Chapter 1017： public, private

"I don't want to take the lead judge's position."

In a quiet corner, Ryman shook his head and said apologetically to a 50-year-old senior, Volod.

"Clang", hearing the rejection, the person representing the Cannes Organizing Committee + Cannes City Hall couldn't help but tremble, and the wine glass suddenly fell on the lawn.

Of course, it's not that they didn't speculate on this result, but they thought in private that they would agree to it in the past.

It's a pity that Lehmann, who feels that things are complicated, doesn't want to spend so much time on the preparation of a film festival.

To put it selfishly, even if the 64th session next year is better, what good will it be for him and his company? +

Trading window? Have it already.

Palme d'Or? It wasn't something he was guaranteed to get, and he didn't need it himself.

With his current achievements, other than managing the company, building new projects, and preparing to go higher, nothing else matters.

Seeing that Lehman's refusal didn't seem like a fake, Volod thought that the candidate who had spent so much thought on them would be abandoned, and after a slight rudeness, he immediately tried again: "We really need a director that everyone likes to attend. , as long as you are willing to come, you can say anything."

The anticipation in his eyes has not diminished at all, but it seems that he is a bad person, and Lehman still shook his head, "I know the process, if I join, there will be too many things, but it is far from attending those few days. Kung Fu. I'd like to do something for it, but I really don't want to bother."

Sure enough, after a similar answer, Volod finally stopped speaking, and the momentum of the whole person was a little decadent.

But he also understands Ryman's decision, and running a production company itself needs to be considered from the company's perspective. Not alone.

"It doesn't matter." Wolod was about to maintain his bearing on the scene, turned to leave, but heard the other party suddenly say, "However, I can recommend other candidates, I don't know..."

Warlord had already given up, but he didn't expect things to turn around. "Of course, I'd love to hear about it..."

Both were very polite.

After half an hour.

After they parted again, Volod's face was also filled with joy.

......

After the banquet was over, Wallold made a phone call to the Cannes Organizing Committee as soon as he returned home.

"He didn't agree, but he also gave an answer after learning about some of our difficulties."

"Yes, yes, he is willing to contribute."

"Well, he said two things. First, although he doesn't have so much time to review and promote the screening, he will communicate with a few familiar directors and let them join the jury lineup."

"Yes, he'll help ask what Christopher Nolan, Zach Snyder, Gyro and others mean."

"It should be possible, Lehman said. They won't be too busy in the first half of next year. At least, on his side, they haven't seen any shooting records."

"Also, another thing is about supporting the young director fund. Lehman also wants to find a way to give back to some young directors, so he is willing to give special shooting funds in the name of Firefly. Yes, if the plan can be implemented, that is to let We are looking for some outstanding young directors from a third party and give them various financial support. With the film festival, there will be 2 places per year, with a total of 10 million US dollars.”

"He didn't say it, but he hinted that he wanted to support directors with real potential and help them enter the industry through this platform."

"I think it's not bad, it's for the good of the industry anyway. Isn't there someone who always complains that there is no fresh blood and lack of vitality? This is also a way."

......

For Lehmann, it is definitely something to do to the Cannes Organizing Committee and even the local city hall.

Even if he can't tell the energy, Mann Media is always on the rise. It is relatively simple to promote some acting stars and increase exposure, but it is not as public as the latter special fund.

After that, he and Ryan stayed in Cannes for another day before returning to Los Angeles.

It's nearly the last week of August, and "Despicable Me" has slipped further. While the influence of the film in the box office market has declined, the extent of the reduction in the licensing market is also not small.

However, by this time period, "Despicable Me" has already returned to the original and profitable, and Lehman is actually not too concerned about the follow-up trend. Except for the occasional curve situation, he began to plan for the later schedule.

It's just those that have already been arranged. On the Blue Butterfly side, Liam led the team to preside over the situation, and the pre-promotion of "Gone Lover" has also been launched one after another, so what Lehman has to do is not to wave the flag and boost the momentum. Instead, do something about his production department.

For example, push "Super Body" to start as soon as possible, for example, "Pacific Rim".

For the former, he had to wait for Luc Besson to prepare his own team, while for the latter, Lehmann wanted to wait until late September to personally go to the mainland to follow up on the actions there.

After all, in terms of the level of concern, the "Pacific Rim" project is almost related to the beginning of the entire monster universe. What will China Film, Huayi and other high-level executives do, and what specific screening regulations will they come up with Because they are outsiders For this reason, there are more variables.

Of course, the gyro has been completed since mid-July, and the first cut has been completed. It has been stationed in the digital field and has been in control of the process of special effects shots. According to his own report, he still completed the task relatively well.

In a word, under the premise that the quality is assured, the difficulty of going out will only become one of the resources for publicity and distribution, and at that time, it will also be the time to see the sincerity of mainland film companies such as China Film.

Looking back, another day, Scarlett joined the group for special training in advance under the leadership of her agent.

By the way, in the "Super Body" project, her salary is still not high, although in terms of role, it must be more than the salary of playing Black Widow, but she only took 3 million.

This is not because Firefly deliberately lowered the price, but because of the custom character. Scarlett herself felt that Lyman was very special to her, and she was a little grateful. When she got the script before, she also expressed her gratitude through Sophia.

You must know that this project was made by the employer first, and the decision was made directly. Under the circumstance that the employer took the lead in showing sincerity and the project seemed to be reliable, Scarlett's agent did not have the confidence to call for a high price.

Even they themselves feel that they should get a minimum salary that is slightly in line with their worth - after all, the big heroine has a lot of appearances in the whole film, and the rest will be re-appreciated after the movie is released.

There is a saying that the employer pays the money and takes the risk, and the labor uses the name and energy, and everyone pays together. Very simple logic.

You can also say that the "Super Body" project is part of the long-term contract of the role of Black Widow. It may be easier to understand this way.

Another day, Luc Besson also came from France...
