"...The only requirement is that he wants you to be a producer for Disney and be responsible for naming several works..."
This is the only additional requirement that Bob Iger made during the negotiation process. As expected, he planned a more long-term and more ambitious blueprint. Rogue One made concessions in terms of remuneration, and the price was a blue gift. The "undefeated halo"-can be said simply and crudely, it is equivalent to "selling" Lan Li's reputation and prestige with a three million increase in remuneration, and escorting Disney's subsequent works.
More importantly, Bob believes that Lanly has no reason to refuse.
In the recent period, Lanly has moved frequently, uniting Warner Bros., Sony Classics and Disney. The purpose is to create a momentum in the industry, and then form an absolute advantage over Thomas Tour and Van Diesel; and now, Disney is not only satisfied The conditions of Lanli, and it goes even further: the producer titles of many Disney works, whether it is real power or fictitious name, means that Disney has pushed Lanli's power to the higher top of the pyramid.
It is difficult for Renly to refuse such a deal.
As for Disney itself, the so-called "producer" is just a title. They can decide whether to adopt Lan Li’s opinions based on the specific circumstances of the specific project. For some works, they can borrow Lan Li’s fictitious name; while for some works, You can let Renly do the actual operation. In the process of cooperation, Disney has the initiative.
In other words, although Lan Li does not need to sign multiple works at one go like the superheroes of Marvel movies, he still needs to act as a "colle worker" in another way to develop a more long-term cooperation with Disney.
This also confirms Lan Li’s previous conjecture that his "undefeated halo" and "EGOT halo" are becoming alternative bargaining chips, just like brand value image, Disney sacrificed a small part of the number of remuneration benefits, but through brand value. Complete recovery-Obviously the value of the latter cannot be simply calculated by numbers. Bob's abacus is more sophisticated than anyone.
"Ha, don't they worry about me becoming the next Thomas Tour?" Lan Li didn't expect to be angry and annoyed, but instead laughed happily.
Andy's mood even lightened a little, "Because you cherish feathers more than Thomas."
"No-name producers are just no-names. Steven Spielberg's famous works are not one hundred or eighty. Among them, there are countless miserable works, but no one will blame Steven." Lan Li still watched. Got to open, said in a relaxed tone.
Andy didn't buy it at all, "That means, would you like to nod?"
The focus has never been on naming or real power, but Bob’s temptation-this means that Bob is groping for the bottom line of Lan Li. Once Lan Li surrenders, then the future will inevitably be implemented in black and white, and then Lan Li must be subject to It’s Disney, whether it’s three or five works, this has tied Lan Li to Disney.
Bob's abacus is definitely not that simple.
To Andy's surprise, Lan Li raised his eyebrows and gently chin to express his approval, "Why not?" But Andy still showed a questioning expression, Lan Li then said, "The premise is, Match my schedule. If my schedule is not appropriate, then even the name producer doesn’t count."
What is this calculation? Even if the blue gift can be postponed in a scheduled manner, as long as the agreement is signed, it will have legal effect. Sooner or later, it must be fulfilled. It can be postponed for one year or two, but it cannot be postponed forever.
It's impossible for Lan Li to not know this, so what is Lan Li's subtext?
Andy did not continue to guess, but directly asked, "What is meant by inappropriate scheduling?"
"You lacked a little patience tonight." Lan Li was still in that slow manner, which made Andy pause, then chuckled lightly, did not speak, and made an invitation gesture, neither did Lan Li. Going around in circles, I briefly explained part of the actions and plans of Sisyphus Pictures during his stay in Park City.
The ambition of Sisyphus Pictures is a very, very large plan-to be precise, it should be that the blueprint drawn by Renly for Sisyphus Pictures is extremely ambitious. At this stage, it is still in a state of confidentiality. Andre still needs More preparation and thinking time, and then complete the preliminary preparations. If it is not necessary, the less people know the better, no one can predict whether it will be out of the question.
Lan Li is willing to inform Andy, the first is out of trust, and the second is out of cooperation.
In Sisyphus Pictures' huge plan, relying solely on the abilities of Renly and Andre is not enough to open the situation. They need the help of the entire team, and Renly also hopes that Andy can be one of them.
Andy watched Lan Li quietly, without speaking, as if he was digesting.
Renly was not in a hurry. He picked up the coffee cup again and added, "Andre is discussing the possibility of future cooperation with Sundance in Park City. He will come to Los Angeles next week and will meet with Sony at that time. Things can have a clear outline, and it's only in our conceptual stage."
In other words, it's just a matter of fact. It's still unknown whether it can make the trip, and to what extent it can be achieved.
Andy still didn't speak, watching the blue gift slowly savoring coffee, and asked, "What cooperation is Andre discussing with Robert Redford?"
"Oh, it's just an idea." Lan Li still held the coffee cup, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and looked relaxed and comfortable, as if he was discussing what dessert coffee should go with. "If we have our own streaming media platform, I think So, maybe we can open an independent film or art film channel, and then cooperate with the film festival, and put all the works that are not favored by distributors on the platform."
For independent films, it is still the best choice to enter theatrical channels through a distribution company. Lan Li knows this deeply and he also supports this; but not all films can stand out, which also means Therefore, every year's film festival is bound to leave many regrets. Some works may never be able to meet the audience, and the creators' efforts have been put to waste.
Not to mention, Damien Chazele’s "Burst Drummer" is just like that. In order to raise funds, he made a short film and won an award on Sundance, but no one cares about it. For works like this, if they can log on to the streaming media online platform, it means that they have received more attention——
Creators can get a part of monetary return, although the amount will not be too much, it is at least a breakthrough; more importantly, their artistic creation can be shown to the public, and their talents may even get a certain producer. His appreciation, and then win more creative opportunities.
Andy feels that his brain is like a mess, and now he can't think at all: Issuing channels? Online streaming? Create an original film library? Cooperating with film festivals to establish independent film channels? Where and where are all this!
"Now Andre is discussing the possibility with Robert. If Robert is willing to cooperate, then the streaming media library resources will have a clear direction, which is very important for the early positioning; and Robert also knows on Wall Street. Many important people, he can help a lot."
Lan Li is still explaining the situation without hesitation, "By the way, I am going to Berlin in early February. I want to ask if Dieter has the intention to join the streaming media platform."
Dieter-Kosslick (Dieter-Kosslick), the current chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, has been the chairman since he took office in 2001. He is a filmmaker by the background of a journalist and film critic. His persistence and dedication to art films have run through the development of the Berlin Film Festival in the past ten years.
Although Renly has a good relationship with the three major European film festivals, Berlin is always special. When he landed at the festival with "detachment", Renly was also invited to participate in academic seminars and got acquainted with many European films. People can feel the deep artistic and cultural atmosphere inside and out.
However, the Berlin Film Festival is gradually withering because of its own artistic persistence. Now many excellent works of art are more eager to go to Cannes~www.novelhall.com~ not because Cannes recognizes art more, but because Cannes can win more exhibition space and Platform, which means that works of art can get more opportunities.
If the Berlin Film Festival is willing to cooperate with Sisyphus Pictures' streaming media, then perhaps both parties can open the door to a whole new world and open up more possibilities.
Sundance first, then Berlin?
Andy couldn't help but shook his head, a helpless and ridiculous smile rose on the corner of his mouth, and finally rubbed his face in annoyance, picked up his coffee cup, took a big sip, the whole cheek was because the coffee was too hot The entanglement was twisted, but finally he recovered a little sober.
"Jesus Christ!"
This is Andy’s only reaction now, because he was too shocked, but now he calmed down quickly, "I now finally know why you can sit on an equal footing with Bob."
Compared to Bob's strength, Andy thought he knew Renly very well, but now he found that he had only dug out the tip of the iceberg, and the shock was even more turbulent.
Andy laughed again, "Oh, my God! So what you mean is that you yourself will be very busy next, and you don’t necessarily have time to work with Disney, right? Then you are not afraid to offend Disney? Obviously Signed a formal agreement, but left them aside, busy with their own affairs?"
What's more, Disney also has its own streaming media platform and will be a competitor in the future, so it is even more dissatisfied with Lan Li's "stabbing in the back" behavior.
"Andy, this is the mall." Lan Li said with a smile, "What's more, if you pass on my condition to Bob, do you think he will not notice the abnormality? Those troubles in Sundance, they too It’s not ignorant."
"Then... what should I do?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
