2023 Crisis lurks
Renly can understand Arthur and Andre's considerations. There is no doubt about Matthew's ability. At the same time, he is also their most trusted partner. If Matthew can come over and serve as the leader of the legal department of Sisyphus Films, this will undoubtedly is the most perfect solution.
But Renly still refused..
Matthew is Matthew because he shines brightly when he stands in court to argue, just like Renly stands in front of the camera and on the stage. They both have their own dreams, and they use them in different ways. support each other in pursuing each other without hesitation.
Renly knew that if he spoke, Matthew would nod in agreement; but he could not and did not want to..
“I still like the Matthew standing on the court." Facing Arthur's eyes that still refused to give up, Renly finished with the simplest sentence..
Arthur raised his hands depressedly, then leaned on the back of the chair with his shoulders slumped, "I'm your brother, okay? Why don't you support my dream?"？”
“Aren't you realizing your dream now? Or have I misunderstood? Then, I'll tell Andre and let him give you your freedom." Renly said lightly, and then you can see Arthur's expression stiffening little by little, completely losing the reserve and restraint of a nobleman, which made Lanly Li shook her head slightly, "Alf has stayed with you in London for so many years, and she still hasn't collapsed. I think it's hard for her.".”
Arthur said he received 100,000 critical hits.
Edith, who was watching the play, had a flash of inspiration in her mind and quickly grabbed it, "Have you all forgotten Charles Dormer? Do you remember which direction of law Charles specializes in?？”
Charles Dormer, Eton Dormer's brother, the second eldest son in the Dormer family, is also a lawyer. When Matthew came to New York, he accepted Charles' invitation and founded a law firm here. Both of them are He became a partner and gradually started his own business..
“Charles? Are you sure? "Arthur, a know-it-all, immediately showed a meaningful expression, "If you let Charles attend the party, then he will definitely be a good player, but if you let Charles go to court, it is better to let him go directly to the guillotine for execution..”
“We don't need Charles to go to court, we need Charles to sit in an office and process paperwork - wait a minute, we don't need Charles to process documents, we need Charles' ability to create a law firm in New York and develop it to this day. That just shows his ability, doesn't it? In the lawyer circle, his name should be more useful than you or Andre." Renly was keenly aware of the key point..
Arthur has always regarded Charles as his "kind" - a party animal, and the same goes for Andre, so they have never considered Charles' professional abilities, but now that they think about it, maybe Charles is a more suitable candidate than Matthew.
“Even if it's not Charles, I know that Matthew knows a group of lawyers in London, and he can also suggest some candidates. You and Andre can discuss it, and you can also ask Charles for his opinion. I know that Charles is not very reliable, but You and Charles should have your own language system, and you can identify the truth and lies." Renly then added..
“Ouch! " Arthur expressed his protest with a cry of pain, but he did not continue to talk. He nodded to express his understanding, "In addition, regarding the Don Quixote Channel, the planning book and platform framework blueprint have been released, but we are currently I really don’t have much concept. You’d better take a look and give some opinions and ideas. We will let the engineers see if it can be realized. Next, we will set up a marketing department to carry out preliminary research and further improve and adjust the design blueprint of the platform..”
Renly nodded in agreement..
“As for the planning document and blueprint, should I give it to you directly or send it by email..." Arthur didn't quite understand these details. He usually left them to his secretary to handle. "By the way, my secretary said, I will send them to you every time. You don't reply to emails, which means that our work here cannot be carried out. I can't look for Nathan every time, right? God, it's so sad that I have to contact you through Nathan..”
“First of all, it was your secretary who contacted Nathan, not you." Renly ignored Arthur's "grievance" at all, "Secondly, if it is an urgent or important email, you can send it directly to Matthew, my Matthew is sorting out the emails. If you send planning books and blueprints to Matthew, he will tell me immediately..”
“Wait, what about Matthew’s own job? "Edith can't keep up with the speed..
Renly shrugged lightly, "He has a tidying habit, I'm just doing him a small favor. What's more, my emails didn't have much to do in the first place, but now all the job offers are sent to Andy and Roy, private As for emails, they are all irrelevant, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t deal with them; for the really important things, you all go to me directly, right? Just like now, right?.”
“……Does Matthew know you are so shameless? "Arthur asked speechlessly.
“Yes." Renly answered very calmly..
Arthur surrendered, "Okay, okay, I understand. Regarding the Don Quixote channel, we have asked the engineers and the production team. The fastest progress will be the beginning of next year. It is estimated that there will be no way to complete the first version within this year." ; After that, multiple rounds of internal testing modifications will be needed. The ideal situation is that it will be officially launched in January 2016. If an unexpected situation occurs, the time will have to be pushed back..”
Renly nodded, "This is good. It completely meets our needs. In the next eighteen months, we can start to find more copyright cooperation. At the same time, we can also shoot more original works of our own. By then, the channel When we go online, we only need to list a resource library to attract viewers' subscriptions and original works. This is our core means to compete with other online streaming media..”
“So what about the movies that were made? We filmed and produced it, but there was no platform to broadcast it. Let’s not talk about the protests and dissatisfaction of the production team for the moment, but what about ourselves? If there is no way to withdraw funds, there will be no way to continue subsequent filming and production. Our funds are not enough to make up for this black hole. Isn't this a problem? ” Arthur raised another concern.
Obviously, Andre has not had time to talk in detail with Arthur about this part. After all, the work on Sisyphus Films and the Don Quixote Channel in the initial stage is really too huge and too complicated, and everyone is like It spins rapidly like a top, wishing that I could have a clone, but I'm still too busy..
This is always the case in the entrepreneurial stage.
“I have discussed this issue with Andre, and you can discuss the specific situation with him. Simply put, we are now ready to cooperate more with Sony, but whether we need to establish our own distribution channels is still under discussion." The entire process. It was complicated, but Renly gave the answer in the simplest way, and then let Arthur and Andre discuss it in detail..
Arthur understood immediately, "You mean, the movie we are making will still be released in theaters."？”
“Yes." Renly nodded in affirmation..
Arthur breathed out lightly, "That would be great." As long as it is released to the public, the box office and peripheral income can become follow-up start-up funds to ensure that Sisyphus Films can continue to operate and create more profits. ; Otherwise, if Hall Ventures cannot achieve profitability within eighteen months, it will be a disaster..
“Also, two TV series projects..." Arthur said again, and Renly immediately remembered the projects he chose, "'Stranger Things' and 'Night Run'", Arthur nodded in affirmation, "Now that the script for 'Runner' has been written, and the script for 'Stranger Things' is nearing the final stage, we are now starting to produce two TV series at the same time. It may be a bit difficult. Which one do you recommend to invest in first?" production of works？”
In fact, the real question is: Which work is more likely to succeed? If the capital chain of Sisyphus Pictures is broken and it is unable to produce another work in a short period of time, then the first work produced will either sell the copyright or use it as a turnaround. Either way, it must have enough outstanding.
There is no way. Now some of their stalls are too big, with multiple lines running in parallel, full bloom, and prosperity. It looks like blooming flowers, but in fact it is full of dangers. A slight negligence may lead to a complete collapse. That kind of feeling of walking on thin ice is also the feeling of starting a business. Difficulties that must be faced at this stage.
Renly failed to understand the deeper meaning of Arthur's words - he really lacked the skills to run a company, "Whichever film is cast first will be filmed first.".”
“I mean, if we need to focus on force pushing, which one should we choose? "Arthur had to express it in a more straightforward way..
Renly didn't fully understand, but still had a vague concept, "'Night Run'." He gave the answer simply and neatly, "The main actors of 'Stranger Things' are all children, chosen to be spiritual and suitable. It is not an easy task to play the role of a child actor; in comparison, "Night Runner" requires veteran actors with certain skills. Steven Zaillian and Richard Price are well-known in the industry. Casting will go smoothly with lots of familiar faces.”
Arthur tasted it carefully, and then gently nodded to express his understanding, "I know. After returning to Los Angeles, we will hold a meeting. If necessary, I will... I will invite Matthew to browse The minutes of the meeting." He looked at Renly with resentful eyes and expressed his strong dissatisfaction: They were too busy in Los Angeles, but Renly didn't even bother to read the minutes of the meeting..
“Do you believe it? Matthew might just hang up the phone." Renly showed no sympathy at all and laughed happily..
Arthur has black lines all over his head.
Looking at Arthur's melancholy expression, Renly chuckled, "I will tell Matthew. However, I think the premise framework has been formulated and my work is over. What follows is I won’t compete with you for the spotlight on your stage. What do you think?？”
