Chapter 1781

One billion dollars is indeed a huge amount, but from a step back, the name of "Langley hall" has far more appeal than one billion dollars. This is true in London and Hollywood.

"As I said before, it depends on whether Langley is willing to go back to London for a walk." When he heard Matthew's proposal, Andre also looked at lanli with a smile and joked with ease.

Even Andy, who sat beside him and pondered for a moment, said in agreement, "if that's true, I still have some small savings."

Andre and Matthew are slightly surprised to cast their eyes at Andy, Andy can detect their accident, he can't help joking, "don't look at me so expectantly, I may change my mind at any time." Andy then explained, "I'm also looking for investment opportunities. Venture capital is a good choice. If it's an investment in lanli, I'm familiar with the deal. It's a trustworthy investment. "

In a pun, Andy once again shows his trust in Langley.

However, Lan Li shook his head slightly. A light radian rose on the corner of his mouth. A little touch filled his whole chest. The warmth was surging slowly. Not long ago, he still had no way to trust Andre and Arthur, but now they sent the signal in a more direct way, which made LAN Li lose his attitude.

However, Lan Li controlled himself in time. He didn't show it on the surface. He responded in a joking way, "you put all the pressure on my shoulders like this, but you have to suffer losses. If you lose money at that time, you really have nothing."

Matthew said faintly, "it doesn't matter. I know your home address and bank password."

The light expression creates a strong negative effect of cold humor, which makes Andy and Andre both smile.

Lan Li gently shrugged his shoulders, "careless in making friends."

Andre took over with a smile, "why don't you just use your name for the venture capital fund? Although we are closely related to Sisyphus pictures, if we use the same name directly, other people may not be able to really trust us. It's simpler and more direct to use your name. "

Hall venture capital.

"I personally have no objection, provided that, please do not use my name to create a Ponzi scheme, OK?" Langley joked in a relaxed manner, then looked at Andre, "I know your home address, too. More importantly, I know your brother. "

Andre, with his head full of black lines, turned a white eye at lanli speechlessly. Then he directly ignored lanli's ridicule, "I'll finish the deal with Sony next, buy the crack, and then prepare for the follow-up. So, do you have any further suggestions for film and drama projects? "

"No Lanli shook his head cleanly, without hesitation for a second. "First, you are busy with the crack and the venture capital fund. Then Andy and Arthur are responsible for the budget of these projects, and choose the right works. As long as they are within the budget, they can directly put into shooting and production."

"Now that we are ready to build our own streaming media platform, the more original works, the better. I'll talk to Robert and Ethan on the phone and discuss the possibility of establishing our own Sundance channel, or an independent film channel. In fact, we can also consider cooperating with other independent film companies to let them put their works on our streaming media platform. "

Lanli said casually, then noticed Andy and Andre's strange eyes, but he was full of natural, "what's wrong? We are independent film companies. Different from those large film companies, we will certainly stick to this path in the future. If other companies of the same type are willing to share the source copyright with us, why not

Lanli's way of thinking is pure filmmaker mode.

But Andy and Andre are business models: features! Lanli just inadvertently said the unique features of Sisyphus film streaming media platform.

Every product or brand needs a feature to open up the situation, and streaming media platform is no exception - or even more so, especially the extremely competitive network platform. Otherwise, why does Netflix insist on expanding its original content library?

Sisyphus film's streaming media platform has fallen behind a lot of competitors, not to mention whether they want to catch up with and surpass their competitors. Even if they have a firm foothold in the industry, they need to have a clearer positioning and thinking. Obviously, Langley has just inadvertently given this framework.

"I think it's better to call our streaming media platform Don Quixote?" Andre's whole thought became clear. "Don Quixote seems more suitable than Sisyphus, don't you think?"

Don Quixote and Sisyphus are both tragic characters, one trapped in his own illusory idealism, the other trapped in a cruel cycle that can never be completed. The difference is that Don Quixote is a dreamer who is defeated by reality; Sisyphus is an executor who refuses to give up until he reaches the finish line.

Matthew and Andy have no opinion, but turn their eyes to lanli.

Blue Li gently jaw head, "of course, why not?"

In fact, the name of streaming media platform is just a symbol, and it is the content that really determines the development prospect. This is a platform where content is king. However, Andre's meaning can not be more clear: the name is positioning, but also features. It clearly defines their development direction and keynote at the beginning, which is undoubtedly very important information for subscribers.

Then, Andy and Andre put forward some questions about the two project lists. After determining the basic direction, they left one by one.

Once again, only Langley and Matthew were left in the apartment.

The quietness after the noise and noise disappeared made the mood slowly settle down. Lanli began to read the script again. Although two lists have been listed and most of the project mountain has been emptied, there are still about sixty or seventy projects that have not been read, and lanli still needs to complete them.

Subconsciously, he reached out to look for the red wine cup, but fumbled for a long time out of thin air. He was surprised not to find it. When he looked up, he found that the tea table had been cleaned up, and the red wine and the red wine cup had disappeared; Then you can see Matthew coming with the tea set and the fragrance of tea lingering in the room.

"You drink too much today." Matthew put the tea set on the coffee table and said in a deep voice.

"Is it?" Lan Li thought about it carefully, and then realized that he had drunk a lot unconsciously. No wonder now his ears began to burn slightly.

Matthew put the cup in front of blue, "I made green tea. And two drops of vinegar. "

As soon as the voice fell, he saw blue Li's frowning slightly, showing his dislike. Nevertheless, blue Li took a cup of tea and drank it gracefully. Then Matthew said, "do you need a biscuit?"

Lan Li didn't answer. He grabbed a biscuit from the porcelain plate.

Matthew also readjusted his sitting posture and sorted out the pamphlets scattered on the sofa and tea table. "Do you regret it?" Without warning, Matthew asked, "you just want to be an actor, don't you?"

"Peter Parker just wants to be a high school student." Langley said jokingly, then he was silent, chewing the biscuit carefully, and then he said, "I'm still an actor now. You know, sometimes I miss the days when I was filming "buried alive" and "Crazy". It's not that fame and popularity are cumbersome, but that life at that time was simpler and purer. Just like everyone misses their childhood, we all think we miss those playful times, but in fact we miss those carefree years. "

"Your childhood didn't seem carefree either." Matthew Tucao to make complaints about it.

Lan Li laughed, "I've been seen through. But you know what I mean. I just simply feel that sometimes it's good to live simply. " After another pause, the corners of Langley's mouth rose and his eyes brightened again. "But didn't Peter Parker's uncle say that? The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. After all, we need to grow up and bear our own corresponding responsibilities. Some are family responsibilities, some are corporate responsibilities, and some are social responsibilities. "

Matthew was quietly watching blue.

Everyone thinks that the creation of Sisyphus film and the top of the Hollywood pyramid is a matter of boundless scenery, but it is not a necessary burden for Langley. Although it's a bit ungrateful to say that, after all, lanli's brilliance is the envy of countless people, and most of them can't reach the height of their life; But there is such a saying: to be benevolent is the goal of "everyone", but it is not necessarily the height of Lan Li's pursuit.

Your honey, my arsenic. Although this description is not appropriate, it also proves that different positions and different attitudes lead to different perspectives on the same thing. Sisyphus pictures, in a way, is a burden for lanli. Even if it is a sweet burden, it is still a burden.

"I'm an actor. It used to be, it is now, and it will still be in the future. The only difference is that I am now within my power to create a better environment for independent films, hoping that more don Quixotes can realize their dreams. From another point of view, it's actually to create a better performance environment for myself, isn't it? "

If you can, no one wants to grow up; But the reality is that everyone will grow up, and everyone will die. Short life can explain many different possibilities, so why not choose a positive one?

"I think I'm lucky," he said with a smile. That's a good thing. "

"Well." Matthew didn't say much, he just picked up his cup. Two people quietly taste tea, but the taste of tea in the tip of the tongue, only their own ability to know.
