Chapter 738 Aliens

Many states in the southern United States cannot underestimate the power of conservatives. Even if the entire state has become a mess, it will not easily compromise.

In early February, a 12-person grand jury made a ruling after a series of hearings: There was no definite evidence to prove that the police had the intention to shoot African-American youth, so the jury carefully decided not to prosecute.

The whole United States has been staring at Georgia. After the ruling is announced, the results can be imagined.

On Netflix, which responded the most quickly, there were protests everywhere, and many people called for public protests.

In just one afternoon, Netflix shared became the most active media in the United States. People who care about this matter not only made their own voices, but also took the protests around them into pictures or short videos, and shared them on social software as soon as possible.

After the hustle and bustle of December and the inclination of January, and now it is becoming more and more intense, Netflix sharing not only penetrates into social life, but also gradually changes people's lives.

Using Netflix to share has even become a popular trend.

The situation in Georgia and even the entire United States has begun to become uncontrollable.

After the grand jury announced the ruling, large-scale demonstrations broke out across the United States, and the protests almost affected 90 cities in 34 states in the United States, including several settlements in Canada.

In Los Angeles, it was not just black people protesting rallies. Under the call of Will Smith and Spike Lee, black Hollywood stars took to the streets of the Hollywood area to protest.

As one of the concentrations of the white left in the United States, Hollywood is never short of people who support the black movement.

A large number of Hollywood stars from other ethnic groups participated in the protest, and even for the sake of the white left-wing character, they still had to support the protest.

Will Smith naturally became one of the black leaders in Hollywood.

Hollywood is the focus of public opinion and can naturally attract attention. After the marches and protests in the Hollywood area, large-scale protests quickly spread to nearly 180 cities across the United States.

What ordinary people see is protest and messy social situation, but what those who are interested see is the power of new media.

The Los Angeles Times newspaper, editor-in-chief Connors is browsing his Netflix sharing. Once the latest news is found, people will immediately collect relevant news.

This is a solution that can't be done.

The incident had a great impact, but the number of reporters in the Los Angeles Times was limited. Even if there were special correspondents in each city, there were only two or three, which did not take into account all the places in the city.

Seeing Netflix sharing the news and information constantly refreshing, Connors felt powerless. Although Netflix was not a news media, it spreads news faster than all media and involves a wider range of areas.

Compared with traditional news media, Netflix is ​​simply cheating. More than 20 million users across the United States can all become news discoverers and uploaders.

How to compare traditional media?

The only natural flaw is that there is no threshold for publishing and there are too many fake news to distinguish.

Connors called his deputy.

"What do you think about Netflix sharing?" Connors asked.

The deputy said the truth: "The influence is expanding rapidly and is creating a new way of socializing."

Connors asked again: "You often contact the Internet media, how is Netflix's prospects?"

"The Wall Street evaluation." The deputy said the news he just received: "They think Netflix's sharing will increase to more than 50 million users within the next two years."

Connors nodded slowly: "I have an idea. In the name of the Los Angeles Times, we will set up a Netflix sharing account to establish a closer connection with the Netflix sharing, and will also make people pay attention to the news of the Los Angeles Times at the first time."

The deputy agreed: "Yes, the Internet trend is irreversible, we can only follow the trend, and Netflix's sharing is not a news media, nor is it a direct competitor to us."

"Then decide." Connors was quick to do things: "I know Ronan Anderson, and today I will call him directly."

In just over a week, Ronan was surprised to find that many traditional media have registered accounts on Netflix's sharing and become users of Netflix's sharing.

Ronan never thought of competing directly with these traditional large media, and Netflix would not be involved in the news industry in depth. After communicating with Mark Randolph, he specifically asked Netflix to share it with these media accounts as an official certified identity.

Since the beginning of the New Year, Netflix has shared Netflix streaming media, just like the two locomotives of the Netflix train, pushing and pulling, driving Netflix to develop rapidly at a speed of 200 miles per hour.

By February, Netflix's North American registered users hit a new high, crossing the 25 million mark for the first time.

In addition, all Netflix's businesses are guided by localization in the overseas market, avoiding many detours, and are developing relatively smoothly, with overseas registered users growing rapidly.

"It will be difficult for Netflix to make particularly big progress by relying solely on relativity entertainment."

In the office of Relativity Entertainment, Ronan said to Robert Iger: "The funds we have prepared in our hands and there will be major strategic acquisitions in the future, and it is impossible for them to be all on Netflix."

He said slowly: "If Netflix wants to expand globally, there is only one way to spend money."

Robert Iger fully agrees with Ronan's words: "Netflix's globalization strategy requires more than $5 billion in the next stage, and many problems are not only needed for funds, but also for partners and development platforms."

Ronan nodded: "Only by following the path of financing, Relativity Entertainment also needs partners."

"Wall Street's assessment of Netflix is ​​rising," said Robert Iger. "Netflix has a promising prospect. With the temptation of huge investment returns, Goldman Sachs and his partners will support us, at least for a long time in the future."

Ronan reminded: "Don't relax your vigilance on Wall Street."

Robert Iger said very seriously: "I know who they are, and I never relax with them. Ronan, Wall Street is strong, but as long as we can create enough value for their investment, they will be on our side."

He smiled: "Don't forget, we have more than just Wall Street financing channels, we also have the Pacific Investment Foundation."

The Pacific Investment Foundation has a broad overseas financing channel, which is incomparable to the large investment banks on Wall Street, but it also has relatively strong working capital.

At the beginning of this year, a number of financing projects of the Pacific Investment Foundation expired. Without delaying any delay, the foundation returned the principal and dividends of all investors.

Good reputation, stable investment returns are all attracting new investments.

Investments from South Korea, island countries, Netflix and Indians continue.

In addition, Scott Swift recently went to Brazil and Mexico, where there were new prospective investors.

Just like many investment institutions on Wall Street, once fame and credibility are made, it will be relatively easier to attract new investments.

“We need a lot of money to plan for the next step,” said Robert Iger. “In addition to the cash flow of Relativity Entertainment Group and the financing of the Pacific Investment Foundation, I have communicated with Bank of America, and they will provide high loans to Relativity Entertainment as long as we need it.”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Bob, please let go of your hands and feet."

Robert Eiger said: "Some occasions, some people, you come forward better than me."

"I understand." Ronan said calmly: "You can notify me at any time when you need me."

The two discussed for a long time.

After Robert Eiger left, Ronan called Allen Horn and agreed to go play golf together in the afternoon.

The Disney Pictures co-chairman has been in a state of turmoil lately because after taking over the Disney Pictures mess, the board of directors has given him a new responsibility to take charge of Disney animation studios.

For example, live-action movie shooting is not just a mess.

But Disney's board of directors revitalizes the reputation of Disney animation studios.

Hand-drawn animations are completely outdated, and Disney animation is no longer the Disney animation studio ten years ago.

Today's Disney action studios are all supported by old movies.

Then, Ronan went to meet Harvey Weinstein again. Miramax did not have heavyweight works this awards season. The "Spring of the Cattle Grazing Class" he bought was destined to be in North America, so he naturally would not invest more in the Oscars.

The most important thing is Ronan, please try to find out how long the Weinstein brothers can last at Miramax.

It was not easy for Michael Eisner to kick these two people away directly. When Walt Disney acquired Miramax, it was far less powerful than it is now. It adopted a cash and merger method. The Weinstein brothers are also shareholders of Walt Disney and hold a lot of Disney equity.

Unfortunately, Disney is now in constant civil strife, no powerful works are released, and the stock price continues to decline, causing shareholders to complain.

The former Disney gradually returned to normal after Robert Iger came to power in 2006.

Ronan poached Robert Iger and was still waiting to continue digging Disney's corner.

This year will be the best opportunity.

During this period, Ronan went to the Super Bowl at the invitation of Tom Cruise. The New England Patriots defeated the Hawks and won the Super Bowl trophy of the year.

A quarterback named Tom Brady was in charge of the game.

In the stands where many celebrities and wealthy people gathered, Ronan saw Gisele Bonchen.

This super model who has steadily reached the front line is an alien sitting next to him - Ronaldo!

It is not the letter Rod from Manchester United, but the one who is called alien by Robson.
