"QB! You can't do this! "The Mind Catcher" also has your investment!"

Harvey's voice on the other side of the phone was a little sharp.

"Have, wait for me to check it out first. It's impossible to surpass it! And it's 99% so exaggerated!"

The more anxious you are, the less familiar the windows interface will be.

"Listen, Harvey, I'm sure that's the score given by the critics. If you want it to be reduced, you have to have it. I'll calculate... More than 30 certified critics can give Rotten Tomatoes!

Harvey, in order to maintain the 90% positive review rate of "The Mind Catcher", I have asked them to remove the certification qualifications of 4 film critics. The excuse is qualification review. Now that "The Mind Catcher" has been released for three weeks, I can't continue to delay. In theory, the ratings of each movie will gradually decline. We just need to keep at a relatively high position. It is impossible to maintain an absolute high position forever..."

The web page finally opened. In the "Rotten Tomatoes" website, the highest rating is no longer "The Mind Catcher", but "Los Angeles Secret" with a "freshness" of 99%.

Many films will not allow critics to make big judgments before they are released, because doing so will likely affect the audience's judgment and lose the box office.

The new film "Los Angeles Confidential" that Warner, which will be released in September, is an exception. Since it was released in Cannes in May, the reviews have long been released.

Therefore, when it officially entered the promotional period, "Rotten Tomatoes" took the initiative to invite or the other party applied for it and was verified as a "film critic", 250 critics commented on "Los Angeles Confidential". The summary "freshness" was as high as 99%, and only two gave "rotten" bad reviews, and the rest of the critics were all "fresh" good reviews.

This is the movie with the highest "freshness" of the upcoming films since it was launched in May. Bai Quinn couldn't imagine that this would happen. No wonder Harvey called to question him. Maybe he suspected that he had done something.

Please, even if you can do something, you won’t dare to be blatant!

Randy played a supporting role in this retro-style film of the fifties. Mr. Victor's fund has investments in this film. If they need it, Bai Quinn will indeed help, but he will not blame for what he hasn't done.

"Okay, Harvey, I looked at it. This is indeed real data. I have no choice. There is also the relationship between "Rotten Tomatoes" and me. Few people in Hollywood know about it. Don't go out and talk nonsense!

We are good guys, Harvey! I have helped you get a $13 million investment from Mr. Victor, and if "Shapes Love History" is not guaranteed to finish the film...

OK, man, goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Bai Quinn began to think.

The website "Rotten Tomatoes" is becoming more and more popular, and almost every new film released now has Rotten Tomatoes for advertising.

Tang Sen and others outlawed Bai Quinn's idea of ​​"a flash of inspiration" and made a special page for every cooperative "release and upcoming" video. After clicking in, there are not only selected reviews, but also film introductions, cast lists, and some behind-the-scenes photos.

If you don’t pay for promotion, you can only wait until it is released and give a simple introduction page, just like those past historical videos.

The advantage is that this film review website with only more than a dozen formal employees and hundreds of part-time employees responsible for entering data has achieved profits on book revenue and expenditure. Perhaps the investments of Bai Quinn and Sayed can be recovered without waiting for the company to go public.

Moreover, due to the first-mover advantage, it is difficult for similar competitors to catch up. "Rotten Tomatoes" are crazy money-burning behavior in the early stage of acquiring customers. Few companies dare to do this. Even Yahoo, who is not short of money, has to consider whether the money can achieve corresponding results after spending.

The downside is that "rotten tomatoes" was the news that Bai Quinn invested, and many people know that Bai Quinn had received several calls like Harvey who actively asked for care and scores, either famous directors or big producers, but Bai Quinn's "care" cannot be too blatant.

After all, "rotten tomatoes" are evaluation platforms that rely on credibility. If they are caught in the handle of "evaluation control", they will know their fate.

Rejection will always offend people.

Perhaps you should introduce an external investment and transfer your shares of yourself and Sayed to the name of an overseas investment company that is not easy to be found. This will not only reduce some trouble, but will also avoid taxes in the future.

In fact, the popularity of "rotten tomatoes" has aroused the jealousy of some people.

A few days ago, some media criticized Rotten Tomatoes for racial discrimination, saying that people of color were rejected when they went to the company for an interview.

At first, Bai Quinn was confused. Three founders of shares, Tang Sen, Peric Lee and Steve Wang, are all pure Asians, with no mixed race at all. How could they still cause racial discrimination?

Later I learned that the entire company, except for the Mexican aunts who cleaned the sanitation, are all Asians, and at least Asian mixed-race!

Bai Quinn had nothing to say about this, and could only ask the three Berkeley top students to recruit more editors and programmers from other ethnic groups, and at least one or two black people.

Compared to the group of young people with Rotten Tomatoes, Flash is much more worry-free. Bai Quinn doesn’t have to worry about daily operations at all, but Flash’s ability to burn money is dozens of times that of Rotten Tomatoes.

The 10 million US dollars invested by Janus Investment Fund is expected to be maintained until the end of the year, which means that new funds and investors must be introduced before the end of the year.

Adobe's valuation of Flash in April was US$200 million, and at that time, the Flash website that netizens could upload was not yet online.

The size of a Flash video in about three minutes is about 1-5m. A normal 56kb/second network can be downloaded within 20 seconds to two minutes, and then automatically start playback.

With the support of Flash, Flash1.0 animation production tools are more popular. Not only are they used by professional website design, but thousands of netizens can also use this set of tools to draw the creativity in their minds. They do not need to build their own websites to upload their works. They only need to log in to Flash to share their creativity with thousands of netizens.

The most popular series of animations on Flash is a "Damn George" series created by a Canadian netizen named John K. It tells the daily life of "Red Neck" George and his stupid nephew Jimmy, as well as other family and friends. The dialogue is funny, sarcastic and spicy, and is very popular among netizens. Every day, thousands of netizens leave messages under John K's account to ask him to be as soon as possible.

So Flash's valuation is now more than US$200 million.

According to Bai Quinn's plan, it is best to develop Flash 2.0 with interactive functions before the second financing, which means that you can use Flash software to make games, and the company's valuation will roll upwards.

But can this goal be achieved on time?

Should I find some ways to push Andy Rubin and Jonathan?

Whose money will be used for the second round of investment?

adobe, Microsoft, and Apple have all proposed acquisition invitations.

In fact, adobe and Apple are the same company. When Apple proposed the acquisition, it happened to be when Jobs returned to Apple. In addition, he is the largest individual shareholder of Adobe. Bai Quinn has reason to believe that the acquisition intentions of both companies are dominated by Jobs.

So, Microsoft or Apple?

Both companies are big companies with the ability to make their own Flash, and it is impossible to sit idly by and watch Flash grow bigger. Therefore, it is best to invest in one of them and sell part of Flash's shares to it during the second round of financing.

As the saying goes, it’s time to enjoy the cool under the big trees.

However, there is not much time left for Bai Quinn to make a choice...

"Dear, what are you thinking?"

Liv Taylor hugged him from behind, and secretly wondered in his heart that Harvey's phone call came at a bad time.

"Nothing, some small business matters."

Bai Quinn got rid of the troubles of those Internet companies and turned around to concentrate on dealing with the little fairy in front of him.

Sarah was also filming the second season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" in Los Angeles. Quinn Bai took advantage of the opportunity to come to New York to manage the big machine record business and mingled with Liv Taylor every day. Unfortunately, apart from the pleasure of her body, she did not inspire new song memory fragments.
