Hollywood legendary director

The hotel’s backyard was originally a bit cold, because Lehman’s arrival was a bit more lively than usual.

From the airport all the way to this point, only one night off, the French film circle representatives represented by Gao Meng again politely visited, it was inevitable to socialize.

Of course, the main thing is the conversation with Luc Besson.

In the corner of the banquet, the two people who haven't seen each other in some days are extremely harmonious.

"Have you seen the script." Lyman smiled, "It's actually a very simple story."

"Yeah." Luc Besson nodded. "Just in terms of the plot, there is nothing complicated. However, I think this is going to be shot on Hong Kong Island?"

"Is it wrong?"

"I want to hear about your plan for this arrangement."

"Our company has a cooperation with China Film, and I also want to enter the mainland market."

"Really." Luc Besson was a little surprised, but not really surprised.

French filmmakers know that local protectionism is still very strong, at least neither Europa Pictures nor Gao Meng, who is now the number one in performance and strength, can't easily get the introduction index.

I don't think Mann Media still has such a relationship.

And until the end of the banquet, Luc Besson did not talk to Lehman about treatment.

The two of them were very tacitly handed over to the people around them to do it, maintaining their former affection.

...

"Lyman Rust is back."

"I heard that the organizing committee wants him to be the main judge of the 64th Cannes Film Festival to boost the momentum."

"No wonder it has been so lively these days."

Now the summer season of film markets all over the world is coming to an end, so even with the cinemas, they are a little deserted. The cinema managements do not have so many arrangements for the time being, but they are fully concerned about the news of the Cannes film circle.

You know, Lehmann's reputation in France is really not low, and in Cannes, his hometown is even more famous, here, as long as his movies, his deeds are frequently reported, and even said that he has established France in Hollywood. The biggest banner of filmmakers is fascinating.

Furthermore, audiences are satisfied with exclusive movies.

On this basis, when Lehmann returned from Paris to Cannes, and greeted him, it was really lively, and there were banquet invitations almost every moment.

Of course, Lehman himself made friends everywhere, and he was equally polite when he met senior filmmakers who were older than him.

"Lyman, over there agreed. Gao Meng and Europa jointly hold the local distribution rights of "Super Body", and the other is that Luc Besson personally took away 5 million basic salary and 10% of the box office in North America. Share, and spread the publicity expenses equally." Ryan came over and said.

"Has the estimated boot time been told? No problem with the schedule?"

"They don't have any plans to produce films in the next few months, so it doesn't matter."

There is one more word, Ryan didn't say.Compared to Mann Media’s hard power and capital reserves in the circle, Europa is simply incomparable, and Luc Besson can’t play games in the same position as Lehman. When you meet Europa director Pierre-Angie Now, their attitude is very enthusiastic.

"The conditions are nothing to say, it's okay, just do it." Lyman watched as someone came over with champagne, turned around and said something politely, clinking glasses and drinking.

When this person left, Lehman was not doing anything, Ryan couldn't help but said: "There is no need to be too polite to these people, we didn't have much contact with them."

"Drink some wine, I won't promise anything lightly."

Where there are people, there are circles.

Cannes and even the entire French film circle have always had a somewhat different attitude towards Mann Media. Part of it is a network of vested interests. They all directly or indirectly rely on Lehmann to make money, so they are friendly; and how many people can a film company attract? Well, among the local filmmakers who didn't catch the ride of Mann Media, there might be some verbal dissatisfaction and jealousy.

Of course Lehmann can be regarded as ignorant, but in fact he does not want to deepen this division, so he tries his best to be full.

However, when the banquet is about to end, there is a trouble that cannot be avoided.

...

When Lehmann came here this time, he knew more or less what the Cannes Organizing Committee and Cannes City Hall had made.

Again, the film festival can gild the entertainers, but someone also has to gild it.

In fact, it's normal. You are an international film window platform, and you can't even invite a few big names. Isn't the price of the jury too low?

And the jury has dropped prices, and the qualifications are not enough, how can they attract popular actors or good works to participate in the selection?

In this May edition of this year, it was obvious that some of the stars were dim, and even the related drafts could not be irritated, and the attention was low.

No, it must be corrected if something goes wrong.

As for film energy conservation, what else can be used to attract the attention of filmmakers and tourists from all over the world, in addition to what the jury members have drawn up?

This is almost the only way to go.

Two questions arise from this: Why does Cannes have a direct line of directors?Why is Cannes close to Chinese movies?

In fact, the essence of the answer is very similar, because the Cannes Organizing Committee also needs to use the director's own personal connections to fill their guest lineup and even the movie list.

You can find that after the establishment of each jury, basically the people inside will help to maintain the opening exhibition of the current session. The potential of the Chinese-speaking region is unquestionable. In such a large area, the production volume is not an ordinary area. Comparable.

So, it is not surprising that the Cannes Organizing Committee will find Lehmann.

For one thing, he is a direct line of the direct line, once elected, he is definitely more willing to contribute more than the average person;

Secondly, who doesn’t know that he mixes well in Hollywood, don’t say anything else, just say hello, those big-name actors who have worked with him take time to play for a while, it’s okay, or they can attract many Hollywood stars. Therefore, even the surrounding billboards and participating movies are more important.

You know, compared to other regions, Hollywood really doesn't make it to the Cannes Film Festival. Many times, people play it on their own. After all, people’s Oscars are more influential. It’s not necessary to put the power of awards and public relations to Cannes. .

Based on this, Hollywood has reason not to escape.

Of course, they didn't know that Lehman was now connected with China Film, the official organization of the Chinese film industry, otherwise the motivation for the invitation might be more sufficient.

They have been in contact with Chinese-language filmmakers many times, aren't they also taking advantage of it?

Anyway, what the Cannes Organizing Committee wants is enough gimmicks, gold content, exposure and even the quality of the source, and Lehman can give them all.In other words, with Mann Media’s position at this time, as long as he gets through him, part of the Hollywood showbiz and part of the Chinese-speaking movie circle will have a smooth relationship, and they don’t have to worry about sighing, but they don’t know where to do it.

Unfortunately......
