Chapter 1020 Accept or Not?
“Cannes Film Festival?”

When Zhao Qiang heard what Li Mu said, he clapped his hands.

"This is a good thing, Director Li!"

Li Mu originally picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but he didn't expect Zhao Qiang to react so strongly.

"Director Li, this is your first time to work on such a large-scale event, so you may not be very clear. In fact, most of the time in the early stage is allocated freely by you. Just like Director Zhang Yi, who directed a large-scale event and also went to shoot a movie in the middle.

There is an executive director here to execute and ensure that the project does not fall behind schedule, but frequent reporting is necessary. Only in the later stages can it be called long-term monitoring, after all, there will be more and more temporary adjustments later."

Zhao Qiang smiled and said, "And if you, Director Li, go to Cannes, it will not only be a personal honor, but it will also enhance the international influence of the entire project team. It is definitely good news for our Hangzhou Asian Games. You know more about this than I do."

Li Mu burst into laughter when he heard this. Of course he knew what Zhao Qiang meant.

The chairman of the jury in Cannes is an honor that is very rare in the country.

Because looking back, it was only in 2006 that Wong Kar-wai served as the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival jury.

Moreover, this is the 75th anniversary of Cannes, and the jury presidents in such years are extraordinary.

This is undoubtedly a great benefit for the Hangzhou Asian Games, because it means that the exposure will be further improved. Secondly, it proves that choosing Li Mu as the chief director was a very far-sighted choice.

At night, the soft lights reflected on the surface of West Lake, making the water sparkle like a layer of tiny stars.

In the distance, Baochu Pagoda, covered by moonlight, looks like a sharp sword pointing to the sky, solemn and quiet.

Li Mu sat on the sofa by the window in the hotel room, holding his mobile phone in one hand and a teacup in the other. Outside the window was a sea of ​​twinkling lights.

After the mobile video call was connected, Liu Yifei's face with a warm smile appeared on the screen.

"How's it going? How busy are you at work?"

"It's okay. I'm used to it. Practice makes perfect." Li Mu couldn't help but smile.

"By the way, I'm going to Cannes in May."

"Yeah!" Liu Yifei nodded, seemingly unresponsive, and then looked at Li Mu with her big eyes, "Ah, what are you going to Cannes for?"

"What do you think?" Looking at Liu Yifei's cute look, Li Mu smiled even more.

"Huh? Chairman of the jury?" Liu Yifei was not stupid. She immediately thought of another thing. After all, since there were no films participating in the exhibition, she could only be a judge.

"Ok!"

"Is it confirmed?"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation. After all, Cannes still has a very high status in the hearts of filmmakers around the world.

And she is the Cannes Film Festival winner, so naturally she has some affection for this place.

"Not yet. I haven't replied to the message yet."

"Why don't you come back soon?"

"Just come back tomorrow. The cooked duck can't escape."

Before Li Mu makes a reply, Fumao will definitely not contact others casually. Of course, the reply must be within the specified time. Otherwise, if Li Mu keeps dragging it out and finally stands him up, wouldn't they have to find someone at the last minute?

"Wait a moment, I'm going to reply to the work information." At this moment, a message popped up on Li Mu's computer, and Li Mu immediately said.

When Liu Yifei saw Li Mu disappear from the video, she called Xiao Baozi over and the two seemed to be whispering for a long time.

When Li Mu came back, he saw the little bun's head appear in the camera, holding a doll. The moment he saw Li Mu, he excitedly shouted: "Dad! Mom said you are going to Cannes! Are there bear biscuits in Cannes?"

Li Mu was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing, "Yes! I'll bring you a whole box when the time comes!"

"Yeah! Congratulations, Dad!" The little boy clapped his hands and ran away quickly, leaving Liu Yife shaking her head helplessly.

"This girl is really cunning. I wanted her to congratulate you, but she made a request instead."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Go to bed early." Liu Yifei said softly, "Remember to reply to Cannes tomorrow."

Li Mu nodded.

The next day, Li Mu took some time to reply to Cannes, and Fu Mao also said that the list of members would be announced in the next few days.

However, the team members learned the news earlier than the outside world. After all, when working together, there is no need to hide many things, and they also have to make some preparations in advance.

"I'm so envious, Director Li!" Gao Yan couldn't help but say enviously.

“You can try movies!”

"Forget it, I just don't have the talent. I'm OK with large-scale events, cultural performances, ballets, musicals, touring performances, etc., but I'm far from being good enough for movies." Gao Yan couldn't help but shake her head.

"If I had known earlier that I would have entered the film industry, I might have won one or two awards." Meng Ke also joked, "Speaking of which, our domestic film industry is in for a treat this time."

"You guys have a great idea, but it's not that easy." Deputy Director Cui Wei laughed, "The whole world is watching the Cannes Film Festival!"

"By the way, those ten days in May are up to you." Li Mu started to arrange things for these ten days. After all, he was in Cannes. Although he could also communicate online, it was definitely not as convenient as in Hangzhou or the capital.

"Don't worry, Director Li. There won't be much to do in May. They are all execution issues. Director Cui and I will contact you if there are any problems." Meng Ke said immediately after hearing this.

On the other side, Sha Xiaolan and others expressed their congratulations.

"Congratulations Director Li!"

"It will be hard for our project team to avoid attention now."

"."

“The jury lineup for the main competition unit of the 2022th Cannes Film Festival in 75 has been officially released, led by Chinese director Li Mu as the chairman of the jury;

Rebecca Hall, Noomi Rapace, Jeff Nichols, Asghar Farhadi, Deepika Padukone, Jasmine Trika, Raj Lee, Joachim Trier and other 8 people form the jury! "

"Cannes officially announced that Li Mu was invited to serve as the chairman of the Cannes jury, and Zhang Ziyi was invited to serve as a judge for the 2022 Cannes XR Immersive Imaging Unit. This is another highlight moment for the Chinese film industry!"

"Thierry Frémaux, General Delegate and Artistic Director of the 75th Cannes Film Festival, confirmed: Li Mu resonates with the international film community."

"."

As the news was announced, the domestic Internet exploded.

"Fuck! Li Mu is going to Cannes again. This time he finally doesn't refuse the three major film festivals? Snickering."

"It's the 75th anniversary of Cannes and we are still the president of the jury. That's awesome!"

"What's the big deal? He refused last time. With his resume, I guessed this day would come. It's normal."

"."

The internet was quite lively, and Li Mu also received many congratulatory messages, but Zhang Ziyi felt quite unhappy at the moment.
