Hollywood legendary director

May 18th marks the official opening of another Cannes Film Festival.

Speaking of, there are quite a few heavyweight works in this 59th session.

Among the 21 main competition films shortlisted, there are many international directors, such as "Iberian God" Pedro Almodovar, "British Intellectual Director" Ken Rocky and the like.

As for these big guides who are in support, it is actually quite difficult to choose.

According to the original method of the time and space jury, this year is completely dividing the cake, and even the fig leaf is not needed for balanced play.

I judged 5 movie kings and 6 movie queens at one time, the jury, the Palme d’Or and the screenplay awards one each, and none of them were re-elected. What’s more, those who won the Palme d’Or did not get the best director, which caused a lot of laughter. .

Oh, yes, the King of Sunglasses is one of the most skilled judges in this set. As long as he serves as an international film festival, the basic principle to follow is "you have a share".

Therefore, this is not his first "atmosphere", nor his last "atmosphere".

Of course, in fact, the organizing committee is also willing to do this, not to offend anyone, and secondly, it doesn't have to be a scapegoat. Anyway, the judges of the jury are used to show up.

As for the judges of the jury, they will definitely not be called for in the next one, but they don't want to cause trouble.

Therefore, the organizing committee wanted the jury to calm the scene, but in fact everyone was very smart.

Originally, this was a place to compete for fame and fortune, and all those who came were asking for something, which inevitably caused controversy.

It's a pity that I don't even need a fig leaf. It's still pretty ugly.

And this time with the participation of Lehman, the water was stirred even more muddy.

Although he had no thoughts about Palme d'Or, he always scored one out of compensation and compensation.

After all, this can be regarded as his home court, which is more or less valued.

——This kind of feeling is very good, quite a gesture of Harvey Weinstein's success in Oscars by virtue of his Jewish identity.

On this morning, Lehmann followed the shortlisted creators to take pictures and show under the arrangement of the organizer. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they started preparing for admission.

Everything was arranged clearly. By 5:30, it was the red carpet link.

In Cannes, the hierarchy is still very strict.

What kind of people do what they do, they are clearly distinguished.

For example, the most popular and popular "Sweet Press Cannes" carpet star drafts are actually in the form of "crushing"-basically before the big coffee enters the stage, they walk up to the photographer to take two photos. Going back is to flatter yourself.

You will find that such photos are basically sideways. If they are facing the camera, it will be very embarrassing-there is no organizer on both sides of the red carpet, and no one has officially entered the venue.

If you want to know if you are "crushing", just flip through the shortlist and the list of invited guests. This is the news that will be announced in advance in Cannes.Even more stringent is that even media reporters have press cards with different jurisdictions.

In other words, interviews with big coffees are not available for any small entertainment.

If a certain actress is really going to be able to "pop the Cannes red carpet", at least she must be a real guest group and be recognized by the official French newspaper with high sales.

Every year, Cannes reveals the red carpet look of invited actresses in the form of large photos, which is a form of comparison.Self-naming is obviously a cheating.

Therefore, the Cannes Film Festival is really not for everyone who is not in the class to participate. The exchanges here must pay attention to the circle, the qualifications, and the corresponding contacts.

If you don't enter this threshold, you want to pay Cannes a gold, but they don't want it.

......

In the waiting area.

Lyman suddenly felt very upset and sighed unconsciously.

——Waiting is an extremely uncomfortable thing, especially the arrangements of the organizing committee are too formal, which is a waste of time.

Even if everyone was on the red carpet, they were all kind and happy. In fact, the bottom of the table might be stiff.

From the morning to the afternoon, I took photos, group photos, individual photos, and then interviews. I didn’t dare to eat well when I was done. I was afraid that going to the bathroom would delay things when I received the award and affect my image.

In short, for such an appearance event, the guests are also uncomfortable.

Not to mention that in order to determine the screening time some time in advance, the discussion continued, listening to Lyman's brain hurt.

Think about it, I finally got to the point of liberation.

About another 10 minutes later, when the last crew finished the red carpet, Lehman also took the lead creator into the theater.

Signatures, flashes, and coordinated poses, and then enter the personal communication.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the red carpet ceremony, the venue was quite quiet.

Afterwards, a group of judges gave a serious opening speech, followed by a song and dance performance, followed by a grand introduction to the nominated film, and then returned to quiet.

Next to Lyman was Eva, who arrived in Cannes yesterday.

The two waited boringly for the process to end.

Then came the screening of the opening film.

The opening film of this year is "The Da Vinci Code" directed by Ron Howard, starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tarto.

Although "The Da Vinci Code" was not shortlisted in the main competition, Colombia spent a lot of money to build momentum in Cannes.

In addition to winning the opening ceremony, large posters can be seen everywhere on the street.

According to the report of "The Pioneer", the current film festival has a significant effect on the turnover of luxury hotels and hotels around Cannes, which is even higher than last year. It can account for more than 15% of the whole year in half a month. The total profit of the bar and film festival surrounding the profit will be doubled.

Newspapers predict that by the end of the film festival, at least more than 150 million euros in revenue can be brought to Cannes.

What is big business? This is not counting the handling fees and platform commissions incurred in movie sales. Trading movie rights in Cannes requires contract fees, and the bulk will be taken away by the government and the organizing committee. Enter the Supporting Film Foundation and give some funding to new film directors.

In other words, with such a half-month operation, the total profit of the surrounding supporting industries around the film festival can easily bring more than 200 million euros into the account.

This is also the reason why the Cannes Film Festival is getting more and more attention-it can promote a large number of tertiary industries such as tourism and service industries, and it can also get a good reputation. Who doesn't want to see Cannes flourish.

Even Hollywood blockbusters are paying more and more attention to the promotional role of this platform. As long as they have an idea to fight for a while in the summer, most of them come here in advance to advertise.

The "Da Vinci Code" is a similar product.

Because they will be screened in 21 regions on the 19th, France is one of the markets that it focuses on.

In the original time and space, this suspenseful masterpiece with a cost of 125 million, because of the interference of religious people, not only often gave in during the filming, but also was scolded so badly after the filming, that the producer of the work and the Colombian executives had to stand up. Publicly said that the original novel and film adaptation are "very far-fetched and full of heretics."

After all, who made this work itself expound anti-Catholic ideas to a considerable extent.

It can be said that the subject is controversial.

But Ron Howard deserves to be a big blockbuster who is accustomed to making blockbuster movies. He easily solved the problem of subject sensitivity, using a very suspenseful style and symbol decryption to weaken religious stance as much as possible.

In short, the reversal force is amazing, the plot direction will make the audience deeply attracted by the clues that appear constantly, and finally get the answer from Professor Langdon.

In this way, "The Da Vinci Code" can finally win as much as 750 million box office results worldwide, which is enough to prove how many audiences this film is sought after.

Lehman has also seen this movie in his previous life, and it is undoubtedly the one with better reputation as a suspense category.

It's a pity that the copyright was acquired by Colombia early, and Firefly couldn't get it either.

However, if you don't get it, you can't get it. There are so many good movies in this world, even if you kill the firefly, you can't eat it.

Other on-site guests including Eva watched this movie for the first time, and soon followed Professor Langdon into the field of symbolic clues.

Among them, the portrait of "Mona Lisa's Smile" is a very important direction leading to clues.

Of course, this pair is fake, and Ron Howard complained about it.

After the opening ceremony, it was naturally a dinner...
