Now Warner is very clear in its heart. Although it is said that after this cooperation with Lin Xia Company, it is very likely that Lin Xia Company's influence in the field of music will become greater and greater, and it may even succeed in
One of their major music companies was squeezed out.
In the future, there may even be a situation where Lin Xia Company becomes the dominant company.
But now, Warner has already thought that it would be a good idea for Lin Xia's company to become a dominant company in the future.
Perhaps in Warner's mind today, as long as Universal Entertainment can have the same fate as itself, then Warner can completely accept it.
After all, in this cooperation, in terms of music, Warner has given Lin Xia enough preferential treatment and good conditions. It can even be said that Warner has given up its position as the dominant music company on a global scale.
.
In exchange, they want Lin Xia's company to become a global music overlord, so that Universal Entertainment will end up in the same fate as them.
After all, for Warner, in terms of music, Warner is not the largest group in the first place.
Generally speaking, what they attach most importance to and value the most is movies.
But for Universal Entertainment, music is their most profitable business, so at this time, they would consider cooperating with Lin Xia Company to completely eliminate Universal Entertainment.
Only in this way can they become a true hegemon in the film industry.
In this case, Lin Xia and Lin Xia can achieve a win-win situation, and even step on Universal Entertainment. It can be said that the calculation in the mind of the Warner boss is clear at this time.
However, at this time, Lin Xia also knew very well that in this kind of business relationship, cooperation could only be temporary. Both parties cooperated because it was beneficial to the current situation.
Lin Xia does not really feel that Warner Group is his loyal partner because of the enthusiasm of Warner CEO at this time, but he is just doing what he needs at this time.
Lin Xia also knew very well in her heart what she should do.
That is nothing more than taking advantage of this cooperation to gain some benefits for yourself in a real sense.
This cooperation with Warner is actually a win-win situation in itself. After the win-win situation, Lin Xia doesn't know whether the cooperation between the two parties can continue.
But during this period of cooperation, I can naturally actively take action against some of Warner's outstanding singers and musicians.
As for China's domestic movies and TV series, I can also cooperate more with Warner.
Anyway, in Lin Xia's view, it is impossible for Warner to completely occupy the Chinese film and television market in a short period of time.
After all, in China, even if Warner produces many excellent TV series and movies, it is impossible for one company to dominate the film market.
All in all, I can gain more from this cooperation.
After discussing cooperation matters with Warner's boss, Lin Xia began to prepare for the qualifying competition for the promoted candidates.
After all, for Lin Xia today, the most important thing is for this show to truly come to an end.
Nowadays, the attention and popularity of this program on a global scale are quite exaggerated.
Nowadays, this program has also brought extremely high income to his company, which makes Lin Xia feel most happy.
There are actually many ways for variety shows to make money.
Especially for a particularly popular variety show, the income is extremely exaggerated. Now Lin Xia's show is almost the most popular and the most profitable show in the world.
And the income from each channel is very exaggerated.
For example, advertising revenue: Variety shows usually attract large audiences, so they are an ideal platform for advertisers. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to showcase their products or services on the show, which is the main source of income for variety shows.
.
There is also sponsorship income: many variety shows are funded by sponsors, which are usually brands or companies.
They may provide funding for the show in exchange for the opportunity to showcase their brand or product on the show.
Plus rights sales: The rights to variety shows are often sold to other TV stations or online platforms.
These sales can bring in significant revenue, especially for shows with international reach.
Nowadays, Lin Xia's copyright fees for this show can be said to be extremely profitable.
Because now, most countries around the world have purchased the rights to broadcast this program.
This fee alone is enough for Lin Xia to tap the top singers from Warner Entertainment Group.
