Chapter 649： king of sunglasses

The process of film festivals is very similar.

Moreover, most of the guests who participated in the opening ceremony were hungry and finished the venue, so of course the organizers have to express something.

In the banquet hall not far from the venue, Layman rubbed his old waist, which was a little sore, and took some cakes and handed them to Eva.

After eating, drinking, and feeling almost the same, the scene turned into a polite communication.

At this moment, Edmund, who was outside the door, walked towards Laiman and greeted him with a smile, "Laiman, I'll take you to meet someone."

"What?" Lyman hadn't come out of the relaxed state of eating for a while, and then he realized that Edmund was talking to him and nodded in agreement.

But Edmund looked at Eva again, and Lyman patted his head and quickly said a few words to Eva before following up alone.

She must be inconvenient, especially about deals and PR.

Although Edmund is quite old, his actions are still very neat. Some time ago, in addition to helping Lehmann advance the preparations for "Untouchable", he also did not forget the film festival awards.

So, this meeting is also an active matchmaking, allowing Leman to get to know some very important people.

Edmund looked at Lehmann and smiled: "You must know one of the jury members this year. He has a very good reputation in the industry."

"Can I know who it is?"

"Jiawei-Wang." Edmund stopped, turned around, suddenly thought of something, and withdrew his smile, "It stands to reason that the organizing committee should not be able to greatly interfere in the selection process, that is a disgrace to the judges. Respect, but sometimes everyone has concerns... well, you understand anyway, it's just an exchange..."

Lehmann was a little puzzled, "He..."

"He's a smart man, so he won't suffer anyhow."

"Well, well, I see."

Although Lehman was still a little puzzled, he must not lose his courtesy.

......

Wang Jiawei, also known as the King of Sunglasses, loves to wear a pair of sunglasses to pretend.

Mingming was born as a screenwriter, but when he became a director, he didn't like to follow the script, play a lot of investors, and cry a lot of actors.

All in all, it's a weird one.

What's even more bizarre is that the films he shoots at will are very popular internationally.

It is one of the rare Chinese regulars at international film festivals.

Not long ago, when the British film critics voted for the "Ten Greatest Directors of the 20th Century", they ranked them ahead of masters such as Akira Kurosawa and Alfred Hitchcock.

A "In the Mood for Love" has captured the love of many female literary youths. The euphemism and softness, less dialogue and more empty scenes, and emotional scenes in the film have seriously affected new directors like Sophia.

It can be said that intentional processing is the best way for the King of Sunglasses.

And this guy's appearance is also very easy to identify - he always wears sunglasses, has a wide face, and can be seen from afar.

As for why Edmund took Lehmann to meet the King of Sunglasses, this guy is not only the main judge of Cannes this year, but also because he has connections in many regional film circles.

For example, Venice also likes to ask him to pretend. Oh no, reviews.

Since the 1990s, this fellow has grown into a very important leader among international directors, but now the decline of Hong Kong Films and the rise of the mainland market, the King of Sunglasses has gradually reduced film production, and his activity has plummeted. The way of the judges swayed everywhere.

In short, this product is still very chic, but it is popular in the circle without taking pictures.

This can be considered the foundation of a career as a director. If an actor stops acting and fails to achieve results, it is estimated that he would retire early.

But if the director has a high level of qualifications, he is definitely still a figurehead.

Of course, the identities of the two are not considered high or low, especially in terms of the relationship between the film festival.

If comparing the box office, Lehmann is of course crushing it, but unfortunately, film festivals rarely compare the box office - can filmmakers be measured by money? vulgar. However, Hollywood is not so unified.

It is precisely because of this that the two are able to meet and chat with each other interestingly.

And every time Lehmann sees this product in the photo or on the spot, he feels very happy.

Go up to the second floor with Edmund.

As soon as Laiman saw the King of Sunglasses, he immediately said politely, "I hear your name often, and I don't want to meet him today." - Although Laiman wanted to laugh when he saw his face, he still held back. Etiquette cannot be lost.

After hearing this, the King of Sunglasses showed a smile on his face. This smile made his eyes look smaller and more joyful. "Haha, you're welcome, I've heard your name often." - During the conversation, it was very natural and soft. Hold Lyman's outstretched hand.

Of course, this is just a kind gesture.

The King of Sunglasses often hangs out in various countries, and he understands many manners of politeness. Even if it is a face-to-face gift, this guy is adaptable.

However, let's forget about the two big men. They are so kind, even Lehmann is a little hairy.

"Come on, let's sit inside—" The King of Sunglasses calmly pulled out his hand and continued to greet him very normally.

After introducing the two of them, Edmund smiled and said, "By the way, the jury has tried internally in the past few days to see if they have come to any conclusions. After a few more days, we need to come up with a result first. ."

"Don't worry, don't worry." The King of Sunglasses smiled and nodded, "There will definitely be an answer in a few days. Of course, "No Country for Old Men" directed by Lehmann is naturally excellent, and I personally like it..." ——Damn, the organizing committee sells favors, but asks me to pay for the endorsement, this is not to do.

The King of Sunglasses was gloomy.

Being such a chief judge, there are many senior filmmakers who are bigger than him, so no matter how you criticize it, it is extremely untenable.

"That's good. Haha." Edmund gave Lyman a look.

So, Lyman also began to tout it.

You have made a lot of money after watching "Chongqing Forest" and "In the Mood for Love", so good words such as admiration should naturally be praised.

Since you have something to ask for, of course you have to be more enthusiastic.

Of course, the King of Sunglasses has heard a lot of polite remarks these days. Which one doesn't want him to be the one who offends people with awards in mind.

So, he immediately praised: "After watching "No Country for Old Men", I was deeply touched and very happy. Well, on the day of the screening, I will definitely support it again and invite some friends to join."

"Haha, I'm so troublesome," Edmund said.

"Where, are you all directors?"

Lehmann couldn't shirk, so he could only thank him with satisfaction.

Film festivals are like that.

Find an acquaintance to find a way.

You help me to support the show, I will help you stand off the stage, or you owe a favor, everyone knows that it is just a transaction, but it is covered with a filmmaker's coat.

After all, whether or not a movie can win an award depends on the audience's opinion. At most, it is a reference.

And the organizing committee and the jury can have a relationship, thanks to Lehmann's film career growing stronger and more willing to help.

Later, the King of Sunglasses also deliberately talked about films that were not in the main competition unit, revealing some of his thoughts.

For example, two or three works in the shortlist, I hope they will be taken care of.

At this point, he can also take care of the favors that come to him behind him.

Speaking of which, everyone plays like this.

When they owe each other's favor or exchange of interests, isn't that how they build up a network of relationships step by step?

Flower sedan chairs are carried by everyone That's all.

Lehmann thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Those films are just what I think are good, of course they need to be shown more." - It seems that the number of films will need to be changed a little bit.

Lehmann put on an attitude that he had already done, which was extremely refreshing.

The King of Sunglasses "hehe" laughed dryly, thinking to himself, this person is also interesting, do you understand? Pretend to be like.

However, the King of Sunglasses is also a good hand in human relationships, so he didn't reveal it, so he had to change the topic and continue chatting.

After the transaction is completed, of course, a few polite words are needed. Rewards cannot be lost.

Lyman smiled and pretended to be full of sex, while watching Edmund's constant conversation.

always find it interesting.

If it was Oscar, maybe Harvey Weinstein did the same.

In fact, this is the one who has thoroughly figured out the rules. After all, the judges always hope to gain benefits, respect, and fame from such selections.

And Harvey is smart because he is smart. With his Jewish blood, after breaking into the circle, he actively caters to him, and he won't do too much, so he can achieve that kind of scenery.

Lehmann couldn't help thinking to himself...
