Top of the Great Era

Chapter 1579
Zhou Buqi conducted a wave of research and gained a relatively clear understanding of old films, film, resolution, DVD, conversion, streaming media and many other aspects.

He also understood what Shen Xiangyang meant.

This matter must be done through artificial intelligence technology!

Ziweixing Global now has the world's largest film and television library, with 8000 films of all kinds alone. If the staff repair each film frame by frame, it will be impossible to finish it.

The best way is to use artificial intelligence to repair in batches, and then let the staff only do some fine-tuning on the details.

If Ziwei Star Global does not do this, I am afraid no one will do it.

Netflix is ​​positioned as a technology company, and they can actually research related artificial intelligence technologies.But the problem is that it is difficult for Netflix to get too many copyrights from Hollywood. Netflix's future way out is self-made dramas.

With the current level of digital cameras, new films are shot in 4K, and there is no need for conversion at all.

These Hollywood film companies don't even think about it.

Even after more than ten years, when watching some streaming movies on the Internet, many old movies from the 90s and 720s only have a maximum of [-]P, which is the DVD version converted by the distribution company back then, without any digital restoration and definition upgrade.

Hollywood's awareness of streaming media is still weak, and their own technological strength is also poor. They really don't have enough strength to digitally upgrade the definition of every movie. They can only compare the attention of some classics. Gao Gao's movies are restored, such as "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic".

It can be seen that this is a market with great potential.

If Ziweixing Global cooperates with Ziweixing to jointly establish an artificial intelligence research center to develop the application technology of digital restoration, as long as this is done, then not only can some old films of Ziweixing Global be digitally restored and repaired in the future. The resolution upgrade can also be used for commercialization, helping other film and television companies to process old films by charging a fee.

Hollywood is only in America.

But every country in the world has its own history of film and TV drama development, and old movies in every country will encounter such problems.

They all have such needs.

Ziweixing Global can use technology patents to make money.

This is definitely a market with an opportunity to tap!

Zhou Buqi and Shen Xiangyang have worked together for so many years, and they have already formed a tacit understanding.

After such a research, I immediately understood what each meant.

Zhou Buqi didn't say a word, just nodded and looked at Shen Xiangyang, and the message was conveyed.For more detailed technical links, Shen Xiangyang will be in touch, and Zhou Buqi will not be involved. He will go directly to the office of the CEO of Netflix.

Next, it's time to talk about some business cooperation.

Boss Zhou is very sincere!
He even invested in the extremely risky American TV series "Game of Thrones" without hesitating to bear the industry rumors of "stupid hat", "layman", and "people with a lot of money", and made a substantial concession on copyright, investing 40%, only Received a 25% dividend of streaming media rights and DVD sales profits.

This streaming copyright is for Netflix!
However, it is not so easy for Netflix to obtain the streaming copyright of "Game of Thrones" and most of Ziweixing Global's film and television content.

With Netflix's current strength, let them pay for it, and they can't afford it even if they sell everything.

If you can't afford it, you can only exchange it with equity.

Zhou Buqi is now the largest shareholder of Netflix, and has bought in large quantities several times before and after, holding 2854 million shares, accounting for 47.58% of Netflix's total share capital!

However, more shares are useless.

Netflix is ​​an AB stock. The founder Hagentings personally holds less than 3% of Netflix shares, but he firmly holds the control of Netflix.

Zhou Buqi can only talk and discuss with him.

Fortunately, Boss Zhou is now well-known and has a great voice. Netflix's entrepreneurial team also sees his kindness in supporting Netflix.

Both parties want Netflix to be good, of course, the closer the cooperation, the better.

So the communication is very smooth.

In particular, the streaming rights of "Game of Thrones", which made Netflix's management very excited.This is a new film, and it is also the most epic fantasy masterpiece launched by HBO!

Whether this American drama can succeed is secondary.

As long as the news is released that Netflix will introduce HBO's blockbuster, the capital market will be moved by the news, and Netflix's stock price will rise slowly.

As the stock price rises and the goodwill increases, Netflix can get more loans... Under Zhou Buqi's suggestion, Netflix's board of directors has passed the strategic plan for self-produced dramas.

It is expected that in the third quarter of this year, the first self-produced drama project will be approved!
The concept of "net drama" will also be born from this.

Now the market value of Netflix has reached 34 billion US dollars, and the two parties have also agreed that Ziweixing Global will make a strategic investment in Netflix and is expected to hold 25% of Netflix's shares.

……

Zhou Buqi went to the airport to see his family on the plane.

The whole family left, and only Senior Sister Zhen Yu and Secretary Sun Guanran were left by his side to help him deal with the remaining work at hand.

Everyone else went back to China to prepare for the New Year.

The plane has already left, and the private yacht is also parked in Hawaii. After the winter vacation, my younger sister Zhou Nan went to Hawaii with Jiang Bingjie and Dili Reya for vacation, and drove the big yacht there early.

This also means that Zhou Buqi can only stay in the Bay Area these days. After leaving the airport, he will go to the Google headquarters in San Jose.

This is the place with the lowest crime rate and the highest safety factor in the United States.

Even so, Zhou Buqi still maintains the habit of traveling in two cars.

He rides in a car and is accompanied by security in a car.

On the way, Sun Guanran elbowed Zhou Buqi, "Hey, are you bullying Mu'er?"

"Feng Muer?" Zhou Bu was puzzled, "What did I bully?"

Sun Wanran said, "She doesn't seem very happy recently."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, I know."

"what happened?"

"It's not a good decision!"

"What decision?"

"She wants to withdraw!"

"Withdraw?" Sun Guanran was stunned for a moment, "Where are you going to withdraw?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Where can I withdraw? She doesn't want to be my secretary anymore, she wants to live a stable life."

Sun Guanran was surprised, "Really? Is she so ambitious?"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "What kind of ambition is this? I think it's because I have long hair and short knowledge, and I don't even understand the reason why I would rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife. I have been traveling with me for several years, and my vision and layout are still similar to those of a small town. It’s like a little girl who came out and didn’t grow up.”

"What's wrong with the small town?" Sun Guanran wrinkled his nose and snorted softly, "You came from the countryside! Who do you look down on!"

Zhou Buqi said with emotion: "This Mu'er is still too petty. What's wrong with following me? She is also a secretary. Look at Ning Lu, who is one year younger than her. She also came from a small place. Her style is so majestic. ? This gap in the level of thinking determines the gap in the level of life."

Sun Wanran slapped his forehead, "Okay, you don't want to give me ecstasy soup."

Zhen Yu, who was sitting on Zhou Buqi's left, smiled and said, "It's not ecstasy soup. As the old saying goes, character determines destiny. But what determines character? Habits determine character. What determines habits? Behavior determines habits. What determines behavior?" Thoughts determine actions. In the final analysis, thoughts determine destiny."

Sun Wanran said "oh", not quite agreeing.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "The most important thing is luck. There is no way to do this thing. Some people are born with a golden key in their mouths. Even those born with cerebral palsy can be praised highly. People of ordinary background need more Luck. Thought is the foundation, and luck is decisive.”

"What about you?" Zhen Yu looked at him, "What does your success come from?"

Zhou Buqi said truthfully: "Of course it's luck, I'm the luckiest person in the world! If I didn't have this luck, I would be a small boss in a certain place at most, and at most I would hire a few female college students. It's impossible not to find such an excellent girl like you. Well, Wanwan is so stupid, maybe I can trick her into my hand."

Sun Wanran said unconvinced: "You are so stupid. When I was in school, I got better grades than you! I was smarter than you!"

Zhou Buqi was noncommittal.

Little by little from his previous life, he doesn't want to recall any details now.Or is the life in this life better and more memorable.The people and things in the previous life, let them all pass away, there is nothing worth nostalgic and recalling.

Suddenly, Zhou Buqi thought of something, "By the way, Mu'er is going to change posts, what about my secretary? Didn't I ask you to recruit a new secretary?"

Sun Wanran had a headache, "Still talking, it's not suitable!"

"Ok?"

"Didn't you say you're looking for a computer-savvy secretary? I've looked at more than 3000 resumes, and none of them meet the criteria."

"Not good-looking? Not good-looking?"

"Well, girls who study computers generally don't have very good looks and figures, but there are always a few very beautiful ones, but..." Sun Guanran gave him a big roll of eyes, "But don't you have a virgin complex? I've entered a dead end. I've picked out three girls with good looks, figures, and abilities, and I even made a phone call to communicate with them. I can't pass this level."

Zhen Yu pursed her lips, and analyzed: "It's not surprising. Most of the computer department is male, and there are a few girls. They are also surrounded by wolves. I am afraid that no girl can be here for four years. Persevere in this environment."

Sun Guanran suggested: "How about looking for it from abroad? Go to Stanford or Berkeley?"

"Foreigners? Pull it down, there are none in China, and it is even more impossible abroad."

Zhou Buqi has a lot of personal privacy, so the position of a female secretary is extremely demanding. She doesn't have to be capable, good-looking and tall to be able to take up the job, but she also has to be loyal and reliable.

It doesn't even matter in terms of ability, as long as you have good looks, good figure, self-cleaning, faithful and reliable, you can have this job.

But as Zhou Buqi's wealth increased and his social status increased, it became more and more difficult to find loyal and reliable people.

He's so famous now that he's already been targeted.

Maybe a competitor found out about Boss Zhou's living habits, and then trained a female secretary to send him over. This would be a commercial espionage.

Randomly find an amateur from among the female college students to be a secretary, this way should be as cautious as possible!

It is best to have a reliable person recommend it, and the details of the family background are clear.
