Hollywood legendary director

On topics like discussing cultural ideology, it is really not Lehman's strong point.

With some guilty conscience, he held his glass and thought, if it is about film and television creation, shooting techniques, or even French New Wave works, he can take the conversation, but I really don't know how to say this.

Looking around, everyone was in a tacit understanding and did not interrupt the discussion between the two, even Ryan ran aside.

Alas, at this time, why didn’t a kind person come out to make a round, so that I could put aside this topic, but this banquet was not formal. Everyone present was holding a game and social mentality, holding wine glasses everywhere to make friends, even though Someone who wants to know Lyman will not be stupid enough to run over at this time.

However, the fact that a French director who has made a name for himself does not have a good French film that is really interesting.

Perhaps it’s because Lehmann entered the Europa Films system from the very beginning. It just so happens that Luc Besson is not a filmmaker who fully respects French culture. If you change to a more traditional film company, maybe his script project will be submitted and even reviewed. The threshold for establishing the project is too high.He would think of making more French works.

Of course, all this is just speculation.

Lehman has passed the initial accumulation stage, and his reputation can hardly fall easily with a film.

However, it is certainly not wrong for a French film senior like Edmund to persuade younger generations to promote French culture.

He has served French films for so many years and he is also a respectable person.

Lehman thought, since there is such a view, I should make a French film to dispel this view.

He vaguely remembered several classic French films in his mind, and he thought about it when he pulled the film...

Thinking of this, Lehman said with a smile: "Actually, I had a similar shooting idea a long time ago, but I have always wanted to polish the plot more comprehensively for so many years. Only recently did I have a general idea."

Edmund sighed: "Oh? That said, I really look forward to your work."

Okay, finally this stubbornness is over.

After Edmund, two or three people came to get acquainted with each other, and Lehman politely socialized one by one.

The banquet lasted until midnight before they dispersed.

Lyman was slightly drunk, and under the arrangement of the host, he rested in this manor.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was shining, obviously it was almost noon.

There was neither a beautiful lady who warmed the bed nor anyone came in to bother him. As soon as he opened the door, a servant ran down to report.

Subsequently, three people came over.

Walking in the forefront is a man and woman. The man is the big boss of EMI Films. He is about 50 years old and looks ordinary. The woman was not seen at the banquet last night. He was a very beautiful person with eyebrows. Graceful, about the most touching time in his 20s, a servant was followed by holding toiletries.

"How was the rest last night? Lyman." The EMI boss greeted with a smile.

At any rate, they are also one of the most powerful people in the local film industry. They are polite. Lehman couldn't carry it, but he also smiled and replied: "The spirit is just right. Thank you for the hospitality."

"Haha." The EMI boss then introduced Lyman to his wife, who was the very young and beautiful girl next to her.

Regarding this, Lehman had already guessed and shook her politely, even if he had said hello.

And this kindness to him, Lehman is not surprised.

EMI has always been in the business of the international film market. It relies on the Cannes Film Festival as a platform and has a good relationship with many film producers. However, EMI is like most French studios and has insufficient influence on Hollywood. The huge market is In the eyes, it is hard to eat.

Thinking about it this way, courtesy Lehman is just a recognition of the strength of Firefly and the cooperative investment of "The Walking Dead" is in great condition.It is natural to be polite to make money.

After chatting for a while, Lyman took the toiletries from the servant.

After washing up, I had another lunch.

Lehman hurriedly bid farewell to the EMI boss, and went straight back to the hotel set by the crew after some politeness.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, apart from Eva, they had to stay at home for a while. The crew set off again to the seaside town of Cannes.

The advent of this grand event now attracts countless tourists from all over the world and fellow members who are interested in film exchanges.

Thousands of people coming from all sides quickly made Cannes lively.

Everyone stayed at the booked hotel again, of course Lehman and Ryan didn't need it, and went home separately.

There are still nearly ten days before the opening ceremony in Cannes, but the hotels and hostels near the Palais des Cinemas are already full of people.

And most of these people are actor stars or behind-the-scenes workers in various regions.

Ever since, people who make friends, engage in relationships, public relations, and those who take the opportunity to do business and sell all kinds of souvenirs also gather here. It is really lively.

There are a few small venues separated by a distance from the several theaters competing with the movie palace owner, and there are long lines in front of the windowsill at the door, which is also extremely popular.

This is the registration office of the non-main competition unit. As long as you pay a certain fee and apply for the information, you can participate in the competition.

Although many people participated in the past years, they were not so much talked about this year.

The reason? Naturally, the organizing committee has released the news that Lehmann will serve as the jury, which provokes many new directors in France to be willing to participate, hoping to be recognized and become famous.

This is a wonderful thing, and there are really big directors who have a real background, and naturally there is an endless stream of responders.

The news has been fermented for several weeks, and everyone who knows it knows that those who are willing to participate will come with their proud works.

Of course, Lehman didn't know all this.

He thought that the jury list was kept secret, but he didn't know that the organizing committee took the initiative to build momentum to increase its influence this year.

It wasn't until he went to the jury meeting and got to know the judges one by one that he learned from everyone's mouth.

Lehman felt that he had been pitted by the organizing committee for the first time. The selection itself was a thankless link.

Commenting on who does not comment on who will lead to controversy.

And now it’s no longer possible to pick up a man, Lehman is a little depressed.

He worried: "The so-called non-competitive units are originally encouraging awards. Most of the participants are newcomers who are new to this industry. There may be a lot of rough shots, but there are really few people who are from a class and are skilled in shooting. There are very few that can produce good works. Therefore, there should not be many works that can meet these conditions. The shortlisted films are too rare, so it should be easy to choose?"

One of the judges laughed and said, “It’s not what you think it is. If it’s really that way, of course it’s easy, but it’s actually very difficult.”

The man didn't hide it and explained it well.

In other words, although the non-competitive unit has a low gold content, the regulations on the works are very small, on the contrary, there are many campaign films.

why?

Because even works with a duration of less than 60 minutes are subject to review, and most of them are movies of this type of long or short duration. One of them jokingly suggested that he had watched a movie that lasted more than 6 hours. The film, that is really boring, there is not even a main line, the whole story is everyday, the person seems to be carrying a camera and walking around in the street.

But this is also to be selected.And some masterpieces sometimes have scruples, and they are also shown in non-competitive exhibitions. Of course, this one does not need to be reviewed by them, and it has been decided by default.

Therefore, the threshold is so low, but the workload is huge.

Of course, except for Lehman, everyone here is not a celebrity. Some of them are screenwriters. They still come here to comment on movies. So in the past, everyone would look and choose. When you do something interesting, you are less utilitarian.

After all, the non-competitive units are not so much valued.

When it officially started, everyone drank coffee and talked about the division of labor, and they proposed to let Lehman serve as the lead judge.

Lehman was about to say a few words of humility, but he saw that everyone was surprisingly unanimous, and they nodded their heads. No one disapproved. In a few words, Lehman pushed Lehman to the position that could truly determine who won the prize, and the right to speak was the most important.

In fact, it is true that Lehman is a filmmaker who is truly noticed and recognized by the public. The other few are less than Lehman's fractions of both seniority and performance. The only thing that can be compared is age.

However, there are still younger than Lehman.

Everyone did not object, and Lehman was a little happy in his heart to thank everyone for their praise.

It seems that we are also the number one person with a good face, so that the name Yuanbroad can be convincing, and Lehman is a little complacent.

Didn’t he earn this face for making movies?
