With the launch of a new issue of Newsweek, the house of cards continues to be popular in a gradual way.

For political novels, there are usually some problems, such as easily falling into the position choice of "Zuo or you" or getting used to being addicted to the facial caricature of politicians, both of which are easy to make the temperament of the novel itself appear frivolous and shallow.

Andy has never considered the issue of position. Of course, he doesn't need to think so much about the restoration he is doing now. The way he deals with it is closer to the straight white. Although the hidden lines are wonderful, it is rare to talk about political skills openly.

The way of building "house of cards" is the mechanical principle that the cards depend on each other. If a card is pulled away, the building will tilt. Therefore, the title of the book has summed up everything the story wants to express without concealment and obscurity.

The first part of "house of cards" is still in the series. With the popularity of the novel, the major TV stations are naturally very knowledgeable. After all, there are millions of fixed readers, which is definitely the most valuable fixed audience after the adaptation of TV series.

There is a saying in the TV industry that "ratings are the source of all evils", because no one knows what it will draw. Only according to the past experience of the production team, we can make corresponding catering to the market and add many elements that can not be described and can directly 404, but even so, the ratings are still unknown, but the preferences of the audience change so fast, it's really true It's hard to think about.

Major TV stations have been contacting Newsweek for a long time in order to win the film and television adaptation right of the novel, but Andy is not moved at all, because he has decided to let the TV play operate according to the track of previous life, still in the form of online play.

This is also an important part of his early layout. When he bought Summit Entertainment, Andy let people rent an office building in Santa Monica. Hulu, a video website company, was established as a simple studio.

Andy shamelessly seizes the opportunity again, seizing the name of Hulu video website. You may not know Hulu very well. After all, rabbit country cannot enter. Hulu video website is one of the most popular video websites in the United States. The main business of the website in the future is to provide authorized authentic films and TV programs.

Of course, it's bullshit to rely on the film library of Andy's new film company, which started with distribution, to support a video website, so it's necessary to seek the cooperation and support of major media, TV stations and film companies.

This is not a thing that can stand firm by eating alone. We must distribute the cake well. If we want to get huge benefits, we need to make the cake bigger.

In fact, there are not too many real code engineers in Andy's Hulu video website studio. The most are the staff of the external liaison department. They have been contacting major TV stations and major film companies for cooperation since early.

The sudden appearance of Hulu video website also stopped NBC global, who is preparing to cooperate with fox to get a video website, because they learned who the boss of Hulu video website is, and convinced the slogan put forward by Hulu video website.

"Fight against the erosion of online video to the traditional film and television industry, and draw users' attention from funny cats back to the blockbusters that the producers spend a lot of money to shoot!"

Listen, it's so good to talk about these old media. YouTube is the biggest enemy of the old media. Hulu video website is Andy, the boss of the new Hollywood film company, who stands in the same line with them in order to fight against these new media like YouTube.

As for why they think so, the main thing is that Andy allows them to pay for shares, or become a content provider of Hulu video website in a cooperative way.

In Andy's plan, Hulu will cooperate with more than 80 content producers such as NBC global, fox Sony, MGM, Warner Bros., Lions Gate and NBA, while AOL, Yahoo, MSN and MySpace will be its partners in channels. This means that anyone can see high-quality, full-length new and old TV series and movies such as the Simpsons and 24 hours free of charge on Hulu and its partner websites.

But the point is that a new video site needs to be exposed in other ways than burning money. After all, YouTube's users are more likely to create hot spots in the dissemination of content. When the user bandwidth is still in its infancy, people are also easy to accept short videos with blurred image quality but interesting content.

Of course, YouTube website has never been able to establish a successful profit model. Its survival depends entirely on Google's acquisition, and its fate of becoming a strategic chess piece depends on its money. Andy is relatively speechless, and is the victim of Google data.

Andy's Hulu video website decided from the beginning of the establishment of the studio that every 22 minutes of video needs to insert 2 minutes of advertising mode to survive. Of course, users can choose the preferred advertising broadcast, and the paid content has no advertising choice to watch the mode.Andy, as a senior netizen, has enjoyed free resources in rabbit country for many years. For the later advertising problems and fee watching, he is still getting used to it? Therefore, the acceptance threshold of netizens is not as high as they shout. Andy is not worried about the profit prospect of the website at all, let alone the jumping and scolding of netizens at the beginning.

The key is content. "Solitaire house" is his trump to increase the exposure of Hulu video website. After the first part of the novel is published, he asked Jon Mitcham to take the lead to find several companies to invest, and make a complete season to be directly put on the Internet and watched for a fee.

Well, this undoubtedly challenges the old TV audience's viewing habits, but it is the most suitable behavior for the current Internet users. In any case, Andy's previous life was extremely disgusted with the pursuit of drama. NIMA, watching one episode a week can be very urgent. I believe that at the moment when the number and quality of film and television are infinitely updated, most people have lost the patience to wait for a long episode in front of the TV every week.

In particular, the revolution of smart phones is about to start. The following mobile clients will grow explosively, and the information bombing will be more simple and severe. In addition, the emotional short circuit and forgetfulness of urban people will make no sense even if the time spent at the beginning of each episode is a decent review of the previous episode.

Anyway, one week episode, Andy feels very shabby, so in a sense, he will use "house of cards" online drama to subvert this tradition, open up a new way, and let Hulu video website rise rapidly. Of course, this is undoubtedly a huge impact on TV stations that have long dominated the production and distribution of American dramas. After all, they need to concentrate their audience in front of the TV for a certain period of time and charge a huge advertising fee.

This is not a problem he needs to consider. At that time, he will bring several major media groups into the camp of Hulu video website. Anyway, they also make money. I believe that even if they have opinions, they will bear it.

Andy is to use the form of cake to pull up a huge force group to seize the future network channels and network traffic. Benefit sharing is never a problem. The capital society, eating alone will become the target of the public. What he wants is just more influence and power brought to him by intangible resources.

Money, Andy likes and has many ways to get it. Now his eyes have been more on the resources seizing. Especially in the coming period of the storm, all kinds of high-quality resources affected by the economic crisis will become cabbage prices, even garbage that nobody cares about.

Holding a huge amount of cash in his hand, he has tied his napkin, held his knife and fork, sat at the table, ready to start a feast.

Andy frowns and looks at a pile of sketches of his pencil drawn steel war clothes. He mumbles: "marvel, marvel, where should I start to make you my industry?"

Picked up the phone and called out.

"Hello, Al, what's Marvel doing recently?"

"Ha ha, I just wanted to call your boss, but I didn't expect you to call first. News came from Marvel pictures. Well, maybe it's good news for us. In order to get rid of the excessive intervention of Marvel Entertainment Group, the parent company, Kevin page of Marvel pictures established a system different from the mainstream Hollywood system after getting the support of Stanley and marvel cartoon editor in chief Slice mode.

Committee of six producers. The six member producer committee is composed of senior executives who are proficient in resource integration and management, senior editors and comic writers who have a good understanding of the comic industry and are familiar with the psychology of comic readers.

This makes Mike, CEO of Marvel Entertainment Group, very angry. He can't bear that Marvel film industry is becoming more and more independent. However, with the support of Stan Li and the manga editor, Ike has no way now.

The internal contradictions of Marvel have become clear and open. Kevin page is very capable, but as a professional manager, he has broken the bottom line of professional ethics.

The think tank agreed that if we complete the acquisition of marvel, the first thing is to fire Kevin page, no matter how capable he is! "

Andy has a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, which is the value of his think tank. He has a brilliant vision of the future and a general view of strategic layout, but he is not a God. He can consider everything, especially the use and discrimination of talents.

If it's his original idea, Kevin page, who has been very successful in his previous life, will definitely continue to be entrusted with important tasks, but the think tank thinks of the professional ethics of serving the board of directors and the boss as a professional manager. This kind of subordinates, even a genius, can never be used, and finally backfire on the boss.
