Legendary Hollywood Director

Chapter six hundred and forty-eight levels are strict



May 18 is the official opening day of another Cannes Film Festival.

Speaking of which, there are quite a lot of heavyweight works in the 59th session.

Among the shortlisted 21 main competition films, there are also many international directors, such as Iberian God Pedro Almodovar, British Intellectual Director Ken Lodge and so on.

As for these great directors, it is actually quite difficult to choose.

According to the practice of the original time and space jury, this session is to completely divide the cake, and even the figurines are not needed for balance play.

5 film winners and 6 film queens were judged at one time. The jury, the Palme d'Or and the screenplay award each one. No one was re-elected. What's more, the person who won the Palme d'Or couldn't win the best director, which caused a lot of laughter. .

Oh, by the way, the King of Sunglasses is one of the most skilled judges in this set. As long as it is an international film festival he serves, the basic principle is whoever sees it has a share.

Therefore, this is not his first atmosphere, nor his last atmosphere.

Of course, in fact, the organizing committee is also willing to do this. First, it does not offend anyone, and secondly, there is no need to take the blame. Anyway, the judges of the jury are not used to stand on the bright side.

As for the judges of the jury, if this year and the next one will definitely not be found, they don't want to cause trouble.

Therefore, the organizing committee wanted the jury to calm down the scene, but in fact everyone was very smart.

Originally, this was a place to compete for fame and fortune, and everyone who came here wanted something, which inevitably caused controversy.

It's a pity that I don't even need a fig leaf, it's still pretty ugly.

And this time, with the participation of Lehman, the water was even more muddy.

Although he no longer has any thoughts about the Palme d'Or, he always gets one out of compensation and compensation.

After all, this is also his home court, and he is more or less valued.

——This feeling is not bad, quite a kind of attitude of Harvey Weinstein relying on his Jewish identity to be like a duck to water at the Oscars.

This morning, Lehmann followed the shortlisted creators to take pictures and put on a show under the arrangement of the organizer. At 4 pm, he began to prepare for the admission.

Everything was arranged clearly, and at 5:30, it was the red carpet part.

In Cannes, the hierarchy is still very strict.

What kind of person does what kind of thing, it is clearly distinguished.

For example, the most popular Beautiful Press Cannes in the future generations is actually in the form of rubbing -- basically, before the big celebrities enter the venue, they go up and let the photographer take two pictures with them. Going back is self-praise.

You will find that these photos are basically sideways. If it is the opposite camera, it will be very embarrassing - there is not even a host on both ends of the red carpet, and no one officially enters the venue.

And if you want to know if you are rubbing, just flip through the shortlist and the list of invited guests. This is the news that Cannes will announce in advance. What's more stringent is that even media reporters have press cards with different permissions.

That is to say, interviewing big coffee is not something that any small entertainment reporter can do.

If a certain actress really wants to press the red carpet in Cannes, at least she must be a real guest group and be recognized by the French official newspaper with high sales volume.

Every year, Cannes discloses the red carpet looks of the invited actresses in the form of large-scale photos, which can be regarded as a form of comparison. Self-naming is obviously a deception.

Therefore, the Cannes Film Festival is really not for anyone who is not in the grades. The contacts here should pay attention to circles, equivalence of qualifications, and corresponding connections.

If you don't enter this threshold, you want to give gold to Cannes, but people don't want it.

......

in the waiting area.

Lyman suddenly felt very annoyed and sighed unconsciously.

——Waiting is a very unpleasant thing, especially the arrangement of the organizing committee is too formal, which is a waste of time.

Don't look at everyone on the red carpet, they are all kind and happy, in fact, under the table, the buttocks are sitting stiff.

From the morning to the afternoon, I have been busy with group photos, group photos, individual photos and then interviews. After finishing the work, I dare not eat well, for fear of going to the toilet when I receive the award, which will delay the work and affect the image.

In short, for this kind of appearance, the guests are not feeling well.

Not to mention the fact that in order to determine the screening time in advance, the discussions continued, and Lehman's head hurts.

Think about it, it's finally time to get out of it.

About 10 minutes later, when the last crew finished walking the red carpet, Lehman also started to enter the venue with the main creator.

Signing, flashing lights, matching poses, and then entering into personal communication.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the red carpet ceremony, the venue was quite quiet.

Afterwards, a group of judges gave a serious opening speech, accompanied by a song and dance performance, followed by a grand introduction of the nominated films, and then returned to silence.

Next to Lehmann sat Eva, who arrived in Cannes yesterday.

The two were rather bored waiting for the process to end.

Then came the screening of the opening film.

This year's unveiling film is The Da Vinci Code, directed by Ron Howard, starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou.

Although The Da Vinci Code was not shortlisted for the main competition, Columbia has a lot of money to make a splash in Cannes.

In addition to winning the unveiling ceremony, large posters can be seen everywhere on the streets.

According to the report of the Pioneer, this year's film festival has a very obvious role in promoting the business quota of luxury hotels and hotels around Cannes, which is even higher than last year, and roughly half a month can account for more than 15% of the whole year. The total profit will be doubled for bars and film festivals.

Newspapers estimate that, by the time the festival ends, it will at least bring in more than 150 million euros in revenue to Cannes.

What is a big business? This does not include the handling fees and platform commissions generated by film trading. When trading film copyrights in Cannes, you need to pay contract fees, and the bulk will be taken away by the government and the organizing committee, and the rest will be paid for. Enter the Supporting Film Foundation to give some funding to rookie film directors.

In other words, after such a half-month operation, the total profit of the surrounding supporting industries around the film festival can easily bring in more than 200 million euros.

This is also the reason why the Cannes Film Festival is getting more and more attention - it can promote a large number of tertiary industries such as tourism and service industries, and it can also get a good reputation. Who doesn't want to see Cannes continue to flourish.

Even Hollywood blockbusters are paying more and more attention to the publicity effect brought by this platform. As long as they have an idea to fight for a while in the summer season, most of them come here in advance to advertise.

The Da Vinci Code is a similar product.

Because it was released in 21 regions on the 19th, France is one of the most important markets.

In the original time and space, this suspenseful masterpiece with a cost of 125 million, because of the interference of religious people, not only often gave in during filming, but also was scolded so badly after the filming that the film's producers and Colombian executives had to stand up. It has been publicly stated that the original novel and the film adaptation are very far-fetched and full of heresy.

After all, whoever made this work itself is to a considerable extent expounding the idea of ​​anti-Catholicism.

It can be said that the subject is controversial.

But Ron Howard is worthy of being a blockbuster who is used to making blockbusters. He easily solved the difficulty of being sensitive to the theme, and tried to weaken his religious stance with elements such as brain-burning suspense style and symbol decryption.

In short, the reversal is amazing, and the plot direction will make the audience deeply attracted by the constantly emerging clues, and finally get the answer from Professor Langdon.

In this way, The Da Vinci Code can finally win as much as 750 million box office results around the world, which is enough to prove how many audiences this film is sought after.

Lehman has also seen this movie in his previous life, and as a suspense category, it is undoubtedly the one with better reputation.

It’s a pity that the copyright was captured by Colombia early, and Firefly couldn’t get it either.

However, if you can't get it, you can't get it. There are so many good movies in this world, even if you kill Firefly, you can't eat it.

Other on-site guests, including Eva, saw the film for the first time, and soon followed Professor Langdon into the field of symbolic clues.

Among them, the portrait of Mona Lisa's Smile is an important direction leading to clues.

Of course, this pair is fake, and Ron Howard complained about it.

After the opening ceremony, it is naturally a dinner party...
