"I don't want to take this position as the main judge."

Just in a quiet corner, Lehman shook his head and said apologetically to a senior Volod, who was in his 50s.

With a "clang" sound, when he heard the rejection, the person who represented the Cannes Organizing Committee + Cannes City Hall couldn't help but tremble, and the wine glass fell on the lawn.

Of course, they have not speculated on this result, but they privately thought that they would agree to the past relationship.

It’s a pity that Lehman, who feels that things are complicated, doesn’t want to spend so much effort on the preparation of a film festival.

To put it more selfishly, even if the 64th session is held next year, what are the benefits for him and his company? +

Transaction window? Already exist.

Palme d'Or? This is not something that can be obtained, and he himself does not need it.

With his current achievements, nothing is important except managing the company, building new projects, and accumulating momentum to reach a higher level.

Seeing that Lehman's refusal was not like a false statement, Wallod thought that the candidate who had been decided by wasted so much of their efforts would be given up. After a little disobedient, he immediately fought for: "We really need a director we like to attend. As long as you are willing to come, everything is easy to say."

The expectation in his eyes was not reduced at all, but he seemed to be a bad guy. Lehman shook his head, "I know the process. If I join, there will be too many things, but it is far from the time I attended those days. Although I am willing to do something for it, I really don't want to be trouble."

Sure enough, after the same reply, Volod finally stopped talking and his whole aura was a little decadent.

However, he also understood Lehman's decision, and that in charge of a production company itself needs to consider it from the company's perspective. It's not a single person.

"It's okay." Volod was about to maintain his demeanor on the scene and turned around and left, but he suddenly heard the other party speak, "However, I can recommend other candidates, I don't know..."

Volod had already given up, but he didn't expect that things would turn around. "Of course, I'd like to listen..."

Both of them were very kind.

Half an hour later.

After parting again, Wallod's face was also filled with joy.

......

After the banquet ended, Volod just returned home and called the Cannes Organizing Committee.

"He didn't agree, but he also gave the answer after learning some of our difficulties."

"Yes, yes, he is willing to do his best."

"Well, he said two things. One is that although he doesn't have so much time to review and promote the screening, he will communicate with several familiar directors to join the jury lineup."

"Yes, he will help ask Christopher Nolan, Zach Schneider, Gyro and others what they mean."

"It should be possible, Lehman said that they won't be too busy in the first half of next year, at least, on his side, I haven't seen any shooting registration."

"Also, another thing is about supporting young directors. Lehman also wants to find a way to give back to some young directors, so he is willing to provide special shooting funds under the name of Fireflies. Yes, if the plan is implemented, it is to let our third party find some excellent young directors and provide varying financial support. With the film festival screening period, there are two places a year, totaling 10 million US dollars."

"He didn't say it, but he hinted that he wanted to support directors with real potential and help them enter the industry through this platform."

"I think it's good, anyway, it's for the good of this industry. Isn't there anyone who always yells that there is no fresh blood and lacks vitality? This is also a way."

......

For Lehman, Shi En is definitely going to do it at the Cannes Organizing Committee and even the local town hall.

Even if he can't share the energy himself, Mann Media always takes the initiative. It is relatively simple to promote some performing stars and increase exposure, but it is not as public as the latter special fund.

After that, he and Ryan stayed in Cannes for another day and returned to Los Angeles.

It was nearly the last week of August, and "Despicable" further declined. While the film's box office market influence declined, the authorization market also shrank a lot.

However, at this time, "Despicable" has already made a profit, and Lehman is actually not very concerned about the subsequent direction. Apart from occasionally checking the entire curve situation, he starts to make plans for the subsequent schedule.

However, there are already arrangements. On Blue Butterfly, Liam leads the team to host the situation. The early publicity of "The Lost Love" has been launched one after another, so what Lehman has to do is not to waving the flag and cheering up the momentum, but to do some things in his production department.

For example, promote the start of "Super Body" as soon as possible, such as "Pacific Rim".

For the former, he had to wait for Luc Besson to raise his team, while for the latter, Lehmann wanted to wait until late September to go to the mainland to follow up on the action there.

After all, in terms of concern, the "Pacific Rim" project is almost related to the beginning of the entire monster universe, what will senior executives such as China Film and Huayi do, and what screening charter will be produced specifically, because it is outsiders, there are more variables.

Of course, since the gyro was completed in mid-July, the first cut has been stationed in the digital field and has been controlling the progress of the special effects camera. According to his own report, he has completed the task quite well.

In short, with the premise of ensuring quality, the difficulty of going out is only a promotional and distribution resource. At that time, it will be a time to be interested in the sincerity of mainland film companies such as China Film and Television.

Back in front of me, another day, Scarlett joined the special training group in advance under the guidance of his agent.

By the way, in the "Super Body" project, her salary is still not high. Although based on the role, she must be more than the salary for playing Black Widow, she only received 3 million yuan.

This is not that Firefly deliberately lowered the price, but that there is an explanation for customizing the role. Scarlett herself also thinks that Lehman is very special to her and is a little grateful. When she got the script, she also expressed her gratitude through Sophia.

You should know that the investor said it first and decided directly. In this case, when the investor took the lead in showing sincerity and the project looked really reliable, Scarlett's agents did not have the confidence to shout high prices.

Even they themselves think that they can get a guaranteed salary that is slightly worthy - after all, the heroine has many scenes in the whole film, and the rest is waiting for the movie to be released and appreciate again.

Youdao means that the capital pays money, bears risks, the laborers use names, energy, and everyone pays together. This is a matter of a reasonable and dare not raise the price. It is a very simple logic.

You can also say that the "Super Body" project is part of the long-term contract in the role of Black Widow. This way, it may be easier to understand.
