The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)

Chapter 2368: Master tricks

Latest website: What on earth is Lan Li-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, Lanly and Sisyphus Pictures appeared one after another. In every corner, some people stand by, some people dismissively, and naturally others are full of interest.

However, these discussions still remain among the high-level people in the film industry. Only true senior people can snoop out some extraordinary changes; but on the other hand, the more secret inside information, the more it means. A big storm may be brewing.

Those speculations and conjectures initially revealed the prosperousness at the Oscars ceremony this year-the "burst drummer" dominated the Oscars, which undoubtedly changed the pattern of the independent film industry, and even shaken the fixed pattern of the traditional academic school, which made people Aware of Sisyphus Pictures' ambitions.

From the current point of view, Sisyphus Films has indeed made an unparalleled beginning, but the real purpose behind it has not yet been fully revealed. This has also made the film industry’s senior people more and more concerned, and more and more inquiring eyes. Gathered in this brand new company.

In this tumult, the Cannes Film Festival is the only exception. Neither Renly nor Sisyphus Films has ever taken the initiative to approach it. As the largest and most important film event in Europe, Cannes, which has always been crowded, is rare. It became clear at first sight. This is not a good thing.

Of course, the Cannes Film Festival does not need to "post it upside down" Sisyphus Pictures. With their status in the industry, they can completely stay out of the matter arrogantly.

But Giles Jacobs and Thierry Fumao knew one thing clearly. They were blindly working behind closed doors. This is definitely not their style. No matter what Sisyphus Pictures is planning, they need to have a clear concept in order to keep up with the trend of the times.

As for whether to cooperate, that is another matter.

What's more, Thierry is convinced of one thing, Lan Li will never aimlessly. Lanly is a very pure actor. What he expects to care about is never fame and fortune. Movies, movies, movies, everything is about movies, then Sisyphus Pictures' blueprint becomes more interesting.

However, there is a small problem here:

Cannes has its own pride and persistence. They can't condescend to lower their heads and take the initiative to find Ren Li and ask Sisyphus Pictures for their cooperation intentions. This is absolutely impossible. They need a step.

Then Roman Abramovich appeared.

Roman is looking for opportunities to invest in films in Europe-not like a business, but more like an interest. There is also a speculation that is to circumvent official investigations on taxation issues in the UK. However, Roman is indeed exploring the film industry. Let him hit the line with Cannes.

For Roman, Thierry kept a wait-and-see attitude, not too far away nor too close, and always kept a trace of vigilance deep in his heart; but unexpectedly, Roman’s real goal was not Cannes, but... Sisyphus Si Pictures, this has caused Thierry’s attitude to undergo a subtle change——

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 strategic cooperation.

Therefore, when Roman sent out an invitation for a private yacht party tonight, Thierry nodded happily and agreed to take this opportunity to face Renly.

Undoubtedly, Thierry is a master. He did not cover it up, but he was open and honest in this way to seize the initiative; and similarly, Lan Li is not a fledgling child, even when facing Thierry. Can still maintain a leisurely attitude.

"Mr. Fumao, I think there may be a little misunderstanding between us. How do you know that I am not afraid to come to the door in person because of the detached status of Cannes?"

Lan Li responded in a lightly joking manner. The half-truth and half-false ridicule made Thierry also unable to judge whether the content of the words should be trusted.

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

But Lan Li was unwilling to reveal his details, so he chose a ridiculous way to test Thierry's bottom line.

Thierry laughed happily, but his slightly squinted eyes shone lightly, and he seemed to be looking at Lan Li’s expression, "Thank you for the compliment, although this always sounds wrong, but I will As a compliment." Thierry raised the champagne glass in his hand, his eyes hidden behind the glasses looming.

Lan Li didn't speak either, just raised the cup and gestured for a while, smiling all over his face.

Thierry sipped a sip of champagne, "According to common sense, the champion deserves the highest attention. Obviously, the position is detached and the initiative can not be grasped. This makes me start to worry about Cannes's development plan in recent years, our positioning. And whether the strategy is off track."

"Haha." Lan Li chuckled softly, "Mr. Fumao, you almost lied to me." Such a self-pity posture will not be Berlin or Venice, and it is even more impossible to be invincible. Cannes, "We can change the angle. If a small company that is just starting out 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 that Cannes is out of reach?" Thierry raised his eyebrows, "Then, this is indeed a compliment." Thierry showed a real smile, and then changed the conversation. But the problem is, dear Mr. Lanly-Hall, you are definitely not a small company just getting started."

After a pause, Thierry blinked at Lanly, "At least your blueprint is not like this. Then, the grand blueprint needs the support of large companies."

"Andre told me the same." Lan Li did not deny it, and a smile slowly appeared in his eyes. He knew that Thierry had been leading him to take the initiative, and it was indeed time now, so Lan Li did not. Still appetite, said with a smile, "Sisyphus Pictures is trying to build an online streaming platform with its own original content, and it will also become an additional display platform for independent films."

Heavy!

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

Thus, Thierry did not speak easily, just squinted his eyes and looked at Lan Li carefully, waiting for Lan Li to continue to uncover the mystery.

"We hope to be able to establish Sundance Channel, Berlin Channel, Venice Channel, and of course, Cannes Channel, on our own platform, to show the audience those unique works of art, so that these works can get more out of the theater. Show the opportunity to continue your artistic vitality."

Lanly didn't explain the principle and content in detail, but just explained a framework, which he believed Thierry could understand.

Sure enough, Thierry's expression stiffened slightly uncontrollably, "This is impossible!" The veto words came out directly.

Lan Li was not surprised at all, pursing the corners of his mouth with a smile, and shrugging slightly. Although he didn't speak, his expression and actions couldn't be more clear:

Look, I said long ago that you would not agree.

This made Thierry aware of his gaffe, but the surging emotions really couldn't calm down immediately. He drank a sip of champagne again, trying to calm himself-I have to say that Lanly was really too bold and too arrogant. , It is not too much to describe it as "shocking the world".

"Didn't Dieter directly sweep you out?" Thierry made up for the Berlin Film Festival Chairman Dieter Koslik's reaction to the blueprint of such a plan. His emotions calmed a little, and he couldn't help but joked.

Lan Li also chuckled, "He still maintained the manners of a gentleman. But I think he should not welcome me back to Berlin anymore."

"Ha." Thierry also laughed, but after laughing, the shock and surprise still did not dissipate, "You should know that this is impossible."

"I know, but I don't know either." Lan Li said in a whisper. "You don't need online streaming at all. More importantly, France hates it. Believe me, I know this very well." The faintly flickering eyes made Thierry nodded in agreement.

“But I know that art films need more display platforms, even in France.” Lan Li’s words were finished ~lightnovelpub.net~ Thierry wanted to refute: The art theaters in France are The world’s top presence, even the most popular art films can find their supporters.

But Lanly did not give Thierry a chance. He shook his head slightly, "The theater is a theater, but the distribution company is still a commercial company in the final analysis. They need to make money. Let us count the works that enter the Cannes main competition every year. How many works can enter the theater, and how many works can be profitable?"

The reason why Cannes was able to seize the advantage and even its position among the three major European film festivals is because it was on the right track at the turn of the century. Now the entire business model and artistic balance are very cleverly controlled, but even in Cannes, The commercial prospects of art works are still facing severe tests.

There was no expression in Tie, just staring at Lan Li quietly.

"Mr. Fumao, maybe you don't know the status of Nazif-Mujic, but you should know the status of Abu Dai-Koshixu, right?"

Lan Li's voice was still calm and calm, calm and unhurried, but with a forceful step by step, which made Thierry's eyes gleam with light.
