2361 Another way
Less than 48 hours have passed since the completion of "Rogue One". From physical strength to energy and then to artistic creation, the feeling of fatigue deeply entangled Renli's ankles, slowly eroding the soul in the dark corners that are invisible deep in his heart. No one knows when it will explode.
Or it won't explode at all.
Everything is brand new to Lan Li. He needs to explore and explore slowly by himself. Now he is just trapped in a state of fatigue and confusion. Maybe he will take a good rest for a few days and then he will recover. But maybe he will slow down and things will become more serious. He has no way to know.
From the road of choosing an actor, he had never expected that he could reach his current height. He always enjoyed the scenery of this journey. No matter what happens or adventures next, he was willing to open his mind and take the initiative to greet him. He liked his life.
Therefore, no matter how tired Lanli was, she still diverted her attention. The worries revealed between Andy's lines made Lanli chuckled.
Andy also realized that he was a little long-winded with Renli's personality. Not to mention now, it was the same before. He nodded and refused if he liked it. He never compromised or hesitated, but cared for it. It was the first time that Renli's current situation, and it was inevitable that he was worried.
"I know I know. Just like before, you don't like Thor, and you don't like me, so you will never nod and agree to the matter easily, right?" Andy also expressed his dissatisfaction with a rare occasion. He seemed to be still resentful of the three visits to the cottage and did not forget it.
Lan Li did not refute and admitted the "accusation" frankly.
Andy noticed Rooney's curious eyes, and turned his head, "Don't ask. The only thing I can say is that the young master in front of you is definitely not at the mercy of others. This time, even Catherine Kennedy went around and went around to achieve the goal in order to plot against him."
But Rooney's eyes were full of smiles, "It's not the first day you know him, otherwise, how did you think the name of the great devil come from?"
Andy's eyes fell on Rooney and said meaningfully, "Danger! Girl, Danger! You are unknowingly falling into Renli's trap." The serious look made Rooney burst into laughter, and the slightly serious atmosphere slowly eased.
Turning his head, his eyes fell on Renly again, Andy then said, "Last week, Alexander and Andre, I attended a high-end cigar party and met some very interesting friends." Andy was still a little cautious in using the word "friend". After all, not anyone can be called a friend.
"One of them is a senior executive of the TV station's commercial development department. I'm not sure, do you know that the TV station also has its own online subscription channel." Andy gave a small question and captured the confusion in Lan Li's eyes. He understood the answer. "In short, we discussed the development prospects of online streaming. Obviously, the British and none of them believe in streaming."
Andy omitted the cumbersome narrative and went straight to the conclusion.
Lan Li said that she understood that in fact, in terms of commercial development of films and television, the United Kingdom is indeed far inferior to the United States, including drama.
Although Europe also has the world's top Sky TV, France's Fourth Channel, Germany's Satellite TV One and European News Channel, these cable TV stations also have their own set-top boxes and subscription channels, but commercial development, commercial innovation, etc. have not been able to be at the forefront of the world.
As for online streaming, it is even more serious lag.
Netflix later entered Europe and encountered unanimous confrontation and resistance from traditional media, which was the case from TV to movies. It even once linked the keywords of "short-made" and "destroying art" to Netflix. When the market reported far-reaching commercial value, Netflix had successfully gained a foothold.
So, Renli was not surprised at all what Andy said.
If it were the past, Renly might have discussed a few words and completed a communication with Andy. But today, Renly didn't seem to wake up. He just nodded and expressed his affirmation, not saying anything more.
Andy didn't mind, and he said it very smoothly by himself. "But the TV station is particularly enthusiastic about expanding the business coverage area. They need to subscribe to the channel online. In the original words of that senior executive, everyone else does this, so we have to do it. They are also very tricky now."
"So, I mentioned what Sisyphus Pictures was trying to accomplish. Later, Alexander met with the other party again. Simply put, he found Andre and hoped to cooperate with Sisyphus Pictures. But the cooperation model is quite special. They are willing to put the copyright of the series on the Don Quixote channel and then cancel their online subscription department, but there is a premise."
Speaking of this, Andy deliberately paused, but found that Lanley and Rooney were both calm! That's not! If all the series resources can be placed on the Don Quixote Channel, it would basically be like putting a treasure house!
This business may be worth more than tens of billions of dollars!
Of course, for those who can distribute dividends through copyright, but do not need to spend energy on the half-dead online subscription department. This is equivalent to putting "things stored in the warehouse and displaying dust in the museum to earn tickets", which is simply a business that only makes money but not loses.
Just like Starlight TV previously leased its film library to Netflix, they own the copyrights of Disney and Sony. For Starlight TV, Disney and Sony realized the epoch-making significance of online streaming. They can recycle the copyright at any time and do it themselves.
The same is true for TV stations now. Therefore, objectively speaking, it is not that shocking.
Despite this, Lanley and Rooney's calmness still made Andy feel a little discouraged, and she complained, "Okay, you don't even want to cooperate with the atmosphere of suspense. This is really boring."
Rooney chuckled, "So, what's the premise?"
"The premise is that they hope to work with us to produce a set of episodes and put them on the Don Quixote channel to see how the effect is. If the number of viewers can exceed three million, the TV station will be willing to sign with us." Andy said the result in a suffrage.
If even such a number cannot be achieved, there is no need to waste time and risk.
Lan Li was indeed a little surprised, but if you think about it carefully, Alexander and Andre should not be underestimated. On the other hand, the distribution of interests of the White Wolf Cooperation Agreement is the real key problem. Then, there is no need to make a fuss about being willing to give Sisyphus Pictures a tentative opportunity.
"They want to work with me?" Lanli finally spoke.
Andy nodded and gave a positive reply, "They still hope that you can be a producer, preferably a starring actor, and then gave me a project on hand to ask for your opinion."
Lan Li nodded to express her understanding: relying on his appeal, he attracted three million viewers on streaming media. From the standpoint, it is indeed worth trying the three million here. It is not the number of clicks from YouTube, but the audience who really paid to subscribe to the Don Quixote Channel. In other words, this online channel must attract more than three million users, or one million users who are willing to watch Lan Li's works three times.
After receiving Lan Li's affirmative instructions, Andy continued, "The temporary name of this project is now called a personal bodyguard, which is related to anti-terrorism operations."
"Personal Bodyguard"? Lan Li's eyes lit up. Could it be the excellent drama in 2018 that broke the highest ratings record in ten years?
If it was that series, it was really worth trying. The protagonist was a troubled soldier. After leaving the battlefield due to injury, he became the London Police Department's Chief Protection Bureau and went to protect the Home Secretary. Due to different political views, the bodyguard had to face fierce conflicts in his heart.
But with Andy's brief description, Renli realized that the entire concept system of that series was not very close, but lacked key elements.
"Personal Bodyguard" can create miracles of ratings, topics and reputation, which is closely related to the year "2018", because the world pattern has undergone tremendous changes, extending from the refugee issue to a series of national conflicts
The 2016 US presidential election was upset, the 2016 Brexit referendum, the UK changed its prime minister in 2016, and Germany, France and Italy, followed by it, have also begun to face the impact of mainstream ideology and so on. From Europe to Asia to North America, even South America and Oceania are no exception. The global "climate" is changing, and topics such as terrorist attacks and nationalism are triggering more and more discussions. Every country must face a series of chain reactions brought about by changes in the times.
Then, the "personal bodyguard" appeared.
The whole series is not so much a counter-terrorism, but rather a reflection of the entire world pattern and feedback to the British mainland. The full outbreak of internal and external troubles has led to the continuous escalation of conflicts. In addition to the endless social problems, the original contradictions have also begun to intensify. The appearance of those politicians is ultimately just a competition for interests, which has had a profound impact on the common people.
The male protagonist represents the civilians who have suffered from war persecution, while the female protagonist is considered to be an allusion to the later British Prime Minister Theresa May.
With all the collisions of time, place and people, not only has the topic created for the series, but the depth, breadth and thickness of the series are completely renewed.
It is only 2015 now, and the world is in a state of anxiety, but it is far from being on the surface. This also makes the story framework of the "personal bodyguard" still have the same outline, but the actual content is far from reaching the level of "heavy punches". Although Lan Li has not seen the script now, it can be inferred that the quality should still be different.
"Personal Bodyguard" is a great set of dramas, but it shouldn't appear in 2015 or 2016.
"What do you think?" Andy could interpret Lanli's eyes, and he interrupted his words.
"The issue of keeping pace with the times is very interesting, but the current time is still not mature enough. We should wait for another two years to see where the world pattern will go. I believe that the creative team can also inspire different sparks of inspiration." Lan Li said the truth. [This chapter. Love. Have. Voice., please remember the website]
