Would she really partner with them for the merch deal if they'd already passed on the film? Couldn't she just call up Bezos and say take the film or no deal? I'm confused No deal on what? Cheap merch... Beyonce is a big artist but we have to put things in context lmao.

I mean, no respected insider wouldn't be posting something about Beyoncé if she doesn't want it. Who knows how many people worked on the visuals and how many appear in it, and how many have seen it, but ofc they wouldn't say a word cause its Beyoncé. It's coming
QueenB Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Also this "she knows her worth" she could've easily done a lower price then demand a higher paycheck for Act 2 after they saw how successful Renaissance was... I honestly feel bad for the small creatives who featured on the project only for it to be delayed into obscurity because they wanted more money from streaming companies 2

The objective thinker in me, like you, loves the ballsiness of the stand-off. She knows her worth and is likely future-proofing herself from low-ball deals down the line by not taking one now. There surely has to be a middle ground that factors in the reality that time is ticking. Pushing it much further lessens the commercial value of the visuals IMO. Really and truly, who - en masse - will give a f**k about the visuals deep into next year for an album that came out two years before? It's about...balance. I get that, but i trust her vision with this. If its taking this long, it is for a reason.
ShouldersSideways Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Some of y'all are well and truly in a cult. The smallest perceived slight to her business prowess or otherwise has you creating conspiracies out of thin air. Jesus. 7 1 2

But she starts high they will never go lower that that for another project. Beyonce is a business woman who knows what she is doing with her product and i trust her.

But yeah, this is just proof of what several of us have been saying on here for more than a year now. The industry is even more money hungry than Bey and keeps note of things. The Gift bombing was strike 1, BIK making very little noise outside of fanbase was strike 2, no one wants to be strike 3. It's not the end of the world and she can easily recover, but she cannot storm into negotiations with 2016 asking prices and expect to have studios fighting over her like they did for Lemonade. 1 1
Bicassie Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 i’m sorry but this is just stupid the visuals release was on hold cause of her capitalist behind not wanting to settle for almost a year? 5 1

Even as a 1 day event this would more than make a R O I for the buyer. its not beys vault Disney hasn’t had a good show since WandaVision and can’t retain an audience. How can you say this if you don't know her asking price? Do we even know the metrics for how streaming platforms attribute revenue to a film? 1
Kingdom Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Also reading comprehension is really weak in here. The person speculated and did not actually say that was the reason why. The person does not know as well. 3

carameldelight Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) Meh, if studios were fighting over the film they would have notated that. The fact that the writer felt inclined to say no one would bite is kind of worrisome. I don't understand Parkwood at all. Edited August 31, 2023 by carameldelight

I honestly feel bad for the small creatives who featured on the project only for it to be delayed into obscurity because they wanted more money from streaming companies The market is so volatile that it's a hard call. Around the pandemic, I remember Netflix was literally dissolving several of its first-look deals amidst dwindling viewership. Netflix and other streamers were canceling shows way quicker than usual to cost cut too. Now, the tea seems to be that the strikes have the streaming itching for content. Such unstableness kind of makes it hard to strategize for multiple visuals because what could be the climate today could totally not be the case 6 months from now. Similarly, accepting a lowball offer now may make the case for more later hard when a) there are no guarantees about viewership, b) the market may be something totally different, and c) there's a very easy clap back of "why pay you more if you accepted less before'. All that said, I don't have a dog in the fight. I just hope sis gets something at least close to what she wants so we can get these visuals and move tf on.

QueenB Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 In other news another artist films a project three weeks ago and their fans already get to buy tickets and anticipate a theater release (and the tickets are selling out the entire weekend at theaters). It's almost like striking while the iron is hot benefits the fans AND the artist 1 2
Bicassie Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 the good news is that the only visuals in existence are confirmed to be only for renaissance 1
