Chapter 878： Terminator Gaiden
Nowadays, the streaming media business has just emerged. Whether it is 20th Century Fox or other companies, they all want to take a share in this newly emerging industry.
After all, Netflix's streaming media business has proven that this industry has a lot to offer.
As one of the traditional content producers, including Twentieth Century Fox and other traditional content producers, do not want to lose their previous advantages and status.
But other companies only realized the value of this industry this year. Netflix streaming media seems to be a step ahead, but it has actually led more than a few positions.
Since Ronan won Netflix, he has been preparing for the streaming media business, using his foresight and many other advantages, in more than a few years, he has quickly accumulated and bought out a large number of necessary content copyrights and network technologies.
This actually raises the barriers to entry for latecomers.
There are more than one video sites in Hollywood, but only Fox Online is currently online.
Other companies are not giving up this market, but are accumulating strength.
Online video broadcasting has never been the position of Hollywood in the past. This is a brand new industry for Hollywood as a whole. Hollywood’s big companies are actually more cautious. After all, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars of funds are smashed. Once there is an error, it is very likely. Will affect the normal operation of the company.
In some respects, the 20th Century Fox was more radical and bold. In less than a year, it spent 1.2 billion US dollars. From integrating copyrights to patent licensing to merging Internet companies, it was a Fox Online. come out.
Fox Online's technology is not mature enough. The main performance is that the highest definition is only the secondary definition of Netflix streaming media, and once the highest definition is selected, the buffers that appear from time to time require the audience to wait patiently.
In this fast-paced era, the audience is not as patient as it was ten years ago.
And the most important point is that Fox Online officially operates, and there is no heavyweight new drama online.
Ronan originally thought that the real rivals of streaming media or other businesses would have to wait at least half a year or even a year before they appeared.
Obviously 20th Century Fox can't wait.
"The appearance of a competitor is not a bad thing for Netflix." Ronan turned off the "True Lies" that was buffered from time to time, and said to Connie: "Tell Mark Randolph to pay attention to Fox Online to give them a bit A sense of urgency."
Connie replied, "Okay."
Ronan tapped the table lightly, and Netflix walked in front of everyone, but competitors will certainly appear one after another, not just the streaming business.
Connie's mobile phone rang and glanced down: "New news from Fox Online."
Ronan waved his hand, and Connie went to answer the phone. After saying a few words, he came back soon and said: "The news that I just got is that 20th Century Fox is in contact with Amazon’s Jason Girard, ready to invite Jeff Bezos’ capable man will serve as CEO."
She emphatically said: "Jason Girard is very interested in the invitation of Twentieth Century Fox."
Ronan asked: "Are there any restrictions on Jason Girard's contract with Amazon."
Because Ronan has continued to increase his holdings in recent years, and he is considered to be a larger shareholder of Amazon. Connie has some understanding of Amazon’s situation, and after thinking about it a little bit, he said: “Jason Giral is a very important management of Amazon. Personnel, one of Jeff Bezos’ important deputies, should have a very high amount of resignation terms."
"Make sure." Ronan said: "If it exists, you inform Scott Swift, in the name of Amazon's major shareholder, find a suitable opportunity to remind Amazon's management that the interests of Amazon shareholders must be safeguarded. "
Connie understands that this is for Amazon's management to avoid letting Jason Girard go because of human relationships.
From another aspect, it also increases the cost of digging Fox Online.
This aspect is not a big problem, and business matters can be handled according to the contract.
Although the current Amazon has shown a certain degree of strength, it is not yet an exceptionally powerful Amazon in the future. There are also competitors with similar strengths like eBay.
Ronan considered the future and said to Connie: "Tell Scott Swift that my personal investment fund continues to increase its holdings of Amazon stock. In addition, I want to seek to enter Amazon's board of directors."
Not only Amazon, but on Apple's side, Ronan has already reached a tacit agreement with Steve Jobs, and Steve Jobs will also promote him to the Apple board.
"That's right." Ronan asked instead, "Are there any new developments on Twentieth Century Fox and Terminator?"
Connie said: "There are some. Twentieth Century Fox asked to take back the filming rights of the "Terminator" sequel, but Warner Bros. said that since the end of "Terminator 3", it has been making early plans for "Terminator 4". At present, a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested. The 20th Century Fox’s requirements have seriously harmed the interests of Warner Bros., and Warner Bros. must pay US$50 million in compensation."
Ronan was not surprised. Instead, he would do the same. The six major companies have never been one.
As for whether to plan in the early stage, it is not difficult to get some copywriting materials based on the ability of big Hollywood companies. Sometimes creativity and copywriting are not valuable, sometimes they are valuable.
Connie’s words continue: "Warner Bros. said that if 20th Century Fox does not compensate, Warner Bros. will continue to prepare for Terminator 4."
Ronan smiled and asked, "Is there a response from 20th Century Fox?"
"The two sides are seeing the saw." Connie said quickly: "Twentieth Century Fox said that it is willing to pay Warner Bros. US$10 million in addition to the US$20 million copyright rebate fee, but Warner Bros. insists on not letting go of US$50 million."
She knows what happened before and after: "The two sides should be able to reach an agreement soon. Warner Bros. just wants to take the opportunity to ask for money. Twentieth Century Fox will raise the offer. It is estimated that the filming rights for the sequel to "Terminator" will return to 20. In the hands of Century Fox."
Ronan nodded slightly and reminded: "Keep paying attention."
The more the price paid by Fox in the twentieth century to take back the filming rights of the "Terminator" sequel, the more urgent it will be to produce a new "Terminator" movie.
After all, you have to find a way to get your investment back.
Ronan hopes that the "Terminator" series will continue to fail as before, to the point where even die-hard movie fans feel like vomiting when they hear the name.
It seems that 20th Century Fox has accumulated a number of top large-scale commercial film projects, which may be released together in the next two or three years.
Two days later, new news about Twentieth Century Fox reached Ronan.
Twentieth Century Fox reached an agreement with Jason Girard, and Jason Girard will become the CEO of Fox Online.
At the same time, Scott-Swift joined a number of shareholders and sent a letter to question Amazon's management.
There are cases in which Disney shareholders are arguing against Disney’s board of directors. In addition, Amazon’s management will not harm 20th Century Fox’s own interests and immediately notify 20th Century Fox and Jason Girard, Jason Girard There is no problem with Lal leaving and joining Fox Online. Please pay a penalty of 60 million US dollars for early leaving.
This money, of course, cannot be paid by Jason Girard, and can only be borne by the digging Twentieth Century Fox.
In the twentieth century, Fox did not have senior management talents involved in the Internet business. Only then did they have to dig people from the outside. With Amazon gritted their teeth, they finally signed their favorite CEO for $60 million.
In this respect, it also shows the determination of Fox in the 20th century to compete with Netflix in Internet business!
Subsequently, Fox announced the new drama plan online.
In addition to the previously tentative "Men" derivative series, there is also a heavyweight series included in the development list of Fox Online!
This is "Terminator Gaiden"!
Twentieth Century Fox took back the filming rights of the sequel to "Terminator" from Warner Bros. after paying $20 million in copyright rebate and $20 million in compensation.
The investment of tens of millions of dollars also prompted 20th Century Fox to increase its determination to further develop the "Terminator Series".
It was also after the news came back that Ronan learned that Twentieth Century Fox still had the copyright to the film and television adaptation of a manuscript of "Terminator" by James Cameron that had never been published.
Therefore, in addition to the "Terminator" sequel movie, Twentieth Century Fox has prepared a TV series plan.
Whether it is a sci-fi movie or a sci-fi drama, wanting to have a slightly better effect means huge capital investment.
In spite of the unexpected situation, Ronan watched all this happen coldly. After all, it is impossible for everything to develop in the direction of the plan.
He doesn't remember ever watching TV series related to "Terminator".
Ronan personally called and asked about James Cameron. The so-called "Terminator" manuscript was just an abandoned first version of the script created by "Terminator 2". After the movie was released, it was directly packaged and bought by 20th Century Fox. The is not his special creation or other literary works.
The content of the manuscript is the first version plot of "Terminator 2" envisioned by James Cameron that year. John Connie is not a child, but an immature young man who is being hunted down by a robot sent by Skynet from the future, Sarah Connor You need to take John Connor to flee, and at the same time train John Connor to be the leader of the future resistance.
This is indeed a rumor of the main storyline of "Terminator".
After Ronan asked about the situation, he just asked Connie's assistant team to keep an eye on the "Terminator" series, and then went to Shahai Entertainment.
As the "Hannah Montana" project has reached an agreement, Shahai Entertainment is also preparing to convene personnel to prepare.
Ronan handed over to Andrew, who was directly in charge, and Steven Pateman, who was the producer and director, for a while, and when he was about to leave Shahai Entertainment, he was stopped by a girl.
