August in Los Angeles has passed the hottest season of the year, but the afternoon sun is still a little scorching, under the bright sun, the whirring wind suddenly sounded over the lawn on the side of the future world manor, and the strong wind brought by the rotation of the propeller pressed the green grass tightly to the ground.

Nikia, the butler, and a sturdy maid stood on the lawn, each shielding their eyes with their hands to keep the flying grass clippings and dust from falling into their eyes.

A white-painted commercial helicopter descends from the sky and lands steadily on the tarmac marked with the "H" symbol.

The helicopter door opened, and a middle-aged man with a suitcase got out and ran almost at a sprint speed in front of Nikia.

"Hello. The middle-aged man greeted hurriedly.

Despite the strong wind brought by the propellers, Nikia kept the English butler's composure and said, "Leave it to me." ”

It was not the first time that the middle-aged man had come over, and immediately handed over the suitcase, and the sturdy maid took it.

"Send it right away. Nikia commanded, "Mr. Anderson and his two guests are in the second side room. ”

The sturdy maid walked quickly towards the side door of the future world like the wind.

The middle-aged man handed over the bill, and Nikia glanced at the numbers, a single bottle of beer for $1,850 was very scary to put elsewhere, but in this estate, she had long been used to it.

Nikia confirmed that the amount was correct and immediately signed her name on the bill.

The middle-aged man collected the bill and rushed back to the helicopter, where the white-painted plane quickly lifted off and left Beverly Hills.

The sturdy maid carried the box into the second side room, and Ronan saw the special leather case in her hand and said to Tom Cruise and Will Smith, "Here comes the wine." ”

"What wine?" Tom Cruise was a little curious, "it was going to be airlifted by helicopter." ”

Will Smith was also curious: "Ronan, it's mysterious, I won't show you mercy if the wine is not good." ”

Ronan opened the suitcase, and the thermostat inside the suitcase was wrapped in two bottles of ordinary-looking ...... Beer.

"In order to maintain the original flavor of this wine, it is very demanding to store it. Ronan took out a bottle and said, "Not only should it be refrigerated, but it should also be kept in the icy sea water from Antarctica." ”

Seeing Ronan preparing to open the drink, Will Smith brought three glasses and placed them on the bar in front of Ronan.

Ronan took the corkscrew and said, "This wine will lose its original taste after half an hour out of the storage place, so it should be flown in as quickly as possible." ”

Tom Cruise waited a little anxiously and urged, "Hurry up and open the bar." ”

Bang –

The cap of the bottle was opened, and there was a faint cold air coming out, and Ronan poured a part of the wine into each of the three glasses, the beer was not very foamy, and it looked like a pale golden cold feeling.

Will Smith was the first to take a sip, a particularly chilling taste that instantly spread throughout his body from his mouth.

Ronan and Tom Cruise clinked glasses and took a sip each, the beer tasted lighter, not too strong, and the biggest feature was that it was particularly frosty.

As Ronan continued to pour his drink, Will Smith said, "It's more chilled than any other beer I've had before." ”

Tom Cruise nodded in agreement and said, "It's like walking around a glacier in a single suit." ”

Ronan finished pouring his wine, raised his glass to the two, and said, "Go on." After another glass of cold beer, he asked, "This wine didn't disappoint you, did it?"

Will Smith laughs and says, "$1,850 a bottle of beer, that's not a disappointing." ”

Tom Cruise opened the second bottle of beer and filled three glasses again, and Ronan added: "There are only two bottles of this wine in Los Angeles, and I asked Nikia to auction it for me exclusively from Christie's, I don't know if it's the best beer, but it's definitely the most expensive beer at the moment." ”

The three of them chatted while drinking, and the second beer soon bottomed out.

Tom Cruise looked at the pale golden liquor in the glass and said, "The ingredients should be rare, right?"

"The water used to make wine comes from a piece of thousand-year-old ice from a glacier in Antarctica. "The ice came from a giant iceberg, which was first collected by the Marine Conservation Group and brought back to Australia for scientific expeditions, and then bought by the brewery to make this batch of beer, and only a few dozen bottles have been circulated," Ronan explained simply. ”

Tom Cruise, who has participated in several environmental protection activities, nodded and said: "The protection of Antarctic glaciers is much stricter now than before, and it is not easy to come back from the huge ice in the Antarctic belt again." ”

Will Smith clinked glasses with Ronan and Tom Cruise and said, "Good wine has to be drunk." ”

In just ten minutes, the three of them drank more than $2,000 worth of beer, and after the wine was gone, the conversation between the three of them shifted from the wine to other places.

"I haven't said thank you two yet. Ronan said with a smile: "You guys have helped me a lot by registering users on Netflix and posting and sharing information. ”

Tom Cruise smiled, "You're polite with me? ”

Will Smith said casually, "Didn't you invite us to drink?"

Ronan said: "Many of the registered Netflix users have been your fans recently. ”

In fact, several celebrities have posted on Netflix one after another, which has played a big role in pulling in, and no one can ignore the influence of Johnny Depp, Will Smith and Tom Cruise today.

"Actually, it's good for us too. Tom Cruise said: "I've had a lot of feedback from fans who feel really good about this day-to-day direct exchange. ”

Stars who have been in Hollywood for many years, except for a few people with weird personalities, most of them have their own eyes on things, Will Smith answered: "Your Netflix has millions of users, and I heard from my agent that registered users will soon reach tens of millions, which is equivalent to establishing a platform for us to speak directly." ”

Tom Cruise agrees: "In the past, if we wanted to speak out, we needed to get through the media relations and go through the media channels, not to mention the large amount of public relations expenses spent, and sometimes the media did not sell face to us and deliberately misinterpreted our meaning. ”

He remembered what happened some time ago, and he was still a little sad: "What happened to me after the Oscars is the best example. But Ronan, the platform you provided gives us a chance to speak directly, as long as there are enough users who can see our direct voice, it's worth more than anything else. ”

Ronan said very seriously: "Indeed, there is such a platform, at critical moments, you can make your voice public as quickly as possible. ”

Will Smith laughed and said deliberately: "So, Ronan, you have to attract as many users as possible, when your Netflix has tens of millions of users, we can bypass those traditional media that are difficult to speak, and some things can be announced directly through Netflix's platform." ”

"I also want Netflix to have tens of millions of users. Ronan sighed: "By the end of this year, it would be nice to have 10 million registered users." ”

Tom Cruise, believing that he owes Ronan a huge favor, has always been very concerned about Ronan's affairs, and asks, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Will Smith also quipped: "And me. ”

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "I'm asking someone to plan Netflix's new publicity and marketing plan, the plan is still in the planning stage, and when the plan comes out, if there is anything I need your help with, I won't be polite to you." ”

He thought of several options, but quickly rejected them, and finally planned to leave the professional things to the professionals.

Speaking of which, Ronan really doesn't have much experience in how to promote social media, and his memory is more about the use of social media.

In fact, the prosperity of social media is a good thing for Hollywood stars, who have a platform to directly face their fans and promote themselves.

The prosperity of social media has created countless traffic stars, even if many of them are swiped stars, it cannot be denied that they are so popular and purple in a certain group.

However, the widespread use of social media is a double-edged knife that can both profit and harm oneself, and it is not uncommon for a celebrity to be swept away by the pervasive Internet expert, resulting in the collapse of the personality and falling off the cliff.

For Hollywood, the double-edged knife has much less effect on its own side, as long as most of the stars here do not make big principled mistakes such as discrimination, no matter how much black material is exposed, the actual impact is not too big.

At least it won't disappear.

Like the eldest cousin and others, if they were placed in the east, they would have been finished a long time ago.

Even Mel Gibson's mistakes returned to Hollywood a few years later, returning to the mainstream again.

Others, such as the more explosive the black material, the more popular the star, and Hollywood is not uncommon.

For this gathering at the Future World Manor, Ronan not only invited Will Smith and Tom Cruise, but also originally invited Jared Katzenberg.

"It's a pity. Will Smith sighed, "Jerry doesn't have access to such a limited edition of good wine. ”

Tom Cruise asked curiously, "Jerry has been absent from our meetings several times. ”

"He's too busy. Ronan knows more because of the cooperation between Embassy Pictures and DreamWorks Animation Studios: "Now that DreamWorks Animation Studios is working on three animated feature films with a budget of up to $75 million at the same time, Jared is under a lot of pressure and lives directly in the company five days a week. ”

DreamWorks Animation Studios has a low investment in a single film, with an average of $30 million or $40 million less per animated feature film than Pixar.

Of course, the visual difference between the animated feature films produced by the two is very obvious.

Since Jared Katzenberg was about to live and eat in the company, Ronan decided to visit him in person to talk to him about the partnership for animated feature film distribution.
