I want to make headlines

Chapter 559 Discussion
A self-recommendation phone call from China was a bit unexpected to Gan Jing. This attitude alone is good, but the selection of actors should be based on multiple factors.

Although A-Gump Studio is not very strong so far, but with a great god sitting in the town, it will naturally have a halo shining on it. Gan Jing was not surprised after expecting it. Most of the film and television circles are people who can seize the opportunity .

"Zhang Yi, I haven't set up a project for this book yet, so I just mentioned it to Baoyu casually. In this way, I have saved your number, and you can send me your recent personal information." Gan Jing said calmly.

"Okay, Mr. Gan, my schedule has been kept." Zhang Yi's attitude is still very good.

Gan Jing hung up the phone, ate supper for a while and felt full, then picked up his phone and sent Lao Chen a text message, asking him to collect some information about this actor for himself. Personal and third-party inspections are obvious. is different.

Gan Jing is not familiar with Zhang Yi at all, but the script of "Only You" is intended to be used to praise Zhou Dongyu, so he doesn't plan to use a top-level handsome guy, so he thought of such a person.

After the opening ceremony of Cannes, the attention of the media dropped a bit, and they only waited for the final awards, but during this period, compared with directors and actors, they had a higher degree of freedom.

From the second day to the final award presentation, these days are the film presentations of different units, and judges like Gan Jing need to intensively discuss the candidate films.

Watching, discussing, and arguing like this is actually quite stressful, but Gan Jing enjoys it. Witnessing films with different ideas, different angles, and different cultures is quite inspiring to him.

Film viewing in Cannes is not compulsory, and industry insiders from all over the world enjoy the selected films either out of interest or within a limited time for missions.

Gan Jing is very popular every time he watches a show. He is the chairman of the jury, so coming to support others can bring some momentum, and momentum can be directly converted into economic benefits.

When I met Wang Baojun the next day, Gan Jing knew that the overseas copyright of "A Touch of Sin" was sold on the night it became the opening film, and the price was quite satisfactory to Jia Zhangke—it would have been impossible without the help of the opening film. .

With visibility comes resources and money to help, which is the same in many places.

On the third day of the Cannes Film Festival, the first meeting of the judges of the main competition unit began. Chairman Gan Jing presided over the meeting, and the other eight judges were divided into two sides.

"According to the original plan, the five films we are discussing today are "Only God Forgives", "Bergman", "Behind the Candlestick", "Adele's Life", and "Straw Shield". Have you all finished watching it?"

Gan Jing glanced around, first confirming the basic situation.

"Ah."

"OK."

"I saw it all."

In an instant, the three languages ​​of Chinese, English and French rang.

Gan Jing coughed. He could understand these languages, but some judges might not be able to understand them. Considering the convenience of communication, he still said: "Everyone can speak English, right? Let's try to make it easier for everyone to communicate. .”

Several judges felt a little surprised, this Forrest Gump is quite careful.

"Do you think any of these five films won the Palme d'Or?" Gan Jing decided to go from top to bottom.

""Adele's Life" is not bad, Leia has a romantic and melancholic temperament." British female director Lynne first mentioned one.

"It's really not bad. The few scenes in the bedroom are very charming. I personally like it very much." Oscar's supporting actor Waltz said with a smile, "This movie has the potential of the Palme d'Or, but I haven't watched the later ones, I don't know. Will there be any surprises?"

"I think "Straw Shield" is well shot. Two policemen protect the murderer from being besieged. The story is very human." Naomi Kawase, a judge from Neon Country, proposed another film.

Gan Jing had watched this film, but he didn't think it was good. He glanced at the reactions of other judges, and said directly: "I think this film is flawed in logic, and the plot is a bit confusing, so there is no need to discuss it. Palme d'Or."

Naomi Kawase raised her head to look in the direction of Gan Jing's chief executive, and said a little excitedly: "No, this film tells everyone that the law is the bottom line and has meaning. When most people think that there is no need for a trial, they still There are police officers who will sacrifice for it."

The judges present here are all characters who have watched many movies, and their achievements are also dazzling. They will not change their minds for a few words, and some of them really have a look of disapproval on their faces.

Gan Jing said plainly: "There is nothing wrong with telling the truth through the film, but the carrier is not good enough. At least, it didn't move or shock me."

Naomi Kawase wanted to say something more, but Gan Jing didn't give it a chance. He looked at the judges who hadn't spoken just now, and asked, "Choose one of these five films as a candidate for the Palme d'Or, what do you think of "Ah?" Does Life of Dale qualify?"

Except for Naomi Kawase, everyone else nodded. This film is indeed quite excellent.

"Then, what we have determined first..." Gan Jing's words were interrupted.

""Straw Shield" explores procedural justice, but not just this theme. The police insist on justice at the cost of their lives. This is the great Bushido spirit of our country, and the ending of the film is particularly shocking." Naomi Kawase A long story.

Gan Jing's eyes were on Kawase Naomi who had already stood up, and when she finished speaking, she spread her hands and said, "But it's not pretty."

"This is a torture of human nature. "Straw Shield" is constantly showing us the bottom line of morality and law. Faced with choices, it is easiest to give up struggling, but..."

"But, it's not good-looking." Gan Jing felt a little helpless, he knew that Naomi Kawase was supporting films from her own country, if he had commented on "A Touch of Sin", he would probably do the same, but he is not from the Neon country.

Naomi Kawase took a deep breath. She is not tall, but she has a very serious expression, and she will do anything for the movie.

"Gan Jun, I think you should watch this film again. Its bushido spirit is worth thinking about for each of us."

Gan Jing frowned, coughed, and said, "Director Naomi Kawase, I didn't quite understand your words. Your English accent is a bit heavy. I suggest you adjust your accent so that you won't have to communicate with everyone later. Not smooth."

Naomi Kawase looked straight at Mr. Gan, her eyes were a little moist, she didn't say anything, and slammed the door away.

Gan Jing didn't show any expression, he was a little allergic to a certain word that the female director of Neon Country said just now.

"Succeed, director Naomi Kawase is probably going to practice his accent. Let's continue discussing the next award, okay?"

Li An blinked: "No problem."

It's easy to do things with your own people.
