Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 649 The King of Sunglasses



The process of film festivals is very similar.

Moreover, most of the guests who participated in the opening ceremony were hungry and finished the venue, so of course the organizers have to express something.

In the banquet hall not far from the venue, Laiman rubbed his old waist, which was a little sore, and took some cakes and handed them to Eva.

After eating, drinking, and feeling almost the same, the scene turned into a polite communication.

At this moment, Edmund outside the door came to Laiman and greeted with a smile, Laiman, I'll take you to meet someone.

What? Lyman hadn't come out of the state of relaxed eating for a while, and then he realized that Edmund was talking to him and nodded in agreement.

But Edmund looked at Eva again, and Lyman patted his head and quickly said a few words to Eva before following up alone.

She is definitely inconvenient, especially about deals, PR.

Although Edmund is quite old, his actions are still very neat. Some time ago, in addition to helping Lehmann advance the preparations for Untouchable, he did not forget the film festival awards.

Therefore, this will also be the active matchmaking, so that Lemando can get to know some very important people.

Edmund looked at Lehmann and smiled: You must know one of this year's jury members. He has a good reputation in the industry.

Can I know who it is?

Jiawei-Wang. Edmund stopped, turned around, suddenly thought of something, and withdrew his smile, It stands to reason that the organizing committee should not be able to greatly interfere in the selection process, that is a disgrace to the judges. Respect, but sometimes everyone has concerns... well, you understand anyway, it's just an exchange...

Lyman was a little puzzled, He...

He's a smart guy, so he won't suffer anyhow.

Well, well, I see.

Although Lehman was still a little confused, he couldn't lose his courtesy.

......

Wang Jiawei, also known as the King of Sunglasses, loves to wear a pair of sunglasses to pretend.

He is obviously a screenwriter, but when he is a director, he does not like to follow the script, play a lot of investors, and cry a lot of actors.

All in all, it's a weird one.

What is even more bizarre is that the films he shoots at will are very popular internationally.

It is one of the rare Chinese regulars at international film festivals.

Not long ago, when the British film critics voted for the Ten Greatest Directors of the 20th Century, they ranked them ahead of masters such as Akira Kurosawa and Alfred Hitchcock.

A In the Mood for Love has captured the love of many female literary youths. The euphemism and softness, less dialogue and more empty scenes, and emotional scenes in the film have seriously affected new directors like Sophia.

It can be said that intentional processing is the best way for the King of Sunglasses.

And the appearance of this one is also very easy to identify - always wearing sunglasses, wide face, can be seen from afar.

As for why Edmund took Lehmann to meet the King of Sunglasses, this guy is not only the main judge of Cannes this year, but also because he has connections in many regional film circles.

For example, Venice also likes to ask him to pretend.

Oh no, reviews.

Since the 1990s, this fellow has grown into a very important leader among international directors, but now the decline of Hong Kong Films and the rise of the mainland market, the King of Sunglasses has gradually reduced film production, and his activity has plummeted. The way of the judges swayed everywhere.

In short, this product is still very chic, but it is still popular in the circle without taking pictures.

This can be regarded as the foundation of a career as a director. If an actor stops acting and fails to achieve results, it is estimated that he will retire early.

But if the director is too senior, he is definitely still a figurehead.

Of course, the identities of the two are not high or low, especially in terms of the relationship between the film festival.

If you compare the box office, of course, Lehmann is crushing, but unfortunately, the film festival rarely compares the box office - can the filmmaker's business be measured by money? vulgar. However, Hollywood is not so unified.

It is precisely because of this that the two are able to meet and chat with each other interestingly.

And every time Lehman sees this product in the photos or on the spot, he feels very happy.

Go up to the second floor with Edmund.

As soon as Laiman saw the King of Sunglasses, he immediately politely said: I often hear your name, and I don't want to meet him today. - Although Laiman wanted to laugh when he saw his face, he still held it back. Etiquette cannot be lost.

After hearing this, the King of Sunglasses showed a smile on his face. This smile made his eyes look smaller and more joyful. Haha, you're welcome, I've heard your name often. - During the conversation, it was very natural and soft. Hold Lyman's outstretched hand.

Of course, this is just a polite courtesy.

The king of sunglasses often hangs out in various countries, and he understands many ways of politeness. Even if it is a face-to-face gift, this guy is adaptable.

However, let's forget the two big men, they are similar, even Lehmann is somewhat fluffy.

Come on, let's sit inside— The King of Sunglasses calmly pulled out his hand and continued to greet him very normally.

After introducing the two of them, Edmund smiled and said, By the way, the jury has tried internally in the past few days to see if they have come to any conclusions. After a few more days, we need to come up with a result first. .

Don't worry, don't worry. The King of Sunglasses smiled and nodded, There will definitely be an answer in a few days. Of course, No Country for Old Men directed by Lehmann is naturally excellent, and I personally like it... ——Damn, the organizing committee sells favors, but asks me to pay for the endorsement, this is not to do.

The King of Sunglasses was gloomy.

As such a chief judge, there are more senior filmmakers than him, and no matter how you comment on it, it is particularly untenable.

That's good. Haha. Edmund gave Lyman a look.

As a result, Lehmann also began to tout it.

You have made a lot of money after watching Chongqing Forest and In the Mood for Love, and good words such as admiration should naturally be praised.

Since there is something to ask for, of course, the attitude should be more eager.

Of course, the King of Sunglasses has heard a lot of similar polite words these days. Which one is not thinking of an award and wants him to be the one to offend people.

Therefore, he immediately praised: After watching No Country for Old Men, I was deeply touched and very happy. Well, on the day of the screening, I will definitely join again and invite some friends to join.

Haha, I'm so troublesome, Edmund said.

Where, are you all directors?

However, Lehman shied away, and had to thank him with satisfaction.

Film festivals are just that.

Find an acquaintance to find a way.

You help me out, I'll help you stand off the stage, or you owe a favor, everyone knows it's just a deal, but it's put on a filmmaker's coat.

After all, whether the movie can win an award, the audience said it doesn't matter, it's just a reference at most.

The organizing committee and the jury can both have a relationship, thanks to the fact that Lehmann's film career is getting stronger and stronger, and more people are willing to help.

Afterwards, the King of Sunglasses also deliberately talked about films that were not in the main competition unit, revealing some of his thoughts.

For example, two or three works in the shortlist, I hope they can be taken care of.

In this way, he can also take care of the favors that come to him behind him.

After all, everyone plays like this.

If you owe each other's favor or exchange of interests, isn't it just like this step by step to build a relationship network.

The sedan chairs are carried by everyone, that's all.

Lehman thought for a while, nodded and said, Those films are just what I think are good, of course they need to be shown more. - It seems that the number of films will need to be changed a little bit.

Lehman put on an attitude that has long been so, and it is very refreshing.

The King of Sunglasses hehe laughed dryly, thinking to himself, this person is also interesting, do you understand? Pretend to be like.

However, the King of Sunglasses is also a good person in human relations, and he does not reveal it, so he has to change the topic to continue chatting.

After the transaction is completed, of course, a few polite words are required. Rewards cannot be lost.

Lyman smiled and pretended to be full of sex, while watching Edmund's constant conversation.

Always find it interesting.

If it was Oscar, maybe Harvey Weinstein did the same.

In fact, this is the one who has figured out the rules. After all, the judges always hope to get benefits or respect, reputation and the like from such a selection.

And Harvey is smart because he is smart. Relying on Jewish blood, after entering the circle, he actively caters to him, and he will not do too much to achieve such a scene.

Lehmann thought to himself...
