《Hollywood King》Chapter 262 | Nothing More, Nothing Less
Advertisement
“Netflix… This is a move towards more convenient, personalized content. Right now, as it’s the launch party, I’d like to share some of our secrets. Trust me, this barely sums up everything. The success of Netflix will one day show that consumers want products that are easy to use and tailored to match their preferences. We are a movie, TV series, and games entertainment service. We are a relief from the complexity and frustration that embody most MVPD relationships with their customers. We strive to be extremely straightforward. There is no better example of this than our no-hassle online cancellation.
The digital marketing strategy of Netflix follows a very creative process. They post on social media regularly. Snippets from their movies or shows, famous memes, etc., are integrated into posts that make them memorable, quirky, and shareable. It ensures that the engagement rate is high.
I heard someone ask about who is Netflix's main target audience?
Netflix's target market is young, tech-savvy users and anyone with digital connectivity. The audience of Netflix is from diverse age groups and demographics. However, most of the audience is teenagers, college-goers, entrepreneurs, working professionals, etc.
Our core mission, strategy, and vision are that of “improving its members' experience by expanding the streaming content with a focus on a programming mix of content that delights members and attracts new members.
We made its way into the world of streaming by buying licences to material from other producers. While they were the first to do it – and enjoyed an enormous amount of success during the early streaming days – other companies soon began to get in on the act….”
The board director’s speech included the main and the must-knows about Netflix which Ian implemented with his takeover of shares.
The discussion they had was interesting. The meeting was intense. But somehow, it ended with Ian holding his ground and his shares up in the air proving that he has every right to change things as he pleases with being the major shareholder.
The last time he would have thrown the fact that he was the major shareholder was when he first talked to uncle Mason. But for all he knew, he’d need the assistant of Mason to climb the ladders of Hollywood–and just like that, he did. And since then, he came a long way.
On the other hand, as soon as Netflix was reopened, the entire world went crazy on social media.

Many other OTT platforms like JiAM, Hitsu, TVAmaze, RealMe, and many more already existed in the world. To the competition, Netflix officially joined as it already acquired rights to stream many existing movies, series, and documentaries on the platform.
“This is a fresh beginning for Netflix! Good going! Ian’s meddling in the business is truly going to be good! Looking forward to more with Netflix!” -Layla Fredd ✔
“As we’ve already witnessed and heard from the board of directors, Netflix is special and new, thus, it also has many features compared to other platforms. Looking for more features, maybe including a mobile app!” -Kiara
“The opening was amazing! The launch was truly different! Looking forward to sharing experiences!” - Natalie
“Netflix is an amazing name! Net (internet) + flix (films, movies)! Wonderful!” -Peter
The positive comments made by the board of directors of Netflix content with their decision.
At first, when Ian walked through the door of the conference hall and started discussing all the differences he wanted to make with the company and the brand, they didn’t quite like it. But later on, Ian made them realize the power he had with the company and explained the profits they’d all gain.
Ian, who remembered the exact scenario, continued to watch the reviews from famous people who came to the opening and now was basically publicizing Netflix. All while laying in his bed.

[Set @LA, California]
Real Estate had begun the shooting a week ago. There was a small situation with the agent of the actor who auditioned for the role of the lead. But, with Ian meddling in the situation, with Raelynn’s request, things started becoming quite profitable for Renner Studio.
[Flashback]
The agent, Harley Jonathan, requested a special meeting between Ian, Raelynn, and Niko. Ian wanted to be there while he was talking to Harley, and that thought crossed his mind as soon as Raelynn complained about what happened.
By no means, Raelynn didn’t want to handle a situation where she was disrespected.
Harley not only disrespected her but also used his words to make her extremely uncomfortable. But on the other hand, she had something in mind.
While he was talking, she knew that the CCTV was recording everything ongoing in the office. Which was why she let him continue speaking, without landing a slap across his face as she’d normally do.

Ian walked in, while Harley and Raelynn had an intense eye contact battle going on. Niko, who sat next to Raelynn, was extremely uncomfortable with the situation, but he wanted to be there for his best friend. Talk about things you do for a best friend.
“You must be Harley!”
As soon as Ian’s voice came across the room, he stood up. “Mr. Renner, what a surprise?”
He asked with much shock layered in his voice.
Ian almost chuckled sarcastically.
“What did you expect by trying to sleep with my girlfriend? That too, at work… So, I’d use the term, my coworker?” Ian asked as he walked in, to sit right in front of everyone.
His voice held so much authority, that even Raelynn felt a chill down her spine.
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
‘Ah, the classical I-don’t-know-what-you-are-talking-about move’ Ian thought.
“Niko, show.”
Ian said and Niko got to work as quickly as possible. Showing the clip with audio, it was evident that the guy in front of Ian tried to harass his girlfriend… That too, shamelessly.
“What made you think that we wouldn’t agree to your conditions? We want the actor to play the lead as I see no one better than him doing the character.”
Harley was in shock. It was clearly visible that he hadn’t faced such an incident before. By practice, it was sure that he had harassed women before. Which was something very common in the industry.
As nasty as it was when most men in the industry see women who’d please their eyes, they tend to look beyond career and focus on what the women could do sexually and act on behalf of that.
This was why many female actresses ended up getting into sexual relationships with the directors just because they wanted a role or they needed to climb higher in the industry.
The term, “she slept on her way up” originated from it.
“What the fuck are you saying?” Harley asked loudly. He kept his chill during the entire time knowing what sort of power Ian had over the industry, and how he could break or make careers. Yet, with how he was being exposed, he couldn’t hold onto it much longer.
“The fuck I’m saying is exactly the fuck you’re seeing. No shame? Did you think that she’d shut the fuck up like any other woman you’ve done this before? Don’t think that I’m not aware of all of it. Because trust me, two phone calls, you’d be behind the fucking bars, counting days to get out.”
Ian said with the same loud voice Harley used against them.
The environment got intense and everyone fell into a pin-drop silence. Harley’s eyes were on Ian, as Ian looked at him with the same intensity.
“Do you fucking think that you can shout at me-”
“Yes, I do,” Ian said and chuckled, sarcastically. “I seriously fucking do. I’d hand over this clip, or simply release this shit to the internet, and you’ll have nowhere to go. No job to save or no life to live. Do you want that?” Ian asked calmly.
“What do you want?”
Harley asked after a moment of pause.
“I’d tell you what I want, but before that, apologize to her. Not her, but no girl deserves harassment from men like you.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You’re what?” Ian pushed.
“I’m sorry for behaving the way I did. You didn’t deserve it.”
He said after thinking for so long. It was clear that the dude wanted to be anywhere other than there.
“You’ll make the contracts for the lead role. There’s no going back-”
“But-”
“BUT, yes. For the same offer, we were offering. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“That’s not happening. I’m sorry. We have certain requirements to be met if you want the actor for your movie. That’s how it works. Either way, I can’t.”
Ian raised an eyebrow in challenge.
“Really? You can’t or you won’t? Because trust me, I would. I would do anything if someone had a tape of me harassing a woman in the industry, just because the deal won’t go through and you would not work together. Hm?”
He asked in the most calming voice. His hands were on the table, palms meeting each other, and in fact, his entire posture was scary. His face was stern, and his eyebrows knitted into a frown.
Harley looked scared as he looked at Ian.

Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me. I couldn't resist. Cover by https://twitter.com/rajah_etc

Pocket Dungeon Lite
Based on the Pocket Dungeon original novel made by Stuckin (I asked for his permission beforehand). I do not know if this could count as a fanfiction as I made up many elements on the go so, for now, I will list this as an original but if Stuckin-sama would like me to change it I will be fine with doing so. This is somewhat of a self-insert but I made sure not to make the MC to OP. Also, the creator of the cover is Vurguy I tried to contact him to ask for permission but couldn't due to technical issues please go support him on Deviant Art and I don't own the picture so if he wants me to take it down than I am completely okay with doing so. As I am an improving author, I am glad to receive any constructive criticism or critical review I just hope that everyone will give me a chance before they yell at me for something or at least tell me what made them angry so I know what the issue is and can figure out how to deal with it. For now, my schedule is 1-2 chapters a week and if I am busy with either work or school 1-3 chapters every 2 weeks. I expect a bunch of chapters at the beginning around 5 or so and for me to continue from there. I will try my best to keep some chapters in storage for any time where I can't write for whatever reason. I will continue to change this part of the synopsis if anything changes in my update schedule. - From a thoughtful Author Pocket Dungeon is a widespread interstellar game that has captivated the attention of many races and civilizations. Nowadays in the 2300s anyone not living under a rock would grow up with a dungeon and learn to manage it over time as they make mistakes along the way. But as all things go there is always an exception and this exception can be found in Nadezhda Ledopad who had an overprotective family that didn't let him interact with anything but those they deemed worthy and safe. This overprotectiveness caused them to forbid him from gaining a pocket dungeon as they knew with his intelligence and specialties in certain fields he would become a strong dungeon master, quickly. This was something his family was very much against as they knew that his competitiveness and duty to maintain the Ledopad family's reputation would push him to win in the competitions that he would inevitably get invited too. This all changed when Nadezh graduated high school and moved to the Celestial Plane capital star as a Prodigal student in planetary conservation (major) and revival of species through DNA transferal (minor). His brother in all but blood Tet schemed to get him into Pocket Dungeons when they got there as no one would keep Nadezh from playing. Nadezh excited to join his peers in this famous game looked forward to doing so. But with this one decision, many futures changed and the Fates laughed as people of strong destinies meet together on this plane. Warning - This will probably contain LGBT+ relationships. You have been warned, I will not tolerate stupidity to the ninth degree in the comment section and I hope that people can be logical enough to GO AWAY if they don't like this kind of thing. If you don't feel comfortable with mature or explicit scenes I will put a warning in the chapters or parts with such and I just wanted all of you to know that this will be a long novel as with most novel I will write in the future so don't expect a deep romantic relationship anytime soon.
