In an interview with "Total Film", Ridley Scott praised that since the advent of streaming media, he has become stronger and more confident, and he can edit films without looking at the boss's eyes: "I am working on the director's cut of "Napoleon", and the latest version is 4 hours and 10 minutes long." Director Lei said, "The plan is Jiang Zi, Sony Pictures will release the theatrical version, and the best one will come after the theatrical exclusive window is over. The director's cut will be streamed, and it will be 4 hours and 10 minutes long."

Of course, Apple, which is responsible for the streaming version, will not interfere with Director Lei's artistic creation. Let alone 4 hours, 14 hours will be fine. At worst, it will be made into a top, middle, bottom, or even a miniseries. Director Lei's sad past is that the theatrical version of "Kingdom of Heaven" was unable to fully reflect the creative intention due to time constraints. The director's cut was not released to fans until the release of the CD. At that time, no matter whether it was praise or criticism, it meant little.

"Napoleon" is scheduled to premiere in theaters on November 22 and will be released as a streaming media on the AppleTV+ platform.

The main reason why films produced by streaming media platforms such as Netflix, Apple, and Amazon are premiered in theaters is to qualify for film industry awards. The platform doesn't care about those broken awards at all. Ratings are king, but the cast and crew who are engaged in art still value this. Maybe Director Lei has long been indifferent to fame and fortune, but his actors have to rely on fame and fortune to make a living.

In addition, Netflix announced that the sixth (final season) of "The Crown" will be broadcast in two parts. The first four episodes are scheduled to premiere on November 16, and the last six episodes will premiere on December 14.

The actor who plays the Queen was replaced by Imelda Staunton from Olivia Colman, and the plot covers 1997 to 2005. The focus of the first half is that Princess Diana died in a car accident, and the focus of the second half is that Charles got married.

"The Crown" has won 21 Emmy Awards as a Netflix original series, and its fourth season was named the best series of the year.
