分析人士指出，一旦收购成功，流媒体模式将进一步主导娱乐业，从而冲击传统影视行业的生产及发行 模式，使好莱坞本已脆弱的就业市场更加回暖乏力。但目前收购或因美国监管部门的严格审查和特朗普 的介入而存在变数。 奈飞如虎添翼 据媒体报道，若此次收购最终完成，奈飞将把拥有哈利·波特、蝙蝠侠等影视版权的华纳兄弟工作室， 拥有《权力的游戏》《白莲花度假村》等热播剧的HBO电视台，连同流媒体平台HBO Max一并收入囊 中。 奈飞首席财务官斯潘塞·诺伊曼5日表示，该交易有望帮助奈飞"吸引并留住更多订阅用户"。 美国银行分析指出，奈飞此次收购可谓"一石三鸟"，不仅迫使华纳退出竞争，还将对派拉蒙和康卡斯特 造成实质性打击。据估算，奈飞与华纳兄弟合并后将在目前流媒体总时长中占比超过20%，尽管仍低于 优兔（YouTube）28%的占比，但远高于派拉蒙的5%和康卡斯特的4%。 美国流媒体巨头奈飞公司5日宣布与华纳兄弟探索公司达成协议，收购后者的电视、电影制作室和流媒 体业务，交易总价827亿美元。奈飞击败另外两家竞购对手——娱乐和媒体业巨头派拉蒙天舞公司和康 卡斯特公司，被认为可能引发行业"地震"。 美国总统特朗普7日说，围绕这笔收 ...
