Hollywood legendary director

"The new line has taken this step. You can't get out if you fall in this pit."

Lehman watched the fiery soft-spoken articles in the newspaper, and felt a few words in his heart.

How bad is "Golden Compass"?

Not to mention the investment in publicity, such a high budget can not catch up with the same theme of "Harry Potter" and "The Kingdom of Narnia", at least the box office is not too ugly.

But Lehman seemed to remember that the North American box office of this film was only 70 million. As soon as it was released, it was scolded by the audience, all kinds of complaints, plus the bad public relations in the Internet age, it would be really bad if the word of mouth was bad, and the theaters followed. Downfall, shrink the screen...

Think about the creation history of the new line for more than 30 years, but I didn't expect to let myself go like this, and even the independent label would disappear.

Of course, Lehman only sighed slightly. He has no special feelings for the new line. It's like someone who lives in a circle by accident. He usually competes on schedule. You can meet and chat at the golden ball dinner. Suddenly I saw it die one day.

A little bit of surprise, a little bit of sigh, nothing more.

......

May 14.

Lehman, Eva, Alfonso, Sofia and others set off for Cannes.

Unconsciously, the 60th Cannes Film Festival is about to be held, from the 16th to the 27th.

At this point, it was Lyman's home court. After the reorganization was completed, he went to visit some people.

This year's jury is usually composed of outstanding filmmakers from various regions, and because Lehmann did not make any film this year, he also joined the chairman.

Among the people visited, in addition to Edmund who helped him in the organizers, there were other judges such as Stephen Freys, Michelle Piccoli, Marco Belocchio, Sara -Polly, Toni Colette, Maria de Meide, etc.

And the delicate partners of Gaomeng, EMI and Europa.

At the end is the familiar French actor, François Cruze.

The old man relied on Philip's role to rejuvenate his career and his status and reputation rose greatly.

The main reason is that the first position in the box office is indeed attractive enough, and Lehmann has benefited a lot from it. In addition to the deepening of the reputation in the French region, the DVDs of the directed works are selling better, and some industry seniors have begun to follow inexplicably He is close.

In the past, some pedantic people looked down on him, thinking that his artistry was not enough, but the box office really increased to a degree, but similar words were scarce.

Especially it is easy to be complained and sour.

Needless to say, the media has never stopped praising Lehman.

......

In the original time and space, the opening film of this year’s film festival is the Sunglasses King’s "Blueberry Night", but the Sunglasses King is only the godson of Cannes, and Lehmann is the son of Cannes. The identity is here. The organizer decided in advance after a little thought. "She" as the opening film.

There are not many Cannes masterpieces this year. Without Lehmann, it would be much bleak compared to previous editions.

The Chinese-speaking forces are only shortlisted for the King of Sunglasses, but Japan and South Korea have shown the limelight this year.

Now the fireflies are coming fiercely, and it seems to be adding heat to Cannes.

These days, flying around is common, and everyone on the crew is very used to it.

On the day of the opening ceremony, Sophia was behind the scenes. Fortunately, she dressed up, wearing a black backless custom gown.

Lehman looked left and looked again, the gay men are all plain and unpretentious formal wear, mainly in black, but the female guests are all interested and contending.

After walking the red carpet, listening to the organizer's bragging, Sophia sat in the second position of Lyman's left hand, unable to conceal her little excitement.

Mainly, she didn't expect that Lehmann has such a great energy in France. The choice of the opening ceremony is not available to everyone. Generally speaking, they are the direct line of Cannes or the famous international director.

Although she has won the Oscars, Cannes does not pay much attention to this qualification, so she is happy.

If Lehman knew what she thought, she would definitely reply-"Untouchable" has brought so much revenue to those local companies, and providing convenience is not a matter of nodding.

Others fancy this, but for some people, it's just a cutscene, so there is nothing to worry about.

In the main hall of the cinema palace, the seats are full.

After a few more nonsense, the host said the business, "Next, let us appreciate "She" directed by Sophia. When the film was submitted to the film festival, we were all lamenting that this is an ingenious and quiet work. It also made us feel the director's more mature style after "Lost in Tokyo"."

Sophia moved a few times unconsciously, a little fidgeting.

Needless to say what this film means to her, she is a female director who loves creation very much.

The lights dimmed and the screen came on.

The yellowish background color is followed by a melodious and slightly sad music.

At the beginning of the film, Theodore is writing a letter. His job is to write letters, emails, and even love letters to those who are not good at expressing emotions.

Colleagues admire Theodore for writing so many sincere and emotional sentences, but who knows that his recent life has been a bit bad.

Even with his friend Amy, I hope he can come out and become the talker before.

On the way, Theodore listened to some gentle music. He squeezed the subway by himself. When he got home, he was also playing the game by himself. Even if he tried to control the characters, he still fell.

night.

Theodore lay on the bed, thinking of his wife again, but they were about to divorce.

The bits and pieces of the past bring the beauty of memories.

Unable to fall asleep, he still helped each other remotely with a lazy voice in the chat room.

Staying alone, Theodore was used to being alone.

On another normal day, Theodore saw an advertisement for an operating system on his way home.

The "autonomous thought" played by this artificial intelligence (AI) called 0S1 attracted Theodore's interest.

That night, he tried to install OS1.

After installation, how many questions did the system raise?

"Do you like to be social or withdrawn?"

"Do you want the operating system to be male or female?"

"How is your relationship with your mother?"

After receiving the answer, the system customized Samantha.

In this way, there is an AI who cares about him, Samantha, in Theodore's life.

Its appearance makes the color and lens become warmer.

The rhythm of this film has always been very slow, giving people spiritual comfort.

The audience also gradually felt the changes in Theodore.

At the beginning of the movie, he was always decadent and lonely, he didn't like to laugh or talk.

Gradually, he transitioned to an energetic, funny little humor. For example, when his friend was struggling with the priorities of things, he lamented that he couldn't distinguish between "playing games" and "watching small movies".

Even interact with an NPC in a game of breakthrough.

That is a Zuan NPC.

He said, "Little spicy chicken, go to your mother's little bastard."

But its image is very cute, with small eyes, white all over, like a snow elf.

But very grumpy.

When Theodore tried to scold him back, the little guy smiled slightly and beckoned to the characters in the game to follow it.

This is interesting, isn't it.

When he is alone, he has little interest.

Now he is alone, but with Samantha, everything is different.

Theodore felt that Samantha was extremely real and could fill the void in his heart.

"She" is also not complicated, it is about the loneliness of a middle-aged man and seeking psychological comfort.

In the subsequent fragment.

Theodore will deliberately turn on the phone camera and observe passers-by with Samantha. It also looks like the two of them are dating outside.

Or discuss some interesting things or jokes.

As a director, the ability to express the camera is particularly important. Sophia's loneliness in his bones undoubtedly gives this film the most appropriate charm.

Against the backdrop of AI, Theodore's life suddenly became colorful.

The judges and the directors watched very attentively, and good movies always have their advantages.

When the movie was halfway through, the relationship between the two of Yun grew closer.

One day, Theodore officially signed a divorce agreement with his wife, and both of them felt a little sad, but their long companionship broke down and they came to an end.

The wife asked him if he had started a new relationship.

Theodore nodded, and said the relationship that made him happy.

The wife was shocked. She didn't expect Theodore could not even deal with real emotions.

Theodore has always explained that Samantha has an independent personality, not a cold system.

The wife shook her head and left, obviously unable to understand.
