The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 721 Mobile client

Actors are also an important resource in Hollywood, and Ronan recalled something about Jessica Chastain, an actress who was once a representative of Hollywood's hardworking and dedicated community.

If some of the circumstances in retrospect are true, this one also looks like Jessica Felton, a real feminist.

Once, as a professional at the Juilliard School, it took nearly ten years of running around to become famous, which is not easy to think about.

Without a background, without the care and support of great people, and without a little bit of luck, it is really difficult to succeed.

By the time she becomes famous, Model Worker will also grow old.

Ronan asked Connie to collect information about Jessica Chastain. There are suitable roles in the future, and this actress can be properly considered.

Not to mention anything else, at least let Shahai Entertainment sign a long-term contract with her.

In addition, the collected information shows that Jessica Chastain was really called Jessica Howard before. She grew up with her mother and stepfather, and no one outside knows who her biological father is.

Combined with a somewhat similar appearance to Bryce Dallas Howard, it's easy to associate.

For example, a singer from the East was rumored to be an illegitimate child because of his iconic big nose...

The weekend is coming, and among the many films prepared by the Embassy Pictures for the awards season, there will be new seed players. The Storm of Overheard will be screened in Los Angeles on a scale of five theaters in order to get tickets for the Oscar selection.

The Embassy Pictures has already applied for the Oscar for this film. In order to concentrate its limited investment resources, it only applied for the selection of the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

Thanks to the addition of European Film Awards, Italy's David Award, Berlin's Golden Bear Award and France's César Award for best film, The Storm still attracted a small number of American audiences.

Although it is only a small group, it is not a problem to fill five on-demand theaters.

In the first weekend of North American screening, the average single-house box office of Eavesdropping Storm was close to 30,000 US dollars, and it earned more than 14 US dollars at the box office in five theaters.

Not bad for a European film, and still a non-English film.

Because it is competing for the best foreign language film Oscar, the film can only have English subtitles, and cannot replace the original German version with English dubbing.

There is basically no replacement for overseas films when they come to the North American market.

After the first movie weekend of Eavesdropping, the reputation of film critics exploded. Rotten Tomatoes collected nearly 60 professional film reviews, almost all of which were positive, with a freshness rate as high as 95%.

The reputation of the media is also overwhelming. Dozens of media invited by the embassy film industry scored the film 89 points.

For Western mainstream thought, this film is really extremely politically correct.

The influence of political correctness on the Oscars can never be ignored.

Even, this has become a more critical award criterion far beyond the quality of the film.

This kind of film about human freedom has always been Oscar's favorite.

The key films of Embassy Pictures this awards season are Crash and When Happiness Knocks on the Door. The investment in Eavesdropping Storm is limited. Good reputation and suitable themes are also conducive to the film's impact on the best foreign language film awards.

Ronan's attention is not on Eavesdropping Storm, but has turned to the Netflix network.

After nearly a year of preparation and more than half a year of negotiations, Netflix reached an agreement with Motorola and Samsung, and Netflix's mobile client will become a pre-installed program on the smartphones of the two companies.

For services such as Netflix video, Netflix rental and Netflix streaming media, the specific cooperation will not start until next year.

The most promising company, Netflix, was the first to go public and became a pioneer.

If the response is good, starting from January next year, Netflix will share the micro-end, and other business sectors will be connected one after another.

Limited by the market popularity brought about by the high price of smartphones, mobile clients will certainly not be able to spread as quickly as social micro-clients once did.

But the first-mover advantage, as well as the exclusivity agreements signed with the two major mobile phone manufacturers, will also give Netflix a big step ahead of its competitors.

Ronan has been eyeing the social, video and streaming markets.

Today is still the age of blogging, and Twitter is still unknown; online video Netflix is ​​an independent company, and you can’t find it at all, so it should not have been established yet; apart from Netflix, there is no related concept in the market.

The free travel and immediacy shared by Netflix have already attracted many celebrities to settle in. Needless to say, Hollywood, which has always been at the forefront of trends, even the commercial street and political circles have many well-known figures who have taken the initiative to open accounts.

For example, the real estate developer surnamed Tang in New York is now an active user of Netflix, and he will send some messages every few days to complain and satirize other people.

It seems not far away for Naifei to rule the country.

In Washington DC, many young members of Congress are also users of Netflix. For example, the Heitan Congressman from Illinois is not only extremely active in Netflix, but also attracts people through this increasingly broad and open platform. To a large number of leftist supporters.

As for the two factions of democracy and republic, the matter of sharing words through Netflix also happens from time to time.

Netflix sharing is gradually penetrating into all aspects of life in the United States through the increasingly popular Internet and computers.

It's a pity that the banking industry is a mountain that is almost impossible to read, otherwise Ronan would have the heart to engage in online payment.

But this aspect is completely different from the Internet industry. Not only must we be cautious, but we cannot even touch it without a strong consortium.

The former one, who knows how much has been paid, and how much is still in his hands, and no one knows.

Some industries and business circles can compete and develop as much as they want, and even have enough space, but some things, if touched, the consequences will be very serious.

It is not impossible to become the public enemy of American capital.

Ronan knew very well that in terms of Hollywood and its related industries as well as the emerging Internet industry, as long as there are a few capable partners, there will be a lot of potential in the future, and there is no need to ask for those big troubles.

Snakes swallow elephants by chance, but what is the result of ants swallowing elephants?

The people at Netflix are still stepping up negotiations with Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Since there are no other competitors of the same category in the market, the negotiations are actually close to reaching an agreement.

While negotiating with these mobile phone manufacturers, Netflix is ​​also proposing that several parties jointly establish a cooperation alliance to safeguard the common interests of major manufacturers and brands in this industry and raise the entry threshold of mobile phones and their smart operating systems as much as possible.

This kind of negotiation must be a long-term process of competition and compromise, and it cannot be completed overnight.

If Netflix wants to promote the Android system that is still under development and design, it also needs stronger strength.

Fortunately, this proposal is also in the interests of the current major mobile phone giants. No one wants new giants in the mobile phone industry to carve up the market, and they are all very interested in it.

The least interested is Nokia, which is seeking to acquire Symbian.

How to develop in the future, to some extent, seems to be inclined to how the Netflix network will develop.

If Netflix is ​​still a company like it is now, and wants to promote the Android system all over the world, it is a dream.

But after going public next year, Netflix will become an Internet giant, and the situation will be completely different.

To be honest, several people once thought that Nokia, one of the two giants in the mobile phone industry, would fall into such a situation in the mobile phone market, and finally had to divest the mobile phone business.

When Ronan heard that Nokia was spinning off its mobile phone business, he was shocked.

The current Nokia mobile phone is synonymous with durable leather. On the Internet, it is said that it is the favorite of African mercenaries. It is said that it can be carried in the chest pocket and can block bullets.

It is not known how credible this rumor is, but Ronan once had personal experience. The Nokia candy bar mobile phone he used while studying was dropped from a height of more than two meters and fell apart. Not only did the screen not break, he picked up all the parts. , After finding someone to repair the phone and installing it, it can still be used normally.

The Nokia mobile phone at that time could also be said to be a kind of belief, but later on, the Nokia brand, like Motorola, gradually became a trend of sentimentality.

Atlanta, the capital of Georgia.

A slightly old second-hand Ford sedan parked in front of a single-family house on the roadside. Adrian picked up the mobile phone box on the co-pilot, and after getting out of the car, he flew towards his home without even locking the door. run away.

Back home, he first opened the packing box and took out the new Motorola smartphone E680, which was launched in September.

The silver mobile phone has a super large screen that other mobile phones do not have. It not only has a touch screen function, but also can log in to the Internet through the mobile communication network.

Of course, such a phone is also expensive.

Adrian had just received his first formal job salary in his life, so he specially bought such a mobile phone as a reward for himself.

Hi, Ed. Mother walked from the living room: We're going to the supermarket, are you going?

Adrian put all his energy on the new phone, and waved his hand: No.

The parents left soon, and Adrian fiddled with the phone for a while, and found a familiar icon on it-Netflix!

As a loyal Netflix user, he immediately clicked on the icon and followed the simple and clear instructions to log in to his Netflix account. To his surprise, he found that his Netflix sharing interface appeared on the phone screen in another form.

Although it is different from the computer webpage, the operation is also simple and easy to understand. Adrian just fiddled with it for a while, and he was familiar with the operations of friends, recent information, followers, Netflix news and circle of friends.

What interests him the most is that the circle of friends provides a new function, which can instantly upload photos and videos to the circle of friends.

Adrian immediately turned on this function, entered the shooting interface, first took a few pictures of the living room and uploaded them, and then took a short video and sent them to Moments.

The mobile phone has 300,000 pixels, and the definition is very good.

Adrian saw that there were more than a dozen likes in the circle of friends in an instant, and he was full of joy. He found the SD expansion card and pressed it. He decided to go out to shoot and upload more videos, so that those who are still playing on the computer are envious. hatred!
