Chapter 303: A Chance to Meet
"There have been a lot of calls from users asking if we have any video of "Prison Break". β
"I hope that Mr. Wang can communicate with HBO and allow Netflix to push this TV series into the video market as soon as possible. β
"This has a very big effect on attracting the original Blockbuster users. β
"To this end, we are willing to increase the share by a certain amount. β
The next morning, as soon as Wang gradually arrived at the office, he received a call from Mr. Reed, the founder of Netflix.
Because the company has just been established and there is competition from industry giants, it is in the weakest position among the three parties of co-production.
Of course, the strongest is naturally HBO, which has been established for several years and has a group of bloody, violent enthusiasts as loyal viewers.
Wang gradually hung up the phone and touched his forehead with his hand.
But in this way, it will undoubtedly affect the follow-up on-demand of users, and HBO will most likely not agree. β
This Mr. Reed can be regarded as a person who has been in business for many years.
How could such a fanciful request be made?
You must know that after "Prison Break" was broadcast on the TVB network, Netflix only released the videotape step by step.
HBO's TV series with the highest on-demand rate are certainly not as good as the TV series with average ratings on the three major TV networks.
"Could it be... What easter eggs are added to the last episode that make the audience love it so much? So much so that this old-school businessman has to put down his face?"
He called his subordinates to ask for the final number of HBO subscribers.
While turning on the computer, I was ready to watch the last episode for myself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he logged on to the page, Wang gradually was a little dumbfounded.
The original promotional page where Miller and a group of strong wrestlers looked at each other had been completely replaced.
In the new picture, Miller is staring at the federal prison with the U.S. Capitol in the background.
Behind him, a man in a suit and a pen in his hand loomed.
The most important thing is...
"This personβ" Wang gradually put down his coffee cup and took a few minutes to confirm.
How... So much like yourself?!
"I'm not a celebrity," he pouted as he clicked play, "It's better than a well-known wrestler." β
After roughly watching the last episode, Wang Gradual's expression became even more confused.
This is basically the same as the script I know!
"Mr. Wang," the subordinate hurried to the office, holding a fax in his hand.
"The number of subscribers to the last episode has exceeded one million!"
whatοΌ
Wang gradually took the data and looked at it.
Although this drama has already broken the record. β
"But the number of millions of subscribers has almost doubled the original record, right?"
What is the reason for the leapfrog growth in subscribers?
Wang gradually tapped his fingers on the table, and began to restore the recent events.
"The U.S. government... You can't really be so hated, right?" he muttered as he looked at the abruptly changed promotional page.
"Tom," Wang gradually picked up the internal phone and dialed it, "find a way to find out why the audience of the last episode of "Prison Break" subscribed. β
If it's really because of yourself, then...
Wang gradually thought about it, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.
At the same time, HBO's executives were also very surprised by the subscription data of "Prison Break".
"Yesterday it was only half of Friends, and now it's almost two-thirds!"
The deputy director looked at the backstage after a day of fermentation and muttered to himself.
"Is this still HBO, which can roughly determine the trend and grow slowly in the future?"
"Haha," the person in charge of the project said excitedly, "Although it is not as good as "Friends" and "Anomaly", it is almost the same as "Raymond"!"
The director looked at the excited crowd, and there was a rare smile on the poker face.
In any case, it is a miracle that cable TV can produce a TV series that meets the renewal standard of TVB!
What's more, "Prison Break" can not only meet the renewal criteria!
"We have a contract with the website and a prison break series?" the director turned his head and looked at the deputy director.
"Yes. The deputy director replied categorically.
That...
"If that TV series can reproduce the glory of this show. β
"You can't be, the emperor of HBO!"
But the assistant who came in a hurry interrupted the director's fantasy.
"Mr. Woodward, come and visit you. β
Wood?
The director's brows furrowed slightly.
As a senior media person, he still has a certain understanding of what happened some time ago.
"We're going to have a good relationship with Wang now, not this outdated old fellow!" the director replied casually, pursing the corners of his lips.
"However, Mr. Wood said that he has a way to let Mr. Wang gradually make a cameo in a drama!"
Well?
The director's eyebrows were slightly raised.
In a sense, that's what worries him as well.
When the contract was signed, who would have thought that a best-selling author would have such a strong appeal from a TV audience!
"Invite him to the conference room!" replied the director.
So for the next half hour, the legendary reporter could only drink coffee while waiting in the HBO conference room, which he once looked down on.
However, Wood had expected this situation for a long time.
So, I don't particularly mind.
"From what I know of the best-selling author, he probably doesn't have much of a tolerant virtue. β
Despite the art world, there is no shortage of young, eccentric geniuses.
Can you have your own status to ask to see a teenager who is only 18 years old, and then be kicked out?
"Then I might as well retire quietly!"
Fortunately, in his hands, he still has a little bit of information that can be of some effect to Wang Yan.
"Although for unknown reasons, Prince Charles probably did not provide the writer with information about the church. β
Otherwise, with the current national attention, he should go to the church to reconcile. β
By the way, the church in the new book "King Arthur" is designated as Catholic. β
"Change the content again, and the church is no longer evil, but positive. β
You must know that in the United States, although Catholicism has a group of die-hard believers, there is no good way to proselytize.
A well-known writer who converted to Catholicism and promoted it.
If in his works, he denigrates other religions.
The Vatican, most likely, will treat the past as if it never happened.
"Mr. Wood," the director smiled as he walked into the room, "sorry, a little too busy." β
"It doesn't matter. Wood shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchalantly.
"I heard that you can get Mr. Wang to agree to continue to make a cameo?" The director asked straight to the point: "Did you master something in your previous work?"
"You don't need to know that. Wood stood up and replied with a smile, "You just need to provide me with a chance to meet him." β
