Hollywood legendary director

Of course, movies are not absolutely convincing. Lehman knew about this 800 years ago.

Otherwise, the film market does not need to be divided into literary and commercial, and the film type does not need to be divided into categories such as action, fantasy, horror, suspense, etc.

But what is the selection that Lehman is bothering now? There should always be a set of criteria, and it can't be decided by drawing lots.

Lehman said his doubts and many people have begun to find him to inquire about it, and they don't know how to refuse.

——Fools are willing to do things that offend people for no reason.

Edmund exclaimed: "It's the same every year, just get used to it."

"Even the old man doesn't know what to do?" Lehman didn't believe it.

Edmund heard the meaning in Lehman’s words and said sincerely: "This is really difficult to handle. Actually, every year of selection will encounter various contradictions. For example, like you If you have already scored, give it or not? If you give it, there will be nothing for the newcomers. If you don’t give it, do you feel comfortable in your heart? Also, for the number of tourists and so many filmmakers who come all the way to participate, give Still not giving, this is also a consideration. So I can only say a trade-off."

"So there is no hidden threshold?"

Edmund thought: "This is still there. For example, politically correct works such as anti-war, ideological equality, and undesirable racism have a higher chance of winning, because awarding these works is the most difficult to cause controversy. You You can't criticize those works for their wrong intentions. Since you can't criticize, it will naturally stop the mouths of many people."

Damn, torn around, and then to the banner of political correctness.

But I have to say that if a movie has the least controversy, it is indeed the most politically correct movie.

——Even if the filming is not very good, you dare to scold others for choosing the wrong material?

This is a tricky direction.

Edmund said: "Your "Old Nowhere", we also organized an internal filming yesterday. The filming was very good. This is what I thought after watching it, but the social atmosphere and roles proposed in it Setting to highlight one extreme is still very worrying. Moreover, it is not good for you to get another Palme d’Or after only one year. I think they mean that they will not award it, but there should be compensation. Do you know why I told you this?" Edmund Su asked.

Lyman shook his head.

He replied self-consciously: "The future of French cinema depends on you people, and your film makes me the most happy. This is the evaluation of many people. The last organizing committee I will be able to give you the prize because of similar appreciation and recognition and recognition of your identity. No matter what, you will always go out from Cannes."

Lyman was ashamed.

He is at best a filmmaker who likes a good reputation.

Edmund's enthusiasm overwhelmed Lyman, and he couldn't get the most comprehensive method from him, because it seemed that the main competition side had more concerns, and it even involved the number of tourists and the recognition of regional filmmakers.

Ever since, after talking for a while, Lehman went back to his job.

When it was about to get off work, the person who came to invite in the morning hurriedly came over and said, "It's really hard to escape, sir, please show your face."

Lehman saw him sincerely and agreed verbally, so he did not refuse.

Anyway, nothing happened at night.

Following this person out of the movie palace, he walked all the way to the right and he reached the high-end hotel next to him.

——The reason why the Cannes Film Festival was first established was to solve the problem of summer tourists. These hotels funded the festival every year, which is a disguised publicity.

Of course, this kind of mutual benefit has become a grand event until now, which everyone did not expect.

The exquisitely decorated clubhouse between the hotels was their destination.

The man introduced: "The chefs here are very good at craftsmanship, and the drinks are customized directly from the winery. Those few specially wanted to invite your husband to taste it." Then he explained in a low voice, "Confidentiality here. Very good, I am not afraid of being known by outsiders, it will be detrimental to this matter."

Under the leadership of the foreman, the two entered the private room.

The few people sitting inside immediately got up and greeted the hospitality.

Needless to say, the identities of these people are related stakeholders in the shortlist.

In fact, the non-main competition unit is not as without status as Lehman thought.

For his fame, this fringe award is of course useless, but for those who have just reached the threshold of directors, it is very helpful.

In addition to the funding bonus, more importantly, if you can win the "a kind of attention" award, that is, the film newcomer award, the next work has a high chance of entering the main competition unit to compete for Palme d'Or.

It is the direct line of Cannes that everyone often says.

This can be regarded as a similar way of selecting rookies for every film festival.

After delicious and delicious, I naturally talked about awards.

This is something Lehman had already guessed.

And these are all French filmmakers, everyone is in the same circle, and they are definitely closer than outsiders.

One of them said: "It's really hard to tell if you ask for this. But we will definitely not let you down."

Is there any benefit...

Facing the request, Lehman murmured: "It is very difficult for me to make a decision in this regard, so I intend to refer to the opinions of other parties. I have to convince the crowd."

Lehman specifically pointed out the word "Fuzhong".

Isn't he very repulsive to find a relationship to take the road? This is the case in society. After all, there are few people who help or not help. You can't ask everyone to do this with an unselfish character.

At least, Lehman is a selfish person.

However, to convince the public, he did not want to ruin the reputation in the circle.

And cheating for a newcomer award is not worth it to Lehman-can we only match a newcomer award with the reputation and character we have worked so hard to achieve?Don't change for Oscars.

Of course, he is not an unkind person. People are so sincere and sincere. Lehman went on to say: "So, I plan to arrange a few screenings, comprehensive film reviews and audience evaluations and internal opinions, and give appropriate answers in three aspects. . Your work, I will give priority to extra screening."

——If you can't beat Gaying, you can't blame me.Lehman thought.

The only thing he can open the door and give an explanation to the French film circle without damaging his reputation is that all the shortlisted French films are added to the screenings, which is already very affordable.

When several people heard it, they were all happy.

The so-called extra screening basically represents the type of film that is on the rise, even on the main competition side.

Therefore, Lehman still saves face.

And these people go back to talk, it is also good for the reputation in the Lehman circle.

——Inhumanity Although the character is good, but the communication is not good, and it is not easy to get along with the evaluation.

After bidding farewell to each other and leaving, on the next day, Lyman immediately set about arranging screenings.

The organizing committee allocated several screening halls here, mainly to keep the audience and tourists in Cannes after the opening ceremony and give them a chance to watch the film and participate.

Moreover, even the film cannot enter the main competition, nor can it enter the non-main competition, but the official screening session is still organized, and you can also find an open space to exchange movies.

Every year, the number of films exhibited in Cannes is extremely large, which is the direction in which Liam and others choose their sources.

Anyway, with so many filmmakers gathered in one place, there are always some valuable films that have not been discovered.

For a time, the debate over the exhibition hall and the screening time became the daily routine of this small group, and possibly the daily routine of the main competition jury.

In other words, this year's jury members are still quite strong and attractive.

After Lehman said he would not participate, the organizing committee found the Sunglasses King as the main judge, and then invited the Chinese actress international chapter, the well-known British actress, Tim Burton's wife, and the red queen Helena Bonham Carter , As well as the Italian pearl Monica Bellucci, Israeli director Ilya Suleiman, British actor Tim Rose (the protagonist in "The Pianist at Sea" 1900), plus Samuel Jackson and others.

Each jury in Cannes is roughly distributed like this.

One is famous and adds stars; second, there is an achievement and an international director; third, there must be at least one local French filmmaker; fourth, it is best to select members with different backgrounds.

In short, we are well versed in the word balance and take into account all aspects-in order to attract tourists and increase diversity, the organizing committee is also well-intentioned.
