Chapter 223 Seeing Lily Again
After a period of fermentation.

More and more netizens are aware of Netflix Entertainment and "The Walking Dead". More than 20 days after the first episode was released, more than 1600 million netizens have watched it.

It's not that there are more than 1600 million hits, but after the first episode.

According to later statistics, more than [-]% of the users are from the United States, and the rest are from Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia and other places.

For unknown reasons, "The Walking Dead" became famous in India, and successfully attracted a large number of Indian netizens, with about three to four million people watching it.

It's a pity that Asan is too poor.

Bai Piao is about the same, it is too difficult to count on them to subscribe members.

It's the same whether these users have or not, it's just to make the data released to the public a little more beautiful.

If the mainland market, which is not included in the statistics and also cannot provide revenue, the total number of viewers may double or triple.

The thought of losing so much potential income makes Su Rui's body hurt so much that she can't breathe.

After his proposal.

The company is discussing to provide low-quality, low-cost special edition membership services with advertisements in a number of developing countries and regions, including India.

In this regard, it can only be said that making less money is better than not making money at all, and the basic membership price is likely to be compressed to about $3.

In the mainland, it is difficult to start business even if the price is lowered due to censorship. Su Rui’s plan is to wait for the right time to sell the online broadcasting rights to a certain video website in the mainland.

As for how to cut it and which highlights to cut, it has nothing to do with Netflix Entertainment.

Anyway.

Anyway, the popularity of "The Walking Dead" has far exceeded Su Rui's expectation.

He thought it would take a while to see improvement. Facts have proved that he did not choose the wrong direction for his second venture. Compared with some industries that need to sell products to others, it is easier to do online TV business. As long as the quality of film and television dramas is good enough, The user came to the door by himself.

As the popularity has increased, the original plan to spend 1000 million US dollars on promotion was temporarily shelved by Suri.

Instead of wasting money on publicity, it is better to make more good dramas while the iron is hot.

Judging from this situation, it is very likely that there will be one or two more dramas this year.

For example, The Big Bang Theory.

Sitcoms are usually shot in studios, so planning is not difficult. Suri has watched it twice and was deeply impressed by the characters.

……

1 month 14 number.

The release date of the fourth episode of "The Walking Dead" will definitely attract a large number of users to recharge since it requires a membership to watch it.

The software development department at the headquarters has worked overtime and tested many times to confirm repeatedly that there will be no problems.

Due to the time differences around the world, some people will not watch it immediately. The backend server has been upgraded again after spending money. In theory, it can barely accommodate 350 million people online at the same time.

The company is growing too fast.

It was only officially established in October last year, and its foundation is too shallow. It has attracted more than 1000 million users in just three months, and some aspects have not yet caught up.

Technical and management matters are all in charge of the team headed by Ricky Trenz CEO, so Su Rui doesn't have to worry too much.

On the Netflix film and television company in Hollywood, the human resources department has been busy recruiting people, and the officially hired screenwriter team has expanded to more than 70 people.

As Su Rui changed his mind about settling on Lanai Island all year round, it seems that there is no need to arrange all the scriptwriting studios on the island.

Some screenwriters with good abilities will choose to give up entry because they need to move, change houses, and be separated from their families. Too far away from the studio is not conducive to attracting talents, and it also increases costs.

Suri lives in Hollywood, and Daddario had the opportunity to come and see him during his weekend break.

The two mentioned when they talked on the phone that they had started filming the content of the seventh episode script. The actors and crew were in good shape and the progress was accelerating.

Everyone seems to be very busy, but Suri is still doing nothing. All the work combined can be done in just one hour every day.

On the afternoon of the 14th.

He unexpectedly receives an invitation from Lily Collins.

The girl said on the phone that in order to thank him for helping to get the heroine role in "The Vampire Diaries", she would treat her to dinner tonight. It happened that a high-end Chinese restaurant opened near Rodeo Drive.

In all fairness.

Although Lily Collins is not as hot and sexy as Daddario, nor does she have the appearance and figure of Yuko Hoshino, Suri has a good impression of her. She has a lively personality like a girl next door and is very relaxed when chatting.

A few months ago, the two had a little story in their mansion in Beverly Hills, and their relationship became estranged afterwards.

Feeling that getting along as friends is pretty good now, and he has nothing else to do, so he readily agreed to the dinner tonight.

Watch TV at home, take a shower and change clothes after working out, and go out in the car.

I hadn’t noticed it until today when I passed by near Rodeo Drive, and Suri discovered that there was a Tesla flagship store here.

The company has only developed one car in all, and there is nothing to see in the store.

At most, you can change the interior color and paint color. The sales volume of the Roadster electric sports car is so low now that opening a physical store is a loss-making proposition.

Lily Collins is still the same.

As a student who has just entered the university campus, she already has a newly purchased Range Rover as a mobility scooter.

A typical person is still addicted to food. Seeing her helplessly, it took him a few minutes to park the car sideways. Su Rui was very angry.

Seeing Su Rui wearing a peaked cap standing by the side of the road, Lily put a bright smile on her face, put the car keys in her small handbag, and asked:

"What are you doing here, waiting for me?"

"I happened to see you when I got off the car, so wait, why can't you think about buying such a big car?"

Lily answered him:

"My mom's driver usually helps me, so it's easy to park from school to my house. There are too many cars here."

Su Rui almost forgot that she was still a little rich woman, and continued to ask: "Have the people from the company signed you up for a contract? How much is the salary they negotiated with you?"

"$5 an episode is already a very good price for a newcomer like me. Sometimes you can only get so much as a supporting role after making a movie."

Lily has a father worth [-] million pounds, and her mother is also good at managing money.

She has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. Compared with how much money she makes from filming, she pays more attention to taking the opportunity to prove herself and build a career.

Su Rui smacked her lips and reminded:
"From the perspective of a friend, I should advise you to find a more reliable agent. The salary of 5 US dollars is a bit low. You are the heroine this time."

Lily's little brain froze instantly, and after a while, she said dumbfoundedly:

"This is your company. How can you think that the salary of employees is low? I am very, very satisfied with this number. It seems that I will develop it into a series of TV series. If the ratings are good, it will be OK to give me a little increase."

Suri replied:
"I'm worried that if I don't pay enough, you will be poached by other companies. Many companies are now trying to make trouble for me."

Lily was full of confidence in this, and told with a bright smile:

"Don't worry, I won't forget who helped me. As long as you don't kill the show, I will keep acting. Even if director James Cameron asks me to be the heroine, I'm willing to keep it for you." Release date."

Su Rui was instantly happy after hearing this, and said:
"Really? I'm afraid that when I call you, you suddenly ask me, who are you..."
