Let Hollywood come to you,\u201d he said. \u201cI think this is a case in point of what Netflix has done.\u201d And he shared that he also felt the end of traditional limitations. \u201cFor me, being supported that you can tell your story in your own original language, and you\u2019re like, \u2018Are you serious?\u2019 \u2018Yes, you can do that.\u2019 And it is literally decolonizing, for me, the lens. I don\u2019t have to see my world, my soul in an English kind of set-up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Uthaug similarly said that traditionally when a big American company signs on to make a creator\u2019s movie, they worry \u201cthat they will run all over you and use you as a puppet, but that was not the case at all\u201d with Netflix, he said. \u201cWe were given great freedom\u201d and \u201clots of support in making the movie I wanted to make and supporting my vision for the movie.\u201d As a result, he could make an \u201cauthentically Norwegian\u201d movie about trolls for Netflix rather than an Americanized version of his story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Asked what other stories he would like to tell, Uthaug said: \u201cI think there may be more trolls out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Meanwhile, German creator Eyssen discussed the success of Germany- and Austria-set royal drama <em>The Empress<\/em>. \u201cIt was very moving and very humbling to me to see that it wasn\u2019t only hit in Germany, but also around the world,\u201d she shared. \u201cI was so moved by the messages I got from around the world, from people from Nigeria and South America, a lot from Colombia, the States a lot and the U.K. and Canada. I was completely overwhelmed. And we were successful in Ukraine, which is, of course, very important to us as Europeans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Eyssen also highlighted the intense back-and-forth with her Netflix contact though to ensure the best version of the show. \u201cI was lying in the editing room crying because my executive and I were fighting so hard,\u201d she said, but also lauded the feedback for making her work better. \u201cI really learned to elevate my work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    During the same event on Monday, Larry Tanz, vp, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) content at Netflix, discussed what subscribers watch and how stories have increasingly emerged from across the world. And Netflix executive chairman Reed Hastings and co-CEO Greg Peters talked about risk-taking, as well as their focus on member satisfaction and profitability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Netflix, which ended 2022 with 230.75 million subscribers, has been expanding its presence and production operations in various international markets. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) quietly became the streamer\u2019s biggest region in terms of subscribers in 2022, overtaking the combined user figure of 74.3 million for the U.S. and Canada with its 76.7 million. Its revenue for last year reached $9.75 billion, with average revenue per user (ARPU) of $10.99, compared to $15.86 for the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Ampere Analysis has said that Netflix has become the second-largest TV company in Europe in terms of European revenue, accounting for 7.7 percent in 2022, before including online video advertising revenue, which the streamer just started recording.
