Chapter 610： Dominate the world

Tang En waved his hand and said sinisterly: "Don't worry, the history of overseas film development is very backward, usually only the local market can be developed, there is no opportunity for export, and it is not worth a lot of money! Those filmmakers are either artists, or Nouveau riche, they can’t ask for a price, and they don’t dare to ask for a price.”

"Besides, what is streaming media copyright? It's the Internet! In this era, apart from the United States, where are there Internet companies in the world? Except for China, Japan and South Korea, which are following the United States, they are exploring the Internet in confusion. Now, the whole of Europe is It's an Internet desert! From our Internet eyes, they are a group of natives!"

"What justice is needed to negotiate with the natives? Historical experience has taught us that with a few words of coaxing, and the force of three or five guns, they can make them give up the entire American continent. Business is business, and we do not have to be soft-hearted. Don't be rude!"

Kevin Turner pondered: "Even if Europe is indigenous, they don't understand the existence of the Internet, they will seriously underestimate the value of streaming media copyrights, and are willing to sell them at low prices. But what about China, Japan and South Korea? The Internet development there...the momentum is very good. ."

Tang En said with a smile: "Even in the United States, Hollywood and Silicon Valley are far from each other. The reason why they are involved is that there is Wall Street capital behind them. But can the Chinese, Japanese and Korean film industry and the Internet industry be related? ?Do not worry!"

This year, only SoftBank Masayoshi Son is the only Internet investor in Asia.

All Internet companies in China, Japan and South Korea, if they want to raise funds, either turn to Wall Street or Sun Zhengyi. There is no second way to go.

Looking for the government? Looking for a bank? Looking for a traditional big company?

Stop talking.

They can't read the internet.

Even they can't understand the Internet, so it is naturally even more impossible for film companies with little capital to understand the Internet.

There's even a good chance that this could happen -

I heard that the Hollywood movie giant New Universal has come to acquire the streaming media rights of the movie. The filmmakers of China, Japan and South Korea, in order to gain the favor of Hollywood, have given them away for free, making Shijun smile...

This thing, in their eyes, is waste paper, and it does not generate any income.

Even if New Universal were to package and acquire all the copyrights of the film, they might have to give it to them because they are foreigners.

Not to mention others, the mainland director Zhang will definitely be able to do it.

This guy is crazy about Oscar.

These years, coal bosses are all investing in movies in the mainland. What long-term vision do they have? They invest in movies, one is to play female stars, and the other is to make quick money in the short term.

Don't care about the future at all.

Relatively speaking, the copyright of Hong Kong films is more complicated.

Most of the big bosses of the Hong Kong government have an international perspective, they have also dealt with Hollywood, and they know the importance of film copyright.

However, it is only relatively complicated.

Hong Kong films are now half-dead and can no longer survive.

If you can sell those old movies for a sum of money, why not?

It's easier if you just buy out the streaming rights.

In the United States, it is very difficult for Kevin Turner to acquire streaming media rights for film and television works everywhere. To rent the 8,000 movies, New Universal pays $60 million a year in rent.

But overseas, it's too easy.

Spend 20 million US dollars, at least buy out all copyrights of 5,000 movies, plus 30,000 movie streaming rights!

This is of great significance to Netflix's overseas business development in the future!

Hollywood movies are only rentals, not exclusive rental rights.

Users can also watch these film and television content through other streaming media platforms.

But these movies in Waihai are different, this is a complete buyout!

If you want to see these movies, you can only come to Netflix!

No semicolons!

This exclusive supply is the best way for Netflix to dominate the world in the future!

"okay, I get it."

Kevin Turner nodded, and a concept map had been drawn in his mind.

Tang En thought of something, and smiled again, "By the way, when buying overseas movie copyrights, pick the movies that are well-reviewed, and don't pack the good or bad ones. For some movies, you'd rather spend money than have them."

"Ah? Except for the United States, no other country has antitrust provisions for the film industry, is it necessary?" Kevin Turner was a little surprised.

Tang En pretended to sigh, "There's no way. What if Netflix makes a lot of money in the future and the governments of various countries are jealous? When we eat meat, we have to give people soup."

Kevin Turner was dumbfounded, knowing that Dunn was joking.

There are too many film and television works in the world, which can reach the level of tens of millions!

New Universal's acquisition of tens of thousands of units has nothing to do with monopoly.

But what Tang En said is very important, only buy good ones, not bad ones!

Isn't it a waste of time to collect so many bad movies for users to watch?

To provide users with the highest quality content.

Tang En waved his hand and continued: "Overseas copyrights are to be acquired, but Hollywood's work cannot be interrupted."

Kevin Turner said in embarrassment: "Except for MGM, the remaining companies are unlikely to cooperate, especially Columbia Pictures and Paramount, which are currently hostile to me... "

"No, you misunderstood."

"Oh?"

"I'm not talking about movies, but TV shows!"

"TV drama?"

Dunn said: "The rental of DVDs is mainly for movies. But streaming media is different. In addition to movies, TV series, reality shows, and some classic sports events, award ceremonies, concerts, Super Bowls, etc., It's all about viewing content."

Kevin Turner's eyes lit up, "You mean...we're going to continue to acquire streaming rights, and reach out to TV shows, sports, and major awards ceremonies?"

"That's right. None of these contents have any peripheral development value. At present, apart from TV broadcasts, the content owners can't find any other way to make money. If we are willing to provide a sum of money to rent their streaming media rights, I think...hehe."

Dunn laughed sinisterly a few times.

New Universal spends $60 million a year to lease streaming rights to 8,000 movies.

However, TV series, classic sports competitions, concerts and other film and television content have little room for development, and the copyright value is very low.

You can buy it all at the lowest price!

Plan ahead for your future streaming business!

"How much budget do I have?"

Kevin Turner was very heartbroken.

Tang En said proudly: "Let's make it all together The annual rental fee reaches 100 million US dollars!"

"$100 million! Good!"

Kevin Turner was very excited.

Excluding the already negotiated $60 million in film royalties, that means he still has an available budget of $40 million!

$40 million... can definitely buy a huge amount of intellectual property!

New Universal has been in the streaming media business since 2003.

It is conceivable that as long as the network speed bottleneck is broken and video websites spring up like mushrooms after a rain, Netflix...will soar to the sky!

As for now, I still have to fight with Blockbuster.

"After Paramount's personnel adjustment failed, Redstone seems to have compromised." Kevin Turner suddenly changed the subject.

Tang En said calmly, "Oh?"

Kevin Turner said: "Redstone recently visited Wall Street frequently and said something in public, which roughly means that PepsiCo has opened tens of thousands of directly-operated stores in North America, and its business is saturated. Moreover, PepsiCo Delta's business and Viacom's business ... are in conflict, which is not conducive to the adjustment of the corporate tax rate."

Tang En sneered, "What? The old guy wants to give up on Besta?"

Kevin Turner nodded again and again, "It seems that it should be like this. Blockbuster has seriously dragged down Viacom's stock price. He has been in frequent contact with major investment banks on Wall Street recently."

"Maintaining the status quo!"

Tang En didn't care about Lei Shidong's small actions.

But it was a dying struggle.

Viacom, after all, will be silent in the dust of history.

If Lei Shidong hadn't messed with Tang En, he might have been saved.

But provoking Dunn was like breaking the last straw.

Times have changed.

The media company that dominates the world in the future must be New Universal!
