"Only You?"

When Ang Lee heard Forrest Gump's words, his expression slowly became a little solemn, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Continue to attack the Oscars?"

"Uh......" Gan Jing shook his head.

Ang Lee realized: "For next year's Cannes?"

"Hmm......" Gan Jing shook his head.

Ang Lee's gaze shifted to Forrest Gump's face: "Do you want to try two other film festivals in Europe?"

Gan Jing was a little shy, he suddenly felt that the request he made just now was a bit insulting to this international director, after all, people are not like they are so nonsense, if they want to be a producer, they should be a producer......

"Ahem, I just want to make a movie for Zhou Dongyu in the studio, the script was personally selected by me, before, um, yes, there was a version in South Korea that had been made in 11 years. ”

Li An swallowed the tea in his mouth, stroked his forehead with his right hand, and looked at Forrest Gump: "Are you kidding?"

"Ahhh Gan Jing felt that he was a little stupid, and it was a bit funny to find an international director to remake a work made by other small directors for himself.

Ang Lee shook his head and was speechless, and said after a while: "Many directors in Hong Kong are good, if you want to shoot faster, find Wang Jing, want to shoot realistically, find Lin Lingdong, and want to shoot gorgeous, then look for Liu Weiqiang." ”

These are all famous directors in Hong Kong, which are inferior to Ang Lee, but their status in the rivers and lakes is also sufficient.

Gan Jing thought about it, but gave up: "Wang Jing once let me go of pigeons." Let me think about it again, it seems that making such a remake with a short interval takes into account the dignity of the director. I have to find a serious and responsible new director or a young director......"

"No, you can do it yourself. Li An took a sip.

Gan Jing was a little snorted: "Me?"

"Don't you know how to storyboard, draw every shot and shoot it. "Ang Lee doesn't think it's difficult to be a director, and he has seen many examples of acting and directing.

Gan Jing was a little unconfident, but after thinking about it, he just said that he should take into account the dignity of the director, so he is really a good candidate.

I don't have the dignity of being a director?

"I'll think about it later. Gan Jing didn't continue to talk about this topic, but director Ang Lee gave him an idea that he hadn't thought of before.

"Which one do you like more of this year's shortlisted works?" Gan Jing asked a serious question, which was a private communication before going to Cannes.

"Adele's Life. Li An said without hesitation.

Gan Jing didn't expect him to be so categorical, and asked a little weakly, "Is it good-looking?"

Li An was a little surprised: "Haven't you seen it yet?"

“…… I'm going to wait until the Cannes screening. Gan Jingwei was a little embarrassed.

Li An looked at Forrest Gump steadily, and said after a while: "Otherwise, you can give me this chairman." ”

"Trust my homework...... I just don't happen to have seen this one yet, Comrade Ang Lee, and sitting in front of you is a dedicated filmmaker who has been busy in the United States before. Gan Jing was ashamed, "This has been shortlisted for 20 films, and it will take time for me to watch them one by one." ”

There are a total of 20 shortlisted films in the main competition at Cannes, and the jury usually needs to choose 7 of them to be awarded, with the Palme d'Or being the most valuable.

Ang Lee temporarily believed Forrest Gump's statement, and then asked a key question: "Then what method do you plan to take to select the awards?"

"Persuade first, and if you can't convince, vote. Gan Jing had already thought about it, and the answer blurted out.

"Well, there's force. "Ang Lee is noncommittal.

Gan Jing smiled, raised the teacup, and teased: "Replace wine with tea, if you need to vote, the director has to support me." ”

Li An slowly raised the teacup, shook his head and sighed, "Did a cup of tea buy me?"

The two clinked glasses - the rare two Chinese filmmakers who could exert their energy in the Cannes jury reached a consensus.

……

May 26, the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival.

This year, because there are two Chinese people in the main competition unit, and Forrest Gump has become the chairman of the jury, there are a lot more media coming to France than in previous years.

In addition, there are also many Chinese films shortlisted for different units in Cannes this year, Jia Zhangke's "Destined" is the main competition unit, To Qifeng's "Blind Detective" is a kind of attention unit, and Liu Yunwen's "Crossing the Line" is a midnight screening unit.

As a result, there are more domestic movie stars who appeared on the red carpet at the opening of this day than in previous years, Jackie Chan, Zhang Ziyi, Fan Bingbing, Liu Dehua, Zhang Yuqi, Zheng Xiuwen, Li Yuchun, Zhen Zidan, Wang Baoqiang, Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming, even if they each issue a press release, domestic news reports are almost covered with news from the Cannes Film Festival.

However, the most striking feature is the chairman of the jury, Mr. Gan Jing.

The opening film was announced very late on the 26th, and according to local French media, Forrest Gump, who served as a judge for the first time, had different opinions with some judges and film festival officials on the matter of determining the opening film.

As the spokesperson of Givenchy and the best actor in the East of Cannes and the Oscar, Forrest Gump has always shown a calm Chinese demeanor, but on the issue of confirming the opening film this time, he quarreled a little out of grace.

It was a closed-door meeting.

But the door was closed, but the sound of the quarrel was heard.

For a whole afternoon, by the end of the meeting, the people who came out looked a little tired, especially Forrest Gump, who drank water frequently, and it seemed that the quarrel was quite draining his throat.

The French media is not inferior to the media of other countries, and this season is very sensitive to the Cannes arrangement, and it didn't take long for the news to break on the Internet, and when they saw the finalized opening video, everyone knew why.

- The opening film "Heaven is Destined", a film from China.

According to unreliable sources, it squeezed out a film from Hollywood when Forrest Gump was overpowered.

At this time, anyone who is not too stupid can see that the style of the president of the jury is not the kind of calm and relaxed, and it is very likely that he is learning from the authoritarian Polanski predecessors.

The fact that Polanski was the president of the jury was almost a personal attempt to suppress the other judges......

On the same day, Gan Jing did not walk the red carpet at all, but directly exchanged his views on this year's film with the judges inside, and when the red carpet was about to end, a Chinese crew walked into the venue.

This is Jia Zhangke walking the red carpet with Wang Baoqiao and other leading actors.

When he stood still, he searched around and set his eyes on Forrest Gump, heading straight for this side.
