"Well..." Andre's eyes fell on the list in front of him, and he made a faint sound of pondering. He read very carefully and seriously. His slightly frown brows could feel his concentration and dedication.

Andy couldn't help but look up at Andre, then lowered his voice slightly, "You read one, why?"

Andre raised his eyebrows and replied frankly, "Of course not." The natural expression made Andy stunned, then smiled and nodded in agreement, "It was like a hill, and then the gentleman picked a lot of projects in just one month. To be honest, I think those projects may not be able to be read even in half a year, so how could I know what these selected projects mean?"

Andy was relieved, "I can understand every word in front of me, but I have no idea what it means to combine it. Suddenly I became suspicious of my work."

"There is a mark at the bottom." Matthew sat next to him and reminded, "Lanley made annotations." Then he glanced at Andre, without saying anything, but the meaning was obvious.

Andre immediately realized it and straightened his chest, "How could I remember all the marks in high school? What's more, when I was reading Shakespeare, Lanley's notes looked like the book of heaven." Speaking of this, Andre's memory became vivid again, "Do you still remember Charlie and the others? I secretly looked through Lanley's reading notes and tried to plagiarize, but I couldn't understand anything, haha, those idiots!"

While Andre and Matthew were bickering, Andy's eyes fell directly below the list, and he did make notes in different fonts.

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

"Andre?" Andy called out with a question mark.

Andre turned around and noticed Andy's confused gaze. He also read the notes, "Oh, these are the words in the sonnets, representing different degrees of meaning. This is pretty good. In high school, Lanli used Latin poetry to mark the meaning."

Andy looked at Lanli with a black line, "Is this a password?"

"Do you know how much the list is worth?" The answer was not Renley, but Matthew.

There is no in-depth explanation, but all the smart people here immediately understand: the most valuable things in real life are often intangible products, such as knowledge, brands, and images, because these contents cannot be simply measured by numbers. Obviously, the same is true for Lan Li. The works selected under the "undefeated halo" are probably scrambled to the whole Hollywood, and it is not surprising that commercial spies appear.

After reacting, Andy couldn't help laughing, "Is this considered a treasure in the 'National Treasure' or 'Raiders of the Treasure Ark'?"

Andre read the list in his hand carefully again, thinking of Sisyphus Films' grand development plan, and his expression gradually became serious: this list of the list that was drawn from the big waves of the blue straits is far more valuable than imagined. If there is such a list that ensures that all the above works can be guaranteed to be 100% successful, then what kind of storm will the entire Hollywood cause?

100% successful?

This is Andre’s trust in Renli. He didn’t know how complex, difficult and cumbersome the film production industry was, but he believed Renli, unconditionally.

"Is there anything particularly particular about these projects?" Andre cut into the main point, and then he realized, "Hey, Sebastian! Are you reading the script all the time? God!"

No wonder I didn't notice Lan Li's voice all the way. While they were arguing, the young master had no intention of mixing up at all. It's really...

Lan Li raised her head and cast a puzzled look at Andrei.

Andre stared at Lan Li quietly for a moment, and then lost, "Is there anything special about these projects? I mean, considering our current capital chain and the return rate, is there a sequence?"

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

If Lanley is just for his own consideration, then all he needs to pay attention to is the role, scripts and performances, etc.

But if Lanley considers the company, the revenue ratio and audience must be a reference factor. For example, works such as "Orange", "Patterson", and "American Sweetheart" are all excellent and excellent, but they are also destined to not be able to emerge during the awards season or win box office in the film market, which means that it is difficult to convert expenses into gains

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

However, Sisyphus Pictures is slightly different from other film companies. Andre's original intention of establishing a company was not only to win profits, but also to try things in different fields, just like Bill Gates' children. They have to try different entrepreneurship to a greater or lesser extent, and then find their own paths. As for failures in the entrepreneurship process, they are acceptable. Andre's loss rate is also relatively high.

This also means that there is no need to focus on interests in the early development of Sisyphus Pictures, which has expanded the scope of work selection to a certain extent.

Renli immediately understood Andre's question.

"There is no particular concern. However, if you consider the income ratio, horror and comedy are the fastest, you can take a closer look." Lanli said simply, "I divided these works into three categories. Each category can win two to four works, and the next two to three years will be planned."

"However, if you need to build a streaming platform, the number will need to be more. You can choose works according to your planning needs." Lanli added, and before Andre and Andy continued to speak, Lanli continued, "In addition, TV series are more sticky to streaming audiences and have more attractiveness to the early growth of subscribers, just like Netflix's 'House of Cards'."

This is determined by the special attributes of the movie. Now the movie still emphasizes that it is released in theaters, and only after it is offline will it be launched one after another in videotape rental and online playback. Even Netflix has not been able to change this situation for the time being, which has affected the timeliness of the movie source. However, TV series are different. They are originally played on small screens and do not need to rely on box office to survive, but rely on subscriptions or advertising.

Because there is no need to rely on box office, this has also changed the creation model of the series. On the one hand, the creative space of TV series has begun to expand, and artists can win more freedom; on the other hand, streaming media platforms are launched simultaneously, or the entire series is released in one go, which will not affect the profits, but will make the audience who like it more fanatical.

Netflix relies on the series to make the situation open, and now Amazon is planning to do so.

"Afterward, I have listed some episode projects, you can refer to them." Lanli continued, "However, the production system and cost calculation of the episode are different. I am not very familiar with it, so I cannot accurately evaluate the feasibility. At present, my only understanding of TV series is the Pacific War, so..."

Andy immediately chuckled, "That is the most 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. It is a $5 million movie. Everyone says it is a very low cost, but TV series can produce three to five episodes. Even for TV series that are well-produced now, the cost of one episode reaches five million US dollars, which is an exception for a very, very few episodes like "Game of Thrones". Most of the series are still very thrifty.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, the special effects cost of TV series is lower, and the computer special effects cost of movies continues to soar; on the other hand, the cost of actors is lower. Whether from average or at the highest level, TV series actors are far lower than movie actors.

But on the other hand, the benefits of TV series are far from comparable to movies. In terms of revenue ratio, whether TV is better or movies remain ahead is not a simple question; but at least it is certain that compared with the most top TV series and the most top movies, it is obviously the benefits of movies.

Andre has just started with the movie and has a lack of understanding of TV series. He handed Andy the list in his hand, "In terms of episode production, is the whole process simpler than movies?"

Andy pondered for a moment, "It should be said that it is more operational. It can be understood in this way. For the movie, we cannot shoot a trailer to let the film company see how effective it is. We can only make judgments based on our own experience. This is also the reason why producers like Steven Spielberg and Renli can gain more trust. They have proved their vision and ability and ensured the bottom line of the work."

"But TV series can produce a navigation series, which is $100,000 for the low and $500,000 for the high, which basically touches the ceiling. That kind of navigation series with a million dollar is a special situation. You see, the TV station can enjoy the navigation series, see if they like it, whether it can succeed, and then decide whether the series is officially put into production. Going further, they can book a full season, a half season, or even only book eight or six episodes to see the broadcast reaction, and then decide on the subsequent."

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

Andy agreed with the light jaw, "This is what Lanli said about user stickiness. A successful set of dramas can attract very large and loyal users. In order to watch the second and third seasons, the number of paid subscription users will inevitably rise. But the premise is that the drama must be successful."
