Chapter 279 Emma is here
Because the source of the film was leaked in advance, "The Vampire Diaries" had an extra episode.

The quality of this drama is quite good.

With the release of the fourth episode for free, the plot is at its peak, attracting 166 million new paying members in just five days.

If calculated using a formula, the customer acquisition cost per paying user is only about US$1.7, which is enough to shock the jaws of other Internet company entrepreneurs and make Mark Zuckerberg and Google’s Larry Page envious. Tears streaming down my face.

Each paying user can bring at least US$10 in revenue to Netflix Entertainment on average, and the current renewal rate is particularly high.

However, because it is a new company and there are uncertainties, relatively few users choose to pay directly on an annual basis, accounting for only about 3.8% of the total number of paying users.

It takes a while for word-of-mouth to accumulate. Judging from the current performance, it has far exceeded people's expectations.

all in all.

A "The Walking Dead", paired with "The Vampire Diaries", which will air its fifth episode tonight, has made Netflix Entertainment a hit and helped Suri make a lot of money.

If people hadn't adapted to watching dramas on the Internet, the data should be better than it is now. The parent company has recently been busy setting up a new team to develop Netflix smart TVs and TV boxes, which once again increased the market's interest in Netflix entertainment. confidence.

This subsidiary has not yet been listed on the market, but the dividends brought by the increase in valuation have been reflected in the parent company's stock price in advance. The total market value of Netflix's parent company has exceeded the US$36 billion mark.

Compared with last year when Su Rui first learned about it, it has increased by about 200%, becoming an absolute dark horse on the Nasdaq exchange.

With new business as support, even if Netflix’s parent company’s disc rental business has performed poorly this year, it has not affected its stock price from soaring.

This was an unexpected surprise, but it made many retail investors extremely happy.

Goldman Sachs, Blackstone and other institutions are also very optimistic about its prospects.

Recently, there was news that the Norwegian sovereign fund wanted to increase its holdings of Netflix shares at a premium of 12%, but Texas Pacific Group rejected this sincere deal.

Suri's father invested a total of 6800 million US dollars in it one after another, and made hundreds of millions of US dollars in just a few months, so he laughed from ear to ear.

With this achievement in hand, both within Netflix Entertainment and the shareholders of Netflix's parent company are now convinced of Suri, and almost no one thinks that this is the credit of CEO Terenz.

He has the final say on how much money the content production department will cost, how many projects will be established, etc. After making the decision, he can just ask someone to tell the board of directors.

After all, even Hastings, the founder of the parent company, is a dispensable role in the eyes of shareholders. However, in the self-produced drama department that Suri is responsible for, no one dares to say that he can make a hit movie like him. One...

October 4th.

Daddario was still filming on the set, and Hoshino Yuko didn't have time to come over to play with him.

Suri asked her servant to make a few dishes to go with the wine, then went to her private theater, lay down on the lazy massage sofa, and prepared to drink some beer and watch a show.

In the past, watching dramas seemed like a waste of life. Since I became the boss of a film and television company, I can find a suitable reason for being lazy. It is called "finding inspiration."

I just opened the can of craft beer and haven’t even had a chance to take a sip.

The old housekeeper came suddenly and reported:
"Miss Emma Watson is here. She gave you a small cake made by herself...it's in the shape of a red heart."

"???" Su Rui said speechlessly:
"Maybe she used a cake mold. People chasing her can line up from Hollywood to Canada, hand in hand. She should know that I have a girlfriend. You are thinking too much."

The old housekeeper smiled and said nothing.

An 18-year-old young girl ran to a man's house to deliver a heart-shaped cake at around seven o'clock in the evening.

I can't say that there is definitely a problem here, but it probably means that Emma Watson has a good impression of Suri.

Although I think Daddario and Hoshino Yuko are both pretty good, if the old housekeeper were to choose, as a British person, of course he would be more optimistic about Emma Watson, who is also British, and both of them belong to the same category. A big star who is very popular around the world seems to be a good match.

Of course.

These are just the old housekeeper’s own opinions. Su Rui thinks that the girl’s character is a bit strong. Like many child stars who became famous at a young age, she seems to have a good character, but in fact she is full of arrogance. Mainly because she has had everything going smoothly since she was a child and has never suffered any hardships. .

On the other hand, Daddario and the others knew when to give in. They had been with Suri for half a year, and they had never really had a quarrel.

If you invite a giant Buddha home, you will probably be tightly controlled in the future. Thinking about that kind of life makes Su Rui feel depressed. This is probably the reason why he did not provoke first- and second-tier famous actresses.

Even though you are here, it would be rude not to entertain you personally.

After putting down the beer, Suri stood up in slippers and followed the old housekeeper to his living room.

Emma Watson walked in for the first time and was admiring the painting hanging on the wall. After seeing Suri, she pointed at the painting and smiled:
"I like these paintings. It's like walking into a secret forest. I'm sorry to bother you tonight. I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I made some small cakes by myself. They are mainly red velvet and chocolate flavors. I hope you like it. .”

Suri smiled brightly and replied:

"I like desserts, thank you very much. These paintings are all works by the Russian painter Shishkin. In addition, I also collected several landscape paintings by Isaac Levitan. Like Ivan Shishkin, They are all good at creating this type of oil paintings. Although the price is not that high, they are worth collecting."

The conversation atmosphere is similar to that of the British. It's like looking for something to talk about when you have nothing to say.

Emma Watson did not delve into the idea of ​​oil painting. She said in a British accent:

"I'm not disturbing you, right? I'm out of work recently, and I don't have to go to school anymore. I have to rest until school starts in September. Plus I don't have many friends. I'm very bored all day long. I'm already thinking about moving to Beverly Hills. , is it a good idea?”

"It doesn't matter where you live. You should make more friends. I'm just going to watch a movie and drink some beer. If you have time, Miss Watson, you can come with me."

After listening to Suri, Emma Watson said:
"That's great. What are you going to watch? Episode 5 of "The Vampire Diaries"? I'm also following this show. I just want to meet some new friends, so I came to you. Hollywood is your home court."

"...Watching "Harry Potter"? Relive the wonderful performances when you were at what age?"

"..."

Emma Watson almost choked and said quickly:

"That's not necessary. Although I like this character and myself as a child, watching too much of it will really make you sick to your stomach."

Suri motioned for her to follow him and said with a smile:
"Have you watched "The Walking Dead"? Watch it on a big screen to make it more exciting, or you can choose a movie. I haven't started showing it yet..."
