Hollywood starts with animation

May 11, afternoon.

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

"Boss, this is a dinner invitation from Jill Jacobs, chairman of the Cannes Film Festival. The invitation letter states that this is a welcome reception for a group of filmmakers from all over the world before the opening of the festival." Alexander was very nice. Acted as an assistant.

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

Hearing this, Nolan shook his head.

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

Christopher Nolan actually wanted to go to the reception. He is a new director at the moment. He is not well-known. It must be a good thing to have more knowledge, but he has his own pride and persistence.He didn't want to attend the welcome reception as an affiliate of the invitation. What he wanted was a formal invitation to Christopher Nolan himself.

"Well, then you rest early tonight."

Zhu Ke didn't say some words of comfort and encouragement. He was an adult. If he couldn't even adjust this, Nolan would not make a big name in the future.

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

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

Before the evening reception had begun, Zhu Ke looked at it with interest.

Chairman of the Jury: Martin Scorsese;

Jury members: Alan Kono, Chiara Mastroiani, Chen Kaige, Lena Olin... 9 people in total, who are excellent filmmakers from all over the world.

"Oh, the chairman of this jury is Martin Scorsese?" Zhuke couldn't help but let out a startled suspicion.

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 film "Taxi Driver" and won the Palme d'Or at the 29th Cannes International Film Festival;

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

In 1990, directed the gangster movie "Good Guy" and won the best director at the 47th Venice International Film Festival;

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

In 2002, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director;

In 2006, won the Oscar for Best Director;

At the same time, he is shooting movies in Hollywood, and his co-actors are also among the top first-line actors in Hollywood.

For example: In 2001, he collaborated with Lewis, Xiao Lizi, Cameron Diaz and others in the movie "New York Gangs";

In 2005, the US version of "Infernal Affairs" in collaboration with Xiao Lizi and Matt Damon, well, that is, "Infernal Affairs";

Well, in fact, Xiao Lizi is almost becoming Martin Scorsese's queen actor.

There are so many movies that the two have worked together!

In addition to "New York Gangs" and "Infinite Walker", there are also "Aviator", "Closed Island", "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Casting Storm" and so on.

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

"Old Comrade Martin is still very good. You can chat with her more at the cocktail party tonight. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Zhu Ke could not help but sigh.

There is bound to be involved between film companies and top directors, which is for sure.

"what?"

"Unexpectedly, the old Comrade Chen who filmed "Farewell My Concubine" turned out to be one of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival?"

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

Of course, with Zhuke's status today, he would not kneel and lick so-and-so, don't you see Nolan and Zach Schneider, two future gods, are they all eating with Zhuke now?

Finally, Zhu Ke took a look at the short film competition unit and the film cornerstone awards of this year's film festival.

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

In fact, anyone would be surprised if they changed.

The short film competition unit of this year's film festival, well, is also the first film festival short film competition unit. More than 1,600 works from Asia, North and South America and Europe participated in the selection. However, only 16 excellent works were given the opportunity to be shown during the festival.

The elimination ratio is very high!

As for Zhu Ke's "Tuner", of course, it was a chance to enter the screening of 16 excellent works.

......

That night.

When Zhu Ke appeared at the reception, he was interviewed by many journalists from all over the world.

The excessive enthusiasm of the reporters really shocked many filmmakers who were invited!

"Who is he?"

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

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

"Yes, I haven't heard of any big celebrities attending today?"

"None of us know this young man, but the hundreds of media reporters at the scene seem to know him!"

One by one, the invited filmmakers from all over the world began to talk about it under curiosity.

No wonder they are curious. Many of them are directors, producers, screenwriters and other film workers behind the scenes. Apart from becoming world-renowned guys, no one can enjoy the opportunity to be sought after by the media.For a while, they felt sour.

"Tsk tut~!"

At this moment, a senior screenwriter from Hollywood said disdainfully at the audience: "You don't usually watch TV news and newspapers? Zhuke Wald, the famous American billionaire, "Lola Fast "Run", "Juneo", "The Sixth Sense of Supernatural" and other well-known film screenwriters, and the owner of the production company Wald Pictures."

When the voice fell, everyone around was immediately shocked.

"Really?" A young director asked dumbfounded.

"Haha! Now so many journalists are vying to pursue it, do you think it is fake?" the senior Hollywood screenwriter snorted.

For a while, everyone around was a little distressed.

People are more popular than people, and you have to shop around!

As a young man, Ru He Xiu?!

At the same time, they listened to Zhu Ke's answers to the media reporters' words, and they were even more envy and hatred!

"what?"

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

"I am a rich man with a net worth of over 1 billion, yes, but I really don't like money, I have never touched money, let alone how much money I can make in a specific day. Remember, I am just an ordinary director. "

"Yes, "Tuner" is the second film I personally directed, and it is also the first short film. You can come and watch it by then. Well, it's okay to criticize, let's talk more."

"Hey hey, which media reporter are you? What does it mean that I am already a well-known director, shouldn't I participate in the short film competition to bully these young directors?!"

"I am only 21 years old this year, am I not a young director?"

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

Zhu Ke talked freely in front of a group of media reporters.

The reporters: "......"

A crowd of filmmakers: "........"

You said that you are not a bully. You are a film director who has directed "Running Laura", a film director who won 100 million US dollars in the European market alone, and has launched many well-known screenwriters of big-selling movies. You brazenly follow We are competing in the short film competition unit, dare to say that we are not shameless?!

Many people are speechless.

However, Zhu Ke did not violate any of the competition and judging rules, and it made many people extremely helpless.

A young director from Australia blurted out on the spot: "How can Nima let us play?"
