<p>当奈飞宣布以 830 亿美元收购华纳兄弟工作室和 HBO Max 时，娱乐之都从哀悼转向愤怒。最初对华纳兄弟探索出售的心碎情绪，已经演变为对许多人视为流媒体行业最危险的权力攫取的全面抵制。</p>
<p>回到十月，当工作室首次挂出待售标志时，好莱坞的反应是悲痛。大制作人拉里·戈登将其比作失去家庭成员。编剧们在 WhatsApp 聊天中充满了心碎和悲惨的字眼。但现在，奈飞作为买家的出现，使这种情绪变得更加尖锐。</p>
<h3><strong>行业巨头发出警告</strong></h3>
<p>简·方达在给一家娱乐行业贸易出版物的信中发起了猛烈攻击，警告称此次合并代表着对整个娱乐行业、其服务的公众以及可能的第一修正案保护的威胁，构成了令人担忧的整合危机升级。她的严峻评估捕捉到了人们对流媒体垄断化所带来的影响超越季度收益的日益担忧。</p>
<p>影院老板的反应尤为强烈。代表全国 30,000 个电影屏幕的 Cinema United 的领导人迈克尔·奥利里称这笔交易是前所未有的威胁，并誓言进行激烈反对。他的担忧集中在奈飞过去仅提供象征性影院发行，然后迅速将电影推向其平台的记录上。市场立即吸收了这种焦虑，AMC 娱乐、IMAX 和 Cinemark 的股价下跌了多达 8%。</p>
<p>工会团体同样积极动员。代表超过 12,000 名编剧的美国编剧协会宣称必须阻止此次合并，将其框定为反垄断法旨在防止的事情。团队工会的电影部门同样要求各级政府监管机构拒绝这笔交易。</p>
<h3><strong>承诺遭遇深度怀疑</strong></h3>
<p>奈飞联合首席执行官泰德·萨兰多斯在周五的投资者电话会议上试图进行危机控制，坚称公司将尊重华纳兄弟的影院发行模式。他强调奈飞对影院发行没有反对意见，并承诺目前计划在影院上映的所有内容将继续在大银幕上放映。</p>
<p>好莱坞内部人士对这些保证表示深深的怀疑。几位代理人注意到 “现在” 这一小心的限定词，留出了未来政策变化的充足空间。这种怀疑源于萨兰多斯最近的言论。就在去年四月的 Time100 峰会上，他暗示票房数字的下降表明消费者更喜欢在家观看电影。他进一步表示，影院对大多数人来说是一个过时的想法。</p>
<h3><strong>工人准备应对失业</strong></h3>
<p>对于洛杉矶的娱乐工作者，从摄影师到发型师再到布景设计师，奈飞的交易标志着对已经在流失的就业市场的又一次毁灭性打击。自 2020 年以来，行业已经失去了数万个职位，受到疫情、两次工会罢工、制作转向更便宜市场以及人工智能逐渐自动化的冲击。</p>
<p>行业资深人士认识到，整合总是意味着裁员。迪士尼在 2019 年以 713 亿美元收购福克斯时引发了大规模裁员。当 Skydance Media 在今年完成 80 亿美元收购派拉蒙时，这一模式再次上演，派拉蒙随后裁减了超过 2,000 名员工以削减 30 亿美元的成本。</p>
<p>代表洛杉矶的劳拉·弗里德曼强调，反复的整合已经导致无数工作岗位的流失。她承诺将密切审查，以确保这笔交易支持洛杉矶的工人，而不是削弱他们。</p>
<h3><strong>政治反应保持谨慎</strong></h3>
<p>洛杉矶的政治领导人在回应中小心翼翼。市长卡伦·巴斯强调制作工作室对城市作为创意之都的地位的贡献，同时承诺促进本地制作和创造就业机会。市议员凯蒂·雅罗斯拉夫斯基，她的选区包括主要工会总部和制作设施，关注这笔交易是否加强了本地制作，还是加速了工作迁移到其他地方。她承认奈飞是一个强大的城市合作伙伴，但指出娱乐行业仍然处于危机之中。</p>
<p>在即将到来的市长竞选中挑战巴斯的奥斯丁·比特纳，直接表达了对整合对社区就业影响的担忧。</p>
<p>在幕后，市政厅的消息来源透露了复杂的情绪。一些自由派人士悄悄欢迎奈飞战胜大卫·埃里森及其父亲拉里（一位显著的特朗普支持者），阻止他们收购另一家标志性工作室。然而，联邦监管批准的阴影笼罩着这一切，特别是考虑到奈飞可能需要做些什么来安抚即将上任的政府。</p>
<h3><strong>创作自由受到威胁</strong></h3>
<p>在娱乐氛围浓厚的西区，这一消息主导了人们的谈话。娱乐律师克里斯·佩雷斯代表独立和纪录片制作人，报告称电话不断。他解释说，当只有少数买家控制市场时，他们会倾向于更安全、风险更小的内容。结果是实验性减少，创作大胆性降低。他警告说，整合确实有可能扼杀创造力。</p>
<p>美国编剧协会西部分会主席米歇尔·穆尔罗尼称此次合并是灾难。她指出，奈飞的商业模式已经围绕着让观众粘在沙发上消费内容。这些合并总是承诺带来好处，但她表示，始终带来的是竞争减少、薪酬降低和工人就业机会减少。她称这是好莱坞创意社区的一个非常阴暗的日子。</p>
<p>该交易现在进入复杂的监管审查阶段，政治考量、反垄断审查和劳工倡导将在此交锋。对于一个已经受到冲击的行业而言，结果可能决定好莱坞的创意工作者是否能够生存，或者成为流媒体战争的又一牺牲品。</p>

奈飞

<p>Netflix 以 830 亿美元收购华纳兄弟和 HBO Max 引发了好莱坞的重大反对。包括简·方达在内的行业人士和工会警告称，这一合并危机威胁到娱乐行业和第一修正案的保护。人们担心可能会导致失业、创作自由减少，以及 Netflix 对院线发行的承诺。政治领导人对此表示谨慎回应，而对 Netflix 的承诺仍持怀疑态度。此次合并对竞争和就业的影响正受到审查</p>

<p>The entertainment capital shifted from mourning to fury when Netflix announced its $83 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. studio and HBO Max. What started as heartbreak over Warner Bros. Discovery’s October sale announcement has erupted into full-scale resistance against what many view as streaming’s most dangerous power grab yet.</p>

</div><p>Back in October, when the studio first hung its for-sale sign, Hollywood responded with grief. Megaproducer Larry Gordon compared it to losing a family member.

<div class="lb-trans"><h3><strong>行业巨头发出警告</strong></h3>
</div><p>Jane Fonda launched a blistering attack in a letter to an entertainment trade publication, warning the merger represents an alarming escalation in a consolidation crisis that threatens the entire entertainment industry, the public it serves and potentially even First Amendment protections. Her stark assessment captures growing fears that streaming monopolization carries implications far beyond quarterly earnings.</p>

</div><p>Theater owners reacted with particular intensity. Michael O’Leary, who leads Cinema United representing 30,000 movie screens nationwide, called the deal an unprecedented threat and vowed aggressive opposition. His concerns center on Netflix’s track record of offering only token theatrical releases before rushing films to its platform. Markets absorbed the anxiety immediately, with shares of AMC Entertainment, IMAX and Cinemark dropping as much as 8 percent.</p>

</div><p>Labor groups mobilized with equal force.

<div class="lb-trans"><h3><strong>承诺遭遇深度怀疑</strong></h3>
</div><p>Netflix co-chief executive Ted Sarandos attempted damage control during a Friday investor call, insisting the company would honor Warner Bros.‘ theatrical release model.

</div><p>Hollywood insiders greeted these assurances with profound doubt. Several agents noted the careful qualifier, right now, which leaves ample room for future policy shifts. The skepticism has roots in Sarandos’ recent statements. Just last April at the Time100 Summit, he suggested declining box office numbers showed consumers prefer watching movies at home. He went further, calling theaters an outmoded idea for most people.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h3><strong>工人准备应对失业</strong></h3>
</div><p>For Los Angeles entertainment workers, from camera operators to hairstylists to set designers, the Netflix deal signals another devastating blow to an already hemorrhaging job market. The industry has shed tens of thousands of positions since 2020, battered by the pandemic, two union strikes, production fleeing to cheaper markets and artificial intelligence’s creeping automation.</p>

</div><p>Industry veterans recognize that consolidation always translates to layoffs. Disney’s $71.3 billion Fox acquisition in 2019 triggered significant job cuts.

<div class="lb-trans"><h3><strong>政治反应保持谨慎</strong></h3>
</div><p>Los Angeles political leaders trod carefully in their responses. Mayor Karen Bass highlighted how production studios contribute to the city’s status as the creative capital while promising to foster local production and job creation. City Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky, whose district includes major union headquarters and production facilities, focused on whether the deal strengthens local production or accelerates work migration elsewhere. She acknowledged Netflix as a strong city partner but noted the entertainment sector remains in crisis.</p>

</div><p>On the entertainment-heavy Westside, the news dominated conversations. Entertainment lawyer Chris Perez, who represents independent and documentary producers, reported nonstop phone calls.

</div><p>Michele Mulroney, president of Writers Guild of America West, called the merger a disaster.
