The Greatest Showman

The purpose of Alberto's special trip to New Orleans to visit the crew has been revealed: he personally came to invite Renly to attend the Venice Film Festival; and, not as a guest, with "Boom Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" two works Exhibiting, the former is the starring and the latter is the producer, which is undoubtedly an honor.

Such sincerity also makes people feel Alberto's enthusiasm and sincerity.

So how exactly did Renly respond?

"Main competition?" Renly's rhetorical question caused Alberto to pause for a moment, and the slight embarrassment and awkwardness were still exposed.

But Alberto didn't seem too embarrassed, but laughed, "I really didn't think of it, do you care about this?"

Although he didn't say it outright, Renly had already got the answer, and he shrugged, "I don't care, but in this conversation, I have to look at the problem as a producer, don't I? Otherwise, you don't need to come in person. New Orleans, right? So, I have to care."

As an actor, Renly doesn't mind whether or not to enter the main competition unit. It is very interesting to be able to show his work on the platform of the film festival 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, Renly has to pay attention, because he needs to consider the whole team. In addition to attention, expenses are also a link that cannot be ignored - although Renly has no idea how much budget it will cost to go to the film festival, he can Certainly not cheap.

Especially the Venice Film Festival.

As mentioned before, among the three major European film festivals, Venice has the highest consumer spending. 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 give up Venice and go to Toronto ——The name of the back garden is not without reason.

Alberto could only spread his hands helplessly, "Well, I'm not good at eloquence, you caught me, and I don't know what to do now."

This...is this a rogue?

There was no problem in the conversation just now, and then after encountering a threshold problem, suddenly began to pretend to be weak and say that he is not good at eloquence?

Renly was full of question marks, but he couldn't hold back his giggling laughter, "Fortunately you didn't say it, your English is not very good, and you didn't understand what I meant."

Unexpectedly, Alberto nodded as a matter of course, "My English is really not very good, and it is often prone to problems when communicating."

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, do we need to talk in Italian? I don't mind." This is a lie. Renly's Italian can only be used for simple daily communication. Involving a lot of professional vocabulary, then he also surrendered directly.

Alberto didn't know enough about Renly. He only knew that Renly was a hereditary nobleman and a language genius. When he visited Venice last year, Renly's Italian was fine, and he was still in the press conference. Astonished the Italian journalists, and now he is in trouble.

"No, no, no, no." Alberto waved his hands again and again, and then showed a helpless smile, "Did someone say that you are very aggressive?"

"Ha, no, not at the moment, but this is my nature, and everyone is deceived by my mask." Renly also responded candidly, and that serious attitude made it impossible to distinguish the true from the false.

Alberto paused and looked at Renly earnestly, but found that Renly also looked back calmly, without any hesitation or anxiety, bright eyes seemed to be waiting for Alberto to give an answer, unrelenting. Attitude makes Alberto also defeated.

"I can't give any guarantee." Alberto finally answered frankly, "If possible, I also hope that both works can enter the main competition unit, but the specific situation still needs to be reviewed by the film selection committee, and then do Judge and see which unit the work should be assigned to.”

Alberto was a little anxious, and he couldn't blame him. Although he was the chairman of the Venice Film Festival, his position was far from being as comfortable as he imagined; Falling in the disadvantaged position of "begging for help", it is inevitable to become urgent.

I saw that Alberto's upper body leaned forward slightly, staring at Renly, 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 as much as possible. It happens again, the audience wants to see you in the main game, and so do I. Although I can't give an exact guarantee, I will definitely work towards the main game."

"The main competition unit still needs to comprehensively 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 very smooth at this time. eloquently express their opinions.

The main competition units of the three major European film festivals are not that simple. Overall, being able to be shortlisted for the main competition is already an award in itself:

Because the seats in the main competition unit are limited, the film selection committee must comprehensively consider the overall situation. In addition to quality, there are also many factors to consider, such as the power of the new generation, such as the balance of different cultures, such as subject matter collision, such as cultural deserts. Relatively weak environment... and so on, and finally able to be shortlisted for the main competition, each work has been repeatedly considered and

Auditing is definitely not that easy.

The simplest and most intuitive is that although Alberto came to put Renly in person now, Renly was not Alberto's only goal in North America. There may be more than ten or even more American works registered for Venice. In the end, the number of works that can appear in the main competition in Venice cannot exceed a certain proportion, otherwise the Italian mainland will be in trouble, and Alberto will be the enemy again.

Renly knew that too. Although Renly was not familiar with general affairs, especially business management, it was tedious paperwork for him; but he couldn't understand these principles and systems.

But Renly still took the initiative to raise the question of the "main competition", the main purpose was to express his position and put pressure on Alberto.

Going to the Venice Film Festival, such a good opportunity, Renly has no reason to miss it.

The two works "Booming Drummer" and "Nightcrawler" are both unique works that require a lot of exposure, and the style of swordsmanship is difficult to be accepted by the mainstream market, whether it is commercial performance or the prospect of the awards season; now, The Venice Film Festival took the initiative to issue an invitation, how could Renly refuse?

What's more, aside from the two works, Renly is also worried about the prospect of Don Quixote Channel and lacks the opportunity to get close to Venice.

Renly would not refuse Alberto's olive branch.

Perhaps, this time is just the beginning. In the future, Sisyphus Films will be able to have more connections and fetters with Venice, Cannes and Berlin, opening up the situation bit by bit; even if it cannot directly connect with the three major European film festivals However, he can also establish more contacts 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 source of film library.

All of these can be integrated, and eventually weave into a big net that connects all aspects of the industry. In the early days of Sisyphus Pictures, they didn't have enough confidence to let the other party take the initiative to cooperate with each other. They could only gradually open up the situation through Renly's personal prestige. Therefore, every opportunity is precious and needs to be cherished.

Although he had already made a decision deep in his heart, Renly did not give an answer hastily. He did not take the initiative to interrupt Alberto's words. He listened patiently, and occasionally asked some questions. Keep the conversation going and let Alberto "convince" him at the end.

"Okay, why not? Maybe we can try it and see if I can make it to the main competition this year." Renly finally gave the answer, and by the way, made a joke about last year's "Gravity".

Alberto waved his hands in denial, "No, no, last year we hoped that 'Gravity' could enter the main competition, but you rejected our invitation. To be honest, we are very, very sad." Alberto also drooped Look out of the corner of your eyes and make a grieving expression to express your complaint.

"We're all tied up," Renly said meaningfully.

Alberto nodded again and again, and then let out a long sigh, "Then it's settled, we look forward to meeting in Venice next month." The goal was finally achieved, and Alberto's mood was obviously relaxed.

It is true that the name of the Venice Film Festival still has a strong influence around the world. For most works, it is an honor to be able to attend; but Venice must now face the powerful impact of Toronto, "Boom Drummer". It's understandable that he and "Nightcrawler" chose to go to Toronto nearby, especially for a top star like Renly, who can enjoy top-level treatment easily and conveniently in Toronto, and doesn't need to go to Venice at all - even if It is the main competition unit, and it may not be able to win prizes, so there is really no need for such tossing.

Therefore, although Alberto himself went out, he himself had no idea how Renly would respond.

But it took only a moment for him to relax, and Alberto asked, "You're coming to Venice, right?"

Renly laughed directly, "I can't guarantee this, just like you can't guarantee whether you will be the main competition. What do you think?" If it weren't for the main competition section, it would not make much sense for Renly to go to Venice in person. Alberto was stunned for a moment, and then Renly added, "That's just a joke, relax. We still need to see the progress of the filming, and hopefully when the festival kicks off, we'll be done."
