After Andy left, Renly didn't get to work right away. After an afternoon of sunbathing on the balcony, night finally started to get busy.

Renly and Ryan joined for a private party hosted by Cannes President Gilles Jacobs ahead of the official opening, with all the judges from the Main Competition and Un Certain Regards in attendance, plus an early arrival in Cannes All the cast members and celebrities are also invited.

On the party, there are all kinds of flowers and flowers, and Renly is naturally one of the important focuses.

The funniest moment was the encounter of the "troika", Renly Hall, Ryan Gosling and Leonardo DiCaprio, the three actors known as the most popular at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The highest troika, not only fans and journalists, but also European filmmakers are full of interest and curiosity.

Of course, there is also Thierry Fumau who cannot be ignored.

As the owner of the final decision and selection rights for the films shortlisted at the Cannes Film Festival, Thierry is undoubtedly one of the most powerful and prestigious people in the industry. There are countless rumors about him in the industry. It is certain that he is not easy to get along with. He has a strong and critical personality, which caused a lot of complaints and conflicts during the cooperation process.

But as the chairman of the selection committee, Thierry's work is crucial. He is the guarantee of the quality and starlight of the entire film festival. His skill, ability and taste will determine the direction of the Cannes Film Festival brand. Tough and strong, that's his style.

An insider once revealed that 80% of the works shortlisted in Cannes depend on quality, and 20% are others. The so-called others are connections, direct lineage, interests, and starlight... And this "twenty percent" is precisely the most difficult to control. The effectiveness of Thierry's work in the past ten years is obvious to all.

Everyone loves Thierry Fumau. Everyone hates Thierry Fumau.

By the way, Giles-Jacob began to serve as the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival's selection committee in 1977. After 23 years of precipitation and polishing, in 2000, he became the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival; the following year, Gilles Stier extended an olive branch to Thierry, inviting the latter to succeed him as chairman of the film selection committee.

In fact, Thierry was younger and kinder than he thought.

Gray hair and dense crow's feet are always easy to misunderstand. He is not fifty-three years old, but seventy-three years old, but after the real meeting and conversation, the unique artist temperament is indeed different, not in imagination. The mature and prudent or cunning and shrewd, but the arrogance and the coldness immersed in the self-world of art creators, in addition to this, there is also a trace of businessman's calculations.

If Renly described it, he would choose a word with oriental cultural characteristics: Confucian businessman.

This is really far from the rumored movie selection big devil. However, Renly is convinced that Thierry, working and leisure, should behave differently.

"...In fact, my original idea was to invite 'Gravity' to be the opening film." Thierry showed a shy expression and shook his head repeatedly, "but unfortunately, Alfonso said that later It still takes a lot of time and effort to make, and maybe even Venice and Toronto can’t catch up, is that true?”

Renly was slightly surprised.

"Gravity" and "The Great Gatsby" are both produced and distributed by Warner Bros. But Renly had never heard of such details, and of course, there was no need for Warner Bros. to report to him.

Still, it would be very interesting if "Gravity" replaces "The Great Gatsby" as the opening production of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

"Honestly, I don't know." Renly replied with a smile, "However, when we were shooting, we encountered a lot of technical difficulties, and Alfonso has been trying to solve it and really create a unique film. It’s a space movie with a visual experience, so post-production is bound to be extremely difficult. But you’re stumped by the specific situation, and honestly, I don’t know anything about post-production.”

This is the truth.

Renly really doesn't know much about the complexity of film post-production; but what is certain is that post-production of computer special effects obviously requires more time and effort, not to mention the 3D technology that has really entered the mature stage now, "Avatar" The post-production stage is the most typical representative, and it took nearly three years before and after.

This time too.

After all the filming of "Gravity" was completed, Renly joined the crew of "Drunken Country Ballads"; but the result was reversed, "Drunk Country Ballads" took the lead in landing on the stage of the Cannes Film Festival, but "Gravity" was still in Post-production is in full swing.

However, in the face of Renly's answer, Thierry's eyes flashed slightly, obviously not believing Renly's words, but he didn't break it, and still said with a big smile, "It's such a pity Now it seems that Alberto should be very happy."

Alberto-Barbera, the new president of the Venice Film Festival.

For Chinese audiences, the most familiar one should be the former chairman Marco Muller. He once went to China to study and his first wife was also a Chinese. After taking over the chairmanship of the Venice Film Festival in 2004, Shuicheng has opened the door to Chinese movies, and in the past eight years, it has achieved a lot of achievements.

The chairman of the Venice Film Festival is limited to four years for a week

During the two periods of Marco's presidency, Venice's international reputation and artistic harvest were both pros and cons, which caused a lot of controversy, but it was difficult to describe it accurately.

On the one hand, Marco took the initiative to open the door to Hollywood, followed the example of Cannes, welcomed the arrival of countless top stars, and concocted a lot of topics in terms of topics, which also brought considerable financial revenue to Venice, and even the tourism industry of Venice has appeared. recovery momentum.

On the other hand, Marco lacked sufficient promotion for local Italian films, which triggered a strong backlash from local forces; at the same time, Marco invested too much in the star effect, resulting in a significant decline in the quality of participating films, failing to accurately balance.

That's not all.

Facing the impact of the Toronto Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival's attractiveness to Hollywood is declining sharply, and it has fallen into a rut again; and the economic decline of Italy and the high prices of Venice have formed a contradiction, which makes the film festival's sales market. Gradually languishing, other filmmakers have been discouraged.

In addition, the ambitious renovation project of the Venice Film Palace in 2007 was sentenced to "capital punishment" last year. First, toxic asbestos was found in the foundation, and then it was found that the water quality of the foundation was no longer suitable for construction. This directly led to the plan of the Film Palace. Completely vanished, spent tens of millions of euros before and after, but got nothing.

Worldwide, because of Marco Müller, people re-understood the Venice Film Festival, in a positive sense; in Europe, because of Marco Müller, people also re-understood the Venice Film Festival, in a negative sense.

Last year, one of the hottest topics in the whole European art film field was whether Marco should stay on, and whether he is willing to fight for it, even during the film festivals in Berlin and Cannes; , Marco chose to step down and was succeeded by Alberto, who served as chairman of the Venice Film Festival's selection committee from 1998 to 2002.

This year is Alberto's first year in charge of the Venice Film Festival, and it can be described as a lot of attention and pressure.

The relationship between the three major European film festivals is contradictory, competing with each other and supporting each other, caring for each other and competing with each other.

Behind Thierry's seemingly friendly words, there were secret speculations and spying, trying to learn more from Renly's mouth. Obviously, if "Gravity" ends up going to Venice, he will be very, very disappointed, and jealousy and envy should be indistinguishable.

The smile on Renly's mouth rose slightly. He felt that these intrigues in the field of art were actually kind of cute.

"I don't really know, I just have to cross my fingers and pray. For Warner Bros, they want to catch Venice or Toronto, which is good for the box office. But, we missed Cannes, who knows if And miss Venice and Toronto?" Renly replied seriously, as if unaware of the deep meaning in Thierry's words.

There was a faint smile in Thierry's eyes. Renly's words were implying that the post-production progress was still not satisfactory to Warner Bros. Now they are urging them. Missing Cannes was an accident, but missing Venice and Toronto. It is also a high probability event.

"Oh, poor Alberto. I'm really looking forward to this year's Venice film list. You know, Alberto's artistic vision is always admirable. I used to like to communicate with him." Thierry revealed With a look of regret and worry, his eyes are full of sincerity, and he can't feel any hypocrisy at all.

Renly shrugged slightly and said with a smile, "Sorry, I can't get involved on this topic. There must be an art film listing exchange group between you guys, but I'm not in it."

The teasing tone suddenly made Thierry laugh cheerfully, but he did not respond positively, and then changed the subject.

Thierry never noticed it until after Renly turned to leave and re-savoured it carefully, the stamina slowly came up, and then he realized that, after the rounds and turns, in fact, Renly had come to the end. He didn't say anything, everything was what he took for granted, and Ren Li just gently stroked it. When the whole conversation was over, a leaf among the thousands of flowers did not touch his body.

This awareness made Thierry a little surprised, and then his smile rose slightly. Compared with anger and annoyance, it is more absurd and helpless to laugh at.

It seems that this famous actor is obviously more esoteric and interesting than imagined; the title of hereditary aristocrat is definitely not just a false name for a poor aristocrat.
