Hollywood Hunter - Chapter 1700: : Embrace the Internet

Los Angeles.

Daenerys Studios in Malibu.

Before eight o’clock in the morning, Amy Pascal had arrived at the company. The ‘Embrace the Internet’ press conference at 10 o’clock this morning is related to whether Daenerys Entertainment can successfully achieve the trillion-dollar market value before the burst of the Internet bubble, so she can’t help but ignore it.

I personally checked the layout of the press conference at the staff activity center on the second floor of the studio, made some temporary adjustments, and started styling again. In front of the dressing table, people were holding the manuscript while rehearsing the next speeches.

It was like this until nine o’clock, when the preparations were completed, and there were many guests who were specially invited to entertain today.

In addition to their own management, Igret CEO Jeff Bezos, Tincobel CEO Neil Brantley, and many other business executives, political and business celebrities inside and outside the Westeros system, etc. , were invited to Los Angeles to attend the conference.

After more than an hour of continuous rotation, less than ten minutes before the launch, the lobby of the event center was full of guests, and Amy was finally able to return to the lounge in the backstage, taking a short sigh of relief.

Then I saw a small executive with a small child in his arms, chatting leisurely with Robert Iger, who came from the East Coast on purpose yesterday.

Feeling a little thirsty, I still resisted the urge to drink water, mainly because I was worried about destroying the makeup artist’s well-made lip makeup. Greeting a few people in the lounge, Amy came to sit next to Nancy Brill, stretched out her hand and squeezed it. The little boy’s face that looked very beautiful because his parents’ genes were good enough, he was dissatisfied: “I’m so busy that I’m flying, but you brought the child here, Nancy, you won’t even speak about today’s product introduction. Are you not ready?”

“Of course I’m ready,” Nancy felt that her son was about to grab Amy’s brooch and let him lean over. Seeing that Amy had no choice but to dodge, she pulled her son back and said with a smile, “Everyone understands this release. For what, Amy, you don’t have to be so nervous.”

In the final analysis, this is a show that uses the concept of the Internet to push Daenerys to hit the trillion-dollar market value. Whether the goal can be achieved or not will be known in the next week.

And, if it doesn’t happen, it’s really nothing.

After all, no one can deny the dominance of Daenerys Entertainment in the US and even the global entertainment industry.

Of course, that’s just Nancy’s idea.

As the nominal head of Daenerys Entertainment, Amy Pascal is very much looking forward to adding another dazzling medal to her career. She is not short of money now, and people who are not short of money often pursue fame .

After all, there must always be some pursuit, right?

Thinking like this, Amy saw that a certain little guy was still looking at him, so she simply took off the platinum brooch inlaid with rubies and handed it to the little guy in Nancy’s arms, while saying: “Nancy, you used to be very hardworking. , it seems that Alex has successfully trapped you.”

The smart little guy who also inherited his parents’ brains is more than a year old and knows what he can eat and what he can’t. Nancy is still careful to watch over his son to prevent him from putting the brooch in his mouth. Listening to Amy’s ridicule, she is not ashamed. With a little satisfaction. But he wouldn’t admit it, and looked at his son warmly: “It’s so naughty, I want to throw him away many times.”

“Compared to the one at my house, Alex is already very good,” Amy competed without a trace, and found that it was no match. She couldn’t help shaking the little guy’s arm, and said ‘provocation’: ” Alex, what if your mother doesn’t want you?”

The little guy was spreading out the palm of his mother’s outstretched hand and using the expensive brooch to draw something on Nancy’s palm. Hearing this, he looked up, blinked his eyes, and answered in a clear and logical manner: “I’m going to Cape Dumay.”

When it’s too busy, or on a business trip, Nancy will send the little guy to Dumay Point Manor.

When Amy heard this answer, she couldn’t hold back and laughed.

A few people next to Robert Iger couldn’t help but smile.

Of course, everyone knows the identity of the little guy in front of him, but the little boy in front of him, who is only a year old, responds to Amy’s question with such a clear mind, and the key is an answer that everyone will definitely not mention under normal circumstances. .

Nancy was depressed, she opened her mouth and took a bite on her son’s face, pretending to be angry, “I’ll take you to Du Meijia Manor later, and you’ll never see my mother again.”

The little boy who had a clear mind just now seemed to have not heard of it this time, as if he knew that his mother was just bluffing, and lowered his head to play with the expensive brooch again, looking quite calm.

This made everyone chuckle again.

Comparing her own children, Amy has to admit that she is a little envious of her boss’s son’s kind of wisdom that seems to be revealed in his genes, but, think about a little girl named Seattle Westeros, um, in front of him Little guy, it’s actually quite normal.

After chatting a few more words, the staff stepped forward to remind Amy that Amy had to get up, and also reminded Nancy that if she got stuck on stage later, she would decisively deduct the bonus.

It’s exactly ten o’clock.

Daenerys Entertainment’s 2000 Autumn Corporate Development Strategy Conference officially started.

After the opening speech, Amy Pascal first reviewed the achievements of Daenerys Entertainment in the Internet industry in the past few years, and then, it was a well-prepared pie.

The plan is three years and an estimated investment of $15 billion.

The content covers membership system, online games, film and television rental and other aspects, most of which are the follow-up expansion plans of Daenerys Entertainment’s existing business.

such as membership services.

Prior to this, Daenerys Entertainment’s membership services were mainly limited to North America, but after this time, at least in the plan on the surface, Daenerys Entertainment will carry out global membership business promotion.

The ultimate goal is that in any corner of the world, as long as you have a membership of Daenerys Entertainment, you can enjoy a large number of various services of Daenerys Entertainment. Moreover, no matter what member you get in any corner of the world, it can be used globally.

Obviously, to achieve this, the cooperation of the Internet platform is essential.

Then there is the game business that Daenerys Entertainment has focused on growing in recent years. This time, the emphasis is on online games.

Simon also made some points in it, giving a famous concept of ‘metaverse’ in memory, and the team of Daenerys Entertainment decomposed it into a future where people will have two lives, one online and one. Plant offline.

Online games are an important carrier of this double-sided life.

Daenerys Entertainment also plans to continuously open up the channel between reality and fantasy through linkage, such as people’s virtual assets, in order to realize reality, and so on.

Then, there are video rentals.

This is very simple, Blockbuster will further increase the proportion of online business, and the ultimate goal is to fully realize digitalization.

In addition to the existing business, there are of course some new projects.

For example, the cloud rendering service that Daenerys special effects will soon open.

In fact, this has been a project that Daenerys Entertainment has been developing privately for a long time. It plans to connect the company’s rendering farms around the world through the network, and in addition to its own use, it will also contribute to film and television special effects, animation production and game design. Enterprises in related fields are open.

When the project is launched, no matter where a company is in the world, as long as it can connect to the Internet, it can complete the rendering of video images and other content at a relatively low price, without having to invest huge amounts of money to build a rendering server by itself.

This is actually a type of cloud computing service.

After a private discussion, Simon was hesitant to let Daenerys Entertainment be in charge of this service, and felt that it would be better to transfer it to Igret. However, in the end, he complied with the attitude of his own executives.

After all, this service can be used directly by Daenerys Entertainment’s film, animation and game businesses, and the demand is very large. It is inconvenient to transfer it to Igret, even if it is his own company.

The downside is that Daenerys Entertainment doesn’t have Igret’s maturing global operations team, as well as the broad platform and direct potential customer base.

The obvious fact is that Igrit’s user base has completely surpassed Daenerys’ online business by several orders of magnitude.

In any case, this part of the business has nothing to do with the overall situation, and Simon did not force it.

In addition to these own businesses, Daenerys Entertainment will also allocate $3 billion in the planned budget of $15 billion to invest in Internet start-ups related to its own entertainment business.

Venture capital, this is actually what Daenerys has been doing silently. For example, in recent years, she has invested in a lot of movie and game information websites as online marketing assistance for her own related products.

This time it was just a hype.

All in all, during the one-and-a-half-hour press conference, Daenerys executives took turns on stage, and the flash of media off the stage continued, which was very lively.

At the end of the press conference, a large number of pre-arranged manuscripts flooded the online platform at the first time, and the topic popularity occupied the top of the mainstream online portals in a short period of time, and then major TV stations, the evening news of the day, etc. followed up quickly. flowering.

This is also a tacit understanding that does not require too much contact in all aspects.

The Nasdaq won’t last long, and anyone with some sense knows this. Therefore, many people are actually slowly exiting. It just so happens that this booster from Daenerys Entertainment can finally attract a batch of leeks to come in and take over, making it easier for everyone to escape.

Of course, no one will think that they are actually the leek.

As for Daenerys Entertainment’s attempt to hit the trillion-dollar market value, many people are also clear, and even some funds have made up their minds to help.

After all, compared to other speculative IT stocks with a price-earnings ratio of hundreds to thousands of times, Daenerys Entertainment is still quite worthwhile. Moreover, another trillion-dollar company with market value can also be used for off-market leeks. to attraction.

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, as the new week approaches, and major mainstream newspapers and morning news programs take turns to report Daenerys Entertainment’s “Embrace the Internet” launch, countless people inside and outside Wall Street are already ready to move.
