Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter 627 Cannes Judges



This is a nice word to say, but there is a lot of sympathy, or a lot of dissatisfaction?

Are there more winners, or more people who don't?

It would be nice not to be pointed at the nose and scolded, Lehmann said angrily: The director is disrespectful, who would like to obey only one person? If I were the only judge, I would accept it, but with so many people voting together, I consciously couldn't convince me. Others also support the movie I like. If it doesn't work, why waste time, and my own movie needs such an opportunity. Don't go, don't go.

On the other end of the phone, Luc Besson felt helpless. He was entrusted by several seniors who met in the organizing committee, and swore to invite him to the Lehmann platform - not only the director needs fame, but the film festival also needs the participation of directors with great reputation, otherwise there will be no niche film festival in any area. Baba's invitation to an international director paid a high price to appear in the meeting, and it would make everyone suffer.

Why?

Just for the reputation of those directors, going there will definitely give the film festival a face and gold. Just think about it, if a film festival does not have any famous filmmakers willing to participate, who will recognize the authority and impartiality of the selection?

If you can't be recognized, it's just arrogance.

And Lehmann is now considered an authority in the film field. In terms of image, he is like the famous public known with a lot of titles that was very bluffing before.

Looking at the titles, the Palme d'Or winner, the Oscar winner for the best foreign language statuette, and the world-renowned box office grossing film that has exceeded 700 million, not to mention several best actors and actresses, isn't that a well-known member of the movie?

If not, the threshold for public recognition of this movie is really high - obviously impossible.

Luc Besson thought about it, and then gave a compromise plan - anyway, inviting people to be judges is the first task.

If you want to let Lehmann serve as the jury of the non-competition unit, you will not refuse it.

Well, the Cannes Film Festival is divided into the main competition unit and the non-competition unit. The latter includes the director's fortnight, short film competition, film cornerstone, etc., all of which are mainly to promote newcomers. It is not too formal, so there is no need to Lehmann showed up and attracted attention.

At this point, what else could Lehman say, so he had to agree, but he also understood that he did not have so much time to be responsible for the preliminary selection work, and he also clearly stated that he would not have much time to spend on it.

Luc Besson agreed.

When this matter was settled, Lehmann had some inexplicable expectations in his heart.

In his opinion, it is indeed as Eva said, it will be very proud, with a sense of satisfaction and vanity.

Lehmann also doesn't think he's competent enough to be elected to the judges.

As a double soul, deeply imprinted by the original owner's memory, although Lehmann sometimes has a cynical heart and despises many French literary films, he is unavoidably infected by mainstream values. He still hopes that French films can become better.

Otherwise why did he spend so much energy on making more in-depth films?

On the one hand, this is actually a means of making a name for itself, which can improve the director's qualifications; on the other hand, it is not to satisfy the purer production concept of his own filmmakers, and he wants to support such themes in his bones, so as not to let literary and artistic thinking be influenced by his own. The company completely disappeared, and everyone played business together.

No matter how you question it, the Cannes Film Festival is a first-class international film festival and the pride of French cinema.

You know, the higher the status, the farther you can see.

So his hesitation was because he was worried about being scolded and conflicting with his own interests - he was really a judge of the organizer, and he had the nerve to award the award to his own company's work? Don't really have a face.

People still have to cherish their own face when they are alive.

And switching to a less visible non-competition unit would be much more acceptable to Lehmann.

There are not many words in this regard, anyway, Lehman's psychological journey is like this.

Hanging up the phone, Lehman lost the nature to complete the great harmony of his life. Instead, he put on a coat and went to the study to write the outline of the script.

The script he wants to give to Sofia is a sci-fi love movie that takes place in the future but is essentially a literary-oriented love movie.

To sum it up in one sentence, Do you want a lover who is made just for you?

Love can always make people interpret different flavors, but for some people, love is too heavy, too heavy to accept that their life has been changed, do not want to feel bound and depressed because of commitments, do not want to worry about not being able to satisfy their lover The request made, always being able to feel the beauty of love without burden is what they need.

Is there such a love in this world? No compromise, no tolerance, no change...

Fantasy shines into reality. In the future, there will be a girlfriend generated by an artificial intelligence operating system to give the most spatial love in all aspects, and the story starts from such a human-machine love.

In fact, there are quite a few similar movies depicting artificial intelligence.

Machine Butler, I, Robot, Robot Story, Robocop... For artificial intelligence, including directors, there are always many ideas born, some are becoming reality, others have not yet .

The script chosen by Lehman is the work She written and directed by Spike-Jones in 2014, also known as Untouchable Her and Cloud Lover.

It tells the story of the male protagonist, Theodore, as a writer, the most common thing to do is to write love letters for people who are not good at expressing emotions. His love words are touching, but they are just for others. His own life is still a mess.

After divorcing his ex-wife, he was always inexplicably lonely, melancholy, and lonely, which is consistent with the tone in Lost in Translation.

Sophia is especially good at such delicate emotional expression, even if it is all trivial scenes, there is no earth-moving plot line, but the love movies directed by her always feel very comfortable.

Confusion and loneliness are the two themes in her films, and it happens that She fits them all.

The subject matter is suitable, the investment is not high, and it will not take the great risk of failure, and it can achieve both fame and fortune. Is there a more suitable work for Sophia than this?

What's more, the movie Ryman couldn't make, and his style couldn't play with this delicate, feminine fantasy-like love.

But, Sophia can.

Lehman carefully described the story background and character settings of the script, and Sophia supplemented the rest of the details. He couldn't write the flashy literary style.

Silent all night.

The next day, Lyman went to Sophia with the script.

——Not the manor last time, Sophia rented an apartment outside.

In the living room, Sophia and Lehman sat opposite each other, flipping through the script in her hand.

The more she looked, the more satisfied she became. Just as Lehmann speculated to her, she really liked very delicate emotional expressions.

The charm of Theodore and Samantha's relationship lies in the fact that no one knows the future. Their love is not as close as ordinary lovers. Although they get along day and night, they are separated by an untouchable network.

But it is precisely because of this that Theodore doesn't have to take real responsibility, and he doesn't have to worry about the possibility of the future. What he is afraid of is the contradiction between two people in real life due to various reasons.

That kind of quarrel was something Theodore tried to avoid.

But is this romance perfect?

——Too perfect but lost its humanity.

Samantha's love for Theodore is more like a person's accommodation to the pets around him.

Because it is virtual, it is artificial intelligence, it is an edited program, and the disparity of species determines the basis of emotional rupture.

There is no love without pain in this world, everyone has their own shape, in order to love someone, revealing their shape to the other party, for the other party to change the original shape more or less unconsciously, this The process cannot be smooth, so there must be pain. But this pain will make love more bright and firm.

Sophia loves this theme.

She accepted the script and said to Laiman, I need some time to continue polishing. When I finish the script, I will come back to you.

Lehmann is insane.

If Sophia didn't understand the story and fill it with her own thoughts, this movie might not be able to be made very well.

Anyway, the fat water does not flow to outsiders, and the Coppola family can become an ally of the Firefly. Sophia is not a director who is ignorant and only flattering. Although his father has helped her a lot, he really can't help her.

Lyman is still quite willing to pull it.
