"But the premise is that the show has to be successful."

"Like 'Game of Thrones'?"

"Oh, did you do a little homework? Yes, like 'Game of Thrones' and like 'Mad Men', 'Breaking Bad' and 'The Walking Dead', amc TV was going to have a tough competition Among them are very weak cable channels, they rely on these three series, and the paid subscribers have surpassed a lot of competitors and are now second only to hbo."

Andy's further explanation made Andre ponder for a moment, and gave different opinions from his perspective, "Can I understand it this way, in the early stage of primitive accumulation, it is easier for TV series to lay a foundation for subscribers; in the later stage of development and upgrading stage, movies can generate more high-quality users?”

Andy always felt that something was not right, but he couldn't say it.

Renly interjected, "The direction of this understanding is correct, but there are some problems with the interpretation. The reason why the film cannot complete the original accumulation in the early stage is because it is bound by the theater, and the timeliness cannot be effectively solved, which means that , the movies watched online are all previous movies, which is easier to attract senior and high-quality users, rather than fast food users who can quickly keep up with the trend in a short period of time.”

"You can imagine, if you can simultaneously watch the movies that are being shown in theaters at home, how many audiences are willing to continue to go to movies such as 'Avatar' and 'Gravity' that must be in theaters to feel the shock How many audiences are willing to stay at home in theaters?" Renly's words simply pointed to the core point.

In fact, this is a problem of convenience in the fast food era. Thanks to the existence of optical fiber networks and smartphones, life has become simpler and faster. Naturally, people start to become lazy, and those actions that require energy are also It becomes more ritualistic:

Such as writing a letter by hand, such as reading a paper book, such as going to the cinema to watch a movie, such as cooking and cooking by yourself, such as a sweater or bracelet knitted by yourself...

These actions all require relatively cumbersome processes and actions, and take more time. This "ceremonial sense" is like aristocratic etiquette, which is useless and burdensome for most people, only for a small number of people. The unique experience of dividing groups, classes, and people.

Andre pondered for a moment, "So, should we take the lead in producing episodes?"

"The order is wrong." Matthew interjected calmly.

Andrei didn't know why.

"There should be a streaming media platform first, and then there are episodes; in the case of Sisyphus Pictures, there should be a movie first, and then a streaming media platform." Matthew's thinking is still very clear.

If you don't have a streaming platform and you've made a series, you have to find a TV station to broadcast it, which puts the cart before the horse.

It was only at this moment that Andre came to his senses, he patted his forehead, "The amount of information today is a bit large, and the order is not clear." Then Andre looked at Andy, "How is it, in terms of episodes, look Did you come up with a reason?"

Andy took a serious look at the list of episodes in his hands, then raised his head to look at Renly, "Are you sure? Why do I have this ominous premonition that these episodes seem to be... no audience wants to watch them. Genre, even on streaming platforms, isn't the genre and style of these episodes... too unique?"

Renly couldn't help but chuckle.

Andy had to explain, "I mean it." He thought Renly had misunderstood that he was joking.

Renly knew that Andy wasn't joking.

First of all, there is a background, that is, art creation is always closely related to life. They come from life and are higher than life. Therefore, political, social, cultural and other factors in life will inevitably affect art creation. This is why people always say that , art blooms from the misery of life.

With the influx of refugees into Europe, global political trends and cultural dynamics have changed. From Brexit to the U.S. election, etc., those ups and downs can be seen with the eyes. Naturally, the creation of big-screen movies has also Changes have occurred, most bluntly in racial diversity:

There have to be whites and blacks in the movie, and then there have to be minorities, often Asians; then the female characters in the movie have to get rid of the stereotypes of the past; and then there have to be all aspects of cultural integration…and so on.

Of course, that's not a bad thing. Many people regard the so-called correct orientation as a bad thing, but objectively speaking, without the guidance of these works of art, ethnic minorities and minority groups will never be able to win their own rights and interests. This is part of social progress, and it is also an art One of the important functions of the work. If there is no "driving for Miss Daisy", then black people will never be able to win their equal rights; if there is no "Farewell My Concubine" and "high red lanterns", then Chinese movies will always be in a wild state.

In fact, under such a background, many excellent works have indeed been born. Not to mention, "focusing" is just like that. In the past, the works can still be filmed and can still be released, but the best picture Oscar is absolutely not. Possibly, even the art of the film might not be so sharp and edgy.

But everything has pros and cons.

On the other hand, this also limits the thinking and ideas of many art creators. It is also unexpected that works such as "come out of thin air", "this house was made by me", and "Black Klankers" find it difficult to find a living space. opened

Channels for the small screen - Many outstanding art creators flock to the small screen and streaming media, because there is no need to worry about the box office market, nor the Oscars, in other words, they are free from the constraints of two tights. They can fully flex their muscles.

David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" hit the big screen 30 years ago, and despite its bad box office, its artistic achievements are still admirable; 30 years later, it can only be shown on the small screen in the form of an episode Reborn, and full of new vitality!

It is precisely because of this that after 2013 and 2014, a large number of dramas with outstanding artistic achievements and very unique dramas emerged on the small screen, and a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended. Many episodes are bold and wonderful. People never dared to imagine that there is a market for such episodes, but the fact is that the tastes of the audience have also changed with the times, and those senior audiences have also left the big screen. Moving to the small screen to find great works, and more importantly, in the buffer zone between popcorn audiences and extreme literary audiences, these episodes have also tapped a large number of potential audiences——

Their appreciation and acceptance of works of art far exceeded expectations. Even they didn't realize it, and thought that art works were always obscure and difficult to understand in advance; but they designed some works of art to fit their own aesthetics, and even awaken their own resonance.

As a result, small-screen art has entered an era of full-scale prosperity.

In 2016 and 2017, people in the industry generally believed that the quality level of the Emmy Awards had surpassed that of the Oscars. The artistic creativity of the TV series market has surpassed that of movies in an all-round way. In the past, the return of film actors to the small screen was big news; later, it has become a mainstream trend, and all kinds of high-end creative talents have flocked to the small screen.

For large film companies, it is enough to make a superhero movie with an assembly line director, and they have no regrets or embarrassment. This pushes the whole cycle further.

The most straightforward case is Alfonso Cuaron, who devoted himself to the creation of "Rome" after completing the shooting of "Gravity". However, even though he had just won the Oscar for Best Director, he still couldn't find a film company willing to invest in "Roma". After going around and hitting a wall, he reluctantly chose Netflix.

In fact, if possible, Alfonso also doesn't want to go to Netflix, because he still wants his works to be played on the big screen instead of watching online on computers and mobile phones; but in a desperate situation, he has no other choice. .

"Roma" won critical acclaim after its screening at the Venice Film Festival and almost unsurprisingly topped the Golden Lion, but even the pros concede that none of the big six studios would have agreed to make the production. , too bold, too special and too artistic.

Now, the same is true for the list of drama projects in Andy's hands. In every respect, these works are vastly different from previous drama series, and are quietly opening a new era of artistic creation.

In the script mountain this time, there are not many drama projects, mainly considering Renly's current schedule and worth, the dramas that are willing to invite Renly to appear are really rare, and more are under consideration by the creative artist agency. After all, they still have a lot of actors who need to work, but even so, the project is still relatively limited.

Still, Renly unearthed quite a few surprises.

The first to bear the brunt is the "Stranger Things" that changed Netflix's status in the industry and changed the overall trend of horror movies. It is no exaggeration to say that the subsequent success of "The Clown's Soul" must be thanked for the opening and foreshadowing of this series. ; More importantly, after the brilliant success of this series, a series of classic horror movies such as "The Storm" and "Moonlight Panic" have all started or sequels or remakes.

To be precise, "Stranger Things", which was officially launched on Netflix in 2016, is a work that has changed the entire market structure and has been hailed as a masterpiece by countless people.

But in fact, in the preparatory stage, no one is optimistic about this series, or even no one cares. Including Netflix itself, major TV stations and streaming media platforms have not seen the success of this series, because horror and thriller works have always been considered a niche in the movie market, and the TV drama market is even more so. That's it.

So, "Stranger Things" came to the hands of Sisyphus Pictures.
