Envying Others Will Get You No Where – Maybe?

 I guess that if you are anything like us, you don’t get fazed by celebrities, and for us, it is in part because we just cannot get into their worlds of sensationalism – for those that this applies to.   They are, afterall, just people like everyone else. Sure, they are on the television set, tuner, or whatever and of course their publicity keeps them in the public eye but just because they have a talent to, say, singing does not make them more than the next person. Having been backstage at various events, however, it is clear that not everyone is unfazed by being close to a ‘celebrity.’

The point to this is that ‘celebrities’ can smell desperation, and then we wonder why people get into bad deals, because from the beginning, they did not establish the fact that while they are a fan of that particular creative person that they are coming in under, that they want to be compensated not on being affiliated, but by their talent. It is fine to be a fan of someone’s music – but when you let that compensate your business then you are in trouble. While a close association can be worthful, for example name dropping in your electronic press kit, you need to also stay focussed and see that it is about your career and your talent.

Being a fan of someones is OK, but when it affects what you are doing in life, that could be a problem, and that can affect some of your business dealings.  We all do bleed red blood at the end of the day, so why would you even want to put them on a pedestal like that. Be business minded, and do not get caught up in the celebrity of the next man (or woman). Realize that your talents are equally as important as theirs and make it clear that if your chance comes, that you want to be compensated accordingly.

People always talk about Sean Combs (in which, a lot of it is in all probability true), but the reality is that Puffy can only do to the artists and people what they allow, really, were they in it for the fame or the fortune?  If you just want to be famous, then yes, latch on to a ‘big name’ and blank out the rest. But, if you are in it to make money and be successful rather than just name-dropping and getting some contacts for your EPK then you can’t let celebrity cloud your mind…

“Downward Trend Now Set Continue” For Euro Blue-Ray Sales

A new report is showing that unlike in the US, Blu-ray Disc movies and players are not catching on internationally.

Screen Digest, based in London, found that of those that purchased  a Blu-ray player or Sony PlayStation 3 by the end of 2009, only 1.5 Blu-ray movies were bought . The figures were partially blamed on the Global Recession and the European  Austerity Packages  . But even with these trends taken into circumstance, overall  purchasing is lower than expected.

2009 total consumer spending on packaged media slumped  2.9% to $17.1 billion.

With people more apt to buy discount dvds sales of more pricey items like Blu-Rays have fallen in harder hit areas like Europe.

In direct contrast, 2009 sales of Blu-ray movies increased 70% in the United States, generating over $1.5 billion in revenue according to The Digital Entertainment Group.

Helen Davis Jayalath, Screen Digest top  video analyst states , “The failure of the Blu-ray format to capture enough of the foreign market in 2009 means this downward trend is now set to continue, with the short-term uplift in video spending that we had previously expect to see in 2010-2011 now unlikely to materialize.”

Screen Digest is forecasting  International consumer spending on dvd/Blu-ray movies to slump  to $14.5 billion by 2014, an average turn down of 3.5% every 12 months  . It also seems to imply  that Blu-ray movies will bear the brunt of this dip  .

“For many people, it seems, dvd remains ‘good enough’ for most titles and the additional cost of opting for a hi-def BD version simply cannot be justified in the current climate of austerity,” the report concluded. The increased bearing of discount dvds puts more pressure on the Blu-Ray market.

The report seemed to minimize data which displayed  that the European  dvd/Blu-ray market saw a 2.3% overall sales rise  to $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2010. It stated that  strong local conditions and a strong first quarter offering from Hollywood was origination to the increase; not a overall fortifying in the sector.

“As long as deep discounting of the standard-definition format by the supermarkets continues, Blu-ray adoption in Europe will continue to be slow because the price differential is simply too large for most consumers to justify in today’s climate of austerity,” Davis Jayalath said .
