[2370 Tasty Pies]

Latest URL: If the plight of art cinema is a product of the times, so is online streaming.

This is also a fixed feature of every era. Just like a product of nature, there must be a detoxification method next to the poison, and problems always appear together with solutions.

There must be a solution to the dilemma of art and culture, and more importantly, is streaming really the answer?

Thierry watched Renly’s eyes, filled with all kinds of chaotic thoughts, his eyes couldn’t help becoming more and more playful, “So, are things really so beautiful? Everything is just for the development of art. Change, so that art films can have a broad and bright development space?”

Thierry’s questioning made Renly chuckle, but he was not surprised at all. Compared with Berlin’s decisiveness and Venice’s indecision, Cannes’ On the contrary, the attitude is higher than Renly’s expectations, but if you think about it seriously, Giles and Thierry’s vision must have contributed to the development of Cannes to its current position. Then, their attitude towards new things is also worth paying attention to. After

careful consideration –

although online streaming media is a form of resolutely combating exclusion in the perspective of French culture, even more decisively than Germany; but Cannes will never miss the changes and opportunities contained in it, which may be A moment that changes the entire industry landscape.

“Don’t believe me, believe the facts, believe the interests.” Renly didn’t try to justify himself, because there was no need, and business is the best choice in business. “Numbers are the most reliable than words.”

Lanly The corner of Li’s mouth raised a shallow arc, confident and calm, “We can sit down and discuss the cooperation agreement slowly: what movies can be on the platform, and what can’t; movies need to be released in theaters for a few weeks before they can land on the platform, and then What agreement should be followed; how profits should be distributed and resources should be allocated after the film is launched on the platform… We can all negotiate face-to-face and slowly.”

Thierry knew that these rhetoric must depict a beautiful and unrealistic picture Vision, and the actual situation must be another scene; but he also had to admit that Renly’s words were correct, and instead of hype here, it was better to sit down and speak in numbers.

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

Cannes is not Berlin or Venice. Compared with Berlin, they are more open and changeable. 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 from within the French film industry, as well as Cannes’ plans for future development prospects, are all factors that must be considered.

It is precisely because Thierry understands how grand, shocking and involved things are that he can clearly understand the silence on Berlin and Venice,

It’s no wonder that the matter has not leaked any rumors, and considering the results of the Oscars, the shock is even deeper.

It now appears that Renly was planning far more than he had imagined.

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

“I guess you have indeed opened up more options now.” Thierry did not respond directly to Renly’s proposal, but made a small joke with the words Renly was interviewed, and then changed his words, ” So, does this mean that you are willing to accept more challenges?”

Thierry cannot give a positive response on the spot, he must need time to think and negotiate, the situation at the Cannes Film Festival is not simple and can be decided on the spot of.

Renly knew this, as did Berlin and Venice, and it was only the first conversation today, but he was a little disappointed at Thierry’s way of changing the subject so bluntly.

However, Renly didn’t show anything on the surface, he just cast a meaningful look at Thierry, and Thierry understood those deep meanings, and then Renly continued, “Of course, I am very It is also one of the privileges of an actor to be willing to open up possibilities and try different things.”

Whether Thierry found Renly through Roman, or whether Thierry nodded and agreed to Roman’s invitation, this means that Thierry is very interested in Renly. Gifts are also required.

Renly had shown his cards just now, and now it was Thierry’s turn, and the game’s position changed silently.

However, compared with Renly, Thierry is not “requesting”, but “inviting”, there is a subtle difference in posture, which can be seen from the expression.

“What do you think, Chairman of the Cannes Film Festival Jury, how about this challenge?” Thierry’s mouth had a shallow smile, no need for extra words, those bright eyes were expressing his pride and pride——

Looking at the global scope, there is no other candidate except Cannes who dares to make such a bold and risky challenge.

Renly was a little surprised –

last year, the president of the Venice Film Festival, Alberto Barbera, arrived in New Orleans in person and sent an official invitation to Renly, hoping that the “Boom Drummer” would go to Venice to participate in the exhibition; at that time, Alberto also mentioned The proposal for Renly to chair the Venice jury was limited to discussion.

Now, Thierry Fumau of the Cannes Film Festival has also issued an invitation, and things suddenly become interesting.

Why use “interesting” to describe it?

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

A good jury chairman can often represent the standard of the entire film festival, because the chairman’s aesthetic taste will largely determine the final award; and a bad jury chairman may not only represent mediocre aesthetic taste At the same time, it is also likely to become a victim of the wrestling of the jury members, completely losing the right to speak, and then there will be sharp differences in the opinions of the jury, and the final selection result will be unsatisfactory.

Directors and producers are often the best candidates for the presidency of the festival jury, because their job is to be in a position to control the audience; in addition, the choice of actors and selection of screenwriters, composers, writers, art directors, etc. The same need to take risks, because they are more accustomed to the “one-man operation” model.

The three major European film festivals were chaired by the jury. The last year an actor was chosen was Catherine-Deneuve in Venice in 2006; Isabella Rossellini in Berlin in 2011. (-Rossellini); 2011 Cannes, Robert De Niro.

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

Otherwise, even if you join the jury, you will not have the right to speak in the end, and it is very likely that you will only be a melon eater on the sidelines.

Age, this is not an absolute factor, after all, there is always a shortage of geniuses in the field of art; but it is undeniable that this must be one of the reference factors.

For example, the three above-mentioned actors who served as presidents of the jury were sixty-three years old, Isabella Rossellini fifty-nine years old, Robert – De Niro is sixty-eight years old.

For another example, since the millennium, the age of the youngest jury chairman of the three major film festivals at that time, Berlin was Li Gong in 2000, 35 years old; Venice was Li Gong in 2002, 37 years old; Cannes was Luc Besson in 2000 and Quentin Tarantino in 2004, forty-one.

Perhaps, age does not mean anything in the field of art, but in social life, it means experience and seniority, which no one can ignore.

At the turn of the century, Berlin and Venice had close ties with the Chinese film industry, so they broke the shackles and made bold attempts.

If it is not the jury president, just the jury members, the age factor may be weakened a lot, but even so, the constraints of social rules still exist.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, among the members of the jury of the Cannes Film Festival, those under the age of 30 have been the only Canadian director Xavier-Dolan (Xavier-), who was exceptionally promoted to the jury this year. He also refreshed the three major European films. The youngest record for the festival’s jury.

Giles-Jacob and Thierry Fumaux showed a rare level of daring – in fact, this year’s jury also included Jake Gyllenhaal, only 35 years old. Fourteen-year-old Sienna-Miller, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com With Javier, Cannes has indeed shown courage, and this is a boundary that Berlin and Venice will never dare to break easily , once again proving the detached position of Cannes today.

And now, Thierry is inviting Renly to be president of the jury!

By the way, Renly is the same age as Javier, both of whom were born in 1989, and Renly is seven months later than Javier, who just turned twenty-six in March not long ago.

Once it does happen, Cannes will easily set off a global buzz, Renly will not only become the youngest jury president in the history of the three major European film festivals, but also the first in history under the age of 35 The chairman of the jury, the sensation is comparable to the 2000 Berlin Film Festival inviting Li-Gong as the chairman of the jury!

The interesting part is here. Although Li-Gong was only 35 years old, she has been in the industry for thirteen years. As early as 1993, she has become the second starring film in history to win the top awards of the three major European film festivals. The actor, which also means that she has a deep heritage in the industry.

But what about Renly?

Is it too hasty for Renly, who is under 26 years old, to be the chairman of the jury now?
