Chapter 721 Mobile Client
An actor is also an important resource in Hollywood. Ronan roughly remembers some of the situations about Jessica Chastain, an actress who was once a representative of Hollywood's hard work and dedication.
If some of the situations that are true when recalling, this person is like Jessica Felton's glance, and is truly feminist.
Once upon a time, as a professional at Juilliard School, it took nearly ten years to become famous before becoming famous, and it was not easy to think about it.
Without background, lack of care and support from big people, and lack of luck, it is really difficult to succeed.
When I became famous, the model worker became old.
Ronan asked Connie to collect some information about Jessica Chastain. There are suitable roles behind it, so you can consider this actress appropriately.
Not to mention anything else, at least Shahai Entertainment has to sign a long-term contract with her.
In addition, the collected information shows that Jessica Chastain used to be called Jessica Howard. She grew up with her mother and stepfather. No one in the outside world knows who her biological father is.
With a look that is somewhat similar to Bryce Dallas Howard, it is easy to associate.
For example, a singer in the Oriental world was once said to be an illegitimate son because of her iconic big nose...
With the weekend approaching, among the many films prepared by Embassy Pictures for the awards season, there are seed contestants. "Epiphany Storm" will be previewed in Los Angeles at the scale of five theaters to get tickets for the Oscar selection.
Embassy Film has applied for the Oscar for this film. In order to concentrate on the lack of resources, it has only applied for the Oscar for the Best Foreign Language Film Award.
Thanks to many best film awards such as the European Film Awards, the Italian David Awards, the Berlin Golden Bear Awards and the French Caesar Awards, "Epiphany Storm" has attracted a small group of American audiences.
Although it is just a small group, filling up five preview theaters is not a problem.
In its first weekend of preview in North America, "Epitaph Storm" averaged a single-stage box office of nearly $30,000, and earned more than $14 in five theaters.
This is a very good result for a European film or a non-English film.
Because of the Oscar for the best foreign language film, the film can only have English subtitles, and cannot replace the original German with English dubbing.
When overseas movies come to the North American market, there are basically no replacements.
After the first movie weekend, the reviewers of "Eavesdropping Storm" had a great reputation. Rotten Tomatoes collected nearly 60 professional film reviews, almost all of which were positive, with a freshness of up to 95%.
The media has also had a huge reputation. Dozens of media invited by the Embassy Film Company gave the film an 89-point rating.
For mainstream Western ideas, this film is really extremely politically correct.
The influence of political correctness on the Oscars cannot be ignored.
Even this has become a more critical award criterion far beyond the quality of the film.
This kind of film about the theme of human freedom has always been the favorite of Oscars.
The focus of the Embassy Film Awards Season is "Crash" and "When Happiness Comes Knocks the Door". The investment in "Eavesdropping Storm" is limited, and the good reputation and appropriate themes are also conducive to the film's efforts to win the Best Foreign Language Film Awards.
Ronan's attention is not on "Eavesdropping Storm", and has turned to Netflix Network.
After nearly a year of preparation and more than half a year of negotiations, Netflix Network reached an agreement with Motorola and Samsung, and Netflix's mobile client will become a pre-installed program for the two companies' smartphones.
For businesses such as Netflix Video, Netflix Rental and Netflix streaming, specific cooperation will not start next year.
The most popular Netflix shared was the first to go public and became the pioneer.
If the response is good, starting from January next year, Netflix will gradually connect to other business segments.
Due to the high price of smartphones, mobile clients will definitely not be able to spread as quickly as they used to be social micro-ends.
But the advantage of starting the move and the exclusive agreement signed with the two major mobile phone manufacturers will also make Netflix a big step ahead of its competitors.
Ronan has been staring at the social, video and streaming markets.
Now it is still the blog era, and Twitter is not sure where it is; Netflix's online video is independent, and the oil pipe cannot be found at all, so it should not be established; except Netflix, there is no relevant concept in the market for streaming media business.
The free travel and immediacy shared by Netflix have attracted many celebrities to enter. There is no need to say more about Hollywood, which has always been at the forefront of trends. Even the commercial streets and political circles have many well-known figures who have actively opened accounts.
For example, the real estate developer named Tang in New York is now an active user shared by Netflix. He will send some messages every few days to complain and mock others.
It seems that the rule of the country is not far away.
In Washington, many young congressmen are also users of Netflix sharing. For example, the black charcoal-headed congressman in Illinois is not only extremely active in Netflix sharing, but also attracts a large number of supporters of the left through this increasingly broad open platform.
As for the Democratic and Republican factions, the sharing of verbal wars through Netflix also happens from time to time.
Netflix is gradually infiltrating all aspects of life across the United States through the increasingly popular Internet and computers.
Unfortunately, the banking industry is a mountain that is almost impossible to read, otherwise Ronan would have been interested in online payment.
But this aspect is completely different from the Internet industry. It is not just about being cautious. Without a strong consortium, you cannot even touch it.
No one knows how much he has paid and how much he has in his hands.
Some industries and business districts can compete and develop as much as possible, and even have a large space, but some things will have very serious consequences if they touch them.
It is not impossible to become a public enemy of American capital.
Ronan is very clear that in Hollywood and its related industries and the emerging Internet industry, as long as he has a few powerful partners, he will have great potential in the future and there is no need to cause those big troubles.
Snakes swallowing elephant by chance, but what is the result of ants swallowing elephant?
Netflix Network's people are still stepping up negotiations with Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Since there are no other competitors in the market in the same category, 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 cooperative alliance to safeguard the common interests of large manufacturers and brands in this industry and increase the entry threshold for mobile phones and their smart operating systems as much as possible.
This kind of negotiation is bound to be a long-term process of competition and compromise, and cannot be achieved overnight.
If Netflix Network wants to promote the Android system that is still developing and designing, it also needs stronger strength.
Fortunately, this proposal is in line with the interests of several major mobile phone giants at present. No one wants new giant companies to share the market in the mobile phone industry, and they are very interested in this.
The least interested is Nokia, who is seeking to acquire Saipan.
To a certain extent, how to develop in the future seems to be inclined toward how Netflix will develop.
If Netflix Network is still a company like today and wants to promote Android systems around the world, it would be 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, had fallen into that situation in the mobile phone market and had to divest its mobile phone business in the end.
At that time, when Ronan heard that Nokia had divested its mobile phone business, he could only describe it as shock.
The current Nokia mobile phone is synonymous with durability. On the Internet, it is said to be the favorite of African mercenaries. It is said that it can block bullets in the pockets of the chest.
It is unknown how credible this rumor is, but Ronan once had a personal experience that the Nokia straight-board mobile phone used when he was studying fell from more than two meters high. Not only did the screen not break, but he picked up all the parts and found the person who repaired the phone to install it, it could still be used normally.
Nokia mobile phones 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 becoming sentiment.
Georgia, capital of Atlanta.
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. After getting off the car, he didn't even have time to lock the door and ran towards his home.
When he got home, he opened the packaging box first and took out the new new Motorola smartphone e680 that was only launched in September.
The silver phone has a super large screen that other phones do not have. It not only has touch screen functions, but also can log in to the Internet through the mobile phone communication network.
Of course, such mobile phones are not expensive.
Adrian just got his first formal job salary in his life, so he bought such a mobile phone to reward himself.
"Hi, Ed." The mother walked past the living room: "We are going to the supermarket, are you going?"
Adrian put all his energy on his new phone and waved his hand: "Don't go."
The parents left quickly. Adrian fiddled with his phone for a while and found a familiar icon on it - netflix!
As a loyal user of Netflix, he immediately clicked on the icon and logged into his Netflix account according to the simple and clear prompts. He was surprised to find that his Netflix sharing interface appeared in another form on the mobile phone screen.
Although it is different from a computer web page, the operation is also simple and easy to understand. Adrian just fiddled with his friends, recent information, followers, Netflix news and circle of friends, etc.
What interested him the most was that the Moments provided a new function, which can instantly upload photos and videos to Moments.
Adrian immediately turned on this function and entered the shooting interface. He first took a few pictures of the living room to upload them, and then took a short video, which was uploaded to his friends circle.
The phone has 300,000 pixels, and the clarity is very good.
