1780 don't want to grow up
One billion US dollars is indeed a huge number, but taking a step back, the appeal of the name "Renly Hall" is far more than one billion US dollars. This is true whether in London or in Hollywood..
“I've said it before, it depends on whether Renly is willing to go back to London for a walk." After hearing Matthew's proposal, Andre also looked at Renly with a smile, and started joking easily..
Even Andy, who sat next to him and pondered for a moment, echoed, "If this is really the case, I still have some small savings..”
Both Andre and Matthew looked at Andy in slight surprise. Andy could sense their surprise and couldn't help but joke, "Don't look at me so expectantly. I may change at any time." It's an idea." Then Andy continued to explain, "I am also looking for investment opportunities, and venture capital funds are a good choice. If it is to invest in Renly, I am familiar with this transaction, and it is a trustworthy investment..”
With a double entendre, Andy once again showed his trust in Renly.
Renly shook his head slightly, with a slight arc on the corner of his mouth, and a touch of touch filled his entire chest. The warmth was slowly surging. Not long ago, he expressed his feelings towards Andre and Ya. Ser and the others still couldn't completely entrust them with trust, but now they conveyed the signal in a more direct way, which made Renly a little bit embarrassed..
However, Renly controlled himself in time and did not show it on the surface. He responded in a teasing way, "You are going to suffer a loss by throwing all the pressure on my shoulders. If you lose money by then, then But there really is nothing left.”
Matthew answered calmly, "It's okay, I know your home address and bank password.".”
The light and gentle way of expression created a strong backlash of cold humor, making Andy and Andre both smile..
Renly shrugged lightly, "It's not wise to make friends..”
Andre took over with a smile, "Why don't the venture capital fund use your name? Although we are closely related to Sisyphus Films, if we directly use the same name, others may not be able to truly trust it. It would be simpler and more direct to use your name.”
Hall Ventures.
“I personally have no objections, but the premise is, please don't use my name to create a Ponzi scheme, okay? "Renly still joked in a relaxed manner, and then looked at Andre, "I also know your home address. More importantly, I know your brother..”
Andre's head was full of black lines, and he rolled his eyes at Renly speechlessly. Then he simply ignored Renly's teasing, "I will complete the deal with Sony next, acquire Crack, and then prepare for the follow-up matters." .So, do you have any further suggestions for film and series projects?？”
“No." Renly shook his head simply, without hesitating for a second, "You first work on Crack and the venture capital fund, and then Andy and Arthur will be responsible for the budgets of these projects and select suitable works. As long as they are within the budget, Just jump right into filming and production..”
“Since we are now preparing to establish our own streaming media platform, the more original works the better. I will have a call with Robert and Ethan to discuss the possibility of establishing our own Sundance Channel, or independent films. Channel. In fact, we can also consider joining forces with other independent film companies to let them put their works on our streaming platform..”
Renly said easily, and then he noticed the strange looks in Andy and Andre's eyes, but he said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Is there anything wrong? We are an independent film company. Different from those large film companies, our future We will definitely stick to this path more, so if other companies of the same type are willing to share the film source copyright with us, why not?？”
Renly thinks in pure filmmaker mode.
But Andy and Andre are the business model: Features! Renly just accidentally mentioned the unique features of the Sisyphus Films streaming platform..
Every product or brand needs an opening feature, and streaming media platforms are no exception - or, in other words, this is especially true for online platforms with extremely fierce competition. Otherwise, why would Netflix insist on expanding its original content? What about the content library?？
Sisyphus Pictures' streaming media platform has already lagged behind many of its competitors, not to mention whether they hope to catch up with their competitors. Even if they want to gain a foothold in the industry, they need to have clearer positioning and ideas. Apparently, Renly just unintentionally provided this framework.
“I think it’s better to call our streaming platform Don Quixote? "Andre's whole train of thought became clear, "Compared to Sisyphus, Don Quixote seems more suitable, what do you think?？”
Both Don Quixote and Sisyphus are tragic characters. One is trapped in his own illusory idealism, and the other is trapped in a cruel cycle that can never be completed. The difference is that Don Quixote is a dreamer. , but was defeated by reality; and Sisyphus was an executor, refusing to give up before reaching the end..
Neither Matthew nor Andy had any objections, but turned their attention to Renly.
Renly nodded slightly, "Of course, why not?"？”
In fact, the name of the streaming media platform is just a symbol. What really determines the development prospects is the content. This is a platform where content is king. However, Andre's meaning couldn't be clearer: the name is positioning and characteristics. It clearly clarifies their development direction and tone, which is undoubtedly very important information for subscribers..
Later, Andy and Andre asked some questions about the two project lists. After determining the basic direction, the two people left one after another..
Once again it was just Renly and Matthew left in the apartment..
The silence after the hustle and bustle disappeared allowed his mind to slowly settle down, and Renly began to read through the script again. Although he had made two lists and the project mountain had been mostly cleared, after all, there were about sixty left. The seventy items were not fully read, and Renly still needed to complete them..
Subconsciously, he reached out to look for the red wine glass, but after groping for a long time, he couldn't find it. When he raised his head, he found that the coffee table had been tidied up, and the red wine and red wine glasses had disappeared. Then he could see Matthew leaving with the tea set. Come here, the scent of tea is slowly lingering in the house.
“You drank too much today." Matthew put the tea set on the coffee table and said in a deep voice.
“Yeah? "Renly thought about it seriously, and then realized that he had indeed drank a lot without knowing it. No wonder his ears were starting to feel slightly hot now..
Matthew placed the tea cup in front of Renly, "I made green tea. I also added two drops of vinegar..”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Renly frowning slightly, showing a look of disgust. Despite this, Renly picked up the tea cup and took a sip gracefully. Then Matthew continued, "Do you need a biscuit?"？”
Renly didn't answer, but grabbed a cookie directly from the porcelain plate..
Matthew also readjusted his sitting position and sorted out the booklets scattered on the sofa and coffee table. "Do you regret it?" Without warning, Matthew asked, "You just want to be an actor, don't you?" ?？”
“Peter Parker also just wants to be a high school student." Renly said jokingly, and then he fell silent, chewing the biscuits carefully, and then continued after a while, "I am still an actor now. .You know, actually sometimes, I miss the days of filming "Buried Alive" and "Crazy Love" even more. It's not that fame and popularity are a burden, but that life at that time was simpler and more pure. It seemed like everyone Just like we miss our childhood, we all think we miss those playful times, but in fact we miss those carefree years..”
“Your childhood doesn’t seem to be carefree,” Matthew complained..
Renly laughed, "I was found out. But you understand what I mean. I just simply think that sometimes, life is actually quite simple." There was another pause, and then the corners of Renly's mouth rose. He stood up and his eyes brightened again, "But, didn't Peter Parker's uncle say that? With greater ability comes greater responsibility. We eventually need to grow up and assume our corresponding responsibilities, some of which are family responsibilities. Some are corporate responsibilities and some are social responsibilities.”
Matthew looked at Renly quietly.
Everyone thinks that founding Sisyphus Pictures and reaching the top of the Hollywood pyramid is a glorious thing, but it is not an unnecessary burden for Renly. Although it sounds a bit ungrateful to say this, after all, Renly's brilliance is countless The objects of envy are those that most people can't reach in a lifetime of hard work; but there is a saying: seek kindness and gain kindness. That is the goal that "everyone" desires, but it is not necessarily the height that Renly pursues..
Your honey is my arsenic. Although this description is not appropriate, it also proves that different positions and different mentality must have different perspectives on the same thing. Sisyphus Films, from a certain perspective, is It's a burden to Renly. Even if it's a sweet burden, it's still a burden..
“I am an actor. I was, am, and will be in the future. The only difference is that I am now doing my best to create a better environment for independent films. I hope more Don Quixotes can Realizing my dream. Looking at it from another perspective, it is actually creating a better performance environment for myself, isn’t it?？”
If possible, no one wants to grow up; but the reality is that everyone will grow up, and everyone will die. Short life can interpret many different possibilities, so why not choose a positive one?？
Renly said with a smile, "I think I'm quite lucky. That's a good thing..”
“Hmm." Matthew didn't say anything more, just picked up his tea cup. The two of them just tasted the tea quietly. Only they can know the taste of the tea on the tip of their tongues..
