Chapter 721 Mobile Client
Actors are also an important resource in Hollywood, and Ronan remembers a few things about Jessica Chastain, an actress who was once the epitome of hard work and dedication in Hollywood.
If some of the circumstances in retrospect are true, this one is also like Jessica Felton at a glance, belonging to the real feminism.
Once, as a Juilliard professional, it took nearly ten years to become famous, and it was not easy to think about it.
Without a background, lack of care and support from big people, and a lack of luck, it is really difficult to succeed.
When she became famous, the model worker sister was also old.
Ronan asked Connie to gather information about Jessica Chastain, and there are suitable roles in the back to give proper consideration to the actress.
If nothing else, at least let Shahai Entertainment sign a long-term contract with her.
In addition, the information collected shows that Jessica Chastain used to be really called Jessica Howard, she grew up with her mother and stepfather, and no one in the outside world knows who her biological father is.
Add to that a somewhat similar appearance to Bryce Dallas Howard, and it's easy to conjure.
For example, a certain singer in the East was rumored to be an illegitimate child because of his iconic big nose......
As the weekend rolls around, Embassy Pictures has a number of films ready for the awards season, and another seed player is on the field, with "Eavesdropping Storm" opening in Los Angeles on the scale of five theaters in order to get a ticket to the Oscars.
Embassy Pictures has already applied for an Oscar for this film, and in order to concentrate the already small amount of resources, it has only applied for the selection of one Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Thanks to many awards for best film, such as the European Film Awards, the Italian David Award, the Berlin Golden Bear and the French César Award, "Eavesdropping Storm" still attracted a small American audience.
Although it is only a small group, it is not a problem to fill five theaters.
In its first weekend in North America, "Eavesdropping Storm" averaged nearly $30,000 per theater and earned more than $14 in five theaters.
That's a very good result for a European film, or a non-English film.
Because of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the film could only have English subtitles, not replace the original German version with English dubbing.
Overseas films came to the North American market, and there was basically no replacement.
After the first movie weekend of "Eavesdropping", the critics received an explosion of praise, and Rotten Tomatoes collected nearly 60 professional film reviews, almost all of which were positive, and the freshness was as high as 95%.
The media reputation is also overwhelming, and dozens of media invited by Embassy Pictures have scored the film 89 points.
For mainstream Western thought, this film is really extremely politically correct.
The influence of political correctness at the Oscars can never be overlooked.
Even, this has become a more critical award criterion that goes far beyond the quality of the film.
This kind of film about the theme of human freedom has always been the favorite of the Oscars.
The key films of Embassy Pictures this awards season are "Crash" and "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and the investment in "Eavesdropping Storm" is limited, and the good reputation and suitable subject matter are also conducive to the film to hit the Best Foreign Language Film award.
Ronan's attention is not on "Eavesdropping Storm" and has turned to the Netflix network.
After nearly a year of preparation and more than half a year of negotiations, Netflix reached an agreement with Motorola and Samsung, and Netflix's mobile client will become a pre-installed program for both companies' smartphones.
Businesses such as Netflix Video, Netflix Rental, and Netflix Streaming will not start until next year.
And the most promising Netflix shared, the first to go public, becoming a pioneer.
If the response is good, starting in January next year, Netflix will share the micro-end, and it will be linked to other business segments one after another.
Due to the market popularity brought about by the high price of smartphones, mobile apps will certainly not be able to spread as quickly as social micro-terminals once were.
But the first-mover advantage, as well as the exclusivity agreements signed with the two major phone manufacturers, will also give Netflix a big step ahead of its competitors.
Ronan has been eyeing the social, video, and streaming markets.
It's still the age of blogs, Twitter doesn't know where it is, Netflix is independent, YouTube can't be found at all, and it shouldn't have been established yet; and the streaming media business doesn't even have a related concept in the market except Netflix.
The free travel and immediacy shared by Netflix have attracted many celebrities to settle in, and Hollywood, which has always been at the forefront of the trend, needless to say, even many well-known figures in the commercial street and political circles have taken the initiative to open accounts.
For example, the real estate developer surnamed Tang in New York is now an active user of Netflix, and he will send some messages every three days, complaining and satirizing others.
Nefi's rule does not seem to be far away.
On the Washington side, many young congressmen are also users of Netflix sharing, such as the black charcoal head congressman from Illinois, who is not only extremely active in Netflix sharing, but also attracts a large number of leftist supporters through this increasingly open platform.
As for the two factions of democracy and republicans, there are also cases of verbal battles shared through Netflix.
Netflix sharing is gradually infiltrating every aspect of life in the United States through the increasingly popular Internet and computers.
It's a pity that the banking industry is a mountain that is almost impossible to read, otherwise Ronan would have the heart to engage in online payment.
However, this aspect is completely different from the Internet industry, not only to be cautious, without a strong consortium, it cannot even be touched.
Who knows how much it has been paid, and how much is still in the hands of the person, no one knows.
Some industries and business districts can compete and develop to their heart's content, and even the space is large enough, but there are some things that have very serious consequences if they are touched.
It is not impossible to become a public enemy of American capital.
Ronan knows very well that in Hollywood and its related industries, as well as the emerging Internet industry, as long as a few powerful partners are pulled, the future is very profitable, and there is no need to ask for those big troubles.
Snakes swallowing elephants happen by chance, but what is the result of ants swallowing elephants?
Netflix is also stepping up negotiations with Nokia and Sony Ericsson, and since there are no other competitors in the same category in the market, the talks are actually close to reaching a deal.
While negotiating with these mobile phone manufacturers, Netflix is also proposing that several parties jointly establish a cooperative alliance to safeguard the common interests of large manufacturers and big brands in this industry, and to raise the entry threshold for mobile phones and their smart operating systems as much as possible.
This kind of negotiation is bound to be a long-term process of competition and compromise, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
If Netflix wants to promote the Android system, which is still under development and design, it also needs to be more powerful.
Fortunately, this proposal is also in line with the interests of several major mobile phone giants, and no one wants new giants in the mobile phone industry to carve up the market, and they are quite interested in this.
The least interested is Nokia, which is looking to buy Saipan.
To some extent, it seems that the Netflix network will develop in the future.
If Netflix is still a company like this, it wants to promote Android around the world, it is a fool's dream.
But after going public next year and Netflix becomes an Internet giant, the situation will be completely different.
To be honest, a few people would have thought that Nokia, one of the two giants in the mobile phone industry, would fall into that situation in the mobile phone market and finally have to divest the mobile phone business.
At that time, when Ronan heard that Nokia had divested its mobile phone business, it could only be described as shock.
The current Nokia mobile phone is synonymous with durability, and on the Internet, it is said to be the favorite of African mercenaries, known as the existence of bullets in the pocket of the chest.
It is not known how credible this rumor is, but Ronan once experienced first-hand that the Nokia straight mobile phone he used when he was reading fell from a height of more than two meters and fell apart, not only was the screen not broken, but after picking up all the parts and looking for someone to repair the phone, it could still be used normally.
At that time, Nokia mobile phones could also be said to be a kind of faith, but later, the Nokia brand, like Motorola, gradually became a trend.
Georgia, the capital of Atlanta.
A slightly old second-hand Ford sedan was parked in front of a single-family house on the side of the road, Adrian picked up the mobile phone box on the passenger seat, and after getting out of the car, he didn't even have time to lock the door and rushed towards his home.
When he returned home, he first opened the box and took out the new Motorola smartphone E680, which was only launched in September.
The silver phone has a large screen that other phones don't have, not only does it have a touch screen function, but it can also log in to the Internet through the mobile phone communication network.
Of course, such a phone is also expensive.
Adrian had just received his first formal job and bought such a mobile phone as a reward.
"Hi Ed. The mother walked through the living room: "We're going to the supermarket, are you going?"
Adrian's energy was all on his new phone, and he waved his hand: "Don't go." ”
The parents soon left, and Adrian fiddled with his phone for a while to find a familiar icon on it - Netflix!
As a loyal Netflix user, he immediately clicked on the icon, followed the simple and clear prompts, logged in to his Netflix account, and was pleasantly surprised to find that his Netflix sharing interface appeared on the phone screen in another form.
Although it is different from a computer website, the operation is just as simple and easy to understand, and Adrian only fiddled with it for a while, and became familiar with the operations such as friends, recent information, followers, Netflix news, and Moments.
What intrigues him the most is that Moments offers a new feature that allows you to take photos and videos and upload them to Moments instantly.
Adrian immediately turned on this function, entered the shooting interface, first took a few pictures of the living room and uploaded them, and then took a short video and sent it to the circle of friends.
The mobile phone has 300,000 pixels, and the clarity is very good.
Adrian saw that there were more than a dozen likes in the circle of friends in an instant, and his heart was full of joy, so he found an SD expansion card and pressed it, and decided to go out to shoot and upload more videos, so that those who are still playing on the computer side are envious, jealous and hateful!
