Feng Yiping opened a window, and the lingering autumn rain came in with the cold wind. Hastings looked at him in a puzzled manner, "Feng?"

"It's okay, you continue," Feng Yiping sat back.

"Okay," Hastings continued to talk about the issue they were talking about before, that is, the first film made by Netflix, "The Long Way Home" that has been suppressed for a long time.

"...Considering the preference of the current market, our focus of publicity is on word of mouth. We use all the relationships that can be used to ensure that after the film is released, there will be many well-known critics who will give Good reviews,"

The preference that Hastings said, naturally refers to the audience's love for the thrilling, exciting and big scenes like Iron Man or Pirates of the Caribbean.

Of course, someone likes "The Long Way Home" will like it, but you can't expect such a warm film to have the same box office performance as a movie like Iron Man.

"Also considering the preference of the market, we have arranged several promotional activities in Europe and have coordinated the time with Ang Lee, Kidman, and other actors."

On the contrary, this type of film may perform better in the European theaters at the box office than in the United States.

Perhaps it is really a difference in cultural heritage. In Europe, especially France, among the best-selling movies at the box office, there are many warm-hearted literary films like "The Long Way Home".

In the same way, such a movie can easily get praise at European film festivals.

"I think this arrangement is very appropriate. I will let other companies, NEXTDOOR, Facebook, and YouTube fully cooperate."

Although I don't have much hope for the box office of this film, it is naturally better to have more.

"Regarding "Inception", Nolan has time to start preparations. He will discuss relevant plans with us next week. I hope that it will start up before the year before," Hastings said of another Movies.

"Well," Feng Yiping originally wanted to say, this time, let his special effects company be the main force, but after thinking about some shots in Inception, he felt that he might still have to give his special effects company more time to grow.

"Pay attention to cost control. I have already mentioned to Nolan that the production of some large props and the shooting of some scenes can be arranged in China, where the cost is relatively lower. Just remember this."

Domestic Chen Tao and the others are working hard at this time, hoping to operate this film as a co-production, so that the domestic box office revenue can be greatly increased.

Although there has been some progress, it is not clear yet.

If there are more scenes filmed and produced in China, it will naturally make Chen Tao's work easier.

"Okay, I will clarify the content of this aspect when discussing the shooting plan with Nolan,"

"Next, is our first homemade drama..."

Feng Yiping stood up, "You don't need to report to me in this regard, I believe you can handle it well,"

"But given that this is the first time that Netflix has fully implemented such a project, I think you may have to spend more time and energy on organizing, coordinating, and checking than the rest of the team."

Although Netflix has already made a movie, much of the work for that movie was done by Ang Lee’s team. Of course, Feng Yiping also completed a very important work-the script, and found a good one for the movie. Director, and an influential actor like Kidman.

And the next Netflix self-made drama, from the script to the director to the actors, and all the work related to the shooting, will be mainly responsible for them, which is still a challenge for them.

"Don't worry Feng, we will definitely make a good product." People like Hastings obviously like this kind of challenge.

Feng Yiping felt that Hastings was not nervous at all, but he was looking forward to it.

This is not difficult to understand. As the person who founded Netflix, he should really be happy about this situation.

This means that Netflix has since truly entered a new field and has once again led its peers by a big step.

"At the same time, don't forget to cultivate our own propaganda power," he mentioned the weakest link in the field of film and television.

"I don't like to entrust such important work to other people to complete it," Hastings said. "I will maintain close communication and cooperation with Marvel, despite changing this situation,"

Feng Yiping nodded, "I look forward to that day come sooner,"

"Feng, then, goodbye,"

"Goodbye," Feng Yiping held his hand and shook it a few times, "Call me directly if you have any questions."

After sending Hastings away, Feng Yiping stood in front of the opened window for a while. The cool breeze and drizzle made him sober again.

The work these days is very busy, but the related progress is also very smooth. After Intel, NVIDIA and Texas Instruments have also successfully joined the alliance.

But the easiest thing is Motorola. They almost introduced it there, and they couldn't wait to join in, and they immediately asked about the status of Android.

To say that Apple released the iPhone, Motorola should be the one with the most shock among all mobile phone manufacturers.

Because Apple and Motorola have cooperated in mobile phone manufacturing before. Of course, the results of that cooperation were mediocre, but as soon as the iPhone was launched, Motorola suddenly understood that Apple’s previous cooperation with them was a steal, that is to say, the iPhone could be launched. They have made a lot of credit, but it is clear that not only did they not enjoy the relevant benefits, their lives were even more sad because of the release of the iPhone.

Previously, only the Nokia family pressed it, and now there is another Apple.

Motorola's resentment can be imagined.

Therefore, they most urgently hope to push away the two guys pressing on their heads as soon as possible.

Especially when they knew that Android had no plans to pull Nokia into this alliance, they were immediately relieved.

Of course, they also know that Android just wants to get Nokia, and it can't get in. When they were also good at Motorola a few years ago, they would never join such an alliance.

As for now... no longer qualified to pay attention to those.

However, their requirement to provide Android system as soon as possible is still not met. Of course, they will have to wait until Android is officially released.

The official release of Android requires some preparations to be completed.

"Yiping, Jobs's call,"

"Take it over,"

"Feng," Jobs's voice sounded a little deep, "These recent developments..."

"Wait a minute," Feng Yiping pressed the call button without waiting for Jobs to object, and said to Wu Qian, "Bring in Peppa and Brin too."

"I just have something to say, I want to talk to you all at once."

Jobs didn't say anything, and soon Page and Brin were pulled in.

"The current situation is very simple, just the calm before the storm," Feng Yiping said to the three of them again after saying what he had said to Teacher Zhou.

"We just have to wait. Although it seems that we have to pay a few more months of premiums, in the future, they will pay us back several times and dozens of times."

"Yes, this is the calm before the storm," this time, everyone highly agreed with his conclusion, even Jobs did not question it.

Brin said, "Feng, you read that report,"

"I want to say," Jobs' voice sounded, still a little low, and Feng Yiping sat up straight.

"Is it the data released by the Bankruptcy Association?"

Feng Yiping relaxed.

"Yes," Brin replied.

"But..." Peppa just popped out a word, and Jobs said over there, "But it has nothing to do with us, does it?"

Feng Yiping felt relieved when he heard his voice no longer as low as before.

When Jobs called, he was still worried whether he had heard the wind or not.

As for the report you mentioned, it should be the news that caused quite a stir yesterday.

The American Bankruptcy Association announced yesterday that the number of consumers who filed for bankruptcy in September increased by 23% year-on-year to nearly 69,000.

To say that this is really a topic that makes people difficult to get up. Many people automatically ignored another news that broke out yesterday. Japan's largest brokerage, Nomura Securities, suffered a loss of US$620 million last quarter due to subprime mortgages. .

As for the loss of Merrill Lynch’s third-quarter loss of US$7.9 billion that was disclosed only today, Merrill Lynch’s management may have to undergo a major change as a result, and even the CEO may have to step down. Sorry, many people feel that this is what they deserve.

It should lose more money and go bankrupt directly. It is best for all employees from executives to ordinary employees ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ to lose their jobs.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with us," Brin repeated.

But everyone can hear that his mood at this time must be very complicated.

Feng Yiping thought, including Jobs and Page, the mood at this time should be the same.

Because obviously, more Americans will file for bankruptcy in the future.

It should be said that Americans' concepts of consumption and savings make them very vulnerable when resisting similar crises.

In China, although it is said that keeping money in the bank always cannot beat inflation, when facing similar difficulties, the more or less savings in the passbook can play a significant role, and everyone can benefit from each other. .

But in the United States, many families bought all kinds of stocks and securities even if they had a surplus. At this time, many of their investments went to naught, plus mortgage, car loans and other bills that needed to be repaid...

Because most families are like this, it is difficult for relatives and friends to think about money.

Feng Yiping's mood is more complicated.

Regardless of his perception of the United States, thinking that more and more Americans will go bankrupt, and many families will live on the streets because of this. In any case, this is not an easy task.

In addition, at this time, he and Jobs are still good friends and good partners, but soon, this situation may change...

"The point is, we can't solve this problem," Page said.

This is natural. In the face of such a problem, any individual strength is too weak.

"Well, let's not talk about it, Feng, come back as soon as possible, and don't forget to promote our movie in China," Brin said.

"no problem,"

After finishing the call, Feng Yiping lay down on the chair for a while, then he closed the open window.

He felt a little cold.
