Chapter 176: Alliance Crisis(2/2)
Hollywood's monopoly position was overthrown, but it was just a re-entering of the Warring States era. This at most means that all film companies are standing on a horizontal line again, and it is still a competitive situation.
Hollywood was overthrown just to say that they had a hope of exploring, and that's all.
Compared with long-term and unknown results, if Hollywood tells them that they can cooperate and allow their films to enter the US market smoothly, what reason do they have to fight against Hollywood to the death and give up their immediate vested interests?
Facing the delicious food delivered to Hollywood, there are naturally some people who are shaken.
During that time, Xiao Qiang traveled back and forth in Europe every day, lobbying his allies to insist on it. What is the principle of "the dog is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden all over the bow is hidden, he has to say more than ten times a day.
In the end, his lips were cracked, and there was still a British company that couldn't stand the temptation to cooperate with Hollywood.
Xiao Qiang was very angry. The situation in the world is very good now, and it will be better in the future. It would be even more difficult if the allies betrayed and formed a domino effect, and then they wanted to form an alliance against Hollywood.
But he did not show his anger in front of the other side. Instead, he suppressed his anger and thought about countermeasures.
He thought about it and knew that things could not be done, so he immediately gave up convincing the other party.
He decided to change his role, stand on the other party's standpoint, analyze the pros and cons of cooperation. He also advised him that cooperation is OK, but to win the right to issue globally. With this issuer, their cooperation can be considered meaningful. Otherwise, it would be just a wedding dress for others.
The British company agrees deeply.
They raised the global issuance rights to Hollywood as bargaining chips.
As soon as Xiao Qiang left the British company, he convened an emergency meeting of the alliance, and the meeting made the matter of the British company's possible withdrawal from the alliance.
It can be said that the meeting fell into chaos immediately.
All local companies, including other British film companies, are angrily accusing the company of its treason. Many companies have stated that they will launch domestic theaters to boycott all the films of that company. Let it pay the price. The gain is not worth the loss.
Xiao Qiang clearly saw at the meeting that many people were flickering in the eyes of these indignant film company representatives. Obviously, they were also envious of the treatment received by the British film company.
This is not surprising at all.
On the surface, although every company seemed to be indignant, Xiao Qiang knew very well that as soon as the meeting ended, more film companies would lose to Hollywood in private to get a piece of cake.
As more and more things experienced, Xiao Qiang became more and more mature, and he gradually became less happy and angry.
He was calm, allowing him to put aside some emotional fluctuations and analyze the problem more rationally. He had already made some judgments on this result and had also made countermeasures.
Xiao Qiang quietly waited for the performance of these alliance members to finish. Then he said lightly: In fact, it is not impossible to cooperate with Hollywood. Anyone who says confrontation cannot cooperate, but cooperation must also choose cooperation that is beneficial to us, right?"
His group has been described to most people.
There is no essential difference between businessmen and alliances and cooperation with Hollywood. The key is to see which party gets more benefits.
As soon as Xiao Qiang finished speaking, several tough film companies were still in Eran, and those film companies with unstable positions began to agree loudly. They all said that even if they wanted to cooperate with Hollywood, they should strive for the greatest benefit.
In between conversations, cooperation with Hollywood became established facts, which made those tough film companies extremely angry.
Xiao Qiang was at the meeting. Analyzing what terms are the most important to every film company and must not be given up. By the end of the meeting, most film companies believe that obtaining global distribution rights is an indispensable part.
With the global distribution rights, they can only release their own and Hollywood-produced videos outside their home country, and only then can they gain benefits.
Otherwise, even if they cooperate, their videos will be released in their own country. What's the difference from before?
Xiao Qiang happily discussed with those companies how to fight for the best interests and evolved a response strategy meeting into a spoils of how to fight for the benefits of Hollywood.
All the hardliners sat expressionlessly on the chair, without saying a word, expressing disappointment and protest with silence.
Xiao Qiang silently kept these companies in his heart.
At the end of the meeting, those film companies felt that they had gained recognition from the league and found reasons to cooperate with Hollywood, and left excitedly. Xiao Qiang immediately invited those tough film companies representatives to come back.
"What do you think about working with Hollywood?" Xiao Qiang came up and got straight to the point.
These company representatives looked at Xiao Qiang in surprise.
Working with Hollywood means fighting against the Hollywood League and officially going bankrupt. What questions do you have? As for how they think, is this still important? At the meeting, you have already taken the lead in expressing your willingness to cooperate with Hollywood. Now ask us, what is the point?
Xiao Qiang asked knowingly, did he have other intentions?
The hardliners who stayed were silent for a while, and a representative from a French film company said: "Mr. Xiao. Did you say this on purpose just now, in order to clear out the unstable elements in the alliance?"
All the representatives of the land nodded and looked at Xiao Qiang.
Another French film company representative said worriedly: "Mr. Xiao, although you are like this, it has purified our alliance. However, it has also weakened our strength. Hollywood is much stronger than us. Even if film companies around the world unite, we need to work hard to overthrow their rule. Now, with so many European film companies turning against us, our situation will be more strict."
"Not bad!" A representative of a German film company also spoke immediately. "I think Mr. Xiao's idea is good, but the consequences are serious. The film companies that are preparing to cooperate with Hollywood include all our countries. We now rely on the quota system to resist the erosion of Hollywood. Now, as soon as these companies join, even if they just have a name, Hollywood can enter our market openly in the name of cooperative film places. In this way, we will not even have the last place to survive!"
"That's right! Those short-sighted guys are seeking death and think they have found a backer!"
"Nothing wrong! We must not let it go!
"Mr. Xiao, you made a wrong decision, which will make us lose our last position of resistance!"
...
The anger that had just been suppressed in their hearts has now erupted. Facing Xiao Qiang, they made collective roars.
Xiao Qiang was very satisfied. In an alliance, there were always firms and fenceists. Through a crisis, he realized the true allies within the alliance. Their value was more than anything else.
He made a gesture and asked everyone to listen to his speech.
"For those film companies that want to turn to Hollywood, even if we stop them toughly this time, we cannot dispel the little abacus in their hearts." Xiao Qiang said this helpless fact that everyone knew. He looked around and continued to speak, "According to a mechanics perspective, the greater the pressure applied, the greater the rebound force will be attracted. Therefore, hard-strengthening into an alliance will only greatly weaken the centripetal force of our alliance and cause the alliance to collapse!"
Of course everyone knows this truth, but now there is one more person.
Moreover, Hollywood attacks their fatal weaknesses. Even if they know that they are taking tough measures and quenching their thirst, what other ways do they have?
Xiao Qiang looked at them helplessly, expressed his despair and laughed.
"Why are you so frustrated? As I said, putting pressure from our direction will make the centrifugal elements even more dissatisfied. But why can't we try to let Hollywood take the initiative to reject them, dispel the dreams of these unsolicited elements, and make them devote themselves to working hard for the alliance?"
Suddenly, a group of people stood up.
Now, Xiao Qiang's resourcefulness has long been recognized by the world. He is best at attacking unexpectedly, launching attacks on the weak points of the enemy's defense, and succeeding repeatedly.
Could it be that he has already made a countermeasure?
Chapter completed!
