Chapter 224 Paid Membership
Two people ate and ordered four dishes and one soup.

This newly opened Chinese restaurant is a branch. The main store is in New York. It seems to be quite famous and has received a Michelin star.

Signature dishes include braised pork with chestnuts, steamed buns with crab powder, sweet and sour short ribs, etc. Su Rui came back for the first time and didn't know how they tasted, so he chose the four signature dishes recommended by the chef.

Being able to get a Michelin star means that the dishes should have been improved and are more in line with the tastes of the United States.

After tasting the sweet and sour short ribs, I decisively added more sugar, and the taste of the braised pork was also a bit strange.

It can be eaten, but not very good.

Chinese people evaluate the taste of a dish, and the highest evaluation is probably "very good". In the United States, it is difficult to find a Chinese restaurant that suits your appetite except for cooking at home.

Except for Chinatown, in order to attract customers, restaurant owners generally adjust their menus. Whites and blacks may like it, but it is not suitable for Suri.

Tonight is Lily's treat, so of course he won't pick and choose.

We ate and chatted, leaving aside the embarrassing things before, and the atmosphere was quite good.

At the beginning of seven o'clock in the evening.

Su Rui received a text message, and after reading it, he began to lose his mind and think hard.

Lily was a little curious, and asked him, "What's the matter? If there is something to do, it doesn't matter if you go first."

"No, Lynch, the director of "The Walking Dead", asked me to write a theme song for this show, and said that he was going to replace the previous ending credits. I am considering whether there is a suitable song."

Su Rui put away the phone.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a guest who was secretly taking pictures of himself.

In order to avoid being published in the newspaper afterwards and causing unnecessary misunderstandings to Daddario and the others, it seems that they should send a message to explain later, such as finding a reason to say that they will have an interview in person tonight and get a vaccination in advance.

Many entertainment magazines and newspapers like to read pictures and make up stories to attract people who eat melons.

No matter what outsiders think, as long as your backyard doesn't catch fire, you'll be fine.

After listening to his words, Lily said with a smile:
"I've seen you write songs. It should be easy to compose a theme song. Since I want to write songs for "The Walking Dead", shouldn't you also make arrangements for "The Vampire Diaries" that I'm about to shoot?"

Although she didn't know where her confidence in herself came from, Su Rui was very self-aware, and replied with a dry cough:

"I guess it's because I'm getting old. I've been a bit out of inspiration recently. Let's talk about it when I have time. Usually, I am in charge of watching the script. The shooting of "The Vampire Diaries" will start in about two weeks. I am looking for a suitable venue, and you are also preparing Is it?"

"I practice how to act every day. I got the script at the beginning, and I'm still reading the original Canadian novel, trying to bring myself into it."

Lily drank her red wine, then said with a smile:

"The school will start classes soon. My mother has already contacted the principal and will temporarily help me arrange a suspension of school. I hope that I can get enough credits before graduation. It is too difficult to balance work and study."

Taking a few seconds to look back at his college career, Su Rui found that he was busy playing. The professor was hired by him as a consultant, and he even donated some money to the principal. No one cared about him afterwards.

Lily is only 19 years old, just a freshman in college, and she is still very young.

Being able to drink red wine in the restaurant is already counted by the waiters for the sake of tipping, and they turn a blind eye to their table.

Su Rui's thoughts were not so rigid, and he said:

"Education is a stepping stone, and you are already standing at the door. The income of many students who have graduated for ten years may not be as much as you earn from filming a drama. Besides, this is just the beginning. If "The Vampire Diaries" becomes popular, the ten-year income may It’s not as good as your salary for one episode. Of course, it’s still very important to learn more knowledge, just take me for example, I often watch TV and read magazines to enrich myself.”

Lily didn't feel anything wrong at first.

After thinking about it again, I realized that isn’t this just watching dramas and reading casual books to kill time?
With a smile on her lips, she said:

"I'm majoring in journalism. If you can let me arrange an interview, then the homework should be fine. Then I can get to know more famous people and finish my thesis."

"Then let me pay the bill today, lest you expose my black material..."

After all, he almost fired a gun.

In addition, Lily also has a good impression of Su Rui, so it is inevitable that there will be a little ambiguity during the period.

If you want to ask how there was less contact with each other earlier, the main reason is that the two have different views on love.

Lily is a good girl who likes a simple relationship with one heart and one mind, but Su Rui can't control her belt and has no plans to settle down yet.

Unlike Talula, provoking is provoking, everyone is happy and there is no burden.

And if you get involved with Lily too deeply, let her take it seriously and have real feelings, you will be sad afterwards.

Until now, the situation remains unchanged.

So before the dinner was finished before eight o'clock, Su Rui only asked a bodyguard to help drive her home safely, while she drove back home by herself.

Arrived home at [-]:[-].

Su Rui called one of the company's technical directors and asked him to send real-time data.

Sitting on a deck chair by the open-air swimming pool, using a laptop to open the mailbox, and chanting a few words such as "God bless you to make a fortune".

When he clicked on the link, he found not only the total amount of subscription members, but also more than a dozen miscellaneous data such as "total number of consecutive monthly subscriptions", "number of new members added on the day".

There are more than 50 total accounts who choose continuous monthly subscriptions, and the number of paying members has also increased from about 60 before to just over 109 million.

Members are divided into a cheaper version with ads and a slightly more expensive version without ads. Due to the discount for the first recharge, the average account is about 8 US dollars.

In just 20 minutes tonight, more than 50 paid members were added, bringing about $410 million in revenue to the company.

As soon as the fourth episode was launched, this group of people couldn't wait to come to watch it. They are undoubtedly die-hard fans of "The Walking Dead".

Wait until Suri refreshes the link again.

The total number of paying members has rapidly increased to 115 million.

In less than half an hour, it attracted almost 60 recharged viewers. Even if the growth rate slowed down later, it was enough to make Suri overjoyed.

There are many people who say that "The Walking Dead" is horrible and disgusting, but many people can't stand it.

The content on traditional TV stations is like light Huaiyang stir fry, and people occasionally want to have a hot pot with heavy spicy oil.

It just so happened that there were no interesting new dramas recently, and "The Walking Dead" chose to air at [-]:[-] on Wednesday night, and there was no one who could fight in the same segment.

After being happy for a while, Suri called Daddario to announce the good news and asked her to work hard to make the show well and try to stabilize the plot.

As Netflix Entertainment starts charging, it will inevitably affect the enthusiasm of some viewers.

However, since you have to collect it sooner or later, instead of being a philanthropist and swallowing the bitter fruit of huge losses, it is better to make money with tears in your complaints...
