Millennium director

Is Wu Yuan sad to hear that Wu Yusen suppressed him during the Cannes Film Festival review that year?

Sad, but so sad that my sad mouth broke into a smile.

From Europe to South Asia to East Asia and North America, this news spread quickly around the world, as if it had wings, and was translated and reprinted by media in various countries.

As a victim, Wu Yuan is naturally the target of sympathy.

As journalists, most of the articles they write are exaggerated.

Obviously Wu Baige just did it, but failed.

But in the mouths of reporters, he is an evil villain. Taking advantage of his being a senior, having been in the industry for a long time, and having wide connections in the industry, he was jealous of the talented director who also came from China, so he tried his best to suppress Wu Yuan.

Even the fact that "Gravity" and "Red Cliff (Part 1)" were released at the same time in Japan were cited as evidence that Wu Baige suppressed Wu Yuan.

This made Wu Baige really anxious.

Obviously it was Wu Yuan who wanted to go head-to-head and arranged "Gravity" after "Red Cliff (Part 1)" was scheduled to be released on the same day. How come the media said it was him, Wu Yusen, who deliberately suppressed Wu Yuan? Released on the same day?

Is there such a method of suppression that kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself eight hundred?

Wu Baige, who originally wanted to endure this wave and not stand up to respond to these slanderous materials, couldn't bear it any more and accepted an interview with a friendly media to respond to the recent "smear campaign" against him by global entertainment media.

"I don't know why Randita Das said this to the media. Director Wu and I don't have any personal grudges. How could we act unfairly during the Cannes judging session?"

"It's a great thing that a young and talented director like Director Wu can appear in a Chinese-language film. I can't even be happy. How could I do something that would cause pain to my relatives and pleasure to my enemies?"

"I believe that rumors only stop with the wise, and I hope that friends in the media will stop these groundless frame-ups."

"If some media continue to spread rumors, I will use legal weapons to protect my reputation!"

Wu Baige's high-sounding and righteous public refutation of the media's actions does indeed look like that.

The old director with gray hair looked aggrieved in front of the camera and spoke sincerely. It was indeed very confusing, which made some people who did not know the truth and followed the media's words shake a lot.

"Director Wu Yusen doesn't seem like the type of person who would do things behind the scenes. If you look at his movies, he always calls for peace. I believe that a peace-loving person would not do such a thing."

"Director Wu Yusen is over 60 years old this year. He has been a director for half his life. To put it bluntly, people are about to be buried. Is it still necessary to suppress newcomers?"

"I believe Director Wu Yusen, although the filming of "Red Cliff" is quite bad, he should not be able to do such a despicable thing.

"The movie is terrible, but in terms of character, director Wu Yusen is pretty good, right?"

"That Indian actor must have bad intentions. He is deliberately trying to sow discord between our outstanding Chinese directors. We must not fall for this!"

Don't say it yet, don't say it yet.

Wu Yusen's kind, chubby look is really confusing.

At least just by looking at his face, no one thought he would be a mean person.

However, in fact, Wu Yusen was so shameless. After seeing Wu Yuan's rise in the United States, which threatened his status, he couldn't help but want to suppress Wu Yuan.

Does Wu Yuan know this?

It couldn't be more clear.

Does Wu Yusen know that Wu Yuan knows about this?

Of course I know.

However, Wu Yusen still dared to say in front of the media that he had never done it with tears and runny noses. This is slander and frame-up.

He just got it right, there was no way Wu Yuan would jump out and fight with him.

Because there is no evidence!

Whether Randita Das let it slip or did it on purpose, in short, although she disclosed the inside story of the review to the media, she had no evidence to prove it.

What evidence can be produced for this kind of verbal wooing and suppression?

Cannes is not a freeloader. Most of the 9-member Cannes jury are direct descendants of Cannes. It is impossible to support Randita Das and disclose the inside story of the jury together.

It is impossible for Wu Yuan to stand up and openly quarrel with Wu Yusen. After all, his relationship with Cancheng is not bad. In addition, the quarrel without evidence will only develop into a scolding war, which will eventually end. Of.

Even Wu Yusen thought that the people in Cannes must have been doing crisis public relations and were trying to find ways to silence Wu Yuan so that he would not jump out and follow the media to question Wu Yusen and make this matter continue to escalate.

Once he also jumps out to openly confront Wu Yusen, no matter what the final result is, Cannes' credibility will be absolutely destroyed. A scandal can reduce Cannes' influence by half.

Cancheng must ask Wu Yuan not to add fuel to the fire to this public opinion.

In fact, Wu Yusen's guess was correct.

At this time, Wu Yuan did receive a call from Cannes, personally from Gilles Jacob, the chairman of the Cannes Organizing Committee.

"Daniel, I'm sorry that this happened and affected your work and life."

"I assure you that in the judging environment of the 58th Cannes Film Festival that year, although John Woo did try to influence the judgment of the judges, in the end his behavior failed, and our jury still made the most fair decision. selection.”

"I believe you also know this."

"John Woo did do something unethical, but we can't control this kind of thing. This is John Woo's personal behavior. I believe you can understand it."

We've all been foxes for thousands of years, so there's no need to play nonsense.

Gilles Jacob did not try to pick Wu Yusen out. He also knew that Wu Yuan could figure out the truth of the matter, so Gilles Jacob did not hide anything, but talked openly and honestly with Wu Yuan.

To be honest, Cancheng officials are also one of the victims in this matter, and Gilles Jacobs wishes Wu Yusen, who undermined Cancheng's fairness, to die.

But this matter has been exposed, and he has no choice but to die. Not only can he not die, he must also try his best to suppress the storm.

"Daniel, I sincerely hope that you can stand on the same side as Cannes on this matter. After all, you will also be one of the judges in Cannes the year after next, and you will also have a part in Cannes' glory."

"As for John Woo, I will give you a satisfactory result. Starting from this year, John Woo will no longer have anything to do with Cannes, and his films will no longer be shortlisted for any unit competition in Cannes. Although I won't announce it publicly, but the fact is that he will be completely banned from Cannes."

"I'm not taking credit for this, I just hope you can keep silent in front of the media while we deal with it in a timely manner, and don't magnify this matter anymore, okay?" (End of Chapter)
