8 Million Subs and 1.6 Billion Views... NOBODY CARES | Freddie Wong on the Movie Industry

Freddiew should have worked with Netflix instead of hulu, because frankly nobody cares about hulu outside of u.s.

This is kinda sad to hear... freddiew and the crew back in 2010 was the MAIN AND WHOLE reason i started youtube and editing. The main reason how i got into movie making, editing, youtube, film school and a batchelor in film. Iv been having multiple channels doing VFX and skits since FreddieW golden days. That you guys dont have the same, or even more influence on youtube, is so sad... now mainstream media and vloggers like Jake paul and old Viners hs taken over the content on youtube. Only a week ago i re-visited the old coridor and freddiew videos, and it felt sooo good. Its my childhood. I want a job at Coridor really, that would be a dream

I too have been waiting for this convo. Click with the quickness!

Honestly VGHS was a guilty pleasure. Only element missing was the MOBA scene like League players. But it was actually fun and corny but in a good way lol. And it was decently shot, and the cast was likable.

Freddiew, Corridordigital....the YouTube glory days

Freddie is going through what tens of thousands of YouTubers will be going through in a few years. All these 19-24 year old freshed-faced vloggers seem to be completely oblivious to the fact that where was an entire decade of content creators before them who are currently trying to figure out how to keep this career alive as they get older, get married, have kids, etc. The entertainment world has always been a harsh business, that won't ever change.

I'm not a "filmmaker", but I live and work in Georgia as a props person and Armorer on a lot of the big shows here. I can say confidentiality that nobody in the industry respects YouTube or new media on the level they should.

Cant believe freddiew has these kinds of regrets. But as a content creator I understand, and this makes me think

... Why is this just now appearing in my recommended feed? I needed this a LONG time ago.

Then a pandemic happens. Look at all the traditional celebrities using social media now.

Gone are the days when YouTube contents were pushing the boundaries and make us viewers think, "Holy shit, they can do this at home too? I thought only Hollywood could do this!"

My friends and I watched the videos every weekend together after work. It was our ritual for years

That's why Freddie should have stayed a YouTuber. Wish him the best of luck.

This video is 4 years old now but that guy who made the backrooms video getting a film with A24 definitely seems to be showing a change in the attitude of LA.

I love Freddie, this dude has inspired so many people to grow as creators. I look up to the guy, and am genuinely proud that he exist. It really gives hope for the species in general.

The poor Sam is really sad after Freddie's words Sam this is for you ❤️ 4:30

Video Game High School got me through middle school.

Hollywood sounds like a dude that joins your groups at the club, then says you can't come to the afterparty, while the afterparty is at your house.

oh damn, real film industry talk on this one. If you are in LA doing an even remotely "big" job with known SAG actors and an agency DP, full crew, etc... some one will call that in and IATSE will come for you <3

For anyone that remembers this, Freddie was involved in plenty of commercials for video games, for Blizzard and Call of Duty. If I were in Freddie's shoes, I could go the route of making and directing short creative action videos for the gaming industry from commercials all the way up to storyline content, using his uncanny ability to bring gaming characters to IRL.
