Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 641



Although this venue is not as spacious as the main competition side, it is also a five-bay hall. There are several compartments next to the hall. Usually, the sundries are piled up. When the film festival starts, it becomes a place for showing movies.

After the simple arrangement, they can accommodate their 12 judges to watch the film individually.

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

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

What's more, the organizing committee didn't even mention any salary and benefits, and everyone worked for free, so it's even more free to do whatever they want - just follow the judges' thoughts, as long as you don't mess around.

Yes, it is quite free.

For example, many materials are still lined up, just pick one and watch it, and only watch the first ten minutes to decide whether you can enter the next stage, that is, the award selection after being shortlisted - first, sign up, and then select movies worthy of selection. Come out, and finally focus on sending out the awards.

The general process is such a process. Some people also attach great importance to the newcomer award. They think it is a kind of recognition and can encourage themselves to continue to walk in this field.

Moreover, after winning the award, the organizing committee can provide some 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 some money, and it’s okay to shoot low-cost themes, which is a more conscientious place in Cannes. Although they also play shady, they are also true to the film can help.

Sometimes fame is the biggest grant, isn't it?

With fame, is there a shortage of investors?

Filmmakers in many regions have benefited from Cannes, including Lehmann of course.

So, he was more attentive to this matter.

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

Thinking this way, it's more appropriate.

When it was dark, everyone discussed a few interesting things about watching the movie. For example, a certain director made another super-long movie, which lasted more than 4 hours. It tells the story of a person going from childhood to middle age. The time span is very large, and there are quite a few ideas; there are also the joys and sorrows of filming the porn industry, and the atmosphere is more peachy; of course, there are also short films, and there are many new ideas.

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

After a few days, according to everyone's selection, Lehmann drew up a preliminary list, and then sent it to the organizing committee to let him know.

Afterwards, the organizing committee posted several films that had been decided and this film list together, and publicized it on the official media. Even if the second stage was almost completed, the awards were just one step away.

I have to say that the presence of the Lehmann platform has indeed made some people pay attention to the non-competition unit.

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

So, the out-of-competition list went viral in a matter of days.

The credibility is higher than the previous non-competition units.

This made those shortlisted filmmakers suddenly take this selection seriously.

After all, once the degree of attention is high, the awards set are likely to be related to future reputation and qualifications.

It is also a part of taking it out to show off.

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

That is their most important vital interests.

For a time, the organizing committee did not expect the popularity of the non-competition unit to be so high, and they were all delighted that Leiman was the right person.

After all, the film festival is not afraid of controversy, it is afraid that it will not be popular and no one will pay attention.

And at this stage, if you fight for a little bit, you may win the award. The filmmakers who are shortlisted have to figure out a way to get around. If everyone else goes and doesn't go, it will be a loss.

And the thing about contacts can always break into the judges. It's impossible that none of the jury will come out to socialize?

For them, there is a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves. If they don't grasp it at this time, when will they grasp it?

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

The happy thing is that I am sought after, and after all, I am in a good mood. The sad thing is that there are too many relationships, and none of them want to offend.

But there are only so many awards, and everyone will fall after all the points. How can this be good?

This shows that the judges are really not good.

Once the attention is high, things are getting hotter, and even Lyman can't rest in peace.

And it's not just about selection.

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

Lyman got up this morning to go to the Cinema Palace venue, and saw Edmund waiting for him.

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

Lehman asked in surprise, Are you all right? Why do you have time to come and find me?

Edmund shook his head, There are 21 shortlisted films, it will definitely take a long time to debate, and also refer to the opinions of the audience, it is useless to be anxious. By the way, the long-prepared films you mentioned that day have specific plans. Yet?

All right, for this.

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

——Only 30 years old, to make such a achievement, I am not curious that it is fake.

Looking at the old man's scrutiny eyes, Laiman said, What about this side? I still have a task to do.

Edmund smiled and said, It's okay, what's the point of delaying the day, let's go, let's go see your new movie first. To be honest, I'm still looking forward to it.

The members of the Cannes Organizing Committee took the lead in arguing, what else did Lehmann have to say.

Anyway, he has been very annoying to communicate these days.

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

——It is normal to be in a bad mood after watching too many bad movies.

According to Lehmann, more than half of the works here are not available for theaters. waste.

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

The two went back by the way, just over ten minutes away.

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

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

Walking in again, there are several movie concept maps drawn on the writing board, plus the character settings and branch line design next to it, plus a stack of script drafts, this new work can be roughly clear in my mind.

This is a story about two men.

A wealthy, highly educated, living aristocratic life accidentally caused a high paraplegia due to a skydiving accident;

A rude, idle poor man living on bailout money.

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 such thing as empathy in this world.

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

Rich people can understand the difficulty of making a living around?

Can a carefree person understand what a person with delicate emotions thinks?

This movie is just about the stubbornness of a paraplegic person who doesn't like pity, doesn't want to be sympathized with, and the run-in of two very different people who live completely different lives.

A work of many thoughts in laughter.

A very terrifying French local bridge, a light comedy movie full of French jokes.

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

As he asked, he continued to focus on the scene storyboard on the tablet.

It's actually an autobiography, Lehmann said. It's based on Filippo Pozzo di Borgo's 'Second Breath.' This true story was made into a documentary the year before, and I After seeing this documentary, I had the idea to adapt it into a feature film...

This claim is half true.

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

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

Moreover, the original version was only released in 2008 by the two directors. After raising funds, it was released in 2011, and there was no copyright dispute.
