Chapter 1056: Power

Just like Hollywood movies, all dramas that are very popular in North America will not have a bad response in the global market, and there is also the original book as the basis.

The popularity of "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" quickly spread to the entire Western world, bringing nearly 8 million new paying users to the Netflix network in just a few days.

The craze brought by dramas and users is directly reflected in the stock market, and Netflix crossed the threshold of $90 billion in market value in mid-September, just one step away from $100 billion.

By the end of this year, the market capitalization of the Netflix network exceeded $100 billion.

As the absolute controlling party of Relativity Entertainment, having Netflix Network in hand is equivalent to one more operation channel.

At the same time that "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones" was on the air, Ronan took the time to talk to George Martin.

"Our first steps were a great success. ”

In the reception room, Ronan was in a good mood, and he always had a faint smile on his face: "George, you have to continue to participate in the script writing of the second part." ”

George Martin was in a better mood than Ronan, with a white beard on his face and a smile on his lips that almost couldn't close his mouth: "The script has already begun, and soon we will be able to come up with the first draft." ”

Ronan turned to the topic: "George, I am looking for you this time, there is one more thing, when will this series be completed? Do you have a specific plan?"

"Don't be in a hurry. George Martin was very calm: "I have already started writing the fifth part, and the sixth part has been planned, you must always give me some time." ”

Ronan added, "The series will basically be released at a rate of one season per year, George, you can't let the series progress exceed your original book in a few years, right?"

George Martin smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't mind." ”

"You have to hold on. Ronan still urged: "I hope yours will be all done before the episode ends." ”

George Martin saw that Ronan was serious, and hurriedly promised, "I will do my best." ”

Ronan didn't say anything more, hoping that there was still plenty of momentum behind George Martin.

The original book of "Game of Thrones" used to be, and that was really a lifetime series.

Given the huge success of the first season, preparations for the second season quickly began, but like the first season, the second season will remain around ten episodes.

External publicity is to ensure quality, and internally, there is another layer of consideration, even if those large-scale war scenes are cut, the production cost of this series is still too high, and each additional episode also means that the risk will increase exponentially.

The popularity of "Game of Thrones" also reflects the audience's interest in this kind of conspiracy theme.

David Fincher is still filming "House of Cards", which can also be said to be the conspiracy genre, and it is closer to real society than "Game of Thrones".

The production of this series is not fast, and it will not be available until next summer at the earliest.

However, in order to promote the materials and advertising films, it has attracted a lot of attention.

There has always been no shortage of audiences in North America on the subject of Washington authorities.

Why does Hollywood drag the Washington authorities out at every turn to be the villain? It is not because the public is always paying attention to that side and the social and political situation.

Although they can't participate in the power struggle in person, they act as spectators with relish and have lively discussions, and the public on both sides of the Pacific is actually similar.

Any struggle for power is brutal.

In the words of the original book "A Song of Ice and Fire: Game of Thrones": power is by no means a simple thing, authority and violence have always been the two pillars of power. If power is compared to a magic wand, then the tip of the wand with diamonds is called authority, which means the legitimacy and majesty of power, and the sharp spike at the end of the wand is violent, and when necessary, it will show the cruelty of power.

As long as human greed and lust remain, the Game of Thrones will never stop and end, and it will not really leave a living mouth except for piles of corpses and sacrifices.

All victories are temporary, and the victor will eventually lose in the protracted battle for power, giving way to the next strong one.

George Martin has written several volumes, of course, the power in them cannot be applied to the real world, but they are also real reactions to some situations, especially those in dictatorial and war-torn countries.

To put it simply, what is power?

Power is not fear, so it is good at making others frightened, The ruthless little Peel Ramsay and the army of the Strangers will not be the final winners, power is not power and court power, and the small Cersei and Jaime are not the ultimate winners, power is not metaphysics and illusion, so Stannis-Baracien, who always wants to take shortcuts, is killed on the battlefield, power is not the same as justice, so the Bishop Sparrow and the Brotherhood Without Flags, who represent the will of the people at the bottom, are so shallow, and power is not morality and honor, which is why the Stark family, the king of the North, is close to extinction.

Even though Jon Snow is so good-looking and a five-good young man, Game of Thrones stabs him to death in the snow with great interest, like a killing performance art on public display.

The Black Charcoal Head, backed by Relativity Entertainment, is currently waging a Game of Thrones in Washington, D.C., and has defeated Zipton's wife to become the party's No. 1 candidate.

If nothing else, the Black Charcoal Head will win next year and become the new owner of the White House in 2009.

Ronan's vision is also more long-term, Relativity Entertainment is also cooperating with Kawa's company, the future eldest princess with a lot of brains, has also recently come to Los Angeles to talk to Shahai Entertainment about candy licensing for characters such as Peppa Pig.

Relativity Entertainment has a dedicated public relations department to handle these tasks, and Ronan doesn't have to worry about it personally.

"Just that Mr. Chuan, he also wants to enter politics?"

Inside the Beverly Clubhouse, Will Smith looked at the newspaper and shook his head: "He still wants to run for president?"

Ronan sat back on the couch, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "Anything is possible." ”

Tom Cruise answered, "Don't forget, even a guy like George Clooney wants to learn from Reagan. ”

Will Smith put down the newspaper and asked Ronan, "It's the same as before, he's putting on a show, right?"

Ronan said casually: "Maybe he really wants to sit in that position, although he is the representative of many interest groups, he is also the president of the United States." ”

Someone once said that President Chuan's coming to power represents another voice in the United States, a counterattack against the crazy spread of the white left.

Yes, the white left is a social trend, but there are also many people who are disgusted.

Tom Cruise joked, "If I had the chance, I'd like to try that seat too." ”

"I don't want to attend your funeral decades in advance. Will Smith was also joking: "With your more serious attitude, if you sit in that position, you have to be assassinated." ”

Ronan said: "The American Commander who is not assassinated is not a qualified Commander. ”

Will Smith said solemnly: "The best commanders of the United States all died at the hands of the Americans themselves." ”

Tom Cruise remembered something and asked, "Ronan, I heard that Shahai Entertainment is making a movie that spoofs Lincoln. ”

"It's not just a parody of Lincoln. Ronan said simply: "Famous presidents like Washington and Jefferson are ready to spoof." Uwe Bauer is ready to make them vampire hunters, magicians, witchers and the like. ”

Will Smith was interested: "It's a good idea, but the director is unreliable." ”

Ronan said: "Uwe Bauer is very capable, but the level of directing is a little worse. ”

Hearing this, Tom Cruise and Will Smith were speechless for a moment, feeling as if something was wrong, right?

"That's right. Ronan took the initiative to change the subject: "When do you have time, come to my place as a guest." ”

Tom Cruise and Will Smith looked at each other, and finally Will Smith said, "It won't disturb your two-person world, will it?"

They all know about Ronan and Jessica Filton, and they are also relatively familiar with Jessica Filton, and now that Ronan has a mistress in the manor, it is naturally different from before.

Ronan said, "It's Jesse who wants to invite you, along with a few of her friends, to the manor for a reunion. ”

Tom Cruise said: "Okay, you can contact me at a certain time, I just finished filming "Inception", and I will be in Los Angeles recently. ”

Will Smith gestured to call: "I can do it anytime." ”

Recently, his mind has been completely focused on the post-production of his son's new film "Kung Fu Dream", which can be said to be heartbroken for his son.

Ronan nodded: "I'll discuss the time with Jesse, you wait for my call." ”

Tom Cruise said: "I can now be sure that you're serious. ”

Ronan understood what he meant: "Tom, I've always been serious. ”

"People like us who are at ease. Will Smith seems to be very experienced: "Once serious, more serious than anyone else." ”

Hearing these words in his ears, Ronan felt that there was some truth, as if he had become a good man.

Will Smith asked, "Tom, don't you have any plans to find a permanent partner again?"

Tom Cruise shook his head directly: "I finally jumped out, I don't want to blame myself again." ”

Ronan glanced at him and said, "Don't hit Tom, he's been getting critically hit." ”

"Who? who would dare to oppress you?" Will Smith asked menacingly, "Isn't this that you can't get along with me and Ronan?"

Tom Cruise said with twelve points of helplessness: "Who else? ”

Will Smith was instantly out of momentum: "We can't help with this." ”

Ronan didn't have much to say except poor Tom Cruise......

Nicole Kidman is now stuck in a dead loop, the movies she shoots fail miserably one after another, her career is getting worse and worse, and the more unsuccessful she is, the more she wants to increase her exposure, and if she wants to increase her exposure, she keeps talking about Tom Cruise.

Well, the most pitiful is Nicole Kidman's current husband.

"Ronan, have you heard? Tom Cruise suddenly said: "There seems to be a bad trend in the circle. ”
