The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2398

[Two thousand three hundred and sixty-one another way]

Less than forty-eight hours have passed since the completion of “Rogue One”. From physical strength to energy and then to the burnout of artistic creation, Renly’s ankles are deeply entangled, and he slowly moves slowly in the dark corners that cannot be seen in the depths of his heart. The cannibalization erodes the soul, and no one knows when it will break out.

Or it won’t explode at all.

Everything is new to Renly.

He needs to slowly explore and explore by himself, and now he is just stuck in a state of exhaustion and confusion. Maybe after a few days of rest, he will recover; but maybe if he slows down, things will be more serious… He has no way of knowing. .

Since he chose the path of being an actor, he had no idea that he would be able to reach the heights he is today, and he has always enjoyed the scenery of this journey. No matter what happens next and what adventures he has, he is willing to open his mind to it. Take the initiative to meet, he likes his life.

So, tired and tired, Renly still distracted himself, and the worry revealed between Andy’s words made Renly chuckle.

Andy also realized that he was a little long-winded – with Renly’s personality, let alone now, it was the same in the past, nod if you like it or refuse, never compromise or hesitate, but caring is messy, Lan. It was the first time that Li was in the current situation, so it was inevitable to worry.

“I know I know. Just like back then, you don’t like ‘Thor’ and you don’t like me either, so you won’t easily nod your head and agree to things, right?” Andy also expressed his dissatisfaction with a rare expression. The three visits to the cottage seem to be still haunted and have not forgotten.

Renly didn’t refute, so he freely admitted the “accusation”.

Andy noticed Rooney’s curious eyes, and 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 someone who can be easily manipulated. This time, even Katherine Kennedy wanted to calculate. He went around in circles for a long time to achieve 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 Demon King’ came from of?”

Andy’s eyes fell on Rooney, and he said meaningfully, “Dangerous! Girl, dangerous! You are falling into Renly’s trap unknowingly.” The earnest look made Rooney chuckle. When he got up, the slightly serious atmosphere gradually eased.

Turned,

His eyes fell on Renly again, and Andy said, “Last week, I attended a high-end cigar party with Alexander and Andre, and met some very interesting…friends.” As for the “friend” Words, Andy’s words are still a little cautious, 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, if you know that BBC TV also has its own online subscription channel.” Andy threw a small question, capturing the confusion in Renly’s eyes, he also The answer is clear, “In short, we discussed the development of online streaming media – obviously, neither the British nor the BBC believe in streaming.”

Andy omits the tedious narrative and goes straight to the conclusion.

Renly nodded lightly to express his understanding. In fact, the UK is indeed far inferior to the US in terms of commercial development of film and television, including theatre.

Although Europe also has the world’s top-ranked Sky TV, France 4, German TV 1 and Euronews, these cable TV stations also have their own set-top boxes and subscription channels; but business development, business innovation, etc. do not have To be at the forefront of the world.

As for online streaming, that lags even more severely.

Netflix later entered Europe and encountered unanimous crusade and resistance from traditional media, from TV to movies, and even linked the keywords of “shoddy manufacturing” and “destroying art” to Netflix for a time, and the market feedback has far-reaching business. When it comes to value, Netflix has managed to gain a foothold.

So Renly wasn’t at all surprised by what Andy said.

If it was before, Renly might have discussed a few words and completed the exchange with Andy; but today, Renly didn’t seem to wake up, he just nodded in affirmation and didn’t say anything more.

Andy didn’t mind either, and he spoke very fluently when he was alone. “But BBC TV is very keen on expanding its commercial coverage. They need to subscribe to channels online. In the words of the executive, ‘other people They all do it, so we have to do it too’. They are also very tricky right now.”

“So I brought up what Sisyphus Pictures was trying to accomplish, and then Alexander met with each other again. In short, he found Andrei and wanted to work with Sisyphus Pictures. But the cooperation model More special, they are willing to put the copyright of the BBC’s series on the Don Quixote Channel, and then cancel the BBC’s own online subscription department, but there is a premise…”

Having said this, Andy paused deliberately, only to find that the blue Li and Rooney both looked calm –

BBC!

That’s the BBC!

If you can put all the episode resources of the BBC 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 do not need to spend energy on the half-dead online subscription department, which is tantamount to putting “things that accumulate dust in warehouses and display them in museums to earn tickets” , it is simply a business that only makes money and does not lose.

Just like Starlight TV leased its film library to Netflix before, 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 own hands-on.

Now the same is true for BBC TV.

Therefore, objectively speaking, it is not so shocking.

Even so, the calmness of Renly and Rooney made Andy a little discouraged, and complained, “Well, you guys don’t even want to cooperate with the atmosphere of suspense, it’s so boring.”

Rooney chuckled lightly. , “So, what’s the premise?”

“The premise is that they want to work with us to make a series, put it on Don Quixote, and see how it works. If the audience can exceed three million, BBC TV is willing to Complete the contract with us.” Andy said the result in a hurry.

If even this number cannot be reached, then there is no need for the BBC to waste time and risk messing around.

Renly was indeed a little surprised, but thinking about it seriously, Alexander and Andre should not be underestimated, while the BBC is empty-handed – the distribution of the benefits of the cooperation agreement is the real key problem, so the BBC is willing to tentatively Give Sisyphus Pictures a chance, and there’s no need to make a fuss.

“They want to work with me?” Renly finally said.

Andy nodded and gave a positive answer, “They still want you to be a producer, preferably a starring role, and then gave me a project at hand and wanted to ask for your opinion.”

Renly nodded to show that he understood: relying on His appeal, attracting 3 million viewers on top of streaming media, is indeed worth trying from the standpoint of the BBC – the 3 million here is not the number of clicks on YouTube; it is a real paid subscription The audience of Don Quixote, in other words, the online channel must attract more than three million subscribers, or one million subscribers who are willing to watch Renly three times.

After receiving Renly’s affirmative gesture, Andy went on to say, “The temporary name of this project is now ‘Bodyguard’, which is related to anti-terrorism operations.”

“Bodyguard”?

Renly’s eyes lit up, could it be the 2018 BBC’s excellent drama that broke the highest ratings record in ten years?

If it is that series, then it is really worth trying. The male protagonist is a soldier who suffers from PTSD. After leaving the battlefield due to his injury, he became the VIP Protection Bureau of the London Police and went to protect the Home Secretary. Because of different political opinions, the bodyguard I had to face severe conflict inside.

But with Andy’s briefing, Renly realized that it wasn’t that show—the entire conceptual system was very close, but key elements were missing.

“Bodyguard” can create miracles in ratings, topics and word of mouth, which is closely related to the year “2018”, because the world pattern has undergone tremendous changes, extending from the refugee issue to a series of national conflicts——

The 2016 US presidential election was upset, the 2016 Brexit referendum, the 2016 UK change of prime minister, followed by Germany, France and Italy, all began to face the impact of mainstream ideology… and so on, from Europe to Asia Going to North America, even South America and Oceania are no exception, the global “climate” is changing, and topics such as terrorism/terrorism/attacks and nationalism/ism are triggering more and more discussions, and each country’s internal All have to face a series of chain reactions brought about by the changing times.

Then, the “personal bodyguard” appeared.

The whole series is not so much anti-terrorism, but rather the reflection of the entire world pattern and feedback to the British mainland. The full outbreak of internal and external aggression has led to the escalation of conflicts. In addition to the endless social problems, the original contradictions have also begun to intensify, and those politicians After all, their appearance is just to compete for interests, which has a profound impact on the common people.

The male protagonist represents the war-torn civilian population, while the female protagonist is believed to be an insinuation of the future British Prime Minister Theresa May.

Under the collision of all kinds of favorable circumstances, not only created topics for the episodes, but also the depth, breadth and thickness of the episodes have all taken on a new look.

It is only 2015, the world pattern is anxious, but it is far from the surface, which also makes the story frame of “personal bodyguard” still the same outline, but the actual content is far from being able to reach the level of “heavy punch” .

Although Renly has not seen the script yet, it can be speculated that there should be a gap in quality.

“Bodyguard” is a good show, but it shouldn’t be in 2015 or 2016.

“…What’s your opinion?” Andy could read Renly’s look, and he interrupted himself.

“The topic of keeping pace with the times is very interesting, but it is still not mature enough. It should wait for another two years to see where the world pattern will go. I believe that the creative team can also inspire different sparks of inspiration.” Renly be honest.
