Chapter 183 Awards! Win!

"Welcome, Mr. Wald, Mr. Nolan."

When the two of them walked through the red carpet and were going to enter the venue directly, they were called by the off-site host of the red carpet to have a simple chat.

The off-site host is a brown-haired woman less than 30 years old, Villa Letovan, who is the head host of Paris TV and entertainment channel in France, and is well-known in France.

"Mr. Wald, according to the audit committee's statistics, the short film "The Tuner" directed by you received a total of 16,752 moviegoers during the two-week Cannes Film Festival; this data, not only It is only the most watched film in this film festival, and it also broke the record of the most watched film since the previous film festival. What do you think?"

Hostess Villa Letovan asked with a smile.

"thanks!"

Zucker thanked him: "The Tuner has won the love of so many audiences. As a young director, I am not only grateful but also grateful."

"Mr. Wald, "The Tuner" is currently the most popular film in the short film competition section of this film festival. I am sure it will be able to beat all the competitors today and win the top prize in this section without any pressure." The hostess said the man.

Hearing this, Zu Ke immediately shook his head.

Nima!

This female host is not a good bird!

Where is this congratulations to Zhu Ke, this is clearly digging a hole!

Although Westerners would bluntly admit that they are confident in front of the group, but looking at the three major film festivals in Europe, the Oscars in the United States, etc., almost no one dares to directly say that they will definitely win!

Why?

Because once it stands up, it turns out to be a failure, so embarrassing!

Moreover, the major media on the second day will definitely not miss this opportunity to ridicule!

Don't you see James Cameron, the "tyrant on the set", a madman like him, who brought the movie "Titanic" to break the film history and participated in the 1998 Oscars. Before the results were unveiled, he was interviewed by the media , is also extremely humble?

Can't stand up!

"It's nothing to be modest now, and besides, I am a very humble little boy," Zucker thought to himself.

The hostess didn't get anything good from Zucker, and immediately turned her attention to Christopher Nolan.

"First of all, congratulations to Mr. Nolan, and congratulations to the movie "Deadly Bend 2" directed by you, which has won a global box office of 120 million US dollars since its release." The hostess congratulated.

"thanks!"

Now Nolan is still relatively shy, and he didn't face the media, but just swayed freely.

"Director Nolan, "Memento" 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 definitely stand out. Get the grand prize." This time the host wasn't acting like a fool.

......

After an hour.

The guests invited to attend this year's Cannes Film Festival have basically all come, except for a small number of people who are absent.

It stands to reason that a rookie director like Zucker, who is participating in the Cannes Film Festival for the first time, is assigned a very back seat, but this time Zucker's position is very high!

Third row.

Almost a prime location.

That's the magic of money!

In other words, if it weren't for Zucker's billion-dollar net worth and the owner of Wald Pictures, would the festival organizers have given Zucker such a high-ranking position?

The answer is definitely not.

"Hmph! Isn't it just a few stinky money, as for being so arrogant?" A young director in the back row couldn't help but feel sour.

As soon as this statement came out, it was immediately recognized by many people.

"The first place in the short film competition, but there is a prize of 15,000 euros. Is it just for the rich American?"

"That's right, he has already directed "Lola Run", a movie with a global box office of more than 100 million US dollars, why do you say that he still participates in the short film competition unit, you are not bullying people. "

"Damn old beauty!"

While these young directors are sour, aren't they also jealous of Zucker? !

Adam, a French director, the film "Jakub" directed by him was shortlisted for the short film competition section of this film festival, and it is a film with a high demand for awards.

Of course, "Jakub" is completely weaker than previous films like Zucker's "The Tuner"!

At this moment, director Adam frowned tightly.

He feels that the possibility of defeating "The Tuner" is very slim.

......

really!

The first list announced at the awards ceremony of this year's film festival is the final ranking of the short film competition unit.

"The Sheep Thief" won third place and won 7,500 euros;

"Jakub" took second place and won 11,250 euros;

The first place, [Yuyou Reading] is "The Tuner" directed by Zu Ke!

As for the first prize of 15,000 euros, Zucker naturally doesn't care much. None of the prize money was enough to recoup the cost of filming "The Tuner."

The first, second, and third runner-up of the short film competition unit, after all, the attention is very small, and it is the first time. Therefore, there is no opportunity to speak on the stage alone.

However, after receiving the trophy, Zhu Ke was interviewed by dozens of reporters in the background.

This directly caused the director of the two films "The Sheep Thief" and "Jakub" to collapse.

"Mr. Wald, congratulations!"

"Mr. Wald, I'm a reporter for Cannes Bi-Weekly, can you give us a chance for an exclusive interview?"

"Congratulations, Mr. Wald, you won the first prize in the first short film competition, and you will definitely be named at the Cannes Film Festival forever!"

"Sir, as far as I know, the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival will also open short film competitions. Will you participate?"

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

Of course, there is no shortage of nit-picking reporters who say that Zhu Ke bullies the small.

After winning the award, Zhu Ke was in a very good mood, and answered several of their questions in a rare harmony.

"Bullying the small with the big?"

"Guys, what are you kidding?! I, Zucker Wald, won the first place by virtue of my own strength. When you say bullying the small, you are mocking me or looking down on those young directors who also participated in the competition unit. them."

"Oh? You ask me if the 15,000 euros will be donated to charity?"

"Why donate?!"

"It's good that I have money, and I do charity every year, but this 15,000 euros is the prize money I won. It has an extraordinary meaning and I will keep it."

Just kidding, why do I have to donate the money I won by myself?

Do unto others, do not impose on others!

It didn't take long for Christopher Nolan to win too!

- Jury Prize!

Although the gold content of this award is not comparable to the Palme d'Or, the Best Director Award, and the Best Actor and Actor Awards, it is also a number of awards, equivalent to the second best film after the best film.

Christopher Nolan became famous with "Memento"!

After winning the award, Nolan enjoyed the process of being surrounded by the media, and the haze of the award for the past few days was swept away. You must know that before the opening of the film festival, he did not receive the invitation letter for the reception.
