Entertainment From Divorce

Paris France.

Ernest Dick is a member of the organizing committee of the Paris Film Festival. He is in his forties and has a certain reputation in the French director circle. He has two works that are very influential around the world.

After washing, my wife has prepared breakfast.

There are bread, jam, milk and coffee on the table.

Ernest Dick sat down, took the bread, spread some jam on it, and ate it.

Different from domestic breakfast habits, French breakfast, also known as ‘little lunch’, focuses on two words – simplicity. French breakfast is almost bread and pastries, with various jams spread on the monotonous bread.

Ernest Dick picked up the brewed coffee and paired it with the bread. The milk on the side was not for drinking, but for dipping with bread crumbs or croissants.

The French's favorite drink on the breakfast table is coffee, especially concentrated instant black coffee. Because instant black coffee is very convenient and only requires a cup of hot water, and coffee has a refreshing function, it has become a must-have breakfast drink for the French.

After breakfast, Ernest Dick straightened his hair. Since he was not worried about baldness, he styled his hair into a slicked back and put on a neat suit.

Standing in front of the mirror, Ernest Dick smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes to make himself look the most perfect because he had an important event to attend.

Ernest Dick drove the car to a hotel and was led by the waiter to a large conference room.

I saw people who had arrived at the conference room dressed as grandly as he was, because today they were discussing the nomination list of films selected for the Paris Film Festival.

Those who can be selected as members of the organizing committee are relatively prestigious in the industry, which can make the selection results more convincing and reduce online disputes.

As soon as Ernest Dick came in, several people came up to say hello.

"haven't seen you for a long time!"

"Long time no see!" Ernest Dick asked: "How is the filming of your new movie going?"

This is a young man who looks to be in his thirties and is a relatively well-known actor in France.

The two men have collaborated several times. One of Ernest Dick's two internationally famous films starred the actor.

"The filming is now in the later stages, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another three months."

"I'm really looking forward to your performance in the movie."

The actor said with a smile: "You haven't made a movie in five years. When will you make a new movie? I'm still waiting for your invitation."

As an actor, no matter what the occasion, as long as there is an opportunity to meet a big director, he will recommend himself, and maybe he will be successfully invited.

Ernest Dick waved his hand and said: "I don't have any plans in the near future. Let's see about it later."

He wants to spend more time with his family at home and doesn't have many plans for movies yet.

When such a circle of people gathered together, they mainly discussed film and television content. Ernest Dick chatted with a few people for a while, glanced at the time on his watch, and thought it was almost done.

At this time, the conference room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes focused on the door.

The head of the Paris Film Festival came to the conference room, accompanied by Pansy Curtis, who was being groomed as the next head.

For a time, everyone in the conference room went to say hello.

The person in charge nodded and waved, echoing the greetings.

The person in charge of the Paris Film Festival is Hicks Walter. He is over seventy years old and has white hair. He is the most prestigious person in the French entertainment circle. It can be said that everyone in the conference room grew up watching his movies.

Organizing a film festival is extremely time-consuming. As he grew older, Hicks Walter felt that he was somewhat powerless, so he came up with the idea of ​​​​training a new person in charge.

"Everyone, please take a seat." Hicks Walter took the main seat, and the others sat on both sides of the long table.

The long table was covered with white gauze curtains, and bouquets of flowers were placed at regular intervals.

"Since the Paris Film Festival announced the theme of inspirational films, many good works have emerged, inspiring the audience. This is what a film and television work should do, and it is the goal of our film festival. Purpose. Taking inspiration as the theme this time is a very successful case. It can be held more in the future. There is no need to follow the rules."

Hicks Walter said a lot, ended his speech with a burst of applause, and finally said: "Let Pansy Curtis introduce to you the rules of this ballot."

Pansy Curtis stood up and said: "Because of the changes in this film festival, there have been some changes in the rules. Everyone can choose the three movies you think are the best from the inspirational movies, and the votes will be tallied at the end. Select ten films to be nominated for this Paris Film Festival.”

The staff has distributed paper and pens to everyone in the conference room.

"I hope you will be responsible when choosing movies. They all have to participate in the final competition. Okay, I won't say more, let's get started now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ernest Dick picked up the pen and wrote the names of the movies directly on the paper. The first one on the list was "Forrest Gump".

During this period, whenever an inspirational movie is released, he will rush to the cinema as soon as possible. All inspirational movies have been rated in his mind. The one that impressed him the most is the Chinese movie "Forrest Gump". Watch More than once.

Ernest Dick still remembers that when he saw this movie for the first time, he didn't have much expectations for "Forrest Gump" in his heart, mainly because it was made by a Chinese director.

But in order not to miss every inspirational movie, I finally chose to go to the cinema.

I was immediately shocked. The story design in the play was very exciting, and my whole viewing state changed from not taking it seriously at the beginning to being completely immersed in the movie later on.

If he could only choose one movie, he would choose "Forrest Gump" without hesitation.

After Ernest Dick finished writing, he handed the note in his hand to the staff and waited for the result.

There are those who write as fast as him, and naturally there are those who write slower, touching their foreheads, thinking about which movie is their favorite.

Judges are also human beings. They have their own favorite movies. No matter how good the movie is at the box office, as long as it does not meet the taste of the judges, it is normal that it will not win the award.

Therefore, Ernest Dick could not judge whether "Forrest Gump", which was currently popular in the film market, could be selected?

There are only three movie names, and people who have thought about it for a long time will have the answer within a few minutes.

The staff put all the votes in front of the person in charge, Hicks Walter. For the sake of fairness, they and Pansy Curtis started counting the votes directly in the conference room. There were only more than twenty people, so there was no waste. Too much time.

While waiting for the results to be announced, everyone had expressions of anticipation on their faces, hoping that the film they selected would be shortlisted for the film festival. This is a very meaningful thing, and it will also reflect on their own vision if they win an award in the future. A recognition.

The conference room was very quiet. Everyone did not chat because they had nothing to do. Everyone's eyes fell on the two people who were counting the votes.

Since the Paris Film Festival took inspirational films as its theme, many films with this theme have appeared in the film market. There are many excellent works, all of which are directed at the film festival.

Not long after, Hicks Walter picked up the list and coughed lightly, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense, as everyone was looking forward to the final result.

"The votes are out. Pansy Curtis, please tell everyone which ten films have been nominated for this Paris Film Festival."

Pansy Curtis still stood up, started to look at the list, and read: "The first one is "The Boy in the Storm", the second one is "Never Give Up", the third one is "Witness the Legend", the third one is "Witness the Legend". The fifth of the four "Wanderings in the World" is "The Storm Comes"."

At this time, Ernest Dick felt like he could hear his own heartbeat. He especially hoped that "Forrest Gump" would be nominated. If he didn't even have a chance to be nominated, he wouldn't want to win.

There were also people in the conference room who clenched their fists excitedly. Such people knew at a glance that the movie they wrote had been shortlisted.

Ernest Dick swallowed nervously, because he had already reached the ninth place and still hadn't heard the name "Forrest Gump".

Pansy Curtis put down the paper in her hand, looked at everyone, and said: "The tenth "Forrest Gump"."

Ernest Dick took a deep breath, a smile on his face, and his mood was on a roller coaster.

He felt there was still a glimmer of hope until he got the last spot because the movie left such a deep impression on him.

Winning a movie award does not have much impact on him, but he sincerely hopes that "Forrest Gump" can show off at the Paris Film Festival. Such an excellent film and television work cannot be buried.

Ernest Dick was also very lucky that "Forrest Gump" could be chosen by so many people.

"The above are the ten films nominated for this film festival." Hicks Walter took over and continued: "For me personally, no matter whether it is a nominated or not nominated film, as long as it is on the air If it resonates with the audience after it is released, it can be called a good work. As for which of the ten selected films will win the award, let us wait and see."

"Everyone is a member of the entertainment industry, and there are still many things to be busy with. Let's end today's meeting. Before I leave, I want to tell you one last thing. There is still some time before the film festival starts. The above-mentioned nominees The ten films will be kept secret for the time being and shall not be announced to the public."

Some people spoke in response, while others nodded in response.

In fact, keeping things confidential has been a common practice in the past.

But most will be revealed in advance.

Secrecy is bullshit.

This time it was still the same result.

Not long after the meeting ended, a user on Twitter suddenly revealed the ten films nominated for the Paris Film Festival, which aroused great popularity.

"Can't what this person said be true? Looking at the ten movies on the list, they are indeed quite good."

"If nothing else, these ten movies look pretty reliable."

"I knew that the jury of the Paris Film Festival was meeting in the past few days, but I didn't expect that it would be to discuss this matter."

"'Forrest Gump' is my favorite among these ten movies, and it is also the highest-grossing movie. I don't know if it will win the award in the end."

"We can't tell what the judges are thinking. Before the results come out, anyone may win."

For a time, media in many countries also began to report on the matter. There was no official confirmation, and most of the reports were based on speculation.

"There is news on the Internet that there are a total of ten films nominated for this Paris Film Festival, namely "The Boy in the Storm"."

"There have been changes in the new Paris Film Festival. It is reported that there are ten films shortlisted this time, and the currently screening "Forrest Gump" is among them."

"It's such a surprise that "Forrest Gump" was nominated for the Paris Film Festival."

"You still don't know whether the news is true or false? Let's wait for the official website to update the news."

"Although the official website hasn't announced the news yet, it's pretty much the same. In the past, someone would break the news in advance before the film festival started. It's most likely true."

“It’s really full of surprises!”
