Chapter 2482

Tierina's face was covered with fine wrinkles, with a warm and confident smile. It seemed that Mount Tai was collapsing in the front, but his color remained unchanged. His eyes were filled with deep examination and exploration. The aura of the superior permeated from the inside out, and his actions and words could be clearly felt.

Compared with Kevin Sawara and Bob egger, Thierry is more like Katherine Kennedy, but Thierry is more proud, even arrogant. No matter whether he deliberately does so, and whether it is active or passive, his words and deeds reveal a lingering arrogance.

But Langley doesn't feel aggressive. In many cases, pride and ego are the characteristics of every artist. Their alienation from the daily society is the source of inspiration for the achievement of artistic creation. So is lanli himself, but his edge is hidden under the mask of a gentleman.

"You still haven't given up, have you?"

In the face of Langley's exploration and speculation, tieri did not answer and did not flinch, but launched a counterattack, inevitably stained with some edge between the words.

But Lan Li chuckled, "it's only a few months since Cannes Film Festival. If I change my mind now, then I don't need to spend so much effort at the beginning." Then Taijiquan threw the topic back to Thierry, "but I didn't expect that we would meet again so quickly. I thought we need to wait for next year's Cannes Film Festival at least."

The subtext is: what is the purpose of Thierry's visit? Is it for Don Quixote? The results of the last meeting were not optimistic. But now, just a few months later, tieri has changed his mind?

Even if lanli didn't satirize and attack, the subtle banter and ridicule still made tieri smile. "I've heard that you don't like to entertain guests, but I didn't expect that the treatment of friends is the same. Next time I pass by New York, I'll take care of myself."

"Friends?" Lan Li raised his voice and questioned, "I thought we were just business."

Tieri is still not give up, "business is colleagues, colleagues are friends, nodding friends are friends. That's my definition of a friend. "

"No wonder Cannes has friends all over the world, which is obviously a good thing for business." Lan Li gave a slow answer.

Tieri claims to be a man of eloquence. He is not afraid of confrontation and eloquence debate. However, in the face of lanli, he has a feeling that he can't exert himself. The invisible sense of blockage makes the atmosphere of conversation difficult in silence, and then the pressure gradually accumulates.

Sure enough, the rumored lanli was not so easy to deal with; What's more, the charm of conversation is hard to hate.

"Why not Lan Li's friend?" Tieri how can easily surrender, quietly, he also threw a heavy bomb, "I heard that Arthur is in Tokyo, meeting with Hayao Miyazaki, oh, no, to be exact, it should be Kono, that is the other side of the earth."

Hayao Miyazaki, the great creator behind the cartoons, such as "chihirohiro", "Hal's mobile Castle", "Totoro", "windy", "ghost princess", etc; Kono, chairman of Studio Ghibli. At the Oscars ceremony at the beginning of this year, the Oscars presented Hayao Miyazaki with a lifetime achievement award.

Arthur hall is in Tokyo and is trying to negotiate with Studio Ghibli, hoping to set up their own channel in Don Quixote channel and win the online broadcasting rights of all Studio Ghibli's works in North America.

It's not Langley's idea, it's not Andre's, it's Arthur's.

Obviously, there is no doubt that the United States loves and supports Hayao Miyazaki's works. In the animation market, Studio Ghibli's position is comparable to that of Pixar. Since Don Quixote channel can't own the copyright of Pixar's works, they can at least try to contact Studio Ghibli.

In this regard, Langley absolutely agrees. If it can be done, it will be a good thing for the audience, because many of Ghibli studio's works have not been officially released in North America, and are more spread through video tapes and CDs, and the audience has not been able to fully open up.

It is worth mentioning that Tokyo is not Arthur's only stop in Asia.

It can be seen that what Sisyphus pictures is seeking is really changing the entire film industry, but the mainstream market in North America is still not optimistic about the prospect of online streaming media. They think that Don Quixote channel is just another "online rental business", just like Nafi four years ago.

North America is an insider, while tieri is an outsider.

After jumping out of the North American framework, Thierry can see the blueprint of Sisyphus pictures. Those who think that this is the second DreamWorks are absolutely wrong, because their thinking direction is still the traditional film industry. However, Langley's thinking angle has stood at the level of the Internet age.

The network itself is all over the world, and its transmission speed and mode are faster and more diversified than the traditional film industry.

Does this mean that Don Quixote channel can really become an extension platform for cinemas?

"It's true." Lanli readily admitted, which made tieri slightly surprised. Then he could see lanli's gaze projected, "Mr. Fu Mao, please don't get me wrong. We didn't try to hide our tracks. Venice, Berlin, Cannes, and now Tokyo are always like this."

Langley didn't like the implied hint in tieri's words, just like he was doing bad things behind his back. The point is that he talked with tieri about the plan, but tieri refused, and they were at peace; And now tieri has come to New York with the appearance of "betrayal"?

No, Langley won't accept such charges.

Thierry could see the sharp and firm look in Langley's eyes, which made him feel that young people are different after all, and they have something they long for but can't reach.

Thierry realized that he had to show something, otherwise, if this conversation continues, he will only be more and more unfavorable. This is clearly the right rule for business transaction negotiation. However, Thierry always feels that he seems to be at a disadvantage. He doesn't like the feeling of holding back.

"Well, would you like to come to Cannes as chairman of the jury?" Tieri threw out the first heavyweight. He could see the confusion in Langley's eyes, which made tieri break back some disadvantages. Then he threw out the second heavyweight, "Cannes is considering signing a contract with you to allow our works to be broadcast on your platform, but it's just an idea. We need to further discuss specific cooperation issues."

Wait, does that mean... Cannes was the first to stick out an olive branch?

Cannes is still the first of the three major European film festivals to extend its olive branch. Unexpectedly, it is reasonable, but what Langley is more curious about is:

Why?

It's only five months since the may talk. Why has Cannes changed his mind? Even if the development trajectory of the last generation deviates from the track, according to lenley's estimation, it will take at least three years for the three major European film festivals to be willing to face up to the impact of online streaming media.

So, what has changed the situation now?

"You don't look very happy. I thought that's what you need." Tieri picked the eyebrows on both sides, very satisfied with the shock effect he brought, and the initiative returned to his hands.

Lan Li chuckled, "because I know that there is no free lunch in the world. Everything has a price, and I'm more curious about how much I need to pay? " Seeing tieri ready to speak, Langley added, "please don't tell me, just for the sake of the chairman of the jury, we are not so simple. This kind of beautiful words, one or two sentences are very good, too much is stupid."

The chairman of the jury is very important, very important. With a 26-year-old position as the chairman of the jury, Langley has set a new record for the three major European film festivals. Cannes can gain countless attention and commercial interests, which may even affect the layout of Cannes in the next five years or even ten years.

But it's not enough. It's still far from enough. Compared with the copyright of online streaming media, it's far too poor.

Tieri is not surprised, the exhibition showed a smile, "it seems that I did not explain clearly, not the main competition unit, but a concern unit."

Lanli didn't speak and listened carefully.

"Every year, if we can't find the copyright in the market during the festival, we will recommend them to the Don Quixote channel. We won't interfere in any profit distribution, but just provide a platform. The specific transaction is up to you to negotiate, and the final acceptance is up to the producer."

Having said that, as long as Cannes is willing to give a recommendation, it is equivalent to making a guarantee, and Don Quixote channel will be able to ensure a fixed source of works, which is far easier and simpler than their own rushing all over the world to find suitable works. More importantly, the quality of their works is also guaranteed.

For Cannes, it's a no cost business. What they rely on is the aura of Cannes Film Festival. But in fact, they also need to face disputes and challenges from France. All these pressures will fall on Cannes, while Don Quixote channel does not need to face the arrow.

Indeed, it's a reasonable attempt - for tieri, it's a water test, and if it's not appropriate, they can cancel the cooperation at any time.

According to such a plan, the Don Quixote channel will lose money and spend so much energy that it will only get a "one concern unit"?

"Are you sure that's all?" Instead of being overjoyed, lanli put forward more "greedy" demands, "only one concern unit?"

"Please don't push any further." Tieri shook his head and refused to respond.

Blue Li pursed the corner of his mouth, "then put it on hold for the time being." Lanli didn't have any hesitation, said dryly, and then slowly picked up his coffee.
