Chapter 327： wiggle

When he had nothing to do, Lyman went to see a movie called "Cleaning".

This is Cannes. There are many movies showing in the theater, and even many filmmakers who have not participated in the exhibition will find a way to find an open space to show them.

As for why I chose this one, it's entirely because the film's starring is Zhang Manyu.

He only went in after seeing the poster. Black and white posters, cold titles, if it weren't for that figure, it would be hard to be attractive.

The director is a Frenchman named Olivier Assayas.

Speaking of which, this person is still Manyu's current husband.

The two met in 1996, and Olivier adheres to the tradition of the French director industry and loves and accepts the culture of other countries.

I also made a "Portrait of Hou Hsiao-hsien", because this guy's favorite director is Hou Hsiao-hsien, and he is a loyal fanboy.

A "Blurry Tribulation" was the first cooperation with Manyu, and then they fell in love because of the play, or cherished each other. Anyway, since then, the two have started a relationship.

In 1998, he officially entered the palace of marriage.

As a direct descendant of Cannes, the screening hall of this film is very good and spacious inside.

When Lehman entered, it was almost full.

Watching movies, it's a typical way of literature and art.

It is about a smashing music show host (played by Zhang Manyu) who was jailed for 6 months for duping, and her husband died of an overdose. Everyone around her felt that she was the reason for the broken family, and her son was taken up by her grandparents.

As for the plot behind her, she changed her story in order to regain custody of her son after she was released from prison.

It's a very common content theme about redemption, and it's also a very common art style.

Therefore, the rhythm of this film is very protracted. If it weren't for the great breakthrough in Man Yu's image and the role she created, the breath of life is good, and there is really not much bright spot.

Quite dull.

Lyman also understands the theme the film wants to express.

It's nothing more than wanting to say, "No one can never do something wrong all his life. It's not terrible to do something wrong. The key is whether you have the courage to face life again."

The end of the movie is also a point. The child's grandparents are convinced by the host's strong self-reliance and are willing to support her and the child to rebuild the family.

OK, complete.

After the screening, the audience sporadically discussed the plot.

Lehman also followed out of the theater, and was about to go shopping elsewhere when he heard a familiar voice.

"Lyman?"

Turning his head, he saw a middle school history book with a portrait of Ming Taizu approaching - with a high forehead, an elongated face, and a big conspicuous chin, are you Yuanzhang-Tarantino?

Well, in fact, many directors are not good-looking, after all, they don't rely on their faces to eat.

So is Quentin Tarantino.

He was the chairman of the jury invited this year, and when he saw Lehmann, he took the initiative to come over to say hello.

Speaking of which, he was very disrespectful to Lehmann because of the film, but he never held any grudges. That's all in the past. Furthermore, he is very good at a director who is talented and capable...  

Well, it was actually someone from Warner who found him through a relationship and asked him to support Lehman, and he agreed.

"Quentin."

Lyman looked surprised, and then glanced at another man who was following him.

The appearance of this person is very normal, of course, not handsome.

"This is my friend Robert Rodriguez, also a film director."

Quentin took the initiative to introduce.

Well, Quentin is indeed very loyal.

Later, the director's most famous work "Sin City" was Quentin Tarantino's friend who has been supporting him, and this was successfully promoted.

In order to increase his popularity, he also took the initiative to run over to take a picture, put his name on it, and praised Robert.

The two have also collaborated many times, including Quentin's "Killing the Dawn", which was written by Robert.

He also co-directed "The Torment Room," and Robert's part is called "Planet of Fear."

This fellow also filmed "Alita: Battle Angel", which Uncle Cameron served as the screenwriter. A very good director.

It's just that now he can't compare with the two in front of him.

Several people shook hands politely.

Robert Rodriguez smiled: "Hello, Director Lyman, nice to meet you."

"Me too......"

"This time your new film is brought to the exhibition," Quentin Tarantino took over the topic and said, "It just so happens that we are going to the show together. I wonder how your film arrangement is going?"

"The screening starts tomorrow at 5pm, in the Louell Cinemas."

That's what Warners called to inform him, Lyman told the truth.

"Well, when the time comes, we must go."

"thanks."

......

The few people are actually not that familiar. If it wasn't for Warner's sake, Quentin wouldn't want to see Lyman.

After all, he is very grateful to Harvey Weinstein, and Harvey hates Lehmann very much, and his impression of Lehman is definitely not much better. In addition, when "Kill Bill" was shown, it was "Chainsaw" produced by Lyman's Firefly Pictures that grabbed the limelight.

But to say that it has risen to the level of the enemy, it is not so.

Depending on their abilities, they will lose their skills, and they will not be able to reach that level.

hotel.

"Robert, how's your discussion with Frank Miller?"

Quentin Tarantino asked with concern.

As early as two months ago, Robert - Rodriguez wanted to adapt a comic.

And that comic was written by Frank Miller.

This is a real master, very famous in the comics industry.

"He still has some doubts, and I will try to convince him."

Quentin paid a lot for the project "Sin City". As early as when Robert had the idea of ​​​​this adaptation, he went directly to persuade Harvey and other executives to invest in the project.

As for Flange Miller, he simply cares about his own efforts and doesn't want to be photographed indiscriminately.

So, for so many months, Robert has been trying to reach out and convince Frank Miller.

Quentin has known Robert for a long time. From the beginning of his own debut, he has been in contact with Robert, which is really interesting to him.

In terms of the style of the works, the two also have many similarities, or in other words, they have been together for a long time, and each has some influence.

For example, they like to take turns and create suspense through editing, such as answers to colors and violence.

As for Quentin, the movie has a strong mix and match style. It is called a tribute to the classics, and if you pretend to be a little bit more forceful, it is called postmodern.

As for Robert, after all, he is a screenwriter, and he pays more attention to the arrangement of the story. He is not so imaginative, but he also likes to capture the lines of the characters, which is also a prominent one.

They are a typical example of helping each other.
