Chapter 180

May 11, afternoon.

When Zhuke and Nolan arrived in Cannes and just entered the hotel, they received an invitation.

"Boss, this is a dinner invitation from gill Jacobs, President of Cannes Film Festival. The invitation indicates that this is a welcome reception for a group of filmmakers from all over the world before the opening of the festival." Alexander was a good assistant.

Zhuke knew it, and immediately raised his invitation to Nolan. "Man, would you like to have a drink together and see the filmmakers from all over the world?"

Hearing this, Nolan shook his head.

"I won't go, Mr. Wald."

In fact, Christopher Nolan wants to go to the reception. Now he is a new director. It's a good thing that he's not famous and knowledgeable, but he has his own pride and persistence. He didn't want to attend the reception as an adjunct to the invitation, he wanted a formal, separate invitation to him, Christopher Nolan himself.

"Well, you can rest early tonight."

Zucker didn't say any words of comfort and consolation. He is an adult. If he can't even adjust this, Nolan won't make such a big name in the future.

After washing up in the hotel, Alexander appears in front of Zucker again.

"Boss, this is the list of judges of the 51st Cannes Film Festival." Alexander respectfully handed out a piece of information.

Before the evening party started, Zhuke watched with great interest.

Chairman of the jury: Martin Scorsese;

Members of the jury: Alan Connor, Chiara mastoyani, Chen Kaige, Lina Olin... A total of 9 people, with outstanding filmmakers from all over the world.

"Oh, the chairman of this jury is Martin Scorsese?" Zucker let out a cry of surprise.

Martin Scorsese, 56, is an Italian American director, screenwriter, producer and actor. He enjoys a high reputation all over the world.

In 1976, at the age of 34, he directed the crime movie taxi driver and won the Palme d'Or at the 29th Cannes International Film Festival;

In 1985, he made the black comedy after work and won the best director award of the 39th Cannes International Film Festival;

In 1990, he directed the gangster film "good guy" and won the best director of the 47th Venice International Film Festival;

And in the 21st century, even in Hollywood, he has won many awards.

In 2002, he won the Golden Globe Award for best director;

In 2006, he won the Oscar for best director;

At the same time, he made movies in Hollywood and cooperated with many top Hollywood actors.

For example, in 2001, he cooperated with Lewis, little plum, Cameron Diaz and others in the film New York gangster;

In 2005, the American version of Infernal Affairs, which is cooperated with little Li Zi and Matt Damon, is also called "the infernal Walker";

Well, in fact, little Li is going to be Martin Scorsese's best actor.

There are a lot of films that they cooperate with!

In addition to the New York gangster and the infernal wanderer, there are also the aviator, the island of confinement, the wolf of Wall Street, the cast of the cast, and so on.

Needless to say, even today's Martin Scorsese is one of the top directors in Hollywood and even in the world!

"Comrade Martin is still very good. We can talk more with her at the reception tonight. Maybe we will have a chance to cooperate in the future." Zucker couldn't help sighing.

It is certain that there will be involvement between film companies and top directors.

"Why?"

"Unexpectedly, Comrade Chen, who shot farewell my concubine, was also one of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival?"

That's right. That's what Zucker didn't think of.

Of course, in today's position, Zhuke won't kneel down and lick so and so. Can't you see that Nolan and Zach Schneider, the two future gods, are living with Zhuke now?

At last, Zhuke watched the list of films in the short film competition unit and the film cornerstone award of this film festival.

"Good guy, there are so many films competing in the first short film competition?" Zucker was surprised.

In fact, anyone else would be surprised.

This year's film festival short film competition unit, well, is also the first film festival short film competition unit. There are more than 1600 works from Asia, North and South America and Europe. However, only 16 excellent works have won the chance to be shown during the film festival.

Elimination ratio, high frightening!

As for Zhu Ke's "tuner", of course, it's a chance to show 16 excellent works.

......

That night.

When Zhuke appeared at the reception, he was interviewed by many reporters from all over the world.

The excessive enthusiasm of the reporters really shocked many invited movie people!

"Who is he?"

"He's a movie star in that country. Why haven't I met him?"

"George, you don't know. I'm curious, too."

"Yes, I haven't heard of any famous stars today?"

"We don't know this young man, but hundreds of media reporters at the scene seem to know him!"

One by one, people from all over the world who have been invited to make movies have been talking about it with curiosity.

No wonder they are curious. Many of them are directors, producers, screenwriters and other behind the scenes workers. Apart from becoming world-famous guys, no one can enjoy the opportunity of the media to chase them. For a moment, they felt sour.

"Tut tut ~!"

At this time, a senior screenwriter from Hollywood said to the audience, "don't you usually watch TV news and newspapers? Zucker Wald is a well-known billionaire in the United States. He is also a screenwriter of famous films such as Lola Run, Juno and the sixth sense. He is also the boss of Wald pictures, a production company

The voice fell, and the people around were immediately shocked.

"True or false?" A young director was stunned.

"Ha ha! Do you think it's fake that so many journalists are chasing after each other now? " The senior Hollywood playwright scoffed.

For a moment, the people around were a little angry.

People are more popular than people, goods are better than goods!

As a young man, how can you show yourself?!

At the same time, they listen to the words of Zhuke's reply to the media reporters, and they are even more envious!

"What?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't talk about money with me!"

"It's true that I'm a rich man with a fortune of over 1 billion, but I really don't like money, I've never touched money, and I don't know how much money I can make in a day. Remember, I'm just an ordinary director. "

"Yes," tuner "is my second and first short film directed by myself. You can come and have a look at it then. Well, it's OK to criticize. Let's talk more. "

"Hello, which media are you from? What do you mean that I am already a famous director and should not take part in the short film competition to bully these young directors? "

"I'm only 21 years old. Am I not a young director?"

"I tell you, you have to tell the truth, or I'll sue you. Believe me, I have the economic strength! "

In the face of a large number of media reporters, Zhuke talked with open heart.

A group of reporters: "the

A crowd of filmmakers

You are not a bully. You are a well-known screenwriter who has directed "Lola Run", a film director who has won $100 million in the European market alone, and has launched many blockbuster films in succession. How shameless you are to compete with us for the short film competition unit?!

A lot of people are speechless.

However, Zhuke did not violate any rules of competition and evaluation, which made many people extremely helpless.

A young director from Australia blurted out on the spot: "how can we play with NIMA?"

"The first watch" is presented.
