In just ten days, the North American box office of "Resident Evil 3" was close to $50 million, and the global box office exceeded $90 million. Coupled with the online and offline revenue of the previous two films, its revenue in movies has far exceeded that of the game.

Benefits are touching, this is an eternal truth.

The game production company Capcom not only found Sandhai Entertainment, but also contacted Ronan specifically to talk to him.

Ronan received Griano at the Relativity Building.

This is a mixed-race Japanese who speaks in the style of an islander: "Please disturb me, please forgive me, Mr. Anderson."

Ronan shook his hand and said, "Sit as you like." Then he asked, "I don't know that Mr. Griano is here this time..."

Griano smiled and said, "We have been working on the adaptation of Resident Evil movies. I'm here this time to work for future collaboration."

Ronan pretended not to understand what he meant and said, "I remember that the second contract signed by Shahai Entertainment with Capcom at that time was clear about the authorization and revenue sharing. Moreover, before each sequel started filming, Shahai Entertainment would renegotiate the surrounding revenue sharing with Capcom in accordance with the contract regulations."

"The credibility of Sand Sea Entertainment and Relativity Entertainment is impeccable." Griano has always had a polite and implicit smile: "Capcon is also very satisfied."

Luo Nan nodded slightly: "So, don't you want to talk to me about the new share clauses of "Resident Evil 4"?"

Griano said quickly: "I dare not disturb Mr. Anderson for this little thing."

Ronan turned to look at him and said, "Relativity Entertainment and Capcom have been working with for many years and are long-term partners. If you have any requests, just say it."

Griano paused for a moment, as if he was organizing the language: "It was about film and television copyright. Capcom and Samuel Hadida signed a film adaptation license. Samuel Hadida then cooperated with Shahai Entertainment, and the copyright was in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, but at that time it was only the adaptation license of "Resident Evil 1".

Ronan reminded: "But before and after the filming of "Resident Evil 1", Shahai Entertainment reached an agreement with you and obtained the copyright for the series of film and television adaptations."

"Capcom has no other meaning and has no objection to the contract between us." Griano quickly explained: "Precisely because all film and television adaptations are in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, Capcom wants to adapt the "Resident Evil" animated film, so he wants to get the authorization for the animated film."

Ronan understood what he meant: "Capcom wants to shoot an animated movie?"

"Yes." Griano said: "Create with computer cg animation."

After thinking about it for a moment, Ronan couldn't help but think of the dispute between Marvel Entertainment and Twentieth Century Fox on "Fantastic Four". It was not a wise choice to have a complete quarrel with the original worker, especially the original worker who was still making games.

"I agree in principle." Ronan quickly made a decision.

Griano quickly said, "Thank you, thank you Mr. Anderson for your support and understanding."

How could Ronan give in vain? He said: "Don't be busy thanking me first. Shahai Entertainment returned the copyright of the animation movie to Capcom. There is a condition that Capcom will give up the share of the movie."

"This..." Griano couldn't agree.

Ronan added: "Shahai Entertainment will not ask for any profit sharing about the "Resident Evil" animated film."

Griano thought for a while and said, "I can't decide on this. I need to go back and discuss it before replying to you."

Ronan is not in a hurry: "It's okay."

The meeting between the two sides ended here, and Griano immediately said goodbye and left the Relativity Building.

Ronan called Robert Lee and George Clint respectively and briefly communicated about the matter.

What I just mentioned is just asking for a huge price, and Capcom will definitely pay it back locally later.

If Capcom wants to revoke the copyright of animated movies, he must make some compromises, and Relativity Entertainment will also make appropriate concessions.

Due to the particularity of the copyright of the "Resident Evil" series coming to Shahai Entertainment, it is impossible to buy out the copyright of the series at one time when negotiations between the two parties, resulting in the sharing of the profits of the sequel that each piece must be renegotiated before the project is established.

Ronan's goal is very clear. Capcom's profit sharing in the "Resident Evil" series will be maintained at the standard of the third part in the future, rather than increasing one by one with the sequel.

Although the box office of the "Resident Evil" series is not high, the reputation is also very bad. It is almost scolded by game fans so much that it can't be raised, but its performance in the offline rental market has always been very outstanding.

For example, last year, in 2005, the first and second parts were added together, and in the offline markets in Europe and the United States, it brought a total of US$35.62 million in revenue to Relativity Entertainment.

Luo Nan now sees it very clearly that the "Resident Evil" series was able to be filmed one after another, relying on the offline market operation.

If you rely solely on the box office, Constantine Pictures would not know how much it would be to lose at that time.

The filming of the "Resident Evil" series has brought considerable benefits to Relativity Entertainment. Although its reputation has been bad, as long as it can maintain a certain degree of profit, Ronan will still trust Paul Anderson and Milla Jovovich.

To be honest, with the current development and scale of relativity entertainment, Ronan could no longer devote a lot of energy to the sequel to a successful series of movies.

For Hollywood, and even for any film company, continuing along the existing successful model is the least risky way of operating.

Looking at the entire Hollywood, how many directors can shoot sequels better than the first one?

In late March, Robert Lee settled the negotiations with Capcom, and the two sides signed another supplementary agreement on Resident Evil.

The copyright of the animation "Resident Evil" is returned to Capcom by Shahai Entertainment. At the same time, the profit sharing of Capcom will be maintained at the second part of all related sequels filmed by Shahai Entertainment since "Resident Evil 3".

This is better than Ronan's expected result. As for the moment, it directly reduces the revenue share of the fourth part by 10%.

From a long-term perspective, if the subsequent series of market revenue goes smoothly, it may mostly bring tens of millions of dollars in profits to Relativity Entertainment.

After all, as the sequels are filmed one by one, Capcom's revenue share will inevitably continue to grow.

At the same time, Ronan also received another good news, and Netflix Network's global registered users officially reached 100 million!

Netflix announced this good news through Netflix sharing.

Since its listing last year, Netflix Network has comprehensively strengthened its business publicity and operations in North America with relatively sufficient financial support, and at the same time vigorously explored overseas markets.

Netflix leasing is a basic business and is also the most guaranteed business with Netflix's revenue.

In February this year, PepsiCo only had less than 1,300 rental stores in the world, and Netflix Leasing is already the world's largest film and television rental business.

Traditional leasers led by PepsiCo are unable to stop the rapid decline. Even if they launch Internet rental business, they are just struggling.

It is said that Viacom has wanted to sell PepsiCo several times, but finding a takeover is not easy.

Netflix Sharing is the world's number one social media, especially with the expansion of the smartphone market, the number of users is also increasing rapidly.

Online social networking is becoming a popular social trend.

After Netflix Video acquired the second largest online video company, Youtube, its business expanded rapidly, and many self-made videos have become popular among netizens. Especially after Deye turned from a spontaneous video maker to the male lead of the wilderness program signed by Shahai Entertainment, it inspired many latecomers.

For example, there is currently a very popular Canadian boy on Netflix video.

In order to allow more people to see his performance, the boy and his mother uploaded many homemade videos of cover songs through Netflix videos, which were sought after by many netizens.

As for Netflix streaming, which has the latest business development, it is also quite popular now.

Sufficient film library resources, high-quality solo dramas, and exciting "rare watching" mode all attract more and more viewers.

Starting from January this year, Netflix Streaming has a brand new exclusive drama launched every month.

The three dramas "Prison Break 2", "Survival in the Wild 2" and "Lost" have attracted many new and old users to watch, but they still have a very high reputation.

Although it ended in just two seasons, "Prison Break 2" won a better reputation than continuing to shoot the sequel, and Dwayne Johnson's appeal has also been greatly improved.

Needless to say, Bell Griers has become the spokesperson for this kind of show after two consecutive seasons of "Survival in the Wild", and many words have become buzzwords.

For example, "chicken flavor", such as rich in protein, such as magical modifications, "What can't kill you will only make you stronger", etc.

"Lost" also received unanimous praise, both in terms of on-demand times and in terms of audience reputation, it is the first-class level.

In the future, Netflix streaming will still have new exclusive dramas launched every month, and more exclusive dramas are also being filmed and produced.

This series of good news, plus the number of registered users exceeding 100 million, at the end of March, Netflix Network's stock rose all the way, and its overall market value reached US$60 billion!

As the industry expected, Netflix Network's stock price is rising.

Although there is still a gap compared to those traditional large companies, from finance to the Internet to ordinary investors, everyone is optimistic about the future development of Netflix Network.

The Internet is the focus of future business development, and this has been recognized by the whole society.

However, in order to achieve the rapid development of the Internet, it is not enough to have network technology and number of users, and it also needs matching hardware equipment.

Especially handheld mobile smart devices.

Netflix Network's Android is cooperating with many mobile phone manufacturers, and related Android system smartphones are also being launched one after another, which will be an important part of handheld smart devices in the future.

Another important part is Apple.
