Chapter 897 - Simultaneous Release

Tang En is no longer the stunned young man who was just starting out a few years ago, and he did not hesitate to speak loudly in the media in order to increase his popularity. Now, everything he deals with will have a more macro perspective.

For example, his willingness to promote the filming of "Mulan" has indeed helped Miss Zhang's film career.

But isn't this helping himself?

At present, New Universal is competing with Disney for the super mega project of the Magic City Amusement Park, involving billions of dollars. He is thinking about what kind of way to get through China's official relations.

In an official-based country, market competition is very false and fake, and a good relationship with the official is the king, which is a hundred times stronger than Disney's foolproof market competition strategy!

At the time of China's film market-oriented reform, both the Film Bureau and China Film were eager to cooperate with Hollywood to enhance their international influence.

"Mulan" is likely to be an opportunity!

In the same way, this time at the Tribeca Film Festival, Tang En was really moved by compassion and wanted to help these low-level independent filmmakers.

However, while helping, he does not forget to bring benefits to himself.

Like now.

It was as if Donn had replaced Robert De Niro as the center of the party!

When it comes to vital interests, everyone is paying attention to Donne's attitude.

It's as if Don is at the heart of the independent film scene.

Of course, the nuclear is not the core, and Don doesn't care and can't look down on it.

He also has a more far-reaching layout plan.

"If you want to change the status quo of the independent film industry, the old mode of operation will definitely not work. In the past, Harvey Weinstein was able to do a small favor, but he couldn't solve the problem at the root. I have two options here, let's look into them and see if they work. ”

"You say!"

Robert De Niro's face was straight, and he said quickly.

Tang En said solemnly: "First of all, we must re-examine the meaning of traditional cinema in the new environment. Cinemas have limited resources, and it's unrealistic to want to push every independent film to cinemas. In addition to cinemas, there are many public places where movies need to be shown publicly, such as flights, museums, galleries, clubs, open-air cinemas, schools, hospitals, armies, aircraft carriers, and so on. People on these occasions are also eager to watch movies. Why don't you open up this market?"

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to supervise, right?"

Robert De Niro looked hesitant.

Is this okay?

In the cinema, one ticket per person, buy a ticket to enter, which is a payment for intellectual property.

However, it is impossible for museums, galleries, and clubs to have one ticket per person! In many cases, museums and galleries buy the rights to movies and then give them to customers to watch for free.

This is infringing on the interests of filmmakers!

Don glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Overseer, why overseer?"

"Huh?"

Robert De Niro was slightly stunned.

Martin Scorsese laughed: "I see what Donn means, most independent films...... To be honest, not many people have seen it, and most of them have been bought out by the distributor at a very low price to fill the film library. Rather than that, why not let more people see it? Word of mouth is also propaganda. Perhaps, through a wave of multi-venue releases, word-of-mouth applause will promote the next DVD release and sales. ”

Robert De Niro groaned slightly.

Don added: "Therefore, it is necessary to let the theatrical release of the film and the DVD release be carried out simultaneously. Independent films are not Hollywood commercial films and do not have such a large audience, especially in the absence of publicity. The Tribeca Film Festival will be held for two months, and during these two months, the film can take advantage of the little fame of participating in the Tribeca Film Festival to quickly complete the distribution of various channels, sell the copyright in the fastest time, complete the distribution, and collect funds, this is the only chance! The more it is delayed, the more unfavorable it is. ”

These words made many filmmakers present change their faces slightly, and they had a lot of complaints.

They are all independent filmmakers and artists who pursue the art of cinema!

However, Don's remarks were too straightforward, a bit of a use of their artworks to make money.

Although everyone comes to the film festival just to sell films and make money. But the words are so explicit that these artists are really embarrassed.

It's as if they've all fallen into the eye of money.

This is New York, not Hollywood!

Even Martin Scorsese felt that Donn's proposal was too bold, and muttered: "Donn, this is too challenging, movies have been born for a hundred years, and you have never operated like this." This model, lacking respect for art films. ”

Then, he gave Don a series of glances and asked him to pay attention to the way he spoke.

Don almost fainted!

Respect?

This group of people, all the poor people are clanging, and they still want the respect of art?

Really...... Well, backbone!

Tang En secretly disdainful in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face, "It may be that my expression is not accurate enough, which has caused some misunderstandings. I mean, it's not easy to promote independent films, and if you want more fans to see movies, the Tribeca Film Festival is an opportunity you can't miss. Of course, it can't be a simple and crude DVD release, but a more artistic way. ”

"Artistic way?"

"Of course, you know Netflix, right?"

"Netflix, the DVD rental company that forced Pepsi into nowhere, of course it knows!"

Don said with a smile: "Netflix is a website, a web-based video rental company, and its current membership users have exceeded 16 million. I'm going to have Netflix launch a separate section of art films, in collaboration with several major independent film festivals. Every time there is a major independent film festival, Netflix will launch corresponding introductions in the art film section, and exhibit some of these excellent works to a huge user base, which may be 20, or 30, 40, it doesn't matter, you can talk slowly. ”

For these filmmakers who pursue art, the Internet is still a novelty.

However, the current Netflix is too famous!

Even the giant Pepsi is under the competition of Netflix, and its performance is becoming more and more sluggish.

In particular, Donn's plan to launch an independent film festival section on the Netflix website is even more appealing.

In the traditional model, the Tribeca Film Festival can only select 15 films from the more than 120 films in the exhibition and promote them to theaters and video-on-demand stations.

Other movies are destined to be released on DVD silently and then disappear.

Don used the Internet and Netflix to create this new model, which is likely to double the number, which is too important.

That's double their chances!

That's a real benefit!

Robert De Niro understood and said excitedly, "Donne, are you serious?"

Tang En said confidently: "Netflix is my company, if I say it can be done, it will definitely work!"

The little oil and water in the independent film circle, Tang En can't look at it.

He will go to great lengths to let Netflix cooperate with the independent film industry, in addition to making a small amount of money and helping a group of independent filmmakers, there is actually a more important layout plan.

For the longer-term benefit of Netflix!

In the future, after the breakthrough of the Internet speed boundary and the rise of streaming media, the rise of Netflix will be unstoppable. At the same time, in order to maintain the originality and uniqueness of the content, Netflix's self-made drama is an inevitable path.

Homemade TV series, homemade reality shows, homemade sports shows, and even homemade movies can be made!

In his previous life, Netflix invested in many movies.

This type of movie will be launched in theaters and on Netflix at the same time.

This model, of course, will affect the box office data of the movie, but it can greatly improve the attractiveness and shock of Netflix!

How happy are members to be able to see movies being shown in theaters on Netflix?

However, this model has greatly challenged the film tradition and has been unanimously opposed by filmmakers all over the world, including Spielberg, Nolan and others, all of whom raised their arms and shouted to ban Netflix's films from participating in the Oscars!

Even the Cannes Film Festival has firmly stated that Netflix is not welcome!

The reason is simple, the Netflix movie, not the right way!

Movies should be shown in cinemas.

"Movie + cinema" is the real foundation of film.

After the end of the screening cycle of the cinema and the completion of the core process, there can be TV, streaming media, DVD and other multi-copyright sales, which is called peripherals and is auxiliary.

Netflix put "streaming" and "cinema" at the center of the juxtaposition, it's just not right!

If it is released simultaneously, it cannot be called a movie!

Or rather, it can only be called a TV movie!

TV movies cannot be in the Oscars, only in the Emmys, which logically belong to TV shows.

It can be said that Netflix's synchronous distribution model has attracted many users and glued the loyalty of many users, but it has been greatly opposed by Hollywood filmmakers.

What Don is doing now is to take precautions!

Let's start with independent films!

Using independent films as a tool, they became the initiators of multi-copyright "simultaneous distribution".

Starting with an independent film, even Spielberg can't say anything.

He may dare to call Netflix, but does he dare to call the independent film industry?

The bigwigs in this circle are Hollywood bigwigs!

Most of the older generation of filmmakers are from the independent film industry.

As long as independent films are used, the pattern of the film market has been broadened, and the filmmakers have recognized the new business model of "simultaneous distribution", and when Netflix emerges again in the future and launches the "simultaneous distribution" model...... No one can gossip anymore.

It is impossible for these people here to see through Don's long-term layout.

No one is blind to money.

Don gave them an opportunity, which was equivalent to giving them money.

Who can refuse?

When Don showed his last move, they were completely convinced, "In the past, it was Miramax who worked hard to maintain the common interests of this circle. Now, Weinstein's bastard has been caught, but the interests of independent filmmakers cannot be compromised. In this way, I will let Focus Pictures open a branch in Tribeca, so that I can better contact with everyone, get in touch with more and better movies, and support more and better filmmakers!"

Don is linked to each other.

No one can argue with that.

Just bitter Robert De Niro.

The "core" position he has finally built up is about to be snatched away by Don in a few words?

Miramax is disabled, and there is a Focus Pictures again?

Okay!

Your media giants are huge, and they are really fighting for every inch of land, and they are not even willing to let go of this meager interest in the independent film industry!

Robert De Niro wanted to cry without tears.
