I want to make headlines

Chapter 557

Gan Jing was thinking about what the British female director Lynn had just said about watching the shortlisted film "Drunken Country Blues", but suddenly felt that the eyes of the people around him were different, so he looked back and saw that there are still domestic news in the past few days. Jia Zhangke mentioned.

With the development of the Internet, news always has to fly for a while before watching it, and the movie talk between Jia Zhangke and Forrest Gump is also the same.

The words of "I don't understand movies" and "Cannes is waiting for you" have sparked enthusiasm in the media, but unlike the tabloids that attract traffic, some big newspapers still have to hide their shame and get rid of the root cause if there is no conflict of interest.

What's more, the two parties are not reckless, so they won't be provoked by some tricks.

Jia Zhangke walked towards A-Gump, and Gan Jing took two steps forward to greet him.

"Thank you, Forrest Gump." Jia Zhangke's hair is not long, and the most impressive thing at first glance is his round and downturned eyebrows.

"Director Jia is being polite." Gan Jing knew it was probably because of the opening film.

"The opening film is really bothering you." Jia Zhangke spoke very politely, but it was because of this matter.

Gan Jing was a little surprised by the senior's words and attitude. He secretly thought that it might be because more people were banned, and people became peaceful. In his conception, this group of people should be sharp.

Well, Jia Zhangke really can't see the sharpness if he just judges people by their appearance.

"It should be. China is now the second largest box office market in the world. Correspondingly, I think Chinese-language films have not gained the status and voice they deserve internationally."

Gan Jing didn't just say this to Jia Zhangke, he also politely told the surrounding judges in English.

There were six judges standing beside him at the moment, most of them smiled noncommittally, and only Oscar's Best Supporting Actor Waltz nodded.

Gan Jing paid attention to this detail, and blinked at Jia Zhangke: "There is one thing, I watched "A Touch of Sin". Director Jia, can your film pass the review?"

Jia Zhangke immediately replied, "This film has already passed the review."

"Passed the trial?" Gan Jing said strangely, "I didn't see the dragon mark."

"To be precise, it's close to passing the review. The leader of the radio and television said it's okay." Jia Zhangke smiled happily when he said this, but then added, "I need to delete and modify some pictures. I'm preparing for this."

Looking at the smile on the director's face, Gan Jing recalled the content of the movies he had seen, and felt that his smile was a little naive, but if he wasn't naive, he might not be able to persist in making underground movies for so many years.

"That's good. I hope that more people will pay attention to Chinese-language films in Cannes." Gan Jing's starting point has always been from this point of view. The right to speak of Chinese-language films is not spoken, but produced.

Up to this point, the leading actors of "A Touch of Sin" came forward to say hello to Gan Jing, especially Wang Baojun and Gan Jing hugged, the two have known each other for a long time, the first time they met was when Gan Jing cameo Wang Baojun helped him take care of the dog during "People on the Journey", but at that time he didn't expect that the second part of this series would have such a box office explosion.

Of course, Wang Baozhen never expected that A-Gump could gain the status of the chairman of the Cannes jury so quickly.

The two chatted a lot more casually. Gan Jing was very curious about Wang Baojun's future plans, and learned that he actually wanted to direct a movie by himself.

Well, this once again revived the idea of ​​being clicked by Li An before, but it was still not too strong.

Before the members of this wave of crew left, Jia Zhangke expressed his gratitude again: "We must cooperate in the future if we have the opportunity."

Gan Jing just wanted to be polite, when suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "Director Jia, I have a film in my hand that needs a director. It's a literary romance film. I wonder if you're interested?"

What does it mean to hit a snake with a stick?
This is called hitting a snake with a stick!

Jia Zhangke was really taken aback for a moment, and then he said happily: "There is a schedule for this film, but the promotion of the domestic release has forced me to run by myself. I'm afraid I have to wait. If I have this time, it will be fine." Opening of Cannes It's an unusual honor for a movie.

Gan Jing smiled and said: "The film in my hand is not in a hurry. Then I will give you the notebook later."

"No problem." Jia Zhangke also found it a bit interesting, A-Gump was quite straightforward in his actions and speech.

Forrest Gump didn't make any noise about the opening film before. If we look at it according to ordinary people, I'm afraid he would tell himself beforehand, so that no matter whether he succeeds or not, he will have to get a favor.

As the two sides separated, Gan Jing took advantage of the opportunity to separate from the judges. There were many Chinese faces in today's opening ceremony. As the chairman of the jury, he naturally wanted to meet and say hello one by one.

"Forrest Gump, you have to come and see my film tonight." This was Hua Tsai's appeal for his work that was shortlisted for the Midnight Screening Unit.

"Forrest Gump, there is a chance for us to work together." This is Jackie Chan's pleasant greeting. He is here to have a new film press conference, and Fan Bingbing will collaborate on "Midnight Run".

"Go for a drink or two when you have time." This is Fan Bingbing's invitation. She will walk the red carpet this year as a cosmetics spokesperson, and there will be four receptions and multiple media interviews. It can be said that she is a busy person.

Gan Jing walked among Chinese directors and actors, either praising or praising him, without any stage fright.

Outsiders will think that he is a bit young as the chairman of the jury, but he himself thinks that this position should be the proper status of Chinese-language films-it can't be foreign films that steal money from China while saying that Chinese fans are easy to pocket, right?

There must be recognition and the right to speak, just like the choice of this opening film.

To say that the opening film is quite important, as one of the most valuable global award ceremonies, the opening, closing, and Palme d'Or may be the works that have attracted the most attention from the media.

Because of this, when the Chinese film "A Touch of Sin" was selected as the opening film, many domestic media were excited. There are so many Chinese movie stars in Cannes this year, and there are such prominent works, it is simply the best news subject.

At this moment, many movie fans in China who followed Cannes watched the red carpet, and finally saw Forrest Gump who had been looking forward to in the camera.

In the camera, Forrest Gump did not sit in the auditorium like the others, but was discussing something with the chairman of the film festival, Jacob, on the side of the stage. relation.

Jacob is the chairman of the film festival, and Forrest Gump is the chairman of the jury of the main competition unit. It is the former who invites the latter, and the former is also responsible for the selection of films.

When the audience saw the two serious expressions in the camera, they guessed that they must be discussing the shortlisted films extremely seriously.

however……

Gan Jing: "Have you eaten?"

Jacob: "No. Really hungry."

Gan Jing: "Me too."

The expression is serious and the communication is serious.
