[Global Times Special Reporter Lu Ke] According to Agence France -Presse, on the 9th, when the attractive drama "Mike" is about to start on the streaming media platform Hulu, the former world heavyweight boxer Mike Tyson scolded the show. "Stealing away" his own life and compared Hulu to "slave master". This incident has once again exposed the flow of the flow media platform now in the entertainment industry in the United States, which has caused dissatisfaction with many parties.

Boxing King Tyson was furious

"Hulu is the streaming version of 'slave master'. They stole my story, but did not give me money!" Tyson did not hide his anger on his social media account. "Of course I will not support them. Use my life to create stories. This is not 1822, but 2022. For HULU high -level, I am just a 'black ghost' in the auction area. The reason why Tyson is so angry is because Hulu's limited drama "Mike", which is about to start on August 25, is about his life story: from Tyson's childhood unclear, to joining Brook, New York Lin Street Gangs, then went to the world boxing world to create a legend, but they were imprisoned due to various negative events. Among them, there were many private lives and rape cases. Although it was adapted from real figures and facts, Hulu producers said that because they could not communicate with Tyson and did not obtain the consent of the parties in advance. At the same time, screenwriter Stephen Rogers also believed that it was not a bad thing to shoot biography without authorization. : "You can get rid of the dependence on the only source of the letter. We have conducted in -depth research, got many different opinions, and then created around these. I don't like to be responsible for only one person."

As a limited episode, "Mike" has 8 episodes, including many negative descriptions of Tyson. In the play as Tyson, Treand Roders was asked if he was worried about whether he was angry with Tyson, the 32 -year -old American actor simply answered "no". The play also involves the game manipulation and use of Tyson Panpu and other boxing gangs. These social problems are also the attention of the creators and streaming platforms of "Mike" episodes. "The worst person on the planet '", screenwriter Rogers responded to Tyson's anger, "I hope that if he see this play, he can change his point of view."

Want to control not only entertainment

The reason why Hulu is so strong to Tyson is in addition to taking a high point in public opinion, but also as one of the world's popular streaming media platforms, not only has the number of huge users, but also the largest Hollywood entertainment group Disney, which can pass through the mountain, you can pass through the mountain. Hot works to guide people's attention and position. There are long precedents for such operations: On the eve of the US presidential election in 2020, another universe media giant Net Fei launched the "Chicago Seven Gentlemen Judgment" based on historical events. With the help of police violence and biased trials in the film, the audience voted. In February last year, the HBO MAX platform also launched a documentary on Hollywood named Woody Allen's sexual assault case "Allen Dueling Fa Luo". It also did not communicate with the parties Allen. On the other hand, although the Allen couple refuted, the streaming platform was not wrong. Hulu, as Disney's fastest streaming media, has 41.4 million users, and new users have grown more than Disney+, and the total number of global users in the latter is now 137 million. They are very good at digging and making hot spots. Both sides like Mike scolding war can cause controversy and topics, which brings eyeballs and traffic.

Today, streaming media such as Internet flight, Disney+, HBO MAX, and Hulu are increasingly revealing "monopoly hegemony". "Hollywood Reporter" pointed out that the media groups who monopolize global information resources are now controlling people's entertainment life through global streaming media platforms. By integrating the network and traditional cable TV channels, they create the most competitive streaming media. For example, the merger of Warner and the Exploration Channel reflects the emphasis on the status of streaming media in Hollywood. Layers to weaken the original TV and film income. In contrast, the living space of those small traditional media and streaming media platforms is thinner.

"Don't show up like a rich man"

However, the crazy expansion of streaming media has also encountered bottlenecks now. Net flights with consistent wealth and "shop bullying guests" have appeared negative growth for two consecutive quarters, and the number of users has stagnated about 220 million. The British industry media "Advanced TV Network" warned the Internet flying, "Don't show up like a rich man", it does not do well in attracting users and charging methods. In the case, streaming media has become a luxury. Streaming platforms like Net Fei must make the products diversify enough and make the audience feel that it is worth it to truly retain users. "

In addition, governments from all over the United States have obtained generous benefits across the region in recent years, but they have been deeply dissatisfied with the city's operating fees. There have been 25 cities and towns in Texas recently issued a joint litigation, demanding that the city flying media platforms such as Internet flights, Hulu and Disney+, like other cable television companies, pay the city franchise fee, but these multinational streaming platforms have not responded.
