"Hello, Mr. Albletch." Although the two worlds with Jennifer were disturbed, Li Rui showed no dissatisfaction.

Because the other party is starz's ceo!

It is famous like thunder, and it is so famous, and it is yellow and violent!

Starz is a state-owned cable paid TV channel for magnesium, which mainly broadcasts Hollywood hit movies and original series. Last year, Li Rui's favorite magnesium drama "Spartacus".

Regarding the masterpiece of magnesium dramas, "Spartacus" is definitely on the list. Someone on the Internet adapted two sentences from Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of Tengwang" to describe it: eroticism and violence fly together, and blood and beauty are the same color!

The shock was enough to hit the audience's attention!

It is precisely because of the outstanding performance of "Spartacus" that Starz added nearly two million new users last year, ranking first in all major cable Taichung.

The key figure in Starz's launch of "Spartacus" is this Chris Albletch.

Before this person came to Starz to serve as CEO, he worked in HBO for twenty-two years, and during this period he produced series such as "The Soprano", "Sex and the City", "Six Football Under", "Brothers", etc., and those who are familiar with magnesium dramas are all familiar with magnesium dramas.

After people read these names, they will know what kind of person he is.

hbo is called the Royal Riot on the Internet, and is closely related to the existence of Alblet.

After coming to Starz, Alblet continued his HBO style. In addition to "Spartacus", he successively released "Holy City Storm", "Shrine Spring and Autumn" and "Wind City Boss"

After the drama, the cable channel business has flourished, which is quite a trend of challenging the old boss HBO.

Li Rui was not familiar with this person at first, but when he attended various parties a few days ago, he kept listening to people mentioning Alblet's name. After listening to it too much, he combined with some scales and claws he knew in his previous life, and then he realized that this person was

The qualifications and status in the magnesium drama circle are unfathomable.

I thought I didn't have the chance to meet Alblet during this trip to Magnesium, but I didn't expect to meet him here. Of course, Li Rui had to treat him with courtesy.

Albletcher: "Am I disturbing your date? Jennifer, I love your performance in "Bone of Winter" and I'm so glad to see you!"

Jennifer hurriedly said, "Hello, Mr. Alblet, I'm very happy to see you." Although she only acts in movies and not TV series, she also knows that such a cable tycoon must not offend.

Li Rui said: "Mr. Albletch, you come here not just to say hello, right?"

"It's true..." Albletch said, "Jennifer, don't you mind talking to Mr. Lee, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind." Jennifer smiled and stood up, "I'll go to the bathroom and you guys will chat slowly."

Albletch sat down and waited for Jennifer to walk away and said, "She is a very good girl. Her acting skills are among the top three among the younger generation of Hollywood actresses."

Li Rui smiled and said, "I'll thank you for your praise for her."

Albletcher said again: "Mr. Li's vision of choosing a girlfriend is as good as your investment vision. The Lions Gate stock you buy will definitely make a big profit in the future, and your investment will be restarted.

I have also read the Sida website, which has a very...nostalgic flavor."

Li Rui smiled and said, "Nostalgia... I just treat it as a compliment. I believe you must not find other adjectives with praise!"

Blockbuster's film library is indeed a huge problem. There are only old movies and no new movies, which cannot attract young people with the main Internet users at all. During the period of re-launch, there were less than 10,000 paid users. This result is simply terrible!

Li Rui was not in a hurry. While negotiating the Lions Gate’s film library, he talked to Disney about the copyright of Marvel’s next fifteen movies. In addition, the original self-produced dramas represented by "House of Cards" are also being promoted in an orderly manner.

The prospects are still very impressive.

Li Rui was just surprised that Alblet took the initiative to come to talk about Blockbuster. What is the purpose of it?

He said in a constant manner: "I like "Spartacus". It's the best magnesium drama I've ever seen in recent years. It's just that Andy is so sorry..."

Andy Whitefield, an actor who played the lead role in "Spartacus" season 1, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma when the series was aired last year. After fighting the disease,

After his unfortunate death in September this year, many viewers who liked this series felt extremely regretful.

Albletch also said with emotion: "Andy is the best actor, may he rest in heaven."

After a few greetings in the circle, Alblet finally couldn't help but get to the point: "Mr. Li, I heard you are negotiating for the Lions Gate's film library?"

Li Rui smiled and said, "How do you know?"

This matter is not a secret or small, but not everyone can know it.

In addition, Albletcher knows a lot about himself, which made Li Rui realize that the other party must have a very close relationship with Lionsgate Pictures. It seems that the meeting in the restaurant today was not accidental.

Alblet said: "I have many friends at Lionsgate and they have revealed this to me. Please rest assured that I have no malice and will not spread it to anyone else. I just want to ask Mr. Li if it is

Have an intention to cooperate with Starz?”

"Oh?" Li Rui was intrigued.

Starz cable TV has been operating for many years and must have the copyright of many classic movies and TV series. Li Rui now urgently needs a large number of film sources to expand Blockbuster's film library. If he can really reach a cooperation with Starz, it will be a timely help!

"How to cooperate?" Li Rui asked.

Albletch said: "Starz has 17 channels and has been working closely with companies such as Sony Disney, with paid TV program authorization and Internet release authorization. Currently, we are looking for partners for this part of the program.

”

Li Rui said in surprise: "Disney's program Internet authorization is in your hands? Didn't they directly authorize it to Netflix?"

Albletch smiled and said, "Netflix's authorization was obtained from Starz. It signed a four-year authorization contract in 2008 and will expire in March next year. At present, we are working with

Netflix is ​​in negotiations for renewal, but is willing to listen to other parties' offers."

Li Rui understands.

This is asking me to raise the price!

Li Rui didn't know whether Starz and Netflix had a meeting in his previous life, but since he encountered this in this life, he would definitely have to get involved.

Alblet, you are looking for the right person.
Chapter completed!
