Chapter 1064: Another Great God
At present, Hollywood is promoting digital photography, including Donn, George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Roland Emmerich, Spielberg, Cameron and other big directors, are all driving this trend.
And the camera they rely on is Sony's F900 digital camera.
THE CLARITY IS ONLY 1920X1080 PIXELS, WHICH IS LESS THAN 2K.
The price is as high as $100,000!
The cost of this camera is not expected to exceed $5,000.
This is the monopoly market.
Price is secondary, the key is this kind of old monopoly, many of which are very outrageous.
For example, Sony, the video format shot by Sony's camera must be converted in post-format, otherwise it cannot be played on any device other than Sony TV. This undoubtedly adds a lot of inconvenience to the operation.
If the product is updated and the interface model changes, the photographer will have to buy all the lenses all over again and be exploited again. Even the TV had to be replaced.
It can be said that many of Sony's actions are not only competition between countries, but also seriously infringe on the interests of consumers.
Even Hollywood has been looking forward to a digital video camera with image quality comparable to Sony's.
Precisely, this person is Jim Jennard!
His life history is legendary, and his ability to innovate is even more than Apple's Steve Jobs!
Elon Musk praised him for doing something even more magnificent than his own space engineering, which is really not a joke.
In 2007, Jim Jennard launched the world's first 4K uncompressed digital cinema camera Red_one which was designed to look like it came from outer space, and sold for just $17,500. In the following year, the 4K camera launched by Sony was still priced at $150,000.
It can be said that Jim Jennard used the general craftsmanship standards of Jobs and the general cost control of Elon Musk, and finally broke a way to survive in the field of digital video cameras monopolized by Sony.
Many big Hollywood directors have also begun to embrace Red_one.
Tang En's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes looked at this bald uncle who was not good-looking, and his heart shook.
Sure enough, people can't be disgraced.
Who would have imagined that this guy standing in front of him is Jobs in the high-end luxury market!
Steve Jobs launched the touch-screen iPhone, which crushed the button mobile phone market in one fell swoop and ushered in a new era of the mobile phone industry.
However, after his death, the innovation of the mobile phone market has come to a standstill, and the so-called 5G and flexible screens are all small fights, and they have not changed the industrial pattern, and they are essentially touch mobile phones.
If you want to truly break the monopoly of the iPhone, you must introduce a new way to use the mobile phone and take the touch screen mobile phone to another dimension!
Holographic projection screen phone!
That's what Jim Jennard later pursued with Red.
Not to mention whether it can be successful or not, this is a Jobs type idea, a great idea.
Don loves to associate with great people.
Steve Jobs is his friend, and Elon Musk is even more dear.
There is no doubt that the Jim Jennard in front of him is also the same kind of person.
"Honestly, Sony...... I've long since lost sight. Don lowered his voice and said sincerely.
Jim Jennard's face was delighted, "So...... Will you support my cause?"
"I want Hollywood's camera equipment to be more diverse, rather than being dominated by Sony's Japanese company. But, Jim, do you really think you can break Sony's monopoly on your own?"
"As long as I can get orders from Hollywood, I am confident!" Jim Jennard's fighting spirit does not look worse than Elon Musk's.
Hollywood is the industry benchmark.
If even Hollywood uses a new Red_one camera, then photography enthusiasts all over the world will definitely pursue this digital camera.
When the time comes, the Red company will become famous in one fell swoop!
Don shook his head and said, "No, I mean...... After all, Red is just a rookie in the industry, does it have enough R&D channels, technical talents and financial support?"
Jim Jennard said: "Although I didn't come from the electronics and IT industry, I am a professional photography enthusiast, and I have collected nearly 1,000 different brands of cameras over the past 100 years. I can confidently say that I can assemble every camera from scratch if I am given enough equipment and accessories. ”
Well, he's still a tech god.
"What about the funds? You know, camera equipment is a luxury industry, and the investment and corresponding promotion funds required will be astronomical. ”
Don's heart is that you want to lead Red to attack Sony's industry leader, and you can't play it without enough capital support.
Throw yourself into my arms and let New World bless you!
New Globe has two core hardware companies, Dolby Laboratories and IMAX.
If RED can defect to New Globe, then as long as RED shows its results, Donn will dare to support Jim Jennard and promote him to the position of vice president of the group, so that he will be in charge of all the hardware businesses under New Globe.
Focus on training.
He will be the new leader of New Universal in the era of holographic projection in the future!
Jim Jennard paused for a moment and whispered, "Mr. Walker, in terms of funding...... I don't have any problems, all I need is Hollywood support. ”
"Huh?"
Don was stunned for a moment.
No difficulty in funding?
Do you know how much it costs to develop a camera and the subsequent PR battles and production line builds?
At this time, Elon Musk coughed lightly and explained: "Don, in addition to Red, Jim has another company in his hands, Oakley Sunglasses, do you know?"
Oakley sunglasses?
As a sunglasses lover, Don certainly knows!
These are the coolest sunglasses of the moment.
Although the sales volume is far inferior to the industry leader Ray-Ban, the quality, appearance, coolness and charm are all significantly ahead. It is a must-have sports equipment for every outdoor enthusiast.
Hey?
Don't......
Elon Musk said: "That's right, Jim is the founder of Oakley. ”
Tang En was speechless for a while, and only asked after a while: "Your own company?"
Jim Jennard said: "At first, I started my own business, and then in order to form a brand influence, I brought in Michael Jordan and gave up some shares. ”
"Michael Jordan?"
Don was stunned for a moment.
Jim Jennard smiled and said, "That's right, it's the big guy who plays basketball." After all, at the beginning of the business, Oakley sunglasses were mainly aimed at the sports market. ”
Well, so it seems that this Jim Jennard is likely to be worth more than $1 billion!
It's not easy to win him over.
