Chapter 640： earn face

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

With a little guilty conscience, he held the wine glass and thought, if he was talking about film and television creation, filming skills, and 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 bother the two of them to talk, even Ryan ran away.

Alas, at this time, no kind person has come out to smooth the game, so that I can leave this topic out, but this banquet is not formal, everyone present is holding a game and socializing mentality, making friends with wine glasses everywhere, even if 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 that he can make is really interesting.

Perhaps it was because Lehmann entered the Europa film 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 veteran 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 he is also a respectable person.

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

In his mind, he vaguely remembered several classic French films, and he thought about it carefully when he pulled the film...

Thinking of this, Lehmann 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."

Okay, finally got this stubborn out of the way.

After Edmund, two or three more people came over to get acquainted with each other, and Layman greeted them politely.

The banquet lasted until midnight before they dispersed.

Lyman was a little drunk. 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 over.

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. The woman was not seen at the banquet last night. 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? Lyman." The boss of EMI greeted with a smile.

After all, they are also one of the most powerful people in the local film industry. They are polite, but Lehmann couldn't hold it, so he replied with a smile, "I'm in good spirits. Thank you for your hospitality."

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

In this regard, Laiman had already guessed, and he politely shook her hand, even if he 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 Firefly's strength and the good situation of "The Walking Dead" 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.

Lehmann said goodbye to the boss of EMI in a hurry, and went straight back to the hotel that the crew had decided upon after a courtesy.

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 grand event is coming, it attracts countless tourists from all over the world and fellows 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.

And there are still nearly ten days before the opening ceremony of Cannes, but the hotels and hostels near the Film Palace are already full of people.

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

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 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 rookie directors in France willing to participate, hoping to be recognized and become famous.

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, Lehmann didn't know all this.

He also thought that the list of jury members 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 wasn't 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.

Whoever criticizes and who doesn't will attract controversy.

And now it's not enough to try to pick one up, Lehmann 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 laughed 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 didn't hide it, and explained it well.

In other words, although the non-competition unit is not high in gold content, the regulations on works are very small. On the contrary, 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, too, has 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 high big.

Of course, with the exception of Lehman, none of the people present here are famous. Some of them are screenwriters, and they still come here to comment on the movie, so usually everyone looks at it and picks it up. It's a fun thing to do, but it's less utilitarian.

After all, out-of-competition units were not given that much attention.

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.

Laiman was about to say a few words of humility, but when he saw the surprising unanimity of everyone, they nodded, but none of them disagreed. With just a few words, Laiman was put in a position where he could really decide who won the award, and he had the most say.

In fact, it is true that Lehmann is a filmmaker who has been 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 Lehmann was a little happy to thank everyone for their compliments.

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

Isn't this the face he earned when he made movies?
