The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone) - Chapter 2480

New York in the golden autumn and October seems to have not changed much. The alternation of the seasons is hidden in the reinforced concrete of high-rise buildings. The passage of time and erosion can hardly leave too many traces on those iron shelves and concrete, but only vaguely more and more. The footsteps of autumn were captured in the cold wind and the windbreaker that was quietly put on.

Strolling on the streets, away from the towering buildings, the maple trees dyed red and yellow in the lower/city area are quietly decorating the autumn, outside the busy roads, among the unpopular shops in the long streets and short alleys. Walking through, you can occasionally see the traces of Halloween, but it is another scene.

In addition to nature, people living in cities are also welcoming the change of seasons in their own way.

“Who can refuse autumn [country novel]?”

Thierry-Fumao took the coffee in front of him and took a sip. The refreshing and pleasant breeze came over his face. The cozy mood made people want to sigh, and it seemed that even the crowds on the street came and went. It’s less noisy and crowded, and New York is less annoying.

Lan Li’s voice came in his ear, and Thierry couldn’t help but chuckled, “No, it should be said that many people don’t like autumn, and the French can’t refuse summer. You should know that summer on the Côte d’Azur is always overcrowded. , That is the busiest season, and New York should be no exception.”

“The French work for a whole year to wait for summer.” Lan Li quipped in a joke-French people complain that the ratio of working hours and official holidays is among the highest in the world, and it can even be said to be far ahead. I don’t want to work, and I’m waiting for the holidays all the time.

Thierry didn’t mind, “I can understand that they are all waiting for Cannes.”

This is self-confidence.

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, “Maybe the French are indeed like this, I can’t refute it. Your love for movies is truly amazing.”

Thierry shook his head slightly from side to side, his expression seemed to be disagreeable, “but now young people are also being destroyed by smartphones.”

France is a very interesting country. They are opposed to the Internet, smartphones, and fast food culture. Philosophy education and cultural inheritance from childhood has affected their society in all aspects, and then they have established a unique system. Even in continental Europe, it is different.

The tradition of film culture, after entering the 21st century, has also encountered a violent impact, and now the mainstream French cultural structure is doing its best to preserve this tradition, eager to be able to pass on the spark and continue, and their rejection of streaming media Not surprisingly.

“But the times are always advancing.” Lan Li holds a different view and attitude. “We will not discuss the huge impact of the first birth of the flame. It is even considered the anger of God…” Relax In his tone, Thierry also had a smile in his eyes, but he did not interrupt Lan Li, “Just say that after the advent of the TV, how many years have been the movie that was once thought to be dying? Has it survived for half a century?”

Thierry shook his head slightly, “You know that online streaming is different.”

“You should know that a movie theater is still a movie theater. The truly outstanding movies belong to the movie theater after all. Online streaming only provides another angle and way of appreciation for the audience. We all know that watching’Avatar’ or’Gravity’ on our mobile phones ‘, that’s a waste.”

Lan Li’s position and attitude are also very clear: what he supports should be the creative space extended by online streaming media, rather than replacing the movie theater.

In France, art films still have a lot of living space, and cinemas are the carriers of film art; however, in North America, two sets of tights make people breathless. If there is no online streaming media, then countless film art creators will Desperate, gradually disappeared.

This is not a competition between traditional film and digital imaging, but a constant battle between business and art in the film industry.

In Lanly’s view, in fact, he and Thierry should have the same position, and France, Germany and Italy should also support the Don Quixote channel:

Because their goals are the same, so that independent art films can find more long-term and broader development space. Even Thierry must admit that not every film in the Cannes Film Festival can find a distribution theater, and the market prospects of art films are still full of thorns.

Obviously, such an argument will also be controversial in the next five years. No one can convince anyone. The emergence of Netflix makes the advancement of the times appear cruel and cold-blooded, until the future that Lanly is familiar with, the movie The industry still has not been able to find a clear answer.

Therefore, Lanly did not expect to be able to argue with Thierry for a result.

The conversation was just a conversation, and after a brief taste, Lan Li took the initiative to change the subject, “I believe that you came to New York on a special trip not to discuss this matter with me.” Picking up the coffee, Lan Li threw towards Thierry. A questioning glance showed a polite smile.

Thierry didn’t follow Renly’s topic, but said enthusiastically, “Why not? Can’t you have any confidence in Cannes?”

“Yes, I don’t.” Lan Li replied straightforwardly, not playing cards according to common sense.

Thierry couldn’t blame Lanly, and couldn’t help but chuckled—obviously, they all know that a giant crocodile of this size at the Cannes Film Festival is like an Oscar, and the interests involved are extremely huge, and all aspects can penetrate the entire film industry. . Every year after the end of the Oscars, the direction of the North American film industry will change; similarly, after the end of the Cannes Film Festival every year, the same is true for the European film industry.

After laughing, Thierry went on to say, “Lenly, please have some confidence in us. This is your original intention to set up the Don Quixote channel, and it is also your original intention to find Venice and Berlin, right? Don Quixote chose to give up, so what should we do?”

There is something in the words.

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Thierry carefully, with speculation and speculation in his eyes.

After finishing the shooting of “Mind Hunter”, Lan Li returned to New York. Before the Pioneer Village Music Festival began, he could have about ten days of rest and adjustment time. The only job was to wait for the “Lobster” to be screened——

However, Lan Li does not need to be present.

In other words, this period is a pure vacation, and Lan Li can relax and sort out the harvest and experience during the shooting of “Mind Hunter”.

Jack Gyllenhaal and Wes Anderson are both in New York during this time. They often meet with Lanly, and they also met Scarlett Johansson twice during the period.

In addition, Lan Li and Rooney also went to watch Woody Allen’s saxophone performance-this is one of Lan Li’s wish list in New York for many years, and it finally came true, along with Kate Mara and… Jamie-Bell (Jamie-Bell)-the British actor Jamie-Bell, who became famous with “Out of My Life”, and later appeared in “King Kong”, “Letters from Iwo Jima”, “The Adventures of Tintin” and other works Jamie- Bell.

Last summer, Jamie Bell ended his ten-year long love run with Evan-Rachel-Wood and returned to being single. In fact, their marriage has already hit the rocks, and they even tried to relieve themselves by getting pregnant. Marriage pressure, but the child is not yet one year old at birth, and finally ends up in a breakup.

After the marriage ended, Jamie turned around and entered the “Fantastic Four 2015” crew, where he met Kate Mara; he played the Golem, and Kate played the invisible girl, and Jamie and Kate were at an emotional trough. There was a spark, but the two did not come together at the time——

Obviously, Jamie had feelings for Kate, but he couldn’t immediately engage in another relationship. The sparks and fierce relationship between him and his ex-wife consumed all his energy. The right people met at the wrong time, and they can only regretfully miss each other.

The amazing thing is that the “Fantastic Four 2015” suffered a disastrous, even a **** defeat after the summer show this year. The entire crew was criticized and under pressure. Rooney and Lan Li had previously mentioned that Kate was under pressure. Huge and insomnia, unable to control himself, and Jamie also encountered the same predicament, which made the two people get closer and closer, finally confirmed the relationship, and walked out of the trough hand in hand.

It was…Jamie’s idea to have a double date with Renly and Rooney. Obviously, neither Rooney nor Kate had a cold about it, and Renly didn’t resist it. This made it possible.

That night, for Rooney, it felt very weird and uncomfortable all over, but for Lanly, it was relaxed and comfortable, “Believe me, if you are in the same room with my brothers and sisters, and then see them Date, you know that Kate and Jamie get along very well.”

“Are you complaining about Chris?” Rooney was stunned~www.mtlnovel.com~ gave such a response.

Of course, this is all digression.

All in all, Lan Li kept a relaxed and happy mood during his vacation. When Thierry called and said that he was on a business trip in New York, Lan Li took the initiative to send out an invitation in the form of the host, and this was where I met today.

Thierry-Fumao is a wise old fox. Calling Lan Li is definitely not a simple “whisper”, he must have his own purpose; and Lan Li is willing to send out invitations, and naturally has his purpose, he doesn’t mind. Confronting Thierry head-on, but some expectations.

However, in the brief conversation after the meeting, Lan Li was aware of a lot of information, and slightly deviated from his expected state, so that Lan Li had doubts about his judgment-could it be that he thought too much?

Faced with Lan Li’s gaze, Thierry remained calm, then put down his coffee cup and proactively said, “Lan Li, you take the initiative to invite, obviously not for the sake of the landlord. You still look forward to cooperating with Cannes. You still look forward to opening up the situation for the film industry.”

After a pause, he continued, “You still haven’t given up, have you?”
