Early the next morning, Orion Pictures contacted FedEx headquarters and reached a cooperation agreement with FedEx to modify the sorting process for Netflix.

During this period, the losses caused by FedEx were all borne by Orion Pictures until the daily shipment volume of Netflix reached more than 20,000 pieces.

At the same time, the overseas distribution branch of Orion Films and Golden Harvest began to contact overseas film companies to negotiate the purchase of film copyrights.

Among them, Southeast Asian countries are relatively easy, as long as they can afford the price, even the copyright of popular movies can be bought.

Film companies including Japan, South Korea, the other side of the Pacific, Xiangjiang, etc., almost none of them rejected the purchase request from Orion Pictures.

Some film companies simply come to their door to sell film copyrights, not only intending to sell online DVD licenses and online playback copyrights, but even package and sell the entire film library.

Many of them are old movies and TV series.

Fortunately, the price is not cheap.

After getting Ryan's consent, Orion Pictures can be said to be open to all comers.

In just half a month, a large number of overseas film copyrights were purchased.

In some countries in Europe and South America, the progress of negotiations is relatively much slower.

It is relatively easy for those small film companies, production companies, and small TV stations. As long as the price is in place, it is easy to get the copyright.

Some major film companies, TV networks, etc., do not sell them at all, or they only sell some old movies, and the prices are not cheap.

Slightly newer popular movies only agree to share the license, and it is not an exclusive license.

In desperation, Ryan can only ask people to sign the authorization for as many years as possible, preferably ten or fifteen years, the longer the better.

In addition, online copyrights are also bought as much as possible.

Even if it's not an exclusive buyout.

When Netflix really develops, self-made online dramas are the ultimate way out.

In the previous life, Netflix didn't have many copyrights of popular movies in the true sense, and most of them belonged to competitors.

No "Star Wars" series, no Avengers series, no series of animated feature films from Pixar Animation Studios, etc.

Someone has specifically calculated that among the ten highest-grossing films on Netflix, three of them are from the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Netflix has been focusing on independent online dramas and self-made movies in the previous life.

Another reason is that Disney, one of Netflix's competitors, naturally cannot license popular movies to Netflix.

And HBO is also a competitor of Netflix. This company is not only a TV network, but its parent company is Time Warner.

Backed by Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Most of Netflix's competitors are from Hollywood giants or media groups.

So Netflix can only choose to make its own online dramas and movies.

Of course, now Netflix has the support of Orion Films, not only laying out the website movie copyright library in advance, but also owns the world's largest movie library and a series of movie copyrights for superhero movies under Marvel Comics in the future.

Netflix was also not idle. Mark Randolph personally led the technical team to optimize the website as a whole.

The website at this time cannot be compared with the previous life, and has various restrictions. Netflix can optimize only a few places.

Since the outbreak of the Internet crisis, the entire Internet industry has stopped developing, and many times it is necessary to consider the problems brought about by software, hardware, and broadband.

Netflix can solve most of the software problems, but there is no solution for hardware and broadband.

It is impossible for Netflix to promote the entire Internet industry chain.

"The optimization of the site in general is almost complete."

The head of the technical team, Vince Palmer, has a huge dark circle under his eyes. He has not gone home to rest for several nights. "We can put multiple video categories on the shelves at any time."

"Nice job." Ryan patted Vince Palmer on the shoulder and leaned in front of the computer screen with Mark Randolph.

The optimized Netflix website is much simpler than before. In addition to adding classification functions, a simple internal search function has also been added.

In Ryan's opinion, overall it's not bad.

What caught his eye was that the new Netflix website has a video library classification function.

Not only can it be classified according to the country and region where the film was produced, but it can also be classified according to the subject matter of the film, such as war films, animated feature films, action films, drama films, etc.

Pushing open the door of the office area, Sofia Coppola walked in, "Tell you a nice smile."

Walking up, Sofia Coppola said with a smile: "We have obtained the authorization of Lucasfilm's film library."

"Includes licenses for the Star Wars franchise and the Indiana Jones franchise."

Mark Randolph couldn't help cheering, "God, we actually got the authorization for the "Star Wars" series."

"It's unbelievable."

"Mark!" Ryan said with a smile: "Don't forget, Netflix has already obtained the authorization of "Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone."

"Following this year's G.I.: Rise of Cobra, Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, Rush Hour 3, Tomb Raider 2 and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Licensing of the copyright of "Spider-Man."

Mark Randolph nodded emphatically. No one knew better than him that Netflix, which was supported by Orion Pictures, was no longer the Netflix that came to Blockbuster to buy it.

Orion Films not only brought a lot of money and various film copyright authorizations, even popular film copyright authorizations.

He believes Netflix will surprise Blockbuster soon.

"When will the new website be launched?" Ryan turned around and asked Vince Palmer.

"No later than the beginning of May. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Vince Palmer said confidently: "Kushi Netflix will be able to handle more than 9 million user searches per day and process 250,000 searches at the same time. order."

This is something that Netflix has always wanted to do but failed to do.

"Very good." Ryan nodded with satisfaction, "However, Netflix still needs to continue to optimize."

"In addition, several films produced by Orion Films in the summer file can be added to Netflix's film library in advance."

This is not a pie.

Orion Pictures will certainly license these hits to Netflix.

"No problem." Vince Palmer agreed excitedly.

He can even imagine that Netflix's move will definitely cause shock to users.

A thing that even Blockbuster can't do.

According to the process of the DVD rental company, the first week of the film's release will be over at the earliest, and they will start negotiating with the film company about the copyright authorization of the film, and will not start promoting it in the rental store until they finally buy the DVD copyright of the film.

It is a very rare thing for Netflix to say that it has obtained the authorization of the film before the film is released.
