The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2093

[2057 Acting by chance]

Everyone was watching Renly.

This sentence is indeed a bit exaggerated and a bit blind. After all, individual power is still relatively weak in the industrial system, and it is impossible to easily leverage the entire lever. The laws of the market and social rules cannot be changed so easily; but the fact is that Renly’s powerful Influence is gradually extending to the global film industry, step by step beyond the energy possessed by an actor or any individual, and truly attracting attention.

Even putting aside the madness of the jury president for a moment, inviting Renly to the festival is the wish of every festival president.

“Are you sure we need to continue wasting time on this issue?” Facing Renly’s ridicule, Alberto showed a slightly disappointed look, spread his hands, and made the standard Italian gesture: fingers together Together, swaying up and down to emphasize the change of tone, “How can you say that it is a waste of time? This is so sad for me, but I am full of enthusiasm and sincerity, you should know how Italians like you, we Looking forward to your return to Venice again.”

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, a slight smile appeared in his eyes, instead of continuing to be humble and polite, he said, “Is that really the case? Then… …Would Venice be willing to cooperate with me for a long time?”

“Of course!” Alberto’s expression brightened, and his words revealed a joy and joy. He never thought that his plan would be executed so smoothly:

if Renly If all future works can give priority to Venice, it would be great, which also means that Venice can cultivate its own direct line and the object is still Renly!

Just thinking about it, Alberto couldn’t suppress his excitement, but Renly knew that the “long-term cooperation” they were talking about shouldn’t be the same thing, “Don’t be in a hurry to agree, you should listen to me first. We should define a long-term cooperation plan differently.”

“Of course, of course!” Alberto answered hurriedly, with the enthusiasm and urgency unique to the Italians, which made Renly laugh, and had no choice but to laugh. He raised his hand to stop Alberto, and did not let Alberto continue to speak, otherwise the topic might be diverted directly.

“Last year, my friends and I started an independent film company, looking forward to making really good films…”

“If it’s your work, Venice is always open to welcome you.”

“I know…”

“No no, I’m serious, I’m not polite, you should know that Italians don’t like the American way, we all express our sincerity.”

“… Alberto.

Renly showed a rare helpless expression and cast his eyes with a smile on his face. “I know Italians are very warm and sincere, but sometimes, we should slow down and leave some buffer and breathing space for each other. , things might look different.

Alberto immediately understood what Renly meant. He shrugged his shoulders high and sighed, “British.

”

Renly didn’t mind, and then continued, “We started a film production company, initially hoping to make some interesting works, but now I have changed my mind a little bit, looking forward to creating more waves in the independent film industry, for

the

A small contribution to artistic creation.

”

So, we are going to create a streaming media platform, so that more art films and independent films can be spread to the world through online channels.

It would be great if Venice were willing to join this long-term plan, and we can expect more from the future of the film industry.

”

This is also a flash of inspiration for Renly. Alberto’s unexpected appearance made Renly have an idea: If the works of the Venice Film Festival can also be released on the Don Quixote Channel?

Previously, Renly tried to make the Berlin film. The festival joined its own plan, but it was rejected. The concept of streaming media platform is still too advanced, far from the concept of traditional cinema, and even subverted people’s viewing habits and movie definition; but it does not mean that Renly will give up , when any new thing rises, it needs to face a similar stage, and only those who conform to the trend of the times can survive to the end.

What’s more, Renly has no plans to change the traditional mode of theatrical screening. The biggest difference.

For Netflix, the entire business model is the top priority; for Don Quixote Channel, the entire art display is the top priority. It’s not that profits and interests are not important, but what kind of In order to pursue profits and interests, Netflix chose the concept of big data to fill its own film library, regardless of the quality of the works; and Don Quixote would not use such a simple and rude assembly line method.

In the end, Renly conceived In the blueprint, he will not mandate that the festival works be screened on the Don Quixote Channel, but can provide two ways of cooperation:

First, during the film festival, audiences from all over the world can watch the works of each screening unit of the film festival for the first time by subscribing to the Don Quixote channel, but this is a limited time. Second, after the film festival, those works that have not found a distributor for the time being can choose to log on the Don Quixote channel, so as not to be buried forever. In addition, those works of previous years have been removed from the theater. Online, directly abandoning theatrical release, and so on, all of which can also be logged on Don Quixote Channel.

Of course, such a concept is not yet mature, especially for the former, how to avoid pirated downloads, how to avoid affecting the box office of the theater, whether it is feasible to simultaneously show, or whether to use other methods, these are all to be discussed, but in the final analysis, the core idea is the same Yes, Don Quixote Channel can find another distribution channel for many works of the film festival, so that artistic works can also get the opportunity to show themselves.

The specific details can be negotiated; while the core idea, Renly believes that it is feasible.

Regrettably, Berlin declined for the time being, and Renly was always thinking about Cannes and Venice.

However, the bridge between Renly and these two film festivals is still not close enough, so he never found a suitable opportunity; now that Alberto came to the door, he also mentioned it smoothly.

“What?” Alberto didn’t hide and couldn’t hide his surprise. He looked at Renly with a bewildered face. He didn’t understand what Renly meant. “Streaming media? What is that?”

Renly was also caught off guard, completely unexpected. With such a reaction, he can only hold his forehead.

But seriously, Alberto’s lack of understanding of streaming platforms doesn’t seem to be an accident. After all, Netflix is still far from big, and it’s just a rising star even within North America.

Renly starts by explaining the origin of the whole concept, and then paints the blueprint of the whole plan bit by bit.

Alberto seemed to be frightened and dared not imagine: the entire industry model he knew had been subverted, but he had not heard anything at all, and was shocked for a long time before he recovered slightly, “You mean, Sundance Have you decided to work with Don Quixote? Are their movies streaming online?”

“No, no, of course not.” Renly laughed and had to explain the idea again, finally concluding, “We’re just offering another possibility for those works of art. You know, at the festival. Only very few works can be seen by the audience, and even many works cannot even enter the art theater chain, and can only go directly to the video tape or Blu-ray disc market. Now they can add an option.”

“No, I still I don’t understand, you mean, everyone in the world can watch movies on their mobile phones?” Alberto still didn’t get around.

Renly said patiently, “No, it is through the Internet. As long as there is an Internet, you can watch movies on your mobile phone, computer, or your own TV or projector.”

For Alberto, the amount of information is really too much .

It’s hard to digest.

In fact, this is not surprising. Until the rebirth of Renly through time, the new way of watching movies on the streaming media platform is still controversial, including the most fashionable and advanced Cannes still refuses to accept the screening channel of the streaming media platform; There has been a wave of boycotts of streaming movies entering the Oscars. “Since they are watched on TV, they should participate in the Emmy Awards.” Industry insiders do not deny the excellence of many Netflix works, but they strongly oppose the Netflix model’s definition of traditional movies. Destruction, such a controversy has never been able to be eliminated.

It’s 2014, and it’s no surprise that Alberto hasn’t been able to digest the whole concept.

Renly answered many of Alberto’s questions patiently, but Alberto was still a little confused. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com seemed to understand, but he couldn’t help but be amused, and repeatedly shook his head to express his helplessness , “The times are changing so fast, I always feel that I may be eliminated at any time and become an antique.”

“But this is also the most interesting part of social life, isn’t it? Old things and new things coexist in contradiction but harmoniously. However, everyone must go through the same process: rebirth, growth, maturity, old age, death, and then quietly witnessing the changes and progress of nature.”

Renly still had a big smile on his face, and spoke his views on life frankly and calmly, but this made Alberto stunned for a while, then he clapped his hands and laughed, shaking his head again and again to express his absurdity, “God, you are sure it’s not me. age? No, even at my age, you don’t necessarily see life so thoroughly, you’re an interesting fellow.”

“Oh, Alberto, please don’t be so subjective. As a museum director, you should I know that wisdom is related to age, but it has no absolute relationship. Many times, wisdom comes from books, life and my own understanding. I will never think that I am the smartest among the twenty-four years old. There’s no mention of talent.”

Renly’s words made Alberto laugh happily.
