It seems that there is not much change in New York in October. The alternation of seasons is hidden in the reinforced concrete of high-rise buildings. The passage and erosion of time can hardly leave too many traces on those iron shelves and concrete. It can only vaguely capture the pace of autumn from the increasingly bleak cold wind and the wind clothes quietly put on.
Walking on the streets, far away from the towering buildings, the maple trees dyed red and yellow in Xiacheng District are quietly decorating the autumn. Outside the busy roads, walking through the unpopular shops in the long streets, you can occasionally see the traces of Halloween, but it is another scene.
In addition to nature, people living in cities are also meeting the change of seasons in their own way.
"Who can refuse autumn?"
Tieri Fumao took a sip of the coffee in front of him. The refreshing breeze swept his face. His pleasant mood made people want to sigh. It seemed that even the people coming and going on the streets were not so noisy and crowded, and New York was not so boring.
The voice of lanli came from his ear, and tieri couldn't help laughing. "No, it should be said that many people don't like autumn, so the French can't refuse summer. You should know that summer on the blue coast is always full of people. That's the busiest season, and New York is no exception."
"The French work all year to wait for the summer." Make complaints about the fact that the French are complaining that the proportion of working hours and official holidays is the highest in the world, and even way ahead. They are not at all working at all times and are waiting for the holidays all the time.
Tieri did not mind, "I can understand that they are waiting for Cannes."
It's confidence.
The blue Li eyebrow tail lightly rises, "perhaps the Frenchman really is such, I cannot refute.". Your love of movies is really amazing. "
Tieri shook his head slightly from side to side, with a different expression. "But now young people are being destroyed by smartphones."
France is a very interesting country. They are against the Internet, smart phones and fast food culture. Philosophy education and cultural inheritance from childhood have influenced their society, and then they have established a unique system. Even in continental Europe, it's different.
After entering the 21st century, the tradition of film culture has also suffered a fierce impact. Now the mainstream cultural structures in France are trying their best to preserve this tradition, eager to inherit the spark, so it is not surprising that they reject the streaming media.
"But the times are always improving." However, lanli held a different attitude. "Let's not discuss the huge impact of fire when it was first born. It was even considered to be the anger of God..." the relaxed tone made tieri smile, but did not interrupt lanli. "Just say that after the advent of television, the film was once considered to be dying out, How many years have you survived? Half a century? "
Tieri shook his head slightly. "You know online streaming is different."
"You should know that cinemas are still cinemas, and really great movies belong to cinemas after all. Online streaming media only provides the audience with another angle and way of appreciation. We all know that watching 'Avatar' or 'gravity' on our mobile phones is a waste. "
Lanli's stance is also very clear: what he supports should be the creative space extended by online streaming media, rather than replacing the position of cinema.
In France, art film still has a lot of living space, and cinema is the carrier of film art; However, in North America, two sets of tights are breathless. If there is no online streaming media, countless film art creators will have no choice but to disappear.
This is not a competition between traditional film and digital image, but a competition between business and art in the film industry.
In Langley's view, in fact, he and tieri should share the same position, while France, Germany and Italy should also support Don Quixote channel
Because their goals are the same, so that independent art film can find a more long-term and broader development space. Even tieri must admit that not every film shortlisted in Cannes Film Festival can find a distribution cinema, and the market prospect of art films is still full of thorns.
However, it is obvious that such a debate will continue in the next five years, and no one can convince anyone. However, Naifei's birth makes the advancement of the times cruel and cold-blooded. Until the future known to blue Lee, the film industry still has not been able to find a clear answer.
Therefore, Langley did not expect to be able to argue with tieri a result.
The conversation was just a conversation. After a brief taste, Langley took the initiative to change the topic. "I believe you didn't come to New York to discuss this with me." Taking up the coffee, Langley cast an inquiring look at tieri, showing a polite and appropriate smile.
Tieri did not follow the Langley's topic, but said excitedly, "why not? Can't you have a little faith in Cannes? "
"Yes, I didn't." Blue Li dry crisp answer, not according to common sense.
Tieri can't blame Langley, so he can't help laughing. Obviously, they all know that Cannes Film Festival is just like Oscar, which involves huge interests and can penetrate into the whole film industry in all aspects. Every year after the Oscar, the direction of North American film industry will change; Similarly, after the Cannes Film Festival every year, so does the European film industry.
After laughing, Thierry continued, "lenley, please have some confidence in us. That's why you set up Don Quixote channel. It's also why you found Venice and Berlin, isn't it? If even don quixote chose to give up, what should we do? "
overtones in conversation.
Blue Li slightly raised eyebrow tail, carefully looked at tieri, eyes revealed speculation and speculation.
After the shooting of "soul Hunter", Langley returned to New York. Before the Pioneer Village Music Festival, he could have about ten days to rest and adjust. His only job was to wait for the "lobster" to be shown——
However, Langley does not need to be present.
In other words, this time is a pure vacation. Lanli can relax and sort out the harvest and experience of "mind Hunter" during shooting.
Jack Gyllenhaal and Wes Anderson are both in New York during this period of time. They often meet with Langley, and they also meet Scarlett Johnson twice.
In addition, lenley and Rooney also went to watch Woody Allen's Saxophone performance, which is one of lenley's long cherished wishes for coming to New York, and finally came true, accompanied by Kate Mara and Jamie bell, who became famous by "jumping out of my life", and later starred in "King Kong", "letter from Iwo Jima" and "letter from Iwo Jima" "The adventures of Tintin" and other works of the British actor Jamie bell.
Last summer, Jamie bell ended his ten-year love run with Evan Rachel wood and returned to single. In fact, their marriage has long been on the rocks. They even tried to relieve the pressure of marriage through pregnancy, but the child was not yet one year old and ended up breaking up.
After the marriage, Jamie turns around and enters the "magic four 2015" crew, where he meets Kate Mara; He plays the stone man, while Kate plays the invisible woman. Jamie and Kate are at a low emotional stage, but they didn't get together at that time——
Obviously, Jamie has feelings for Kate, but he can't get into another relationship immediately. His relationship with his ex-wife is full of sparks and intense, which makes him spend all his energy. The right people meet at the wrong time, and they can only miss each other with regret.
What's amazing is that "magic four 2015" suffered a disastrous defeat or even a bloody collapse after its summer release this year. The whole crew was criticized and under pressure. Previously, Rooney had mentioned with Langley that Kate was under great mental pressure and fell into insomnia, unable to control herself, and Jamie was also in the same predicament, which made them get closer and closer, Finally confirmed the relationship, hand in hand out of the trough.
It's Jamie's idea to have a double date with lanli and Rooney. It's obvious that neither Rooney nor Kate are interested in it, and lanli doesn't resist it, so it's possible to make the trip.
That night, for Rooney, it was very strange and uncomfortable, but for Lanley, it was relaxed and comfortable. "Believe me, if you share a room with my brothers and sisters and see their date, you know Kate and Jamie are very friendly."
"Are you make complaints about Chris?" LUNI was stunned and gave such a response.
Of course, these are all digressions.
All in all, lanli was in a relaxed and happy mood during the holiday. When tieri called to say that he was on a business trip in New York, lanli took the initiative to send out an invitation as the host, which led to today's meeting.
Tieri Fumao is an old fox full of wisdom. Calling lanli is not a simple "whim". He must have his own purpose; Lanli's willingness to offer an invitation naturally has his purpose. He doesn't mind confrontation with tieri. Instead, he looks forward to it.
However, in the short conversation after the meeting, lanli noticed a lot of information, and slightly deviated from his expected state, so that lanli doubted his judgment - did he think too much?
In the face of Langley's gaze, tieri always kept calm, then put down his coffee cup and took the initiative to say, "Langley, you take the initiative to invite, obviously not for the sake of being the host. You are still looking forward to cooperating with Cannes, and you are still looking forward to making a start for the film industry."
After a pause, he continued, "you still haven't given up, have you?"
