Chapter 244: final frontier
On the private plane, Natalie was half lying and half leaning on Dunn's arms, and whispered in his ear: "I feel... you seem to have restrained a lot recently."
"Convergence? What?"
"Woman."
Tang En couldn't help laughing, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "That... Actually, in the crew, Nicole and I have always lived together."
"She's an old lover, that doesn't count."
Natalie rolled her eyes and said sneakily: "I have observed that there are quite a few pretty girls in the "Beautiful Mind" crew. From what I know about you, if you had been filming for half a month before, it wouldn't have happened. You know how many girls you're going to spoil."
"How can it be so exaggerated?" Dunn glared at her.
In any production crew, there will be no shortage of beautiful girls, especially a film like "A Beautiful Mind" that involves college campuses. But most of them are on the periphery of group performances and waiting for opportunities. There is only one actress who is really well-known, Nicole Kidman.
There are too many goblins in Hollywood, and no matter how energetic Dunn is, it is impossible to meet each other one by one... After dating, you must choose the best.
In particular, some low-level and peripheral actresses, in order to ascend to the top, have endless means, even regardless of the consequences and the price.
If you slept with the wrong person and suffered a bad influence, it would not be worth the loss.
Comparatively speaking, in this regard, the more famous actors are, the more reliable they are.
"You know, I'm having a lot of trouble with Disney right now, try not to let them hold the handle. Maybe among those beautiful girls in the crew, there's Disney's hidden nails?" Dunn shook his head, this is by no means an alarmist.
Natalie pursed her lips and looked at him playfully, "I thought you were the devil of the world, so you know you're afraid?"
Tang En said angrily, "My personality is strong, it doesn't mean I'm stupid!"
Natalie covered her mouth and giggled.
At this time, Dunn's cell phone rang, and when he looked down, it was Reese Witherspoon.
"Reese, is something wrong?"
"There's one thing, I... uh, you know, there's a huge chunk of my alumni circle who are starting businesses, especially Silicon Valley, which is very crowded."
Reese Witherspoon's tone was embarrassed. During this time, there have been six or seven Stanford alumni who have entrusted her with the relationship. Most of them are high-tech companies that cannot survive the technology stock market crash, hoping to obtain financing from Dunn.
Dunn's money did not come from strong winds. The reason why he dared to invest in Wall Street and Silicon Valley was because of his foresight.
For some companies he's never heard of, it doesn't matter if you're from Stanford or not!
Tang En said indifferently: "Reese, you can delay this kind of thing in the future. High-tech companies are collectively ruined. It is a trend and a general trend. 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 ... is a much older senior, I really can't put it off." Reese Witherspoon said embarrassingly.
"Okay, let's talk about it, what company is that?" Tang En has rejected many financing applications in a row, not more than one.
"It was an online rental of videotapes..."
"Don't be so troublesome!" Tang En interrupted her immediately and talked on the plane. Due to technical reasons, the signal was not bad. He simply said: "Tell me the name of the company directly."
"Netflix."
"what?"
"Netflix!"
Dunn, who was originally snuggling with Natalie, sat up straight, with a bit of excitement on his face, his face flushed red, "You mean... this company is Netflix, which operates online video rentals. ?"
"That's right. Huh? Have you heard of it?"
Dunn almost burst out laughing.
Have you only heard of it?
It's just like thunder!
Now Tang En, a bit of a one-on-one Hollywood posture, he carries the "sunglass system" and has foresight. It can be said that he has gathered the luck of the entire Hollywood in one.
Even so, his survival in Hollywood is very difficult, and Disney alone almost completely destroyed him.
However, Netflix... in the real world, it really competes against the entire Hollywood company with its own power!
With the rise of the Internet, the traditional model of Hollywood is being submerged by the historical stage little by little. Movies and TV are no longer the exclusive platforms of Hollywood.
In particular, the rise of streaming media has brought dramatic changes to the landscape of Hollywood. Even giant groups such as 20th Century Fox and Time Warner are facing the competitive pressure of streaming media due to the advent of the Internet age and are forced to choose to sell.
And the leader of streaming media is Netflix!
It will take ten years for Netflix to truly develop a streaming media business.
In fact, Hollywood has long seen the impact of the advent of the Internet age on traditional fields, so in 2007, companies such as Twentieth Century Fox, Disney, Universal and other companies established the streaming media website hulu.
Backed by several giants, hulu has an unrivaled film source advantage over other companies.
However, with the rise of Netflix, they have developed three major businesses of "on-demand, online payment, and online rental" for movies over the years. Once they transform into streaming media, the huge number of users and service experience will be immediately given to Netflix. brought about a qualitative leap.
Even though Netflix was restricted by Hollywood's copyright, Netflix quickly found a new way out, and the emergence of self-made web dramas directly made Netflix prosperous.
In particular, a "House of Cards" made Netflix's name spread to every corner of the world, and the company's market value shot up to 70 billion US dollars!
The combined market value of all streaming media companies in the world is not as good as Netflix!
Later, Netflix even made an ambitious movie. Although it is still subject to the checks and balances of Hollywood, the review of the American Film Institute will definitely be ups and downs.
But Netflix doesn't care at all. Netflix's self-made movies are not shown in theaters at all, but are directly placed on the Internet 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 US dollars!
You must know that Time Warner Group was sold in a package, and the price was only $85 billion; most of the assets of Twentieth Century Fox were split and sold, and the price was only $52 billion.
Such a great company was forced to ask Reese Witherspoon at the time of this technology stock market crash, just to get on the line of Dunn to get financial support.
Speaking of which, it's both ridiculous and ironic.
"Reese, tell your senior, just say I appreciate Netflix's o2o model that combines online and offline, let him tomorrow...the day after tomorrow morning, I will meet him in the office!"
Dunn endured the excitement and excitement in his heart, and seemed to have seen a building that developed in the future.
Netflix~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is his last front!
Dunn, who is in Hollywood, does have a golden finger, but this does not mean that he can do whatever he wants and be invincible. Facing the pressure of Disney, he will often be powerless.
If... one day, Dunn aroused public anger and was sanctioned by the entire Hollywood; or Disney came up with generous compensation, talked through several other giants, and joined forces to besiege Dunn Pictures.
So even if Tang En has a golden finger, it is nonsense, don't try to escape such a collective encirclement and suppression.
During this period of time, this was the biggest burden on Dunn's heart.
However, the appearance of Netflix gave him hope!
Netflix is his last position!
Even if Dunn Pictures really can't survive in Hollywood, Dunn will be kicked out of Hollywood, it doesn't matter, he still owns Netflix.
At that time, with the shell of Netflix and the platform of the Internet, Tang En can still exert an earth-shattering power in the fields of film and television.
Even... at that time, he no longer needed to have any restraint, no need to scruple any Hollywood rules, and he could do it drasticly!
The power of Hollywood is indeed great, but Netflix is not afraid!
Of course, this is only the last choice, and it is impossible for Dunn to break with Hollywood unless he has to.
Tang En let out a long sigh of relief, stretched out, and smiled knowingly.
It's really good luck. At this time, Netflix took the initiative to deliver it to the door. This is definitely a dragon egg with its light hidden.
Once mature, baby dragons hatch.
At that time, it was the flying dragon in the sky!
Originally, the "Assortment Investment Plan" was Dunn's last trump card and the life-saving straw of Dunn Pictures.
But now Dunn has more confidence. Compared with platter investment, Netflix is the biggest trump card!
