"The Departed" has already been released in the United States.

However, this is not a commercial blockbuster, and it does not need to be released simultaneously around the world like those popular movies in the summer file.

This is a literary film with sharp themes and complex film language.

It's good to be able to release it all over the world one after another before December.

In fact, because of the sensitive content involved, as well as the stubbornness and stubbornness of director Martin Scorsese, he said that he was unwilling to "castrate" the movie and cut part of the content to affect the overall story rhythm, which led to the film "The Departed" being banned in the mainland.

The main creators of "The Departed" are still promoting around the world, with the Asian part led by Don and the European part led by Leonardo.

Finally, they will meet at the Hong Kong government for final publicity.

After all, "The Departed" is based on the Hong Kong film "Infernal Affairs".

All the main creators of the film went to the Hong Kong government to do a high-profile promotion, which is a reflection of the respect for the original movie "Infernal Affairs".

Remakes of movies are bound to pay all sorts of tributes to the original film, which is a Hollywood convention.

When Don came to Japan, he had a ...... They were greatly welcomed, and they all warmly called for the feeling of "welcome Don to Japan".

Nozomi Sasaki and Yui Aragaki were dressed up beautifully, and they came to the airport to pick them up in person in a nanny car.

is accompanied by Japan's god of the entertainment industry, Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

However, this Zhou Fang Yuxiong, who is calling for wind and rain in the Japanese entertainment industry, is obedient and groveling in front of Don, like a horse boy.

When Donn got off the plane, he dropped little Taylor to the car her dad had sent him.

In Asia, there are too many girls around him.

With little Taylor, inconvenient.

As soon as he got into the nanny car, Tang En comfortably hugged Nozomi Sasaki and Yui Aragaki in his arms, pure and delicate soft girls, which are almost difficult to meet in Europe and the United States.

Don didn't need to shy away from it, he hugged him in his arms and kissed him intimately for a while.

The two girls had bright red faces and snuggled up in his arms.

"Why are you two here?"

Tang En hugged left and right, warm and fragrant, satisfied.

I always feel that it is more comfortable to travel to Asia.

More comfortable than staying in Hollywood!

In Hollywood, he was like a king.

Come to South Korea and Japan for a turn, this is simply imperial treatment.

Nozomi Sasaki counted her fingers and said, "Masami has come home, as if something happened to her father...... Maki and Sister Aoi are out of the film again, but they are rushing back from out of town. ”

"Masami?" Don raised his eyebrows, a little strange, "What's wrong with his father?

Aragaki Yui smiled brightly: "No, his father used to be an athlete, and his health is good." But...... I don't know if I heard that I wanted her to help. ”

Nozomi Sasaki excitedly said, "I know! Her father is a football player...... Now I have changed my career to become a football coach, and I have always wanted to study in Europe, but I have not had many opportunities. Yamike is filial, and when she heard that you were coming, she wanted to go back and ask her father what he meant. ”

"Me?"

Donn's eyes widened, a little surprised.

Nozomi Sasaki laughed and said, "We all know that Odo-chan has a football club!"

"Yes, Liverpool Football Club!"

Aragaki Yui added with a smile.

Don nodded, a little puzzled in his heart.

He's Masami Nagasawa's father.

It's not nice to say.

Masami Nagasawa can understand filial piety, but how can she explain this relationship to her parents after she goes home?

It's unrealistic to say that you are friends!

The identity gap between Don and Masami Nagasawa is too big.

Help for no reason?

Even less realistic!

This is not Japanese culture.

In the Japanese social environment, what I am most afraid of is causing trouble to others, and what I care about the most is that I will not be able to do anything. In the morning, a neighbor's house brought an apple, and in the afternoon, two bananas must be returned.

Tang En shook his head, looked at Zhou Fang Yuxiong, who had been avoiding his gaze and looking out of the window, and asked casually, "I heard that Netflix Japan is developing well?"

Zhou Fang Yuxiong turned his head at this time, with a flush of excitement on his face, "Okay, very good! In the third quarter, a profit of 450 million yen was made! It is equivalent to ...... $4 million. ”

"Huh?"

Don was also a little surprised.

Profitable?

More than $4 million?

Just kidding, right?

Netflix owns 49% of Netflix Japan, but Netflix Japan has the right to operate independently, just like Yahoo Japan.

Tang En is usually so busy, it is impossible to pay attention to the small company Netflix Japan, and the report he saw by chance seems to be the number of members and users of Netflix Japan now...... It has already exceeded 1 million.

1 million users, $15 per user per month, that's $15 million.

Including advertising, sponsorship and other revenues, the total revenue in a quarter will not exceed $50 million.

$50 million in revenue, $4 million in profit?

That's an exaggeration, right?

Zhou Fang Yuxiong said excitedly: "Netflix Japan has exceeded 400,000 member users in the first half of its existence, and it has already achieved profitability. At the current momentum, the fourth quarter ...... Netflix Japan's profits will be over $6 million!"

Don was a little incredulous: "How is that possible?"

That's moving too fast, isn't it?

Netflix in the United States, with the support of such a strong channel as New Universal, has now more than 17 million users, and it is barely breaking even.

Netflix Japan ...... Why can you make so much money?

Just because of the lack of competitors, the industry monopolies?

Zhou Fang Yuxiong said with a smile: "Yahoo Japan is a shareholder of Netflix Japan! We have the best technology from Netflix, the best recommendation system, the largest film and television resource library, as well as my contacts in Japan, and Yahoo Japan's strong promotion capabilities. Netflix Japan is growing fast, but Yahoo Japan's development speed back then was just as amazing!"

Well, Japan has very developed Internet resources, which are far better than Europe, and on the same level as the United States.

However, Japan's website is very backward.

In fact, Japan's national character is very strong.

After the advent of Yahoo Japan, it quickly became the number one website in Japan.

Even when Google has become the world's largest search engine, Japanese netizens are rejecting Google on their own initiative and are using Yahoo Japan, a state-owned brand search engine.

Yahoo Japan's market capitalization is now on par with Yahoo's!

Japan's online market is developed and huge, and it lacks excellent resources, so once a good "Japanese product" appears, it will inevitably become a hot hit.

Netflix Japan came into being in this environment.

It can be seen from the major shareholders of Netflix Japan.

In addition to Netflix's 49% stake, SoftBank has 10%, Yahoo Japan has 10%, Zhou Fang Yuxiong has 11%, and 20% of the vacant financing share.

With so many powerful background traders, the freak of "Netflix Japan" was directly born.

It is conceivable that before the emergence of streaming platforms, Netflix Japan's performance was far ahead of Netflix!

After all, these are two countries.

In the United States, the leasing of film and television content does not require capital tax, but there is a business tax. In addition, part of the income must be paid to the union in accordance with the agreement, and the copyright fee must be paid to the film company, which is the largest expense.

80% of Netflix's revenue is spent here.

In addition, there are the operating expenses of the website, the overhead of management, the wear and tear of discs, the rent of the warehouse, and the additional expenses of the price war with Pepsi......

Moreover, the United States is too large, and labor is too expensive.

The cost of shipping DVD discs in the United States is much higher than in Japan.

Don couldn't accept the fact that Netflix Japan surpassed Netflix in just one year, and his expression was a little strange, "Netflix Japan's current valuation ...... How many? Really a billion dollars?"

At the beginning, when Don proposed the concept of Netflix Japan, in order to fool everyone into joining the group, he shouted the slogan of "a new concept of 1 billion US dollars".

Unexpectedly, in just one year, what seems to be a unicorn company was really born!

This speed is not as fast as Yahoo Japan back then, but it is shocking enough!

Zhou Fang Yuxiong smiled: "We don't have Wall Street's valuation standards on our side. However, Seibu Group's intention to buy a 5% stake at a valuation of $1.5 billion was rejected by management. ”

A look of pride, a look of satisfaction.

This is the fundamental reason why he is willing to be a horse boy for Donne!

Before Netflix Japan, he controlled Japan's largest brokerage firm, Burning Firm, and was known as the most powerful person in the entertainment industry. But the net worth is not much.

Well, now Netflix Japan made him turn over!

It has truly achieved a double harvest of power and wealth.

"$1.5 Billion Valuation ......"

Don secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

OK!

Mentally balanced.

The valuation of Internet companies is not based on current performance, but on future potential.

Netflix Japan's performance is really much better than Netflix's right now.

But the number of Netflix users in Japan is really too small, only more than 1 million, and it is not at the same level as Netflix at all.

The user represents the potential!

Netflix's current valuation has exceeded $6.5 billion!

Of course, different environments will cause different valuations.

If Netflix Japan had 17 million users, the valuation would be ...... I'm afraid that 20 billion dollars can't stop it!

"Netflix Japan is your company?"

Tang En and Zhou Fang Yuxiong talked for so long, and the ignorant Nozomi Sasaki seemed to hear something, and asked with a surprised face.

"Can't you?"

Don smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

Nozomi Sasaki's face turned red, and he pursed his lips and said, "It's amazing!"

Aragaki Yui's eyes were also shining.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong was well-informed, and Tang En's appearance of hugging left and right was a little moved at first glance, so he smiled and persuaded him: "Sir, we have another group of female artists in our firm...... The newcomers adore you very much, why don't we go over and meet them?"

"Oh, how?"

"A group. ”()
