Chapter 1016： take advantage

The backyard of the hotel, which was originally a bit cold, was a little more lively than usual because of Lehman's arrival.

All the way from the airport to this point, after only one night of rest, the French film circle represented by Gao Meng paid a courtesy visit again, and it was inevitable to communicate.

Of course, the main thing is the conversation with Luc Besson.

In the corner of the banquet, the two who hadn't seen each other for some days were extremely harmonious.

"Have you read the script." Lyman smiled. "It's actually a very simple story."

"Well." Luc Besson nodded. "Just in terms of plot direction, there is nothing complicated. However, I think this is going to Hong Kong Island to shoot the scene?"

"Is it wrong?"

"I want to hear your plan for this arrangement."

"Our company has a cooperation with China Film, and I also want to enter the mainland market for this film."

"Really." Luc Besson was a little surprised, but not really surprised.

French filmmakers know that local protectionism is still very strong, at least neither Europa Films nor Gao Meng, who is now the first in performance and strength, can easily get the introduction index.

Who would have thought that Mann Media still had such a relationship.

And until the end of the banquet, Luc Besson did not talk to Lehmann about the treatment.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and handed it over to the people around them to maintain their old relationship.

......

"Lyman Rust is back."

"I heard that it seems that the organizing committee wants him to be the main judge of the 64th Cannes Film Festival to boost the momentum."

"No wonder it's been so lively these days."

Now that the summer season of movie markets all over the world is coming to an end, even the movie theaters are a little deserted. The theater line managers have not had so many arrangements for the time being, but they are also paying full attention to the news of the Cannes film circle.

You must know that Lehmann's reputation is not low in France, and it is even more famous in Cannes and his hometown. Here, as long as his movies, his deeds have been reported many times, and it is even said that France is set up in Hollywood. The biggest banner of filmmakers is fascinating.

Moreover, the exclusive movie, the audience is not satisfied.

On such a basis, when Lehmann returned from Paris to Cannes and was greeted, it was really lively, and there were banquet invitations almost every moment.

Of course, Lehmann himself is also cheerful and friendly, and when he meets older filmmakers who are older than him, he is equally polite.

"Lehmann, there is a promise. Gaumont and Europa jointly hold the local distribution rights of "Super Body", and Luc Besson personally takes 5 million basic salary and 10% of the box office in North America. Divided into, and the publicity expenses are evenly apportioned." Ryan leaned over and said.

"Have you told me the estimated start time? Is there any problem with the schedule?"

"They have no plans to produce films in the next few months, it doesn't matter at all."

There was one more sentence that Ryan didn't say. Compared with Mann Media's hard power and financial reserves in the circle, Europa is incomparable, and Luc Besson can't sit in the same position as Lehmann to play games. He knows when he sees Europa director Pierre Ainge. Yes, the attitude of people is very enthusiastic.

"There's nothing to say about the conditions, it's alright, just do it." Layman looked at someone with champagne, turned around and politely, clinking glasses to drink.

When this person left, Leiman was still fine, Ryan couldn't help but said, "There's no need to be too polite to these people, we didn't have much contact with them."

"Just have a drink, I won't promise anything easily."

Where there are people, there are circles.

Cannes and even the entire French film circle have always had a somewhat different attitude towards Mann Media. Some of them are a network of vested interests. They have all made money directly or indirectly from Lehmann, so they are friendly; and how many people can a film company attract Well, among the local filmmakers who did not catch the ride of Mann Media, there may be some people who are dissatisfied and jealous in words.

Of course, Lehmann can pretend not to know, but in fact he doesn't want to deepen this separation, so he tries his best to do his best.

However, when the banquet was about to end, there was a troublesome thing that could not be avoided.

......

When Lehmann came over this time, he knew more or less what the Cannes Organizing Committee and Cannes City Hall had in mind.

Again, a film festival can gild its entertainers, but someone has to gild it.

In fact, it's normal. You are an international film window platform, and you can't even invite a few big names. Isn't that the jury of that session too cheap?

And the jury has dropped the price and the qualifications are not enough, how to attract those popular actors or good works to participate in the selection?

This May this year, it is obvious that some stars are bleak, and even the relevant press releases can't provoke splashes, and the attention is sluggish.

No, it has to be corrected if there is a problem.

In addition to the decision made by the members of the jury, what else can they use to attract the attention of filmmakers and tourists from all over the world?

This is almost the only way to go.

From this, two questions arise: Why does Cannes have a direct line of directors? Why is Cannes so close to Chinese movies?

In fact, the essence of the answer is very similar, because the Cannes Organizing Committee also needs to use the director's own personal connections to fill their guest lineup and even the movie list.

You can find that after the establishment of each jury, basically the people in it will help to maintain the opening screening of the current session, and the potential of the Chinese-speaking region is unquestionable, then the production volume of a large place is not ordinary. Comparable.

So, it is not surprising that the Cannes Organizing Committee will find Lehmann.

First, he is the direct descendant of the direct line, and once elected, he will definitely be more willing to contribute than the average person;

Second, who doesn't know that he is doing well in Hollywood, if nothing else, just say hello, those big-name actors who have worked with him take time to play, it doesn't matter, or it can attract a lot of Hollywood stars in Therefore, even the surrounding billboards and participating movies have some weight.

You know, compared to other regions, Hollywood really doesn't really care about the Cannes Film Festival. Many times, people just play it themselves. After all, the Oscars are more influential, so there is no need to put the efforts of the awards public relations in Cannes. .

With this, Hollywood has reason not to leave.

Of course, they didn't know that Lehmann is now connected to China Film, the official organization of the Chinese film industry, otherwise the motivation for this invitation might be more sufficient.

They have contacted Chinese filmmakers many times, aren't they also taking advantage of the situation?

Anyway, what the Cannes Organizing Committee wants is enough gimmicks, gold content, exposure, and even the quality of the film source, and Lehmann can provide these. In other words, with the status of Mann Media at this time, as long as he gets through, part of the Hollywood entertainment circle and part of the Chinese film circle will be settled, and there is no need to bother them to bury their heads and sigh, but they don't know where to do it.

Unfortunately......
