Chapter 175

May 11, afternoon.

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

"Boss, this is a dinner invitation from Cannes Film Festival Chairman Jill Jacob. The invitation letter states that this is a welcome reception from filmmakers from all over the world before the opening of the film festival." Alexander took on the role of assistant.

Zhu Ke knew it and immediately raised the invitation letter in Nolan, "Man, do you want to have a drink together and see filmmakers from all over the world?"

Hearing this, Nolan shook his head.

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

Christopher Nolan actually wanted to attend the cocktail party. He is a new director now. He is not famous. It is definitely a good thing to be more knowledgeable, but he has his own pride and persistence. He does not want to attend the welcome cocktail party as an affiliate of the invitation. What he wants is a formal invitation for him, Christopher Nolan himself.

"Okay, then you can rest early tonight."

Zhuke didn't say anything comforting or comforting, he was an adult. If he couldn't even adjust this, Nolan wouldn't have made such a big name in the future.

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

"Boss, this is the relevant list of the jury of the 51st Cannes Film Festival." Alexander respectfully handed out a document.

Before the evening party started, Zhu Ke watched with interest.

Chair of the Jury: Martin Scorsese;

Jury members: Alan Conno, Chiara Mastroyani, Chen Kaige, Lina Olin... There are 9 people in total, and they are outstanding filmmakers from all over the world.

"Oh, the chairman of this jury is actually Martin Scorsese?" Zucker couldn't help but exclaimed.

Martin Scorsese, 56 years old, is an Italian-American director, screenwriter, producer, and actor. He enjoys a high reputation worldwide.

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

In 1985, he filmed the black comedy "After get off work" and won the Best Director Award at the 39th Cannes International Film Festival;

In 1990, he directed the gangster movie "Good Guy" and won the Best Director of the 47th Venice International Film Festival;

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

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 is shooting movies in Hollywood, and he has collaborated with many top Hollywood actors.

For example: In 2001, he collaborated with Lewis, Little Plum, Cameron Diaz and others on the movie "The New York Gangster";

In 2005, the American version of "Infernal Affairs" collaborated with Little Plum and Matt Damon, well, "The Walker of the Spot";

Well, in fact, Little Little Little is almost becoming the official actor of Martin Scorsese.

There are a lot of movies that the two have collaborated on!

In addition to "The Gangster of New York" and "The Walker", there are also "The Flyer", "Shut Island", "Wolf of Wall Street", "Casting Storm", etc.

To put it bluntly, even Martin Scorsese is the top director in Hollywood and even the world!

"Comrade Martin is still very good. You can talk to her at the cocktail party tonight. Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Zhuke couldn't help but sigh.

There will inevitably be involvement between a film company and a top director, which is certain.

“Huh?”

"I didn't expect that Comrade Chen, who filmed "Farewell My Concubine", was also one of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival?"

That's right, this is something Zhuke didn't expect.

Of course, with Zhuke's current status, he would not kneel down and lick XXX. Wouldn't you see the two future masters, Nolan and Zach Schneider, who are now making a living with Zhuke?

Finally, Zucker watched the list of participating movies for the short film competition unit and the cornerstone awards of this film festival.

"Good guy, there are so many movies participating in the first short film competition unit?!" Zhu Ke was surprised.

In fact, anyone would be surprised.

This film festival short film competition unit, well, is also the first film festival short film competition unit. There are more than 1,600 works from Asia, North and South America and Europe participating in the election, but only 16 excellent works have been awarded the opportunity to be screened during the film festival.

The elimination rate is so high!

As for Zhu Ke's "The Tuner", of course, he has the opportunity to be screened in 16 masterpieces.

......

That night.

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

The over-enterprise of the reporters really shocked many of the invited films!

"who is he?"

"He is a movie star in that country, why haven't I seen him?"

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

"Yes, haven't you heard of big-name stars attending today?"

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

The films from all over the world who were invited to come were curious and started to talk.

It’s no wonder they are curious. Many of them are directors, producers, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes film workers. Except for becoming world-renowned guys, no one can enjoy the opportunity of media pursuing them. For a moment, they felt sour.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~!"

At this moment, a senior screenwriter from Hollywood said disdainfully to everyone present: "Don't you usually watch TV news and newspapers? Juke Wald, a famous billionaire in the United States, the screenwriter of well-known movies such as "Rola Run", "Juno", "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural", and is also the owner of the production company Wald Pictures."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him was shocked immediately.

"Really or not?" a young director said in a daze.

"Haha! So many reporters are rushing to pursue you now. Do you think it's fake?" The senior Hollywood screenwriter sneered.

For a moment, everyone around him felt a little disappointed.

People are so angry that they are so angry that they have to throw away the goods!

Being both young people, how can you show off?!

At the same time, they listened to Zucker's answers to the media reporters, and they were even more envious and jealous!

"What?"

"Everyone, please don't talk to me about money!"

"I'm a billionaire with a net worth of over 1 billion, but I really don't like money, and I haven't touched it, and I don't know how much money I can make in a day. Remember, I'm just an ordinary director."

"Yes, "The Tuner" is my second film directed by myself and the first short film. You can come and have a look at it at that time. Well, it's okay to make criticisms, so let's communicate more."

"Hey hey, which media reporter are you? What do you mean by me as a well-known director? Shouldn't you participate in the short film competition unit to bully these young directors?!"

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

"I tell you, you have to report it truthfully, otherwise don't blame me for suing you. Believe me, I have the financial strength!"

Zhuke talked happily against a group of media reporters.

A group of reporters: "......"

A group of filmmakers: "......"

You said you were not bullying. You are a well-known screenwriter who has directed "Running Lola", a movie director who has won $100 million in the European market alone, and has launched many popular movies in succession. He shamelessly competed with us for the short film competition unit. How dare you say it is not shameless?!

Many people were speechless.

However, Zucker did not violate any of the competition rules, which made many people extremely helpless.

A young director from Australia blurted out on the spot: "How can we play this?"

The first update of "" is given.
