Less than forty-eight hours have passed since "Rogue One" was completed. From physical strength to energy to artistic burnout, Lan Li's ankle was deeply entangled, slowly in a dark corner that was invisible deep in her heart. Cannibalization erodes the soul, and no one knows when it will erupt.

Or it might not break out at all.

Everything is new to Renly. He needs to explore and explore slowly by himself. Now he is just trapped in a state of languid confusion. Maybe after a good rest for a few days, it will be alleviated; but maybe if he slows down, things will become more serious... He has no way of knowing. .

From the beginning of choosing an actor, he did not expect that he would be able to reach the heights he is today, and the scenery of this journey, he always enjoys it, no matter what happens next, there is any adventure, he is willing to open his mind. Take the initiative to meet, he likes his life.

Therefore, tiredness returned to fatigue, Lan Li still diverted himself, and the worry that Andy revealed between the lines made Lan Li chuckle.

Andy also realized that he was a bit long-winded-with Lanli's personality, let alone now, it was the same before. Nodding when you like it and rejecting it when you don't like it. He has never compromised or hesitated, but care is chaotic. Li's current situation is the first time, and it is inevitable to worry.

"I know I know. Just like at the beginning, you don't like Thor and you don't like me, so you will never nod easily and agree to something, right?" Andy also rarely expressed his dissatisfaction with the original Three visits to the thatched cottage, it seems that he is still brooding, and has not forgotten.

Lan Li did not refute, so he admitted the "accusation" frankly.

Andy noticed Rooney's curious eyes, he turned his head, "Don't ask. The only thing I can say is that the young master in front of you is definitely not easy to be manipulated. This time, even Catherine Kennedy is trying to calculate He went around for a long time before reaching his goal."

Rooney's eyes were full of smiles, "It's not the first day you met him, otherwise, how did you think the name of the "Prank King" came from?"

Andy's gaze fell on Rooney, and he said meaningfully, "Danger! Girl, danger! You are unknowingly falling into Lan Li's trap." That kind of earnest voice made Rooney smile. When he got up, the slightly serious atmosphere gradually eased.

Turning his head, his gaze fell on Lan Li again, and Andy said, "Last week, I attended a premium cigar party with Alexander and Andre and met some very interesting...friends." For the word "friend", Andy is still a little cautious in his wording. After all, not everyone can be called a friend.

"One of them is a senior in the business development department of BBC TV. I'm not sure, do you know that BBC TV also has its own online subscription channel." Andy raised a small question and caught the confusion in Lan Li's eyes. I understand the answer, "In short, we discussed the development prospects of online streaming-obviously, neither the British nor the BBC believe in streaming."

Andy omitted the tedious narrative and went straight to the conclusion.

Lan Li gently chinted his head to express his understanding that the United Kingdom is indeed far inferior to the United States in the commercial development of films and television, including dramas.

Although Europe also has the world’s top-ranked British Sky TV, France 4th, German Satellite TV 1 and Euronews, these cable TV stations also have their own set-top boxes and subscription channels; but there is no commercial development, commercial innovation, etc. Able to be in the forefront of the world.

As for online streaming, it lags even more seriously.

Netflix later entered Europe and encountered unanimous crusades and resistance from traditional media, from TV to movies, and even once linked the keywords of "crude" and "destroying art" to Netflix, and the market gave feedback on far-reaching business. In terms of value, Netflix has successfully established a firm foothold.

Therefore, Lan Li was not surprised by what Andy said.

If it was before, maybe Lanly would discuss a few sentences and complete the exchange with Andy; but today, Lanly didn't seem to be awake, he just nodded to express affirmation, and didn't say much.

Andy didn’t mind, he spoke very fluently alone, “But the BBC TV station is very keen on expanding the business coverage area. They need to subscribe to channels online. In the original words of the high-level person, it’s, “Others They all do this, so we have to do the same.' They are also very tricky now."

"So, I mentioned what Sisyphus Pictures was trying to accomplish. Then Alexander met him again. In short, he found Andre and wanted to cooperate with Sisyphus Pictures. But the cooperation model They are more special. They are willing to put the copyright of the BBC series on the Don Quixote channel, and then cancel the BBC's own online subscription department, but there is a premise..."

Having said that, Andy paused on purpose, only to find that both Lan Li and Rooney had a calm expression——

BBC! That's the BBC! If you can put all the BBC drama resources on the Don Quixote channel, this is basically equivalent to putting a treasure trove!

This business may be worth more than tens of billions of dollars!

Of course, for the BBC, they can distribute dividends through copyright, but they don’t need to spend energy on the half-dead online subscription department, which is equivalent to "putting dust in the warehouse on display in the museum to earn tickets." , It is simply a business that only makes a profit without losing money.

Just as Starlight TV previously leased its film library to Netflix, they own the copyrights of Disney and Sony, and when Starlight TV, Disney and Sony realize the epoch-making significance of online streaming, they can reclaim the copyright at any time, and then they own the copyrights. Hands on.

The same is true for BBC TV now. Therefore, objectively speaking, it is not so shocking.

Nevertheless, the calmness of Lan Li and Rooney still made Andy a little discouraged, and said, "Well, you are not willing to cooperate even with a little suspenseful atmosphere. This is really boring."

Rooney chuckled lightly, "So, what's the premise?"

"The premise is that they hope to cooperate with us to produce a series of dramas, put it on the Don Quixote channel, and see how effective it is. If the number of viewers can exceed three million, BBC TV is willing to sign a contract with us." Said the result.

If even this number cannot be reached, then the BBC does not need to waste time and risk messing around.

Lan Li did have some surprises, but when you think about it seriously, Alexander and Andre are really not to be underestimated, while the BBC is an empty glove white wolf-the distribution of benefits in the cooperation agreement is the real key problem. Then, the BBC is willing to be tentative. To give Sisyphus Pictures a chance, there is no need to make a fuss.

"They want to work with me?" Lan Li finally said.

Andy nodded and replied in the affirmative, "They still hope you can be a producer, preferably a starring role, and then they gave me a project at hand and want to ask for your opinion."

Lan Li nodded and said that he understood: relying on his appeal to attract 3 million viewers on streaming media. From the standpoint of the BBC, it is indeed worth trying-the 3 million here is not a click on the tubing. It’s 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 Lanli’s work three times.

After receiving a positive signal from Lan Li, Andy went on to say, "The temporary name of this project is now called'Personal Bodyguard', which is related to anti-terrorism operations."

"Personal bodyguard"? Lan Li's eyes lit up. Could it be that 2018 BBC series that broke the highest ratings record in ten years?

If it’s that series, then it’s really worth trying. The actor is a soldier suffering from PTSD. After leaving the battlefield due to injury, he became a key member of the London Police Department and went to protect the Secretary of the Interior. Because of different political views, the bodyguard I had to face fierce conflict in my heart.

But with Andy's brief description, Lan Li realized that it was not that drama—the whole conceptual system was very close, but it lacked key elements.

"Personal bodyguards" can create miracles of ratings, topics and word-of-mouth, which is closely related to the year "2018", because the world structure has undergone tremendous changes, extending from the refugee issue to a series of national conflicts-

The 2016 U.S. presidential election was upset, the 2016 Brexit referendum in 2016, and the UK’s change of prime minister in 2016, followed by Germany, France, and Italy, are all beginning to face the impact of mainstream ideology...and so on, from Europe to Asia In North America, even South America and Oceania are no exceptions. The global "climate" is changing, and topics such as terror/terror/attack and nationalism/ism are causing more and more discussions within each country. All must face a series of chain reactions brought about by the changes of the times.

Then, the "bodyguard" appeared.

The whole series is not so much anti-terrorism, as it is the reflection of the entire world pattern and feedback to the British mainland. The full-scale outbreak of internal and external troubles has led to escalation of conflicts. In addition to the endless social problems, the original contradictions have also begun to intensify, and those politicians After all, their colorful appearances are just competing for benefits, which has a profound impact on the common people.

The male protagonist represents the civilians who have been persecuted by the war, while the female protagonist is considered to be an allusion to the later British Prime Minister Theresa May~www.novelhall.com~ under the collision of all kinds of time, place and people, not only for the drama The topic is created, and the depth, breadth, and thickness of the episode are all completely new.

It's only 2015. The world is anxious, but it is far from reaching the surface. This also makes the story frame of "Personal Bodyguard" still in that outline, but the actual content is far from reaching the level of "strikes". . Although Lan Li hasn't seen the script now, it can be inferred that the quality should still fall short.

"Personal Bodyguard" is an excellent series, but it should not appear in 2015 or 2016.

"...What's your opinion?" Andy could read Lan Li's eyes, and he interrupted his words.

"The topic of advancing with the times is very interesting, but the current climate is still immature. This should wait 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 be honest.
