Chapter 627： Cannes jury

This is a nice word to say, but there are a lot of commitments, or a lot of dissatisfaction?

Are there more people who have won awards, or more people who have not won awards?

It would be nice not to be pointed at the nose and scolded, Lehmann said angrily: "The director is disrespectful, who would like to obey only one person? If I was the only judge, I would accept it, but with so many people voting together, I consciously couldn't convince me. Others also support the movie I like. If it doesn't work, why waste time, and my own movie needs such an opportunity. Don't go, don't go."

On the other end of the phone, Luc Besson felt helpless. He was entrusted by several old seniors who met in the organizing committee, and swore to invite him to the Lehmann platform - not only the director needs fame, but the film festival also needs the participation of directors with great reputation, otherwise there will be no niche film festival in any area. Baba's invitation to an international director paid a high price to appear in the meeting, and it would make everyone suffer.

why?

Just for the reputation of those directors, going there will definitely give the film festival a face and gold. Just think about it, if a film festival does not have any famous filmmakers willing to participate, who will recognize the authority and impartiality of the selection?

What can't be recognized is pure self-exaltation.

And Lehman, who is now an authority in the field of film, is like a well-known public figure with a lot of titles that was very bluffing in the past.

Looking at the titles, the Palme d'Or winner, the Oscar winner for the best foreign language figurine, has made a blockbuster movie with a global box office of more than 700 million, not to mention several winners and actresses, isn't he still a well-known member of the movie?

If not, the threshold for public recognition of this movie is really high - obviously impossible.

Luc Besson thought about it, and then gave a compromise plan - anyway, the first task is to invite people to be judges.

If I wanted to let Lehmann serve as the jury for the non-competition unit, I would definitely not refuse.

Well, the Cannes Film Festival is divided into the main competition unit and the non-competition unit. The latter includes the director's fortnight, short film competition, film cornerstone, etc., all of which are mainly to promote newcomers. It is not too formal, so there is no need to Lehmann "showed up" and attracted attention.

At this point, what else could Lehmann say, so he had to agree, but he also understood that he didn't have so much time to be responsible for the preliminary selection work, and he also clearly stated that he wouldn't have much time to spend on it.

Luc Besson agreed.

When this matter was settled, Lehmann had some inexplicable expectations in his heart.

In his opinion, as Eva said, it will be very blissful, with a sense of satisfaction and vanity.

Lehmann also doesn't think his ability is not enough to be elected as a judge.

As a double soul, deeply imprinted on the memory of the original owner, although Lehmann sometimes has a cynical heart and despises many French literary films, he is unavoidably infected by mainstream values. He still hopes that French films can become better.

Otherwise, why did he spend so much energy on making more in-depth films?

On the one hand, this is actually a means of making a name for itself, which can improve the director's qualifications; on the other hand, is it not to satisfy the purer production concept of his own filmmakers, and he wants to support such themes in his bones, so as not to let literary and artistic thinking be influenced by his own. The company completely disappeared, and everyone played business together.

No matter how much you question the Cannes Film Festival, it is the first-class international film festival and the pride of French cinema.

You know, the higher the status, the farther you can see.

So his hesitation was because he was worried about being scolded and conflicting with his own interests - he was really a judge of the organizer, and he had the nerve to award the award to his own company's work? Don't really have a face.

People still have to cherish their own face when they are alive.

And if it was replaced by a less visible non-competition unit, it would be much more acceptable to Lehmann.

There are not many words in this regard, anyway, Lehman's psychological journey is like this.

Hanging up the phone, Lehman lost the nature to complete the great harmony of his life, instead he put on a coat and went to the study to write the outline of the script.

The script he wants to give to Sophia is a sci-fi love movie that takes place in the future but is essentially a literary-oriented love movie.

To sum it up in one sentence, "Do you want a lover who is tailor-made for you?"

Love can always make people interpret different flavors, but for some people, love is too heavy, too heavy to accept that their life has been changed, do not want to feel bound and depressed because of commitments, do not want to worry about not being able to satisfy their lover The request made, always being able to feel the beauty of love without burden is what they need.

Is there such a love in this world? No compromise, no tolerance, no change...

The fantasy turns into reality. In the future, there will be a girlfriend generated by an artificial intelligence operating system to give the most spatial love in all aspects, and the story starts from such a human-machine love.

In fact, there are quite a few similar movies depicting artificial intelligence.

"Machine Butler", "I, Robot", "Robot Story", "Robocop"... For artificial intelligence, including directors, there are always many ideas born, some are becoming reality, others have not yet .

The script chosen by Lyman is "She", also known as "Untouchable Her" and "Cloud Lover", written and directed by Spike-Jones in 2014.

It tells the story of the male protagonist, Theodore, as a writer, the most common thing to do is to write love letters for people who are not good at expressing their emotions. His love words are touching, but they are just for others. His own life is still a mess.

After divorcing his ex-wife, he was always inexplicably lonely, melancholy, and lonely, which is consistent with the tone in Lost in Translation.

Sophia is particularly good at expressing such delicate emotions. Even if it is all trivial scenes, there is no earth-moving plot line, but the love movies she directs always feel very comfortable.

Confusion and loneliness are the two major themes in her films, and it happens that "She" fits them all.

The subject matter is suitable, the investment is not high, and it will not take the great risk of failure, and it can achieve both fame and fortune. Is there a more suitable work for Sophia than this?

More importantly, Lehmann couldn't make this movie, and his style couldn't play this delicate, feminine fantasy-like love.

But, Sophia can.

Lehman carefully described the story background of the script and the character settings. Sophia supplemented the rest of the details. He couldn't write the flashy literary style.

Silent all night.

The next day, Lyman went to Sophia with the script.

——Not the manor last time, Sophia rented an apartment outside by herself.

In the living room, Sophia and Lehman sat opposite each other, carefully reading through the script in their hands.

The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. Just as Lyman speculated to her, she really liked very delicate emotional expressions.

The charm of Theodore and Samantha's relationship lies in the fact that no one knows the future. Their love is not as close as ordinary lovers. Although they get along day and night, they are separated by an untouchable network.

But it is precisely because of this that Theodore doesn't have to take real responsibility, and he doesn't have to worry about the possibility of the future. What he is afraid of is the conflict between two people in real life due to various reasons.

That kind of quarrel was something Theodore tried his best to avoid.

But is this love perfect?

——Too perfect but loses its humanity Samantha's love for Theodore is more like a man's accommodation to the pets around him.

Because it is virtual, artificial intelligence, and an editing program, the disparity of species determines the basis for emotional breakdown.

"There is no love without pain in this world, everyone has their own shape, in order to love someone, revealing their shape to the other party, for the other party to change the original shape more or less unconsciously, this The process cannot be smooth, so there must be pain. But this pain will make love more bright and firm."

Sophia likes this theme very much.

She accepted the script and said to Lyman, "I need a certain amount of time to continue polishing. When I finish the script, I will come to you again."

Lehmann is insufferable.

If Sophia didn't understand the story and fill it with her own thoughts, this movie might not be able to be made very well.

Anyway, the fat water does not flow to outsiders, and the Coppola family can become an ally of Firefly. Sofia is not an ignorant director who can only be flattered—although his father helped her a lot, but he really couldn’t and couldn’t help her.

Lehman was quite willing to pull it.
