Legendary Hollywood Director

Talking about topics like cultural ideology is really not Lehmann's forte.

Feeling a little guilty, he held his wine glass and thought, if he was talking about film and television creation, shooting skills, or even French New Wave works, he would be able to answer, but he really didn't know what to say.

Looking around, everyone had a tacit understanding and didn't disturb the conversation between the two, even Ryan ran away.

Alas, at this time, no kind person came out to smooth things out, so that I could leave this topic out, but this banquet was not formal. Someone who wants to know Lehman will not be stupid enough to run over at this time.

However, the fact that a French director who has made a name for himself does not have a French film on his hands is really interesting to explore.

Perhaps it was because Lehmann entered the Europa Films system from the very beginning, and Luc Besson was not a filmmaker who fully respected French culture. If he changed to a more traditional film company, his script project might be submitted and even reviewed. It is impossible to cross the threshold of project approval. Only then would he think of making more French works.

Of course, this is all just speculation.

Lehmann has passed the initial accumulation stage, and it is difficult for his reputation to fall easily with a film.

However, it is certainly not wrong for a French film predecessor like Edmund to try to persuade the younger generation to carry forward more French culture.

He has been serving French cinema for so many years and is also a respectable man.

Lehmann thought, since there is such a perception, then it would be better to make a French film to dispel this perception.

In his mind, he vaguely remembered several classic French films.

Thinking of this, Lehman said with a smile: Actually, I had a similar idea for filming a long time ago, but for so many years I have been wanting to polish the plot more comprehensively, and it was not until recently that I had a general idea.

Edmund sighed: Oh? That being said, I'm really looking forward to your work.

Alright, finally got this out of the way.

After Edmund, two or three more people came to get to know each other, and Lehmann greeted them politely.

The banquet lasted until midnight before they dispersed.

Lyman was slightly drunk, and under the arrangement of the hosts, he rested at this manor.

When I woke up the next day, the sun was shining, and it was obviously almost noon.

There was no beautiful lady who warmed the bed beside him, and no one came in to disturb him. Just waiting for him to open the door, a servant immediately ran down to report.

Then, three more people came.

Walking in the front is a man and a woman. The man is the big boss of EMI Pictures. He looks like he is in his 50s. He looks ordinary. Graceful and graceful, it was about the most moving time of the 20s, and there was a servant behind her holding the toiletries.

Did you rest well last night? Laiman. EMI boss greeted with a smile.

After all, they are also one of the most powerful people in the local film industry. They are polite, and Laiman can't hold it, so he replied with a smile: The spirit is just right. Thank you for your hospitality.

Ha ha.

The EMI boss immediately introduced his wife to Lehmann, the very young and beautiful girl next to him.

In this regard, Laiman has long guessed, and politely shook her hand, even if he had said hello.

And it's not surprising that Lehmann is kind to him.

EMI has always been doing business in the international film market, relying on the platform of the Cannes Film Festival, and making good friends with many filmmakers, but EMI is also like most French studios, and has insufficient influence on Hollywood. In the eyes, it is difficult to eat.

Thinking of it this way, courtesy Lehman is just a recognition of the strength of Firefly and the good situation of The Walking Dead, which is co-invested. It is polite to have money to make money.

After chatting for a while, Lyman took the toiletries from the servant.

After washing up, I had another lunch.

Lehman hurriedly bid farewell to the boss of EMI, and went straight back to the hotel set by the crew after being polite.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, except for Eva, who had to stay at home for a while, the crew set off again to the seaside town of Cannes.

Now that this event is coming, it attracts countless tourists from all over the world and like-minded people who are interested in exchanging films here.

Cannes was soon buzzing with tens of thousands of people arriving from all sides.

Everyone stayed at the pre-determined hotel again. Of course, Lehman and Ryan didn't need it and went home.

There are still nearly ten days before the opening ceremony of Cannes, but the hotel near the Film Palace is already full of people.

And most of these people are actors and stars in various regions or behind-the-scenes workers.

As a result, people who make friends, build relationships, public relations, and take the opportunity to do business and sell various souvenirs also gather here, which is really lively.

There was a small venue separated by a certain distance from the several screening halls that competed with the film palace master. There was a long queue in front of the window sill at the entrance, which was also extremely popular.

Here is the registration office for the non-main competition unit. As long as you pay a certain fee and process the materials, you can participate in the competition.

Although many people participated in previous years, it was not as much discussion as this year.

The reason, of course, was the news that Lehmann was on the jury from the organizing committee, which made many local new directors in France willing to participate in the hope of being recognized and making a name for themselves.

This is a wonderful thing, and there is a real director with a background, and there is an endless stream of natural responders.

The news has been fermenting for several weeks, and everyone who knows it knows that people from all over the world who are willing to participate come with their proud works.

Of course, all this Lehmann did not know.

He also thought that the list of the jury was kept secret, how could he know that in order to enhance the influence of this year, the organizing committee took the initiative to create momentum to attract people.

It was not until he went to the jury venue and got to know the judges one by one that he learned from everyone's mouth.

For the first time, Lehmann felt that he had been tricked by the organizing committee. Again, the selection itself was a thankless process.

Judging who does not judge who will lead to controversy.

And now it's not enough to try to pick one, Lehman is a little depressed.

He worried: The so-called non-competitive unit is an award of the nature of encouragement. Most of the participants are newcomers who have just come into contact with the industry. There may be a lot of rough shots, but there must be very few people who are really professional and skilled in shooting. There are very few good works that can be made, so there should be not many works that can meet these conditions, and the shortlisted films are too rare, so it should be easy to choose, right?

One of the judges smiled and said, It's not what you think. If it's true, of course it's easy, but it's actually very difficult.

The man did not hide it, and explained it well.

In other words, although the non-competition unit is not high in gold content, the regulations for works are very small, but there are many election films.

Why?

Because even works with a duration of no more than 60 minutes need to be reviewed, and most of them are such long or short movies, one of them joked that he had seen a movie with a duration of more than 6 hours. The movie was really boring, it didn't even have a main line, the whole story was daily, and the man seemed to be walking around the street with a camera.

But this is also to be selected. And some masterpieces sometimes have scruples, and they are also put on non-competitive screenings. Of course, this one does not need their evaluation, it has been pre-determined.

Therefore, the threshold is so low, but the workload is very large.

Of course, with the exception of Lehman, none of the people present here are famous. Some of them are screenwriters and still come here to comment on the movie, so usually everyone is looking at it and picking it up.

After all, out-of-competition units are not that important.

After the official start, everyone was drinking coffee and talking about the division of labor, and they suggested that Lehmann should be the main judge.

Layman was about to say a few words of modesty, but when he saw everyone was surprisingly unanimous, they nodded, but none of them disapproved. In just a few words, Layman was put into a position where he could really decide who won the award, and he had the most say.

In fact, Lehman is really a filmmaker who is really noticed and recognized by the public. The other few are less than a fraction of Lehman's in terms of qualifications and grades. The only thing that can be compared is age.

However, there are still people younger than Lehman.

No one objected, and Lehman was a little happy to thank everyone for their praise.

It seems that we are also the No. 1 person with a head and face, and the reputation is convincing, and Lehman is a little complacent.

Isn't that what he earned when he made movies?
