Chapter 2058

Everyone is paying attention to lanli.

It is true that there are some exaggerations and some blindness in this sentence. Personal strength is still relatively weak in the industrial system after all, and it is not easy to pry the whole lever. Market rules and social rules can not be changed so easily; But the fact is that lenley's strong influence is gradually extending to the global film industry, step by step surpassing the energy possessed by an actor or any individual, truly attracting the attention of the public.

Even if the crazy idea of the chairman of the jury is put aside for the time being, it is also the wish of every festival chairman to invite Langley to attend the festival.

"Are you sure we need to continue to waste time on this issue?" Facing Langley's ridicule, Alberto showed a slightly disappointed look, spread his hands, made the Italian standard gesture: fingers together, constantly shaking up and down to emphasize his tone change, "how can you say it's a waste of time? It's so sad. I'm full of enthusiasm and sincerity. You should know how much Italians like you. We are looking forward to your return to Venice

Blue Li's eyebrow tail gently raised, and her eyes showed a shallow smile. Instead of continuing to be modest and polite, she said, "is that true? So... Is Venice willing to cooperate with me for a long time? "

"Of course!" Alberto's face brightened, and his words revealed a sense of joy. Unexpectedly, his plan was carried out so smoothly

If lenley's future works can give priority to Venice, it would be great. It also means that Venice can cultivate its own lineage - and the target is lenley!

Alberto can't restrain his excitement just by mending his brain, but Langley knows that what they call "long-term cooperation" should not be the same thing, "don't rush to agree, you should first listen to what I said about the long-term cooperation plan, our definition should be somewhat different."

"Of course, of course, of course!" Alberto answered in a hurry, with the special enthusiasm and urgency of Italians, which made Langley dumbfounded. He had to raise his hand to stop Alberto, and didn't let Alberto go on. Otherwise, the topic might be directly biased.

"Last year, my friend and I set up an independent film company, looking forward to producing really good films..."

"If it's your work, Venice is always open to you."

"I know..."

"No, no, I'm serious. It's not polite. You should know that Italians don't like American style. We all express sincerity."

"... Alberto." "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 may take on a different look."

Alberto immediately understood what Langley meant. He raised his shoulders and sighed, "Englishman."

Lanli didn't mind either, and then he said, "when we set up a film production company, we just wanted to make some interesting works. Now we have changed our mind a little, looking forward to making more waves in the independent film industry and contributing a little bit to artistic creation."

"Therefore, we are going to create a streaming media platform to spread more art films and independent films to the whole world through network channels. If Venice is willing to join this long-term plan, it would be great. We can expect more about the future of the film industry. "

This is also a flash of inspiration for Langley. The unexpected appearance of Alberto makes Langley have an idea: if the works of Venice Film Festival can also be landed on Don Quixote channel?

Before that, Langley tried to let the Berlin Film Festival join his 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 subverts people's viewing habits and film definition; But it does not mean that the blue rite will give up. When new things rise, they need to face a similar stage. Only those who conform to the trend of the times can survive to the end.

What's more, Langley doesn't plan to change the traditional cinema screening mode - which is the biggest difference between Don Quixote channel and Nafi.

For Nafi, the whole business model is the primary task; For Don Quixote channel, the whole art exhibition is the primary task - not that profits and interests are unimportant, but in what way to pursue profits and interests. Nafi chose the concept of big data to fill his film library, regardless of the quality of his works; Don Quixote, on the other hand, would not use such a simple and crude assembly line.

In the blueprint of Lanley's final plan, he will not force the film festival works to be shown on Don Quixote channel, but can provide two ways of cooperation:

First, during the festival, audiences from all over the world can watch the works of each exhibition unit of the festival at the first time by subscribing to Don Quixote channel, but this is a limited time. When the Festival ends, the online broadcast will be offline; Second, after the film festival, those works that have not found a distributor for the time being can log on to Don Quixote channel instead of being buried forever. In addition, those works in previous years that have been offline from the cinema, those that have directly abandoned the cinema, and so on, can also log on to Don Quixote channel.

Of course, such a concept is not yet mature, especially for the former, how to avoid pirated downloading, how to avoid affecting the box office of the cinema, whether synchronous screening is feasible, or whether it can be carried out in other ways remains to be discussed, but in the final analysis, the core idea remains unchanged. Don Quixote channel can find another distribution channel for many works of the festival, So that works of art can also get the opportunity to show themselves.

The details can be discussed; The core idea, however, is feasible.

Unfortunately, Berlin refused for the time being, and Langley was always thinking about Cannes and Venice. However, the relationship between lanli and the two film festivals is not close enough, so we haven't found a suitable opportunity; Now that Alberto had brought him to the door, he began to mention it.

"What?" Alberto didn't cover up and couldn't cover up his consternation. He looked at lanli in confusion and didn't understand what lanli meant. "Streaming media? What's that? "

Blue Li is also unprepared, did not expect such a reaction, can only help the amount. But seriously, it's no accident that Alberto doesn't understand the streaming media platform. After all, Nafi is far from big now, and even in North America, it's just a rising star.

Langley starts with the origin of the whole concept, and then describes the whole blueprint bit by bit.

Alberto seems to be frightened and can't imagine that the whole industry model he knows has been overturned, but he has never heard of it at all. He was shocked for a long time before he was slightly relieved. "Do you mean that Sundance has decided to cooperate with Don Quixote channel? Do they choose to play their movies online? "

"No, no, of course not." Lan Li laughed, had to explain the relevant ideas again, and finally concluded, "we just provide another possibility for those works of art. As you know, only a very small number of works landing in the film festival can be seen by the audience, and even many works can't even enter the art theater. They can only directly enter the video or Blu ray Disc market. Now they can add a choice. "

"No, I still don't understand. You mean, everyone in the world can watch movies on their mobile phones?" Alberto still hasn't come out.

Lenley said patiently, "no, it's through the Internet. As long as there is Internet, you can watch movies on your mobile phone, computer, or your TV or projector."

For Alberto, the amount of information is really too large, and it is difficult to digest.

In fact, this is not surprising. Until the rebirth of lanli, the new viewing mode of streaming media platform is still controversial, including Cannes, which is the most fashionable and advanced, still refuses to accept the screening channel of streaming media platform; In North America, there is even a clamor of boycotting streaming media films into the Oscars - "since they are watched on TV, they should take part in the Emmy Awards." industry insiders do not deny the excellence of many Netflix works, but they strongly oppose the destruction of Netflix mode on the definition of traditional films. Such controversy has never been able to eliminate.

It's 2014, and it's not surprising that Alberto hasn't been able to digest the whole concept.

Langley patiently answered many questions of Alberto, but Alberto was still a little confused and confused. He couldn't help but shake his head to express his helplessness. "The times are changing so fast that I always feel that I can be eliminated at any time and become an antique."

"But it's also the most interesting part of social life, isn't it? Old things and new things coexist harmoniously. Everyone must experience the same process: rebirth, growth, maturity, aging, death, and then quietly witness the change and progress of nature. "

Lanli was still smiling, calmly and calmly talking about his views on life, which made Alberto stunned. Then he clapped his hands and laughed and shook his head to show his absurdity, "God, are you sure it's not my age? No, even at my age, I don't see life so thoroughly. You're such an interesting guy

"Oh, Alberto, please don't be so subjective. As a museum curator, you should know that wisdom is related to age, but it has no absolute relationship. Most of the time, wisdom comes from books, life and my own understanding. I would never think that I am the smartest one among 24 years old. What's more, we haven't talked about talent yet. "

Raleigh's words made Alberto laugh merrily.
