Hollywood legendary director

Although this venue is not as spacious as the main competition side, it is also a five-bay hall. There are several compartments beside the hall, which are usually piled up with debris. At the beginning of the film festival, it becomes a place to show movies.

After the simple layout, the 12 judges can each watch the film.

In addition, the organizing committee called in several assistants to help organize and archive the selected films.

In fact, apart from consuming time and energy, selection is a simple matter.

What's more, the organizing committee hasn't even mentioned a salary. Everyone works for free, so it's even more arbitrary-as the judges come to their minds, just don't mess around.

Therefore, it is quite free.

For example, a lot of materials are still lined up, just pick one and just look at the first ten minutes to decide whether you can enter the next link, which is the award selection after the shortlist-first sign up, and then select the movies worthy of selection Come out, and finally distribute the awards.

The general process is just such a process. Some people pay attention to the newcomer award, and think it is a kind of recognition that can encourage themselves to continue walking in this process.

Moreover, after winning the award, the organizing committee can provide a portion of funds to support the shooting of the next work.

Of course, the money is not much, only 10,000 or 20,000 Euros, but this money saves a little money, and it is still possible to shoot a small cost theme. It is also a more conscientious place in Cannes. Although they also play shady scenes, they are sure about the movie. Can help.

Sometimes, being famous is the biggest funding, isn't it?

Is there still a shortage of investors?

Filmmakers in many regions have benefited from Cannes, and this includes Lehman of course.

Therefore, he is more attentive to this matter.

In other words, they are a group of casual role-playing players who are willing to spend time enjoying this process and focus on participating in fun...

Thinking this way is more appropriate.

When it gets dark, everyone discusses a few interesting things about watching the movie. For example, a certain director has made a super long movie, which lasts more than 4 hours, and it is about the story of a person from childhood to middle age. The time span is very large, and I have a lot of ideas; there are also the joys and sorrows of shooting the porn industry, the atmosphere is more peachy; of course, there is no shortage of short films, and there are many new ideas.

In short, with so many films, there are always more thoughtful films, and then they go home.

After a few days, according to everyone's selection, Lehman drew up a preliminary list, and then sent it to the organizing committee for a notification.

Afterwards, the organizing committee posted a single set of the films and this one, and publicized them in the official media. Even if the second stage was almost completed, the awards were only issued in the last step.

I have to say that the presence of the Lyman platform does make some people pay attention to the non-competitive units.

After all, most of the French local media are very friendly to him and willing to report.

Therefore, the non-competitive film list went viral within a few days.

The credibility is higher than that of previous non-competitive units.

This makes the shortlisted filmmakers suddenly pay attention to this selection.

After all, once the degree of attention is high, the award set is likely to be related to future fame and qualifications. It is also worthwhile to show off.

Those engaged in literary and artistic work may not love money, but there is no one who does not love reputation.

That is their vital interest.

For a while, the organizing committee did not expect that the non-competition unit was so popular, and they were all pleased that Lehmann was right.

After all, the film festival is not afraid of controversy, just because there is no heat, no one takes it seriously.

And at this point, it is possible to win a prize after a little fight. The shortlisted films have to think of a way to go. If everyone else has gone, wouldn't it be a panic.

In addition, people can always get into the judges.It is impossible that none of the jury will come out to socialize?

For them, there is a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves. When they are not sure at this time, when?

For a while, the non-competitive unit judges and the main competition unit judges were happy and depressed.

What is happy is that I am sought after, and I am always in a good mood. What is depressed is that I have too many relationships, and I don't want to offend any one.

But there are only so many awards, and there will be people who fall evenly. How should this be done?

This shows that the judges are really not good.

Once the attention is high, things get hotter, and even Lehman can't be peaceful.

Moreover, it is more than just selection.

In other words, Edmund, who had just arrived in Paris some time ago and met at the manor banquet, was originally a member of the Cannes Organizing Committee.

Lyman got up early this morning and went to the movie palace venue, and saw Edmund waiting for him specially.

Why is it special? Because as soon as Lyman appeared, Edmund greeted him enthusiastically.

Lehman asked in surprise: "Are you all right over there? Why do you have time to come and find me?"

Edmund shook his head, "The 21 shortlisted films will definitely need to be debated for a long time, and you have to refer to the opinions of the audience. It is useless to be anxious. By the way, there are specific plans for the long-prepared films you said that day. Yet?"

Okay, for this.

In fact, the old man is bored, catching Lehman, an interested junior, to pass the time and satisfy his curiosity.

——I'm only 30 years old, I just made such a result, I'm not curious that it is fake.

Seeing the old man's gaze, Lehman said, "What should I do here? I still have a task."

Edmund smiled and said: "It's okay, what's important to delay the day, let's go and see your new movie first. To be honest, I still look forward to it in my heart."

The members of the Cannes Organizing Committee took the lead in the selection, what else does Lehman say.

Anyway, he is also very annoying sociable these few days.

Originally, it took a lot of time to review the film, and it was really boring to have to deal with all kinds of people.

——It’s normal to watch too many bad movies and feel bad.

According to Lehman, most of the works in it can't make it to the theater.waste.

And he doesn't need to use non-competitive units to become famous, and he is not a newcomer or an older generation of filmmakers using this channel to push works.Wouldn't it be better for him to go directly to the main competition to earn prestige with his movie reputation?

The two stopped by and went back again, just over ten minutes away.

Entering the study, Edmund looked around with a qualitative nature.

——The area is not large, but the layout is very organized, and there is a large writing board near the wall.

Stepping in again, there are several film concept pictures drawn on the writing board, with the character setting and branch design next to it, plus a stack of draft scripts, and this new work will gradually become clear in my mind.

This is a story about two men.

A wealthy, highly educated, and aristocratic life, but accidentally caused high paraplegia due to a parachuting accident;

A rude and idle poor man who can only live on a bailout.

Very clever class setting.

Two people represent two circles, two lives.

After reading the script, Edmund also had a deeper understanding of the title "Untouchable".

——There is really no so-called empathy in this world.

Can a healthy person experience the pain of being paralyzed in bed?

Can rich people appreciate the difficulty of making a living everywhere?

Can a carefree person understand how much a person with delicate emotions think?

This film only tells the stubbornness of a high-level paraplegic who doesn't like others' pity and doesn't want to be sympathized, and the running-in of two people with huge differences who lead different lives.

A work with many ideas in laughter.

Very terrifying French local bridge, light comedy movies full of French jokes.

Edmund praised: "Lyman, how did you come up with this setting."

While asking, continue to focus on the scene on the tablet.

"This is actually an adaptation of an autobiography." Lehman said: "Adapted from "The Second Breath" by Philip Pozzo di Borgo. This true story was made into a documentary the year before, I Only after seeing this documentary did I have the idea of ​​adapting it into a feature film..."

This statement is half true.

The story is indeed an autobiographical adaptation, but when Lehmann first arrived in Cannes a few days ago, he took the initiative to call Philip, who was in Essaouira, Morocco, to obtain the filming rights.

As for the documentary, it was actually not well shot, it was too trivial and had no context.

Moreover, the original film was adapted by the two directors in 2008. After raising funds, it was released in 11 years. There was no copyright dispute.
