If the dilemma of art film is one of the products of the times, so is online streaming media. This is also a fixed feature of every era. Just like the products of nature, there must be detoxification methods beside poisons, and problems always appear with solutions.

The dilemma of art and culture is bound to find a solution. More importantly, is streaming media really the answer?

Tieri's eyes were filled with all kinds of confused ideas, and his eyes became more and more interesting. "So, is it really so beautiful? All these changes are just for the development of art, so that art films can get a broad and bright development space? "

Tieri's query made Langley laugh, but it was no surprise. Compared with Berlin's determination and Venice's hesitation, Cannes's attitude was above Langley's expectation. However, when we think about it seriously, Giles and tieri's vision are absolutely contributed to the development of Cannes to its present position, Their attitude towards new things is worth pondering——

Although online streaming media is a form of fighting against exclusion in the perspective of French culture, it is even more definitely than Germany; But Cannes will never miss the changes and opportunities contained in it. This may be the moment to change the whole industrial pattern.

"Don't believe me, believe in facts, believe in interests." Lanli did not try to defend himself, because there is no need. Business is the best choice. "Compared with words, numbers are the most reliable."

Lanli raised a shallow radian on the corner of his mouth, confident and calm, "we can sit down and slowly discuss the cooperation agreement: what film can go on the platform, what can't; The film needs to be released in theaters for several weeks before it can land on the platform, and what agreement should it abide by; After the film is put on the platform, how should profits be distributed, how should resources be allocated... And so on, we can negotiate face to face slowly. "

Tieri knew that these rhetoric must depict a beautiful to unrealistic vision, and the actual situation must be another scene; But he also had to admit that Lan Li's words were correct. Instead of making a fuss here, he might as well sit down and speak with numbers.

So, the key question now is, should he give Raleigh a chance?

Cannes is not Berlin or Venice. They are more open and changeable than Berlin; Compared with Venice, they do not need to be constrained by power and have more autonomy. Of course, Cannes also has its own problems. The protests and checks and balances within the French film industry, as well as Cannes' plans for future development, are all factors that must be considered.

It is precisely because tieri understands how grand and shocking things are, and how far they are involved, that he can clearly understand the silence of Berlin and Venice. No wonder things have not been leaked. Considering the Oscar winning results, the shock is even deeper.

Now it seems that Lan Li's plan is far beyond imagination.

Tieri looked at lanli carefully. He thought he knew enough about the young actor, but in reality, he was still pleasantly surprised.

"I guess you do have more options now." Tieri didn't respond positively to lanli's proposal. Instead, he used lanli's words in an interview to make a little joke, and then he changed his words, "well, does this mean that you are willing to accept more challenges?"

Tieri can't give a positive response on the spot. He must have time to think and negotiate. Cannes Film Festival is not a simple situation that can be decided on the spot. Langley knows this, and so do Berlin and Venice, and it's only the first conversation today, but he's a little disappointed with tieri's blunt way of changing the topic.

However, the surface of lanli is not obvious, just cast a meaningful look at tieri, those deep meaning also let tieri himself understand, then, lanli went on to say, "of course, I am very willing to open up possibilities, try different things, this is one of the privileges of actors."

Whether tieri finds lanli through Roman, or tieri nods to Roman's invitation, it means that tieri has something to ask for. Just now, Langley has shown his cards, now it's tieri's turn, and the position of the game has been quietly changed.

However, compared with Langley, Thierry is not in "request", but in "invitation". There are subtle differences in posture, which can be seen from his expression.

"What do you think of the challenge, chairman of the jury of Cannes Film Festival?" Tieri's mouth with a shallow smile, do not need extra language, that pair of bright eyes are expressing his pride and pride——

Looking around the world, Cannes is the only one who dares to make different attempts and challenges with such boldness and risk.

Lanli was slightly surprised——

Last year, Alberto Barbera, the president of Venice Film Festival, arrived in New Orleans in person and issued a formal invitation to lenley, hoping that the "pop drummer" could go to Venice to participate in the exhibition; At that time, Alberto also proposed that Langley should be the chairman of the Venice jury, but only for discussion.

Now, the Cannes Film Festival's tieri Fumao has also sent out an invitation, and the matter immediately becomes interesting.

Why use "interesting"?

First of all, the position of the jury of the three major European film festivals itself represents the taste and style of the festival. Each jury must be selected with great care, and the chairman of the jury is even more important.

An excellent jury chairman can often represent the level of the whole film festival, because the aesthetic taste of the chairman will largely determine the ownership of the final awards; A bad chairman of the jury may not only represent the mediocre aesthetic taste, but also be the victim of the competition among the members of the jury, completely losing the right to speak, and then the opinions of the jury are sharply divided, and the final selection result is not satisfactory.

Directors and producers are often the best candidates for the chairman of the jury of a film festival, because their own work is in a position to control the whole scene; In addition, choosing actors is as risky as choosing screenwriters, composers, writers, art directors and so on, because they are more accustomed to the mode of "individual combat".

As the chairman of the jury of the three major European film festivals, the last year the actor was chosen was Venice in 2006 and Catherine Deneuve in 2006; Berlin 2011, Isabella Rossellini; 2011 Cannes, Robert De Niro.

Secondly, the jury of the three major European film festivals often means resume and ability. Although some unexpected names or even unheard of names often appear in the jury list, on the whole, their artistic style and ability in the industry are bound to be recognized.

Otherwise, even if they join the jury, they will not have the right to speak in the end, and they are likely to be just spectators.

Age is not an absolute factor. After all, there is no lack of genius in the field of art; But it is undeniable that this must be one of the reference factors.

For example, in the year when the three actors who served as the chairman of the jury took over such an important task, Catherine de Neville was 63 years old, Isabella Rossini was 59 years old, and Robert De Niro was 68 years old.

For another example, since the millennium, the youngest chairman of the jury of the three major film festivals was Li Gong in 2000, 35 years old; Venice is Li Gong in 2002, 37 years old; Cannes are Luc Besson in 2000 and Quentin Tarantino in 2004, 41 years old.

Perhaps, age does not mean anything in the field of art, but in social life, it means resume and qualification, and no one can ignore it. At the turn of the century, Berlin and Venice had close ties with the Chinese film industry, which broke the shackles and made bold attempts.

If it is not the chairman of the jury, but only the members of the jury, then the age factor may weaken a lot, but even so, the constraints of social rules still exist.

Since the 21st century, the only member of the jury of Cannes Film Festival who is under 30 years old is Canadian director Xavier Dolan, who has been promoted to the jury this year. He has also set a new record for the youngest jury of three major European film festivals.

Giles Jacobs and Thierry fomau showed extraordinary courage - in fact, among the judges this year are Jack Gyllenhaal, 35, Sienna Miller, 34, and Javier and Cannes, which are the boundaries that Berlin and Venice will never easily break, Once again, it proves Cannes' transcendent position.

Now, tieri is inviting Langley to be the chairman of the jury!

By the way, lanli is the same age as Javier. Both of them were born in 1989. Lanli is seven months later than Javier. Javier just turned 26 in March.

Once this happens, Cannes will easily set off a wave of global topics. Langley will not only become the youngest chairman of the jury in the history of the three major European film festivals, but also become the first chairman of the jury under the age of 35 in history. The sensation is comparable to the invitation of Li Gong to be the chairman of the jury at the Berlin Film Festival in 2000!

What's interesting is here. Although Li Gong was only 35 years old at that time, she has been in the industry for 13 years. As early as 1993, she has become the second actor in history to win the highest awards in the three major European film festivals. This also means that she has a deep foundation in the industry.

But what about Langley? Is it too hasty for Lan Li, who is under 26, to be the chairman of the jury now?
