The recent opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics was a global spectacle, captivating audiences worldwide. However, it has also drawn significant backlash for its depiction of Leonardo da Vinci's painting "The Last Supper" with a "drag queen" performance, which many view as disrespectful to religious beliefs. In response, Paris 2024 organisers apologised on Sunday to angry Catholics and other Christian groups. In addition, the accompanying commentary highlighted a critical issue: the vital role of professional interpreters. While the commentator's attempts were commendable, it became evident that real-time interpreting is a highly specialised skill, honed through years of rigorous training and experience. Witnessing our profession being sidelined on such a grand stage is a major oversight. Event managers, broadcasters, and organisers, please take note: it's time to acknowledge the critical importance of professional interpreters and invest in our expertise, especially for these high-stakes events.

As the Paris Olympics gets off to a roaring start, Hugo Soubrier, Associate Director, S&P Global Ratings, joined CNBC for their ‘How Paris Pulled off one of the Cheapest Olympics’ episode: https://okt.to/bXZoSm Based on our recent report “Paris Lean Olympics Are Unlikely To Blow Any Budgets,” Hugo's interview cites crucial data and provides an in-depth look at our findings. Key Highlights Include: - With Paris' limited investment needs, the Olympics should weigh less on the public purse than recent games. - Large private funding and state guarantees have cushioned public sector entities--including the City of Paris and the French government--well against costs. - Hosting the Olympics remains a logistical challenge for the city, however, notably for the transport network. Dive into our full report here https://okt.to/Fv3lgQ to see how Paris is setting a new standard for hosting the Olympics without breaking the bank. #Paris2024 #Olympics #SustainableGames #FiscalResponsibility #PublicFinance #Infrastructure #CNBCInterview #HugoSoubrier

I agree. One of the most illuminating (and enchanting) interviews with a #creativeproducer I've ever seen. I can't think of another producer who, on a public stage of this kind, is so up front about #financing, failure and production challenges and ultimately, of course, phenomenal success, but then there's only one Svana Gisla, only one #Abba and only one #AbbaVoyage (although others are trying to repeat the trick, which may be impossible. Discuss!). Beyond Conference #creativeindustries #artsandentertainment

Great insights. Thanks Gabor for sharing and Mr Cessario for saying. Assymetry in approach. Marketing’s challenge is super different company by company, product by product, region by region. You need to take a nuanced approach to what parts of tradition you inherit and apply and what parts of your plan you innovate based on your unique challenge today. You will need experienced human marketers to do this. AI can do a lot of the shit work to get there. New talent entering the industry can add insight and style. But there’s no way around the fact that you need at least one or two experienced disruptors like Mr Cessario or Gabor on the team. Go team #cannes2024 #liquiddeath #ABInbev

Exciting news! Our article - Swan Song Vs Swan Lake: Lessons from Prigozhin’s Short lived Mutiny - is now live on Transatlantic Perspectives at European Horizons. I want to express my gratitude to Irakli Bezhuashvili for his invaluable contributions and his creative and positive spirit throughout the process! "Yevgeny Prigozhin's grotesque attempt at mutiny looks like a missed opportunity to negotiate with a weakened enemy. His tragicomic, almost predictable, fate suggests that without a shared doctrine, all the Western powers can do to see the change the world needs is to wait for another Swan Lake, reacting to, rather than anticipating, momentous shifts."

It's #RichThinkingTuesday! In anticipation of #Paris2024 I'll share best investing advice from 5-time Olympic & World Champion Donovan Bailey O.C,O.Ont. Bailey will be on the broadcast team for #CBC in #Paris! "Live a balanced life and focus on four priorities: 1) Take care of your body and your mind. 2) Listen attentively to experts. Ask a lot of questions and spend more time listening than talking. 3) Surround yourself with like-minded motivated people. 4) Travel a lot! Travel is the greatest education that any human can get - I’ve visited 200 countries. See how other people live – dance to their music, drink their wine and look at their art."

Breaking Down #Beyonce: A Counterpoint on Her Festival Finances I will always defer to Dan Runcie when it comes to music. But he's doing double-time in the media lane, and he's missing some things in saying it's not in Beyonce's financial interest to perform at festivals. First, let's break down what he's saying about what she makes from the tour: - Beyonce grossed $579M on tour w/ a budget of $150 million, across 56 dates - Thus, she netted $7.6 million each performance from ticket sales  - Throw in that she monetized footage from the tour with a film that grossed $44M, and would have netted $19.4M after AMC takes 57% of U.S. and 30% of international box office If we deduct a conservative $1m in cost on that film, Beyonce netted $447.4M, or $8M per performance from her tour. Now, if we were to estimate what she could earn from performing at Coachella: - Bey made $8-12M last time around for 2 performances. It's safe to say she could get $14M from #Coachella based on inflation and the rise in their VIP prices over the years. That's $14M net, assuming Coachella pays for performance costs. - While Netflix is slashing costs, they paid $20M for Beyonce last time, and I think she could get $30M for a series documenting her two weekends. Takeaway $2M for production costs and that's $28M net. - Beyonce should also make one of her performances a "last minute" PPV (after tickets sell out, of course). If just 10% of the 2.7M that attended her tour globally buy that, that's 270k purchases at $100, for $27M, of which Bey could net $21M. Those main sources of revenue alone would gross $71M and net her $63M. For just two performances, that would net Beyonce $31.5M per performance. In terms of gross, that's more than Dan's 3-night calculation of $45M that includes the film, which needed footage from nearly all 56 dates to really work. On a per-performance basis, her $31.5M per date is 4X what she made on tour. And if we get creative, some reports have Coachella at 500k attendees in 2023. If that's the case, I believe Beyonce has 3 things she could sell at a festival that can't be duplicated on tour. #1. She can install a limited experience replete with fashion, paintings, listening rooms, old footage, AR/VR, etc. that could be an upsell on 20% of tickets @ $75. That would gross $7.5M. #2. Bey could offer "creative" and "business" workshops, where people can train and get guidance from her "people", as well as meet Bey. This is more of a B2B thing; thus, she could sell this for $10k to just 1,000 (250 people per day). That would gross $10M. #3. Imagine an outdoor Beyonce lounge, that can't be replicated in a stadium, for approximately 1k VIPs paying $500, for a gross of $500k. I'd estimate those 3 things to cost no more than $3m, which gives her an upside of $15M net. Altogether, Bey could gross $89M, while netting $78M, or $39M per night. I'd say that's plenty of reason to explore giving a festival one more chance.
