Jack said it right. At the moment when the TV industry was just emerging, the production process of TV programs and the equipment used were almost no different from movies. Therefore, Jack needed to prepare for hardware when he wanted to launch the movie and TV business at the same time.

In order to attract Evan to participate, Jack was willing to change his main business, which shows his sincerity and importance to Evan.

But...Evan still did not agree to Jack's invitation.

"Why?"

Jack's patience was almost exhausted, and he asked for the last time. His rejection made him feel lost.

He also wants face.

Evan heard Jack's tone become colder and said, "I've already told you the reason."

Jack recalled Evan’s words just now, pondered for a moment, and asked, “Is the prospect of the movie so bleak in your opinion?”

Evan nodded.

Jack said seriously: "Please explain it in detail."

Jack wanted to know what was the reason that Evan was so afraid and cautious about entering Hollywood. He couldn't even take part in the stakes.

Ewen didn't want to say much, but because Jack was so sincere, he spoke: "I don't want to flow into the Hollywood river. The reason is very simple, because it is too muddy now and I can't see the bottom of the river."

“There are two reasons that make it turbid.”

"First of all, it's the list some time ago. Jack, you must know more about the cause and effect of this matter than me."

"If it's nothing but a list, but they're fired, things will be bad. In the future, this list will definitely continue to expand because it's the easiest way to eliminate dissent. The consequence is that Hollywood practitioners will be in danger."

"Because, movement will inevitably expand. This is a social law."

Jack felt the same way, but he didn't think that things were as serious as Evan said.

"The second reason is that the old Hollywood industry model will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the fuse is the case Paramount is dealing with."

Jack naturally wouldn't know about the case Evan said.

As Evan said, Jack understood that he thought Paramount would lose the lawsuit.

Because only if you lose, the popular Hollywood model of studios and theaters integrated will be changed.

Thinking of this, Jack was a little puzzled again. The separation of studios and theaters should be good news for emerging studios, otherwise the Ministry of Justice would not have filed a lawsuit so firmly. But why did Evan look like he was determined to be ruthless in the film industry?

Jack couldn't figure it out, so he asked his own question directly.

Evan said: "You said it right, Paramount lost, the separation of theaters and productions is a big event that is really good for small studios and has a big blow to the Hollywood giants."

"For the major giants led by Paramount, without theaters, they must change their previous habit of being big-handed because there is no theater chain to provide them with the bottom line. Even the screenwriters, directors, actors they signed may be swept out under an increasingly tight budget."

"Isn't that great?" Jack interjected, "so that I can sign better employees at a cheaper price!"

"The problem is not here," Evan said.

"The weakening of giants does not mean that small factories must be better off."

"Jack, don't forget that the theater chain was split from the main operation."

Speaking of this, Jack seemed to understand what Evan was going to say.

Hollywood's business can be roughly divided into three categories: investors who pay, professional practitioners who make movies, distribution of large films and theaters.

The current popular Paramount model, which is considered suspected to be monopoly by the Ministry of Justice, integrates all the above three together. Under this model, Paramount minimizes its own risks and makes a lot of money. In contrast, this model not only prevents other small factories from competing with them, but also damages the interests of professionals such as screenwriters and filmmakers. At the same time, because of the pursuit of interests, the movies presented to the audience also have a trend of the same.

Therefore, Paramount was pushed to the Supreme Court's dock by the Department of Justice.

If the case is as Evan judged and Paramount lost, the theaters will inevitably be divided. In this way, among the three parties engaged in Hollywood, the investment risks will increase greatly, and the relative producers will be improved to a certain extent, especially directors and stars who can make movies popular, as well as screenwriters who can write good accidents. For theaters, in order to survive, the selection of films will naturally be more stringent, and the sharing of interests may also be higher.

The rise in salary of employees and the increase in theater sharing are bound to be unfavorable for small studios.

Maybe because of this, Evan is discouraged by the film industry?

Jack analyzed this way, he spoke out his thoughts and looked at Evan with an inquiring gaze.

Evan nodded and replied, "It's roughly that."

"Of course, I reject you, and there is another side factor."

Jack thought for a while and said tentatively: "TV?"

He thought, saying, "That's right. Although the TV screen is small and the current price is not low, it is because it is close to the audience. And after a one-time investment, the whole family can use it. As long as the program keeps up and the technological progress reduces the cost of TV and TV stations, it will inevitably form a competitive relationship with the movie."

"I understand, no wonder you would say you would rather invest in TV..."

"Well..." Jack, who had thought through, pondered for a moment, suddenly slapped his thigh, looked at Evan and said, "Since that's the case, Evan, let me give up my proposal."

As he said that, Jack picked up the teacup, drank the tea in one sip, stood up and said, "I'm going to say goodbye, thank you for your hospitality."

Evan then stood up, reached out to Jack, shook his hand, and said, "I'm sorry..."

"No, it's me who was abrupt." Jack shook hands with Evan hard, and then walked out without any hesitation.

At this moment, Evan suddenly asked, "Don't you try to convince me anymore?"

Jack waved his hand and said, "No, my original intention of starting a business was to make a movie. This cannot be changed. Since the conflicts between them cannot be reconciled, there is no need to continue talking about it."

Standing at the door of Room 111, Jack smiled at Evan and said, "Thank you again, Evan."

After saying that, Jack turned around and walked towards the exit.

As soon as he raised his foot, Evan suddenly shouted, "Wait."

Jack's figure suddenly stopped.

Did Evan change his attention?
