<v Speaker 1>you guys have some places to go. I wan't talk

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about Hollywood getting feeling like Hollywood is

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>like Donnie, damn, what do you? What's your field on Hollywood?

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's definitely changing. He's going through a major

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:21.040
<v Speaker 1>transition period. I think, uh, you know, music, television, film.

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're seeing it before our eyes, you know. Um,

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it from my opinion when it comes to

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>television and movies, he could probably speak more so to

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 1>mute the music business. For me, it's like, you know,

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>we're in a different day and age. Right, It's uh,

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot that I can say about this, but

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll try to be as quick as quick as I can.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 1>But I'll say it started with like Netflix, right. Netflix

0:01:44.840 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>was a platform that disrupted everything. I would say two things,

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 1>social media and Netflix st sure, but but i'll say

0:01:55.320 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>thank you. I'll say as far as uh uh Netflix, right,

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>let's start with them. They had this philosophy. It was

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.680
<v Speaker 1>all about convenience, choice and control. Right. There are twenty

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 1>plus year old business people. Don't really realize that they've

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>been around for twenty plus years, right, And so their

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>model was all about how do we make it convenient

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>for customers where they can choose whatever they want at

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>their control. And so that was there kind of like philosophy, right,

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and so they did it. They started mailing DVDs when

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you had to go and get in the car, start

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>your car, drive to a place, look around, then drive

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>back home, then bring it back. Blockbuster was very successful.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Netflix said, go to our website, sign up, will mail

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>you the DVD, right, you don't even have to get up.

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So so so they were mailing you DVDs. That was

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the first and yeah, and then they had your credit

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>card on file, so if you chose to keep the DVD,

0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>they just take your money. But nobody ever reads the

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>privacy policies and things like that, so you're just like whatever, right,

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>So so they did that and they were successful, and

0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>ultimately they grew, and then technology and evolved in advance.

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.440
<v Speaker 1>They were on computers and you can go on your

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>web you know, whatever device you had. And then ultimately

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>where people Hollywood started recognizing Netflix was when you know,

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>they started putting out original programming. It was House of

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Cards and it was Oranges, the New Blacks that well,

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if dex was that was that was

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>an effort, but it was House of Cards and and

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>it was House of Cards and uh and Orange. And

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.480
<v Speaker 1>so what happened was they disrupt Like they finally announced

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>how many subscribers they had, and it was like thirty

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.280
<v Speaker 1>five million subscribers right, paying like eight dollars and it

0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>was like two and eighty million dollars a month. So

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>when Netflix reported that, Hollywood was like okay, and then

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>they reported that, you know, you can watch these shows

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>on our platform. You know, it was like and then

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:49.720
<v Speaker 1>they changed the game because it was like the shows

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>looked just as good, if not better than an HBO

0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>type of series. Right, it was very premium and you

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>had an a list talent, Kevin Spacey and all these

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>other people and these shows. And then they changed it

0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>where they were like O binge watching watch all twin

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 1>twelve episodes, right, and so everybody Hollywood is kind of

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>scratching his head, like, hold on what just happened? Right?

0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>And then people started going and then it was it

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>was word of mouth and people. So so Netflix continue

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>to evolve. Right now, they have almost two hundred million

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 1>subscribers right right now, they're bringing in billions of dollars

0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 1>a month in revenue, and so they have a ton

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of original programming that they're creating so they can keep

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and hold their subscribers and ultimately scale it. So that

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>model changed the game for Hollywood. So that meant that

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>people were less interested in going to the movies, they

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>were less interested in watching traditional television because of that

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 1>business model. And then you had on the other side

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:43.840
<v Speaker 1>social media, right, you had all these influencers because technology

0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>evolved where they can shoot on their Everything is on

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>this phone, right, is an editing software program on Here

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>is a camera and you have distributions, you have distribution,

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you have editing, you distribution editing, and you have production

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 1>right so on on this one device. So as this

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:05.480
<v Speaker 1>started to evolve and the platform was available, it just it,

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 1>you know it. It took eyeballs off of traditional, you know,

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood ways of how you watch content. So the first choice,

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.279
<v Speaker 1>right that people choose nowadays of how to watch content

0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.479
<v Speaker 1>is on their phone. They'll go to Instagram, They'll go

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>to all these different social platforms that that will be

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>the first place they watch. The second option would be

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.440
<v Speaker 1>any type of what we call v O D service

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>video on demand, so that whether that's a VOD t

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>VOT or s VOD advertising video on demand that's like

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 1>a YouTube. T VOT is more transactional video on demand,

0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and then s VOT is like Netflix subscription base. So

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>that's like the number two option. And then third was

0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>like cable TV. Fourth is like movies, and we see

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>in front of our eyes, when is the last time

0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you really go to a movie theater? Right? Nobody goes

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.919
<v Speaker 1>to the movies like they used to, unfortunately, and so

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.280
<v Speaker 1>it's almost becoming like this nostalgic kind of thing right

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>right now, it's wow, the mute the movies, right, and

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.080
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's uh, it's it's it is what it is.

0:05:58.360 --> 0:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>But that's the day and age we live in and

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>out you have platforms like only fans and just again,

0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 1>eyeballs are going in all these different places now where

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>people can watch content. So yes, Hollywood is changing significantly

0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>because of technology, because of the new platforms that are

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.799
<v Speaker 1>emerging and that are here, and because of how people

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>can watch content. I don't know, if you have anything

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 1>you want to I think you said it. I think

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>it's the greatest time in entertainment history. Is so many

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>media outlets in so many ways to go directly to

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the consumer. So you don't need gatekeepers or intermediaries or middlemen,

0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, to get to your audience or to build

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>your audience audience base, and it's fifteen million ways to

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>monetize once you build your audience based. So to me,

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a great time in media, music and

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 1>television and music and television right this is a time

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.839
<v Speaker 1>where artists can own their art, exploit their art on

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 1>their terms right, and get fair value for them. So

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it's great. What's up? But I suck this
