If the dilemma of art films is one of the products of the times, then the same is true for online streaming media. This is also a fixed feature of every era. Just like a product of nature, there must be an antidote next to the poison, and the problem is always comes with solutions.
There must be a solution to arts culture's woes, and more importantly, is streaming really the answer?？
Thierry looked at Renly, whose eyes were full of all kinds of chaotic thoughts, and his eyes couldn't help but become more and more playful, "So, are things really so beautiful? Everything is just for the development of art. Changes will allow art films to gain a broad and bright space for development？”
Thierry's question made Renly chuckle, but he was not surprised at all. Compared with Berlin's decisiveness and Venice's hesitation, Cannes' attitude was higher than Renly's expectations, but seriously thinking about it I think that the vision of Gilles and Thierry is definitely indispensable for the development of Cannes to its current position. So, their attitude towards new things is worth pondering carefully.——
Although online streaming media is a form of resolute combat against exclusion from a French cultural perspective, even more resolutely than in Germany; Cannes will never miss the changes and opportunities contained in it, which may change the entire industry structure. time.
“Don't believe me, believe in facts, believe in interests." Renly didn't try to defend himself, because there was no need, business is the best choice, "Compared to words, numbers are the most reliable..”
Renly's lips curved slightly, confidently and calmly, "We can sit down and slowly discuss the cooperation agreement: which movies can be put on the platform and which ones can't; the movie needs to be released in theaters for a few weeks before it can be put on the platform. What agreements should be followed? After the movie is put on the platform, how should the profits be distributed, how should the resources be allocated... and so on, we can all negotiate slowly face to face..”
Thierry knew that these rhetoric must paint a vision that is so beautiful that it is unrealistic, and the actual situation must be another story; but he also had to admit that Renly's words were correct, and instead of being extravagant here, Why not sit down and let the numbers speak for themselves?.
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 more changeable. Compared with Venice, they do not need to be constrained by power and have more independent rights. Of course, Cannes also has its own problems, from France Protests and checks and balances within the 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 and shocking the matter is and how wide-ranging it is, so he can clearly understand the silence of Berlin and Venice. No wonder the matter is so strict that no news has been leaked. Combined with the Oscar winning results, it is still shocking. To go deeper.
Now it seems that what Renly planned is far beyond imagination..
Thierry looked at Renly carefully. He thought he had a good understanding of the young actor, but in reality, he was still surprised..
“I guess you do have more options open now." Thierry did not respond directly to Renly's proposal, but made a small joke based on the words Renly used in the interview, and then changed the words, "Then , does this mean you are willing to accept more challenges?？”
It was impossible for Thierry to give a positive response on the spot. He would definitely need time to think and discuss. The situation at the Cannes Film Festival was not something that could simply be decided on the spot. Renly knew this, and the same was true for Berlin and Venice. And today is just our first conversation, but I'm still a little disappointed with Thierry's abrupt way of changing the subject..
However, Renly didn't show it on the surface. He just cast a meaningful look at Thierry. Those deeper meanings were understood by Thierry himself. Then Renly continued, "Of course, I am very Being willing to open up possibilities and try different things is one of the privileges of an actor.”
Whether Thierry found Renly through Roman, or Thierry nodded and agreed to Roman's invitation, this means that Thierry also wants Renly. Just now Renly has shown his trump card, and now Then it was Thierry's turn, and the position of the game quietly changed..
However, compared with Renly, Thierry is not "requesting", but "inviting". There is a subtle difference in posture, which can be seen from his expression..
“What do you think of this challenge as chairman of the Cannes Film Festival jury? "There was a slight smile on the corner of Thierry's mouth. No need for extra words, those bright eyes were expressing his pride and pride.——
Looking around the world, there is no one else but Cannes who dares to make such bold and risky attempts at different challenges..
Renly was a little surprised——
Last year, the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, Alberto Barbera, personally arrived in New Orleans and issued a formal invitation to Renly, hoping that "Blast Drummer" could go to Venice to participate in the exhibition; at that time, Alberto also mentioned that Renly would be the chairman of the Venice jury. proposal, but only for discussion.
Now, Thierry Frémaux from the Cannes Film Festival has also extended 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 carefully selected, and the chairman of the jury is even more crucial..
An excellent 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 , and at the same time, it is very likely to become a victim of the wrestling between the jury members and completely lose the right to speak. Then there will be sharp differences in opinions within the jury, and the final selection result will be unsatisfactory..
Directors and producers are often the best candidates to chair the film festival jury, because their job is to be in a position to control the entire scene; in addition, they select actors and screenwriters, composers, writers, art directors, etc. They all need to take risks because they are more accustomed to the "individual combat" mode..
The last time an actor was selected as the chairman of the jury of the three major European film festivals was in Venice in 2006, Catherine-Deneuve; in Berlin in 2011, Isabella Rossellini (Isabella-Rossellini); Cannes 2011, Robert De Niro.
Secondly, the juries of the three major European film festivals often represent resumes and abilities. Although some unexpected names often appear in the jury lists, or even names that have not been heard of, overall, their artistic style in the industry and ability must be recognized to a certain extent.
Otherwise, even if you join the jury, you will have no say in the end and will most likely just be spectators..
Age, this is not an absolute factor. After all, there is always no shortage of geniuses in the art field; but it is undeniable that this must be one of the reference factors..
For example, the three actors mentioned above who served as presidents of the jury were sixty-three years old in the year they took over such an important task, Isabella Rossellini was fifty-nine years old, and Robert... De Niro is 68 years old.
For another example, since the turn of the millennium, the youngest jury presidents of the three major film festivals were Li Gong in Berlin in 2000, who was 35 years old; Li Gong in Venice in 2002, who was 37 years old; Cannes is 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 qualifications, which no one can ignore. At the turn of the century, Berlin and Venice had close ties with the Chinese film industry. Only then did he break the fixed shackles and make a bold attempt.
If you are not the chairman of the jury, but just a member of the jury, then the age factor may be weakened a lot, but even so, the constraints of social rules still exist..
Since the 21st century, the only member of the Cannes Film Festival jury who is under the age of 30 is Canadian director Xavier-Dolan, who was promoted to the jury this year. He also broke the top three in Europe. Youngest Film Festival Jury Record.
Gilles Jacob and Thierry Frédéric showed rare courage - in fact, this year's jury also includes Jake Gyllenhaal, who is only 35 years old. Fourteen-year-old Sienna-Miller, coupled with Javier, Cannes has indeed shown courage. This is a boundary that Berlin and Venice will never dare to break easily. It once again proves that Cannes is today transcendental position.
But now, Thierry is inviting Renly to become the president of the jury！
By the way, Renly is the same age as Javier. They were both born in 1989, and Renly is seven months later than Javier. Javier just turned twenty-six in March..
Once this happens, Cannes will easily set off a global frenzy of topics. Not only will Renly become the youngest jury president in the history of the three major European film festivals, but he will also become the first person under the age of thirty-five in history. The sensation was comparable to the 2000 Berlin Film Festival inviting Li Gong to serve as jury president.！
The interesting part is here. Although Li Gong was only 35 years old at the time, she had been in the industry for thirteen years. As early as 1993, she had become the second starring film in history to win the top awards at the three major European film festivals. actress, which also means that she has a profound background in the industry.
But what about Renly? Renly, who is not yet twenty-six years old, is now serving as the chairman of the jury. Is it too hasty?？
