Social Do people expect that the cultural influence industries will move out of LA and NY at some point?

[Nizam al-Mulk]

There is no specific reason why the motion picture industries and book publishing and journalism should be in those 2 cities which are some of the most expensive to live in.

As much as i loathe the average online influencer they can come from anywhere and gain a loyal audience.

Does anyone expect change in the next 15 years? There was an attempt to move the movie industry to Texas that resulted in some decent movies that had some great reviews. Vegas tried to woo the movie and tv industry recently in a big and serious way but that failed.

If a few companies gobble up the motion picture industry it is not hard to see why they would not move somewhere where operating is cheaper than LA or NY.

Not as long as it continues to be lucrative

Why is it lucrative right now?

Motion picture leadership is not a bunch of Gordon Gekkos. they are just used to doing things a certain way the same way they kept putting out expensive musicals in the md 60s and needed new wave directors to rescue them.

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Hopefully not

 

[Nizam al-Mulk]

Hopefully not

Why would you care?

It shouldn’t be, but it is. I agree, it’s silly

You already do have it over there. A lot of movies were shot in Georgia, Atlanta has some big ass soundstages.

Lol I'm not from there either. Anyway, carry on with whatever this is, doesn't seem like a pressing concern in either direction

 

[Nizam al-Mulk]

in either direction

What do you mean by that?

With Saudi Arabia trying to take over in the American entertainment industry, with sports and video games and movies, I wouldn't be surprised if eventually all the rich warlords down there forced the "entertainment industry" to move there. Then they could use slave labor for all their entertainment endeavors and save even more money, because billions and trillions aren't enough.

How would that work if they forced them to move there?

The consumers prefer western Europe and North America as a setting or protagonists coming from those cultures.

A.i will make that industry be less lucrative they already have a.i influencers.

I've seen a few articles of late, with actors saying that Hollywood is dying, going away. It is harder to find work in that industry anymore. White people are not watched in Hollywood, etc.

hard to say what is going to happen though. People like to be entertained. Right now the movie industry is going through big changes due to online streaming. Streaming giants don't care that much about making good quality movies to watch. Instead they are concerned with getting subscriptions. Those that watch Netflix I've noticed seem to really enjoy the Asian shows that are offered. I thought that interesting.

I see a future of enslaved Indians working in Saudi running around in them green suited white bobble outfits recreating the fall of Carthage........

 

[Swamps]

Unfortunately, a lot have already infiltrated Metro Atlanta.

 

[William Huggins]

Do they influence or are they more of a reflection........?

Wasn't it leaked somewhere that anything to get streamed on Amazon or Netflix had to have certain % of demographics, limiting white male speaking roles? Or was that debunked

If shows are limiting "white roles" then yes, makes sense harder for white people to land roles.

LA has already lost a significant share of actual film and tv/streaming production. Films were always shot on different locations but now the technology is more dispersed and there has been a 30 year trend for other jurisdictions to offer major tax and other incentives to gain market share (something that California has avoided). I expect actual production to remain dispersed.

LA remains the hub. Like any industry, there are massive advantages to the physical and intellectual infrastructure that has been built up over decades that are extremely difficult to replicate.

The "influencer" industry feels inherently more distributed but in practice cultural influence has always been driven from large, rich and diverse cities.

They'll fit in perfectly in Austin California.
