Chapter 877 Fox Online

When Steven Petman left, Ronan left a script and a plan, which clearly released a signal, and Relativity Entertainment had the intention to cooperate.

Faced with this Hollywood experience, there is no need to hide it. Both parties will negotiate with normal market conditions as the standard.

He found Connie, asked his assistant to copy the script and plan, and transferred to Shahai Entertainment, and began negotiations with Steven Patman as soon as possible.

Previously, Disney was a long-term partner, and Steven Petman had not considered cooperating with other companies. Now, Disney's civil strife has caused problems in its own operation. With Steven Petman's years of experience in his career, if the relativity entertainment has been considered for too long, Steven Petman is very likely to turn to other cooperative companies.

Because of Robert Eiger's relationship, Steven Petman appeared in front of him with "Hannah Montana", so Ronan certainly would not miss it.

Such a scene musical seems brainless, but when it works well, its profitability is even more terrifying than an average popular plot.

Just talk about "Hannah Montana". Once the series becomes popular, it can produce original soundtracks, movies, and even concerts can be held in the name of Hannah Montana.

Ronan has never watched a musical, but because of a female friend, he watched "Good Girl Is a Big Star". Miley Cyrus, who played Hannah Montana, was very popular.

Otherwise, camel toes would not have spread so widely.

However, it is not easy to successfully operate such a series. In addition to music creation, the main characters in it also need to have good singing standards.

Ronan remembers that it seems that the actress who plays the heroine's father and daughter in the movie seems to be Miley Cyrus and daughter in reality.

You can find it.

Of course, Ronan would not put his hope on one person, and would also make other preparations. After all, it is never difficult to find an actor in Hollywood.

Even a girl actor with a certain singing level.

With Robert Eiger in the match, Shahai Entertainment and Steven Patman made a very fast contact. After several negotiations, a preliminary oral agreement was reached.

Compared with the chaotic Disney, stable Relativity Entertainment is also a good partner.

Moreover, for Steven Patman, the reward given by Relativity Entertainment is only higher than that of Walt Disney.

Ronan also received a report from Connie and did not find an actor or singer named Miley Cyrus.

Because of the "camel toe", Ronan is very sure that he has remembered the name correctly, so there is only one possibility. Miley Cyrus doesn't know where the state is nested.

Such things cannot be forced, and relativity entertainment cannot consume a lot of resources. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find an actor.

Luo Nan is not a person who doesn’t know how to adapt. After the project is negotiated, Shahai Entertainment will be openly selected.

Situation comedy has always had a market in North America and even the entire West, and is often a typical example of small inputs and large outputs.

Of course, this refers to the beginning stage.

In the later stages, the pay of the main creators has always been a big problem.

Especially group shows.

For example, in "Friends", in addition to the ratings reasons, the end of this series also has six protagonists whose pay is too high, which is so high that the producers can't bear it.

Shahai Entertainment also has a sitcom project, which has been named "The Big Bang Them".

Since Ronan has basically never watched the specific content of this series, he only proposed the creativity and direction, and the series was completely left to the professional screenwriter team.

At present, the publishing of the script has been completed. After reading it, Ronan was generally satisfied. While allowing the screenwriter team to continue to polish the script, it also put the formal preparations for this project on the agenda.

As long as there are no big surprises, Netflix streaming will not lack high-quality dramas in the future.

In late September, at Ronan's suggestion, Netflix's board of directors approved a brand new acquisition, which Netflix Video acquired the newly established oil pipe for $47.8 million.

Netflix, the number one in the online video industry, acquired the second-ranked company in the same industry. The video business, which was originally the most vulnerable among all Netflix's major businesses, has been further enhanced.

The company only existed for five months from the first 19-second video upload on April 23 to the full acquisition by Netflix Video.

Netflix Video, which swallowed the oil pipe, has become a website with 40 million short videos and attracts more than 8 million people to browse every day.

This number even exceeds Yahoo's traffic.

In addition, since Netflix Video is a business of Netflix Network and not a separate company, there is no need to worry about some copyright troubles.

As we all know, when netizens make videos, they often use certain movies or mv clips, which involves copyright issues.

After years of hard work, Netflix Network has reached a content authorization and protection agreement with other large and medium-sized companies besides Hollywood, except for Twentieth Century Fox, including Universal Records, Sonybmg, Warner Music, CBS, etc., which can completely relieve the market's doubts that content suppliers may pursue infringing content and escalate legal actions.

After the acquisition was completed, at a senior meeting of Netflix Network, Ronan also mentioned proposals on exploring and investigating the online live broadcast industry.

Of course this is not the current business, but the preparation for the future.

Netflix Network is the leader in its respective industries, but if it wants to keep it, it must maintain sufficient development speed instead of standing still.

Those who stand still, don't want to run but want to fall behind, whether they are veterans or not, will find a way to kick them out.

Where can I talk about business operations so many affectionately?

Even after listing, Ronan still owns absolute controlling stake in Netflix Network, and for now, all major investors are strong supporters of him.

Because Ronan can best guarantee their investment returns.

But Netflix Network is not without competitors.

Ronan held a new board of directors of Netflix in San Francisco and just returned to Los Angeles, he saw a news in the media.

The 20th Century Fox, which has been rumored to have made the latest progress in entering the Internet.

News Corporation and 20th Century Fox jointly convened a press conference to officially announce the launch of Fox online.

Not only that, Fox Online has also obtained the Internet license of film and television dramas from most medium and large film companies, including the six major Hollywood companies.

Hollywood movies have never been exclusive licenses. For film companies, it is a good thing to continue selling copyrights and create another profit. Why not do it?

Of course, the authorization of Relativity Entertainment and DreamWorks, Fox Online does not.

Fox Online has almost copied Netflix streaming's operating model, using on-demand payment and monthly fee, but the monthly fee is $3 lower than Netflix streaming.

“It looks lower than Netflix’s monthly streaming fee.”

In the office, Connie, who had learned about Fox Online in detail, reported to Ronan: "But Fox Online does not provide users with DVD online rental business."

Ronan was using a computer to view the content of Fox Online, clicking on "The True Lies" at will, and said: "Didn't Fox Online broadcast a new drama exclusively?"

Connie thought for a while and said, "Originally, Twenty-Century Fox plans to broadcast the latest season of the popular series "Twenty-Four Hours of Counter-Terrorism" on Fox Online, but it was strongly opposed by Fox TV. There are rumors that Fox TV and Fox Online's senior executives directly quarreled at internal meetings."

Ronan could roughly guess why this is. The appearance of Fox Online is too far away to hit Netflix. The first thing to move is the cake inside Fox.

The most typical one is Fox TV.

The new drama is exclusively broadcast online for Fox. What would Fox TV think?

The contradiction between old and new media is simply unavoidable.

Relativity Entertainment has no TV network, which is a major flaw, but it is also an advantageous condition for Netflix's business to be able to develop rapidly.

Because there will be no internal constraints.

Connie continued: "It is said that after 20th Century Fox's internal coordination, TV series projects that already exist or are about to be launched within Fox will not be the first to log in to Fox Online, but will only be able to enter Fox Online after the first round of the TV station has been broadcasted."

"That's it?" Ronan moved his mouse and chose the most clarity version of "The True Lies" to play: "The Twentieth Century Fox isn't preparing a new drama for Fox Online?"

Connie said: "At present, I can only get some gossip, saying that Twentieth Century Fox is interested in developing a spin-off series of "X-Men" to be played through Fox's online Ping** home."

When Ronan heard "X-Men", he frowned slightly, and this series supported half of the Fox movie business.

Thinking about a few years ago, Marvel was so poor that he sold his son, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and was in a great mood.

But now? Thinking of the prodigal behavior of Marvel's bastards, my anger was a little furious!

This is really the butt determines the head, and interests determines the position of the butt.

After more than ten seconds of buffering and waiting, the "Real Lies" on the computer screen began to play. Ronan only took a look and confirmed that the clarity was different from Netflix streaming media.

This is actually not a gap in video clarity, but a gap in technology.

"Where is the investment?" Ronan continued to ask.

"Very high!" Connie said: "Because Netflix's streaming business is booming, the authorization obtained by 20th Century Fox has at least doubled compared to our original ones. Website design and technical support are solved through acquisitions and patent licensing in Silicon Valley. There are definite news that Fox Online can be launched and 20th Century Fox's investment will not be less than $1.2 billion."

Ronan no longer watches videos because he has only been watching for a few minutes, and the clarity of "The True Lies" has been buffered again.

"It's too anxious." Ronan whispered.
