The hotel backyard, which was originally a bit cold, was a little more lively than usual because of the arrival of Lehman.

After traveling all the way from the airport, I only had a rest for a night. People in the French film industry represented by Gao Meng visited again with politeness, which was inevitable.

Of course, the main thing is to talk to Luc Besson.

There was a corner of the banquet, and the two people who hadn't seen each other for some days were particularly harmonious.

"I've read the script." Lehman smiled, "It's actually a very simple story."

"Well." Luc Besson nodded, "It's not complicated in terms of plot direction. However, I think this is going to Hong Kong Island to film?"

"Isn't it right?"

"I want to hear what you plan to do."

"Our company has cooperation with China Film, and I also want to enter the mainland market."

"Is that true?" Luc Besson was a little surprised, but it wasn't actually surprising.

French filmmakers know that protectionism is still very strong in that area. At least, whether it is Europa Pictures or current performance, Gao Meng, the best in strength, cannot easily get the introduction indicators.

How could Mann Media have such a relationship?

Until the banquet ended, Luc Besson did not talk to Lehman about treatment.

The two of them had a tacit understanding of this matter and left it to the people around them to do it, maintaining their past relationship.

......

"Leman Rast is back."

"I heard that the organizing committee wants him to become the main judge of the 64th Cannes Film Festival to boost the momentum."

"No wonder it's so lively recently."

Now the summer season of film markets around the world is approaching its end, so even the cinemas are a little deserted. The theater managers don’t have so many things to do for the time being, and they are fully paying attention to the news in the Cannes film industry.

You should know that Lehmann's reputation is really good in France, and his hometown is even more famous in Cannes. Here, as long as his movies are used, his deeds have been reported frequently, and it is even said that the biggest banner of French filmmakers is erected in Hollywood, which is fascinating.

Furthermore, the audience is satisfied with the exclusive movies.

Under such a foundation, when Lehmann returned to Cannes from Paris and welcomed and sent him to the public, it was really lively, and there were banquet invitations almost every moment.

Of course, Lehman himself also made friends everywhere with cheerful friends. When he met senior filmmakers who were older than him, he was equally polite.

"Leiman, there is a promise. Gao Meng and Europa share the local distribution rights of "Super Body". In addition, Luc Besson personally took away a basic salary of 5 million yuan and a 10% box office share in North America, and the promotional expenses were evenly allocated." Ryan leaned over and said.

"Did you tell me the expected boot time? The schedule is OK?"

"They have no plans to produce films in the next few months, so it doesn't matter at all."

There is another saying that Ryan didn't say. Compared with Mann Media's hard power and financial reserves in the circle, Europa is incomparable, and Luc Besson cannot sit in the same position as Lehman to play games. When he saw Europa director Peel Angie, he knew that the attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

"There is nothing to say about the conditions, it's okay, just do it." Lehman looked at someone coming with champagne again, turned around and said politely, clinking glasses and drinking.

When this man left, Lehmann was not doing well yet. Ryan couldn't help but say, "There is no need to be too polite to these people. We didn't have much contact."

"Just drink some wine, I won't promise anything easily."

There are circles where there are people.

Cannes and even the entire French film industry have always had some differences in attitudes towards Mann Media. Some of them are networks composed of vested interests. They have made money directly or indirectly from Lehmann, so they are friendly. And how many people can a film company attract? Among the local filmmakers who did not take advantage of Mann Media's ride-sharing, perhaps some are a little dissatisfied and jealous.

Of course, Lehman could be considered unaware, but in fact he was unwilling to deepen this separation, so he tried his best to be in good shape.

However, when the banquet is about to end, I still can't avoid any trouble.

......

Lehman came here because he knew what the Cannes Organizing Committee and Cannes City Hall were about.

The same goes for the film festivals, but someone should also gild it.

In fact, it’s normal. If you are an international movie window platform, you can’t even invite a few big names. Isn’t that the jury that year was too cheap?

But the jury has lost its price and lacks qualifications. How can we attract popular actors or good works to participate in the selection?

This year in May this year, it is obvious that some stars are dim, and even the relevant press releases are not splashing, and the attention is sluggish.

If it cannot, there will be a problem, it will have to be corrected.

What can be done by film energy conservation besides the jury members drafting, what else can we use to attract the attention of filmmakers and tourists from all over the world?

Almost this is the only way to go.

This leads to two questions: Why does Cannes have a direct director? Why does Cannes get close to Chinese-language movies?

In fact, the answer is very similar in nature, because the Cannes Organizing Committee also needs to use the director's own connections to fill their guest lineup and even the movie list.

You can find that after each jury is formed, basically everyone in it will work hard to help maintain the opening and screening of the current session. The potential of Chinese-speaking areas is unquestionable. In such a large area, the production volume is not comparable to that of ordinary areas.

Then, it is no wonder that the Cannes Organizing Committee has approached Lehman.

First of all, he is the direct line among the direct line. Once elected, he will definitely be more willing to contribute than ordinary people;

Secondly, who doesn’t know that he is doing well in Hollywood? If you don’t say anything else, just say hello a few times. Those big-name actors who have worked with him take time to play, it doesn’t matter. Or it may attract many Hollywood stars here, and the surrounding billboards and movies exhibited are more important.

You know, compared to other regions, Hollywood is really not as popular as the Cannes Film Festival. Many times, people play it themselves. After all, their Oscars have a greater influence, so there is no need to put the energy of awards and public relations in Cannes.

With this, Hollywood has reason not to exile.

Of course, they didn't know that Lehman is now in contact with China Film, the official organization of the Chinese film industry, otherwise the motivation for this invitation might be more sufficient.

They have been in contact with Chinese-language filmmakers many times, aren’t they also taking advantage of the situation?

Anyway, the Cannes Organizing Committee simply wants enough gimmicks, value, exposure, and even whether the film source is of high quality. In other words, with Mann Media's status at this time, as long as he is connected, some of the Hollywood entertainment industry and some of the Chinese film industry are settled, and there is no need to worry about them sighing, but they don't know where to do it.
