Chapter 2369

What on earth is Langley hall thinking about?

This should be one of the most curious topics of the whole European film industry in the past year. From Berlin at the beginning of last year to the Oscar night this year, the figures of lenley and Sisyphus have appeared in every corner one after another. Some people just stand by, others don't care, and naturally some people are full of interest.

However, these discussions still stay among the high-level people in the film industry. Only the real senior people can see some unusual changes; But conversely, the more secret the inside information, the more it means that a big storm may be brewing.

Those conjectures and speculations showed their glory at this year's Academy Awards ceremony. The success of "pop drummer" in the Academy Awards has undoubtedly changed the pattern of independent film industry, and even shaken the fixed pattern of traditional academies, which makes people realize the ambition of Sisyphus film industry.

From now on, Sisyphus film has indeed made an unparalleled start, but the real purpose behind it is still not fully revealed, which also makes the film industry executives pay more and more attention, and the line of vision of exploration is more and more focused on this all new company.

Cannes Film Festival is the only exception in this bustle. Neither Langley nor Sisyphus films have ever approached Cannes. As the biggest and most important film festival in Europe, Cannes, which has always been popular, is rarely seen to be clean. It's not a good thing.

Of course, Cannes Film Festival does not need to "flip flop" Sisyphus film industry. With their position in the industry, they can completely stay aloof.

But Giles Jacobs and Thierry fomau know one thing very well. It's definitely not their style to build a car behind closed doors without hearing things out of the window. No matter what Sisyphus is planning, they need to have a clear concept to keep up with the times.

As for whether to cooperate or not, that is another matter.

What's more, Thierry is convinced that one thing, Langley will never be aimless. Langley is a very pure actor. What he expects to care about is never fame and fortune. Movies are all about movies, so the blueprint of Sisyphus pictures is more and more interesting.

However, there is a small problem

Cannes has its own pride and persistence. It is impossible for them to condescend and take the initiative to find lanli and ask Sisyphus about their cooperation intention. This is absolutely impossible. They need a step.

Then Roman Abramovich appeared.

Roman is looking for opportunities to invest in films in Europe - not business, but interest. There is also a speculation that it is to evade the official investigation on tax issues in the UK. However, Roman is really exploring the film industry, which puts him on the line with Cannes.

For Roman, tieri keeps a wait-and-see attitude, not too far away but not too close, and always keeps a trace of vigilance in his heart; But surprisingly, Roman's real goal is not Cannes, but... Sisyphus pictures, which makes Thierry's attitude subtly changed——

To be sure, Roman and tieri have different purposes. They all have their own ideas, but this does not prevent them from forming a strategic cooperation.

Therefore, when Roman sent out the invitation for a private yacht party tonight, tieri nodded his head and agreed to take this opportunity to face Langley.

There is no doubt that Thierry is a master. Instead of concealing, he is open and frank, seizing the initiative in this way; And similarly, lanli is not a fledgling child, even in the face of tieri is still able to maintain a leisurely attitude.

"Mr. Fu Mao, I think there may be a little misunderstanding between us. How do you know that I dare not come to Cannes in person because of Cannes' aloofness?"

Lanli made a response in a light witty way. The half true and half false banter made tieri unable to judge how much he should believe.

In fact, Langley is serious. Berlin and Venice have not agreed to cooperate with Don Quixote channel for the time being, let alone Cannes, which is now in a unique position? The three major European film festivals have their own persistence and pride, and the hidden power and interests are deeply intertwined.

But Langley is not willing to reveal his own details, so he chose a way of ridicule to test tieri's bottom line.

Tieri laughed happily, but his eyes were slightly narrowed with light light. He seemed to be looking at Lan Li's expression. "Thank you for your praise. Although it always sounds wrong, I will still praise it." Thierry raised his glass of champagne, his eyes hidden behind his glasses.

Lan Li didn't speak either. He just raised his glass to show his smile.

Tieri sipped a sip of the champagne. "According to the common sense, the champion should be given the highest attention. Obviously, he is aloof and has not been able to take the initiative. I can't help worrying about the development plan of Cannes in recent years and whether our positioning and strategy deviate from the track."

"Ha ha." Lan Li chuckled and said, "Mr. Fu Mao, you almost cheated me." Such a self pitying attitude will not be Berlin or Venice, let alone Cannes. "We can change an angle. If a small start-up company tries to become a content operator, they will not choose apple or Microsoft, but will choose a more grounded company to cooperate."

"Are you saying Cannes is out of reach?" Tieri raised his eyebrows. "Well, that's a compliment." Tieri showed a real smile, and then the conversation changed, "but the problem is, dear Mr. Langley hall, you are definitely not a small start-up company."

After a pause, tieri winked at lenley. "At least that's not your blueprint. Then, the grand blueprint needs the support of large companies. "

"That's what Andre told me." Lanli didn't deny it, and his smile slowly came out. He knew that tieri had been leading him to take the initiative, and now it was time. So lanli didn't want to be interested any more. He said with a smile, "Sisyphus pictures is trying to build an online streaming media platform with its own original content, At the same time, it will become an additional platform for independent films. "

Heavy weight!

Tieri can detect the heavy power behind the ordinary words, but because it's too complicated and too rich, he can't digest it in a moment and a half.

As a result, tieri did not open his mouth easily, but squinted at Lan Li carefully, waiting for Lan Li to continue to uncover the mystery.

"We hope to set up Sundance channel, Berlin channel, Venice channel and, of course, Cannes channel on our own platform to show those unique works of art to the audience, so that these works can get more opportunities to display outside the cinema and continue their artistic vitality."

Langley did not explain the principle and content in detail, but just elaborated a framework, which he believed tieri could understand.

Sure enough, tieri's expression was uncontrollably slightly stiff, "it's impossible!" The words of veto come out directly.

Lan Li was not at all surprised. He sipped the corners of his mouth with a smile and shrugged his shoulders. Although he didn't say anything, his expression and action could not be clearer

See, I've already said that you won't agree.

This made tieri aware of his gaffe, but his surging emotions could not be immediately calmed down. He took another sip of champagne and tried to calm himself down - I have to say that Langley was too bold and arrogant, that is to say, "shocking the world" can not be used too much.

"Didn't det just sweep you out?" Thierry made up his mind about the reaction of det koslick, chairman of the Berlin Film Festival, to such a blueprint. He calmed down a little and made a joke.

Blue Li also chuckled, "he still keeps the manners of a gentleman. But I don't think he will welcome me back to Berlin any more. "

"Ha." Tieri also laughed, but after laughing, the aftereffect of shock and surprise still did not dissipate, "you should know that this is impossible."

"I know, but I don't know either." "You don't need online streaming at all. What's more, France hates it. Believe me, I know that very well," he said The twinkling eyes made tieri nod his head in agreement.

"But I know that art films need more platforms, even in France." When Langley's words were finished, tieri wanted to refute: the French art cinema is the world's top existence, and even the most popular art film can find its own supporters.

But lanli didn't give tieri a chance. He shook his head gently. "Cinema is a cinema, but the distribution company is still a commercial company in the final analysis. They need to make money. Let's take a statistical look at the number of works that enter the Cannes main competition every year, the number of works that can enter the cinema, and the number of works that can make a profit? "

Cannes is able to seize the advantage and even stand aloof among the three major European film festivals because it is on the right track at the turn of the century. Now the whole business model and art balance are well controlled. But even Cannes, the commercial prospect of art works is still facing a severe test.

There was no expression inside, but he just watched lanli quietly.

"Mr. Fu Mao, maybe you don't know the current situation of Nazif mujic, but you should know the situation of Abdel Kosch, right?"

Lanli's voice is still calm and calm, calm in the calm, but with the strength of pressing step by step, which makes tieri's eyes flicker a little light.
