"What? The cinemas in Europe have decided to re-release 'Investiture of the Gods 1'!" When Rector Morgan heard the news, he was about to explode. He never thought that these Europeans would take the initiative to violate his will. Did these Europeans not want their Great Lord anymore?
"In fact, it's not just the Europeans. Our cinemas have also begun to make a fuss about lifting the ban!" The secretary sighed. "If we hadn't been able to suppress the senior executives of the large cinemas, I'm afraid that our cinemas would have ignored the ban of the Review Board!"
"Their attitudes are actually the same. These large cinemas have already noticed the threat of online streaming media. They are afraid that if they continue to ban Daqian movies, then all the movies of Daqian movies in the future will be released on streaming media platforms!"
"If the Daqian movies were an ordinary large film company, then it would be fine. But now, the box office created by the Daqian movies every year accounts for almost one-third of the total box office of the global movies. At the same time, the Daqian movies have many hot IPs in their hands. These movies will be irresistible to any moviegoer!"
"They are worried that in the long run, the Daqian movies will cultivate the habit of watching movies on streaming media platforms and completely ignore the existence of cinemas. This will lead to a significant decline in the number of customers in the entire cinema market and the eventual collapse. Therefore, they have been demanding that the Daqian movies return to the cinemas and immediately ban them from streaming media platforms to maintain the status of the cinemas!" The secretary analyzed the thoughts of these cinema bosses.
"These people … Money Grubbers. Don't they understand that the market is always there? As long as the Daqian movies are defeated, then other film companies can share the Daqian movies. At that time, it will still be the same!" Rector Morgan said angrily.
Unfortunately, these short-sighted cinema bosses were destined to be unable to understand Rector Morgan's thoughts. Soon, the European market, which was less controlled by Morgan, took the lead in ignoring the ban. Especially when the Daqian made it clear that if the ban was not lifted, they would release Daqian movies on European streaming media platforms. These cinemas were the first to surrender.
The European cinemas did not have so many jurisdictions. As long as they were willing to release the movie, there was no administrative body to restrain them. Therefore, they directly threw away all kinds of protests and directly announced that after careful review and evaluation, as well as consulting the script of the follow-up "Investiture of the Gods" movie series sent by the Daqian, it was confirmed that the movie would not involve the two supreme gods of the Bishop and the Green Religion, and there was no mention of blasphemy against the gods.
They also said that the movie was a fictional world, and it was a joke to look for real gods in a fictional world.
Look, what a brilliant way of speaking! Looking for real gods in a fictional world, doesn't this mean that the gods are real? If they feel that the movies of Da Qian have insulted the gods, then the gods will become hypocrites instead?
In addition, in fact, there was no criticism of the Daqian movies on the Internet, so "Investiture of the Gods 1" was quickly re-released in various European cinemas, which made many people very depressed.
They didn't think that such a movie that insulted the gods shouldn't exist, but they didn't expect to spend only a small amount of money to watch the latest blockbuster movies on the Internet.
This was too miserable. In the end, capital won.
However, Rector Morgan was not a complete failure, because the cinemas in a certain country finally suppressed it and did not compromise with the Daqian movies, but the Daqian movies didn't matter.
Although the box office still had to be shared with the platform, causing the money to seem to be a lot less, because Guangying Video Platform was their own, there was no middleman to earn the price difference, and the actual box office earnings did not decline much.
On the contrary, with the success of "Investiture of the Gods 1", many movies had more intentions to be released on streaming media platforms. In this way, it seemed that the Daqian movies still made a profit. The only thing that was hurt was probably the cinemas in a certain country.
However, Rector Morgan felt very ashamed. He had prepared for such a long time for a thunderous blow. Although it did make the Daqian movies lose the opportunity to be released in cinemas, the Daqian movies didn't lose money. This was simply unacceptable!
According to calculations, the operating income of a certain country's cinemas in 2011 would drop by more than 40%, and profits would drop by more than 70%, and even negative profits would appear.
As one of the largest investors of the cinema chain, the Morgan Consortium would also bear such a huge loss.
Therefore, after Rector Morgan's operation, the Daqian movies did not suffer any losses, and the Daqian movies did not suffer any losses. Instead, the Morgan Consortium, who initiated the war, suffered losses.
How could Rector Morgan accept this? When the financial report was announced, how could Rector Morgan continue to maintain his prestige in the Morgan family?
"Everything is wrong with the Internet!" Rector Morgan learned from the painful experience. He thought about the experience and fighting with the Daqian over the years and came to an important conclusion.
That is, the reason why the war with the Daqian failed is all because of the Internet. The Daqian had already arranged the Internet in advance before the Morgan Consortium was aware of it. As a result, 50% of the world's large-scale online media is now under the control of the Daqian.
What's even more terrifying is that the Daqian also controls more than 80% of the Internet traffic. Some important websites and apps are firmly under the control of the Daqian. If the remaining 50% of the Internet media want to develop and get more traffic, they must listen to the Daqian. Otherwise, the Daqian will directly block all their traffic entrances, and these media will have no sense of existence.
Therefore, the Daqian now firmly controls the entire Internet public opinion. If they want to completely defeat the Daqian, they must break the Daqian's monopoly on the Internet.
But this is really too difficult.
In the past few years, the Morgan Consortium has tried to invest in some online platforms, such as instant messaging platforms. Rector Morgan later invested in Momo.
For the e-commerce platform, they acquired eBay.
For the search platform, they revived Microsoft Search.
For the personal social platform, they created Link.
But these platforms didn't survive for more than a year, and then they announced the shutdown of their servers.
The reason is very simple. The Daqian's monopoly is very strong. These software can't get any traffic from the Internet. As soon as they come out, the Daqian will block them.
For example, when Momo was first launched, it took the path of an app. In the end, the Daqian's Hongjun system directly removed all Momo apps from the shelves. The reason was to promote YP.
At first, Momo's officials wanted to sue, but it was immediately exposed that a large number of copper refining scumbags were in the company. They were directly despised by the entire Internet.
