The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2405

[Two thousand three hundred and sixty-eight master strokes]

Latest Website: What the hell is Renly Hall thinking about?

This should be one of the most curious topics in the entire European film industry in the past year. From Berlin at the beginning of last year to this year’s Oscar night, Renly and Sisyphus Pictures have appeared one after another. In every corner, some people stand by, some are dismissive, and some are naturally interested.

However, these discussions are still mostly among the high-level people in the film industry, and only real senior people can spy out some unusual changes; but on the other hand, the more secretive the inside information, the more meaningful it is. There may be a big storm brewing.

Those guesses and speculations have initially revealed the brilliance at this year’s Oscars – “Booming Drummer” dominates the Oscars, which undoubtedly changed the pattern of the independent film industry, and even shook the fixed pattern of the traditional academy, which made people Realize the ambitions of Sisyphus Pictures.

From the current point of view, Sisyphus Films has indeed made an unparalleled beginning, but the real purpose behind it has not been fully revealed. gathered around this brand new company.

In the midst of this noise, the Cannes Film Festival is the only exception. Neither Renly nor Sisyphus Films has ever approached it. As the biggest and most important film event in Europe, Cannes, which has always been crowded, is rare. It was clean at first sight.

This is not a good thing.

Of course, the Cannes Film Festival does not need to “reverse” Sisyphus Films. With their status in the industry, they can completely stay out of it with pride.

But Gilles-Jacob and Thierry Fumau know one thing well, and it’s definitely not their style to do things behind closed doors.

Whatever Sisyphus Pictures is planning, they need to have a clear concept in order to keep up with the times.

Whether or not to cooperate is another matter.

What’s more, Thierry was sure of one thing that Renly would never miss.

Renly is a very pure actor, and what he expects to care about is never fame and fortune, movies, movies, movies, everything is about movies, so the blueprint of Sisyphus Pictures is even more interesting.

However, there is still a small problem here:

Cannes has its own pride and persistence. They can’t condescend to bow their heads and take the initiative to find Renly and ask Sisyphus Pictures’ cooperation intentions. This is absolutely impossible. matter.

They need a step.

Then,

Roman Abramovich showed up.

Roman is looking for opportunities to invest in movies in Europe – not a business, more like an interest, and there is a speculation to avoid the official British investigation on tax issues, but in any case, Roman is indeed exploring the film industry, which is Put him on the line with Cannes.

For Roman, Thierry maintained a wait-and-see attitude, not too far away but not too close, always keeping a trace of vigilance deep in his heart; but unexpectedly, Roman’s real goal was not Cannes, but… Sisyphus This makes a subtle change in Thierry’s attitude – it is

certain that Roman and Thierry have different goals, and they both have their own ideas, but this does not prevent them from forming a strategic Cooperation.

Therefore, when Roman issued an invitation to a private yacht party tonight, Thierry nodded readily and agreed, taking this opportunity to meet Renly face to face.

Undoubtedly, Thierry is a master, not secretive, but open and honest, in this way to seize the initiative; and similarly, Renly is not a fledgling child, even in the face of Thierry. Still able to maintain a calm attitude.

“Mr. Fu Mao, I think there may be a little bit of misunderstanding between us. How do you know that I don’t dare to come in person because of the detachment of Cannes?”

Renly responded in a light and joking way. , The half-truth ridicule made it impossible for Thierry to judge how much he should believe in the content of the words.

In fact, Renly is serious. Neither Berlin nor Venice has agreed to cooperate with the Don Quixote Channel for the time being, let alone Cannes, which has a unique status now.

The three major European film festivals have their own perseverance and arrogance, and the power and interests hidden behind them are even more intertwined.

But Renly didn’t want to reveal his details, so he chose a way of ridicule to test Thierry’s bottom line.

Thierry laughed cheerfully, but his slightly narrowed eyes flashed a little light, as if he was looking at Renly’s expression, “Thank you for the compliment, although this doesn’t always sound right, but I still will Take it as a compliment.” Thierry raised the champagne glass in his hand, his eyes hidden behind the glasses looming.

Renly didn’t say a word either, just raised his glass and gestured with a smile on his face.

Thierry took a sip of champagne and said, “According to common sense, champions should be given the highest attention. Obviously, the status of detachment has not been able to take the initiative, which makes me worry about Cannes’ development plan in recent years, our positioning Has the strategy deviated from the track?”

“Haha.” Renly laughed softly, “Mr. Fummer, you almost deceived me.” Such a self-pitying gesture of Gu Ying is neither Berlin nor Venice. , even more unlikely to be the mighty Cannes, “We can change the angle, if a small company just starting out tries to become a content operator, they will not choose Apple or Microsoft, but will choose a more down-to-earth company for cooperation. ”

Are you saying that Cannes is out of reach?” Thierry raised his eyebrows, “Then, this is indeed a compliment.” Thierry showed a genuine smile, and then changed the conversation. , “But here’s the thing, dear Mr. Renly-Hall, you’re definitely not a small company just starting out.” After a

pause, Thierry winked at Renly, “At least that’s not your blueprint. Then, a grand blueprint needs the support of a large company.”

“Andre told me the same.” Renly didn’t deny it, a smile slowly emerged in his eyes, he knew that Thierry had been guiding him to take the initiative. , and now is indeed the time, so Renly did not hang his appetite any more, and said with a smile, “Sisyphus Pictures is trying to build an online streaming platform with its own original content, which will also become an independent film. additional display platform.”

Heavy!

Thierry could sense the heavy force behind the ordinary words, but because it was too complicated and too thick, he couldn’t finish digesting it in a while.

So, Thierry did not open his mouth lightly, but squinted at Renly, waiting for Renly to continue to unveil the mystery.

“We want to be able to build Sundance, Berlin, Venice, and of course, Cannes, on our own platforms, to showcase those unique works of art to the audience, so that these works can get more out of the theater. Show the opportunity and continue your artistic vitality.”

Renly did not explain the principle and content in detail, but only explained a framework, which he believed Thierry could understand.

Sure enough, Thierry’s expression stiffened uncontrollably, “This is impossible!” The words of veto came out of his mouth.

Ren Li was not surprised at all, pursed the corners of his mouth with a smile, and shrugged slightly.

Although he didn’t speak, his expression and actions couldn’t be more clear:

Look, I said earlier that you would not agree.

This made Thierry realize his gaffe, but there was really no way to calm down the surging emotions immediately. He took another sip of champagne and tried to calm himself down. I have to say that Renly is really too bold and too arrogant. , even using “shocking” to describe it is not too much.

“Didn’t Dieter shove you out of the house directly?” Thierry made up his mind about Dieter Koslick’s reaction to the blueprint for such a plan. He calmed down a little and couldn’t help but make a joke.

Renly also chuckled, “He still maintains the manners of a gentleman. But I don’t think he will welcome me back to Berlin again.”

“Ha.” Thierry also laughed, but after laughing, The shock and surprise didn’t dissipate, “You should know it’s impossible.”

“I know, but I don’t know either.” Renly said, “You don’t need online streaming at all, it’s more important. The thing is, France hates it, believe me, I know it very well.” The slightly flickering eyes made Thierry nodded repeatedly in agreement.

“But I know that art films need more display platforms, even in France.” After Renly finished speaking, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Thierry wanted to refute: France’s art theater chain It is the top existence in the world, and even the unpopular art films can find their own supporters.

But Renly didn’t give Thierry a chance, he shook his head gently, “A theater chain is a theater chain, but distribution companies are still commercial companies in the final analysis, and they need to make money. Let’s count the works that enter the main competition in Cannes every year, How many works can enter the theater, and how many can make a profit?” The

reason why Cannes is able to seize an advantage among the three major European film festivals, and even its status is detached, is because it has embarked on the right path at the turn of the century. Orbit, the entire business model and artistic balance are now very skillfully controlled, but even in Cannes, the commercial prospects of works of art are still facing severe tests.

Thie was expressionless, just staring at Renly silently.

“Mr Fumau, maybe you don’t know what’s going on with Nazif-Mujic, but you should know what’s going on with Abdai Kosych, right?” Renly

‘s voice was still calm and calm. The calmness in the shock, but with the strength of pressing step by step, this made Thierry’s eyes flicker slightly in the depths of his eyes.
