Chapter 1775

"Well..." Andre's eyes fell on the list in front of him, and he made a pondering voice. He read very carefully and carefully, and his frowning brow could feel his concentration and devotion.

Andy can't help but look up at Andre, then slightly lowered his voice, "do you read a reason?"

Andre raised his eyebrows and replied calmly, "of course not." Andy was stunned by his natural expression, and then he nodded his head with a smile and agreed, "it's like a hill of projects. Then that gentleman picked out a lot of projects in a short month. To be honest, I don't think those projects can be finished even in half a year, so, How can I possibly know what these selected projects mean? "

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

"There's a label at the bottom." Matthew sat next to him and reminded him, "lenley made a note." Then he glanced at Andre. He didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious.

Andre immediately understood, straightened his chest, "how can I remember all the labels in high school. What's more, when I read Shakespeare before, Langley's notes looked like a Book of heaven. " At this point, Andre's memory became fresh again. "Remember Charlie and them? I secretly read Lan Li's reading notes and tried to copy them. As a result, I couldn't understand anything. Ha ha, those idiots

Andre and Matthew are bickering, but Andy's eyes fall on the bottom of the list, and he makes notes in different fonts.

However, it's not an imaginary label, but some strange labels like "storm", "Dove" and "green grass". It's like a Book of heaven.

"Andre?" Andy calls with question marks.

Andre looks back, perceives Andy's confused gaze, and he reads the note, "Oh, these are words in sonnets, representing different degrees of meaning. That's good. In high school, lanli used to use Latin poetry for annotation

Andy's head is full of black lines. He looks at lanli. "Is this the code?"

"Do you know what the value of this list is?" It's not Langley, it's Matthew.

There's no in-depth explanation, but all of you are smart people. You suddenly understand that the most valuable products in real life are intangible products, such as knowledge, such as brand, such as image, because these contents can't be simply measured by numbers. Obviously, the same is true for lanli. I'm afraid that the works selected under the "invincible aura" will be looted by the whole Hollywood, and it's not surprising that there will be commercial spies.

After reaction, Andy can't help laughing, "is this the treasure in" national treasure "or" Raider "

Andre read the list carefully again, thinking of the grand development plan of Sisyphus pictures, and gradually became serious: the value of this list is far beyond imagination. If there is such a list to ensure that all the above works can be 100% successful, what storm will Hollywood set off?

100% success?

This is Andre's trust in Langley. He didn't know how complicated, difficult and cumbersome the film making industry was, but he believed in lenley's unconditional success.

"Is there anything particular about these projects?" Andre got to the point, and then he realized, "Hey, Sebastian! Did you just read the script all the time? God

No wonder they didn't notice Lan Li's voice in the whole process. While they were arguing, the young master didn't mean to mix it. It's really

At this time, Lan Li raised his head and cast a puzzled look at Andre.

Andre stared at Lan Li quietly for a moment, and then he was defeated. "What's the point about these projects? I mean, considering the current situation of our capital chain and the rate of return, is there a sequence? "

That's the difference. The difference between self selection and company selection.

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

However, if lanli considers the company, the profit ratio and audience size must be the reference factors. For example, works like "orange", "Patterson" and "American sweetheart" are excellent and excellent, but they are doomed to fail in the award season and win the box office in the film market, which means that it is difficult to turn spending into gains——

Of course, that's why Langley and Andre mentioned the streaming media platform.

However, Sisyphus pictures is slightly different from other film companies. Andre's original intention of founding the company is not only to win profits, but also to try things in different fields. Just like the children of Bill Gates, they always try different businesses, and then explore their own way, As for the failure of the entrepreneurial process is acceptable. Andre's wear rate is also relatively high.

This also means that the early development of Sisyphus film does not need to focus on the interests, which makes the scope of work selection expanded to a certain extent.

For Andre's question, Langley immediately understood.

"No particular attention. However, considering the profit ratio, horror films and comedies are the fastest. You can take a closer look. " Lanli simply said, "these works are divided into three categories. Each category can win two to four works. The next two to three years' plan will come out."

"However, if you need to build a streaming media platform, there will be more. You can choose your works according to your planning needs." Before Andre and Andy could continue to speak, lenley added, "in addition, TV series are more viscous to the audience of streaming media, and more attractive to the early growth of subscribers, just like Netflix's" house of cards. "

This is determined by the special properties of the film. Now the film still emphasizes that it will be released in theaters. Only after it is offline can it be released online in video rental and online broadcasting. Even Netflix has not been able to change this situation for the time being, which also affects the timeliness of the film source; But TV series are different. They are originally played on small screens. They don't need to rely on box office, but on subscription or advertising.

On the one hand, the creation space of TV series begins to expand, and artists can win more freedom; On the other hand, the simultaneous launch of the streaming media platform or the release of the whole series will not affect the revenue, but will make the audience more enthusiastic.

Netflix is relying on the drama to open up the situation, and now Amazon is ready to do the same.

"Later, I've listed a number of series projects for your reference." However, the production system and cost calculation of the series are different. I am not familiar with them, so I have no way to accurately evaluate the feasibility. At present, my only understanding of TV series is "Pacific War", so... "

Andy immediately chuckled, "it's the highest investment drama in history, it can't be used as a reference standard."

Compared with movies, the production cost of TV series can even be said to be low. Five million US dollars for an independent film is said to be ultra-low cost, but TV series can produce three to five episodes; Even now, the cost of a well-produced TV series reaches five million dollars, which is very, very few. The exception is the "game of power" series, most of which are very thrifty.

On the one hand, the cost of special effects for TV series 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. No matter on average or at the highest level, the actors in TV series are far lower than those in movies.

But on the contrary, the income of TV series is far from equal to that of movies. In terms of revenue ratio, it's not a simple question whether TV is better or movies stay ahead; But at least to be sure, compared with the most top TV series and the most top movies, it is obvious that the profit ratio of movies is higher.

Andre is just beginning to learn about movies, but he is even less familiar with TV series. He hands Andy the list in his hand and says, "is the whole process simpler than movies in drama production?"

Andy pondered for a moment, "it should be said that the operability is greater. It can be understood that in the case of a movie, we can't make a trailer to let the film company see the effect. We can only rely on our own experience to make a judgment. This is also the reason why producers like Steven Spielberg and Langley can get more trust. They have proved their vision and ability and ensured the bottom line of the work. "

"On the other hand, TV series can produce a navigation album, which costs 100000 US dollars at a low price and 500000 US dollars at a high price. This basically touches the ceiling. The navigation album with millions of US dollars is a special case. You see, the TV station can enjoy the navigation series, see whether they like it and whether it can succeed, and then decide whether the series is officially put into production. What's more, they can book a full season, a half season, or even just eight or six episodes to see how they react and then decide on the follow-up. "

Andy's easy to understand explanation immediately made Andre understand, took over the topic and said, "if it's successful, then renew the second season; If it fails, cancel it. That's the truth, isn't it? "

Andy gently jaw head expressed approval, "this is also the user stickiness that lanli said. A successful series can attract a large number of loyal users. In order to watch the second and third seasons, the number of paid subscribers is bound to rise. But the premise is that the show has to be successful. "
