Alberto left New Orleans, Lanley called Arthur and informed the "Explosive Drummer" and "Night Walker" about the selection of Venice to participate, but unexpectedly learned that Sisyphus Pictures had submitted an application for registration and was preparing to arrange the two films to be launched at the Venice Film Festival for promotion.

So things suddenly became interesting.

Because Alberto never showed any signs during today's interview, it seemed that he didn't know that Sisyphus Pictures had completed its registration and was completely here to invite Renli, and Renli's posture fell into Alberto's eyes.

Then, how ridiculous it would be that Renly's "performance" fell into Alberto's eyes.

Lan Li hasn't been so embarrassed for a long time. He claims to be in control of the overall situation, but he did not expect that Alberto's scheming and plot are still far ahead of him.

Could it be that Alberto wasn't worried? Lanli had known that Sisyphus Films had submitted an application for the exhibition? Obviously, he was not worried at all. On the one hand, he was sure that Lanli would not care about the world; on the other hand, even if Lanli really knew, Alberto could still say that he didn't know much about the film selection process, or changed his tone: he specially invited Lanli to attend, and no matter what, he would not fall into a passive position.

Going further, Alberto knew that even though Renly was unclear, he could know the truth by communicating with the company, but he still lowered his attitude and expressed his sincerity. What is the reason?

First, I hope that Renli will go to Venice to promote it, otherwise the significance of "explosive drummer" being shortlisted for Venice will be directly reduced by half; second, I hope that I will cooperate with Renli for a long time to truly build a bridge of friendship; finally, and the most important point-

"I'm afraid the 'Explosive Drummer' will not enter the main competition this time." Lanli's intuition gave the answer. It can be seen from Alberto's attitude and behavior. He is afraid that he will still express his apology with sincerity, and further stated that even if the "Explosive Drummer" is not able to enter the main competition, Venice still has the sincerity of long-term cooperation.

Taking three steps, Alberto walked ahead of Renli early with his intentional calculations and no intentions, making arrangements for the future prospects of the Venice Film Festival.

Don't underestimate this old man. Alberto is definitely not a soft persimmon to be able to take over Mark Muller's hot potato. His ability is probably above everyone's imagination. Especially Alberto's image as a museum director who is full of bookish spirit is even more deceptive, just like Renly's image as a gentleman.

really!

A week later, the Venice Film Festival announced this year's film list, "Night Walker" entered the competition unit, while "Explosive Drummer" entered the horizon unit.

The so-called horizon unit is actually similar to a focus unit in Cannes, giving independent films and new directors a platform for self-display. These works are excellent enough, but they have not been able to enter the main competition for various reasons, so they were placed in the horizon unit for display.

For example, "Explosive Drummer", in the final analysis, the movie has already premiered in Sundance, and the seats in Venice's main competition unit are still limited, so they can only eliminate the "Explosive Drummer" and give the seats to other works that will be premiered in Venice - although Alberto secretly mocked Cannes, Venice is also half a dozen.

Of course, the list of works in Horizon Unit this year is also very good.

The niche director of the American independent film field, Safdie, came to Venice to participate in the exhibition with their new work "God Knows". The names of these two brothers are a bit uncommon to the general public, but they are important figures active in the New York independent film circle. They once worked with Ann Lee to "Making Woodstock Music Festival".

In addition, the famous Korean independent director Hong Shangxiu also appeared in the film list. The director who was shortlisted for the Cannes main competition three times and the Berlin main competition twice has a bit of the style of South Korea Woody Allen. This new work "The Hill of Freedom" is his first time to come to Venice to participate in the exhibition.

For Venice, which has repeatedly been ignored in the main competition unit list in recent years, the quality of the works of the Horizon Unit is enough to make people shine.

For "Explosion Drummer", this is just Damien Chazerre's debut, and he has entered the Venice Film Festival and is able to show himself on the world stage. Coupled with the fact that Sundance has premiered, the Horizon Unit can be said to be a reasonable result.

The problem is that if it is a horizon unit, then Renly would not have to attend at all.

Last year, "Georgetic" absent from the main competition because of Warner Bros., but as the opening work, Lanli and Rooney and other major members of the production team attended together; this year, "Explosion Drummer" was rejected by the main competition because of Venice, so Lanli had no need to attend.

From a strategic perspective, Renley can go directly to Toronto - "Explosive Drummer" and "Night Walker" have also been shortlisted for the Toronto Film Festival, the New York Film Festival, and the North American Awards Season promotional itinerary will start here. Compared to traveling to Venice, the convenience and return rate are more than a little better.

This is the real reason why Alberto travels to New Orleans: Even if you kicked you to the Horizon Unit, I hope you can come to Venice for the exhibition.

Alberto really planned Renley.

"Will you go to Venice?" Arthur was a little gloating. It was not easy to be able to make Renley lose his grief.

Lan Li didn't mind, "If you want to laugh, you will always hold it in, just like constipation can easily lead to hemorrhoids. Be careful that boils will also develop in your mouth."

Although he was criticized by Renli for a while, Arthur didn't mind at all. Instead, he laughed, "I really want to see Alberto again now. I just met one person last year and couldn't tell at all. He was such a hidden person."

"It'll be fine next month. I'll go to Venice." Renli said actively.

Arthur was slightly surprised, "Is it necessary to make a special trip?"

"No matter what, I should take the initiative to attack for the sake of Don Quixote Channel. Matthew told me that you must not be lazy in the early stage of starting a business." Lan Li also answered seriously.

Whether it is Berlin or Venice, these are not problems that will be overcome in a short time. Netflix in the previous life was rich and did not need to join forces at all. They developed and produced their own productions and created a huge library. The current Don Quixote channel, both in positioning and financial resources, is different from Netflix, which also destined them to take a different path.

Therefore, even in the Horizon Unit, Renli will attend - in February this year, Renli did not have any works in Berlin, and he also made a trip himself; what about it? What's more, he has been successfully shortlisted for Venice? Coupled with the global premiere of "Night Walker", Renli has no reason to miss it.

Arthur joked a few more times, full of expectations for meeting Alberto next time. Just before hanging up the phone, Arthur asked inexplicably, "Are they really going to attack Philip?"

Arthur was already in London at this time, and he knew that Lanley was about to fight back. He knew that it was related to Philip, but he didn't know the specific details. It was not until he noticed clues in recent days that he realized that the problem was even more serious than he thought. Although he knew that the day when Lanley and George and Elizabeth broke up would come sooner or later, when it really happened, and it broke out in such a way, he was still a little sad.

"I don't think I'm surprised, but the truth is, I'm still surprised." Lan Li said like a tongue twister.

Arthur got the answer he wanted, opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he could not say anything. Then he changed the subject, said a few polite words, and hung up the phone.

They all thought they were mentally prepared because in the Hall family, family affection never existed; but when it really happened, they realized that they were not numb and cold-blooded after all. Perhaps, this is the difference between the previous generation and this generation, or the concept of the family of the hereditary aristocrats is being changed by the times.

That afternoon, Arthur had no job, but went to the club he frequented and quietly drank whiskey. He thought he was not drunk, and he could stay awake no matter how he drank it. The process was indeed the case. The more he drank, the more he became, the more he seemed to be drunk, but at some moment he lost his memory, completely broken, and was drunk.

After waking up, Arthur couldn't remember what was going on, but he didn't mind at all. He just thought that if life could be like this, like a goldfish, and memorizing in seven seconds, wouldn't there be so many worries? Then would life become simpler?

Are those who are drunk, so they are deeply trapped in the numbness and chaos of alcohol step by step and unable to extricate themselves?

...

In any case, the matter of the Venice Film Festival was temporarily decided, while Renly devoted himself to the shooting of "Jurassic World".

The filming work still did not encounter many challenges, and it continued smoothly. Before the hot summer heat completely disappeared, the crew finished all the shooting work in the New Orleans part, and will set off to return to Los Angeles to complete the final stage of the final work in California.

However, the final stage of shooting is relatively easy and simple, and it is expected that the workload will be about one week to ten days, and it may not even take so long. This also means that there is not much time left to finish the filming. At this time, nearly three months have passed since the "Jurassic World" started.

If nothing unexpected happens, Renly will be able to catch up with the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival.
Chapter completed!
