Start by trimming cow hooves

After a period of fermentation.

More and more netizens are aware of Netflix Entertainment and "The Walking Dead". More than 20 days after the first episode was released, more than 16 million netizens have watched it.

It’s not that it has more than 16 million views, but it’s that I have finished the first episode.

According to subsequent statistics, more than 50% of users are from the United States, and the rest are from Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia and other places.

I don’t know what made “The Walking Dead” famous in India, and it also successfully attracted a large number of Indian netizens, with about three to four million people following it.

It's a pity that Asan is too poor.

Baidu is not bad, it is too difficult to expect them to subscribe.

It doesn't matter if this group of users exists or not, it just makes the data released to the outside a little more beautiful.

If the mainland market, which is not included in the statistics and is also unable to provide revenue, is included in the statistics, the total number of viewers may be doubled or tripled.

The thought of losing so much potential income makes Su Rui's body hurt so much that she can't breathe.

After his proposal.

The company is discussing to provide low-quality, low-cost special edition membership services with advertisements in a number of developing countries and regions, including India.

All we can say about this is that it is better to make less money than to make no money at all. The basic membership price is likely to be compressed to about 3 US dollars.

In the Mainland, due to censorship, it is difficult to start business even if the price is reduced. Suri's plan is to wait until the time is right to sell the online broadcast rights to a certain video website in the Mainland.

As for how it will be cut and which highlights will be cut out, it has nothing to do with Netflix Entertainment.

No matter what.

Anyway, the popularity of "The Walking Dead" has far exceeded Suri's expectations.

He originally thought that it would take a while to see improvement, but it turned out that he had chosen the right direction for his second venture. Compared with some industries that require selling products to others, it is easier to do online TV business. As long as the quality of the film and television series is good enough, The users themselves came to the door.

As the popularity has increased, the original plan to spend 10 million US dollars on promotion was temporarily shelved by Suri.

Instead of wasting money on promotion, it is better to strike while the iron is hot and make more good dramas.

Judging from this situation, there may be an opportunity to produce one or two more dramas this year.

For example, The Big Bang Theory.

Sitcoms are usually shot in studios, so planning is not difficult. Suri has watched it twice and was deeply impressed by the characters.

…

January 14th.

The release date of the fourth episode of "The Walking Dead" will definitely attract a large number of users to recharge since it requires a membership to watch it.

The software development department at the headquarters has worked overtime and tested many times to confirm repeatedly that there will be no problems.

Due to the time differences around the world, some people will not watch it immediately. The backend server has been upgraded again after spending money. In theory, it can barely accommodate 3.5 million people online at the same time.

The company is growing too fast.

It was only officially established in October last year, and its foundation is too shallow. In just three months, it has attracted more than 10 million users. In some aspects, it has not yet caught up.

Technical and management trivial matters are all handled by the team led by CEO Ricky Trenz, so Suri doesn't have to worry too much.

At Netflix Film and Television Company in Hollywood, the human resources department has been busy recruiting people, and the officially hired screenwriting team has expanded to more than 70 people.

With Suri changing his mind about living on Lanai all year round, it seems that there is no need to arrange all the writing studios on the island.

Some capable screenwriters will choose to give up on joining because they need to move, change houses, and be separated from their families. The studio is too far away, which is not conducive to attracting talents, and it also increases costs.

Suri lived in Hollywood, and Daddario had the opportunity to come over to see him during his weekend break.

The two mentioned when they talked on the phone that they had started filming the content of the seventh episode script. The actors and crew were in good shape and the progress was accelerating.

Everyone seems to be very busy, but Suri is still doing nothing. All the work combined can be done in just one hour every day.

The afternoon of the 14th.

He received an unexpected invitation from Lily Collins.

The girl was on the phone and said that in order to thank him for helping to get the female lead role in "The Vampire Diaries", she was going to treat him to dinner tonight. It happened to be that a new high-end Chinese restaurant had opened near Rodeo Drive.

To be fair.

Although Lily Collins is not as hot and sexy as Daddario, nor does she have the appearance and figure of Yuko Hoshino, Suri has a good impression of her. She has a lively personality like a girl next door and is very relaxed when chatting.

A few months ago, the two had a small story at a mansion in Beverly Hills, and their relationship became estranged afterwards.

Feeling that it was good to get along as friends now, and since he had nothing else to do, he readily agreed to the dinner tonight.

Watch TV at home, take a shower and change clothes after working out, and get in the car and go out.

I had never noticed it before. It wasn’t until today when I was passing by Rodeo Drive that Suri discovered that a Tesla flagship store had opened here.

The company has only developed one car in total, and there is nothing to see in the store.

At most, you can change the interior color and paint color. The sales volume of the Roadster electric sports car is so low now that opening a physical store is a loss-making proposition.

Lily Collins is still the same.

As a student who has just entered the university campus, she already has a newly purchased Range Rover as a mobility scooter.

A typical person who is addicted to food. He watched her helplessly and twisted for a few minutes before parking the car sideways. Suri was very irritable.

Seeing Suri standing on the roadside wearing a peaked cap, Lily smiled brightly, put the car keys into her handbag, and asked:

"What are you doing here, waiting for me?"

"I happened to see you when I got off the car, so wait, why can't you think about buying such a big car?"

Lily answered him:

"My mom's driver usually helps me, so it's easy to park from school to my house. There are too many cars here."

Suri almost forgot that she was still a young rich woman, and continued to ask: "Is someone from the company looking for you to sign a contract? How much salary are you talking about?"

"USD 50,000 per episode is already a very good price for a newcomer like me. Sometimes when you are a supporting actor in a movie, you can only get so much."

Lily has a father worth 200 million pounds, and her mother is also good at financial management.

She has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. Compared with how much money she makes from filming, she pays more attention to taking the opportunity to prove herself and build a career.

Su Rui smacked her lips and reminded:

"From a friend's perspective, I should advise you to find a more reliable agent. The salary of US$50,000 is a bit low. You are the heroine this time."

Lily's little mind suddenly froze, and after a while she said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry:

"This is your company, how can you think that the salary of employees is low? I am very, very satisfied with this number. It seems that I will develop it into a series of TV series. If the ratings are good, it will be OK to give me a little increase."

Suri replied:

"I'm worried that if I don't pay enough, you will be poached by other companies. Many companies are now trying to make trouble for me."

Lily was confident about this and said with a bright smile:

"Don't worry, I won't forget who helped me. As long as you don't cancel this show, I will continue to act. Even if director James Cameron asks me to be the heroine, I will stay for you. Release date."

Su Rui immediately became happy after hearing this and said:

"Really? I'm just afraid that if I call you then, you'll suddenly ask me, who are you..."
