The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 246 I Forgot Netflix

"Huang, according to your request, I have sent down the creation of this new superhero!" Isaac Perlmutter said.

The setting of this superhero was arranged by Huang He from beginning to end, and Isaac Perlmutter was only responsible for announcing Huang He's orders.

"Huang, can this superhero really be popular?" Isaac Perlmutter was a little worried. He actually didn't like this superhero because it was completely different from American tastes.

Americans like superheroes who rely on money, mutations, or bloodlines to obtain superpowers. A hero like this who actually relies on his own cultivation to obtain superpowers, Isaac Perlmutter I'm still quite worried, especially because he still relies on Chinese cultivation cheats. It's hard to imagine that such a superhero can become popular, let alone play the role of a future Marvel pillar.

"It should be!" Huang He actually didn't know, because he didn't have this character in his previous life, it was created by Huang He himself, who knows if this superhero can be popular.

However, this role will definitely allow Chinese culture to penetrate into the United States step by step, and it will definitely make some Americans interested in cultivating immortals, and then learn more about Chinese culture through cultivating immortals. This is enough.

Some people may think that Huang He is insulting Chinese culture, how can foreigners come to China's cultivation.

Come on, this is invading a foreign market, and at the same time it is the cultural advantage of the Americans. If the Americans see a Chinese dominating the United States and blowing up a city at every turn, will the Americans buy it?

So the protagonist must be from the United States, but his cultural core and ability are all Chinese. This is actually a melon man, used to promote Chinese culture.

Of course, Huang He definitely couldn't answer that way, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, although what you said just now was not wrong, but the current superheroes are bad because of the points you said, and everything is too much." It’s the same. Now there is a completely different superhero who does not rely on any other external forces and relies entirely on his own strength. I think readers will be interested.”

"Besides, there are mysterious Chinese cultivation skills in it. At least gimmicks are enough. What's more, there will be movies related to Chinese fairy tales released in the future, which can increase the popularity of the whole, and there will be no problem!"

"..." Isaac Perlmutter shrugged his shoulders, he doesn't care anymore, anyway, Huang He is the boss, as long as he doesn't come to hinder Isaac Perlmutter's rights.

In this way, the task was released. In the end, a Chinese-American editor of Marvel won the right to create this hero. This editor grew up watching Jin Yong, and he is very clear about Chinese traditional culture and American culture. He came to be an editor, and his ability is not a problem.

In addition, Huang He arranged for a senior editor to be in charge of the plot of this superhero. As for the principle of the plot, Huang He only has one word, that is cool, how to arrange the plot as cool as possible.

In the end, Huang He left a preparatory committee in Marvel Studios to start selecting directors and actors, while preparing for the filming of Iron Man.

In fact, Marvel Pictures is not a newly established company. In fact, Marvel Pictures was established as early as 93. It has carried out many film and television related businesses, and has planned to shoot two or three TV series. It is a company with a certain Film and television company with work experience.

Therefore, as long as Marvel Pictures reorganizes a little, it can start film preparations.

By the way, Huang He directly transferred a guy named Kevin Fitch to become the person in charge of Marvel Pictures, because in history, it was this Kevin Fitch who created the Marvel movie world. , there should be no problem copying the answer.

And Kevin Feige is also very excited. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is also something in his dreams, and the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe starting from Iron Man is also the result of Kevin Feige's careful consideration and careful observation of the market.

It's just that he didn't expect that this point was exactly the same as the new boss, which surprised Kevin Fitch very much, and felt like meeting a bosom friend.

However, it is said that after Kevin Feige took office, he was called by his new boss into the office for a day of secret talks. Afterwards, Kevin Feige had a strange expression, but when people asked him what happened, he didn't say anything at all.

After completing the affairs of Marvel and Weta Studios, Huang He also basically completed his work in the United States. One day later, he boarded the plane back to China. He thought he could return to China smoothly, but unexpectedly A severe storm was encountered on the road, and the plane made an emergency landing at Los Angeles Airport. It will not be able to start again until tomorrow at the earliest.

"Unexpectedly, I came back again!" Boss Huang sighed. When he landed in the United States more than ten days ago, he was at the Los Angeles International Airport.

Originally, I went back directly from New York this time, but in the end I ended up in Los Angeles. This makes people sigh the magic of fate, but the more amazing thing is yet to come.

Because the flight will restart on the next morning, Huang He did not choose to go to the city to rest, but chose to check in directly at the hotel at Los Angeles International Airport.

But what people never expected was that the closed-circuit TV in the hotel where Huang He stayed was broken, and he asked the waiter to fix it, but the waiter said it couldn't be fixed.

I want to change rooms, but because more and more planes are forced to land, the hotel has no vacant rooms.

But the waiter said that their hotel still has a DVD. If you want to watch a movie, you can go to a nearby video rental store to buy a DVD, and then take it back to the hotel to play.

When renting discs, you can register with the room card of the hotel, so that the deposit can be exempted, and at the same time, the front desk of the hotel can directly return the discs, eliminating the trouble of returning the discs.

Anyway, being idle is idle, Huang He strolled to this DVD rental shop just across the wall from the hotel by himself.

"Hey, the name of this store seems familiar!" Huang He glanced at the Netflix signboard and couldn't remember it for a while.

So he chose to enter the store and planned to choose DVDs, but found that all the movies were in English, which made people very depressed.

But soon, Huang He found an area marked with the 18X logo in the deepest part of the store, which was specially partitioned off with a cloth curtain, and at the same time, a clerk stood at the door and stared vigilantly, trying to enter the area. minor.

"By the way, watch this!" Huang He slapped his thigh. Although he couldn't understand English movies, this kind of movie doesn't need to know any English at all, just follow the plot.

And Leng Zhiruo is still by her side, the two of them can learn and sell later... Thinking of this, Huang He couldn't help but rushed into the curtain impatiently.

About 10 minutes later, Huang He came out with ten boxes of DVDs in his arms, and went to pay the bill arrogantly.

The clerk is completely familiar with this. Many oriental people come here and they are the same. They will ask themselves if they have an invoice or something, which is a bit funny.

"Thank you for your support to Netflix," the clerk said habitually after scanning the QR code.

"Bang!" The DVD in Huang He's hand dropped to the ground.

"Sir, is there any question?" The clerk looked at Huang He in surprise and asked.

"It's okay, you mean your company is called Netflix, right?" Huang He asked in broken English.

"Yes!" The clerk nodded.

"Then, where is your company's headquarters? Can you tell me the specific address?" Huang He asked impatiently.

"Are you going to complain about me?" The clerk looked at Huang He in fear, "I don't have any services, so let you be dissatisfied!"

"Of course, there is no problem. I just want to meet the CEO of your company and talk about acquiring your company!" Huang He laughed.

"..." The clerk stopped talking, looking at the yellow crane like a fool.

"This is your tip!" Huang He took out a $100 bill and handed it to the clerk.

"Hello, our company's headquarters is in Los Gatos, California..." the clerk said quickly.

--------

"Brother-in-law, why have you rented a DVD for so long?" Back in the hotel, Leng Zhiruo asked in confusion.

"Ahem, tidy up, and then notify the other employees, we will leave immediately!" Huang He said quickly.

"Going back to China? Has the airport been unsealed?" Leng Zhiruo said pleasantly.

"No, I don't know if the airport has been unsealed, but we won't be taking this plane. You can call the airline and tell us that we have refunded the ticket." Huang He said quickly.

"Refund? Brother-in-law, where are you going?"

"That's right, let's go to Los Gatos, let's go now!" Huang He said impatiently, and then whispered to himself, "Damn it, I thought Netflix wasn't established now..."

Yes, Huang He has a new goal, and this goal is the famous Netflix in the future, the English name is Netflix.As the world's largest and strongest streaming media provider in the future, Netflix's ability to make money even surpasses the sum of the six major Hollywood film companies.

For a long time, Huang He thought that Netflix should not have been established, because the network in 2002 was not enough to support an online streaming media company. For example, the famous YouTube in the future would not be established until 2005, so Huang He thought that Netflix was almost Founded at the same time, until today Huang He saw the Netflix logo in the DVD rental shop downstairs.

Afterwards, Huang He got detailed information from Netflix. It turned out that this company was established in 1997. Its current main business is DVD rental business. They have opened more than 20 DVD rental stores in California. The entire state of California is considered a large chain.

Looking at the entire United States, this is just a small insect, and it is a not very well-known DVD company.

However, Huang He has noticed that starting this year, Netflix has launched a mailbox delivery service. Users only need to register for a membership at Netflix and pay a monthly membership fee of US$10, then they can send to Netflix for free every month. Rent a set of DVDs.

There seems to be nothing unusual about this service, but users can not only rent discs in Netflix stores, but also log in to Netflix’s official website directly through the Internet, search for targets in the directory of the disc library above, and then directly After placing an order, Netflix will mail the required discs to the user's mailbox through express delivery.

Because the volume and weight of the CD are very light, there is no need to go by express, and it can be mailed directly, which greatly reduces the postage cost. Netflix simply announced that the postage is free, and users can choose their favorite CDs to watch. .

Some people may worry whether this will be exploited by users.Although wool is available, it is difficult to get it because you can only rent a set of up to two CDs at the same time, and if a set of CDs is sent by post, it will take at least 2-3 days on the way, and it takes a week to go back and forth. about.

Users can rent up to five or six sets a month, so the cost is not high at all.As for whether the user rents it back or not, that doesn't matter. Anyway, he has to pay a membership fee of 10 yuan a month, and this 10 dollars is enough to offset the lost discs.

Netflix even directly told users that if you come across a DVD of a movie you like, you can just keep it and just report to Netflix.

After that, you only need to spend an additional $5 to continue the membership service.

This policy of Netflix is ​​a breakthrough. In just half a year, Netflix has achieved great success in California. It is said that half of the DVD rental market in California has already been occupied by Netflix.
