"But the premise is that the episode must be successful."

"It's like'Game of Thrones'?"

"Oh, did you do a little homework? Yes, it's like'Game of Thrones', and like'Mad Men','Breaking Bad' and'The Walking Dead' and other dramas, AMC TV was originally in fierce competition Among them are very weak cable channels. Relying on these three episodes, paid subscribers have overtaken 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 this way? In the early stage of the original accumulation stage, it is easier for TV series to lay the subscriber base; and the later development and upgrade. At the stage, movies can generate more high-quality users?"

Andy always felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell.

Lan Li interjected, "This way of understanding is correct, but there are some problems to explain. The reason why the film cannot be completed in the early stage of the original accumulation is because it is bound by the theater chain, and the timeliness cannot be effectively solved, which means , The movie works watched online are all previous movies, which makes it easier to attract experienced and high-quality users, rather than fast-food users who can quickly keep up with the trend in a short time.

"You can imagine, if you can simultaneously watch movies being shown in theaters at home, in addition to'Avatar' and'Gravity', which must be in theaters to feel shocking works, how many audiences are willing to continue to go In theaters, how many viewers are willing to stay at home?" Lan Li's words simply pointed out the core point.

In fact, this is a matter of convenience in the fast-food era. Thanks to the existence of fiber optic networks and smart phones, life has become easier and faster. Naturally, people start to become lazy, and those actions that require energy are also It becomes more ritual:

For example, writing letters by hand, such as reading paper books, such as going to the theater to watch a movie, such as personally cooking and cooking, such as knitted sweaters or bracelets...

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

Andre pondered for a moment, "So, should we be the first to make a series?"

"The order is wrong." Matthew interrupted calmly.

Andre didn't know why.

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

If there is no streaming media platform and a series is produced, then you must find a TV station to broadcast it, which is turning the cart before the horse.

Andre only reacted at this time and patted his forehead, "Today the amount of information is a bit too big, and the order is not clear." Then Andre looked at Andy, "How about the drama, you see Did one come out?"

Andy looked carefully at the list of episodes he was working on, then raised his head to look at Lan Li, "Are you sure? Why do I have an ominous premonition, these episodes seem to be... no audience wants to watch it." Genre, even if it’s a streaming platform, are the genres and styles of these episodes...too unique?"

Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle.

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

But Lan Li knew that Andy was not joking.

First of all, there is a background, that is, artistic 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 are bound to affect artistic creation, which is why people always say , Art blooms from the misery of life.

With the influx of refugees into Europe, global political winds and cultural dynamics have changed. From Brexit to the US elections, the ups and downs can be seen with the eyes, and naturally, the creation of large-screen movies has also changed. Changes have taken place, the most straightforward is ethnic diversity:

There must be whites and blacks in the film, and then match the minority ethnic group, often Asian; then the female characters in the film must get rid of the fixed impression of the past; and then, the cultural integration must take into account all aspects of characteristics... and so on.

Of course, this is 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 niche groups will never be able to win their own rights. This is part of social progress and also art. One of the important functions of the work. If there is no "driving for Miss Daisy," then blacks will never be able to win their equal rights; if there is no "Farewell My Concubine" and "Hold the Red Lantern", then Chinese movies will always be wild.

In fact, under such a background, many excellent works have indeed been born. Far from it, "focus" is like this. In the past, works can still be shot and can still be released, but the best Oscar film is definitely not. It is possible that even the artistic creation of movies may not be so sharp and sharp.

But everything has pros and cons.

Conversely, this also limits the ideas and ideas of many art creators. Works like "coming out of thin air", "this house is made by me", and "black party members" make it difficult to find a living space, which is also unexpected. Opened the channel for small screens-many excellent art creators flocked to small screens and streaming media, because there is no need to worry about the box office market or Oscars, in other words, get rid of the two tights Bonded, they can fully flex their muscles.

David Lynch’s "Twin Peaks" was available on the big screen thirty years ago. Although the box office was not good, the artistic achievements are still admirable; thirty years later, it can only be displayed on the small screen as a series Rebirth, and full of new vitality!

Because of this, after 2013 and 2014, a large number of dramas with outstanding and unique artistic achievements emerged on the small screen, with a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending. Many dramas are bold and wonderful. People have never imagined that such dramas have a market, 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. Switching to small screens to find great works, and more importantly, in the buffer zone between popcorn audiences and extreme literary audiences, these dramas have also unearthed a large number of potential audiences——

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

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

In 2016 and 2017, people in the industry generally believed that the quality of Emmy awards had surpassed the Oscars. And the artistic creativity of the TV drama market has surpassed that of movies in an all-round way. In the past, movie actors returned to the small screen, which was big news; later, it has become a mainstream trend, and various high-end creative talents have flocked to the small screen.

For large film companies, only pipeline directors are enough to make superhero movies, and they have no regrets or embarrassment at all. This further promotes the entire cycle.

The most straightforward case is Alfonso Cuarón. After finishing the filming of "Gravity", he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the creation of "Rome". However, even though he had just won the Oscar for Best Director, Golden Man, he still couldn't find a film company willing to invest in the "Rome" work. In the end, when he went around and bumped into walls, he reluctantly chose Netflix.

In fact, if possible, Alfonso does not want to go to Netflix, because he still wants his work to be played on the big screen instead of watching it online on the computer and mobile phone; but when he is desperate, he has no other choice. .

"Rome" won a favorable comment after its screening at the Venice Film Festival ~www.novelhall.com~, and almost reached the Golden Lion Award without any suspense, but even professionals admit that the six major film companies are impossible. Those who agreed to make this work were too bold, too special, and too artistic.

Now, the same is true of the list of drama series in Andy's hands. In all aspects, these works are very different from previous TV 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 the current schedule and value of Lan Li, the dramas that are willing to invite Lan Li to appear are really rare, and more are under consideration by the creative artist agency. After all, there are still many actors who need to work under their banner, but even so, the project is still relatively limited.

However, Lan Li still found a lot of surprises.

The first thing to bear is the "Stranger Things" that changed Netflix's position in the industry and also changed the overall trend of horror movies. It is no exaggeration to say that the subsequent success of "Clown Back to the Soul" must be thanked for the opening and foreshadowing of this series. More importantly, after the glorious success of this series, a series of classic horror movies such as "Yin Wind Fluttering" and "Moonlight Panic" have been launched, sequels or remakes.

To be precise, "Stranger Things", 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 about it. Including Netflix himself, major TV stations and streaming media platforms do not see any hope for the success of this series, because horror and thriller works have always been regarded as a niche in the movie market, and the TV drama market is even more so. That's it.

Thus, "Stranger Things" came into the hands of Sisyphus Pictures.
