Chapter 1019： pay a visit to
Before the summer vacation arrived, Ronan went to San Francisco to convene Netflix’s board of directors, and determined Netflix’s new investors, including several companies or institutions including the Pacific Investment Fund, in the future. Within this month, he will become a new shareholder of Netflix.
In addition to the five major businesses of DVD online rental and sales, online video, social sharing, Android development and streaming online, Netflix is also preparing to develop new businesses.
The new business is a live webcast, which takes about a year of planning and is expected to be launched in the middle of next year.
At present, Netflix has developed rapidly through crazy money burning. All five major businesses occupy the leading position in the industry. Needless to say, the traditional four major Internet businesses are not only the leaders in their respective industries, but also the distance from the latecomers. The farther.
Android also occupies more than half of the smart phone market, and the other half is occupied by Apple. Nokia insists on the independent development of the Symbian system. Because of the existence of Android, a huge alliance of interests, there are few users.
In the smartphone market, there are already more than 20 smartphones of multiple brands on the market for Android phones.
Thanks to the surge in smartphone sales and the global popularity of the Internet, coupled with Netflix's constant promotion, as of the end of April, Netflix has registered 162.45 million registered users worldwide and nearly 100 million paying users.
The market value of Netflix is advancing toward the goal of $100 billion.
Although after the cross-shareholdings with Conscat and ATamp;T and the capital expansion, Relativity Entertainment’s direct shareholding in Netflix will be reduced to 65 percent, the continued rise in the stock price has made Relativity Entertainment The value of the assets held in hands has further increased.
However, Netflix also has difficulties to face. Since last year, the growth rate of online DVD rental and sales as a business of Netflix has slowed down significantly. It is expected that the growth rate of business volume in 2007 will hardly exceed 5%. The DVD industry Has reached a peak.
Not surprisingly, the DVD industry will gradually go up and down in the future, and the situation in which movies are not as good as discs are sold will change.
Corresponding to the slowdown in the DVD business, Netflix's streaming media business is developing faster and faster.
With the popularization of the Internet, the continuous upgrading of hardware equipment, and the development of technology, Internet-on-demand is becoming an important channel for broadcasting entertainment programs.
Netflix streaming still releases at least one new series every month, which may be a brand-new series or a sequel to a previous hit.
"Shameless", "Lost", "Hannah Montana", "Breaking Bad", "American Horror Story" and "The Walking Dead", which have been launched one after another, have all achieved great success.
Follow-ups include "The Big Bang Theory", "Spartacus", "Stranger Things", "House of Cards" and "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" on Netflix streaming.
As a key project, "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" has finished all filming and is currently undergoing post-production. It will be available on Netflix's streaming media platform as soon as this year.
In contrast, the progress of "House of Cards" is still not hurried, David Fincher continued the style of slow work and meticulous work, how can this series be completed next year.
Formal preparations for "Stranger Things" also began. Ronan saw a familiar name-Saoirse Ronan in the cast list.
This girly-looking child star will be the most important little girl in the series.
Ronan roughly remembers that the former heroine of "Lovely Bones" recommended by Peter Jackson but rejected by him last year was Saoirse Ronan.
Unfortunately, Peter Jackson was born for Tolkien in his life.
In addition to these, Shahai Entertainment is also preparing a new series for Netflix streaming.
The drama production department and the screenwriting department are planning to produce a drama series from official U.S. agencies to Mexico to Colombian drug trafficking organizations based on the increasingly rampant drug trade in the United States in the past two years. It is currently collecting various information and working with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Contacted the FBI.
Because of the huge traffic and number of users of Netflix's streaming media, the two official agencies are very interested in Shahai Entertainment's drama plan and are also interested in cooperating.
As we all know, the official agencies of the United States are always happy to cooperate with Hollywood.
After receiving the support of the US Drug Enforcement Administration and the FBI, Ronan also approved the project after obtaining a lot of first-hand information, and the drama production department of Shahai Entertainment officially named it "Drug Lord".
There have been too many stories on the border between the United States and Mexico, and I don’t know how many are suitable for adaptation into film and television works.
For both sides, seeing each other is annoying.
Mexico is too far from heaven and too close to the United States.
On the second day after returning from San Francisco, Ronan got a data report, "Human Skin Inn 2" was removed from North American theaters, and the final North American box office totaled 47.35 million US dollars.
In addition, Weinstein Pictures won the Oscar for Best Actress in the film "Queen", which was released overseas by Embassy Pictures. With the Oscar effect, the cumulative box office has now reached nearly 45 million US dollars.
Elizabeth II can be said to have many selling points in the Western market, and is definitely one of the most suitable characters for film and television adaptation today.
The queen used her life to redefine the meaning of queen and crown prince.
Every queen has a legendary life, no exception. Her husband cheated, her sister was upset, and his son and his wife didn't worry about it. It was really interesting.
Ronan is also considering whether to adapt it into a TV series based on the life of Queen Elizabeth II.
However, he still took into account William's good relationship that he had been getting along with, and even if it was to be adapted, he would earn royal support.
The difficulty of adapting the life of Queen Elizabeth II is not that big, it takes a long time to plan and communicate with Buckingham Palace in London.
If it is a drama centered on historical figures, the degree of freedom is undoubtedly greater.
After all, most of the historical figures made into film and television works are ancient. Their merits and demerits, anecdotes and anecdotes have been written in history books and lace news, and the controversy will be relatively laughable.
But it is not easy to make a living character into a film and television work.
The historical figure who is still standing at Buckingham Palace, a figure who has witnessed from the 1920s to the present, made her into a drama series. From a certain moment in her life, she has been filming, and she must be prepared in advance. .
Ronan is not suitable to come forward with these matters, and it is more suitable to leave it to Shahai Entertainment to communicate. Even if the conversation with the royal family fails, he can clear up the chaos behind with a word.
In fact, all senior executives have a common talent, and they use them with perfection—let their subordinates take care of themselves.
If you can't even use this trick, you can say that you don't even have the most basic management skills.
In addition to the live-action TV drama project, Shahai Entertainment is also developing animation series with Marvel Entertainment. After George Clint and Kevin Fitch held several creative meetings with Netflix streaming media, they decided to produce "Iron Man 》Animated series, as a supplement between movies, and broadcast on Netflix streaming media as a platform.
In addition, the Hulk, Thor, Black Widow and Captain America will also have animated series behind.
These comic superheroes have also produced cartoons in the past, but this time, under the leadership of Kevin Fitch, they have a clear and unified worldview. Although the animated series will not affect the plot of the movie, they can also be used as a counterpoint to the movie. Content supplement.
For example, the first season of the "Iron Man" animated series will tell how Tony Stark cleaned up the chaos after the battle with Obadier.
The animated series of "Black Widow" can also test the market's response to female superheroes as absolute protagonists before independent films.
The summer file is coming soon, and comic superhero movies are gradually becoming the commercial mainstream. There are three major superhero movies in this summer file, namely "Spider-Man 3", "Hulk" and "Dark Knight".
Two Marvel and one in DC.
The future of "Hulk" is the most uncertain.
Because "Spider-Man 3" is a sequel, the market response needless to say, "The Dark Knight" has a very obvious trend of using the Joker and Heath Ledger to make the gods, and it will only burst after the release.
The second part of the new "Batman" trilogy has not yet been released. It is almost certain that the series will be a big success. After the great success of the God Creation Project, Warner Bros. and DC Comics naturally put the third "Dark Knight Rises" on the agenda. .
Even Warner Bros. is considering continuing to shoot a sequel and then linking it up with the Justice League movie project that is in preparation.
But to achieve this, there is a prerequisite that Warner Bros. can't get around.
Shahai Entertainment, a subsidiary of Relativity Entertainment, has the investment authority for the series. As long as the series continues to be filmed, Shahu Entertainment can maintain more than 40% of the investment share and continue to obtain profit sharing.
The conditions that Ronan personally discussed at the beginning put Warner Bros. into a dilemma. No one thought that the Batman movie that almost killed "Batman and Robin" in the 1990s could be reborn in Christopher Nolan's hands. Glorious.
Especially with the death of Heath Ledger, with the usual Hollywood propaganda style, Warner Bros. almost received a super gift package When Warner Bros. first sent Charles Rowan to discuss with Ronan, Luo Nan was fully prepared to deal with Disney at that time and put forward a few conditions, basically everything can be discussed.
Unexpectedly, there was no news from Warner Bros. until the misfortune of Heath Ledger happened...
But Ronan could no longer give up his investment rights on the same terms when "The Dark Knight" was about to sell out, and then let Shahai Entertainment find all kinds of excuses to dismiss the suggestions discussed by Warner Bros.
Charles Rowan, representing Warner Bros., was stopped by George Clint, and Ronan was not even seen.
The release of "The Dark Knight" is getting closer and closer, and feedback from all aspects shows that "The Dark Knight" will explode. Warner Bros. gradually can't sit still. CEO Kevin Tesuhara comes to the Theory of Relativity Building. , Visit Ronan.
