Chapter 176 The hero of "The Destruction of the Empire"
The welcome reception was proposed by Jill Jacob, chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, chaired by Martin Scorsese, chairman of the jury committee, and jointly organized by the local government of Cannes.
Alan Conno, Chiara Mastroyani, Chen Kaige and other nine members of the jury committee of this year's film festival also appeared and attended.
Of course, directors, producers, filmmakers and celebrities from all over the world are also indispensable. They are the most attractive group and the survival of the Cannes Film Festival.
Especially film producers from all over the world are even more popular!
The Cannes Film Festival is still a commercial group. During the film festival every year, the transaction volume of film copyright transactions is as high as more than US$200 million.
Interests are the driving force that drives social development.
"Hi, Zhuke, it's really you!"
Just as Zhuke entered the cocktail party and watched, he heard someone calling his name.
When Zucker looked back, he was immediately happy, "Hi, Jordan! Old guy, I didn't expect that your dignified director of Paramount Overseas Distribution Department would appear at this Cannes Film Festival in person."
Meeting the old acquaintance Jordan was something that Zhuke had never thought of before.
Every year, during the Cannes Film Festival, it can attract representatives of film companies and film dealers from all over the world, but Jordan is different! He is now one of the top six Hollywood directors and director of Paramount Overseas Distribution Department.
A big shot with a high position and a powerful person!
Logically speaking, the representative attending the film festival should not be him, at most his deputy.
"hehe!"
Jordan held a glass of red wine and smiled at Zhuke: "You are a well-known American rich man who can come to Cannes with a condescending respect. Why can't a worker like me show up and attend?"
"Oh~ different, I'm here to participate!" Zhu Ke said seriously.
Suddenly, Jordan was stunned.
After Zhuke explained, he suddenly realized, "Sorry, man, I have been wandering in France, Italy, Germany and other countries recently, and have not returned to America. I don't know that you have picked up the guide again."
After a pause, he said, "Uh, by the way. Speaking of movies, your company's recent overseas release of "The Deadly Bend 2" has achieved a good box office. My God! The overseas box office record of $67 million is dozens of times the cost."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke looked at Jordan teasingly on the spot.
You sighed!
Isn’t it all your movies released overseas? Paramount is responsible for the release of them now, and you are the ones who are the ones who are in charge of them.
Of course, everyone is a scene person, so there is no need to expose it.
What can Zhuke do? Of course, it’s about business bragging!
"Old guy, wait a moment, I'll introduce you to some friends."
Jordan is a person with a hot personality. Without Zhuke's refutation, he flocked to the lively crowd.
Soon, Jordan led two old men, who were quite young, to Juke.
"Man, this is the famous Mr. Theo Angeropoulos!" Jordan introduced loudly.
Zhu Ke was immediately shocked and immediately saluted to the people.
"I'm glad to meet you, I'm Juke Wald, a new director."
no way!
Although Zhuke is very rich, he has a very high social status in America, but the person who comes is Theo Angeropoulos! Ordinary moviegoers may be unfamiliar with him, but you cannot have heard of this name for those who are involved in the film industry and those who make money in this industry.
Born in 1935, he is known as the number one person in Greek films!
During his decades of directorial career, he has created more than 20 films and won many awards at the three major film festivals of Berlin, Cannes and Venice. He is a senior director with honors.
"Man, you're too modest!"
"Where are you a new director?"
Jordan, who was standing by, smiled and said, "Mr. Angeropoulos, Mr. Juke Wald in front of you, is a famous genius director in Hollywood. His first film "Running Lola" directed by him won more than 14 million US dollars in North America and a box office of 130 million US dollars worldwide."
Upon hearing this, even Theo Angeropoulos, who is known as the "No. 1 Greek filmmaker", was very shocked at the moment.
"Sure, amazing, Mr. Wald, you are a genius!" Angeropoulos praised.
“I need to keep working hard wherever I am.”
At this moment, Zhu Ke, who was always as thick as a city wall, was extremely modest.
Jordan, who was standing by, acted as Zhu Chu again and said: "Not only that, Mr. Wald is also a screenwriter, producer, and film company owner. The movies written by him, such as "Juno" and "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" have achieved quite excellent box office results."
"Yeah?!"
Theo Angeropoulos, a little exaggerated.
Compared with the identity of director and the identity of the film company boss, he was even more shocked.
at the same time.
The old man who arrived with Theo Angeropoulos also looked at Juke with praise.
"Zuke, this is a Swiss national treasure-level actor - Mr. Bruno Gantz." Jordan introduced.
The two shook hands and praised each other.
"I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Gantz."
"I'm also very happy to meet you, an excellent young man."
Zhuke is very familiar with the name "Bruno Gantz". His starring "Under the Sky of Berlin" is even known as one of the hundreds of the best movies in Europe.
Well, he is not young anymore, he is 57 years old this year.
The movie audience and netizens of the Great Heavenly Dynasty may not have heard of this name, but the other movie he starred in is almost household name and is well-known all over the world.
——"The Destruction of the Empire"!
That's right, Bruno Gantz is the actor of the head of head Hitler in "The Destruction of the Empire" which is often spoofed, dubbed and played by netizens.
When the German Empire was about to fail, the head of state Hitler cursed his incompetent subordinates in the air-raid shelter, and the scene of roaring himself and several female waiters crying, were regarded as a classic shot by many netizens!
“Huh?”
At this moment, Zhuke couldn't help but think: "I can still create "The Destruction of the Empire"! I remember that in 2004, the announced shooting cost was only more than 13 million euros and less than 20 million US dollars, so it can be shot. Well, I just don't know if there are any problems with the script and copyright?"
In the following time, Zhuke, Jordan, and the two old men started to have a very harmonious conversation.
From the conversation, Zucker also analyzed the reason why Jordan appeared at this Cannes Film Festival himself.
The movie "Eternal and One Day" directed by Theo Angeropoulos and starring Bruno Gantz has entered the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival and will compete with a number of excellent films to compete with the Palme d'Or.
The copyright and global distribution rights of the film have been acquired by Paramount!
You said, as the head of Paramount's overseas distribution department, how could Jordan not appear at this film festival?
Once Eternity and Day wins the final Palme d’Or, Paramount will make more money!
Chapter completed!
