Hollywood Starts with Animation

This welcome reception was proposed by Jill Jacobs, chairman of the Cannes Film Festival, chaired by Martin Scorsese, chairman of the current jury, and co-hosted by the local government of Cannes.

Nine members of the jury committee of this film festival, including Alan Kono, Chiara Mastrojani, and Chen Kaige, also appeared in succession.

Of course, directors, producers, filmmakers and stars from all over the world are also indispensable. They are the most attractive group and the survival of the Cannes Film Festival.

Especially film dealers from all over the world and regions are even more popular!

The Cannes Film Festival is, after all, a commercial group. During the film festival every year, the turnover of film copyright transactions is as high as more than 200 million US dollars.

Interest is the driving force for social development.

"Hi, Zucker, it's really you!"

Just as Zhu Ke entered the reception site to watch, he heard someone calling his name.

Zucker looked back and was immediately amused, "Hey, Jordan! Old man, I didn't expect your dignified head of Paramount's overseas distribution department to actually show up at this Cannes Film Festival in person."

Meeting old acquaintance Jordan was something that Zucker never thought of before.

Every year, during the Cannes Film Festival, it can attract representatives from film companies and filmmakers from all over the world, but Jordan is different! He is now the director of overseas distribution for Paramount, one of Hollywood's Big Six.

The kind of big man with high power!

It stands to reason that the representative attending the film festival should not be him, at most his deputy.

"Ha ha!"

Holding a glass of red wine, Jordan smiled at Zucker: "A well-known rich man in the United States can condescend to come to Cannes. Why can't a part-time worker like me show up to attend?"

"Hey~ it's different, I'm here to compete!" Zu Ke said solemnly.

Suddenly, Jordan was dumbfounded.

After Zhu Ke explained it, he suddenly realized, "Sorry man, I have been traveling to France, Italy, Germany and other countries recently, and I didn't return to the United States. I don't know that you actually picked up the guide tube again."

After a pause, he added: "Uh, yes. Speaking of movies, your company's recent overseas release of "Fatal Bend 2" has achieved a good box office. My God! It has a total overseas box office of 67 million US dollars. The results are dozens of times the cost.”

Hearing this, Zucker looked at Jordan mockingly on the spot.

You sigh a ghost!

My family's movies are distributed overseas, aren't all of you Paramount responsible for the distribution, and you are also in charge of the motherfucker.

Of course, everyone is a scene person, and there is no need to expose it.

What can Zucker do? Of course, it's business blowing each other!

"Old man, wait a minute, I'll introduce some friends to you."

Jordan is a person with a flamboyant personality, and he did not allow Zucker to refute at the moment, so he rushed straight to the lively crowd.

Not long after, Jordan led two not-so-young old men to Zhu Ke.

"Man, this is the famous Mr. Theo Angelopoulos!" Jordan introduced loudly.

Zucker was immediately startled, and immediately saluted the people who came.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Zucker Wald, a rookie director."

no way!

Although Zucker is rich, yes, he has a very high social status in America, but the person here is Theo Angelopoulos! Ordinary movie audiences may be relatively unfamiliar with him, but for those who have devoted themselves to the film industry, and those who make a living in this line of work, it is impossible for you not to have heard this name.

Born in 1935, he is known as the first person in Greek cinema!

In his decades-long directing career, he has created more than 20 films and won many awards at three major film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice. He is a senior director full of honors.

"Man, you are too modest!"

"Where are you a new director?"

Jordan on the side laughed: "Mr. Angelopoulos,

Mr. Zucker Wald in front of you is a talented Hollywood director. His first film "Lola Run" won the North American box office of more than 14 million US dollars and the global box office of 130 million US dollars. . "

Hearing that, Rao is Theo Angelopoulos, who is known as "the first person in Greek cinema", and he is also very shocked at the moment.

"It's incredible, it's incredible, Mr. Wald, you are a genius!" Angelopoulos praised.

"Where, I still need to keep working hard."

At this moment, Zhu Ke, who has always been as thick as a city wall, was extremely modest.

Jordan, who was on the side, acted as Zhu Chui again and said: "Not only that, Mr. Wald is also a screenwriter, producer, and owner of a film company. He wrote the movies "Juno" and "The Sixth Sense" The film also achieved very good box office results.”

"yes?!"

Theo Angelopoulos, a little exaggerated.

Compared with his identity as a director, his identity as a film company boss shocked him even more.

at the same time.

The old man who came with Theo Angelopoulos also looked at Zuke with praise.

"Zuck, this is a Swiss national treasure actor - Mr. Bruno Ganz." Jordan introduced.

The two shook hands and complimented each other.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Gantz."

"I'm also very happy to meet you, excellent young man."

Zucker is very familiar with the name "Bruno Ganz", and his starring "Under the Berlin Sky" is regarded as one of the 100 best films in Europe.

Well, he is not too young, he is 57 years old this year.

Movie audiences and netizens of the Great Celestial Dynasty may not have heard of this name, but when it comes to another movie starring him, it is almost a household name and world-renowned.

- "The Destruction of the Empire"!

That's right, Bruno Ganz is the one who played Hitler, the Führer, in "The Destruction of the Empire", which is often spoofed, dubbed and played badly by netizens.

When the German Empire was about to fail, Hitler, the Führer, scolded his incompetent subordinates in the air-raid shelter, as well as the scene of extremely self-blame and roar, and the scene of several female waiters crying, which was regarded as a classic scene by many netizens!

"what?"

At this moment, Zucker couldn't help thinking: "I can still make "The Destruction of the Empire"! I remember that in 2004, the announced shooting cost of this film was more than 13 million euros, less than 20 million US dollars. The price is enough to shoot. Well, I just don’t know if there are any problems with the script and copyright?”

In the next time, Zucker, Jordan, and the two old people chatted very harmoniously.

From the dialogue, Zucker also analyzed the reason why Jordan appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in person.

The film "Eternity and a Day" directed by Theo Angelopoulos and starring Bruno Ganz has entered the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival and will compete with a number of outstanding films for the Palme d'Or.

The copyright and global distribution rights of the film have already been acquired by Paramount!

You said, as the head of Paramount's overseas distribution department, can Jordan not show up at this film festival?

Once Eternity and One Day wins the final Palme d'Or, Paramount will make even more money!

"Humph!"

At this moment, a cold hum came into Zu Ke's ears.

The second update of "" was sent. Today, several book friends gave a reward. The minister decided to open the third update.
