│不用再猜了,新歡是 Universal!Christopher Nolan的下一部導演作品將由 Universal 發行│
• 幾天前 Deadline 才獨家報導導演 Christopher Nolan 的下一部電影將以原子彈之父 J. Robert Oppenheimer 為主角,並且正在尋求 Warner 以外的發行商合作。今天 Deadline 再度爆出獨家消息,指出 Universal Pictures 確定將投資並發行 Nolan 這部明年春天即將開拍的新片。Nolan 和他的長期製片夥伴也是他的妻子 Emma Thomas 將透過他們的製片公司 Syncopy 的名義繼續擔任製片。
• 雖然 Christopher Nolan 和他的經紀公司仍然有向 Warner Bros. 的主席 Toby Emmerich 和執行長 Ann Sarnoff 討論過這個製作案,但最後進入決選的只有 Universal、MGM 和 Sony 這三家片廠。如今確定由 Universal 勝出,也意味著2000年的《Memento 記憶拼圖》以來 Nolan 與 Warner 長達20年的緊密合作關係終於畫上休止符。雙方之間的嫌隙是從去年疫情發生以來關於《Tenet 天能》的上映日期和上映形式有不同想法開始。Nolan 對於稍後 Warner 對2021大片採行與 HBO Max 同步上架的發行方式非常不滿,甚至還公開說出 HBO Max 是世界上最爛的串流服務之類的氣話。外界早就在猜測 Nolan 最終會與 Warner 分手,投靠更信仰電影院體驗而非串流經濟的片廠。結果還真讓他千挑萬選找到了。
• 有趣的是 Universal 其實是去年疫情之中好萊塢第一家甘冒電影院產業抵制的風險打破發行空窗期的公司。首波受到疫情影響的電影《Trolls World Tour 魔髮精靈唱遊世界》後來被 Universal 直接上架到 VOD 數位平台上零售,同時也在電影院同步上映(但當時美國已經有大量電影院因為疫情停業,所謂的「上映」其實是象徵意義地發行)。Universal 因此在去年成為千夫所指的罪人。但後來包含 Warner 和 Disney 等片廠陸續採取了更激進的同步上架到自家串流平台的做法。於是兩權相害取其輕,現在 Universal 又變成好人了。
• 巧合的是 Universal 的母公司 Comcast 的財務長 Michael Cavanagh 正好在另外一場訪問中說明了他們的串流策略。Universal 的母公司也有經營串流服務 Peacock ,只是 Comcast 沒有採用像 Disney 那樣激進的做法——將自家影片版權全部收回,新片也一律 Disney+ 專屬。即便目前為止也有2部 Universal 電影曾被採用同步上架串流,但他們的做法比較是實驗性質,從未大規模採用。Comcast 的財務長說他們對於空窗期採取更「創新」的做法—— Universal 新片從電影院下檔之後,會在 Peacock 上架4個月,緊接著會下架影片並授權給 Amazon 或 Netflix 上架,去外頭打工賺錢。Comcast 這種做法完全是出自財務上的動機,要讓 Universal 電影盡可能賺更多錢。然而看在 Christopher Nolan 眼中,至少他們守住了電影院的專屬發行窗口。
• Universal 也是努力在疫情中賣出最票房最成功的電影《F9 玩命關頭9》的片廠。過去年度票房總結時, Universal 經常是少數能與 Disney 爭冠的強勁對手,而且他們的勝利甚至完全不仰賴漫畫超級英雄。他們手上有實力不輸給超級英雄的超級恐龍——侏羅紀世界系列以及快要跟超級英雄一樣荒謬的玩命關頭系列。不過值得注意的是,Universal 在製作預算上有比較節制的歷史,不像 Christopher Nolan 的前任交往對象 Warner 那樣隨便哪部電影都花超過2億美元。因此 Nolan 這一次可能需要省吃儉用一下,至少不能再隨便召喚昂貴的 Leonardo DiCaprio 或是波音747之類的昂貴道具。
• Observer 則注意到 Universal 片廠主席 Donna Langley 已經在A級創作者和明星之間建立了良好的口碑,讓 Universal 成為許多人的合作首選。Steven Spielberg 和 Universal 數十年如一日的合作關係一直是好萊塢的傳奇。而有 Spielberg 接班人架勢的 《Get Out 逃出絕命鎮》導演則是在最近幾個禮拜才從 Amazon 轉移到 Universal 旗下。而對 Christopher Nolan 來說更有吸引力的是 Universal 早先發行 M. Night Shyamalan 的新片《Old 詭老》更採用了長達75天的空窗期才上數位平台,而且甚至有可能根本不會上架自家串流平台 Peacock(而是去了別家)。
• 當然如果 Christopher Nolan 最不希望未來的合作對象太重視自家串流服務的話,沒有自營串流服務的 Sony 原本應該是首選。短期內,至少 Nolan 的下部新片之前 Sony 不會突然轉向自營串流。問題是 Sony 有直接以高價拋售未上映影片給那最有錢的串流平台比如 Netflix 或Amazon的記錄。
• 無論如何今天的新聞都是 Warner 的壞消息。他們不僅失去一個長年的台柱,而且連另一個當家台柱《沙丘》導演 Denis Villeneuve 都意有所指地暗示他對於整個沙丘宇宙的發展規劃並沒有全然得到 Warner 的支持。Villeneuve 可能沒有別的意思,但也可能只是顧及電影未上映而把感情裂痕包裝成輕描淡寫的禮貌說法。如果後者成真,Warner 和創作者之間的關係真可能在2021年的發行策略實驗之後像骨牌一般連續倒下。

new world investment 在 AppWorks Facebook 的最佳貼文
#NFTsummer A few weeks ago, we interviewed Xixi Huang (AW#17) in Mandarin and as the AppWorks Fellow who helps us out on the blockchain side, Xixi has a lot of ideas that are worth sharing to a bigger audience. Here's his interview in English:
西西 (Xixi) 黃士晉 is an AppWorks #17 alumni and co-founder of Rydeit. His mission is to bring the applications of blockchain to everyday life because he believes that blockchain can make the world a more fair and better place. As an AppWorks Fellow, he is responsible for guiding founders to think about blockchain and providing insights on blockchain-related investment deals. Before AppWorks, he led his previous team to build more than 10 dapps, including famous games in Taiwan such as 柚子打魚 and Shrimp.Finance. Within a month of launching these games, they had amassed over NT$ 100M (~US$ 3.5M) in transactions. His favorite pastime is traveling with his grandma, and his ultimate goal is to persuade her to buy Bitcoin!
Check out what Xixi has to say about blockchain and NFTs.
#NFTevolution
I started to learn how to write smart contracts in 2016, and learned the entire logic of ERC-20 for tokens and ERC-721 for NFTs. While I was learning about NFTs, I realized that the combination of NFTs with video games was very fitting. In video games, the treasure and equipment you collect becomes virtual assets as NFTs. And the process of using smart contracts to exchange items was very efficient on the blockchain.
At the end of 2018, I designed and created a zombie video game, integrating the concept of playing and drawing cards and packs. Within a pack were 3 NFTs with zombies on them. As a player, the more cards with zombies you collect, the higher your score, and the more tokens you can ultimately earn. From this game, I got connected to other game manufacturers and publishers who were also interested in creating virtual game assets through NFTs. We all had the same idea -- NFTs can bring more meaning and value to the players.
However at the time, many people in the market still believed that tokens and games were riddled with fraud. Since the lifecycle of video games can be short, many traditional gaming companies in the end didn’t find it worthwhile to learn how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their games.
While the nature of NFTs hasn’t changed, the market has evolved. People’s curiosities are growing, more applications are being developed, and more creators are cropping up. I think now is the right time to start talking to companies about how to integrate NFTs or blockchain into their businesses or games.
#NFTplayground
I think there are many opportunities to start a business these days, and people who want to start one should think about coming to blockchain. Not only is there a huge opportunity but the possibilities are endless. And within blockchain, NFTs currently offer the biggest opportunity. However, it can also pose a new challenge to the team’s endurance, because while easy to obtain traction and users with NFTs, the challenge lies in retaining them.
Similar to other blockchain applications in the past few years, when a new concept is invented, it’ll be flushed with many early users. However, because the surrounding infrastructure wasn’t in place, it was difficult for founders to make valuable extensions or applications. And many of these users don’t actually care about these blockchain products and they are only trying to leverage the ecosystem to make a quick buck. Once they earn all that they can, they will move on to another project.
Right now working on NFTs, you can collect a lot of data in a short amount of time and also make some income to keep you afloat. Founders should seize this opportunity to understand these users, then modify and optimize both their products and mentality to retain them.
Since there’s no geographical restriction on blockchain, I would encourage founders to look beyond your country and region in expanding your NFT products. Also, since blockchain is closely related to finance, if you don’t have a good pricing strategy (or token economics) for your NFT products, the prices might fluctuate greatly. You need to be prepared and remind your users of the risks, otherwise you’ll ultimately get scolded!!
#NFTera
This year, I finally consider myself an official NFT collector. I pay special attention to NFTs with contemporary significance, such as Hashmasks. It signals to the public that NFTs are not just for collecting but that game mechanics can also be applied to interact with users. If we look back ten years from now I’m confident to say that the project that really brought the NFT wave in 2021 would be Hashmasks.
In addition to veteran projects like Hashmasks, other collections I care a lot about are related to Metaverse, such as The Sandbox. I believe that the world will become more and more decentralized and virtual. It is very likely that the next generation will be immersed in a virtual world like Ready Player One, so I am also very optimistic about NFTs in digital worlds like The Sandbox.
The possibilities are endless when it comes to NFTs. Right now, few NFTs are connected with our daily lives. For example, I bought a Hashmask. If I want to show it in my apartment, I might still need to print it out. In the future, how will we connect NFTs to the physical world? I believe they can be applied in many ways, including frames, wallets, cars, house deeds, leases, etc. These products in daily life can be combined with NFTs. We just haven’t opened our imagination yet. It’s hard to imagine that only 20 years ago we were having a hard time believing in the power of the internet.
The development of science and technology not only relies on infrastructure, but also the user's learning curve. The world needs to talk about blockchain more, so that everyone will gradually become familiar with it and it’ll continue to evolve.
If you're a founder working in blockchain or NFTs, welcome to apply to AppWorks >> https://bit.ly/3w0WyIl
