Chapter 853 is an important step for Chinese culture to go global.
Being invited to be a member of the jury is undoubtedly a high recognition of his status in the film field.
"This is a great thing!"
After Wei Lianlian saw the invitation letter, his face was full of excitement.
“Member of the Cannes jury is a coveted position for filmmakers around the world.”
Lin Gao smiled.
"Yes, it is indeed an honor."
"However, I have to consider the time issue."
After all, the job of the jury is not an easy one, especially at international film festivals, where each participating film requires a lot of time to watch and discuss.
"I think you can accept this invitation."
Wei Lianlian suggested.
"The influence of Cannes is large enough, especially in promoting your international development."
Lin Gao nodded, actually having made a decision in his heart.
A few days later, he officially responded to the Cannes Film Festival and accepted the jury's invitation.
At the same time, Kevin's project information was also sent.
Lin Gao turned on the computer and carefully looked at the overview of the project.
Kevin's project is a large-scale production that spans multiple historical periods and covers multiple cultural circles such as Europe, the Middle East and East Asia.
The theme of the film is "Civilization and Conflict" and will show the exchanges and collisions of different cultures and civilizations in history.
Among them, as for the East Asian part, Kevin hopes that Lin Gao will take the lead, especially the part about Chinese history.
Lin Gao looked at the information and felt excited in his heart.
This is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
Through this project, he can show the important position of Chinese culture in history to a global audience.
But at the same time, Lin Gao also realized that the complexity of this project was far beyond ordinary film production.
It is not only necessary to coordinate the cultural background and historical positions of various countries, but also to find a balance point on a global scale to avoid dissatisfaction on either side.
“This project is really challenging.”
Lin Gao said to himself.
Wei Lian came over and took a look at the information.
"This is definitely a big opportunity."
"But it will indeed be very complicated, and the interests of all parties must be balanced."
Lin Gao nodded.
"Yes, conflicts of interest are inevitable in this kind of international cooperation project."
"I need to make sure that our history and culture are not distorted."
Wei Lianlian thought for a moment and asked, "How are you going to reply to Kevin?"
Lin Gao smiled.
"I will tell him that I am interested in participating, but we need to discuss the specific details further."
"This project cannot be agreed hastily."
A few days later, Lin Gao had a video conference with Kevin.
The two discussed the details of the project and how to collaborate in front of the screen.
"Lin, I really hope you can participate in this project."
Kevin said in the video.
"You are the best director to tell the history of East Asia."
Lin Gao nodded.
"I am indeed interested in this project, but I also have my concerns."
"We need to ensure that every country's history and culture is respected."
Kevin understood.
"Of course, we will ensure the accuracy and respect of the cultures of all parties."
"This is an opportunity for cultural integration, not conflict."
After a long discussion, Lin Gao finally decided to participate in the project.
However, he demanded that he have absolute control over the Chinese part during the production of the film to ensure that culture and history will not be tampered with or misunderstood.
Kevin readily agreed, and the two reached a preliminary cooperation agreement.
After the video conference, Lin Gao sat on the chair, full of expectations.
This is not only an opportunity for international cooperation, but also an excellent platform to showcase Chinese culture to the world.
Next, Lin Gao's schedule became even tighter. Not only does he have to work on Kevin's project, he also has to prepare for the Cannes Film Festival jury.
Every task is full of challenges, but Lin Gao is never afraid of challenges.
“The days ahead are not going to be easy.”
Wei Lianlian handed him a schedule and said with a smile.
Lin Gao took the schedule, looked at the dense arrangements on it, smiled and shook his head.
"I'm used to it."
"As long as it's a movie, all the hard work is worth it."
He looked out the window, filled with expectations for the future.
Whether it is the judging work at the Cannes Film Festival or Kevin's international cooperation projects, Lin Gao is full of confidence.
He knows that the road to film never ends, and he will continue to move forward on this road.
The Cannes Film Festival is getting closer.
Lin Gao's life became busier.
Not only does he have to prepare for the Cannes jury, he also has to deal with international projects with Kevin.
These two jobs left almost no gaps in his schedule.
However, Lin Gao did not feel too much pressure.
As a professional director, he has long been accustomed to this high-intensity work rhythm.
Lin Gao was sitting in his office, with a list of several films that were about to compete at the Cannes Film Festival spread out in front of him.
Each film is the work of a top director from around the world.
"These are works worth looking forward to."
Lin Gao murmured to himself.
Wei Lianlian walked in, holding some documents in his hand.
"Director Lin, these are the materials just sent by the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee."
"They confirm your final schedule as a member of the jury."
She placed the file on the table.
"By the way, your flight has been booked for the morning of the day after tomorrow."
Lin Gao nodded.
He glanced down at the document, flipped through a few pages, and his eyes stayed on a line of text.
"Cannes Film Festival Jury Welcome Dinner."
Lin Gao chuckled.
"It seems that this time I will not only watch movies, but also participate in some social activities."
Wei Lian smiled.
"Social activities are also an important part of Cannes. After all, this is a gathering of filmmakers from around the world."
"By the way, I have prepared your dress for you."
Lin Gao raised his head with a hint of ridicule in the corner of his mouth.
"You are very thoughtful."
Wei shrugged repeatedly.
"Of course, I will serve you in all aspects."
Lin Gao put down the document in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Okay, then I have to seize the time these two days and deal with the work at hand first."
Kevin's international cooperation projects are also in full swing.
Lin Gao has video conferences with foreign teams every day to discuss the details of the script.
This is a historical blockbuster co-produced by multiple countries, involving extremely complex cultural background and historical events.
Especially the parts involving Chinese history, Lin Gao had to ensure that they would not be misunderstood or tampered with.
"Lin, we have compiled a preliminary outline of the East Asian part."
Kevin's voice came from the computer screen.
"I hope you can review it as soon as possible to see if there is anything that needs to be modified."
Lin Gao nodded.
"I will read it carefully to ensure that every detail is consistent with historical facts."
He knows very well that this project will be an important step for Chinese culture to go global.
