The purpose of Alberto's special trip to New Orleans to explore the crew has been revealed: he personally came to invite Lan Li to attend the Venice Film Festival; moreover, not as a guest, but with two works of "Burst Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" It is undoubtedly an honor to participate in the exhibition.
Such sincerity also made people feel Alberto's enthusiasm and sincerity.
So, how did Renly respond?
"Main competition unit?" Lan Li's rhetorical question caused Alberto to pause for a moment, and the invisible embarrassment and jerkyness were still exposed.
But Alberto did not look too embarrassed, but laughed at the same time, "I really didn't expect, do you care about this?"
Although he didn't say it directly, Lan Li had already got the answer. He shrugged, "I don't care, but in the current conversation, I have to look at the problem as a producer, right? Otherwise, you don't need to come in person. New Orleans, right? So, I have to care."
As an actor, Lan Li does not mind whether he enters the main competition unit. It is very interesting to be able to show his work on the film festival platform and communicate with film lovers. Even if it is not the main competition unit, they can also Unearthed many works worth seeing.
But as a producer, Lan Li must be concerned, because he needs to consider for the entire team. In addition to attention, expenditures are also a link that cannot be ignored-although Lan Li does not know how much budget it will cost to go to the film festival. It is definitely not cheap.
Especially the Venice Film Festival.
As mentioned earlier, among the three major European film festivals, Venice has the highest consumption expenditure. For many independent film teams, it is really unaffordable. This is also an important reason why a large number of North American films choose to abandon Venice and go to Toronto. ——The name of the back garden is not without reason.
Alberto can only helplessly spread his hands, "Well, I'm not good at eloquence, you caught me, and I don't know what to do now."
This... Is this playing a rogue?
There were no problems in the conversation just now, and after encountering a threshold problem, suddenly began to pretend to be weak and say that he is not good at eloquence?
Lan Li was full of question marks, but he didn't hold back his chuckle and laughed, "Fortunately, you didn't say it, your English is not very good, and you didn't understand what I meant."
Unexpectedly, Alberto nodded naturally, "My English is really not very good. When communicating, it is often prone to problems."
Lan Li's eyebrows raised slightly, "So, do we need to talk in Italian? I don't mind." This is a lie. Lan Li's Italian can only be used for simple daily communication. If you really enter into official conversations, Involving a lot of professional vocabulary, then he also surrendered directly.
Alberto didn’t know much about Renly. He only knew that Renly was a hereditary nobleman and a linguistic genius. When he visited Venice last year, he didn’t have any problems with Renly’s Italian, and he paid him back at the press conference. Amazed the Italian journalists, and now he is in trouble.
"No, no, no, no need." Alberto waved his hand again and again, and then showed a helpless smile. "Someone said, are you very aggressive?"
"Ha, no, not for the time being, but this is my nature, everyone is deceived by my mask." Lan Li also responded frankly and honestly, and that serious posture made it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Alberto paused and stared at Lan Li, only to find that Lan Li was also looking back calmly, without any hesitation or anxiety. His bright eyes seemed to be waiting for Alberto to give an answer. His attitude made Alberto lose.
"I can't give any guarantee." Alberto finally answered frankly, "If I can, I also hope that both works can enter the main competition unit, but the specific situation still needs to be reviewed by the selection committee and then done. Make a judgment and see which unit the work should be allocated to."
Alberto is a little bit anxious, and this cannot be blamed on him. Although he is the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, this position is far from as comfortable as he imagined; now, Alberto is trying to open the situation through the blue gift, which also makes him Falling into the position of "please for help", it is inevitable to become urgent.
I saw that Alberto's upper body leaned forward slightly, staring at Lan Li intently, showing his sincerity, "But I promise, I will do my best to push the two works into the main competition, and try to avoid what happened last year. If it happens again, the audience all want to see you appear in the main competition, and so do I. Although I can't give an exact guarantee, I will definitely work towards the main competition.
"The main competition unit still needs to consider the influence of many factors, but it is certain that we are all looking forward to gathering the best works." Alberto's English with a strong Italian accent became extremely smooth at this time. Express your opinions endlessly.
The main competition units of the three major European film festivals are not so simple. On the whole, being able to be shortlisted in the main competition is already a kind of award in itself:
Because the seats in the main competition unit are limited, the selection committee must consider the overall situation. In addition to quality, there are also many considerations, such as the new generation of forces, such as the balance of different cultures, such as theme crashes, such as cultural deserts. Relatively disadvantaged environment...and so on. In the end, you can be selected for the main competition. Every work is carefully considered and reviewed. It is definitely not that easy.
The simplest and most intuitive thing is that although Alberto is here to display the blue gift in person, the blue gift is not Alberto’s only goal in North America. There may be more than ten American works signed up for Venice, or even more. In the end, the number of works that can appear in the main competition in Venice cannot exceed a certain percentage. Otherwise, the Italian mainland will have a skyrocket, and Alberto will be attacked again.
Lan Li also knew this clearly. Although Lan Li didn't understand general affairs, especially the affairs of operation and management, it was a cumbersome documentary work for him; but these principles and systems, he couldn't be more thorough, there is no way, the many rules of hereditary aristocrats are so troublesome.
However, Lan Li took the initiative to raise the question of the "main contest", the main purpose is to express his position and put pressure on Alberto.
Going to the Venice Film Festival, Lan Li has no reason to miss such a good opportunity.
The two works of "Burst Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" are unique works that require a lot of exposure. The style of Swordsman is difficult to be accepted by the mainstream market, whether it is commercial performance or awards season prospects; now, The Venice Film Festival took the initiative to send out an invitation, how could Renly refuse?
What's more, apart from the two works, Renly is also worried about the prospect of Don Quixote, lacking the opportunity to get close to Venice.
Alberto's olive branch, Lan Li will naturally not refuse.
Perhaps, this time is just the beginning. In the future, Sisyphus Pictures will be able to establish more connections and fetters with Venice, Cannes and Berlin, and open the situation bit by bit; even if it cannot directly interact with the three major European film festivals. Cooperation, but he can also build more connections within the industry for Don Quixote Channel, and looks forward to attracting more European independent film production companies to cooperate with Don Quixote Channel and become their film library source.
All of these can be integrated, and finally weave into a big net that connects all aspects of the industry. In the early days of Sisyphus Pictures' establishment, they did not have enough confidence to let each other take the initiative to come to cooperate. They could only gradually open up the situation through the personal prestige of Lan Li. Therefore, every opportunity is precious and needs to be cherished.
Although deep down in his heart, he made an early decision, but Lan Li did not give an answer hastily. He did not take the initiative to interrupt Alberto's words, listened patiently, and occasionally raised some questions. Keep communicating, and finally let Alberto "convince" him.
"Okay, why not? Maybe we can try and see if I can enter the main competition this year." Lan Li finally gave the answer, and by the way, he also teased the situation of "gravity" last year.
Alberto waved his hand repeatedly to express his denial, "No, no, no, last year we hoped that'gravity' could enter the main competition. It was you who refused our invitation. To be honest, we are very, very sad." Alberto was still drooping. Focusing on the corner of his eyes, make a crying expression to express complaints.
"We are all tied up." Lan Li said meaningfully.
Alberto also nodded again and again, and then let out a long sigh, "Then it's settled, and we look forward to meeting in Venice next month." The goal was finally achieved, and Alberto's emotions were obviously relaxed~www .novelhall.com~It is true that the name of the Venice Film Festival still has a strong influence all over the world. For most of the works, it is an honor to be able to attend; but Venice now has to face the powerful impact of Toronto , "Burst Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" chose to go to Toronto nearby. This is understandable, especially for top superstars like Renly, who can easily and conveniently enjoy top treatments in Toronto without going to Venice at all. Something--even if it is the main competition unit, it may not be able to win a prize, so it is really unnecessary to toss.
Therefore, although Alberto himself went on the horse, he himself had no idea, and he didn't know how Renly would respond.
But after a moment of relaxation, Alberto asked again, "You will come to Venice, right?"
Lan Li chuckled directly, "I can't guarantee this, just like you can't guarantee whether it is the main competition. What do you say?" If it is not the main competition unit, Lan Li will go to Venice in person. Alberto was stunned, and then Lan Li added, "That's just a joke, relax. You still need to watch the filming progress of the film. I hope that when the film festival opens, we have already finished."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
