Chapter 570: Discussion
A self-recommended call from China was a bit unexpected, this attitude alone is good, but the selection of actors should be suitable from many aspects.
Although Forrest Gump's studio is not very strong so far, but with a great god in charge, there is naturally a halo shining, Gan Jing is not surprised after expecting it, most of the people in the film and television industry can be regarded as people who can seize the opportunity.
"Zhang Yi, I haven't set up a project on my side yet, but I just mentioned it to Bao Qian in passing. In this way, I saved your number, and you sent me a recent personal information. Gan Jing said quite calmly.
"Okay, Mr. Gan, I have kept the schedule here. "Zhang Yi's attitude is still very good.
Gan Jing hung up the phone, ate supper for a while, felt that he was full, and then grabbed his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lao Chen, asking him to collect information about this actor for himself, and there is obviously a difference between personal and third-party scrutiny.
Regarding Zhang Yi, Gan Jing is not familiar with it at all, but the script of "Only You" is intended to be used to praise Zhou Dongyu, so he does not plan to use a top-level handsome guy, so he remembered such a person.
After the opening ceremony of Cannes, the attention of the media dropped a little, and they only waited for the final awards, which was more free than that of directors and actors.
From the second day to the final awards, these days are different sections of film presentations, and judges like Gan Jing need to discuss the alternative films intensively.
This kind of viewing, discussion, and dispute is actually quite stressful, but Gan Jing feels that he enjoys it, and witnessing films with different ideas, different angles, and different cultures is very inspiring to him.
Cannes is not mandatory, and industry insiders from all over the world enjoy selected films either out of interest or for a limited amount of time.
Gan Jing is very popular every time he watches a show, he is the chairman of the jury, and coming to cheer people can bring some momentum, and the momentum can be directly converted into economic benefits.
When he met Wang Baoqiao the next day, Gan Jing knew that the overseas copyright of "Heaven Destined" was sold on the night it became the opening film, and the price was quite satisfactory to Jia Zhangke - it would be impossible to say that this would be impossible without the help of the opening film.
With visibility comes resources and money to help, and that's the same in many places.
On the third day of the Cannes Film Festival, the first meeting of the jury of the main competition unit began, chaired by Chairman Gan Jing and the other eight jury members were placed on either side.
"According to the original plan, the five films we are discussing today are "God Can Forgive", "Bergman", "Behind the Candelabra", "Adele's Life", "Straw Shield", everyone has watched it, right?"
Gan Jing glanced around and confirmed the basic situation first.
"Hmm. ”
“OK。 ”
"I've seen them all. ”
In an instant, three languages, Chinese, English, and French, rang out.
Gan Jing coughed, he could understand these languages, but some judges may not be able to understand them, considering the convenience of communication, he still said: "Everyone knows English, right? ”
A few judges were a little surprised, this Forrest Gump was quite careful.
"Do you think these five films have won the Palme d'Or?" Gan Jing decided to go from top to bottom.
"Adele's Life is not bad, and Leia has a romantic and melancholy temperament. British female director Lynn mentioned one first.
"It's really good, those shots in the bedroom are very charming, I personally like it. Oscar-winning supporting actor Walz smiled, "This one has the potential to be the Palme d'Or, but I haven't seen the rest yet, so I don't know if there will be any surprises." ”
"I think 'Straw Shield' is a good shot, the two cops protect the murderer from the siege, and the story is very human. Naomi Kawase, a judge from Neon Country, proposed another one.
Gan Jingyou watched this film, but he didn't think it was excellent, he glanced at the reactions of the other judges, and said directly: "I think this movie has a hard flaw in logic, and the plot is a little confusing, so there is no need to discuss its Palme d'Or." ”
Naomi Kawase looked up in the direction of Gan Jing's main seat, and said a little excitedly: "No, this film tells everyone that the law is the bottom line, it has the meaning of existence, and when most people feel that there is no need for trial, there are still police officers who will sacrifice for it." ”
The judges present are all characters who have seen a lot of movies, and their achievements are also dazzling, and they will not change their minds for a few words, and a few of them did have disapproving looks on their faces.
Gan Jing said flatly: "There is nothing wrong with reasoning through the movie, but the carrier is not good enough, at least, it did not move or shock me." ”
Naomi Kawase wanted to say something more, but Gan Jing didn't give him a chance, looked at the judges who didn't speak just now, and asked: "Choose one of these five as a candidate for the Palme d'Or, do you think "Adele's Life" is qualified?"
Except for Naomi Kawase, everyone else nodded, this film is indeed quite good.
"So, the first thing we settled down ......" Gan Jing's words were interrupted.
"'Straw Shield' explores procedural justice, but it doesn't just explore the theme that police officers insist on justice at the cost of their lives. This is the great spirit of bushido in our country, and the end of the film is especially shocking. Naomi Kawase spoke at length.
Gan Jing's eyes were on Naomi Kawase, 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, and "Straw Shield" continues to show us the bottom line of morality and law. In the face of choice, giving up the struggle is the easiest, but ......"
"But it's not pretty. Gan Jing was a little helpless, he knew that Naomi Kawase was supporting her own country's films, and if he changed his own evaluation of "Destined", he would probably be like this, but he was not from the neon country.
Naomi Kawase took a deep breath, she was not tall, but her whole expression was very serious, and she did not hesitate to do anything for the sake of the movie.
"Gan-kun, I think you should watch this film again, its bushido spirit is worth thinking about by each of us. ”
Gan Jing frowned, coughed, and said, "Director Naomi Kawase, I didn't understand your words too much, your neon Mandarin English accent is a bit heavy." I suggest you adjust your accent so that you don't have trouble communicating with everyone later. ”
Naomi Kawase looked straight at Gan Jun, her eyes were a little moist, she didn't say anything anymore, and slammed the door and left.
Gan Jing didn't have any expression, he was a little allergic to a certain word that the female director of the neon country said just now.
"Cheng, director Naomi Kawase probably went to practice her accent. Let's move on to the next award, okay?"
Li An blinked: "No problem." ”
If you have your own people, it's easy to do things.
