HAROLD & JULIAN FORD | BEIJING, CHINA

Tech in America spoke with producer/content creators Harold and Julian Ford about the opportunity. It’s a story of earned success and persistent vision.

LeTV GLOBAL PARTNERS

On the transition from lending to creation of the Master Karate Todd series, Harold explained “In many ways, lessons we learned from mortgage banking translate well to intellectual property (‘IP’) deals.”

LETV GLOBAL PARTNERS ANNOUNCEMENT | BEIJING, CHINA

For those unfamiliar with the contract heavy side of IP, agreements require a facility with numbers and keen eye on valuation. Ford sums it up, “Lending and the distribution business have a lot in common.”

LeTV PARTNERSHIP EVENT | BEIJING, CHINA

Experience gained distributing the work doubled as grand tour of the IP world, yielding contacts and content now exploited in the LeTV partnership. Julian relayed the anecdote of calling hugely successful Dora the Explorer creator Chris Gifford “35 times before he took my call” to exemplify their hard bitten drive to succeed.

LeTV STREAMS TO ITS OWN BRAND SMART TV

Closing a deal with 12 Billion dollar LeTV included the very same resilience. Harold described negotiations proceeding “at near lighting speed for this industry – though it was really 9 months of 15 hours days.” The old adage, ‘luck is where preparation meets opportunity’ comes to mind. LeTV sells millions of feature packed smartphones and smartTVs that easily handle streaming video- a powerful market force requiring software – content – to drive hardware sales.
