The first thousand two hundred and thirty-four chapters are not idle

The temporarily defeated side is reviewing and adjusting, and the temporarily defeated side is also not idle.

This is an era where there will be no progress and retreat. The more companies and individuals are in the leading position, the more they understand this truth.

While Redstone was nervous about some of his company's executives, Raffaran Murdoch met with executives from another major Hollywood company in a high-end club in Hollywood.

"Hello Zhuke," he went to the door himself to bring a tall, glasses, hair less than his old Murdoch. He lost his baldness to the back of his head, leaving only his temples with hair, and a relatively well-known actor in Hollywood. Stanley Tuzzi welcomed him in.

"Hello Raffarin, you've done a great job lately," said Jeff Zucker, head of NBC Global Group, entertainment, news and cable business, and one of the strong competitors of the future helmsman of the large media group of General Electric, backed by General Electric.

"Haha, thank you, but no matter what, you can't compare with Juke. We all know that you have created "Today" that has been the first in the same period for ten consecutive years," said Raffaran.

He knew that Zucker praised their outstanding performance in the acquisition of myspace, so he also praised Zucker's greatest achievements.

Mr. Zhuke, who failed to get into Harvard Law School, is also very difficult. He can also be said to be one of the youngest and promising representatives in the industry. At the age of 26, he served as the producer of the NBC morning news program "the                                                                                              �

After becoming the youngest executive in the industry, Zhu Ke shines, and for the past ten years, "Today" has been the number one column in the United States with morning news ratings.

This is indeed a very amazing achievement.

"It's all the achievements of the past," Zhuke waved his hand. "Your achievements are worthy of recognition. After myspace was successfully acquired, it's less than a quarter. Everyone's achievements have been amazed,"

After myspace joined News Corp., the number of registered users increased rapidly. Although it is still incomparable to Facebook, relying on the big tree of News Corp. is much better than the previous ones.

It brings more gains to News Corp. Raffar and others proudly announced not long ago that due to myspace, the traffic of News Corp.com websites has successfully doubled.

More than one analyst has pointed out that if myspace is valuated now, it should be close to $1 billion - this is also the reason why Lei Shidong is furious.

“In the Internet age, we can’t fall behind,” said Raffaran. “Juke, this is also the question I want to discuss with you today.”

Zhuke nodded. Raffaran has met many heads of TV networks and film companies in the past two days. He naturally knows about the relevant situation.

"Zuke, how do you think about the prospects of Hollywood?" asked Raffaran.

"I think with the improvement of the economy and the rapid development of special effects technology, at least in the next few years, the box office of the top ten movies will see a significant increase," said Zhuke.

Since Hollywood started the era of blockbusters at the end of the last century, the box office of popular movies has been setting new highs every year.

"It is true that both of us have a series of movies that are getting higher and higher in the box office," said Raffaran. "But Zhuke, do you think that as major products factories are investing more and more resources to make blockbusters and make a movie, it is becoming more and more like a gamble?"

"Yes," Zhuke also sighed, "just as if it was well filmed, the rewards brought by blockbusters are actually not much different from small and medium-sized movies,"

"Just say that the Titanic produced by your company has an investment of 200 million yuan and a box office of 600 million yuan. The next year, DreamWorks' "Save Private Ryan" has only a box office of 210 million yuan, but the investment is only 70 million yuan," he said.

"Yes, if the filming is not good, the Titanic will bring at least a loss of over 100 million US dollars," Raffaran said.

"The problem is, now we have to spend 80% of our budget on 20% of our movies and make blockbusters that are increasingly investing in," said Zhuke.

In the past, films filmed by film companies were distributed in order in terms of investment, including more than 3                                                                                                                   

They represent the most important super blockbusters, ordinary blockbusters mainly composed of traditional genres, movies shot for a specific group of people, and movies made up for numbers to ensure that they can maintain their relationship with the screening channels and promotional channels.

The current trend is that there are more and more high-investment movies in the first two categories, which naturally brings high risks.

"I think the risks brought by this are that even Mr. Feng, who has just acquired Marvel, who has always been famous for his good vision, cannot be avoided," said Raffaran.

"Haha, I think no one can always accurately predict the box office of a movie," said Zhuke. "From the sci-fi attributes that Marvel has brought, this is destined to be the main ones in the future, which are mainly high investments. I think we are all looking forward to their performance,"

"Haha," Raffalan laughed too.

Like many Hollywood people, they are looking forward to watching Marvel, just watching Feng Yiping's jokes.

"But Zhuke, I think some of Mr. Feng's decisions are worth learning from. Taibai said that the reason why we quickly acquired myspace was not only optimistic about its potential and the improvement it brought to our comfort business, but the booming development of nextdoor and Facebook founded by Mr. Feng is also an important reason for supporting us to make this decision," Raffaran added.

"In the Internet field, Mr. Feng has a good vision," Zhuke couldn't deny this, "Then, the purpose of you asking me for today..." He looked at Raffarin.

"Yes," Raffaran nodded affirmatively, "After careful analysis, we felt that Netflix acquired by Mr. Feng is also a very good business model."

"Compared with you, I have contacted many industry insiders in the past two days, and the ones I talked to them all are all about this issue,"

"I think, since Netflix can develop to the point where it is today, and even Feng Yiping is optimistic about Netflix's model, why can't we do it ourselves?"

"We all know that Netflix and Youtube will definitely integrate in the future. The focus of their future business should be from DVD rental to online videos. In this regard, we have inherent advantages, right?"

"Look, we not only have film companies, but also our own TV network. We have produced many excellent movies, TV series, and variety shows. Users also highly recognize the works we produce,"

"If we launch similar projects, at least, in the field of video resources, we will definitely be ahead of Netflix. If we join forces, our video resources will not only be more, but also updated. I think this will definitely be welcomed by many users,"

"Another very good news is that the technical threshold of a video website was very high, and this was not the field we were good at. Now, these are not problems. The related technologies are developing very maturely,"

"We have consulted professionals, and the result is that as long as the funds are not a problem, at least half a year or a year, we can create a very excellent online video website. Of course, we can also take into account the DVD rental business,"

Speaking of this, the purpose of the raffle is already very clear.

After the initial success of following the trend investment social networking website, they wanted to copy Feng Yiping's other successful project - online video website.

"If this is true, it can still effectively combat piracy," Zucker added.

"You're right, then Zhuke, what do you think of this project?" asked Raffaran.

"Do you want to join forces with several of our large companies to jointly invest in such a new project?" Zhu Ke asked.

"Yes, that's what I mean," said Raffallan. "In the past two days, many industry insiders have expressed optimism about this project. A company like NBC Global, which has strong strength and high influence in the industry, is naturally our most welcome partner."

"It sounds good, but it's so different from our original business model. You know, this will definitely have a series of subsequent impacts, and the profitability of this project..."

He looked up and said, "I'm optimistic about this project, but I can't decide now. I think we need to know more about it."

"It's understandable that this is our report on this project," Raffarin handed him a folder.

Zhuke's statement has already made him very satisfied, "I'll give it to you, and I look forward to hearing your good news as soon as possible."
