Robert Kingsso, who had just returned to North America, made a lot of noise and started several projects in one go, and without exception they were absolutely large-scale productions. Special effects blockbusters like "Transformers" have more than 1,000 special effects shots, and at least more than 100 million US dollars. It is not an exaggeration to describe a movie burned by a US dollar.

Transformers are like this. As a preface to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, there is no need to mention the special effects of the Hobbit. The total investment of these three films exceeds more than 500 million US dollars. Not to mention the new 007 movie that has been launched. Even through the big screen, you can feel Robert Kingsor's ambition.

In addition to a few movies, what surprised the entire film and television industry is that in the field of television, Renren Film and Television is not at all behind. It is determined to build HBO in the field of Internet video, and it seems that it can burn more money than HBO.

Originally, after "Rome" and "Deadly Master", the outside world thought that Renren Film and Television had spent enough money, but the newly established "House of Cards" and "Game of Thrones" made everyone feel hasty, including HBO, and Hollywood Film and Television companies.

On the "House of Cards", Renren Film and Television spent a lot of money to create, but the most exaggerated thing is the "Game of Thrones". The cost of a single episode exceeds 6 million US dollars. Some episodes that require special effects are directly exceeded 15 million US dollars, and they spend 15 million US dollars to produce a TV series. This price is enough to produce a small independent movie. In China, A San, Bangzi and other regions, it is enough to produce a big-scale movie.

Not only series, special effects, Renren Film and Television also invited Oscar directors to direct for the first few episodes of the two TV series. This is almost the standard for Hollywood blockbusters, but Renren Film and Television is used in TV series.

When the news came out, many people thought that Robert Kingsor was crazy, and Sony Pictures' Thomas Motola even claimed that Robert Kingsor was too overestimated and predicted that Renren Film and Television might suffer huge losses next year.

"Don't think that a movie has good box office revenue, but thinks it can continue. Hollywood movies are not something that Netflix's video rental manager can handle!" When Thomas Motola faced the media, he also responded to a wave of sarcasm to Robert Kingsor.

Before, when Robert Kingsso got off the plane, he beat Thomas Motola hard, threatening that Thomas Motola and Sony Pictures would only hide behind their backs and jump around like clowns, throwing dirty water on Renren Film and Television. The movies they produced were more trash than one, and they could only rely on Spider-Man to cut leeks year after year!

No matter how the war of verbal battles are, Renren Film and Television's big moves have caused a lot of noise in Hollywood. Many Hollywood stars, whether in TV series or film industry, have begun to engage in relationships. The agents are walking around and want to win many of Renren Film and Television's leading actors. In the second half of the year, Hollywood almost began to become restless.

Special effects companies, insurance companies, filming locations, etc. related to the film industry have also sent olive branches to Renren Film and Television. No matter what those movies are, what Renren Film and Television has brought out is real money, which naturally attracted countless people.

However, at this moment, Renren Film and Television suddenly issued investment requests to many online video companies around the world, including Disney's newly established Disney Video and Hulu Video jointly established by Universal and Fox. They all received cooperation requests from Renren Film and Television. Netflix, which began to transform this year, also received investment requests from Robert to her husband's home.

As for the domestic video industry, there is no need to mention it. Renren Film and Television has put forward investment requirements for Youku, Tudou and iQiyi in one go, investing 100 million yuan in exchange for 30% of the equity of the three major online videos. The other two major players, Kuaibo and Storm Video, also received investment requirements for Renren Film and Television, 50 million yuan in exchange for 30% of the equity of the two major players!

Renren Film and Television's sudden actions immediately stirred up the entire video website industry. Many video industry companies think Renren Film and Television is too domineering, and 100 million yuan seems to be a lot, but for the three major video websites in China that are second only to Renren Film and Television, this price can only be considered a fractured price. For example, when iQiyi was established, the venture capital received exceeded 50 million US dollars!

It may be hard to say abroad, hulu video, Disney video, Yahoo video, etc. Although they are at a disadvantage in the face of video websites such as Renren Film and Television, at least they still have the power to fight back. After all, the copyright of Hollywood film and television has not been beaten up by Renren Film and Television in one place.

But it is different from Southeast Asia in China. Even in places such as Riben, Bangzi, Singapore and other places, a large amount of film and television copyrights were taken away by Renren Film and Television two years ago.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the next five years, no matter Youku, Tudou Video, Sohu, iQiyi and others, they will have no power to fight back against Renren Film and Television.

The copyright of popular videos in the past twenty years has been in the hands of Renren Film and Television for several days. Domestic China, including Central Media, Yanjing TV, Xiangnan TV and other dozens of old TV stations, have established long-term cooperative relationships with Renren Film and Television.

Renren Film and Television signed more than 50% of the mainstream domestic film and television screenwriters, which means that no Renren Film and Television allows them to make their own dramas. It is basically a daydream!

At this time, Renren Film and Television suddenly proposed an investment and shareholding requirement. The price offered made major video websites uncomfortable, but this was only part of it. The other part was a copyright alliance proposed by Renren Film and Television, which is what attracted countless people.

The entire domestic video website industry is pirating Renren Film and Television's videos. Everyone knows this. The domestic video industry is now in chaos, and the radio and television industry may not have taken action on film and television copyright.

But everyone understands that this is not a long-term solution. The increasingly intense video website will sooner or later end the chaos, and the copyright of film and television will be taken seriously sooner or later!

At that time, no matter how many video websites there are in China, as long as they have pirated Renren Film and Television's websites, no one will be able to escape. As long as Renren Film and Television sues, one will be unlucky.

Even if you take a step back ten thousand steps, in terms of film and television copyright, Renren Film and Television cannot take advantage of these video websites, but according to the situation in the video industry, you will sooner or later take the path of cashing out. Whether it is listed on the Nasdaq, Hong Kong stocks or domestic market, at a critical moment, as long as Renren Film and Television sues the copyright of film and television, then everything will be over, and there is no way to go public!

Renren Film and Television is Mingmou, the investment agreement placed in front of major video websites. There is also a knife given to them. Or they cooperate with Renren Film and Television, and they are waiting to be killed by Renren Film and Television!

At Netflix headquarters, Reed Hastings looked at the investment agreement on the table with a calm eyes. The investment agreement was sent by Renren Film and Television, and Robert Kingsor's name came up. Looking at that name, Reed Hastings's heart fluctuated for a few minutes, but he calmed down.

Robert Kinsey is now a big figure in Hollywood. He is much more famous than Reed Hastings, the president of Netflix. Without turning on TV and magazines, Reed Hastings can hear the name of Robert Kinsey, a traitor from time to time.

Although Reed Hastings believes that Robert Kingsole is stingy, he has to admit that Robert Kingsole and Renren Film and Television are now in a big way and have begun to transform into Netflix, a field of online video. Facing Renren Film and Television, the overlord in the industry, what he feels like walking on thin ice.

When the videotape rental business suffered a heavy blow, Reed Hastings did not sell Netflix, but chose to transform into the online video field. This road is difficult to go. From last year to this year, Netflix's stock price has fallen by more than two-thirds, and its market value is less than 800 million US dollars. Three years ago, Netflix's market value has dropped by more than 3 billion US dollars.

If Netflix hadn't been in danger at this time, and if Netflix could have fallen, Netflix's board of directors would have joined forces to force the palace.

However, although the stock price and market value are falling sharply, there is not no good news. Reed Hastings' ability is indeed extraordinary. Netflix's main business is actually very similar to rental video tapes, but it just replaces the video tapes with digital videos.

Netflix is ​​currently silently reaching cooperation with Hollywood film companies including Fox, Sony Pictures, New Line Pictures, DreamWorks and other Hollywood film companies, and has also cooperated with local TV stations such as Los Angeles and San Francisco to find a different way to obtain a batch of film and television copyrights from these film companies and television stations, and has initially established Netflix's film and television copyright library.

Like Renren Film and Television, Netflix, led by Reed Hastings, works hard to work hard on the user's film and television recommendation algorithm, and users are watching hobbies and recommending videos continuously. Although the number of users is not as good as Renren Film and Television, Netflix now has a group of stable users.

At this time, when facing Renren Film and Television's olive branch, Reed Hastings was also a little confused and puzzled. He didn't know what Renren Film and Television meant. Suddenly, he was like a Robin Hood possessed, giving Netflix money and film and television copyrights. Even the donkey in the production team dared not be so attentive!

"Reed, I think this is an opportunity. As long as you accept investment from Renren Film and Television and join the film and television copyright alliance of Renren Film and Television, Netflix will be able to get an investment of tens of millions of dollars, and you can also get a large amount of video authorization from Renren Film and Television. This is an opportunity for Netflix!"

The person who spoke was Netflix development consultant Brad. Like Robert Kingsor, he was the first to join Netflix. However, Brad's status is much higher than Robert Kingsor and has a much closer relationship with Reed Hastings.

At this critical moment of Netflix's transformation, Reed Hastings also began to reuse Brad and others. In fact, there is nothing we can do if we don't need it. In recent years, Netflix's life has been getting worse day by day, and a large number of executives and management have also run away.

What’s even more annoying is that nearly half of these Netflix’s executives are Robert Kingsor, which is why Reed Hastings scolded Robert Kingsor for being traitorous. It’s okay to run away by yourself, but they actually hooked up with a group of people!
