Chapter 413 Save America
"Goddess Paris, please save America."

On the lawn in front of the villa, a group of fans knelt on one knee, their eyes fanatical, all focused on Paris.

The sun was shining brightly, and the golden sunlight shone on Paris, like a holy angel, holy and noble.

Paris froze.

She didn't expect that this group of fans came all the way here, not to ask her for an autograph, nor to meet her idol, but to ask her to come out to save America.

But the problem is, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her. She is just an ordinary person. Although she had the idea of ​​running for president, she didn't really participate.

You actually asked me to save the United States, isn't it a bit of a joke?

But seeing the serious and serious expressions of these fans, Paris couldn't say anything, a sense of mission surged in her heart, heavy.

Originally, she had the idea of ​​running for president, but now seeing a group of fans running to support her and asking her to come out, she felt very excited.

Paris took a deep breath, a wave of emotion welled up in her heart, she nodded solemnly: "Okay."

"Oh."

A group of fans cheered.

In the villa, the representative of the Elephant Party watched this scene dumbfounded.

On the lawn, a group of fans surrounded Paris with all the stars, like soldiers surrounding the general, bees surrounding the queen bee, or the people supporting the leader
When the reporter saw this scene, a news headline quickly appeared in his mind.

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

On this day, Lin Ziyi called Xu Nan.

"What's going on, I heard that your talks with Netflix have collapsed."

Xu Nan nodded: "Yes, the price they gave is too low. Anyway, it is a movie with a box office of over 800 million. Netflix only gave [-] million US dollars, which is too little."

Lin Ziyi persuaded: "800 million US dollars is actually a lot. Your movie has just surpassed [-] million at the box office. It's still a parody movie. It's impossible for Netflix to give you a high price."

Xu Nan retorted: "The account cannot be calculated like this. Although my movie is a spoof, it is very popular on the Internet and has many potential audiences."

"Besides, Paris is very popular on the Internet recently. I heard that she is going to run for president. If she really runs for the election, why would netizens not be interested in her movies?"

Lin Ziyi persuaded again: "The streaming media market in the United States is not like that in China. There are several playback software competitions. Here, Netflix is ​​the absolute leader. The remaining few competitors, only Disney has a little bit of strength, but there is no competition. It can't compare to Netflix."

"If you don't compromise, Netflix will bite the bullet and not buy your movie, then you will lose a lot."

Xu Nan continued: "Anyway, I won't sell it at a low price."

Lin Ziyi said helplessly: "Okay, you should think about it yourself."

Soon, Lin Ziyi hung up the phone, and Xu Nan became deep in thought.

The movie "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington" has been released for more than a month, and now there are only more than 200 theaters showing this movie, and the single-day box office is less than [-] US dollars. It is better than nothing. It's like nothing.

Under such circumstances, Xu Nan naturally set his sights on the overseas box office, as well as streaming media copyrights and videotape copyrights.

Among them, it is not difficult to release overseas, just rely on the channels of Emperor Cinemas to push them one by one. Foreign countries are still very interested in this kind of movie that spoofs the founding president of the United States.

But when it came to selling streaming media rights, Xu Nan ran into trouble because he and Netflix didn't agree on the price.

This is not the first time that Xu Nan has discussed streaming media copyright deals with Netflix. He has cooperated with Netflix people several times before, such as "The Hobbit Age", "Atlantic Rim" The media copyrights were all sold to Netflix, and Netflix also gave a good price. It can be said that everyone's cooperation before was quite pleasant.

But this time something went wrong, Xu Nan made an original spoof film, the box office was close to 3000 million, but Netflix was only willing to pay 800 million copyright fees, which was a lot lower than normal.

But Netflix also has reasons. They think that Xu Nan's movie is a spoof, and the quality is average.

The price of 800 million depends on the good cooperation between Emperor Cinemas and the past, otherwise they are only willing to pay 600 million.

Then the two sides froze, and they are still seeing each other.

The point is that the situation in the United States is different from that in China.

There are several domestic video sites such as Penguin Video, Kiwi Video, Moon Video, etc. The competition is very fierce. Under the circumstances of full competition, film and television companies do not worry about not being able to sell their film and television dramas at a good price.

In the United States, Netflix dominates. This video playback software alone accounts for 60.00% of the market share, and the rest of Disney Video and Apple Video add up to 30.00%.

So Netflix is ​​particularly strong in the United States, and they are not willing to accept negotiations at all. They either agree to a price of 800 million, or they don't buy it. There is no second way to go.

"President, I'm back." Awei came to Xu Nan's office.

Xu Nan immediately asked: "How is the negotiation with the people from Netflix? Are they willing to raise the purchase price?"

Avi nodded: "They have agreed to increase the price for the acquisition of the online broadcast rights of "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington."

Xu Nan smiled, the people at Netflix finally got the hang of it.

"But they are only willing to increase the price by 50 US dollars, that is to say, they are willing to use 850 million US dollars to purchase the online broadcasting rights of "The Ax of Cherry Blossoms in Washington"." Avi said.

Xu Nan got angry: "Are you kidding me? Our movie's box office is close to 3000 million US dollars. How can 850 million US dollars be enough? At least 1000 million US dollars."

Avi showed embarrassment beside him.

He also felt that Netflix’s purchase price was a bit low. This was his first movie as a producer, and it also starred Paris. With such a high popularity on the Internet, it was only 850 million US dollars. This price is really too low. .

But there is no way, Netflix has always been very strong, even the three major theater chains, and Hollywood's top film and television companies can't do anything to Netflix, because Netflix is ​​the overlord of streaming media in the United States.

It’s just Disney, because Netflix has repeatedly lowered the prices of their film and television dramas, causing Disney to build a streaming media platform to challenge Netflix in a rage.

However, Disney's streaming media platform is still at a loss, and it cannot compare with Netflix in terms of market size.

Besides, Disney is the largest media group in the United States. It owns theaters and a film and television company. It has a big family and a big business. Of course, it has the confidence to challenge Netflix.

But Xu Nan couldn't do it. He had to find a way to sell the streaming copyright of "The Falling Cherry Ax in Washington", and he had to sell it when it was the most popular, otherwise he would lose a lot of money.

Xu Nan felt very embarrassed.
