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

With the development of the Internet, the news always has to fly for a while before you can watch it, and the same is true of Jia Zhangke and Forrest Gump's movie talk.

The words "I don't understand movies" and "Cannes is waiting for you" have set off a lot of heat in the media, but unlike the tabloids that attract traffic, some big newspapers still have to be faceless and can get to the bottom of the problem without a conflict of interest.

What's more, both parties are not reckless, so they will not be provoked by some small tricks.

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

"Thanks, Forrest Gump. Jia Zhangke's hair is not long, and the most impressive thing at first glance is the rounded eyebrows on his face.

Director Jia was polite. Gan Jing knew that this was because of the opening film.

"It's really bothering you to bother with the opening film. Jia Zhangke spoke very politely, and sure enough, it was because of this matter.

Gan Jing was still a little surprised by this senior's words and attitude, and secretly felt that it might be because he was banned too much, and people were peaceful, and the group of people in his concept should be sharp.

Well, but if you judge people purely by their appearance, Jia Zhangke really can't see the sharpness.

"Yes, now Huaxia is the second largest box office market in the world, and correspondingly, I don't think Chinese films have achieved their due status and voice in the world. ”

Gan Jing didn't just say this to Jia Zhangke, he said it to the surrounding judges in English by the way.

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

Gan Jing paid attention to this detail and winked at Jia Zhangke: "There is a point, I watched "Heaven is Destined", Director Jia, can you pass the review of this film?"

Jia Zhangke immediately replied: "This film has already been reviewed. ”

"Have you passed the trial?" Gan Jing said strangely, "I didn't see the dragon mark." ”

"To be precise, it is close to being reviewed, and the leaders of radio and television say that there is no problem. Jia Zhangke smiled happily when he said this, but then added, "I want to delete some pictures a little, I'm preparing this here." ”

Gan Jing looked at the smile on the director's face, recalled the content of the movies he had watched, and felt that he was a little naïve when he smiled, but if he is not naïve, I am afraid that he will 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 films in Cannes. "Gan Jing's starting point is always from here, the right to speak in Chinese films is not to say it, but to do it.

has been talking about this, and the leading actors of "Destined" came forward to say hello to Gan Jing, especially Wang Baoqiao and Gan Jing hugged, the two have known each other for a long time, the first time they met was when Gan Jing went to make a cameo appearance in "People in Embarrassment", and Wang Baoqiang also helped him take care of the dog, 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 Baoqiang didn't expect that Forrest Gump would be able to have the status of the chairman of the Cannes jury so quickly.

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

Hmm, this once again moved the idea of being clicked by Li An before, but it was still not strong.

Before leaving, Jia Zhangke expressed his gratitude again: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you must cooperate." ”

Gan Jinggang wanted to be polite, but suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Director Jia, I have a film in my hand that is a director, it is a literary romance film, I don't know if you are interested?"

What does it mean to beat a snake with a stick?

It's called beating a snake with a stick!

Jia Zhangke was really stunned, and then said quite happily: "There is a schedule after this film, but I have to run the promotion of the domestic release, I'm afraid I have to wait, if I can have this time, it will be no problem." "The opening film of Cannes is an extraordinary honor.

Gan Jing smiled: "The film in my hand is not in a hurry." Then I'll give you the book later. ”

"No problem. Jia Zhangke also found it a little interesting, Forrest Gump is a very direct person.

Forrest Gump didn't ventilate the opening film before, if you look at it according to ordinary people, then I'm afraid I will tell myself in advance, so that I have to get a love regardless of whether it succeeds or not.

The two sides are separated, Gan Jing is also separated from the judges, there are many Chinese faces at the opening ceremony today, and he, as the chairman of the jury, naturally wants to meet and say hello one by one.

"Forrest Gump, you're going to come and see my film in the evening. This is Andy's work for his work shortlisted for the Midnight Screening Unit.

"Forrest Gump, there's a chance for the two of us to work together. This is Jackie Chan's happy greetings, he came here and has a new film press conference, and Fan Bingbing will work together on a "Midnight Run".

"I had time to go for a drink or two. This is Fan Bingbing's invitation, she is the red carpet as a cosmetics spokesperson this year, and there will be four drinking parties and interviews with multiple media, which can be described as a busy person.

Gan Jingyou walked among Chinese directors and actors, praising or praising him, and he had no stage fright at all.

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

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

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

Therefore, when the Chinese film "Destined" was selected as the opening film, many domestic media were excited.

At this moment, many fans who are paying attention to Cannes in China have watched the red carpet link, and finally saw Forrest Gump, who they have been looking forward to, in the camera.

In the camera, Forrest Gump did not sit in the audience like everyone else, but was discussing something with Jacob, the president of the film festival, on the side of the stage - because Forrest Gump was elected, there was a high-level relationship with the film festival in China.

Jacob is the president of the festival, and Forrest Gump is the president of the jury of the main competition, and it is the latter who invited the former, and the former is also in charge of the selection of films.

The audience saw the two people with serious expressions in the camera, and guessed that they must be exchanging the shortlisted film works very seriously.

However......

Gan Jing: "Have you eaten?"

Jacob: "No. I'm so hungry. ”

Gan Jing: "Me too." ”

The expression is serious, and the communication is serious.
