accounting and i'll be the 1st paragraph of what wikipedia says hollywood accounting also known as hollywood bookkeeping the 1st the opaque or creative accounting methods used by film video and television industry to budget and record profits for film projects expenditures can be inflated to reduce or eliminate the reported profit of the project thereby reducing the amount which the corporation must pay in taxes and royalties or other profit sharing agreements as these are based on the net profits and there's a famous case of art buchwald and i believe the movie was coming to america to america and so in this case he never got any royalties and never got any pay for his contribution as a writer and he went to court and they were able to get rid of some of the abuses of hollywood accounting but the idea is that you never show a profit these movies the biggest money makers in the world that make billions of dollars in the box office won't show to their accounting to the i.r.s. they're still still in a loss because every single thing is is used as an expense against that budget it also leads to

and we're going to get into the hollywood accounting in the 2nd half but you know basically every all the elite and they are the elite the people making 203040 1000000 a year on c.n.n. and amazon b.c. and fox like they're pointing finger is and like that's their entire elite start all their d.c. friends all their manhattan friends all their hollywood friends all the valley friends are all getting the same thing you become a billionaire in america by not paying taxes like you can't give 50 percent over to the schmucks. that's a huge part of it member leona helmsley but it's back in $88.00 i believe said the only little people pay taxes right she was a real estate developer but like commercial real estate america responsible last year for 9200000 jobs right so the entrepreneurs who are developers like trump's entrepreneur he's they take risk they know they're risking that these properties could blow up and not be worth anything of value and that's what entrepreneurs do and they get taxed the government gives them tax incentives to be entrepreneurial to be property developers that's what

when you look at where hollywood was and when you look at where you think hollywood needs to be, howl. i think it raised an incredible amount of awareness. and so awareness really is the beginning of change. but then you've got to get down to the hard work of looking at how those kinds of biases and the kind of acceptance has been built into our structures. , you know, we started out trying to example the structures, and then we realized, we've got to do a survey. we've got to hear from people who are working in the industry about what they think needs to be done. and over and over, no matter what we were questioning them about, we found out that, one, they felt there was some progress but not enough. it's almost like, okay, we've gotten a sense of how things might be. and now we want more. and we expect more. the other thing was accountability, that they're saying, "look, we've raised awareness. now we've got to start holding people accountable, and we have to put into place the processes and policies and will to make change." one of the saddest things that i read was that many peop

marvelous worlds and the stuff will cost reminiscent of hollywood movies no wonder people around the globe and yes think about computer games but how influential are they really and how does the gaming seen him take society and what topic today on. more than 3000000000 people around the world regularly play games on a p.c. consul all in my case on the smartphone games are an everyday part of life for about 40 percent of the people worldwide. so it's not surprising that marketing strategist count on the wide reach like with the popular real time simulation game animal crossing your horizons earlier this year it was sold out even democratic presidential candidate joe biden was nearly 80 years old is using the game to reach new voters over 22000000 people play animal crossing new horizons in this game you designed your little island now you can also use campaign posters team behind joe biden's campaign has added 4 logos to the game all of which can be put up a sign. joe biden's campaign team are trying to reach specific target audiences. and animal crossing is an effective way to reach

it is designed to connect and centralize the labor force and content force of hollywood it is one app that will be able to access that so really the principal of the whole idea is that ron and i realized that after doing this for 35 years that hollywood is so hiearchial and narrow that i is keeping people from coming into the business. so we knew that original voices are not only inthis narrow kor doer, but all over the world so what we wanted to do was create like a funnel in the world that enables all of the people in the world, now we have 100 countries involved in this, to have access into this media capital. and they are not disabled by this system, they can enter at a higher place and that is exactly -- >> it is called development for a reason it has been development hell it is a system that does inadvertently block new voices from coming in it boils down to an cien ancient system of just making list, so this was a solution to give people opportunity, mentorship, leadership, and to help cut through. and it is really, really been working, growing, and we have 30,000 writers that

this is a very interesting time in hollywood. this is the mid-50's. we went from being afraid of europe to being afraid of space. we were starting to be afraid of the russians, nuclear war, the sky, spaceships, aliens. all of a sudden, we have this new thing called science fiction. all of the classic monster movies that universal had built as a backbone back in the 30's were dracula, wolfman, those kinds of horror. they had never done science fiction before. all of a sudden, the kids wanted sci-fi, so they had to figure how to make a sci-fi movie. that in itself was a new thing. all of a sudden, they had a new audience they never had to cater to before. a very terrifying, still terrifying, audience -- teenagers. [laughter] they had this massive group of teenagers who had pocket money, who had time. this is when the suburbs were a thing. they wanted to get these kids out of the house. the parents wanted them out of the house. the best place them to be was the movies. they wanted to make sci-fi movies for kids to go see. so they started cooking somethin

so bringing some of these features, advertising at the time and hollywood, bringing them into hollywoodly reason you will not be humming give a man a job later this day is because you will hum "i like ike." it is a lot catchier. >> they also use it as a selling point. usually when we think of selling a candidate, we think of getting votes. but this time it was getting the people involved in a specific policy, so it is helping the common man or the middle-class man to come out and without you, we can't do this, but with you you can be part of this grander thing helping all americans. >> and that is really key, as well, when we think about media and new media and the president. because effective presidents are able to use new media to win elections, but also to govern. to use it as a tool to sell their agenda, as well. making that transition from communication on the campaign trail to communication once in office is really key. this is why what dwight eisenhower does with television is also really important, because he follows that trajectory in terms of using new media to win an election
