"Welcome to both, Mr. Wald, Mr. Nolan."

When Zhuke and the other two walked across the red carpet and planned to enter the venue directly, they were called by the host on the red carpet and had a simple chat.

The off-site host is a tan hairy woman under 30 years old. Villa Letovan is the head host of Paris TV and entertainment channel in France, and is well-known in France.

"Mr. Wald, according to statistics from the Audit Committee, the short film "Tunner" directed by you has achieved a total of 16,752 viewers during the biweekly Cannes Film Festival. This data is not only the movie with the largest number of viewers in this film festival, but also breaks the record of the largest number of viewers since previous film festivals. Do you have any thoughts?"

female host Villa Letovan asked with a smile.

"Thanks!"

Zhu Ke thanked: "As a young director, "Tunner has been able to receive so many audiences, I am grateful in addition to thanking me."

"Mr. Wald, "The Tuner" is currently the film with the highest reputation in the short film competition unit of this film festival. I believe that today it will definitely defeat all competitors and win the first prize in the unit without any pressure." said the female host.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ke shook his head immediately.

Damn!

This female host is not a good bird either!

This is not a congratulation to Zhuke, it is clearly digging a hole!

Although Westerners will unceremoniously admit that they are full of confidence in front of the group, looking at the three major European film festivals, the American Oscars, etc., almost no one dares to directly say that they will definitely win the award!

Why?

Because once the flag is set up, it fails, so embarrassing!

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

Haven't you seen that even the "tyrant on the set" James Cameron, a madman like him, who brought the film "Titanic" to break the film history record, participated in the 1998 Oscar, was he extremely modest in the face of media interviews before the results were unveiled?

Flag cannot be set up randomly!

"It's nothing to be humble now. Besides, I, Zhuke, are a very humble young man." Zhuke thought to himself.

The female host didn't ask for anything from Zucker, and immediately turned her attention to Christopher Nolan.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Nolan, and congratulate you on the movie "Deadly Bend 2" directed by you, which has received a global box office of US$120 million since its release." The host congratulated.

"Thanks!"

Nowadays, Nolan is still relatively shy and does not face the media in a relaxed manner.

"Director Nolan, "Memory Fragments" directed by you, has won the favor of many viewers with its brain-burning plot setting. Even a series of films that look at the main competition unit has outstanding results. I believe it will definitely stand out and win the grand prize." This time the host was not doing anything.

.........

After an hour.

Except for a few people absent, the guests invited to attend this Cannes Film Festival have basically come.

Logically speaking, a new director like Zucker and the first time attending the Cannes Film Festival, the seats arranged are very back, but this time Zucker is very front!

The third row.

Almost a golden position.

This is the charm of money!

In other words, if it weren't for Zucker's wealth of over one billion dollars and the boss of Wald Pictures, would the film festival organizer provide Zucker with such a high-level position?

The answer is certainly no.

"Hmph! Isn't it just that there is a lot of bad money? As for being so arrogant?" A young director in the back row couldn't help but become sour.

As soon as this said, it was immediately recognized by many people.

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

"That's right, he Juke Wald has directed a movie like "Running Rolla" with a global box office of over $100 million. Why do you think he still participates in the short film competition unit? Are you bullying?"

"Damn American!"

While these young directors are so sad, aren’t they just jealous of Zhuke?!

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

Of course, compared with previous movies like "Jakub" and "The Tuner" are more than just weaker!

Director Adam frowned tightly at this moment.

He felt that the possibility of defeating "The Tuner" was slim.

.........

really!

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

"The Sheep-Thieves" won the third place and won a prize of 7,500 euros;

"Jakub" won the second place and won a prize of 11,250 euros;

The first place is "The Tuner" directed by Zhuke!

As for the top prize of 15,000 euros, Zucker naturally didn't care much. The amount of the prize was not enough to recover the cost of filming "The Tuner".

The first, second and third place in the short film competition unit is very small after all, and it is the first, so there is no chance to speak on stage alone.

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

This directly caused the directors of the two films "The Sheep Stealing Thieves" and "Jakub" to collapse.

"Mr. Wald, congratulations!"

"Mr. Wald, I am a reporter for Cannes Biweekly. Can you give us a chance to interview?"

"Congratulations, Mr. Wald, you won the first title of the first short film competition and will always be famous at the Cannes Film Festival!"

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

A group of reporters gathered around to grab the headlines and suddenly started talking.

Of course, there are also many provocative reporters who say that Zhu Ke bullies the small for the big.

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

"Bully the small by the big one?"

"Guys, what are you kidding?! I, Juke Wald, won the top spot with my own strength. Do you say that bullying the small by bullying me by being a mockery of myself or look down on the young directors who also participated in the competition unit."

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

“Why donate?!”

"It's good for me to have money. I do charity every year, but this 15,000 euro is the prize I won. It has extraordinary significance and I will keep it."

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

Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you!

Not long after, Christopher Nolan won the award!

——Judge Award!

Although the value of this award is not as good as the Palme d'Or, Best Director Award, and Best Actor and Actress Award, there are several awards, equivalent to the second best film besides the Best Picture.

Christopher Nolan became famous with "Memory Fragments"!

After winning the award, Nolan enjoyed the process of being surrounded by the media. The haze of the award has been swept away for days. You should know that before the film festival opened, he did not receive an invitation to the party. It seemed nothing, but in fact he was worried!
Chapter completed!
