Chapter 721: Mobile client

Actors are also an important resource in Hollywood. Ronan roughly remembered something about Jessica Chastain, who was once a representative figure in Hollywood's hardworking and dedicated group.

If some of the circumstances in retrospect are true, this one looks like Jessica Felton and belongs to true feminism.

Once, as a professional talent at Juilliard School, it took nearly ten years to become famous. It is not easy to think about it.

Without the background, without the care and support of big people, and without a little luck, success is really too difficult.

When she became famous, the model worker sister was also old.

Ronan asked Connie to collect some information about Jessica Chastain. There is a suitable role behind, and the actress can be considered appropriately.

Not to mention anything else, at least let Shahai Entertainment sign a long-term contract with her.

In addition, the collected information shows that Jessica Chastain was really called Jessica Howard before. She grew up with her mother and stepfather. No one outside knows who her biological father is.

Coupled with a somewhat similar appearance to Bryce Dallas Howard, this is easy to associate.

For example, a certain singer from the East was also rumored to be an illegitimate child because of his iconic big nose...

On the weekend, among the many films prepared by Embassy Pictures for the awards season, there will be seeded players. "Eavesdropping Storm" will be screened in Los Angeles on the scale of five theaters in order to get admission tickets for the Oscars.

Embassy Pictures has already declared an Oscar for this film. In order to concentrate its small investment resources, it only declared the Oscar for the best foreign language film award.

Thanks to the European Film Awards, the Italian David Award, the Berlin Golden Bear Award and the French Caesar Award and many other best film awards, "Eavesdropping Storm" still attracted a small number of American audiences.

Although it is only a small group, it is not a problem to fill up five movie theaters.

On the first weekend in North America, the average box office of "Eavesdropping Storm" was close to 30,000 US dollars, and it earned more than US$14 in five theaters.

For a European film, or a non-English film, this is a very good result.

Because of the competition for the best foreign language film for the Oscar, the film can only have English subtitles, and cannot replace the original German with English dubbing.

There are basically no replacements for overseas films coming to the North American market.

After the first film weekend of "Eavesdropping Storm", the critics' reputation was so good that it exploded. Rotten Tomatoes collected nearly 60 professional film reviews, almost all of which were well received, with a freshness of 95%.

The media’s reputation was also overwhelming. Dozens of media invited by Embassy Pictures scored 89 points for the film.

For mainstream Western thought, this film is truly politically correct.

The influence of political correctness on the Oscars can never be ignored.

Even this has become a more critical criterion for awards that far exceeds the quality of the film.

This kind of film about the subject of human freedom has always been Oscar's favorite.

The key films of Embassy Pictures this awards season are "Crash" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door". The investment in "Eavesdropping Storm" is limited. Good reputation and suitable themes are also conducive to the film's impact on the best foreign language films. Awards.

Ronan's attention is not on "Eavesdropping Storm" and has turned to Netflix.

After nearly a year of preparation and more than half a year of negotiations, Netflix has reached an agreement with Motorola and Samsung. Netflix’s mobile client will become a pre-installed program for the smartphones of the two companies.

For businesses such as Netflix Video, Netflix Leasing and Netflix Streaming, the specific cooperation will not start until next year.

The most promising Netflix share, took the lead in listing and became a pioneer.

If the response is good, starting from January next year, Netflix will share the micro terminal and will continue to associate with other business sectors.

Limited by the market popularity brought by the high price of smart phones, mobile clients certainly cannot spread as quickly as social micro-ends in the past.

But the first mover advantage and the exclusive agreement signed with the two major mobile phone manufacturers will also give Netflix a big step ahead of its competitors.

Ronan has been staring at the social, video and streaming markets.

Today is the age of blogging, and Twitter does not yet know where it is; the online video Netflix is ​​an independent company, and the tubing is simply not found, and it should not have been established; in addition to Netflix, the streaming media business has no related concepts in the market.

The free travel and immediacy shared by Netflix have attracted many celebrities. Needless to say, Hollywood, which has always been at the forefront of trends, has many well-known figures in the commercial streets and political circles who have actively opened accounts.

For example, the real estate developer surnamed Tang in New York is now an active user of Netflix sharing, and will send out some messages every three days to make complaints and satirize other people.

Naifei's rule of the country does not seem far away.

In Washington, many young congressmen are also users of Netflix sharing. For example, the black charcoal congressman from Illinois is not only extremely active on Netflix sharing, but also attracts through this increasingly broad open platform. A large number of supporters of the left have arrived.

As for the two factions of democracy and republic, sharing verbal battles through Netflix also happens from time to time.

Netflix sharing is gradually infiltrating all aspects of life in the United States through the increasingly popular Internet and computers.

It is a pity that the banking industry is a mountain that is almost impossible to read, otherwise Ronan would have the heart to engage in online payment.

But this aspect is completely different from the Internet industry. It is not just about being cautious. Without a strong association, you can't even touch it.

The one who used to know how much he paid, and how much is in his hands, is even more unknown.

Some industries and business circles can compete and develop as much as they want, even if the space is large enough, but some things will have serious consequences if they are touched.

It is not impossible to become a public enemy of American capital.

Ronan knows very well that in Hollywood and its related industries and the emerging Internet industry, as long as a few powerful partners are recruited, the future is promising, and there is no need to ask for those big troubles.

Snake swallowing elephants happen occasionally, but what is the result of ants swallowing elephants?

People from Netflix are still stepping up negotiations with Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Since there are no other competitors in the same category in the market, the negotiations are actually close to reaching an agreement.

While negotiating with these mobile phone manufacturers, Netflix is ​​also proposing that the parties jointly establish a cooperative alliance to safeguard the common interests of major manufacturers and brands in this industry, and to raise the barriers to entry for mobile phones and their smart operating systems as much as possible.

This kind of negotiation is bound to be a long-term process of competition and compromise, and cannot be accomplished overnight.

If Netflix wants to promote the Android system that is still under development and design, it also needs more powerful capabilities.

Fortunately, this proposal is also in the interests of the current major mobile phone giants. No one wants new giants in the mobile phone industry to carve up the market. They are all interested in this.

The least interested is Nokia, which is seeking to acquire Symbian.

How to develop in the future, to some extent, seems to be inclined to how Netflix will develop.

If Netflix is ​​still a company like its current one, it would be a foolish dream to promote the Android system worldwide.

But after going public next year, Netflix will become an Internet giant, and the situation will be completely different.

To be honest, several people once thought that Nokia, one of the two giants in the mobile phone industry, would have fallen into that situation in the mobile phone market and had to spin off its mobile phone business.

When Ronan heard that Nokia had divested its mobile phone business, he could only describe it as shock.

The current Nokia mobile phone is synonymous with durable leather. On the Internet, it is said that it is the favorite of African mercenaries. It is said to be put in the pocket of the chest and can block bullets.

The credibility of this rumor is not known, but Ronan has experienced firsthand that the Nokia candy bar phone he used while reading fell from a height of more than two meters and fell apart. Not only did the screen not break, he picked up all the parts. , After installing the phone, the person looking for repairs can still use it normally.

At that time, Nokia mobile phones can also be said to be a kind of belief, but later, the Nokia brand, like Motorola, gradually became a feeling.

Georgia, the capital city of Atlanta.

A slightly old second-hand Ford car was parked in front of the roadside house. Adrian picked up the phone box on the co-pilot. After getting out of the car, he didn't even have time to lock the door and flew towards the house. Rush away.

When he returned home, he first opened the box and took out the brand-new Motorola E680, which was only launched in September.

The silver mobile phone has a large screen that other mobile phones do not have. Not only does it have a touch screen function, it can also log in to the Internet through the mobile communication network.

Of course, such phones are expensive.

Adrian just got the salary of the first official job in his life, and he specially bought such a mobile phone to reward himself.

"Hi, Ed." Mother walked through the living room: "We are going to the supermarket, are you going?"

Adrian put all his energy on the new phone and waved his hand: "No."

The parents left soon. Adrian fiddled with the phone for a while and found that there was a familiar icon-Netflix!

As a loyal user of Netflix, he immediately clicked on the icon and followed simple and clear instructions to log in to his Netflix account. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his Netflix sharing interface appeared on the phone screen in another form.

Although it is different from the computer webpage, the operation is also simple and easy to understand. Adrian only fiddled with it for a while and became familiar with the operations of friends, recent information, followers, Netflix news, and Moments.

What interests him most is that Moments provides a new feature that can take pictures and videos and upload them to Moments instantly.

Adrian immediately turned on this function and entered the shooting interface. He first took a few pictures of the living room and uploaded it, and then took a short video, which was sent to the circle of friends.

With 300,000 pixels, the resolution is very good.

Adrian saw more than a dozen likes in the circle of friends instantly, and he was full of joy. He found the SD card and pressed it, decided to go out to shoot, upload more videos, and make those who are still playing on the computer side envy and jealous hate!
