Not like it or hate it, but... wait another two years.

　　 Lan Li gave his opinions on the "Personal Bodyguard" project. From the words, Andy can indeed feel that Lan Li's interest has changed slightly.

　　 So, Andy was not going to continue the discussion, "I received it. Let us leave the follow-up matters."

　　 Because of Andy's vigilance, Lan Li chuckled lightly, "Don't worry so much, I'm not in a state of recuperation, my mind still keeps working."

"Our cooperation with the BBC can still be carried out. We can co-produce one or two series of series, and then put them on the Don Quixote channel to see the viewing effect. Compared with American TV stations, the way the BBC treats series is actually, And the style and genre of the series are more suitable for our positioning."

　　 BBC TV series tend to be shorter and shorter, and they are rarely forced to fill water for the sake of ratings. To a certain extent, it also gives screenwriters more room to play. Of course, it is precisely because of this that many BBC dramas are relatively unpopular, and the audience is relatively narrow.

　　 This has many similarities with the original intention of Don Quixote Channel. Perhaps, their cooperation can collide with more wonderful sparks.

　　 Lan Li sincerely believes, "Whether it can be a long-term cooperation in the end, this is a rare opportunity."

Andy did not answer immediately, but thought and digested it for a moment. "It is true that both Andre and Arthur think this is an important cooperation opportunity, but we still lack sufficient experience in drama production. Ander Lie mentioned to me before and asked me to recommend one or two trustworthy professionals to serve as the head of the creative department of the Don Quixote channel, and to exercise macro-control over the quality of drama series and movies."

　　Andre's idea is very far-sighted.

　　Take Netflix as an example. They also have their own art creation department, which screens and controls projects. However, in the early stage of high-speed expansion, they were a little hungry, completed calculations through big data, and then produced piles of typed scripts and typed movies in a pipeline, with no quality at all.

　　 For example, "Clown Back to the Soul" is a big box office, and Netflix has produced a batch of "Magic" movies that miss the retro frenzy of the 1980s.

　　 Another example is the success of "Miss Bird", and Netflix has produced a series of works focusing on the troubles of young people's growth.

　　Using big data as a guide, fixed templates as a routine, mass-produced works that conform to the trend, and then Netflix's original library is enriched like a rocket.

　　 Obviously, the Don Quixote channel cannot learn from Netflix-the most important reason is lack of money. They can't spread money rashly, so they need to pay more attention to quality.

　　 At present, the head of the creative department of Sisyphus Pictures is...Lan Li, and all projects must be handled by Lan Li to be able to approve the shooting.

　　 However, it is impossible for Lan Li to truly take the position of department director. He can only be a consultant at most. For daily tedious work and small project review, someone must be in the office to be responsible. This also means that the taste and vision of the head of the department are very important, and he may determine the artistic level of the Don Quixote channel.

　　 Just like the art directors of the three major European film festivals, the main competition works they select will determine the quality and level of each year's film festival.

"The BBC has a lot of management talents. You can ask Andre to find out. Besides, why don't you ask Robert Redford for his opinion? See if he has any recommendations? Go further, see. See if he is willing to serve as our creative department consultant?"

　　 Lan Li's suggestion made Andy's eyes light up slightly. This is indeed a solution.

　　 Lan Li chuckled slightly, "Andy, you are my agent. They are asking you to help now. Isn't it too easy?"

　　 Andy also laughed, "There is no way, no one can call you, then you have to go back and ask me for help."

　　 In fact, Andy only occasionally helps provide some advice, his job is still a broker. The cooperation with Sisyphus Pictures is a development line that the creative artist agency attaches great importance to. It is not only to maintain the relationship between Lanli, but also to see the development prospects-more worth looking forward to than the original DreamWorks. , This makes Andy's work gradually tilt towards Sisyphus Pictures.

"BBC, in fact, the works they are willing to propose to cooperate with us should all have a certain quality guarantee. They are a bit similar to HBO, but they still hope to win with quality. Even if it is an evergreen drama like'Doctor Who', it is still a matter of time. Thinking about seeking new changes."

　　 Lan Li added, “If you’re not sure, then I’ll help. When the creative department is established, things will be much easier.”

　　 Andy's attention has shifted from BBC TV to Lan Li.

Although the fatigue between Lan Li's eyebrows and the eyebrows has not completely dissipated, the emotions in and out of the words have stabilized, and he is really not too repulsive about work, and even willing to actively participate in the discussion, which makes Andy I felt a little relieved, but still not sure whether I should...

　　 "What else?" Lan Li's voice came, interrupting Andy's thoughts, Lan Li's eyebrows raised lightly, "Andy, your eyes are filled with hesitation."

　　 Andy laughed blankly, "It seems that I must be more cautious. Otherwise, the next time I negotiate a job, I might face a big problem."

Keeping a habitual smile, Andy thought about it seriously for a moment, "BBC’s cooperation is on one hand, on the other hand, in fact, David Fincher also mentioned you. He very much hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with you, but Knowing that your schedule is very full, so I just asked."

　　 David Fincher?

　　 Lan Li's eyebrows lightly raised. If it was before, Lan Li might jump up excitedly; but now, the mood is still bright, and you can feel that kind of excitement, but there is no explosive excitement and happiness-he can't be sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, just a little faint. Dull.

　　 Andy also caught Lan Li’s emotions, and Rooney’s voice came from the side, “What project is David working on? When I spoke with him last time, I didn’t hear him mention it.”

　　 David Finch likes Rooney very much. This was the case when he collaborated on "social networks", and later he tailored the "Girl with Dragon Tattoo" for Rooney. Two people have a good relationship in private, and they still keep in touch. Sometimes in the same city, they will meet out for dinner, chat and joke.

In fact, in recent years, David has still maintained a strong artistic creativity. There are many projects under preparation. There are at least five known projects before and after. However, because they do not conform to the style of "two tights", this also makes In the process of preparing funds for David, he repeatedly encountered obstacles.

　　 The year before last, Netflix launched the "House of Cards", which broke the pattern of the TV drama market with a sweeping attitude, allowing people to see the huge potential of Netflix, not only in terms of ratings, but also in terms of awards.

　　 Last year, the "Disappearing Lover" invested and produced by Warner Bros., had a sudden emergence and achieved outstanding results. From the box office to word-of-mouth to the awards season, it became a dark horse.

It can be seen from all aspects that David Fincher is still in the golden age of his artistic creation, but his ideas and creativity have not been recognized by large production companies for a long time. Every project investment and negotiation must go through a long period of time. The tug of war, and the end result is often disappointing.

　　 This has always been the case since the “social network” in 2010.

David negotiated three projects with HBO TV station for more than three years, but none of them were able to reach the final step; David also negotiated four different projects in cooperation with Warner Bros. and Paramount, only The "disappearing lover" came out.

Last year, David negotiated two cooperation projects with HBO and Netflix respectively, including HBO TV’s attempt to remake the British drama "Utopia". The heroine chose Rooney, but the talk collapsed because of budget differences. Rooney After four weeks of rehearsal, the crew was still disbanded; there was another set of episodes. David had completed the production of the first four episodes, but he stopped temporarily because of internal disagreements.

After going round and round, David's career is indeed facing severe challenges and is caught in a dilemma. It is no wonder that he has no good impression of the "Little Golden Man economy" represented by the awards season. He has been in public and private for many times. The occasion expressed his dissatisfaction and rejection.

Rooney’s interruption ~lightnovelpub.net~ allowed Andy to find a point of convergence. He also followed the topic and said, "In fact, it is the project that David and we talked about before, and the'Mind Hunter' that Lan Li personally handled. ." Andy cast his gaze towards Lan Li, and then he could see Lan Li pursing the corner of his mouth to indicate that he remembered.

"This project has also encountered many problems. Sisyphus Pictures temporarily decided to invest in the production of'Stranger Things' and'Sin Night Rush' first, and'Mind Hunter' was also stranded. For this project, David continued While looking for investment, Netflix did not seem to be too eager. David and I met unexpectedly at the reception. He took the initiative to mention this project. He thought "you will like it" and hopes to make it as soon as possible."

　　 Andy’s understatement reveals too much information——

Who could have imagined that a director at the level of David Fincher still needs to constantly run around for his own work. There is no direct relationship between Sisyphus Pictures and Andy Rogers, but David still comes through Andy Looking for Lan Li, hoping to persuade Sisyphus Pictures to invest in the production of "Mind Hunter", this also proves the difficulty of David's situation.

　　 This reminds Lan Li of one thing:

Brad Pitt starred in the "Zombie World War". When it was released in the summer of 2013, it unexpectedly achieved excellent box office results without being favored, and the production of the sequel was officially launched; but for various reasons, the sequel has been so far They have not been able to determine the start-up plan, and even the production of the cast is not determined.

　　 Whether it's Brad Pitt or David Fincher, they are facing difficulties. This shows what?
