Chapter 244: The Last Position
On the private jet, Natalie was half-lying and half-leaning in Done's arms, whispering in his ear, "I feel...... You seem to have converged a lot lately. ”
"Convergence?what?"
"Woman. ”
Tang En couldn't help laughing, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "That...... In fact, on the set, Nicole and I have always lived together. ”
"She's an old lover anymore, it doesn't count. ”
Natalie rolled her eyes and said sneakily: "I have observed, there are many beautiful girls in the crew of "A Beautiful Mind". With what I know about you, if you had been filming for half a month before, I don't know how many girls you would have to spoil you. ”
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Donn glared at her.
There will be no shortage of beautiful girls in any crew, especially for movies like "A Beautiful Mind" that involve college campuses. But most of them are on the periphery of some group performances and waiting for opportunities, and there is only one really well-known actress, Nicole Kidman.
There are too many goblins in Hollywood, and no matter how energetic Don is, it is impossible to ...... them one by one Once you have a relationship, you must choose the best.
Especially some low-level and peripheral actresses, in order to get to the top, the means are endless, even reckless and at any cost.
If you sleep with the wrong person and suffer from bad influences, the gains outweigh the losses.
Comparatively speaking, in this regard, the more famous the actor, the more reliable he is.
"You know, I'm having a big fight with Disney right now, trying not to let them get hold of it. Maybe among the pretty girls on the crew, there's a hidden nail in Disney?" Donn shook his head, this was by no means alarmist.
Natalie pursed her lips and looked at him playfully, "I thought you were the Demon King of the Mixed World, but you also know that you are afraid?"
Tang En said angrily: "I am called a strong personality, it doesn't mean that I am stupid!"
Natalie covered her mouth and giggled.
At this time, Donn's cell phone rang, and when he looked down, it was Reese Witherspoon.
"Reese, is there something wrong?"
"There's one thing, I ...... Uh, you know, there's a lot of people in my alumni circle who are starting businesses, especially in Silicon Valley, where there's a lot of people. ”
Reese Witherspoon's tone was not very embarrassed, during this time, there were already six or seven Stanford alumni who entrusted her relationship. Most of them are high-tech companies that can't get along in the tech crash and want to get financing from Donne.
Donn's money didn't come from the wind, and the reason why he dared to invest in Wall Street and Silicon Valley was because he had foresight.
For companies he's never heard of, it doesn't matter if you're from Stanford or not!
Tang En said lightly: "Reese, this kind of thing, you can delay it in the future, the high-tech company is collectively finished, it is the trend, it is the trend of the times, I am a layman, but I have no ability to turn the tide." ”
"I know, but the other party's attitude is very sincere, and ...... It's a lot older, and I really can't put it off. Reese Witherspoon sneered.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what kind of company is that?" Donn has already rejected many financing applications in a row, not too many more.
"That's an online rental ...... about videotapes"
"Don't be so troublesome!" Don immediately interrupted her, talking on the plane, because of the technology, the signal was not bad, he simply said neatly: "Tell me the name of that company directly." ”
"Netflix. ”
"What?"
"Netflix!"
Don, who was originally snuggled up to Natalie, sat up straight, and his face was full of excitement, red light, "You mean...... This company is Netflix, which operates online videotape rentals?"
"That's right. Have you heard of it?"
Don almost burst out laughing.
Haven't you just heard of it?
It's thunderous!
The current Donn is a bit of a single-handedly Hollywood posture, he has the "sunglasses system", and the foresight, which can be said to have gathered the luck of the entire Hollywood.
Even so, his survival in Hollywood was very difficult, and Disney alone almost destroyed him completely.
However, Netflix ...... In the real world, it is really a company that is fighting against the entire Hollywood company on its own!
With the rise of the Internet, the traditional model of Hollywood is being submerged by the historical stage little by little, and movies and television are no longer exclusive platforms for Hollywood.
In particular, the rise of streaming media has turned the Hollywood landscape upside down, and even giant groups such as Twentieth Century Fox and Time Warner have been forced to choose to sell because of the advent of the Internet era and the competitive pressure of streaming media.
And the leader of streaming media is Netflix!
Netflix will have to wait ten years before it really starts streaming business.
In fact, Hollywood has long seen the impact of the advent of the Internet era on the traditional field, so in 2007, companies such as Twentieth Century Fox, Disney, and Universal established the streaming website Hulu.
Backed by several giants, Hulu has an unrivaled source advantage of other companies.
However, with the rise of Netflix, they have been developing three major businesses about movies for many years: "online on-demand, online payment, and online rental".
Even though Netflix was restricted by Hollywood's copyright, Netflix quickly found a new way out, and the self-made web series appeared, which directly made Netflix flourish.
Especially a "House of Cards", which made Netflix's name spread to every corner of the world, and the company's market value soared to $70 billion!
The combined market value of all streaming companies in the world is not as good as Netflix!
Later, Netflix even made ambitious movies, although it is still checked and balanced by Hollywood, and the review of the American Film Association will definitely be twists and turns.
But Netflix doesn't care at all, Netflix's homemade movies are not released in theaters at all, but are directly placed on the network and pushed to subscribers in the form of streaming media.
This move directly made Netflix take off for the second time, and the company's market value exceeded $120 billion!
You know, Time Warner Group was sold at a price of $85 billion, and most of Century Fox's assets were sold at a price of $52 billion.
Such a great company, at the time of this tech stock market crash, was forced to ask for Reese Witherspoon's head, just to be able to catch Donn's line and get financial support.
It's ridiculous and ironic to say.
"Reese, tell your senior, just say that I appreciate Netflix's O2O model of combining online and offline, so that he can ...... tomorrow I'll see him in the office the morning after tomorrow!"
Don endured the excitement and excitement in his heart, and seemed to have seen an edifice of future development.
Netflix is his last position!
Donne, who is in Hollywood, does have a golden finger, but this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants and be invincible, and in the face of Disney's pressure, he will be unable to do so many times.
If...... There really was a day when Donn caused public outrage and was sanctioned by the whole of Hollywood, or Disney paid handsomely and made sense of the other giants to join forces to besiege Towne Pictures.
Then Don En is even if he has a golden finger, don't want to avoid such a collective encirclement.
For a while, this was the biggest burden on Donn's heart.
However, the appearance of Netflix gave him hope!
Netflix is his last position!
Even if Don Pictures really can't get along in Hollywood, Don En has been kicked out of Hollywood, it doesn't matter, he still has Netflix.
At that time, Tang En, with the shell of Netflix and the platform of the Internet, will still be able to exert earth-shattering power in the field of film and television.
Even...... At that time, he no longer needed to have any restraint, he didn't need to worry about any Hollywood rules, he could do it boldly!
Hollywood's power is indeed great, but Netflix is not afraid!
Of course, this is only a last resort, and it is impossible for Don to break with Hollywood unless he is forced to do so.
Don let out a long sigh of relief, stretched, and smiled.
Luckily, at this time, Netflix took the initiative to send it to the door, and this is definitely a dragon egg with hidden light.
Once mature, the baby dragon hatches.
At that time, it was the flying dragon in the sky!
Originally, the "Platter Investment Plan" was Donn's last hole card and a lifesaver for Donn Pictures.
But now Don is more confident, compared to platter investment, Netflix is the biggest hole card!
