Chapter 2102： self-destructing promise

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

For the past 40 years, there has been an unstoppable tradition at every Shana Film Festival, that is, at the opening and closing ceremonies, the festival chairman Jill Jacobs, together with the general director, will personally welcome guests from all walks of life on the steps. However, this procedure, which has been going on unchanged for four decades, was broken for the first time at the 62nd Shana Film Festival, starting from the red carpet of the closing ceremony to the awards ceremony, people could not find the film The figure of the leader of the festival, which made the reporters can't help but start to make various conjectures.

Where did Jill-Jacob go? The answer is: New York. From Jill-Jacob's point of view, since he has already made an exception for Ang Lee, what's the harm in making an exception for Evan-Bell? This is actually an idea that Jill Jacobs has nowhere to go. Today's Shana Film Festival is absolutely a disaster. From start to finish, even the 59th Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year was even better. At least, the Berlin Film Festival has the support of 270,000 spectators, and what does the Schana Film Festival have?

The audience decreased by nearly 40% compared with previous years, the publishers decreased by 30% compared with previous years, and the awarding ending was more controversial than previous years.

When the 62nd Shana Film Festival entered the final day of the closing ceremony and awards ceremony, Jill Jacobs kept hesitating and struggling, hesitating and struggling again, and was finally driven to a desperate situation. He had to make a decision to go to New York. of this decision. In the audience segment, the starlight of this year's Shana Film Festival can be described as bleak, even bleak than the Berlin Film Festival, which has always been known as an academic school. The Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of the year invited Kate Winslet's "Life and Death" "Reading aloud", "Pippa Lee's Private Life..." with Blake Lively, "Mei Lanfang," starring Zhang and Ziyi, although the starlight is weak, it is still good there; and what about the Shana Film Festival? Even the biggest names in Ang Lee and Quentin Tarantino, the biggest names in their works are Brad Pitt, only Brad Pitt. Under such circumstances, the star-studded Shana Film Festival in previous years lost its appeal to the audience in an instant. According to incomplete official statistics, this time the Shana Film Festival has only less than 160,000 viewers. . It was the worst film festival in Jill Jacobs memory. Especially compared to the audience of 270,000 at the Berlin Film Festival, it made Jill Takubu uncomfortable. In the aspect of distributors, the Shana Film Festival has always been the world's largest distribution market, and even the rising star Toronto Film Festival is more than one grade behind. However, this year, the number of distributors at the Shana Film Festival has decreased by 30% compared with last year, once again creating a record low since the 21st century.

In such a situation, there is no need to look at the official statistics. The reporters standing in Shana can see that the small town of Shana, which is overcrowded every year, can even see a lot of movies this year with vacancies even out. And the distributors are no longer vying for their favorite films and even spending a lot of money. Before the end of the Shana Film Festival, the transaction amount of distribution rights did not even break through single digits; in addition, distributors and film sellers Agents have also begun to penetrate into the production business more proactively. They are no longer satisfied with the competition for distribution rights, but also hope to be involved in the development of themes and ideas. This is like a bolt from the blue for the Shana Film Festival.

Finally, it was the judges session. Sure enough, the strong Isabelle Cunper detonated countless suspicions inside and outside the media, and some even threw out the "shady theory". If it wasn't for Isabelle Cunper who gave the Palme d'Or to Michael Haneke, who has collaborated with her many times, her voice of being criticized as "dictatorship" might have been smaller. After the judges' discussion on the last day of the Shana Film Festival, many judges bluntly said to reporters, "This is the hardest week I have ever experienced." Mandoza's "Kinari" received mixed reviews and directly led to a break with Isabelle Huppert and other judges.

Of course, Michael Haneke's "White Ribbon" won the Palme d'Or, and it can be said that the film itself has a good reputation, but it is not a big hit; then "Kinari" ranked at the bottom of the professional magazine rating in the competition unit, but won the For the Best Director Award, Dao was stunned and even directly triggered a continuous wave of boos from reporters in the news center; and the Special Jury Award also gave birth to a double egg yolk, which is even more unprecedented.

All of this is the judgment made by Isabel Huppert with the power of his own chairman after the discussion and break with the jury. The "domineering side leak" Isabelle Huppert immediately ranked the most dictatorial and domineering in the history of Shana. Chairmanship. This made the other members of the jury complain constantly, and the reporters' doubts and doubts became overwhelming. It is such a Shana Film Festival, from the inside out, from the top to the bottom, it has fallen to the bottom. If Jill-Jacob can't do anything about it, then it is conceivable that next year's Shana Film Festival will only face more embarrassment. situation.

Although Jill-Jacob knows that Evan-Bell is not a life-saving straw, the real life-saving straw is still the major Hollywood production companies, and it is only reasonable to need to pull them to Shana, but Jill Tucob will not deny that Evan A Bell's eye-catching ability is absolutely second to none in the world. Moreover, the Eleven Studio represented by Evan Bell is itself one of Hollywood's important production companies. So, as long as Evan Bell is willing to attend the Shana Film Festival, everything else can be planned slowly.

As for the chips, Jill Suikobu felt that he didn't need to spend too much effort. Although he blocked Evan-Bell, in his opinion, Evan-Bell definitely wanted to return to Shana. You know, Evan-Bell now has Berlin's Golden Bear and Shana's Palme d'Or from his real Grand Slam. Evan-Bell will definitely not want to miss the Palme d'Or forever, even if there is no next year. The way to get it, and then this opportunity to rehabilitate with Shana and make plans for the future..." It's also very good. What's more, Jill pushed a highly respected person like Geb to apologize and express his sincerity, Evan Bell Is there any reason for rejection?

In Gil Suikobu's view, no. Ev Bell will definitely agree with enthusiasm - no, maybe the enthusiasm is nothing, Jill Tucob doesn't think that the prickly **** will be enthusiastic about him, but it doesn't matter, as long as Evan Bell nodded and agreed, then All is well.

Jill Takubu can stand at the peak of the Shana Film Festival forty degrees, naturally he has his uniqueness, although in dealing with Evan-Bell's matter, his decisive and killing godfather style aroused Evan's Bell's style Strong resistance' results in a riot, but as a real big man, when faced with a direct conflict of interest, Jill Jacobs can often make the most correct judgment, otherwise the Shana Film Festival will not be able to go status today.

Therefore, after nearly a month of adjustment and struggle, Jill Jacob decided to break his promise and "bow" to Evan Bell. for strategic concessions. As long as Evan Bell is persuaded to get the Shana Film Festival back on track next year, everything will be fine.

Afterwards, Jill came to New York with enthusiasm, and did not even attend the red carpet of the closing ceremony for 40 years. He thought he had come to the door in person, which was a big deal for Evan Bell. It's an honor.' He has even practiced the expression when he first saw Evan Bell in the hotel: he will face Evan Bell with a straight-up look, but his eyes will be slightly squinted, showing He gives his age and qualifications, but the corners of his mouth will draw a proper arc slightly upwards - not too flattering or too alienated, and his first sentence is "long time no see" to avoid directly mentioning the original The unpleasant embarrassment also vaguely hinted that the original unpleasantness has disappeared today. But it is a pity that Jill's expression of pushing Gebu to exercise for a long time is useless. He just fluttered in the air, and his perfect expression froze directly on his face. Jill Jacobs got a clear answer from the staff at Nine Princes Street: "Evan has gone to Los Angeles." It's a shame. But then Jill Jacob comforted himself like this: "I came too suddenly, and it was normal for him to leave without making an appointment in advance." He could only comfort himself like this, otherwise he would not be sure whether he would be there or not. 9 Princes Street began to riot.

Jill-Jacob originally heard that Evan-Bell was in the post-production of "mirror", so he took it for granted that he came directly to New York. But as everyone knows, this time Evan-Bell's post-production time was much shorter than expected. In less than a month before and after, Evan-Bell completed his own editing, soundtrack and other post-production work. After the American media received the news, they all speculated that "Mirror Image" should be a suspenseful romance similar to "Deadly Identity", and special effects should not be the focus. However, this is also in line with Evan Bell's consistent style. He is similar to Christopher Jielan, both of which are more old-fashioned and rules-based, and the reliance on special effects is not obvious. After getting the confirmed news, Jill Jacobs could only suppress his anger even if he was angry. Who told him to transfer from Shana to Paris and then to New York completely ignored the need to inquire about the news. After all, Jill Jacobs has been in a high position for a long time, and the so-called appointment has not appeared in his dictionary for a long time.

Resisting his anger, Jill Takubu could only set foot on the flight to Los Angeles again.
