Chapter 188

"Welcome, Mr. ward, Mr. Nolan."

When Zhuke and his wife passed the red carpet and planned to enter the venue directly, they were called over by the host outside the red carpet and had a simple chat.

The off-site host is a brown haired woman less than 30 years old. Villa letovan is the host of Paris TV station and entertainment channel, and enjoys a high reputation in France.

"Mr. Wald, according to the statistics of the audit committee, during the two-week Cannes Film Festival, the short film" the tuner "directed by you has gained a total of 16752 audience; This figure is not only the film with the largest number of viewers in this film festival, but also breaks the record of the largest number of viewers since the previous film festivals. What do you think? "

Asked the hostess, villa letovan, with a smile.

"Thank you

"As a young director, I'd like to thank you for the love of so many audiences for" tuner, "he said

"Mr. Wald, the tuner is the most popular film in the short film competition unit of this film festival. I think today it will be able to beat all competitors and win the first prize of this unit without pressure." Said the hostess.

Smell speech, Zhu Ke shook his head for the first time.

fuck!

This hostess is not a good bird!

Where is this congratulations to Zhuke? It's obviously digging a hole!

Although Westerners will be rude to say that they are full of confidence in front of the group, looking at the three major film festivals in Europe, the Oscars in the United States and so on, almost no one dares to directly say that they will win!

Why?

Because once the flag is set up, it fails. What a shame!

Moreover, the next day's major media will certainly not miss this opportunity to ridicule!

Don't you see that even James Cameron, the "tyrant of the set", a madman who broke the film history record with Titanic, was extremely modest in the face of media interviews before the results were unveiled when he took part in the 1998 Oscar?

Flag can't stand in disorder!

"It's nothing to be modest now. Besides, I'm a very modest young man." Chuck thought to himself.

The hostess didn't get anything better here, when she turned her eyes to Christopher Nolan.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Nolan. I would like to congratulate the movie" fatal bend 2 "directed by you, which has won 120 million US dollars in the global box office since its release." The hostess congratulated.

"Thank you

Now Nolan is more shy, not facing the media in the future, just free and easy.

"Director Nolan, the memory fragment directed by you has won the favor of many audiences with its brain burning plot setting. Even a series of films in the main competition unit have achieved outstanding results. I believe it will stand out and win the grand prize." This time, the host is not using the moth.

.......

An hour later.

The guests invited to the Cannes Film Festival are almost all, except for a few who are absent.

In principle, for new directors like Zhuke and those who attend Cannes Film Festival for the first time, the seats are arranged at the back, but this time, Zhuke's position is very front!

Third row.

It's almost a golden position.

This is the charm of money!

In other words, if it wasn't for the fact that Zucker has a fortune of over a billion dollars and is the boss of Wald pictures, would the festival organizers provide Zucker with such a top position?

The answer is No.

"Well! Isn't there a few stinky money? As for such arrogance? " A young director in the back row couldn't help getting sour.

This remark was immediately recognized by many people.

"I won the first prize in the short film competition, but I got a prize of 15000 euro. Is that how to give it to the American tycoon?"

"That's right. He has directed a movie like" Lola Run ", which has a global box office of more than 100 million US dollars. Why does he still participate in the short film competition? You are not bullying people."

"Damn old beauty!"

These young directors are jealous of Zhuke when they are sad?!

Adam, a French director, directed Jakub, which has been shortlisted in the short film competition of this film festival, is a film with a strong appeal for prize.

Of course, "Jakub" is much weaker than Zhuke's "the tuner" and other films like Zhuyu's!

Adam, the director at the moment, frowned tightly.

He felt that there was little chance that he would beat the tuner.

.......

Sure enough!

The first list announced at the award ceremony of this film festival is the final ranking of the short film competition unit.

Sheep thief won the third place with a prize of 7500 euro;

Jakub came in second with a prize of 11250 euros;

First, it's "the tuner" directed by Zhuke!

As for the top prize of 15000 euros, Zhuke naturally didn't care much. The amount of the prize money is not enough to recover the cost of filming "tuner".

After all, the number one and the second runner up in the short film competition are very small, and it is the first time. Therefore, there is no chance to speak on the stage alone.

However, after receiving the cup, Zhuke was interviewed by dozens of reporters backstage.

This directly made the directors of the two films, goat thief and Jakub, lose their mind.

"Congratulations, Mr. Wald!"

"Mr. Wald, I'm a reporter for Cannes biweekly. Can you give us an exclusive interview?"

"Congratulations, Mr. Wald, you have won the first prize in the first short film competition, and you will stay in Cannes Film Festival forever!"

"Sir, as far as I know, Berlin Film Festival and Venice Film Festival will also set up short film competition units. Will you participate?"

A group of reporters gathered around to grab the headlines, and all of a sudden they started talking.

Of course, there are also some pungent reporters who say that Zhuke bullies the small with the big.

After winning the prize, Zhuke was in a good mood and answered their questions in a rare way.

"Bully the small with the big?"

"Are you kidding me, guys?"?! I, Zhuke Wald, won the first place with my own strength. Do you think that bullying the small with the big is ironic to me, or do you look down on those young directors who also participate in the competition unit? "

"Oh? Do you ask me if the 15000 euro will be donated to charity? "

"Why donate?"

"It's good that I have money. I do charity every year, but this 15000 Euro prize is my prize. It has a special meaning. I will keep it."

I'm kidding. Why do I have to donate the money I have won?

Don't do to others what you don't want!

It wasn't long before Christopher Nolan won!

——Jury award!

Although the gold content of the award is not comparable to the Palme d'Or, the best director award and the best actor and actress award, there are also several awards, which are equivalent to the second best film besides the best film.

Christopher Nolan became famous in the first world war with memory fragment!

After winning the prize, Nolan enjoyed the process of being surrounded by the media, and the haze of winning the prize in recent days was swept away. You know, before the opening of the film festival, he didn't receive the invitation to the reception. It didn't look like much, but in fact he was very upset!
