Chapter 3137 Rights Protection Committee

Over the years, Zhou Buqi has helped Netflix a lot.

One of them is to help Netflix obtain a lot of copyrights from Hollywood. Basically, all major Hollywood manufacturers have cooperated with Netflix and authorized some of its film and television content, including Disney.

Netflix and Disney agreed that Netflix would pay Disney $1.2 million each year in exchange for exclusive streaming rights to all Disney movies, including all old films in the library and 7-8 new films to be released by Disney each year. The contract was signed for 5 years.

The reason why the fee is so low is that the contract was signed two years ago in 2012.

Before 2016, Disney had already licensed the copyright of relevant streaming content to Starz, and would implement the new agreement after the contract ended in 2016.

This contract was signed beautifully.

Helped Netflix acquire Disney's movies at a very low price.

  要是以现在2014年10月下旬的流媒体价格来看，迪士尼的这部分电影流媒体版权的授权费，每年至少也要3亿美元。要是延续到合同结束的2021年，至少得6亿-8亿美元！

Ziweixing Global is going to be a streaming media platform and is also going to collect copyrights everywhere.

But we can't just ignore Netflix's life or death.

Since Netflix has already acquired the streaming rights to Disney's movies, Zhou Buqi will not ask for it. In addition to movies, Disney also has many other contents, such as popular TV series.

Before Disney launches its own film and television streaming media, we should collect as much of Disney's film and television content as possible and explore its market value.

Once Disney launches its own streaming platform, the relevant content will definitely be taken back, and it will be extremely difficult to get it again in the future.

Old Zhang joined in the fun and followed Zhou Buqi to Disneyland.

As soon as they met, Robert Egger complained with a bitter face, "Zhou, you have caused me so much trouble!"

Zhou Buqi was confused, "What's wrong?"

Robert Iger said: "Just before you came, I had a phone call with Cook, and he was furious with me. Really, I have never seen him so angry, he was almost crazy, he said I was a traitor."

"This is inexplicable. You are the CEO of Disney. Is it wrong for you to care about the long-term development of Disney? Is it justice to betray your own company and help Apple cover up the truth without considering the interests of Disney?" Zhou Buqi snorted, "Cook is too out of control."

Robert Egger sighed heavily.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "This is great. Have you seen the reports in today's Hollywood Observer, The New Yorker, and Hollywood Entertainment? They all praised your actions! Many people say that Hollywood is the essence of upholding values. If Hollywood surrenders to hackers, doesn't it mean that American values ​​are succumbing to terrorists? This is the West, but where is the spirit of the cowboys?"

Robert Iger slumped down on the reception sofa and sighed, "I have decided to submit my resignation to Apple's board of directors."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "If you are interested in technology, I can invite you to join the board of directors of Ziweixing International."

"what?"

Robert Egger's heart moved slightly and he was very interested.

He is a smart man.

He comes from a media background and has been working in television, film and media-related fields all his life.

Technology is his shortcoming, but the future of Hollywood will definitely be closer to technology.

  If the CEO lacks sufficient understanding of technology, how can he lead a company to successfully complete its transformation towards technology?

Zhou Buqi said: "I sincerely want to invite you to join. Ziweixing International currently has eight directors. After you join, it will just become an odd number, which is just right."

Robert Iger hesitated and said, "Then I'll think about it. Give me three months."

The efficiency of this American was really too poor, so Zhou Buqi said, "Give me a response before the end of the year. I hope to hold the first meeting of the next year with a complete board of directors."

"it is good."

Robert Egger was very excited.

This is really a great choice.

Zhou Buqi also laughed in his heart.

It’s not for nothing that he invited Robert Egger to join the board of directors of Ziweixing International.

Disney wants to develop its streaming business.

It is certainly not as good as Purple Star Global, but it is definitely second in Hollywood. Looking at the entire Hollywood, apart from Boss Chow, only Robert Iger is the most interested in technology and can best understand the general trend of technology.

The development of Disney's streaming business is certainly inseparable from the support of cloud computing services.

With the relationship of "director", Disney's streaming media cloud service partner will have no choice but to choose Ziwei Cloud. By then, the world's first, second, and third streaming media giants will all rely on Ziwei Cloud's services, and Ziwei Cloud's foundation in the streaming media industry will become more solid.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Don't worry about Cook. I will talk to him later. He was wrong in the first place, but he is justified. Last night's charity fundraising raised more than 3200 million US dollars. Half of it will be distributed to the victims whose nude photos were exposed to compensate them mentally. The other half will be used to fight hackers and sue Apple."

"Do you really want to sue?"

Robert Iger had mixed feelings.

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "We don't really want to sue, but we want Apple to show its attitude. Those photos were leaked from Apple and caused a very bad impact. They should make some compensation. If Cook takes the initiative, maybe we can settle it privately."

Robert Iger was not stupid either. He asked doubtfully, “Are you competing with Apple in some business and want to use your influence in Hollywood to put pressure on Apple?”

"That's not true!" Zhou Buqi waved his hand. "When the time comes, we will set up a rights protection committee. You will be the chairman of the committee and seek justice for our actress..."

Robert Iger was almost scared to death, "No! No! I won't participate! It's easy to talk to other companies, but I can't compete directly with Apple."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "This is an opportunity to win the hearts of the people. Lionsgate contacted me early in the morning, hoping that I could join in and contribute to the common interests of Hollywood. At the same time, they also agreed to grant me the exclusive streaming rights of all Lionsgate films."

"No, I can't take part in this."

Robert Iger strongly disagreed.

Zhou Buqi was just being polite and never considered him at all.

Even if Zhou Buqi himself does not take up the position of "Chairman of the Rights Protection Committee", it will definitely fall on the head of the CEO of Ziweixing Global. This opportunity to lead Hollywood to challenge the technology giants can well unite people's hearts and gain reputation in the industry. This good opportunity cannot be given up.
