The actions of Sisyphus Pictures have really attracted a lot of attention in Hollywood, but things seem to be a little different from what you imagined. Both the selection of works and the development policy deviate slightly from the expected trajectory.

However, after serious consideration, things can still find a certain pattern.

The investment budget of "Female Spy" slightly exceeded expectations, but overall, it is still a medium-scale investment, and it is a comedy work. It has similarities with the horror movie "It's Behind". They all have specific fan groups and are often able to To create a miracle with small gains, even if the box office numbers are mediocre, relying on the support of exclusive fans will not be too embarrassing. This is the best choice for independent film companies at the beginning of their establishment.

"Wild Hunter" is a work that breaks the rules and breaks the guesswork, but it has a similar pattern like the "Nightcrawler": an artistic style that fits Lanli; in addition, there is a bonus for friendship.

The "Nightcrawler" is Jack Gyllenhaal, and the "Wild Hunter" is Leonardo DiCaprio. At the same time, Alessandro Gonzalez-Inarito also passed Fonso-Caron completed the tie-up, which has further added a bargaining chip to persuade Lan Li. Although the investment cost of "Wild Hunter" is indeed outrageous, which is much higher than that of "Nightcrawler", this is not a problem for Lan Li.

It is worth mentioning that "Wild Hunter" is only a formal project in Sisyphus Pictures, and there are still many issues that need to be discussed. At present, it is only in the preliminary preparations. Alessandro is choosing a suitable shooting location and different shooting locations. The cost budget is different, which has an important impact on the overall budget of the crew.

Why do many film crews like to go to Atlanta and Pittsburgh or simply go to Canada for filming? The state/government where the former is located has introduced tax exemptions for film and television crews, while the latter is that the overall prices are slightly lower. Don’t underestimate these small exemptions. For the crew, it is millions or tens of millions of cost savings; for the state where the filming is located, it can create more jobs and generate income through tourism, which is a win-win strategy.

Later, California also introduced related tax exemption policies, hoping to keep more crews behind. The state/government will draw lots for candidate TV drama projects every year, and randomly select projects that can be tax-free. Some TV stations had originally decided to cancel, but because they were selected for tax exemption, the cost could be greatly reduced. TV stations decided to renew and give the TV series another chance. This also allowed many TV series to survive.

In short, the location of the filming is a vital part of the cost budget. This also means that there are still many variables in the "wilder hunter". Obviously, Sisyphus Pictures also needs to be cautious about the investment cost of 100 million US dollars. Before the filming is officially launched, everything is possible.

As a result, the matter returned to the original prediction of the industry: the establishment and existence of Sisyphus Pictures, in the final analysis, is for Renly to freely choose film projects.

Although people in the industry have noticed the frequent actions of Sisyphus Pictures, because of the relationship between Renli, everyone has a preconceived notion and assumes that Sisyphus Pictures is equated with Brad- Pete's Plan A Films, Tom Cruise's Tom Cruise Films, naturally, this also led to deviations in subsequent thinking.

In this way, whether it is the "Female Spy" and "It Behind", or the "Wild Hunter" and "Nightcrawler", they have indeed created a lot of waves, and they have also triggered a lot of discussions between faintly, but they have not been able to truly In a sense, it triggered the vigilance of the film company, and no one was able to completely connect a series of actions at the previous Sundance Film Festival.

Even Andre, Andy, and others did not expect Lanli's grand blueprint and unparalleled execution ability. How could other people in the industry be able to easily see through it?

But in fact, under the cover of "Female Spy", "Wild Hunter", "It's Behind" and other works, Sisyphus Pictures secretly still has some actions that have not been discovered.

The first is the official establishment of Hall Venture Capital in Silicon Valley. Throughout Silicon Valley, there are countless venture capital funds. Almost every day, old players quit the game and new players join the game. Before new players make waves, few people will pay close attention to their attention. Robin Helzer officially took office and started the preliminary work.

The second is the transformation of the online broadcasting platform "crack". In the past two months, Arthur had frequent exchanges between the North American continent and the European continent, quietly set up a team, formally established an online playback platform department under Sisyphus Pictures, and started " Reconstruction and transformation of the "Don Quixote" channel.

These actions are all happening under the nose of Hollywood, but because they are currently in the preparatory stage, all actions are happening behind the scenes, there is not much substantial progress yet, and even the movement is not obvious, so there is no such thing for the time being. Can attract any attention.

Sisyphus Pictures is making preparations and layouts step by step. The most rare thing is that, although the grandeur of the blueprint and the exaggeration have far exceeded expectations, Andre is still not too impatient, and strides to try to catch up. The progress, instead, after calming down, gradually adjust the development plan, and carry out the implementation with ease, which is far from the mainstream Hollywood impression of "outsiders" and "people are stupid and rich in money".

In fact, after the first round of financing by Andre and Arthur, and the second round of financing by Ren Li and a group of friends, including Rooney Mara, Jessica Chastain, and Ryan Goss Lin, Paul Walker, Jack Gyllenhaal, Rami Marek, Robert Redford, Alfonso Caron, Chris Evans, the Cohen brothers, etc., etc., Hall Wind The funds on the existing books have exceeded 500 million U.S. dollars.

In other words, if Robin Helzer agrees, if Andre Hamilton is willing, Sisyphus Pictures has the ability to move forward at full speed, not to mention a "wilder hunter", they can absolutely Resolutely launched a comprehensive investment and comprehensive development.

But they did not.

Because they knew exactly how huge Lanly’s plan was, there was no need to rush it now. Rather than striving for a glorious moment, it is better to lay a solid foundation in the early stage, just like the foundation of a tall building. Only when the foundation is well laid can the future development be able to advance at a high speed and efficiency.

Therefore, apart from the "Night Crawler" currently being filmed, only one work of "Female Spy" has been put into production. "It's Behind" and "Wild Hunter" are just projects for the time being, and they didn't rush into the production link immediately. In addition, Sisyphus Pictures has quietly identified several other projects.

Movies, including "Focus", "Orange", "Patterson", "Border Killer", "Carol", "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl", "Awesome" and " After turning off the lights" wait.

From a quantitative point of view, it is quite a lot, but the investment cost is actually not high. There are only three projects with a cost budget of more than 10 million, "Border Killer", "Focus" and "Carol". The budget structure of the works is similar. The first is shooting on the spot, and the second is the cast, which drives up the cost. The cost budgets of other projects are less than five million, and the cheapest "orange" is only four hundred thousand.

In terms of TV dramas, it includes two projects, "Stranger Things" and "Running in the Night".

Although there are only two projects, the preparatory work is extremely cumbersome, because Sisyphus Pictures needs to start from scratch. They don’t have their own studio, their own shooting team, and their own casting channels. Everything must be done from scratch. Start slowly to build. Of course, once the situation is opened, the follow-up filming of the TV series will proceed all the way with ease, and things will not be so cumbersome.

Among them, the cost budget of "Stranger Things" is about 20 million, and the cost budget of "Sin Night Run" is controlled between 25 million and 30 million. The difference lies in the production team. The lineup of "Sin Night Run" is extremely strong, including two top big names, Steven Zelian and Richard-press. The former created "Sin Dele’s list ~www.novelhall.com~ The latter is involved in the screenwriting of "FireWire".

But TV dramas are still at the stage of talking on paper, and the budgeted cost is only an estimate, which may change at any time.

It is worth mentioning that "Sin Night Rush" is a project that Arthur Hall personally took out and grabbed his teeth from hbo. Even under the sign of Lan Li, they don’t know how Arthur did it. , I just faintly heard that Steven Spielberg played an important role in it.

Eight film projects, two television projects, all projects are now in the project stage, but ten projects are moving forward in an orderly manner. Before the official production, and even before the official selection of the cast of the cast, there may be a lot of work to be done slowly, and there are still many variables, but Sisyphus Pictures still shows a thriving and busy scene.

Not only in March after the Oscars ended, in fact, from January to June, throughout the first half of 2014, Sisyphus Pictures did a lot of action.

However, because of the preconceived and fixed thinking mode, Hollywood industry insiders have paid close attention to them, but they have never really been vigilant. In addition, before June, Sisyphus Pictures only had "Night Crawlers" and "Female Spies." The three works of "It Behind You" and "It's Behind" have been put into production. The "wilder hunter" that has been rumored to be a project has been silent for a long time. Alessandro is still tirelessly looking for suitable shooting locations, which has even more let the industry insiders We feel at ease.

As a result, although it has attracted much attention and is under the nose of the entire Hollywood, Sisyphus Films was able to start the preparatory work at its own pace.

However, these things seem to have nothing to do with Lan Li.
