Chapter 641： "can not touch"

Although this venue is not as spacious as the one for the main competition, it is also a five-bay hall. There are several compartments next to the hall. Usually, the sundries are piled up. When the film festival begins, it becomes a place for movie screenings.

After the simple arrangement, they can accommodate their 12 judges to watch the film individually.

In addition, the organizing committee transferred several assistants to help organize and archive the selected films.

In fact, apart from consuming time and energy, selection is a simple matter.

What's more, the organizing committee didn't even mention any salary and benefits, and everyone was working for free, so it was more free to do whatever they wanted - just follow the judges' thoughts, as long as you don't mess around.

Yes, it's still quite free.

For example, many materials are still lined up, just pick one and watch it, just watch the first ten minutes to decide whether you can enter the next stage, that is, the award selection after being shortlisted - first, sign up, and then select the movies worthy of selection. , and finally concentrated on the awards.

The general process is such a process. Some people also attach great importance to the newcomer award. They think it is a kind of recognition and can encourage themselves to continue to walk in this direction.

Moreover, after winning the award, the organizing committee can provide some funds to support the shooting of the next work.

Of course, the money is not much, only 10,000 or 20,000 euros, but this money saves some money, and it’s okay to shoot low-cost themes, which is a more conscientious place in Cannes. Although they also play shady, they are also true to the film can help.

Sometimes, fame is the biggest grant, isn't it?

With the fame, is there a shortage of investors?

Filmmakers in many regions have benefited from Cannes, including Lehmann of course.

So, he was more attentive to this matter.

In other words, they are a group of casual role-playing players who are willing to spend time enjoying the process and focus on participating in the fun...

Thinking this way, it's more appropriate.

When it was dark, everyone discussed a few interesting things about watching the movie. For example, a certain director made another super-long movie, which lasted more than 4 hours. It tells the story of a person going from childhood to middle age. The time span is very large, and there are quite a few ideas; there are also the joys and sorrows of filming the **** industry, and the atmosphere is more peachy; of course, there are also short films, and there are many new ideas.

In short, with so many films, there are always more thoughtful films, and then they go home.

After a few days, according to everyone's selection, Lehmann drew up a preliminary list, and then sent it to the organizing committee to let him know.

Afterwards, the organizing committee posted a few of the films that had been decided and the film list together, and publicized it on the official media. Even if the second stage was almost completed, the award was just one step away.

I have to say that the presence of the Lehmann platform has indeed made some people pay attention to the non-competition unit.

After all, most of the local French media are very friendly to him and are happy to report on him.

So, the out-of-competition list went viral within a few days.

The credibility is higher than the previous non-competition units.

This made those shortlisted filmmakers suddenly pay more attention to this selection.

After all, once the degree of attention is high, the awards set are likely to be related to the future reputation and qualifications, and it is also a part of showing off.

Those engaged in literary and artistic work may not love money, but there is no one who does not love fame.

That is their most important vital interests.

For a while, the organizing committee did not expect that the non-competition unit would be so popular, and they were all delighted that Lehmann was the right person to invite.

After all, film festivals are not afraid of controversy, they are afraid that there will be no popularity and no one will pay attention.

And at this stage, if you fight for a little bit, you may win the award. The filmmakers who are shortlisted have to figure out a way to get around. If everyone else goes and doesn't go, wouldn't it be a loss?

And the thing about connections can always break into the judges. It's impossible that none of the jury will come out to socialize?

For them, it is a rare opportunity to make a name for themselves. If they don’t grasp it at this time, when will they grasp it?

For a while, the non-competition unit judges and the main competition unit judges were happy and depressed.

The happy thing is that I am sought after, and after all, I am in a good mood. The sad thing is that there are too many relationships, and none of them want to offend.

But there are only so many awards, and everyone will fall after all the points. How can this be done?

It can be seen that the judges are really not good.

Once the attention is high, things are getting hotter, and even Lyman can't rest in peace.

And, it's not just about selection.

By the way, Edmund, who just arrived in Paris some time ago at the manor banquet, was originally a member of the Cannes Organizing Committee.

When Lyman got up early this morning to go to the Film Palace venue, he saw Edmund waiting for him.

Why is it special, because as soon as Lyman appeared, Edmund greeted him enthusiastically.

Lehman asked in surprise, "Are you all okay? How come you have time to come to me?"

Edmund shook his head, "There are 21 shortlisted films, it will definitely take a long time to debate, and also refer to the opinions of the audience, it is useless to be anxious. By the way, the long-prepared films you mentioned that day have specific plans. Yet?"

Okay, it's for this.

In fact, the old man was bored, so he caught Laiman, an interested junior, to pass the time and satisfy his curiosity.

——Only 30 years old, to achieve such a result, I am not curious that it is fake.

Looking at the old man's scrutiny eyes, Layman said, "What about this side? I still have a task to do."

Edmund smiled and said, "It's okay, what's the point of delaying the day, let's go, let's go see your new movie first. To be honest, I'm still looking forward to it."

The members of the Cannes Organizing Committee took the lead in arguing. What else could Lehmann say?

Anyway, he has been very troublesome to communicate these days.

Originally, it took a lot of time to watch the film review, and it was really tedious to have to communicate with all kinds of people.

——It’s normal to be in a bad mood after watching too many bad movies.

According to Lehmann, most of the works in it are not available for theaters. waste.

And he doesn't need to rely on the non-competition unit to make his name, and he is not a newcomer or an older generation of filmmakers who use this channel to push works. Wouldn't it be better for him to go directly to the main competition and use his movie reputation to earn prestige?

The two went back by the way, and it was just over ten minutes away.

Entering the study, Edmund looked around with a peculiar nature.

——The area is not large, but the layout is very organized. There is a large writing board next to the wall.

Walking in again, there were several concept drawings of the movie drawn on the writing board, with the character setting and branch line design next to it, plus a stack of draft script, this new work can be roughly gradually clear in my mind.

This is a story about two men.

A rich, highly educated, living a noble life, but accidentally caused a high paraplegia due to a skydiving accident;

A rude, idle poor man who can only live on bailouts.

Very clever class setting.

Two people represent two circles and two lives.

After reading the script, Edmund also had a deeper understanding of the title "Untouchable".

——There is really no such thing as empathy in this world.

Can a healthy person experience the pain of being paralyzed in bed?

Can rich people understand the difficulty of making a living everywhere?

Can a carefree person understand what a person with delicate emotions thinks?

This movie just tells the stubbornness of a paraplegic who doesn't like the pity of others and doesn't want to be sympathized with, and the running-in of two people with huge differences who live completely different lives.

A work of many thoughts in laughter.

A very terrifying French local bridge, a light comedy film full of French jokes.

Edmund praised: "Ryman, how did you come up with this setting?"

While asking, he continued to focus on the scene storyboard on the tablet.

"It's actually an autobiography," Lehmann said. "It's based on Filippo Pozzo di Borgo's 'Second Breath.' This true story was made into a documentary the year before, and I After seeing this documentary, I had the idea to adapt it into a feature film..."

This statement is half true.

The story is indeed an autobiographical adaptation, but when Lehmann first arrived in Cannes a few days ago, he took the initiative to call and contact Philip, who was in Essaouira, Morocco, to get the filming rights.

As for that documentary, it was actually not well done. It was too trivial and had no context.

Moreover, the original film was only released in 2008 by the two directors. After raising funds, it was released in 2011. There was no copyright dispute.
