Heads Up Hollywood

At present, Hollywood is promoting digital photography, and major directors including Tang En, George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Roland Emmerich, Spielberg, Cameron, etc. are all promoters of this trend.

And the camera they rely on is Sony's F900 digital camera.

The resolution is only 1920X1080 pixels, which is less than 2K.

The selling price is as high as $100,000!

The cost price of this camera is estimated to not exceed $5,000.

This is a monopoly market.

The price is second to none. The key point is that many practices of this old monopoly are very indignant.

For example, Sony, the video format shot by Sony's camera must be converted in the later stage, otherwise it cannot be played on any device except Sony TV. This undoubtedly adds a lot of inconvenience to the operation.

If the product is updated and the interface model changes, photographers will have to buy all the lenses again and be exploited again. Even the TV had to be replaced.

It can be said that many of Sony's actions are no longer just competition between countries, but have seriously violated the interests of consumers.

Even Hollywood has been looking forward to a digital video camera with image quality comparable to Sony.

Exactly, this person is Jim Jannard!

His legendary life experience and his innovative ability are even better than Apple's Jobs!

Elon Musk praised that he is doing something more magnificent than his aerospace engineering, really not a joke.

In 2007, Jim Jannard launched Red_one, the world's first 4K uncompressed digital movie camera. The product design is so cool that it seems to come from outer space, and the price is only 17,500 US dollars. In the next year, Sony launched a 4K video camera, which still sold for as much as $150,000.

It can be said that Jim Jannard used Jobs-like craftsmanship standards and Elon Musk-like cost control to finally break out a living path to survival in the field of digital cameras monopolized by Sony.

Many big Hollywood directors have also started to embrace Red_one.

Tang En's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at this unattractive bald man again, and his heart shook.

Sure enough, people can't be judged by their appearance.

Who would have imagined that the guy standing in front of him is the Jobs of the high-end luxury market!

Jobs launched the touch-screen iPhone, which smashed the push-button mobile phone market in one fell swoop and ushered in a new era of the mobile phone industry.

However, after his death, innovation in the mobile phone market has stagnated. The so-called 5G and flexible screens are all small things, and have not changed the industrial structure. They are still touch phones in essence.

To really break the monopoly of the iPhone, it is necessary to launch a new way of using mobile phones, and raise the touch-screen mobile phone to another dimension!

Holographic projection screen mobile phone!

This is what Jim Jannard later led the Red Company to pursue.

Not to mention whether it can be successful or not, this is a Jobs-type idea, a great idea.

Dunn likes to associate with excellent people.

Jobs is his best friend, and Elon Musk is a close friend.

There is no doubt that the Jim Jannard in front of him is also the same kind of person.

"To be honest, Sony... I have long since disliked it." Tang En lowered his voice and said sincerely.

Jim Jannard looked happy, "So...you will support my cause?"

Tang En said: "I hope that Hollywood's photographic equipment can be more diversified, instead of being influenced by Sony, a Japanese company. But, Jim, do you really think that you can break Sony's monopoly by yourself?"

"As long as I can receive orders from Hollywood, I have confidence!" Jim Jannard's fighting spirit seems to be no worse than Elon Musk.

Hollywood is the industry benchmark.

If even Hollywood will use the new Red_one camera, then photography enthusiasts all over the world will definitely pursue this digital camera.

At that time, Red Company will become famous in one fell swoop!

Tang En shook his head and said, "No, what I mean is... After all, Red Company is just a rookie in the industry. Does it have enough R\u0026D channels, technical talents and financial support?"

Jim Jannard said: "Although I am not from the electronics or IT industry, I am a professional photography enthusiast. I have collected nearly a thousand cameras of different brands in the past century. I can confidently say that every camera, as long as Give me enough equipment and accessories, and I can assemble it from scratch."

Well, he is still a technical master.

"What about the funds? You have to know that camera equipment is a luxury industry, and the required investment and corresponding promotional funds will be astronomical."

Tang En's heart is that if you want to lead Red Company to attack Sony's industry leader status, without sufficient capital support, it will not work at all.

Just obediently throw yourself into my arms and let New Global bless you!

New Universal has two core hardware companies, Dolby Laboratories and IMAX.

If the red company can rely on New Universal, then as long as the red company shows results, Tang En will dare to support Jim Jannard, promote him to the position of vice president of the group, and let him be in charge of all hardware businesses under New Global.

Focus on training.

He will be the new leader of New Universal in the holographic projection era in the future!

Jim Jannard paused, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Walker, in terms of funds... I have no difficulty, all I need is the support of Hollywood."

"Um?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment.

No problem with funds?

Do you know how much it costs to develop a camera and the ensuing PR battle and production line?

At this time, Elon Musk coughed lightly, and explained: "Twain, besides the Red company, Jim also owns another company, Oakley sunglasses, do you know?"

Oakley sunglasses?

As a sunglasses lover, Tang En certainly knew it!

These are the coolest sunglasses ever.

Although the sales volume is far inferior to Ray-Ban, the industry leader, the quality, appearance, coolness and charm are all ahead by a large margin. It is a must-have sports equipment for every outdoor enthusiast.

Huh?

Could it be...

Elon Musk said: "Yes, Jim is the founder of Oakley."

Tang En was speechless immediately, and after a while he asked, "Your own company?"

Jim Jannard said: "In the beginning, I started my own business. Later, in order to form brand influence, I brought in Michael Jordan and gave up some shares."

"Michael Jordan?"

Tang En was stunned for a moment.

Jim Jannard smiled and said, "That's right, that's the big guy who plays basketball. After all, at the beginning of the business, Oakley sunglasses were mainly aimed at the sports market."

Well, so it looks like this Jim Jannard is probably worth over $1 billion!

It is not easy to win him over.
