Re:Could this be the new model ? - 2008/07/25 07:33
On the contrary, you're talking about investing €1 million to promote an album! That's at the low end of doing a musical, I'd reckon. The £100 movie is a joke. It's like saying you could buy a computer and "have a hit". It has happened, but not often.
And you'd then have to enter the movie business, with all the usual problems of trying to enter vastly saturated market of highly professional product.
Imagine launching a new act with a documentary/film musical "Let It Be" style. If the film is successful then with distribution, the music will fly into the charts with relative ease. If the film flops it is easily spun into a "critically acclaimed" film and will go on selling for the band.
You won't find backers unless you can work out distribution beforehand. An awful lot of films never even get as far as the theatres. So they are pure loss: no revenue, no ability to even claim "critical success".
I'd be wary of plans of this nature without very heavy partners involved.
Better to piggyback your way into an existing production. Can your artists act?
