This director only makes bad movies.

Chapter 415 The oppression of Netflix

Avi came back soon and brought the latest news. Netflix said that the price of 700 million US dollars is the final price and will never be increased.

Obviously, Xu Nan's contact with Disney made Netflix angry, so Netflix decided to give Xu Nan a warning.

The monopoly group is so domineering, Xu Nan has no ability to resist.

But he is really not reconciled, this is his first original work in the United States, with a box office of more than 700 million, if he sells the streaming rights to Netflix for [-] million, it is completely selling gold at the price of cabbage .

Of course, this movie is gold in Xu Nan's eyes, but it's just so-so in the eyes of others. After all, it's just a spoof movie. Netflix's price of 700 million is already very face-saving, just a small warning.

Netflix felt that this warning should be enough for Xu Nan to realize the reality, and obediently sold them the copyright of "The Ax of Falling Sakura in Washington".

Don't look at Xu Nan's ups and downs in the American entertainment industry, but it's not enough to watch in front of Netflix.

The main reason is that Netflix is ​​too strong in the field of streaming media. It is a dominant company and does not even have an opponent that can check and balance, so they dare to do this.

In addition, Xu Nan's behavior of contacting Disney aroused Netflix's vigilance.

Although Disney's market share is less than 20.00%, and its strength is less than one-third of Netflix, Netflix still attaches great importance to this opponent.

Because Disney is not only the largest film and television company in the entertainment industry, but also the largest theater chain in the United States, as well as the number one brokerage company. It is the absolute overlord of the entertainment industry.

Although Netflix has overwhelmed Disney with its first-mover advantage, they have always been wary of the company.

Every year, Disney shoots a lot of popular film and television dramas. The online broadcast rights of these film and television dramas will undoubtedly enter Disney’s video website, and there are many popular movies. Disney’s video website is also the first choice.

Disney's foundation is too strong, even if it enters this industry with frequent tricks, it still poses a great threat to Netflix.

Therefore, as soon as Xu Nan contacted Disney, he was immediately warned by Netflix.

They were not only warning Xu Nan, but also the rest of the entertainment industry.

If you want to shop around, let's see what happened to Xu Nan first.

Moreover, Netflix also has this confidence. With a market share of 60.00%, and the huge funds obtained after several rounds of financing, they have no rivals in the field of streaming media, and even the three major theaters have to bow to them.

Netflix Group.

"Has the Huaxia director signed the contract?"

"not yet."

"It's almost 24 hours. Does he not want to sell?"

"It will definitely be sold, and now he is just not reconciled."

"That's right, he has no choice but us Netflix."

"If he does not agree to sign the contract within 24 hours, we will continue to lower the purchase price, and he will definitely not be able to hold on."

The people at Netflix are very confident, waiting for Xu Nan to bow his head and give in.

But to their surprise, 24 hours later, Xu Nan still did not sign a contract with Netflix, and agreed to sell the online broadcasting rights of "The Falling Cherry Ax Washington" to Netflix.

All of a sudden, Netflix is ​​really popular.

"That Huaxia director hasn't signed the contract yet?"

"It seems so."

"Anthony, what's going on, didn't you promise me that director Huaxia would definitely compromise?"

"He may be dissatisfied with the price and wants to increase it a bit, so he deliberately delays the time."

"The price of 700 million is still not satisfactory, how much more he wants to sell a spoof movie."

"The price must not be raised. Since he contacted Disney, we must not raise the price. We must let everyone in the circle know that trying to use Disney to pressure us is a wrong behavior, and there will be extremely serious consequences. .”

"But Xu has no idea of ​​selling the rights to broadcast the film for the time being. We can't force him to sign."

"Who says you can't?"

"what do you mean?"

"Contact me AMC Theaters."

There are three major theater chains in the United States, and there is both competition and cooperation among them. Strictly speaking, the meaning of competition is stronger, and cooperation is only a minority.

Disney has built a video platform and puts its own company’s film and television dramas on the video platform. AMC and Imperial Cinemas do not have a video platform, so of course it is impossible for their film and television dramas to be played on Disney’s video software, otherwise it would be equivalent to It's an enemy.

The film and television dramas of the two theater companies are basically broadcast on Netflix, and Netflix has therefore reached a good relationship with these two theaters.

"President, just now the manager of AMC Theaters notified me that our movie is going to be taken off the shelves." Awei walked into the office and told Xu Nan the bad news.

Xu Nan frowned: "Why! What's their reason?"

Avi grimaced: "They said it was to make room for other hit movies."

Xu Nan laughed angrily: "It's the off-season now, there aren't any popular movies released at all, and our movies only take up a few screens, so how much space can be freed up for releases."

It has been a long time since "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington" was released, and there are less than [-] theaters still showing it.

AMC theaters showing this movie to make room for other popular movies is as outrageous as a blind man saying that he bought a TV to watch the show.

Awei smiled wryly and said: "President, I heard rumors in the industry that this is because of Netflix. Netflix wants to force us to sell the online broadcast rights of the movie "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms" to them at a low price, so Contact AMC Theaters to put pressure on us by releasing the movie."

"The Netflix manager I contacted before called me just now and said that after their company's negotiation, the online broadcast rights of the movie "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington" are only worth 650 million U.S. dollars."

Xu Nan was very angry: "Damn Netflix, you are deceiving people too much."

In fact, AMC's release of the movie will not cause any loss to Xu Nan. After all, this movie can't earn tens of thousands of box office a day.

But this kind of situation where you can only be beaten but not fight back makes people very angry.

Netflix quickly spread the relevant news.

"Have you heard that director Huaxia and Netflix fell out because of the price of the online broadcast rights of the movie "The Falling Cherry Ax Washington"?"

"Are you kidding? Who has the ability to compete with Netflix, and Xu Nan is not from Emperor Cinemas. Netflix should not lower the price."

"I heard it was because Xu Nan contacted Disney and angered Netflix."

"So that's the case. It seems that Xu Nan is going to be unlucky this time."

"Yes, in the field of streaming media, no one disobeys Netflix, even the theater chain."

There are three cinemas in the United States, but the streaming media platform is only dominated by Netflix. Although Disney has a video platform, it is not an opponent of Netflix. "

"It deserves it, this Huaxia director is too arrogant, finally someone can cure him."

"I really think that the entertainment industry will let him do what he wants, and some people can rule him."

The industry is generally not very optimistic about Xu Nan. There is no way, Netflix is ​​too strong in the field of streaming media, and the three major theaters can only bow their heads.

This loss, Xu Nan is determined.

Hearing this news, Director Cameron felt as refreshed as if he had eaten a cold drink in summer.

Although I know that it won't have much impact on Xu Nan, but I feel very happy to let Xu Nan suffer.

It's all the guy's fault, and he lost a lot of money.

Originally, Cameron wanted to wait for the release of the movie "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington" to buy some sailors, and took this opportunity to vent his sulking.

As a result, when it was released, Cameron discovered that there was no need to buy a navy, because in the case of playing tricks on the whole network, buying a navy is a waste of money.

Seeing Xu Nan succeed again, not only did he not let out the breath in his heart, but he became even more aggrieved.

But fortunately, many unrighteous deeds will kill him. After waiting for so long, he finally got some good news to make him feel better.

Gore, the director of "The Bourne Shadow", was also very happy to hear the news, but it was a pity that this matter could not cause too much loss to Xu Nan.

A fly in the ointment.

Xu Nan also feels very embarrassed now, Netflix is ​​obviously making him angry, and he has nothing to do.

The most speechless thing is that even if Netflix lowers the purchase price, his purchase price is still higher than Disney.

Even if Xu Nan wanted to give Netflix some eye drops, he couldn't do it. Disney was confused, let alone Apple Video. It was fine as a mobile phone, and the streaming media field was completely a younger brother. but.

People from the company are also persuading Xu Nan to compromise.

George, an old employee of the company, said: "President, there is no way, Netflix is ​​so strong, we have no good way."

"The current situation is obvious. Whether it is sold to other video platforms or not, it is not as good as selling to Netflix, so I think signing a contract with Netflix is ​​the best choice."

Avi also has the same opinion: "Although I am also very angry with Netflix's approach, business is always business and cannot be mixed with personal emotions. At present, signing a contract with Netflix is ​​the best choice. Other options, It will cost us a lot of money.”

Even Lin Ziyi made a phone call to Xu Nan: "I contacted the people from Netflix, and they are willing to buy the copyright of "Falling Cherry Ax Washington" at a price of 750 million, and this is the only thing I can do , I advise you to bow your head."

Xu Nan felt extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do.

Could it be that we can only compromise with Netflix?

Although this is a very normal thing, he always feels a little uncomfortable.

However, if you don’t do this, what can you do? No one can check and balance Netflix, the monopoly overlord of the streaming media platform.

At this moment, Xu Nan's cell phone lit up, and a piece of news was pushed to Xu Nan's eyes.

"Paris, the great man from heaven, save America."
