Chapter 2004 We All Want
Outside the house, the sun was shining brightly. In the backyard full of green grass and flowers, the sound of two children playing happily could be said to be the best background music in the world, making the atmosphere in the house relaxed and cheerful.
"With you two, I feel much more at ease," Palmat, who came in a hurry, said while holding the hands of Hastings and Randolph.
This should be one of the rare times when he smiled sincerely.
When Feng Yiping was determined to acquire Marvel, apart from Disney being frightened by Feng Yiping and shrinking back, which made him a little disappointed, there was no other choice. The main reason was that Netflix and YouTube would bring bonuses to Marvel.
Among all the high-tech companies, these two happened to be the ones that made the whole Hollywood jealous.
Kevin Feige held their hands in a more humble manner, "Please give more support in the future,"
Now he has not produced a convincing work, and he is not very confident in front of Hastings or Randolph.
Didn't you see that many people in Hollywood started to move when these two came?
The many invitations in the living room are the best proof.
This point is indeed not even comparable to Feng Yiping.
It is not that they are more popular than Feng Yiping, but because those who invited Hastings and Randolph know that people like Feng Yiping are not just qualified to invite.
But at least there are still many people who think they are qualified to invite Hastings and Randolph.
Feige, as the newly-minted president of Marvel Studios, is really not qualified at this time.
Hastings and Randolph, who knew the purpose of Feng Yiping asking them to come to Hollywood, were also very polite to Palmat and Feige, "I have heard of you for a long time," "I still treasure a lot of Marvel comics now," "Finally, we can promote our own movies on our website,"...
"Ding Ding," Feng Yiping knocked on the cup, "Everyone, please take a seat,"
Zuck rushed to sit down next to Feng Yiping again. Facing Feng Yiping's disdainful eyes, he laughed embarrassedly a few times. Indeed, his previous actions were a bit too impulsive.
How can I be like those crazy fans?
"Everyone, facing this situation, I have to say a few words," Feng Yiping said to the five people present, "Do you know what I am seeing now?"
The movement from the door made the five people turn their heads and look over. Oh, we know what you are seeing now, you are seeing a beautiful woman.
At the door of the restaurant, Alba, who was wearing a black skirt, flashed and immediately retreated, followed by a girl in a pink skirt. "Oh, it's time to eat,"
"Hi, Feng, hi, Palmat," Collins walked in lightly with a cheerful pace, and her long hair, which seemed to have been carefully cared for, was swinging behind her head.
In sweetness, every move reveals the playfulness of a girl.
"Gentlemen, do you mind adding two more seats?" She walked to the table and said.
Who can refuse such a beautiful, lively and generous girl? Didn't you see that even the old man Palmat smiled?
"Leticia, you don't have to bother me, I can do it myself," she took the cutlery from Leticia, turned around and shouted to the door, "Alba, are you going to wait outside the door all the time?"
Alba sat in with an apologetic smile on her face, a little helpless, "Sorry, I bothered you,"
She was really a little embarrassed. Collins asked her to come over to Feng Yiping's house for a meal, and she was half-hearted, but when she saw that Feng Yiping's lunch today was so formal, she felt a little abrupt.
Seeing the people at the table, they were all Hollywood actors of her level, people who were not easy to get in touch with, she really felt a little uneasy.
I really can't face it as calmly as Collins.
Maybe it's because she is an adult, and many things she does will inevitably carry interests. She can't be as simple as Collins. I like him because I like him, so at this time, I feel a little guilty.
"No, it's our honor for you two to have dinner with us," Hastings said.
This time, it's not just Feng Yiping who is standing, everyone, even Palmat, stood up.
At such a formal table, Americans still pay attention to relevant etiquette, and men are quite good at pretending to be gentlemanly.
However, when they sat down, Zuckerberg was a little depressed. "Girl, why did you run between me and Feng?" He looked at Collins, who was happily sitting next to Feng Yiping, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Noticing his gaze, Collins glanced at him, then frowned and turned up his nose. Zuckerberg, who had some small opinions about her, immediately blushed. Is there anything wrong with me?
In Collins' eyes, Zuckerberg had a lot of inappropriate things.
It seems that he should be Feng Yiping's right-hand man, but even so, attending such a lunch, you just wear a plaid shirt over a T-shirt. Isn't it too casual?
You are an engineer, it's great. There are so many engineers in Silicon Valley. Do you need to declare this to others regardless of the occasion or place?
And your hair, can't you take good care of it? If you sit in the back yard like this, maybe a bird will build a nest on your head.
Feng still looks comfortable. You see, the casual suit that originally looked a bit old-fashioned with patches on his elbows looks so harmonious on him, and there is a sense of elegance in his spirit.
Seeing Collins looking at Feng Yiping again, Xiao Zha reflected on his own clothing for the first time, as if he had to pay more attention to it in the future.
Although I don’t expect to be liked by girls, it is never a good thing to be disliked by girls.
"Let us welcome the two ladies to join us," Feng Yiping raised his glass again.
Collins at the dinner table became gentle and polite again, holding up his juice and saying, "Thank you,"
Zuckerberg, who was also holding a wine glass, felt that he had finally regained the victory. He looked at the juice held by Collins and said, "Humph, you are a kid who is not even old enough to drink."
In fact, strictly speaking, it will take more than a month for him to turn 21. It's okay to drink at home, but he may not be able to buy alcohol in the store.
"Continuing with the topic just now," Feng Yiping did not stand up this time. He looked at the four generals under his command and said, "Looking at you, I can see that in the future, we will be at the Emmy Awards, the Golden Globe Awards, and... At the Oscars...at all the film festivals, sweeping all the awards,"
"We have seen us in North America, in Europe, in Asia...all over the world, smashing the movie box office,"
His words made several people confused, and Fitch suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Boss, my movie may be able to sweep the box office all over the world, but I, I, I really can't do it to sweep all kinds of awards.
Sci-fi movies are easy to become the darling of the box office, but it is difficult to become the winner of major awards!
Look at even Star Wars. It has won several awards, namely for visual effects, best sound, best soundtrack, etc.
"Sweeping the box office and so on will be left to Palmater and Fitch from now on. As for winning awards, Hastings and Randolph, that depends on you two,"
"Us?" Hastings and Randolph both looked at Feng Yiping in surprise.
"Yes, it's you," Feng Yiping said with certainty. "I've called you two here this time. In addition to discussing all-round cooperation with Marvel, I also want to announce another decision of mine to you."
He paused and said, "From today, Netflix will officially launch our homemade content plan. That is, from today, Netflix will also get involved in the production of film and television dramas."
"Ah?" Hastings was a little puzzled. "Feng, our focus this year is to speed up the construction of our domestic distribution center and strive to enable users in more places to receive their orders the next day. Our DVD,"
Streaming media production is also one of Netflix's current focuses, but now more and more users still cannot do without DVD. This is not only because many residents in the United States are actually very conservative in their lives, but also mainly because of the current Due to network conditions, there is still a huge gap between the videos they see online and the images shown on DVDs.
In other words, at least in the next few years, DVD rental will still be the company's main source of profit.
"This is not a contradiction. We still need to build the distribution center, and we must continue to build it," Feng Yiping said. "So far, our registered DVD rental users have grown rapidly to 15 million. We must provide them with the best service." good service,"
"But at the same time, Hastings, you also know that streaming media is the future. With the development of technology and the change of related hardware, such as the popularity of smart TVs, many people, especially young people, will get used to it in the future. Watching movies and TV series through the Internet,”
"So, of course, it is necessary for us to make early arrangements in this field. You can think about it, if the movies produced by our own production company can win awards around the world in the future, how many streaming media registrations will this bring us? user?"
"We all know that Blockbuster has also launched their plan to rent DVDs online this year. Hum, we just want to be in front of it at any window of opportunity so that it can only become a follower."
"The result of this is that we won't have to devote much energy to paying attention to it in the future, and it may fall on the road chasing us due to lack of physical strength."
"It will," someone shouted.
Seeing everyone looking over, Collins stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, "Haha, I'm sorry, Feng, you continue,"
Oh, he looked so domineering and charming just now!
Hastings has no doubts now. It would be great if both directions could go hand in hand.
"Not only that, I already have an idea that I think can be launched,"
"Really?" Collins asked again.
"Yes," Feng Yiping told the story he told Page and Brin to several people present.
"I have to say that this is an eternal theme that is easily accepted by everyone. What is rare is that it perfectly integrates the impact of high technology on life. I think it is so close to reality and touching. story, it will indeed be a good project," Palmater said first.
He looked at Feng Yiping, was this kid really an all-rounder?
Although such creativity based on family love is timeless, it is difficult to stand out. If you are not careful, it is easy to fall into the cliché. But when you add technology to make life better, it is completely different.
"Feng, do we need to ask our screenwriter department to improve this idea?" Feige also said immediately.
As a filmmaker, he also immediately felt that this must be a good project.
"That's what I mean," Feng Yiping said.
"So, in the future, our Marvel movies about the Marvel Universe, no matter how critics comment on them, whether they are popcorn movies or visual candy for teenagers, we just want to use cool special effects, religious chant-like soundtracks, and excellent creativity to make box office blockbusters. I hope that there will be works that break the box office of Titanic here,"
"And our Netflix self-made dramas should focus on word of mouth. The main task is to win awards, so as to attract more people around the world to become our registered users. My requirements are not high, at least 100 million,"
"That is, we want box office, awards, we also want these two together," he made a fist gesture, "hum, what BBC, what Fox, what Disney,"
"Good!" Collins stood up and applauded excitedly.
Seeing everyone's gaze, she sat down again with some embarrassment, "Sorry, I interrupted you again,"
"I'm done," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
"Okay," "Okay," now everyone applauded.
