Although there are still two months to go, in order to welcome the bigwig's visit to the United States, he is not ready to continue tossing, and Zhou Shi, who caused trouble, in addition to focusing his attention on Huaxia's WeChat Wealth Management, is to contact friends from all walks of life in Silicon Valley to communicate feelings.

The matter of the "Peanutun Post" dragged on, anyway, Zhou Shi was not in a hurry, he had no idea that this newspaper would be successful, so naturally he would not suffer from gains and losses, and he was worried.

According to the intimacy, Zhou Shi first came to Netflix, a streaming video company that was already secretly controlled by him.

"Congratulations, you're finally on your face. "Zhou Shi, although Netflix's market value has not reached a historical high, it has two-thirds of its historical high, that is, a market value of 123 billion US dollars.

"Thanks to Yahoo's help, it opened up for us!"

"I should be grateful for the success of the House of Cards!" Zhou Shi, the filming and production of the House of Cards has nothing to do with him, and it will not have anything to do with it......

"Haha, it seems that we are not wrong to take the path of self-made dramas!"

"Of course, without its own production and manufacturing capacity, there is no pricing power, and it is not a good phenomenon to put your life and death in the hands of others!" Zhou Shi, in the final analysis, the film and television industry still relies on content to speak, and the role of content creators cannot be underestimated at any time. In the foreseeable future, directors, actors, and screenwriters will play an increasingly important role in the core creation of film and television production, and artificial intelligence cannot be replaced in these industries that need to give full play to human imagination.

"We need more help from MiraMac and Disney in the future. "Hastings

"No problem, but did you notice that Netflix's ultimate opponent may be Disney, and I don't need to say anything more about their strength! "Zhou Shi

"Of course, that's why we need to seize the time now and use their resources to grow Netflix. "Hastings, even after 5~6 years, Netflix's most popular film and television dramas are always third-party film and television dramas, such as "Friends", and there are not as many popular self-made dramas as everyone imagined!

"I'm a member of Disney's board of directors now, it's not good to say this in front of me!" Zhou Shi, although Disney's shares are not in his name, Disney's status as a member of the board of directors has not been lost, this is an effective means for him to maintain his public opinion advantage in Europe and the United States.

"I believe the value of Netflix will be even greater. "Hastings

"You're confident!" Zhou Shi was noncommittal, his positioning of the two companies was different, and he stayed at Disney for social influence. Netflix is to make money, and to let Chinese film and television works have a display channel in Europe and the United States!

"Although Simon is a shareholder of Disney, he is more of an Internet person, and we will have more in common, Disney is a traditional business...... "Hastings

"But Disney's market value is more than 80 billion US dollars, and Netflix is only more than 10 billion, and the scale of income and social influence of both parties are not the same...... "Zhou Shi, he doesn't expect to make much money at Disney, as long as he maintains a certain social influence, it is enough. The social influence of the Netflix model may be difficult to catch up with Disney, whether it is media resources or amusement parks, Disney's influence is unparalleled from online to offline.

Hastings did not surpass Disney's confidence at this time, but he would not admit defeat, especially in front of major shareholders.

It should not be difficult to judge whether Netflix's success is mainly due to big data or rich video resources. For example, if a website has no ads, all of them are free, but its video resources are very few, very old, and can push your favorite videos to you according to your preferences; the other has ads, charged, but rich in video resources, and has the latest and most complete video resources, in this case, most people will choose which website, it should not be difficult to judge! Anyway, Zhou Shi will choose a website with rich video resources.

Miramax has a dedicated publicity team and is able to distribute the film worldwide through acquisitions. recruited a powerful director like Christopher Nolan, and gradually cultivated his own descendants, and his production ability and level have skyrocketed with the support of cash. In addition, it has gained control of MGM and has one of the largest film libraries in the world. Such a resource is very important to Netflix, and he can calmly accept Zhou Shi as the actual controller behind Netflix, how can there be no reason?

"By the way, is there any progress in the Marvel TV series project cooperated by Marvel Studios, Miramax and Netflix, and when will it be released?" Zhou Shi asked about another cooperation project, which is to expand the influence of Marvel movies, and also to allow Netflix to have more film and television resources and learn from production experience.

"The first step is that the Marvel TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." has begun production, and it will be launched in June this year!"

"I hope he can become the next hit on Netflix!" Zhou Shi

"We're very confident in it! This TV series has a very important role to play in the entire Marvel Universe......" Hastings

Netflix has changed the broadcast mode of American TV dramas, from the previous broadcast of one episode a week to the current one-shot broadcast, of course, all the episodes may only be about 8 episodes, it is difficult to have dozens of episodes in a TV series like Huaxia. The purpose of this is naturally to save costs, and a TV series that has a bad response may not have a future after filming the first episode. It's not possible in Huaxia, only after all the filming is done can it be broadcast on the TV station, and then two or three episodes a day. Because of this, there are a lot of loss-making TV series in China that cannot be released, and there are also a lot of TV dramas that inject water.

The model of weekly TV series may be suitable for the previous era, but the Internet era is obviously different, you can freely choose to watch TV series and movies anytime and anywhere, who wants to wait in front of the TV every day and wait for a weekly episode of a week. Of course, if it's a high-quality HBO series, it may be different, but without a choice, it will also cancel out most of the advantages of the TV station.

Zhou Shi didn't know how Netflix succeeded in his previous life, he could only help Netflix according to his own understanding and ideas. The first is to expand the audience, that is, to bind to Yelp members, the second is to improve Netflix's film and television resources, strengthen its ability and level of self-made dramas, and finally expand Netflix's publicity and promotion channels (Yahoo, Toutiao APP). None of these combinations would ensure Netflix's success, and he would be exhausted! However, Netflix's board of directors and company executives were not as apprehensive as Zhou Shi, and they were so full of trust in him that they threatened Hastings' control of Netflix......
