$45 million!

All debts are assumed by Orion Films!

Reed-Hastings had a look of joy on his face, "Mr. Gosling, your decision is very wise."

"Netflix's future is definitely more than $45 million."

Except for Mark Randolph, the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Netflix becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Orion Pictures is not only not a bad thing for Netflix executives, but a good thing.

At least you don't have to worry about money anymore.

Only Mark Randolph looked a bit lost.

Ryan just smiled at this.

With the support of Orion Pictures, there is no need for the future. In a few years at most, the value of Netflix will far exceed 45 million US dollars.

Even, according to the development of the original Netflix, it achieved profitability for the first time in 2002, allowing Wall Street investment institutions to see the development prospects of Netflix’s online disc rental model.

In a short period of time, the value of Netflix has more than doubled.

Even a ten percent stake is worth far more than $45 million.

Of course, Netflix still has to continue to burn money.

The two sides chatted for a while about the specific details of the acquisition, and Reed Hastings, Mark Randolph and others got up and left.

Next, the two sides will discuss some details.

When it comes to the acquisition of a $45 million company, it is impossible to sign an equity transfer contract right away.

Of course, these things will be done by professional lawyers and accountants of Orion Films, and it will take half a month at the fastest.

This is already considered fast.

If it weren't for Netflix's single equity and debt, Ryan would have reached a purchase price directly with Reed Hastings and Mark Randolph.

Otherwise, the entire negotiation process will become very lengthy.

With Reed - Hastings, Mark - Randolph and others left.

Nancy Utley couldn't help asking: "Why did you choose to acquire an offline DVD rental website?"

"You seem to be very optimistic about the future prospects of the Internet industry."

Orion Films not only invested in Google, Ryan himself is also a shareholder of Amazon, and now he wants to buy out Netflix, an online disc rental website.

"The Internet is a product of the progress and development of technology and the times. It will definitely change people's lives in the future, and the Netflix model is only one of them."

"Moreover, the reason why Netflix is ​​in trouble, apart from the financial and Internet crisis, is mainly due to the cost of postage and the number of movies." Ryan said.

If Netflix wants to break even, it must increase the number of user registrations and the number of movies shipped.

However, in order to meet these two requirements, in addition to funds, the most important thing is the variety of films. Without a large-scale film library, it is impossible to complete.

Ryan picked up the coffee and took a sip, and said: "With the authorization of Orion Films' film library, Netflix's film types will soon become more abundant. In terms of postage, we can also cooperate with Amazon to strive for the largest discount ratio." .”

"What's more, the online disc rental business is not the focus of the future development of Netflix's model."

"For example, pay to play online movies."

If it is only for the online disc rental business, there is no need to buy Netflix.

"Play directly on the Internet!" Nancy Utley was startled, and immediately calculated.

With the film library and production capabilities of Orion Films, once Netflix realizes paid screening of films on the Internet, it will change the pattern of the disc rental market.

Even, become an indispensable part of Hollywood in the future.

The impact on Orion Films is very large.

"Of course, for a long time in the future, this is just a concept." Ryan doesn't remember the specific year when the online pay-to-play videos appeared, it seems to be around 2005, and it started as a video website.

At least the current computer hardware configuration and network are definitely not up to the standard for online video playback.

"The acquisition of Netflix is ​​only the beginning. Next, in the name of Netflix, we need to acquire the rights to broadcast videos on the Internet worldwide."

To put it bluntly, it is in the name of Netflix online rental discs, buying online broadcast copyrights of movies and TV series everywhere.

At this time, it only needs to pay a small amount of money, and you can easily obtain a large number of online broadcast copyrights for videos, which is no different from the price of cabbage.

By the time Hollywood film companies realized the value of online copyright, Netflix had already made a successful layout.

"I can sort out the materials in this area." Nancy Utley nodded thoughtfully.

Acquisition of video network copyright is only one of them.

Ryan is already planning to turn Netflix’s rental business into an online pay-for-play business as long as the hardware allows, and also produce online dramas.

In the previous life, Netflix gambled heavily on "House of Cards", which completely opened up the route of self-made online dramas and became a website integrating online dramas, movies, documentaries, and short videos.

However, Ryan is not going to completely follow Netflix's line of development, and there are a lot of problems in the production of Netflix in his previous life.

Netflix has produced a lot of web dramas, including blockbusters like "House of Cards" and blood-loss works like "Marco Polo".

Obviously, it is somewhat unreliable for a streaming media company to produce a network.

Exactly, this is exactly what Orion Films is best at.

Orion Films owns MGM's TV series production department, and is no stranger to TV series production, and is even preparing to shoot a TV series to test the waters.

In fact, Netflix is ​​only one of Ryan's plans.

Every Hollywood giant is backed by a media group, and the traditional print media, TV networks, radio stations, etc. have long been divided up by a group of media groups.

In desperation, Ryan's goal can only always be on the Internet, such as investing in Google.

Netflix is ​​also one of them.

At that time, Orion Films can integrate offline, online distribution and online media promotion channels into one, and embark on a new route.

A very different route from the rest of Hollywood giants.

As for what effect can be achieved, Ryan is not clear.

In the afternoon, Ryan went to the digital field and returned to Bel Air until after three o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as he returned to Bel Air's mansion, Ryan saw Charlize Theron's car parked downstairs.

"Sorry, I didn't visit the crew last time I went to Los Angeles."

In the living room, Ryan found Charlize Theron, she was bored watching TV, "How about it, the filming is over!"

"Beauty Undercover" was filmed in Los Angeles, the same location as "Spider-Man."

"You missed a good show." Charlize-Theron looked back at Ryan, and put down the remote control in her hand, "There are a lot of female models who cameo in the filming scene of the crew."

In order to film the Miss America pageant in "Beauty Undercover", the crew not only hired many Hollywood actresses, but also a large number of models.

Throughout the shooting scene, tall models with good faces and tall figures can be seen everywhere, and all of them are dressed coolly.

"God."

"I really shouldn't go riding with Helen." Ryan walked to Charlize-Theron and sat down next to Charlize-Theron with a face of remorse. "You should call me."

Having said that, Ryan changed the subject, "By the way, are you going back to South Africa? Or England!"

Every time the filming of the crew is over, Charlize - Theron will go back to South Africa or England for a while to accompany her mother.

"I'm going to London next week, and I will stay for about a week." Charlize Theron stretched her body, "The release time of "Beauty Undercover" is scheduled for December 22, and I need to cooperate with the crew to promote it .”

"Christmas schedule!" Ryan shrugged ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ Warner Bros. has high expectations for this film. "

December 22nd happens to be Friday, with a three-day holiday, the 24th is Christmas Eve, and the 25th is Christmas. Together, there are 5 days of holiday, which is a very good release schedule.

From this point, it can be seen that Warner Bros. has high expectations for "Beauty Undercover".

"Go to a restaurant? Or go out to eat!" Ryan asked after looking at the time.

"The restaurant, my name is Lamy, who specially made corn chowder." Charlize Theron stood up and pulled Ryan towards the restaurant.

Besides Lami, there is also a Chinese chef,

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, the two went outside for a walk.

Outside the Bel Air mansion, there is a large hill. Ryan bought it some time ago and used it for picnic dinners.
