Chapter 343: Three Hours?
The next day, the news that the jury of the Palme d'Or was Professor Jon spread.
All of a sudden, the entire film industry was boiling.
The film festival, which has already attracted much attention, has once again raised its attention to a notch at this moment!
Who is Professor Jon? What a living fossil in the film industry! The existence of the Tarzan giant fighting level.
Nowadays, some film schools around the world still use his books as teaching materials, so you can imagine how influential this Professor Jon is.
"The Cannes Film Festival was able to invite Professor Jon to be the chief judge this time, and I suddenly regretted that I didn't participate in this year's Palme d'Or."
In other words, the film that was shortlisted for the Palme d'Or this time was recognized by Professor Jon, what a special honor? It's no less than winning the Palme d'Or! ”
"That's right, Professor Jon's own existence is a monument to the film industry!"
"I actually missed the Palme d'Or, oh my God, I'm committing a crime!"
"It's a pity it's too late."
Many directors who did not participate in this Palme d'Or Film Festival all sighed and felt very regretful.
The directors who signed up were excited, and they were very happy to have their work reviewed by Professor Jon.
For example, director Quentin, who has arrived in Cannes, wears a peaked cap, a good cigar in his mouth, and a smile on his face.
"The teacher is coming to Cannes too? It seems that I will have to go to him for dinner after the shortlist is announced, I haven't seen him for a long time! ”
At this time, in a five-star resort hotel in Cannes, McKenna with short blond hair was lying on a chair soaking up the sun, and for a while she didn't know whether her skin was brighter or the sun was more dazzling.
"Old Professor Jon? This year's Cannes Film Festival is actually him...", the little flower girl who is in charge of Hollywood stroked the sunglasses on her face, and her expression looked a little yearning.
Although she is still a high school student, she has already begun to prepare for college, and the New York Film Academy, where Professor Jon teaches is one of the universities she would most like to go to.
...
On the other hand, Shen Feng, who had spent a vacation in Cannes, also learned the news.
"Professor Jon?" Shen Feng raised his eyebrows, and silently searched for information about the old man on his mobile phone.
Soon, a lot of information about the old professor's bio appeared on the search terms.
It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's a big surprise to see it!
One of the cornerstones of modern film, a world-renowned film scholar, the author of many film and television textbooks, and a living fossil of film!
"It's amazing, the Cannes Film Festival can still invite this kind of task, and I don't know what the movie "Titanic" looks like to him."
...
At this time, the jury of the film festival did not pay too much attention to the unexpected world, and was still intoxicated with the film appreciation of the Palme d'Or.
To be able to be the top in this industry, at least they are all lovers of movies, so no matter how long you watch it, you won't get bored, but you will have a little aesthetic fatigue.
At this time, the movie was playing on the screen, but the expressions of several people in the seats below seemed to be lacking in interest, and some even yawned a few times.
Only Professor Jon, as concentrated, as always, remained motionless.
When the film was finished, the result was just like the attitude they showed, and they gave bad reviews.
"The plot is vulgar and artistic, you can guess the plot direction of the next hour after watching it for ten minutes, I really don't know how this person dares to sign up for the Palme d'Or!"
"Although the Palme d'Or doesn't set any thresholds, but those who participate in it have to know in their hearts, sorry, I can't appreciate any highlights from this movie."
Everyone, you say a word to me, and you sentence a movie to death.
Professor Jon, who was sitting in the middle, didn't give much of a comment on this, and was obviously not very satisfied.
"Let me see, the next movie is called "Titanic"." Professor Mark flipped through the movie table and read out the name of the next movie.
"I've heard that it seems that an Oriental director filmed in Hollywood, and it is said that he also signed a gambling agreement with Binks Cinema!" Gretel, who was holding his legs, directly explained the origin of the movie.
Suddenly, Sparrow was also interested, his brows twitched twice, and he said, "Bold guys, those people at the Binks Cinema are not good at the lake."
Matti stood up: "I'll go to the bathroom first, and I'll show it when I get back."
"You don't have to be so cautious Matti, didn't you also watch a movie made by an Oriental in the morning, I think they should all be of the same level." Klett said with a contemptuous look in his eyes.
Ma Ti, who was walking outside, responded: "This is not good, we are judges, and we have to look at each work with an objective and fair attitude."
Professor Jon in the middle nodded and said, "That's right, we should respect every work."
It seemed to be recognized by Professor Jon, and Matthi's steps were much lighter.
Camett, on the other hand, embarrassedly put down his feet, twitched the corners of his mouth, and didn't say anything more.
When Matti returned, the title of "Titanic" officially appeared on the screen.
Several judges subconsciously glanced at the progress bar of the movie, and after seeing the time of the movie clearly, they all opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.
"Three... A three-hour movie? ”
"Doesn't this oriental director understand it very well, the best duration of the movie should be between 90 minutes and 150 minutes, and it will be too long to drag on!"
"Oh my god, I have a hunch that this movie might be like my grandma's footwrap, smelly and long..."
There are a few judges who haven't watched the movie yet, and they gave a bad evaluation in their hearts.
But it can't be helped, now that the movie has started playing, you have to watch everything.
Professor Jon on the side also coughed: "Ahem, let's look at the content of the movie before making an evaluation, although the best duration of the movie is one hundred and twenty minutes, but occasionally there will be a few special cases."
