Entering the banquet hall, Ronan immediately saw the three DreamWorks and hurried over to say hello to David Geffen, Jeffrey Carsonberg and Stephen Spielberg. Although these three people made a few polite words, it was difficult to remember an unknown person like him.

After coming out of the circle of the three giants, he did not hide, but instead tried his best to find people to talk.

Ronan talked to a production director of Warner Bros. about the Harry Potter series they obtained last year, told Sony Columbia's Japanese executives that they would be released in the upcoming "Godzilla", drank a glass of wine with Paramount Pictures' deputy director of distribution, inquired about the integration of the copyright of "Lord of the Rings" by Miramax, and asked William Morris's agent for the third-tier stars' pay...

A large number of people gathered around the three giants to express their thrill of admiration.

Ronan did not go there anymore, but just looked around for a while. The three giants were ambitious and wanted to break the six nearly monopoly situations in Hollywood, but unfortunately this path was not working at all.

The most important thing is the issuance and industrial chain, especially the former.

DreamWorks, a former life, has established a relatively complete distribution mechanism in North America. It is powerless to face the broader overseas market. The overseas distribution of its videos can only be left to six major companies to do. With some other factors, it can only end up in disgrace.

In the traditional issuance industry, the largest cake has been firmly held by six major companies. It is too difficult to break this situation.

DreamWorks' model cannot be achieved.

Ronan is very sure of this. Fighting against enemies who have the advantage of time, place, and people, the chance of winning is extremely low.

If you want to break the situation of the six major companies, you can only find other ways.

If one day, Shahai Entertainment faces this situation, what should we do?

For some reason, this thought flashed through Ronan's head and spread uncontrollably.

Using sand sea to entertain the current situation is an unattainable goal, even a fantasy.

But who has no fantasy?

Ronan shook his head. At this stage, he could only think about it. It would be better to be pragmatic for the time being.

"Good evening." Someone greeted next to him.

"Good evening." Ronan responded immediately.

This man was in his thirties and looked honest. He felt relieved when he looked at him. He held the wine glass and signaled to Ronan. Ronan did not take the wine, so he simply nodded and greeted him.

A waiter passed by, and Roger asked for a glass of wine, raised it to the man, and took a sip.

"You are Mr. Anderson?" the man took the initiative to speak.

Ronan looked at the other party's honest face. If this person followed him to Abu Dhabi, he felt that he could invest another $10 million.

"I'm Ronan Anderson," he said softly.

The man introduced himself: "Edward Barker, the agent of Mooreby's agency."

Ronan shook hands with him and said, "I'm happy to know you."

Edward Buck smiled with a simple face: "I read the newspaper a few days ago, and Mr. Anderson's company is recruiting directors and actors?"

I came here tonight mainly to look for opportunities, but for an ordinary broker, it is a bit difficult to sell unknown customers under my control to big projects.

I had already found a good position for a client, but the unreliable guy made unreliable requests, causing the cooked duck to fly away.

But the unreliable guy is the most likely person under his command to succeed.

I can only look for opportunities again.

In this case, spread the net as wide as possible, and you might be able to catch fish.

Ronan could guess the purpose of this agent and simply asked directly: "Do you have a suitable candidate for your company?"

Edward Barker did not answer, but pointed to the relatively few people in the banquet hall and invited, "Let's go over there to talk?"

Ronan nodded: "Okay."

The two of them came to the grand banquet hall near the terrace. There were not many people nearby, only five or six people formed a circle. There was a man talking about something, which sounded like he was attracting investment or selling something.

Edward said: "I have read newspaper reports about Shahai Entertainment and the Human Purge Plan. Shahai Entertainment seems to have financial difficulties?"

Luo Nan no longer cared about the other side and replied: "Your news is outdated, I have successfully raised funds, and Shahai Entertainment has abundant funds."

Hearing this, Edward's honest smile became even more honest: "The budget cost of the Human Purge Plan is really $11 million?"

Ronan smiled but did not answer.

If there was a budget of 11 million US dollars, Shahai Entertainment's threshold would have been broken by entertainment agents.

The broker is well-informed. Edward has heard of some situations and has rejected multiple brokerage firm intention quotes in succession. The budget cost of the Human Clearance Plan will definitely not be $11 million.

This is also good, the competition will be much smaller. His clients urgently need to direct movies and increase their resumes in this area, and the pay is second.

“There is a director among my clients that might be suitable,” Edward whispered: “He has written screenplays for Boy Next Door and Teenagers, served as associate director and executive producer in three TV series, and directed several episodes of X-Files, preparing to move from TV series to film.”

Ronan nodded and directed "X-Files", which seems to be good.

In this era, the quality of TV series is far inferior to that of movies. Even the famous Rachel is transforming into the film industry, and countless TV series directors want to enter the film industry.

Ronan took out a business card and handed it to Edward: "There is the company's address and contact information on it, and you can bring people here at any time."

Edward hurriedly put it away: "I will call you before I go."

He politely spoke to Luo Nan, then left with a simple smile.

This trip was a bit rewarding. His resume, which sounded good after directing several episodes of "X Files", would be discussed in detail after the interview. Luo Nan was also ready to leave at this time, but heard the words in the small circle next to him.

The man who didn't know whether to promote or attract investment seemed a little excited and had a loud voice: "Pocita's store rental model must become a past. They are slow to react and lack the optimization and integration of videotape resources. Netflix's online leasing business is the future. Investing in Netflix means getting the future! Netflix has created a monthly fee system, and consumers can rent videos unlimitedly, and they do not charge a delayed return of late payment fees. Netflix needs a sum of funds and a platform..."

A man wearing glasses suddenly interrupted him: "How many paid customers are your company currently in? How many paid customers are planned to develop next year? How many years can it be listed?"

"Netflix just started." The man said: "Our goal is the future..."

The man wearing glasses shook his head and walked away.

When Ronan was in a relationship just now, he heard someone introduce this person, an executive in the Disney Investment Department.

The other people left afterwards.

It is obvious that executives of these large companies are not very interested in what this person said.

However, Ronan was very interested, walked over and greeted him actively, and introduced himself: "Hello, Ronan Anderson."

The man looked here and nodded: "Hello, Reed Hastings." He had noticed Ronan just now and asked directly: "Are you interested in my company?"

Ronan vaguely said: "The pattern you mentioned is very interesting."

Reed Hastings looked at Ronan: "It's obvious that this model is very powerful. As the Internet develops, my company can surpass PepsiCo."

I had been doing Internet video operations in my previous life, how could Ronan not know Netflix’s name?

After looking at Reed Hastings, he suddenly turned to see where the three DreamWorks are located.

"Can we talk?" Ronan asked.

Reed Hastings asked instead: "Who are you?"

Ronan understood what he meant and said, "I am the president of Shahai Entertainment."

"I've heard of a small company that makes videotape movies." Reed Hastings is now engaged in movie network rental and has a good understanding of companies in the Hollywood industry. He shook his head and said, "We don't need to talk."

Ronan was a little surprised: "I can invest in your company."

Reed Hastings said sincerely: "Thank you, really, you can be optimistic about my company, I am very grateful." He smiled apologetically: "I need not only funds, but also big platforms for big companies. Your Shahai Entertainment cannot provide. The joint efforts of the weak and the weak will have no meaning to Netflix."

Ronan roughly understood the other party's thoughts. After all, he had read the detailed information of this person in his previous life. In a few years, Reed Hastings was desperate and actually contacted PepsiCo to prepare to sell the company to his arch-rival.

For Reed Hastings, PepsiCo is his mortal enemy. It was because of his resentment that PepsiCo charged him with late payment fees for videotape rental that he had the idea of ​​founding Netflix.

Ronan tentatively said a few more words, and Reed Hastings was very stubborn and refused flatly.

Indeed, Shahai Entertainment cannot provide Netflix with hard conditions such as much-needed film sources and platforms.

Sometimes, investing is not just about money.

Ronan couldn't pursue Hastings to invest, but Netflix just broke into his vision, giving him more ideas.

Now is not the best time. His funds are entering the stock market and he cannot make large investments for the time being.

If you remember correctly, Netflix is ​​now starting out, it can only be said to be a turf team.

Companies like Netflix are simply burning money in the early stages, and Hastings will not be able to stand it if they don’t take it for two years.

Ronan watched Hastings leave, gently stroked his chin, and would stare at Netflix in the future.

This banquet has gained a lot, especially Netflix and Hastings.

Ronan thought about walking forward along the side close to the terrace. Not far away, he suddenly saw Leonardo DiCaprio.

Little Lizi posed with a delicate and handsome face and was pestering a blonde girl.

The girl was wearing a short goose yellow dress with long hair shawls, slender limbs, and a tall figure with excellent proportions. She had a delicate little face and had pairs of melancholy green eyes.

Blonde hair and long legs, this is the best bite for Little Plum.
