Chapter 396 Unexpected Guest
It must be a great honor to be a judge or even the chairman of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival.
However, Rong Guang is really too busy at this time, and he always feels like he has endless things to worry about. With so many companies and so many employees, we always need to make arrangements for them, right? Not to mention, he is about to face the huge task of "The Martian"
project.
Therefore, Rong Guang found a reason and declined such an invitation. At least in recent years, he had no time to be distracted.
Unexpectedly, Quentin took these words seriously. He took a big sip of wine and sighed: "Rong, you should make movies properly. I've had enough of this damn jury chairman."
(⊙?⊙)
Rong Guang was shocked, it seemed that there was something in Quentin's words?
The other judges also felt sad: "It's disgusting politics and nasty politicians that control our thoughts. Our creations need freedom! Freedom! Freedom!"
(⊙?⊙)
"..."
In fact, most people in the literary and art circles, including those in the sports world, hold a liberal ideology.
This kind of liberal thought has its criticisms. But it also has a positive side - art and sports need more exchanges. We don't want to join in any disputes. We hope that culture and sports can become a bridge of friendship between various countries and nationalities, making the world a better place.
Wonderful! As for politicians, leave it to me!
All right!
Look at the farce that has happened recently. As a literary, artistic and sports community, how can you just mess around? You should use your influence to call for peace and strengthen exchanges between culture and sports.
War is definitely a tragedy. Who is who and who is right is a matter of conflict between politicians. We will do what we can to strengthen non-governmental cultural and sports exchanges, hoping to restore peace as soon as possible. Save those innocent refugees.
civilian.
To put it bluntly, we are just engaged in art and sports, and we don’t know anything about international politics. War and sanctions are just like Yingjiang and his friends. Who are you? Are you too busy taking sides to win attention?
After all, we can't close all the doors, right? As the nature of the literary and artistic circles and the sports world, we must not go to extremes, as if we are old and dead, and we must leave room for future exchanges?
However, it should be admitted that politics and politicians are always affecting the cultural and sports circles, especially the influential film industry, which is the hardest hit area. Quite a few liberals are very helpless.
Including some people with ulterior motives inside, and even some pure fools?
Alas! Full of bitter tears!
At this moment, Rong Guang couldn't help but recall what Quentin said publicly at the award ceremony: "...the jury proudly awarded the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival in France to "Fahrenheit 911"!..."
"Moore's award has nothing to do with political factors. Moore won the award because he created a great movie..."
"When I stood on stage with Michael Moore, I knew this politically relevant film was going to win an award. I wanted him to know that I had to whisper in his ear: I just want you to know that you
You’re not winning because of the politics of your film; you’re winning because we think it’s the best film we’ve ever seen…”
"..."
Rong Guang thought thoughtfully. Although Quentin's personality is relatively ruffian, he definitely belongs to the kind of person with high IQ. Is that passage Quentin's true thoughts? Has "Fahrenheit 911" been unanimously recognized by the judges? Then
Only God knows.
Objective analysis shows that among the films participating in this year's Cannes Film Festival, "Oldboy" should have won the Palme d'Or, and "Juno 2" should have won the Jury Prize. This is more reasonable.
Speaking of which, it seems...it seems that "Juno 2" didn't suffer any loss? It was "Oldboy" that suffered?
It's really interesting. There must be a broken glass heart on the stick. Maybe you will cut off a few fingers in protest...right? Haha.
This is not right! As long as they have white skin, they will kneel down and lick them immediately. They like to recognize that kind of foreign father...
…
Rong Guang was sitting there thinking wildly, Quentin and the others had already gone to a cocktail party to have fun.
For such a reception, the organizer will arrange for a large group of official friends, noble relatives, etc., which is to use their status as so-called professional reception enthusiasts.
Rongguang can use their status to enhance their status here, and those drinking party enthusiasts can also have a place to play. It belongs to the kind of people who get what they need. Of course, basically Rongguang doesn't know each other very well, it's just a group of strangers having fun inexplicably?
Such an occasion is absolutely indispensable for socializing... Ahem, now it's called a socialite! Quentin and the other souls are already familiar with each other, and they are all busy discussing the artistry of the muse.
"Master Guang, are you here? Let me introduce you to some friends."
"Huh?" Suddenly hearing the familiar Mandarin, Rong Guang raised his head in surprise. What surprised him even more was that it was Wang Shuijing who came?
Rong Guang was confused. If you don't run a farm and raise donkeys, how could you get involved in this cocktail party? Also, what are those well-dressed black men behind you doing?
However, they were only guests, so Rong Guang still entertained these African-American friends warmly.
However, after the mutual introduction, Rong Guang was even more surprised. These black people had quite a lot of backgrounds. They were all diplomats from several African countries.
These diplomats talked a lot of nonsense. The general meaning is that on behalf of their own people, they welcome Rong Guang, the film master, and hope that at the right time, Rong Guang can come to their country for friendly exchanges.
After saying this convoluted diplomatic rhetoric, the diplomats exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then they became very interesting... Are you having fun?
As soon as they left, Rong Guang asked anxiously: "Old Wang, what happened to you here? Why did this suddenly happen?"
No matter how big Rong Guang's imagination is, he can't connect donkeys with cultural exchanges.
Wang Shuijing was happy: "Young Master Guang, listen to me, this is a good opportunity..."
It turns out that some time ago, many African countries held conferences to revitalize the African economy, and also invited representatives from many developed countries and international institutions, hoping that those big dogs could provide financial and policy support.
In fact, such conferences are often held because black brothers want to ask for some international assistance.
Of course, superficial work still needs to be done. All African countries have come up with their own revitalization plans, as well as investment promotion and foreign investment...
You read that right, this seems to be exactly the same as domestic policy.
