If Sisyphus Pictures is going to build its own distribution channel, and if Sisyphus Pictures is going to go further and build its own online streaming platform, the disadvantages and difficulties they face are countless, let alone whether they can succeed, even if Taking the first step is fraught with countless challenges; but in the face of many difficulties, their only advantage is Renly.

Right now, Park City, Sundance Film Festival.

The main purpose of Renly's trip is to promote the progress of the independent film industry. Robert Redford desperately hopes that Sisyphus Films can provide more opportunities for filming. Now there are no one hundred or eight projects waiting for funding. Ten; Coen Brothers, David Fincher, David Lynch, Wes Anderson and other well-known excellent directors in the industry, the projects in their hands are also waiting patiently for the investment and production of the film company, but they are subject to two sets. The limitation of tights is also facing difficulties at present.

There is no need to go back to Los Angeles or New York, where Renly personally negotiates and persuades these directors and producers with his prestige and reputation, Sisyphus Pictures can make a list, according to the order. Sequentially to put in the shooting and production work.

This is only part of it.

At the same time, Andy Rogers is waiting for the project script that Renly favors is not rare, especially after the two works of "Boom Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" have entered the field of producers, and are now willing to seek Renly favored. There are more and more projects, just like Steven Spielberg, even if it is a nominal producer, the project can get more attention——

In particular, Renly's vision for the selection of works that have won every battle is highly recognized by the industry.

For some film projects, they don't expect Renly to take over at all, they just hope that Renly will take over, and then they can tell other film companies, "This is a project that Renly has praised," and then seek more investment opportunities. This also makes more and more speculators put their script projects to innovative artist agencies.

In fact, this is not normal, because the brokerage company is not a production company, and actors and producers have no way to provide direct help. Even if they like the project, they can only find the production company through their own contacts, and then seek investment. , an actor can only take care of a few projects at the same time, the number is really too small, and the probability is really too low.

But such an abnormal situation is being staged, and it also proves Renly's current reputation. Awards season is one thing, and industry recognition is another; if you just talk about Renly's selection of works, there is absolutely no one else in Hollywood right now, and it deserves the top spot.

In other words, Andy now also has a project library in his hands, waiting for Renly to choose slowly. The right project can go directly to the channel of Sisyphus Films and immediately put into production.

Building a huge content library with original content is indeed a huge project, which requires energy and time, and cannot be rushed; but take a step back and imagine that at the beginning, you can completely take the high-quality route and consider quality over quantity——

If there is an online streaming platform that can offer ten titles comparable to "House of Cards" and "Game of Thrones", and ten titles comparable to "Drunken Country Ballad" and "Boom Drummer", then willing to pay for a subscription How many audiences are there? More importantly, the elite audiences are bound to occupy the majority, just like the hbo of the year, with elite audiences to drive word-of-mouth, and then open up the situation among ordinary audiences.

From the perspective of history, 2014 is an important turning year.

Netflix's original series has successfully opened up, and the second season of "House of Cards" is about to be launched, which gives Netflix more confidence and is increasing its investment in original series, but it still takes time.

Amazon's original series is only taking its first step, "Transparent Family" is about to premiere in February, and Amazon doesn't need to rush and lose its rhythm until it gets word-of-mouth feedback.

Hulu's North American promotion plan is still lukewarm. Disney, News Corporation and NBCUniversal are hesitant to increase their investment, but there is no way to make up their minds for the time being.

Disney is concentrating most of its energy on marketing the Star Wars franchise, Twentieth Century Fox is trying to focus more on streaming but it doesn't work, Warner Bros. has just created "hbo now" in its infancy, Universal Pictures and Paramount has been forced to focus more on film projects as the film market is losing ground, while Sony Columbia is single-mindedly exploring the possibilities of the "Spider-Man" universe.

In 2014, the rise of streaming media has already sounded in my ears, but Netflix and Amazon have not been able to fully mature and grow up, and are still in the first stage of primitive accumulation. If Sisyphus Pictures firmly seizes the opportunity, It is not impossible to disrupt the structure of the entire market now.

In Renly's few words, a grand blueprint was laid out slowly, which made one's blood boil.

But... Andre didn't get carried away, instead he calmed down more and more, stared at Renly in front of him, and returned to the original topic again, "Are you sure we want to set foot in the distribution channel?"

If you ignore distribution channels and just act as a production company, like Legendary Pictures, Sisyphus Pictures now has many advantages and can easily establish a foothold in the industry, allowing Thomas Tour and Van Die Searle was extremely uncomfortable, and it couldn't be simpler.

Even with Sundance's collaboration issues, they have a way of keeping things simple.

But if a distribution channel is established, it means that Sisyphus Pictures is no longer just a small game. Thomas Tour and Vin Diesel are as unimportant as ants, and their opponents have transformed into six The big studios need to plan and think differently.

The whole level and scale are not the same thing; naturally, the consequences and costs are not trivial.

Although Renly is a hands-off shopkeeper, he also understands what "distribution channel" and "streaming media platform" mean. He himself did not expect that things would deviate from the original track step by step, which also proves a fact. : The higher you stand and the farther you see, the world will be completely different.

"Andre, I'm just an actor. You should know that my ambitions and dreams are very, very small. I just want to be able to perform on stage and in front of the camera. That's enough. The life I have now, It's my dream."

A shallow smile appeared on the corner of Ren Li's mouth. He was still so content and unhurried, but the sincerity in his eyes was extraordinarily sincere, which made Andre's raised eyes stop and he looked seriously. A glance at Renly—those words that Renly always shares with Matthew, who is a friend of Renly and Eaton, but neither of them; to this day.

"If you don't want to build a distribution channel, I have no reason to object, and I'll agree to it, so I can save some chores." At this point, Renly chuckled to himself, "About independent The future of the film, Sisyphus Films at this stage can provide a lot of help, I think, Robert and the others will not ask for more."

"Similarly, if you choose to build a distribution channel, the support I can give is really limited. The only thing I'm good at is probably the film itself, I can contact some friends, I can choose some projects, I can participate in some works, I can You can participate in some productions, but that's all." Renly looked at Andre with a smile, a soft smile in his eyes, "I don't know if the scenes I just painted will be successful, and I don't know if they should be. How to evolve into reality."

"So, I don't have the ability to answer yes or no. It's a choice you need to make. But whatever the answer is, I'm 100 percent behind you." Renly expressed his opinion.

Andrei didn't speak, just stared at Renly quietly, then shook his head gently, and with the movement, a smile rose up, "Simply put, you just want to leave it alone, right?"

Renly shrugged noncommittally, then asked, "So, what do you expect from me?"

Andre couldn't refute, and shook his head in protest, "I think there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding between us. I'm the young master, not your housekeeper or financial manager."

Renly spread his hands and said solemnly, "Lord Andre, I firmly uphold your nobility and social status. Trust me, I'm serious."

Andre was a little annoyed, "Did I say that? You are really a devil."

"Yes, you did." Renly nodded in acknowledgement.

"..." Andre refused to continue to pester him, otherwise he would feel like a fool, since he was a child, he never seemed to be able to get rid of Renly's control, "I need Arthur to come and help, And Matthew, and I need your name on the Sisyphus Films president."

Seeing Renly preparing to defend, this time Andre made the first move, "You know, I can't command Matthew, if you don't speak, he won't be able to help me; Arthur too, I need him to come to America, and only you can convince him. And those guys in London who have my name in the company, they must think I'm joking, and I need your name to stand in the way."

"Okay," Renly said flatly.

Andre was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Renly to agree so neatly. He hesitated for a moment, "I still need you to go back to London to show up in person. One party, just one party is enough. Guys, all of them are old foxes, I need them to invest more, your reputation is more useful, and I will pull Alexander here too."

"Okay." Renly nodded again.

With such a talkative Renly, Andre became more and more suspicious.

Renly couldn't help chuckling, "What else is there to ask for? If you miss today, you won't have another chance."

"I want that snuff bottle of Tang Dynasty ladies in your collection."

"..."

"...Okay, okay, don't do it. Don't look at me like that, I'm not interested in you, it's weird."
