Chapter 260 "Death Comes"

It's done.

Daddario would be returning to the set soon, and they didn't stay in Venice for long.

On the way back, we stopped in New York to refuel.

He also invited Hoshino Yuko, who had just left for two days, to have a sumptuous lunch at a well-known Mexican restaurant in midtown Manhattan.

Hoshino Yuko feels that the two of them are simply poisonous.

They didn't say anything when they met again after they separated, but they also ate and drank in front of her.

Because she has to take pictures for a magazine tomorrow, in order to stay in top condition, Hoshino Yuko can only eat some low-fat whole-wheat chicken salad burritos.

When she saw the honey-glazed grilled chicken legs and the cheese and beef tacos that Suri ordered, her mouth almost watered.

It takes about twelve hours to fly directly from Venice Airport to Los Angeles. After landing, it's like having a fight with someone else, which is quite tiring.

When walking around in New York, it will be a little more comfortable if you divide the journey into two parts.

Only spent half a day in Manhattan.

In the evening of local time, we continued to fly to Los Angeles. After boarding the plane, we stayed awake and watched movies to kill time, so as not to be unable to sleep after landing and suffer from jet lag for several days.

The movie is called "The Philadelphia Experiment" and its subject matter is science fiction. It was just released last year and Suri had no impression of it.

Under his influence, too many things have been changed. When I was watching the show, there was a plot in which someone died due to an accident.

This reminded Suri of a memory. He first checked the Internet on his mobile phone and found that there was no similar movie, so he said to Daddario who kept dozing off:
"I thought of another great idea, suitable for making movies or TV series."

Do what you do and love what you do.

Daddario immediately became interested and asked:
"What kind of story? Tell me quickly. I almost fell asleep. My current state will seriously affect filming. I need to adjust my biological clock as soon as possible."

Suri told:
"It should be regarded as a relatively alternative horror film, and the story is called "The God of Death is Coming"."

"Before getting on the plane, a certain unlucky guy accidentally predicted the scene of a passenger plane exploding, and everyone was hung up. When he came to his senses again, he realized that he had just gotten on the plane, and everything that happened was exactly as he predicted. Same."

"This guy immediately yelled to get off the plane, which caused him and his friends to be driven back to the terminal. Then the plane really exploded. Originally they thought they had escaped, but in the end they still ended up due to various accidents. They were taken away by death one after another."

Daddario's sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

Looking out the window of the plane, it has already turned dark, glowing with dim light.

She originally thought she was quite beautiful, but now it made her scalp numb. She rubbed her arms and said speechlessly: "Do you really want to do this? We are on the plane now, and I feel bad all over."

Suri shrugged innocently:

"You asked me to say it. It was because I was on the plane that I thought of this subject. If I am lucky enough, maybe I can make some money for the filming of "Inception". I invested most of the funds. I don’t have a lot of cash on hand now, and “Inception” is particularly cash-intensive.”

For a small production like "Death Comes", the preparation time is short, so it won't take too long to shoot it.

If you are lucky, it may become a hit, attracting many movie fans who like to look for excitement, and it is suitable for making a quick buck.After Suri became famous through her singing, she quickly changed many things and affected countless people's lives.

Before that, it also had a considerable impact.

For example, in his previous life, the Chinese director who was supposed to make "Death is Coming" in 2000 may have thought that there was an opportunity in this business because he traveled to Chinatown in Los Angeles in the early 90s and chatted with Xiao Suri who was selling game consoles at a stall. make money.

Then he chose to give up his extremely low-paying job as a screenwriter, opened a store specializing in selling game consoles, made a fortune, and completely lost the possibility of becoming a director.

The movie "Death Comes" mainly tells the story of survivors who escaped but could not escape death after all. It was like a program had a loophole and was forcibly repaired. It was paired with various bizarre accidents, which impressed Suri deeply.

Despite his numbness, Daddario found the idea appealing.

Suri immediately took her laptop, sat at the dining table, and wrote out the outline of the story. Before landing, she sent it to Amanda's secretary via email, asking her to find some powerful screenwriters to fill it in.

It is similar to Inception. It is a personal investment film project and has nothing to do with Netflix.

If it is broadcast on the Netflix Entertainment platform in the future, Suri will also have to be paid additional buyout fees or revenue sharing remuneration.

There are many popular movie themes in my head, and one will pop up every now and then.

Suri feels that it is indeed necessary to establish another film company. In the future, it can not only make money through box office, but also promote the development of Netflix Entertainment through some popular movies.

At present, Netflix Entertainment’s third-party film and television resources are mainly bought out at high prices, and the revenue model is relatively simple. In addition to paid membership, it is advertising revenue.

Taking advantage of the relatively small scale at the beginning of development, he wanted to try the "pay per chip" model.

That is to say, film companies are allowed to use the Netflix platform to play some new movies that have just been removed by theaters, and charge a certain fee separately in addition to the paid membership model.

If a movie is broadcast online for 99 cents, and if it can attract 500 million viewers to pay, then even if it is divided 200-[-], Netflix Entertainment can increase its revenue by more than [-] million US dollars, and the profit margin is very high.

If there are ten such movies every year, there is a chance to earn more than 2000 million US dollars, and it can also attract additional users to look for dramas on the Netflix entertainment platform.

In order to satisfy paying members, the single-film payment price for non-members will also be increased at that time, which is equivalent to becoming an online theater chain and relying on the huge scale of movie viewing to increase the company's revenue.

Right now, it's just an idea, and it's unclear whether it will cause any resistance from theaters.

How to argue is something that CEO Ricky Trenz and the others need to worry about. Suri is responsible for it personally, but it is easy to attract unnecessary attention and get scolded.

Fortunately, the major film companies will be able to profit from this, and the risk of being held back by them is relatively low.

Once this is done.

It seems like just adding an inconspicuous profit channel, but according to the valuation formula of Internet companies, it may increase the market value of Netflix Entertainment by hundreds of millions of dollars, and it will also be very beneficial to the movie company it plans to establish. It lost money at the offline box office, but there is still a chance to make a comeback online.

after the plane landed.

After returning home by car, Suri took a quick shower and fell asleep.

Daddario was more unlucky. While she was shopping in New York, she was actually seen by her neighbor, and the news spread to her father's ears.

It’s hard to raise a daughter, but when she returns to New York, she doesn’t say hello to her family. Her father will inevitably be angry and ask what’s going on.
