Legendary Hollywood Director

On the evening of May 28, the 59th Cannes International Film Festival officially closed.

As it approached 7:00 pm, it was much deserted outside the Movie Palace.

Tourists, filmmakers, buyers and sellers have mostly left the seaside town.

After all, there is no platform like Cannes, and there is no benefit in staying any longer.

Of course, Lyman and the creators of No Country for Old Men arrived on time and attended the closing ceremony.

No cheers, no swarms of reporters, just the red carpet.

Everyone passed through quickly, with anticipation, but a farce ushered in.

In other words, among the crowd, only Lehmann was a little mentally prepared, but he was still disturbed by the judging panel's show.

The less important Fabisi awards were awarded to Climate and Paraguay Tree Hammock.

The Golden Camera for Budapest Island...

In short, the intention of dividing the fruit is too obvious.

Think about it, the Palme d'Or was won by Ken Loach's The Wind Blows the Wheat Waves. Although it is controversial, it is actually very small. After all, people's qualifications are there, and they have competed in Cannes several times, but this time they got what they paid for. wish.

Then, the film Flanders, which also involves anti-war ideology, won the Grand Jury Prize. This is a bit outrageous, but the director of the film, Rachad Bochara, is French, and the geopolitical plus points are politically correct. Give it.

Immediately afterwards, the King of Sunglasses gave full play to the principle of returning the favor, and did not neglect another film predecessor, Pedro Almodovar. The best script this time is also a matter of course, not a bad deal, but the script award Compared with the Palme d’Or, it’s definitely a bit lower grade. In order to make up for the old ones, the six actresses of “Return” all won the Cannes Film Actress;

And the actress gave six, can there be too few movie stars?

As a result, the five male stars of Glorious Years collectively won, and they matched with the six major movie queens.

If nothing else, it is obviously admirable to present awards like this, to boast about the performance level of European actors - this is not a sin.

Of course, Lehman also participated in this transaction.

Therefore, the award jury award, which is second only to the Palme d’Or, was accepted by No Country for Old Men. In addition, in return for Lehmann’s support, the Mexican director Alejandro, who was recruited by Firefly, won the best director for Babel.

Looking at the entire award distribution, between Europe and Hollywood, sharpness and political correctness, men's rights and women's rights, masters and newcomers, etc., the jury led by the King of Sunglasses found a balance point, and no one fell behind.

Therefore, this year's Cannes Film Festival ended successfully in such a win-win situation. I have to say that the king of sunglasses has a good coordination ability. No wonder the film was well-made-isn't the happy ending so great?

Of course, multiple wins are multiple wins, but the media and the masses are angered.

There are countless titles such as Five Shadows and Six Queens and Shadows, and a lot of artillery fire was concentrated on the awards ceremony.

It also made the organizing committee have a headache - is it just dividing the cake? It's so outrageous that 11 actor awards are given out at once. Isn't this standing and being sprayed?

After reading the distribution of the awards, there was an uproar in public opinion, and there were one after another shouting injustice and shady voices.

The people have also learned a lot. They have seen double-yolked eggs at the film festival, but haven’t they seen 5 or 6-yellow eggs?

- Your chickens are really good.

Anyway, this Cannes Film Festival is a big scandal.

Due to the time difference, when the news reached the United States, it caused a commotion again. American newspapers were also happy to read French jokes, and they took the initiative to report.

For a time, the public opinion in these areas was surprisingly unified, and they all sprayed it from various angles.

Doubts continued.

In addition, there are also a group of people who feel that No Country for Old Men did not win the Palme d'Or is also a product of shady.

But Lehman himself didn't care about this statement, but Liam used this turmoil to shape No Country for Old Men into a victim image, and the popularity increased a lot.

Of course, if you are scolded and scolded, the organizing committee will not stand up and make any statement. Is it common for film festivals to be scolded?

Is there still less Oscar shady?

Big brother, don't laugh at second brother, but this time Cannes was a mess.

Pay attention to this, if you take it too seriously, you will already lose.

So, on the day of the closing, Lehman got the trophy, and in addition to taking a good impression, he immediately turned his attention to No Country for Old Men which was being shown.

After the first weekend, No Country For Old Men was no longer the single-day champion in North America, and it was screened for 5 days and ranked second with a total of 59.35 million;

The third-ranked The Da Vinci Code has gradually lost its strength, only getting 57.12 million.

Beyond the Hedge, the fourth on the list, received 46.28 million.

......

The 12th horror movie See No Evil has accumulated 8.79 million weekly.

It is worth mentioning that the cumulative global box office of The Da Vinci Code has exceeded 350 million. If you remove the production budget and distribution expenses, you can definitely make a lot of money. As for the championship, it was airborne by X-Men 3: The Last Stronghold, which recently joined the battlefield this weekend.

The X-Men series has no doubts about its ability to attract money. It only took three days and early screenings to get a box office of 120 million US dollars and won the first place in the North American film market for the week (May 22 to May 28).

The film is directed by Brett Ratner, who once directed Rush Hour, and tells the story of the X-Men faced with a choice when a pharmaceutical company wants to develop a drug to treat a genetic mutation.

The addition of such a blockbuster instantly changed the battle situation.

For Lehman, of course, he hopes that the release schedule of No Country for Old Men can be a little less stressful, but obviously, this is not something he can control, and he can't help others make money.

There is no way, life has to go on, and the first week's harvest of 59.35 million US dollars is not too low.

......

In the midst of this hustle and bustle, the bosses of EMI, Gaumont and Europa suddenly invited Lehmann to gather.

Although it was easy to talk on the phone, chatting and discussing, but it was actually about the promotion of No Country for Old Men in France.

To know that the talks were rushed that day, Liam only came up with a preliminary cooperation agreement, and many things still need to be discussed in detail, not to mention that the distribution work of Untouchable also requires the cooperation of several companies. to talk about.

After all, the preparatory work for Untouchable went quite smoothly, and when Lehmann made time, he could shoot.

In other words, if you want these local snakes to contribute, you have to talk about specific interests, and their control in France is not the top.

After all, it's all about benefits.

If you are in the film industry, you cannot do without this.

Since people open the invitation first, they are obviously very sincere - No Country for Old Men and Untouchable are both good projects, at least that's how they see it.

Lehman had a headache. If they really paid attention, it was obviously impossible to cut a little bit of meat, and it was estimated that it would be bleeding heavily.

Alas, the producers are still too weak in terms of distribution, be it North America or France.

After all, no matter how good a movie is, if there is no good schedule and no good theater resources, it will be restricted everywhere.

Seeing others take the least risk and take a lot of advantage is really unbalanced.

The channel is the king of the four words, how much sadness in the industry.

Lehman couldn't help but think: It can only be seen and removed, otherwise what else can be done?

Movie not released? Not for sale?

Anyway, I can't escape. Sooner or later, I will be slaughtered.

After Layman agreed, he comforted himself and said that being slaughtered at least has the value of being slaughtered. If there is no benefit, who will pay attention to you.

Take it slow, one day, we can also go to the top to see the scenery.

Of course, before going to the appointment, Lehman had to meet and chat with the King of Sunglasses.

In the so-called transaction, people are notorious, and they get benefits, so they have to deepen their friendship.

Furthermore, don't underestimate the connections of the King of Sunglasses. This guy is also popular in Hong Kong and the mainland. He is also very influential in many mainstream film festivals. For Firefly, he is a good friend.

However, second only to the field of literature and art, business is also a hammer.

Few of the films made by the King of Sunglasses can make money, and his broken film company is also an empty shell.

However, there is no shortage of investment for the King of Sunglasses to make movies, and a lot of people give him money, provided that the project is reliable...
