Top of the big era

Zhou Buqi conducted a wave of research and gained a relatively clear understanding of old films, film, resolution, DVD, conversion, streaming media and many other aspects.

I also understood what Shen Xiangyang meant.

This matter must be done through artificial intelligence technology!

Ziweixing Global now has the largest film and television library in the world, with 8,000 movies of all kinds. If the staff were required to repair each movie frame by frame, it would take years and months to complete.

The best way is to use artificial intelligence to perform batch repairs, and then let the staff only make some fine-tuning of details.

If Ziweixing Global doesn't do this, I'm afraid no one will.

Netflix is ​​positioned as a technology company, and they can actually research related artificial intelligence technologies. But the problem is that it is difficult for Netflix to obtain too many copyrights from Hollywood. The future of Netflix is ​​self-produced dramas.

With the current level of digital cameras, new films will be shot in 4K, and there is no need to convert them at all.

These Hollywood film companies don’t even think about it.

Even more than ten years later, when watching some streaming movies on the Internet, many old movies from the 1980s and 1990s are only available in 720P, which is the DVD version transferred by the distribution company back then, without any digital restoration or definition upgrade.

Hollywood's understanding of streaming media is still weak, and its own technological strength is also poor. They really don't have enough strength to digitally upgrade the definition of every movie. They can only compare the attention of some classics. Gao’s movies have been restored, such as blockbusters such as "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic".

It can be seen that this is a market with great potential.

If Ziweixing Global cooperates with Ziweixing to jointly establish an artificial intelligence research center to develop digital restoration application technology, as long as this is done, not only can some of Ziweixing Global’s old films be digitally restored and Resolution upgrading can also be used for commercialization to help other film and television companies process old films for a fee.

Hollywood is only in America.

But every country in the world has its own history of the development of movies and TV series, and old movies from every country will encounter such problems.

They all have such needs.

Purple Star Global can use technology patents to make money.

This is definitely a market with opportunities to explore!

Zhou Buqi and Shen Xiangyang have already formed a tacit understanding after working together for so many years.

After such research, I immediately understood what each meant.

Zhou Buqi didn't say a word, he just nodded and glanced at Shen Xiangyang, and the message was conveyed. More detailed technical aspects will be handled by Shen Xiangyang, and Zhou Buqi will not participate. He goes directly to the office of Netflix CEO.

Next, it’s time to talk about some business cooperation.

Boss Zhou is very sincere!

He even went so far as to invest in the extremely risky American TV series "Game of Thrones" despite rumors in the industry that he was a "fool," "a layman," and "foolish people have too much money." He also made significant concessions on copyright, investing 40% and only Received a 25% dividend from streaming media rights and DVD sales profits.

This streaming media copyright is for Netflix!

However, it is not easy for Netflix to obtain the streaming rights to "Game of Thrones" and most of Ziweixing Universal's film and television content.

With Netflix's current strength, they can't afford it even if they pay for it.

If you can't afford it, you can only exchange it for equity.

Zhou Buqi is now the largest shareholder of Netflix. He has purchased large quantities of shares several times and holds 28.54 million shares, accounting for 47.58% of Netflix’s total share capital!

However, having too many shares is useless.

Netflix is ​​an AB share. Founder Hargentins personally holds less than 3% of Netflix shares, but he firmly controls Netflix.

Zhou Buqi could only negotiate with him.

Fortunately, Boss Zhou is now well-known and has a strong voice. His kindness in supporting Netflix is ​​also noticed by Netflix’s entrepreneurial team.

Both parties want Netflix to do well, and of course the closer the cooperation, the better.

So communication is smooth.

The streaming rights to Game of Thrones, in particular, excite Netflix executives. This is a new movie, and it’s HBO’s biggest epic fantasy masterpiece!

Whether this American drama can be successful or not is secondary.

As long as news is released that Netflix will introduce HBO's blockbuster masterpieces, the capital market will take notice, and Netflix's stock price will rise slowly.

As the stock price rises and goodwill increases, Netflix can obtain more loans... Under Zhou Buqi's suggestion, Netflix's board of directors has approved the strategic plan for self-made dramas.

It is expected that in the third quarter of this year, the first self-made drama will be approved!

The concept of "online drama" will also be born from this.

Now Netflix's market value has reached US$3.4 billion, and the two parties have also agreed that Ziweixing Global will make a strategic investment in Netflix and is expected to hold 25% of Netflix's shares.

…

Zhou Buqi went to the airport to see his family off the plane.

The whole family has left, leaving only senior sister Zhen Yu and secretary Sun Wanran to help him deal with the remaining work at hand.

Everyone else has returned home to prepare for the New Year.

The plane had already left, and the private yacht was parked in Hawaii. After her winter vacation, her sister Zhou Nan went to Hawaii for vacation with Jiang Bingjie and Dilireya, and drove the big yacht there early.

This means that Zhou Buqi can only stay in the Bay Area these days. After leaving the airport, he went to the Google headquarters in San Jose.

This is the place with the lowest crime rate and the highest safety factor in the United States.

Even so, Zhou Buqi still maintains the habit of traveling in two cars.

He rode in one car and was accompanied by security guards in another car.

On the way, Sun Wanran elbowed Zhou Buqi, "Hey, are you bullying Mu'er?"

"Feng Mu'er?" Zhou Buqi was puzzled, "What did I bully?"

Sun Wanran said: "She seems to be unhappy recently."

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes, I know."

"What's wrong?"

"It's hard to decide!"

"What decision?"

"She wants to withdraw!"

"Evacuate?" Sun Wanran was stunned for a moment, "Evacuate to where?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Where can I withdraw? She doesn't want to be my secretary anymore and wants to live a stable life."

Sun Wanran was surprised, "Really? Is she so ambitious?"

Zhou Buqi snorted, "What kind of ambition is this? I think she has long hair but short knowledge. She doesn't even understand why she would rather be a hero's concubine than a mediocre wife. I have been traveling around with me for several years, and my vision and layout are still the same as those of a small town." She comes out like a little girl and hasn’t grown.”

"What happened to the small town?" Sun Wanran wrinkled her nose and snorted, "You came from the countryside! Who are you looking down on!"

Zhou Buqi said with emotion: "This Mu'er is still too petty, what's wrong with following me? She's also a secretary, look at Ning Lu, she's one year younger than her, she also came from a small place, her style is so grand ? This gap in the level of thinking determines the gap in the level of life."

Sun Wanran slapped his forehead and said, "Okay, please stop pouring me the ecstasy soup."

Zhen Yu, who was sitting on the left hand side of Zhou Buqi, smiled and said: "It's not a magic soup. As the old saying goes, character determines destiny. But what determines character? Habits determine character. What determines habits? Behavior determines habits. What determines behavior? Thoughts determine behavior. In the final analysis, thoughts determine destiny.”

Sun Wanran said "Oh" and didn't agree with it.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "The most important thing is luck. There is no trick to this. Some people are born with a golden key. Even if they are born with cerebral palsy, they can still be praised. People with ordinary backgrounds need it even more." It’s luck. Thought is the foundation, and luck is the decisive factor.”

"What about you?" Zhen Yu looked at him, "What does your success come from?"

Zhou Buqi told the truth: "Of course it's luck. I'm the luckiest person in the world! If I didn't have this luck, I would be a small boss somewhere, and I would only be able to support a few female college students. It’s impossible to find an outstanding girl like you. Well, Wan Wan is silly, maybe I can trick her into getting her.”

Sun Wanran said unconvinced: "You are stupid. When I was in school, I had better grades than you! I am smarter than you!"

Zhou Buqi was noncommittal.

He now doesn't want to recall even the smallest detail of his previous life. Or is life in this life better and more worth remembering? The people and events in the past life are all in the past. There is nothing worth cherishing and recalling.

Suddenly, Zhou Buqi thought of something, "By the way, Mu'er is changing jobs. What should I do with my secretary? Didn't I ask you to recruit a new secretary?"

Sun Wanran had a headache, "I still said, there is nothing suitable!"

"Um?"

"You said you were looking for a secretary who is proficient in computers. I have read more than 3,000 resumes, and none of them meet the standards."

"Isn't the appearance good? Is the figure not good?"

"Well, girls who study computers generally don't have very good looks and figures, but there are a few that are particularly beautiful, but..." Sun Wanran gave him a big eye roll, "But don't you have a virginity complex? We have reached a dead end. I have picked out three girls who are very good in appearance, figure, and ability, and I even made a special call to communicate with them. I can't pass this level."

Zhen Yu pursed her lips and analyzed: "This is not surprising. Most of the computer department is male. There are a few girls, and they are surrounded by wolves. After four years of university, I am afraid that no girl can be here." Persevere under these circumstances.”

Sun Wanran suggested: "How about looking for it from abroad? Go to Stanford or Berkeley?"

"Foreigners? Pull them down. There are none in China, and even less likely abroad."

Zhou Buqi has a lot of personal privacy, so the requirements for the position of female secretary are extremely high. She doesn't have to be capable, good-looking, and good-looking to get the job, but she also has to be loyal and reliable.

It doesn't even matter if you have poor abilities. As long as you have good looks, a good figure, a clean mind, and are loyal and reliable, you can have this job.

But as Zhou Buqi's wealth increased and his social status became higher and higher, it became increasingly difficult to find loyal and reliable people.

He is so famous now that he has been targeted for a long time.

Maybe a competitor has figured out Boss Zhou's living habits, and then trained a female secretary to send him over. This would become a commercial espionage.

Find an amateur from a female college student to be your secretary. You have to be as cautious as possible in this way!

It is best to have reliable people recommend you, and the details of your family background are clear.
