If Sisyphus Pictures is ready to establish its own distribution channels, and if Sisyphus Pictures is to further establish its own online streaming media platform, the disadvantages and difficulties they face are countless, let alone whether they can succeed, even if The first step is full of numerous challenges; but in the face of many problems, their only advantage is Lanli.
At this moment, Park City, Sundance Film Festival.
The main purpose of Lan Li’s trip is to promote the progress of the independent film industry. Robert Redford eagerly hopes that Sisyphus Pictures can provide more opportunities for filming. Now there are no 100 or 8 projects waiting for funding. Ten; The Coen Brothers, David Fincher, David Lynch, Wes Anderson and other well-known directors in the industry, the projects in their hands are also patiently waiting for the investment and production of the film company, but they are subject to two sets The restrictions on tights are also currently facing difficulties.
There is no need to go back to Los Angeles or New York. Here, Lan Li personally negotiates and persuades these directors and producers with his reputation and reputation. Sisyphus Pictures can make a list. In order to put into the shooting and production work.
This is just a part.
At the same time, Andy Rogers is waiting for Lan Li’s favored project scripts. There are really no few scripts, especially after the two works of "Burst Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" set foot in the producer field, he is now willing to seek Lan Li’s favor. There are more and more projects, just like Steven Spielberg, even if it is a named producer, the project can get more attention——
In particular, Lan Li's current selection of victorious works has been recognized by the industry.
For some film projects, they don’t expect Lan Li to take over at all. They just want Lan Li to take over, and then they can tell other film companies, "This is a project that Lan Li once praised", and then seek more investment opportunities. This also makes more and more speculators invest their script projects to innovative artist management companies.
In fact, this is abnormal, because the agency is not a production company, and actors and producers have no way to provide direct assistance. Even if they are interested in the project, they can only find the production company through their contacts and then seek investment. , An actor can only take care of a few projects at the same time, the number is really too small, and the probability is really too low.
But such an abnormal situation is happening, and the side also proves Lan Li's current prestige. The awards season is one size, and the industry's recognition is another; if you just talk about the vision of Lan Li's selection of works, now no one in Hollywood can match it, and it deserves the top spot.
In other words, Andy now also has a project library, waiting for Lan Li to select slowly, and suitable projects can go directly to Sisyphus Films' channels and immediately put into filming and production.
Establishing a huge content library with original content is indeed a huge project, which requires energy and time, and can not be rushed; but if you step back and imagine, you can take the boutique route at the very beginning, and consider quality beyond quantity——
If there is such an online streaming media platform that can provide ten works comparable to "House of Cards" and "Rights and Games", and ten works comparable to "Drunk Country Folk Songs" and "Burst Drummer", then you are willing to pay for subscription How many audiences are there? More importantly, the high-quality audience in this category is bound to occupy the majority, just like HBO back then, with elite audiences to drive word-of-mouth, and then open up the situation among ordinary audiences.
From a historical perspective, 2014 is an important turning point.
Netflix's original drama series successfully opened up, and the second season of "House of Cards" will be launched soon. This gives Netflix more confidence and is increasing investment in original dramas, but it still takes time.
Amazon’s original drama series has taken the first step. "Transparent Family" will premiere in February. Before getting word-of-mouth feedback, Amazon does not need to rush and lose its rhythm.
Hulu's North American domestic promotion plan is still lukewarm. Disney, News Corporation and NBC Universal are hesitant to increase investment, but there is no way to make up their minds for the time being.
Disney is focusing most of its energy on the market development of the Star Wars series. Twentieth Century Fox is trying to focus more on streaming media but has nowhere to go. Warner Bros. has just created "HBO Now" and is in its infancy. Universal Pictures and Paramount was forced to focus more on film projects because of the continuous decline of the film market, while Sony Columbia was devoted to exploring the possibilities of the "Spiderman" universe.
In 2014, the rise of streaming media has sounded in my ears, but Netflix and Amazon have not yet been able to fully mature and grow up, and are still in the first stage of primitive accumulation. If Sisyphus Pictures firmly seizes the opportunity, It may not be impossible to disrupt the structure of the entire market now.
In Lan Li's words, a magnificent blueprint was slowly laid out, which made people excited.
But... Andrei didn't get dizzy. Instead, he calmed down. He stared at Lan Li before him, and returned to the original topic again, "Are you sure we want to get involved in the distribution channel?"
If you ignore the distribution channels, just as a production company, just like Legendary Pictures, Sisyphus Pictures now has many advantages and can easily gain a foothold in the industry, allowing Thomas Tour and Van Die Searle was extremely uncomfortable, it couldn't be easier.
Even if it is Sundance’s cooperation issue, they have a way to simplify things.
However, if a distribution channel is established, it means that Sisyphus Pictures is no longer just a trifle. Thomas Tour and Van Diesel are not as important as the ants. Their opponents have become six. For large film studios, the content that needs to be planned and considered is different.
The entire level and scale are not the same thing; naturally, the consequences and costs are also not trivial.
Although Lan Li is a hand-off shopkeeper, he also understands what "distribution channels" and "streaming media platforms" mean. He himself did not expect that things will deviate from the original track step by step, which also proves a fact. : The higher you stand, the farther you can see, the world will be completely different.
"Andre, I'm just an actor. You should know that my ambitions and dreams are very, very small. I just want to be able to stand on stage and perform in front of the camera. That's enough. The life I have now, It’s my dream."
A light smile appeared at the corner of Lan Li's mouth. He still looked content and relaxed, but the sincerity in his eyes was extraordinarily sincere. This made Andre's raised eyes stop and look seriously. To Lan Li's sight-these words, Lan Li always shared with Matthew, he and Eaton are friends of Lan Li, but they are not Matthew; until today.
"If you don't want to establish a distribution channel, I have no reason to object, and I will also agree so that I can save some trivial matters." At this point, Lan Li himself chuckled softly, "About independence In the future of film, Sisyphus Pictures can provide a lot of help at this stage. I think Robert will not ask for more."
"Similarly, if you choose to establish a distribution channel, the support I can give is really limited. The only thing I am good at may be the film itself. I can contact some friends, I can choose some projects, I can participate in some works, I You can participate in some productions, but that’s all.” Lan Li looked at Andre with a smile, with a soft smile flashing under his eyes, “I don’t know if I can succeed in the scenes I just described, and I don’t know whether it should be successful or not. How to evolve into reality."
"So, I don't have the ability to answer yes or no. This is the choice you need to make. But no matter what the answer is, I stand 100% behind you." Lan Li expressed his opinion.
Andrei did not speak, just stared at Renly quietly, and then gently shook his head, accompanied by the action, a smile rose, "In short, you just want to leave your hands alone, right?"
Lan Li shrugged noncommittal, and then asked, "Then, do you expect me to help?"
Andre couldn't refute, and he shook his head repeatedly in protest, "I think there is a misunderstanding between us. I am the young master, not your housekeeper or financial manager."
Lan Li spread his hands and said solemnly, "Lord Andre~www.novelhall.com~ I am unswervingly defending your aristocratic status and social status. Believe me, I am serious."
Andre was a little frustrated, "Did I say? You are really a demon."
"Yes, you said it." Lan Li nodded in acknowledgment.
"..." Andre refused to continue entangled, otherwise he would feel like a stupid, from childhood to most of the time, he never seemed to be able to get rid of Lan Li's control, "I need Arthur to come and help. And Matthew, besides, I need to put your name on the position of president of Sisyphus Pictures."
Seeing that Lan Li was preparing to defend, this time Andre was the first to act first. "You know, I can't command Matthew. If you don't speak, he can't help me; so is Arthur. I need him to come to the United States, only you can convince him. And those guys in London, the company puts my name, they must think I am joking, I need your name to stand in front."
"Good." Lan Li said flatly.
Andre was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Lanly promised to be so neat. He hesitated slightly, "I also need you to go back to London to show up in person. One party, one party is enough. Those in the City Guys, all of them are old foxes. I need them to inject more capital. Your reputation will be better. I will bring Alexander here."
"Good." Lan Li nodded again.
On the contrary, Andre became more suspicious of such a good-spoken Renly.
Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle, "What else do you want? If you miss today, there will be no other opportunities."
"I want the snuff bottle with a picture of a lady of the Tang Dynasty in your collection."
"..."
"...Okay, okay, don't just do it. Don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in you, it's irritating."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
