"Hmm..." Andrei's gaze fell on the list in front of him, faintly moaning, reading very carefully and very seriously, and his slightly frowned brow could feel his concentration and devotion.

Andy couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Andre, then lowered his voice slightly, "So why did you read one?"

Andre raised his eyebrows and answered frankly, "Of course not." The natural expression made Andy stunned, and then smiled and nodded in agreement, "It's like a hill-like project, and then that A gentleman selected a lot of them in just one month. To be honest, I don’t think you can finish reading those items even in half a year, so how can I know what these selected items really mean? ."

Andy was relieved, "I can read every word in front of me, but I don't have any idea of ​​what it means when combined. Suddenly I have doubts about my work."

"There is a mark at the bottom." Matthew reminded sitting next to him, "Len Li made a comment." Then he glanced at Andre, did not speak, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Andre immediately understood it and straightened his chest, "How could I remember all the markings in high school. What's more, when I was reading Shakespeare before, Renly's notes looked like books from the heavens." Having said this, Andre's memory became alive again, "Remember Charlie and the others? Secretly flipping through Lanly's reading notes, trying to plagiarize, but I couldn't understand anything, haha, those idiots!"

When Andre and Matthew were bickering, Andy's eyes fell directly below the list, and he made a note in a different font.

However, it is not an imaginary label, but a strange label such as "storm", "white dove", and "green grass", which reads like a heavenly book.

"Andre?" Andy called out with question marks.

Andre looked back and noticed Andy's confused gaze. He also read the remarks, "Oh, these are the words in the sonnet, representing different degrees of meaning. This is not bad, before In high school, Lan Li used Latin poetry as an annotation."

Andy was full of black lines and looked at Lan Li, "Is this a password?"

"Do you know the value of this list?" It was not Lan Li who answered, but Matthew.

There is no in-depth explanation, but everyone here is smart, and they all understand: the most valuable in real life are often intangible products, such as knowledge, brand, and image, because these contents cannot be simply measured by numbers. The same is true for Lan Li. The works selected under the "invincible halo" may be snatched by the entire Hollywood, and it is not surprising that commercial espionage appears.

After reacting, Andy couldn't help but laughed, "Is this the treasure in the "National Treasure" or "Indiana Jones"?"

Andre once again carefully read the list he was working on, thinking of the grand development plan of Sisyphus Pictures, and his expression gradually became serious: the value of this list that came out of the blue ceremony was far beyond imagination. If there is such a list to ensure that all the above works can guarantee 100% success, then what storm will the whole Hollywood set off?

100% success?

This is Andre's trust in Renly. He doesn't know how complicated, difficult and cumbersome the filmmaking industry is, but he believes in Renly, unconditionally.

"Is there anything special about these projects?" Andre cut to the point, and then he realized, "Hey, Sebastian! Have you been reading the script just now? God!"

It's no wonder that Lan Li's voice was not noticed during the whole process just now. When they were arguing, the young master didn't mean to blend in at all. It's really...

Lan Li raised his head at this time and cast a suspicious look at Andre.

Andre stared at Lanli quietly for a moment, and then he was defeated, "Are there any particulars about these projects? I mean, considering our current capital chain status and the rate of return, is there any order? ?"

This is the difference. The difference between selecting works by yourself and selecting works by the company.

If Lan Li is only for his own consideration, then all he needs to pay attention to is the role, script and performance, and so on.

But if Lanly considers for the company, the profit ratio and the audience must become the reference factors. For example, works like "Orange", "Patterson", and "American Sweetheart" are all excellent, very good, but they are also destined to be unable to emerge in the awards season or win the box office in the movie market. It means that expenditures are difficult to convert into gains-

Of course, this is why Lanly and Andre mentioned the streaming media platform.

However, Sisyphus Pictures is slightly different from other film companies. Andre’s original intention of creating the company was that in addition to earning profits, he still wanted to try things in different fields-just like Bill Gates’ children. The same, more or less always try different entrepreneurship, and then find out your own path, as for the failure in the entrepreneurial process is acceptable. Andre's wear rate is also relatively high.

This also means that there is no need for Sisyphus Films to focus on profit in the early stage of development, which allows the selection of works to be expanded to a certain extent.

Regarding Andrei's question, Lan Li immediately understood it.

"There is no special emphasis. However, considering the profit ratio, horror and comedy films are the fastest, you can take a closer look." Lan Li simply said, "I divided these works into three categories. Each category can After winning two to four works, the plan for the next two to three years will come out."

"However, if you need to build a streaming media platform, then the number needs to be more. You can choose works according to your planning needs." Lan Li added, before Andre and Andy continue to speak, Lan Li He went on to say, "In addition, TV series are more sticky to streaming audiences, and are more attractive to the initial growth of subscribers, just like Netflix's "House of Cards"."

This is determined by the special attributes of the movie. Nowadays, movies still emphasize on theatrical screenings. Only after they are offline, will they be released on video tape rental and online playback one after another. Even Netflix has not been able to change this situation for the time being, which also makes the timeliness of the film source. Affected; but TV shows are different. They are originally broadcast on small screens and do not need to rely on the box office to make a living, but on subscriptions or advertisements.

Because there is no need to rely on the box office, this has also changed the creative mode of drama series. On the one hand, the creative space of TV dramas has begun to expand, and artists can win more freedom; on the other hand, streaming media platforms are simultaneously online, or a whole series of dramas. Let it go in one breath, this will not affect the income, but will make the favorite audience more enthusiastic.

Netflix relied on the drama to open the situation, and now Amazon is also preparing to do so.

"In the following, I have listed some drama projects, you can refer to them." Lan Li continued, "However, the production system and cost calculation of the drama are different. I am not very familiar with it, so what is the feasibility? There is no way to make an accurate assessment. The only thing I know about TV shows is the Pacific War, so..."

Andy chuckled immediately, "It's the highest-invested drama in history and cannot be used as a reference standard."

Compared with movies, the production cost of TV series can even be said to be low, five million dollars to shoot an independent film, everyone says it is ultra-low cost, but TV series can be produced from three to five episodes; even if it is. Nowadays, well-produced TV series cost 5 million US dollars for one episode. That is a very, very small number-"Game of Thrones" is an exception. Most of the series are very diligent and thrifty.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the cost of special effects for TV shows is lower, while the cost of computer special effects for movies continues to soar; on the other hand, it is because the cost of actors is lower, whether on average or at the highest level. Look, TV drama actors are far below movie actors.

But on the other hand, the revenue of TV dramas is far from being comparable to that of movies. In terms of revenue ratio, it is not a simple question whether the TV is better or the movie stays ahead~www.novelhall.com~ This is not a simple question; but at least it is certain that the top TV series are compared with the top movies, so obviously Still, the profit ratio of movies is higher.

Andre is just getting started with movies, and he lacks even more knowledge about TV dramas. He passed the list in his hands to Andy, "In terms of drama production, the whole process is simpler than that of movies?"

Andy groaned, "It should be said that it is more maneuverable. It can be understood that, in the case of a movie, we can't shoot a trailer, let the film company see how effective it is, and can only make judgments based on our own experience. This is also the reason why producers such as Steven Spielberg and Renly can get more trust. They have proved their vision and ability and ensured the bottom line of the work."

"On the other hand, a TV series can produce a navigation set. If it is low, it is 100,000 U.S. dollars, and if it is high, it is 500,000 U.S. dollars. This basically touches the ceiling. The million-dollar navigation set is a special case. You see, TV stations can. Appreciate the navigation series, see if you like it, and whether it can be successful, and then decide whether the series will be officially put into production. Furthermore, they can book a full season, or a half season, or even only eight or six episodes. Look at the broadcast response, and then decide on the follow-up."

Andy's simple and easy-to-understand explanation immediately made Andre understood, and took over the topic and said, "If it succeeds, then renew the second season; if it fails, just cancel it. That's the truth, right?"

Andy gently chinked his head in agreement, "This is also what Renly said is user stickiness. A set of successful episodes can attract a very large number of loyal users. In order to watch the second and third seasons, pay The number of subscribers will inevitably rise. But the prerequisite is that the episode must be successful."
