Legendary Hollywood Director

Of course, there is no absolute convincing movie in the movie, this truth, Lehmann has known for 800 years.

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 Lehman annoyed about now?

Lehman expressed his doubts and that many people had begun to approach him for inquiries, and they didn't know how to refuse.

- A fool is willing to do something that offends people for no reason.

Edmund lamented: It's like this every year, just get used to it.

Even the old gentleman doesn't know what to do? Lehmann didn't believe it.

Edmund heard the meaning of Lehman's words, and said sincerely: This matter is really difficult to handle. In fact, every year the selection will encounter all kinds of contradictions. For example, people like you. If you have already achieved results, will you give it or not? If you give it, there will be nothing for the newcomer. If you don’t give it, do you think you will feel comfortable? Also, because of the number of tourists and so many filmmakers who came all the way to participate, give Whether or not to give it is also a consideration. So I can only say a trade-off.”

Then there is no hidden threshold?

Edmund pondered: There are still some. For example, politically correct works such as anti-war, ideological equality, and racism are unacceptable, the probability of winning is indeed higher, because awarding these works is the most difficult to cause controversy. You It is impossible to criticize the ideas of those works, and since they cannot be criticized, they will naturally block the mouths of many people.”

Damn it, it's ripping it off, and it's on the banner of political correctness.

But it has to be said that if any film is the least controversial, it is indeed the most politically correct film.

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

This is a very tricky direction.

Edmund said: Yesterday we also organized an internal film viewing for your No Country for Old Men. It was filmed very well. This is what I thought after watching it, but the social atmosphere and characters proposed in it It’s still a concern if the setting stands out to one extreme. Besides, it’s not a good thing for you to win another Palme d’Or after only one year. I think they mean that it won’t be awarded, but there should be compensation. Do you know why I tell you this? Edmund asked suddenly.

Lyman shook his head.

But he answered himself: The future of French cinema still depends on you people, and your films make me the most delighted. This is what many people say about you. The organizing committee of the last session I can give you the grand prize because of similar appreciation and recognition of your identity. No matter what, you always walked out of Cannes.”

Lyman is ashamed.

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

Edmund's eagerness 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.

So, after chatting for a while, Lehmann went back to his work.

When it was about to get off work, the person who came to invite him in the morning hurried over and said, It's really hard to avoid human feelings, sir, please be sure to show your respect.

Lyman saw his earnest attitude,

And also verbally agreed, did not refuse.

Anyway, nothing happened at night.

As the man left the Movie Palace, he walked all the way to the right and arrived at the high-end hotel that was lined up next to him.

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

Of course, this kind of mutual benefit has become a grand event until now, which is not expected by everyone.

And a clubhouse with exquisite decoration between the hotels is the destination of their trip.

The man introduced: The chefs here are very good, and the drinks are directly customized from the winery. Those few specially wanted to invite the gentlemen to taste it. Then he lowered his voice and explained: It is confidential here. Very good, and I'm not afraid of being known by outsiders, which will be detrimental to this matter.

The two entered the private room under the leadership of the foreman.

The few people sitting inside immediately got up and greeted them attentively.

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

In fact, the non-main competition unit is not as insignificant as Lehmann thinks.

Of course, such marginal awards are useless for those who have become famous, but for those who have just stepped into the threshold of directing, it is very helpful.

In addition to funding bonuses, what is more important is that if you can win the One Kind of Concern award, that is, the Newcomer Award, your next work will have a high chance of entering the main competition unit to compete for the Palme d'Or.

Also known as the Cannes lineage.

This is also the way that every film festival will create a similar way of selecting rookies.

After eating and drinking, it is natural to talk about awards.

This is something that Lehman had already guessed in his mind.

And these are all French filmmakers. They are all from the same circle, so they must be closer than outsiders.

One of them said: It's a little hard to ask for this. But we won't let you down.

Is there any benefit...

Faced with the request, Lehman pondered: It's very difficult for me to make a choice in this regard, so I plan to refer to the opinions of other parties. I have to convince the public.

The word convincing the public was specifically pointed out by Lehman.

Isn't he very reluctant to find a relationship and go for a door, the society is like this, after all, there are only a few people who help out and do not help relatives.

At least, Lyman is a selfish person.

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

And cheating for a rookie award is not worth it to Lehman - can the reputation and character we have built so hard can only match a rookie award? Not even getting an Oscar.

Of course, he is not an unkind person, and everyone is so sincere, Lehman continued: So, I plan to arrange a few screenings, comprehensively evaluate the film review and audience evaluation and internal opinions, and give appropriate answers in three aspects. .Your works, I will give priority to screening.

——If Gaeon can't beat it, you can't blame me. Lyman thought.

The only thing he can open up and give the French film circle an explanation without damaging his reputation is that all the shortlisted French films will be given additional screenings, which is already very affordable.

When several of them heard it, their hearts were filled with joy.

The so-called extra screenings basically represent the type of films with high reputation, even the main competition.

So, Lehman is still very face-to-face.

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

——Although he has a good character, he is not good at communication, and he does not fall into the evaluation of being easy to get along with.

After saying goodbye to each other and leaving, the next day, Lehmann immediately set about arranging screenings.

The organizing committee has 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 if the film cannot enter the main competition, nor can it enter the non-main competition, but it is still the official organization of the screening session, and you can also find an open space to exchange movies.

Every year, the number of films exhibited at Cannes is extremely large, which is the direction that Liam and others choose the source of the film.

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

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

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

After Lehmann said that he would not participate, the organizing committee found the King of Sunglasses as the main judge after several evaluations, and then invited the Chinese actress International Chapter, a well-known British actress, Tim Burton's wife, Red Queen Helena Bonham Carter , as well as Italian pearl Monica Bellucci, Israeli director Ilya Suleiman, British actor Tim Ross (the protagonist in The Pianist at Sea in 1900) and Samuel Jackson and others.

Each Cannes jury is roughly divided in this way.

One is famous and adds starlight; the other is a successful international director; the third is at least one French local filmmaker; the fourth is the best selected members with different regional backgrounds.

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