Many states in the southern United States can never underestimate the power of conservatives, even if the entire state has become a mess, they will not easily compromise.

In early February, after a series of hearings, a 12-member grand jury ruled that there was no conclusive evidence that the police had intentionally shot a young African-American, so the jury decided not to prosecute.

The eyes of the whole country have been staring at Georgia, and after the ruling is announced, the outcome can be imagined.

On the Netflix share, which had the most rapid response, there were voices of protest everywhere, and many people called for public protest.

In just one afternoon, Netflix has become the most active media in the United States, and people from all over the world who care about this matter not only voice their own voices, but also take pictures or short videos of the surrounding protests, and share them on social software for the first time.

After the hustle and bustle of December, and the brewing of January, coupled with the intensification of the situation, Netflix shares not only deeply 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 indeed in the United States as a whole, began to get out of control.

After the grand jury announced its verdict, mass demonstrations erupted across the United States, which spread to nearly 90 cities in 34 states, including several settlements in Canada.

In Los Angeles, it's not just black people protesting rally, black stars in Hollywood took to the streets of the Hollywood area to rally in protest at the call of Will Smith and Spike Lee.

As one of the concentrations of the white left in the United States, Hollywood has never had a shortage of supporters of the black movement.

A large number of Hollywood stars of other ethnicities participated in the protest, even if it was for the sake of the white left.

Will Smith naturally became one of Hollywood's black leaders.

Hollywood is the focus of public opinion, which naturally attracts attention, and after the protests in the Hollywood area, large-scale protests quickly spread to nearly 180 cities across the United States.

Ordinary people see protests and a chaotic social situation, but those who are interested see the power of new media.

At the Los Angeles Times newspaper, editor-in-chief Connors is brushing up on his Netflix sharing, and once he finds the latest news, he immediately asks people to collect relevant news.

There's no way around it.

The impact of the incident was too great, but the number of reporters at the Los Angeles Times was limited, and even if there were special correspondents in every city, there were only two or three, and they could not take into account all the parts of the city.

Watching Netflix share the news and information that is constantly refreshing on it, Connors has a sense of powerlessness, although Netflix is not a news media, but it spreads faster than all the media, and it covers a wide range of topics.

Compared with traditional news media, this Netflix sharing is simply hanging, and more than 20 million users in the United States can all become news discoverers and uploaders.

How does traditional media compare?

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 of Netflix?" Connors asked.

The deputy told the truth: "The influence is expanding at a rapid pace, and a new way of socializing is being created. ”

Connors asked, "You are in constant contact with the Internet media, what is the prospect of Netflix sharing?"

"Wall Street's assessment. The deputy talked about the news he had just received: "They think that the number of Netflix users will increase to more than 50 million in the next two years." ”

Connors nodded slowly: "I have an idea, in the name of the Los Angeles Times, we set up a Netflix sharing account, and establish a closer connection with Netflix sharing, which can also make people pay attention to the dynamics of the Los Angeles Times for the first time." ”

The deputy agreed: "Yes, the general trend of the Internet is irreversible, we can only follow the trend, and Netflix is not a news media, and it is not a direct competitor to us." ”

"Then it was decided. Connors is quick to get things done: "I know Ronan Anderson, and I'm going to call him directly today. ”

In just over a week, Ronan was surprised to find that many traditional media had registered accounts on Netflix Sharing and became users of Netflix Sharing.

Ronan never wanted to compete directly with these traditional big media outlets, and Netflix would not be deeply involved in journalism, and after talking to Mark Randolph, he specifically asked Netflix to share these media accounts as official authenticators.

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

By February, Netflix had reached a new high of registered users in North America, crossing the 25 million mark for the first time.

In addition, all of Netflix's businesses in overseas markets are localized, which has avoided many detours and has been carried out relatively smoothly, and the number of overseas registered users is growing rapidly.

"Relying only on relativity entertainment, it is difficult for Netflix to develop very much. ”

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

He said slowly: "If Netflix wants to expand globally, the only way to burn money is to go. ”

Robert Iger fully agrees with Ronan's words: "The next stage of Netflix's globalization strategy needs more than $5 billion in funding, and many problems require not only funds, but also partners and development platforms. ”

Ronan nodded: "Only by taking the road of financing, Relativity Entertainment also needs partners." ”

"Wall Street's assessment of Netflix is rising. Robert Iger said: "Netflix has a promising future, and Goldman Sachs and his partners will support us, at least for a long time to come, under the lure of huge investment returns." ”

Ronan cautioned: "Don't let your guard down 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 don't just have a funding channel for Wall Street, we also have the Pacific Investment Foundation." ”

The Pacific Investment Fund has a relatively broad overseas financing channel, which cannot be compared with the large investment banks on Wall Street, but it also has relatively strong liquidity.

At the beginning of this year, a batch of financing projects of the Pacific Investment Fund expired, and without any delay, the foundation returned the principal plus dividends to all investors.

Good reputation, stable investment income by guarantee, these are attracting new investment.

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

In addition to this, Scott Swift recently traveled to Brazil and Mexico, where there are also new interested investors.

Like many investment institutions on Wall Street, once the fame and credibility are known, it will be relatively easy to attract new investment.

"We need a lot of money to do what's next. Robert Iger said: "In addition to Relativity Entertainment's cash flow, the Pacific Investment Fund's financing, I've spoken to Bank of America, and they will lend high amounts to Relativity Entertainment whenever we need it." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "Bob, you can do it freely." ”

Robert Iger said: "There are occasions, some people, you come forward to work better than me. ”

"I understand. Ronan said calmly, "You can always notify me when you need me." ”

The two discussed for a long time.

After Robert Iger left, Ronan called Alan Horn and agreed to go golf together in the afternoon.

The co-chairman of Disney Studios has been in a state of flux lately, as the board of directors has given him new responsibilities as Disney Animation Studios after he took over the mess at Disney Studios.

For example, live-action film shooting, which can be described as more than just a mess.

It was the Disney board of directors that allowed Alan Horn to revive the prestige of Disney Animation Studios.

Hand-drawn animation is completely outdated, and Disney Animation is no longer the Disney animation studio of a decade.

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

Subsequently, Ronan went to meet Harvey Weinstein, Miramax has no heavyweight works this awards season, and the purchased "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" is destined to hit the streets in North America, so naturally he will not invest more in the Oscars.

Most importantly, Ronan still wants to find out how long the Weinstein brothers can last at Miramax.

It is not easy for Michael Eisner to directly kick out these two people, when Walt Disney bought Miramax, it was far less powerful than it is now, taking a cash-and-merger approach, and the Weinstein brothers are also shareholders of Walt Disney and also hold a lot of shares in Disney.

Unfortunately, Disney is now in civil strife, with no powerful works coming out, and the stock price is declining, causing shareholders to complain.

Disney in the past only gradually got back on track after Robert Iger came to power in 2006.

Ronan poached Robert Iger and is still waiting to continue digging into Disney's corners.

This year will be the best opportunity.

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

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

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

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

It's not the letter Rowe of Manchester United, it's the one that Robson Sr. calls an alien.

The romances of celebrities always turn the page at a speed that catches people off guard.
