Hollywood Hunter

In the week starting on April 4, the Westeros system initiated three huge claims against Hearst Group on Monday, and Daenerys Entertainment Group formally submitted an IPO application on Wednesday. The two heavyweight news incidents have not yet become popular. With the slightest cooling off, on Friday, April 8, the Westeros system once again produced explosive news.

Eaglet suddenly announced that its most popular Internet basic tool software IE browser is officially open to the public for free.

At a press conference on Friday morning, Igreat CEO Tim Berners Lee said that the company's move is to further promote the openness of the World Wide Web platform. For users, from now on, IE users worldwide will no longer have to be unable to update and use the latest version of the browser software due to charges. For enterprises, the latest technological achievements emerging in the Internet industry will also be able to rely on the IE software platform to be promoted to users as soon as possible.

In the Q&A session of the reporter, faced with a bitter question from some media people about whether the free IE browser was in response to the possible antitrust investigation of Igreat, Tim Berners-Lee firmly denied it, and once again Listed the various measures taken by Eaglet to continuously promote the openness of the World Wide Web platform in the past few years, and finally did not forget to accuse the recent improper lawsuits against a number of technology companies in the Westeros system as completely unruly media and grandstanding politicians. To fuel the flames in malice.

Reminiscent of the recent conflict between the Westeros system and the Hearst Group, Tim Berners-Lee’s goal is self-evident.

The reporters at the scene immediately realized that the Westeros system should have been subjected to a "litigation bombing" during this period, but the plaintiffs who filed suits against the Westeros technology companies were obviously ineffective, and they were able to get behind the scenes. It is only some public opinion support, far inferior to the tens of millions of dollars in real money that Simon Westero directly smashed in the three lawsuits initiated on Monday.

In the face of such a behemoth as the Westeros system, not to mention that the litigation itself has very little chance of winning. Even if some of them can barely win, they will not cause substantial harm to the Westeros system.

At this stage, if you want to counterbalance the rapid expansion of the Westeros system, only the federal government authorities can act in person.

It's just that the White House, which is rumored to have an ambiguous relationship with the Westeros system, has no intention to act. The two houses of Congress do not lack relevant appeals, but it is a pity that it is not easy for the Senate and House of Representatives, which are lined with factions, to reach agreement. Moreover, the majority of seats in the two houses are currently controlled by the Democratic Party, and the Westeros system is already known as the Democratic Party. The biggest gold master.

Igreat suddenly gave up hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue to promote the announcement of IE free. The specific strategic intention is to promote the opening of the Internet, some for the benefit of the enterprise, and some for the potential antitrust threat, probably only Several core executives of Eaglet know.

Of course, a certain young man must be added.

It is rare for Eaglet executives to communicate directly with the media, and ended the question about the free intention of IE browser. The reporters on the scene also did not forget to mention the recently more popular "Happy Farm".

Although the Eaglet portal did not announce the number of players in the week following the launch of "Happy Farm" in the first time, the magical media still got the relevant data.

After rapidly accumulating 6.97 million players in the first week, in the second week of its launch, the number of players in "Happy Farm" reached a new high, reaching 8.29 million under the hot topic. In two weeks, the total number of players in this phenomenon-level online social game has reached 15.26 million.

In terms of revenue, compared with the $2.61 million in the first week, the number of overseas players who have not yet developed a complete payment channel has increased significantly. The next week of "Happy Farm" has an income of $4.37 million. The 67% revenue growth in a single week may be far less than the 118% increase in players during the same period, but revenue of this scale is still far beyond the initial expectations of the operation team.

In fact, some people within Eaglet have proposed to postpone the launch of this game in overseas markets, so that in the future, the online payment tools in overseas markets will be further popularized to obtain more benefits.

The proposal was rejected by Bezos before it reached Simon.

Simon learned of the dispute and personally sent an email to the management of Igreat, expressing his support for Bezos' decision.

First of all, the difficulty of developing "Happy Farm" is very low, just like when a Chinese studio launched this game in 2008, the American counterpart launched an equally successful copycat version the following year.

Delaying the overseas release of "Happy Farm" is likely to be the same.

Moreover, if it's just a game, it doesn't matter. Once the overseas market is preempted, the result is likely to be that other Internet companies rely on this game to take advantage of the momentum. This is what Simon least wants to see.

Eaglet’s goal of developing Facebook from the very beginning was to create a huge social network connecting the world.

In the past, such efforts could only be achieved through celebrity effects as much as possible.

Now, the phenomenal "Happy Farm" has truly enabled thousands of players in different languages, nationalities and skin colors around the world to become one in a virtual social game.

Within half a month of its launch, due to this game, the total number of Facebook users worldwide increased from 49 million to 53 million in the first week, and directly rushed from 53 million to 61 million in the second week. The total number of users soared in two weeks. Of the 12 million, about 5 million are from overseas. Before that, out of the 49 million user base of Facebook, the total number of overseas users was only 13 million.

Just relying on the powerful stimulus effect of "Happy Farm" on the growth of Facebook's user base, even if this game does not make a penny, it is completely worthwhile for Eaglet.

The industry can see that there are not many key peers and media, and these people are more concerned about whether Yigrete will continue to open its platform to other game manufacturers.

After Simon personally made the decision last Friday, Igreat’s management has been discussing and drafting relevant terms for the past week.

At this free IE press conference, Tim Berners Lee also officially gave a positive return to the press.

Eaglet will continue to maintain an attitude of external cooperation. Not only will it not close its own platform to external game manufacturers, but even in order to focus on its core business, it will not even form a directly affiliated game development team, and will only introduce it from external manufacturers in the future Game content.

Even if Tim Berners-Lee subsequently added that the Eaglet Venture Capital Department will set up a special fund dedicated to investing in online game production with a total scale of about 100 million US dollars, this response still surprised many people.

Eaglet does not directly get involved in game production, but purchases content entirely externally, which is tantamount to surrendering most of the profits of the huge online game market.

Is this the manifestation of God, or is it the presence of angels on earth?

IE free has benefited hundreds of millions of ordinary Internet users. The extremely open game cooperation strategy will bring huge practical benefits to many game developers around the world.

The news spread quickly from the headquarters of Eaglet in San Francisco to the world. On that day, most video game manufacturers in North America, Europe and Asia held a special high-level meeting for this purpose. Some companies couldn’t wait to meet with Eaglet. Special management contacted to discuss the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.

The same day.

In Hollywood, various long-rumored "Jurassic Park 2" projects were officially announced.

Steven Spielberg's complete withdrawal has been expected

It is like the sudden emergence of new director Michael Bay that has attracted intense media attention. After investigation, it was discovered that the filmmaker was only a MV director before and the only film has not yet been released.

For a super blockbuster series that is almost at the global box office level of 1 billion US dollars, Daenerys Entertainment has even launched a newcomer with almost no film production experience, even if Simon Westero has proven in many big-selling film projects Thanks to its excellent use of human vision, this bold move still caused many media concerns and doubts.

Because Daenerys Entertainment was very tight-lipped about this matter and couldn't hear the inside story, everyone could only turn their attention to Michael Bay’s upcoming film debut "Stargate" on May 13.

Relying on the Internet platform, especially Facebook, which has been propelled by a large number of self-media people, in just a few hours, traditional newspapers still had no time to report on the news. Regarding the new director of "Jurassic Park 2" Michael Bay and "Starcraft" The news of "Gate" became a hot topic on social networks.

Michael Bay’s personal information was dug out within a day.

The public discovered that this talented MV director has not only won a number of top MV-related awards, but also the director of the first "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show". Even if the Victoria's Secret Talent has been held for two sessions, the first Victoria's Secret Talent Video that has become a must-have collection for many men is also a classic.

As for "Stargate", the background of this film is also not small.

The screenplay is from Roland Emmerich, the director of the Superman series in the DC Cinematic Universe, and the other party personally served as the producer. Emmerich's "Superman" not only succeeded at the box office, it also stood out from the three core directors of the DC series and was announced as the director of the important crossover episode of the DC movie universe "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".

The script of the filmmaker obviously has a strong quality guarantee.

Although the media and the public still have widespread doubts about Michael Bay’s "Jurassic Park 2", but in just one day, the "Stargate" scheduled for May 13 almost earned tens of millions of dollars. Propaganda effects are not necessarily achieved.

Even many Hollywood colleagues have to admire Daenerys Entertainment's wonderful marketing operation.

Of course, there are many waiting to see the excitement.

In the unlikely event that the quality of the "Stargate" movie does not meet the audience's expectations, or even fails at the box office, it is conceivable that it will definitely impact the fans' expectations for "Jurassic Park 2". Daenerys Entertainment wants to remedy it by then. The director can only be replaced.

However, according to the official launch schedule of "Jurassic Park 2", it is not easy to change the director in a short time, unless Simon Westero, who has not picked up the guide tube in recent years, comes out in person.

It is still this day.

In the second week of the Easter schedule, Daenerys Entertainment quietly released another new film, the comedy "The Detective Plane" starring Kim Carey.

Compared with the total investment of 60 million US dollars in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3" last week, the production budget of "Detective Plane Head" is only 15 million US dollars. Although the offensive is not small, it only invested 10 million US dollars, and the film has 1,837 screens. The scale of opening paintings is also far less than the 2,763 opening screens of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3.

Moreover, compared to "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3", which is considered a pass with a comprehensive media rating of 6.3, critics who have always had no liking for prank comedies only gave Kim Carey a 5.1 point rating for this new film.

The mid-to-low-cost production scale, unsatisfactory reputation, and the timing of the Easter tail, all these elements seem to mean that "Detective Plane" will be a tepid box office dud.

Since Simon took the opportunity to confess something to Janet after Easter, he has recently faced a very serious domestic violence situation.

Simon actually understood that Janet did not resist or anger a certain fact at all. Instead, she showed a strange sense of excitement. It was probably a special emotion of "You will never be able to get rid of the relationship with me again", but on the surface Of course, you must be very proud and constantly condemn Simon as a bastard, rascal, pervert, liar, big liar, and even suddenly hold up a red face when he is in love and accuse Simon as'CF'.

This is too much.

So it was miserable.

Simon is even worse.

Just like Janet, who suddenly entered the brux phase, would leave tooth marks on his shoulders, chest, arms, neck and even cheeks almost every day, so that even the female assistants suffered along with them. Fortunately, the woman did not swear at the children. Meaning, otherwise Simon would have to use family law.

Facing Janet, who was in a little manic state, Veronica went directly to Europe under the name of a business trip.

After several days of this, Simon finally decided to "run away from home" as a protest, and flew to New York on Friday, April 8.

Ok.

In fact, the main thing is business.

As the TV promotion season approaches in May, the Daenerys TV department on the East Coast needs Simon to interrogate many matters.

After receiving the "Friends" project from ICM before, Daenerys TV recently negotiated a TV drama project with Michael Clayton, the original novel author of "Jurassic Park", called "Emergency Room Story" .

Medical drama is a big category in the field of American TV dramas, but "Story of the Emergency Room" can be said to be a pinnacle of American medical dramas, so much so that after the new century, many popular medical dramas such as "Grey the Intern" All obviously carry the shadow of "Emergency Room Story", not only that, because of the role of Dr. Chen played by Wen Mingna in the drama, this American drama also unexpectedly made the image of Asian doctors deeply rooted in the United States, and many Asians are even here. After the American TV series, I chose the medical profession.

In addition to the popular reality show, Daenerys TV has launched a popular combination of "Sein Fei's True Story" and "Desperate Housewives", a comedy and a real drama. Now, as long as "Friends" and "Emergency Room Story" can achieve the same success as the original time and space, Daenerys will have two more trump cards in the field of TV dramas.

The American television industry produces hundreds of TV series every year, not much less than Hollywood movies.

Therefore, phenomenon-level popular TV dramas are absolutely unattainable. The four trump cards that Daenerys Entertainment has mastered, not only represent a billion-dollar level of potential benefits, but also further increase Daenerys Silk Entertainment is a bargaining chip for continued expansion into the TV field.
