director of the millennium

Gilles Jacob was sincere and decisive in his approach.

Softly banning Wu Yusen and Cannes completely cutting him off, this is the best result that Gilles Jacob can achieve.

Although the European film community is united, it is not united to the extent that all three major film festivals wear the same pants.

Even Venice and Berlin may be enjoying themselves behind the scenes, wishing that Cannes' influence and credibility would be questioned to increase their value.

Colleagues are enemies.

Gilles Jacob has done the best he can.

Wu Yuan is not the kind of person who is unreasonable and unforgiving.

Ruining the credibility and influence of Cannes will do Wu Yuan no good either.

The most important thing is that the fairness of Cannes is indeed acceptable. Wu Yusen just acted as a clown once.

If at the 58th Cannes Film Festival that year, Wu Yuan really lost the Jury Prize because of Wu Yusen's influence, then Wu Yuan might have resentment towards Cannes.

If it doesn't succeed, then it will naturally lead to wealth from being harmonious.

He also promised Gilles Jacob to be a member of the jury at Cannes next year.

Wu Yuan said calmly on the phone: "Mr. Chairman, I understand what you mean."

"Cannes has gone through 60 years of ups and downs. I believe that Cannes is such an authoritative and fair international film festival. I have always been honored to be a part of Cannes."

"I will not attack Cannes in front of the media, but what the media want to write is beyond my control."

"It is even more impossible for me to speak up for Wu Yusen and help him clarify."

"Silence is the biggest concession I can make to Cannes."

"As for my friends, you know, Hollywood has always rejected the European film industry. I can't influence the entire Hollywood. I can't say what they want to say."

He also knew that without evidence, this public opinion storm would eventually end in nothing.

Maybe Wu Yusen will lose face in the world, and Cannes will be ridiculed by Hollywood in various ways, but it can't be done to ruin Wu Yusen's reputation.

The snake does not die, but suffers from it.

Since there was no way to directly hammer Wu Yusen to death with one hammer, Wu Yuan did not intend to jump out on his own and have a head-on conflict with Wu Yusen.

The current public opinion scandal is enough for Wu Yusen to drink.

In Europe, Cannes will softly ban him. Although Venice and Berlin are watching the excitement, after knowing Wu Yusen's "vile" behavior, although they don't say it, everyone's perception of him has also dropped sharply, and they will be disgusted. and spurn him.

From now on, it may be basically impossible for Wu Yusen to continue to rely on his previous European influence.

Oh, Wu Yusen doesn’t have much European influence to begin with.

Compared with the Sunglasses King who is also from Hong Kong Island, Wu Yusen's influence in Europe is simply a younger brother.

And here in Hollywood, let alone it.

Although Hollywood does not pay much attention to the moral level of directors, it does not care whether you are a director with good personal ethics. What matters more is whether you can make a commercial film that sells well or an artistic film that can win awards. It only depends on your performance. .

However, Wu Yusen had already been banned from Hollywood a few years ago and was kicked out in despair. Now he has no intention of returning to Hollywood to develop.

After experiencing this round of exposure of black material this time, it can be said that Wu Yusen's global career has suffered a devastating blow.

Those who work in the arts hate the little secret actions and shady secrets that affect the fairness of awards.

With such a stain on his body, Wu Yusen will face hell mode in his future development.

"Thank you." Hearing that Wu Yuan gave Cannes face and chose to remain silent, Gilles Jacob was very grateful, with sincere friendship in his tone: "Daniel, I knew you were a truly noble director, and John Woo A villain like that is different.”

"As long as you don't speak up, it's enough. Leave the rest to me." "I very much look forward to meeting you in Cannes the year after next. I believe that with such a noble judge like you, Cannes the year after next will be incomparable." Wonderful."

Oh, is it noble not to add insult to injury?
  Wu Yuan was not at all impressed by Gilles Jacob's praise.

"Mr. Chairman, is there anything else?"

"If there's nothing else, I still have some things to deal with here."

"It's okay, then you go about your business first." Giles Jacob smiled and hung up the phone.

Holding the slightly hot phone, Wu Yuan let out a long breath.

With a happy mood, he took out his laptop and browsed around the Internet.

Sure enough, Hollywood caught on to the scandal in Cannes, and it was like everyone was at a climax, criticizing the unfairness of Cannes and criticizing Wu Yusen's villainous behavior.

If Cannes still needs to protect Wu Yusen to prevent him from completely ruining Cannes' reputation, then Hollywood really has no worries.

"Mission: Impossible 2" was a thing of the past in 2000. Now Wu Yusen has no status in Hollywood, and no one will speak for him.

Directors, producers, and actors from all walks of life took to Twitter and other social media to express their grievances for Wu Yuan and feel sad for the unfair treatment he suffered.

Is it because Wu Yuan's popularity is so good?

Of course not, it's nothing more than beating up a drowned dog.

Who is called the Big Three in Europe? They have always been unfavorable to mainstream Hollywood filmmakers. At least the first-line directors and actors in the mainstream circle rarely receive gold-rich awards in the Big Three in Europe.

Their home turf is at the Academy Awards.

Now that Cannes, which has always been aloof and did not want to see them, was exposed to a scandal, it would be like Li Yunlong bombarding Ping'an County, and everyone wanted to help.

Wu Yuan hadn't said a word yet, but his colleagues in Hollywood were filled with indignation, making Wu Yuan dumbfounded.

"Now, Wu Yusen's reputation is really bad."

He touched his chin and thought with some schadenfreude: "Is there still a chance for the project of "Tai Ping Wheel"?"

"Do you still dare to invest hundreds of millions in Wu Yusen to make this terrible movie?"

Hard to say, really hard to say.

I told you to do something evil to me in Cannes when you have nothing to do.

Wu Yuan felt as if he had drank a glass of iced Coke on a hot day, feeling so refreshed all over his body.

At the same time, people in various circles in the country were also frightened by this sudden public opinion storm.

In the past, they all knew that Wu Yuan had a great influence in Hollywood and that he had a high status in Hollywood, but they did not have a clear concept.

There is now.

As soon as the news broke that Wu Yusen suppressed Wu Yuan in Cannes, half of Hollywood supported and supported Wu Yuan.

From Peter Jackson, who directed the "Lord of the Rings" series, to well-known director Spielberg, to top-tier Hollywood actors such as Tom Hanks, Depp, and Brad Pitt, they all publicly spoke out for Wu Yuan.

Good guy, each of these names listed individually is a big name that no director or actor in the mainland can reach. As a result, they are all speaking up for Wu Yuan.

Is this the influence and status of top Hollywood directors?
  Being treated a little bit unfairly, and half of Hollywood jumped at it?

All domestic insiders who paid attention to this matter felt Wu Yuan's international status so clearly for the first time. An unprecedented sense of oppression made them immediately put Wu Yuan in their hearts. On the list of people not to be messed with.

This is a big guy!
  I can't afford to offend him, and I don't dare to offend him! (End of chapter)
