Chapter 195 Just do it with a clear conscience
At the end of April and early May, France has long become a tourist destination for film enthusiasts around the world due to the approaching of the 61st Cannes Film Festival. As for the venue of the Cannes Film Festival, the Cannes town with 5,000 meters of white beaches, blue sea water and green palm trees is even more crowded!
"Hello, Mr. Chairman!"
"Hello, Miss Natalie, Mr. Caron!"
"Hello……"
The sixth floor of the Cannes Film Palace is also a conference room on the top floor. Because family affairs have been delayed for a while, Gan Tao, who has finally arrived, said hello to eight judges in the conference room one by one with the information and pictures collected by Zhou Qing.
"God will bless the old man!"
Faced with the kindness of the chairman of the jury, Sean Pan, he nodded and thanked, while tidying up his suit and sat down.
As the first of the nine judges of the Cannes Film Festival, Sean Penn's achievements in film art are unquestionable. He was the Oscar for Best Actor, the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in Drama, and the honor of Best Actor in the Three Major European Film Festivals, is no less than the qualifications of the judges and chairmen of previous Cannes Film Festivals!
Among the nine judges, in addition to Sean Penn, the one who impressed him the most among the other seven was Natalie Portman who starred in Atida in the film "This Killer Is Not Cold" and Alfonso Karon who directed "Harry Potter - Prisoner of Azkaban".
But the director’s work that impressed him was not “Harry Potter”, but a future science fiction work “Gravity”!
The eight judges happened to be four men and four women, from seven different countries, including four types of jobs: director, actor, media person, and illustrator.
It was his first time to be a judge at this small meeting, so at this small meeting, he was always learning and facing several people, which invisibly conformed to the fine traditions of Chinese people such as modesty and politeness!
The 19 films from all over the world that were shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 61st Cannes Film Festival were announced as early as when he came. This number was two to three less than in previous years, but it was still impossible to count them until the last moment. There are directors who cover up until the end of the film every year. Jiang Wen has done it, and Quentin has done it!
Several people discussed the screening room for the 19 films shortlisted for the main competition unit. After the screening schedule, Chairman Sean asked Gan Tao, who had rarely spoken during the discussion, said, "Gan, I heard that "Face Change" is the work you brought this year?"
Gan Tao was stunned for two seconds, and then automatically translated Sean's "Face Change" to "Painted Skin", nodding, "Yes, it will premiere in Cannes, but it has not signed up for any competition sessions of this film festival!"
"You have very few works, I think I'll see them."
"Thank you!" Gan Tao nodded with a smile.
The reason why commercial films like "Painted Skin" premiered in Cannes is simply to take advantage of the popularity of the Cannes Film Festival. For gimmicks, now that the chairman of this film festival is Sean Pan, the gimmicks are naturally more abundant!
It has long been a consensus in the industry that it needs to be hyped before the movie is released. Naturally, he will not dispel the enthusiasm of Tongxin Film and publisher Huanya. While he cannot control it, he cannot say that he must cooperate with the hype, because his other identity is an actor and one of the stars of "Painted Skin"!
It is natural for the starring actors to cooperate with the hype. The male and female protagonists in the film have a meal together. During the filming, the two actors were incompatible, and the feelings in the play were brought outside the play, etc. Various hypes will come one month or six months before the movie is released.
He was unhappy, but he couldn't help but eat people with short hands and soft mouths. He had done many things before and was fat before, and he knew that this way of making money by killing chickens and getting eggs would eventually lead to self-destruction.
He is a male actor who is fashionable and uncomfortable in the face of all kinds of hypes out of nothing, let alone those actresses.
After passing this hurdle, an actress who can easily be among the bigwigs from all sides is the favorite of the investors!
There will be constant film appointments in the future!
As for those actresses who had their original intentions, they would either be defeated by reality, stay away from the circle, or start to slowly fall into depravity.
So he will try his best to cooperate with other starring actors in the film now, at least not let the problem occur to him. After all, a movie that successfully enters the theater and releases has too many things to do, and maybe it can end an actor's career.
Gradually, he also learned the habit of considering others through so many involvements!
He didn't know whether this habit was good or not. He also thought that if time went by, others would treat him as a good person. In a few years, in an era when everyone could edit entertainment news, some little stars in the circle would probably stick to him like dog skin plaster.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, he will become famous for ten years, or if he loses popularity, fame, and good works in two years, even if he is in an era when everyone is a media person, I guess others won’t care about him!
Thinking of this, he laughed at himself, feeling that it is better to be a good person who does not offend others or harm others!
He thought a little in a mess, and accompanied him back to the hotel not far from the Movie Palace, reminding him, "Gan, your room card is at the hotel front desk."
"Thanks!"
"Gan, I know you feel the pain of losing a loved one, but you are still young and should not live in sorrow forever!"
Sean Pan's serious consolation made his mouth twitch unconsciously. The old man passed away. At first, he was a little sad, but how could he live in sadness forever?
His afternoon silence and frowning were the only thing he had planned the character of "Old Good Man", his mind couldn't help but recall the upcoming event after he had planned the character of "Old Good Man".
Farewell to Chairman Paine, he received the room card, returned to his room, and after roughly looking at the extremely artistic suite decorated inside and out, he lay on the bed on his back, with the white and white folds of the precious suit, and was lazy to care. Behind his round eyes were the memories in his mind.
Because he had no object to tell the story, "What should I do!" became a few words that he often said suddenly in his mouth during this period.
Faced with so many lives that are about to die and the biggest secret in the world, he was really frightened, and even thought that it would be great if he did not have so many memories now. He should not become famous and not have a lot of money. He could have a little extra money every year and live a life of his wife and children. He just wanted to avoid such psychological torture that is beyond normal people!
In fact, he didn't know that when he had this idea, it showed that he was not like his father Gan Guohua said at the beginning, "The evil in his heart is greater than good!"
But now, there is no elder like his father who can enlighten him and tell him that he can have a clear conscience!
