A group of reporters gathered around Zhang Ke, and these anxious reporters had already thought of the headline of tomorrow's news in their hearts.

"Shock! The International Film Festival is in shady! ”

"Director Zhang Ke suspects that the film festival has shady operations!"

"Tragic Heroes...... Director Zhang Ke once again returned home at the Cannes Film Festival! ”

In short, what these reporters have to do now is to be able to lure Zhang Ke out of his mouth to say these words of shady operation.

As long as he dares to say these words, these reporters will not hesitate to add all kinds of thrilling and eye-catching headlines, and will unceremoniously crown their guesses as "Director Zhang Ke thinks".

You must know that ordinary people are most interested in things like shady operations and secret operations - of course, the premise of this interest is that they are not the protagonists in this incident.

In addition, Zhang Ke has a great reputation in the film circle of Huaxia, such a celebrity has also been "operated in the dark", I believe that the vast majority of the people will be curious.

These unscrupulous reporters have a look of righteous indignation on their faces, as if they are fighting for themselves, but he can be sure that if he follows their words, these enthusiastic friends who are "fighting for themselves" will betray themselves as soon as they turn around.

"I'm sorry, no comment!"

Zhang Ke pushed a reporter away in disgust, this guy was so excited that he almost poked the microphone in his hand into his mouth, "What is the truth, I believe everyone will know it." ”

Zhang Ke knew in his heart that if he said that he had secretly wanted to operate or something, then in the next film festival, it is estimated that he would not even have a chance to be shortlisted...... These foreign judges, their hearts are so small-minded that they can be compared with embroidery needles, and the so-called nonsense of foreign friends such as sincerity, kindness, and democracy is almost the same as being used to deceive three-year-old children.

Zhang Keke knows that these foreigners, who let democracy go every day, in fact, will not have anything to do with these two words.

"Director Zhang Ke, what do you mean by this that there is a shady scene?"

Since Zhang Ke refused to admit it, these reporters had to find ways to induce Zhang Ke to speak out.

"I'm sorry, I didn't understand you, I didn't say there was a shady scene." Zhang Kecai will not be fooled by him, and resolutely refuses to admit it, "The Cannes Film Festival is a film festival that pays great attention to fairness and justice, and I believe that these judges uphold this principle in the awarding of every award......

Naturally, he wouldn't mind using these words to disgust some of the judges who pay attention to "fairness".

"Director Zhang Ke, since you think it is fair, just and open, what do you mean by what you said when you came to the stage to accept the trophy on your behalf?"

Naturally, these reporters would not let go of this big news so easily, and they asked relentlessly behind Zhang Ke.

"It's not interesting."

Zhang Ke shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you think it means anything, then, what does it mean, I'm sorry, please let me go." With that, he squeezed away the fly-like reporters beside him and strode out of the venue.

……

"It was a really frustrating awards ceremony."

Back in the hotel where he was staying, facing his good friend, Zhang Ke couldn't help but complain.

"Hehe, Director Zhang, it seems that you still can't let go of this award for best director in your heart." Sitting face to face with Zhang Ke was a middle-aged man in his forties, with messy hair and glasses.

"Nonsense, you are the director who knows me." Zhang Ke lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, sighed and said: "My biggest goal is to win the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival...... Not for anything else, just to breathe a bad breath. ”

"The Cannes Film Festival has been held for more than 20 consecutive years, and it is held every year, but in the past 20 years, no Chinese has been able to win the award of Best Director."

"I don't believe that those foreigners with blue eyes and high noses can win this award, while we Chinese people can't win this award?"

Zhang Ke said, and couldn't help but slap the table hard. There was a clang.

"Hehe, Director Zhang, stop being angry, stop being angry." The middle-aged man known as Director Wang nodded, he could understand Zhang Ke's mood, indeed, the phenomenon Zhang Ke said was almost about to become a strange image of the Cannes Film Festival.

But knowing that the judges are all foreigners, many times, these judges are not excluded, and they reach a consensus in private to exclude Chinese people.

Some people may say, isn't it just the title of the best director? Is it that important?

In fact, this title is quite important!

To take the simplest example, after a director finds a good script, the first thing he has to do is not to find actors, but to find investors.

At this time, fame, which is something that cannot be seen or touched, plays a great role.

A newly debuted director who has no fame, even if his script is good, will not be favored by investors, and will only run into walls everywhere, begging grandpa and grandma everywhere, until the head is broken and bleeding, there will be no result.

And the reason for the investor's refusal is also very simple, you don't have any movies to prove your ability, why did you ask me to invest in you with real money? Is it just your mouth?

In these years, even if it is a literary film with the smallest investment, the amount of investment will not be less than five million, will that person have the courage to throw millions to an unknown director to make a movie?

And if it is a big-name director, things are naturally very simple, because if he has achievements there, investors will become happy when investing, and those directors who often win various awards in the world don't even need to find investors to invest.

On the contrary, it is often the investors who bring the money to beg these big-name directors to accept their investment, hoping to get a share of the box office of the next blockbuster movie.

No way, capital is very realistic.

Only directors who are famous and have won awards can sometimes shoot something that they want to shoot in their hearts.

"These foreign judges are too much!"

Under Director Wang's persuasion, Zhang Ke's anger subsided slightly, but between the words, his indignation could still be seen.

"No way, after all, people have the rules." Director Wang smiled bitterly, and then he said: "Actually, I think this is an opportunity. ”

"Opportunity?"

Hearing Director Wang's words, Zhang Ke was stunned, looked at him suspiciously, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's simple." Director Wang smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Imagine that although you didn't explicitly say that there is a shady scene at this year's awards party tonight, those reporters who are afraid that the sky will not fall will not let go of this hot news." ”

"They're going to try to find all sorts of hints, report on the news that this year's festival is shady, and then wonder if the Festival de Cannes is really as fair, open and impartial, as they say. This will definitely put some pressure on the organizers. ”

"In this way, as long as you can continue to make a box office hit this year, then at next year's film festival, if the award for Best Director is not given to you, wouldn't it really confirm the existence of shady scenes?"

Hearing Director Wang's words, Zhang Ke's eyes suddenly lit up, slapped his thigh fiercely, and said, "You are right. ”

But then, Zhang Ke's brows furrowed again, sighed, and said: "Brother, it's not like you don't know, it's too difficult to make a popular movie." It's not something you can shoot if you want to. ”

"Hehe, brother, of course I know the difficulty here." Director Wang smiled, with a confident posture, and said: "But don't forget, you have a trump card in your hand!" He bit the word trump card very hard.

"Trump? What trump card? Zhang Ke was confused and confused.

"Brother, what are you pretending to be?" When Director Wang saw him, he pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "We two brothers, and we are not outsiders, are you still so outsider?" ”

"No, brother, I really don't know, what is the trump card you are talking about?" Zhang Ke hurriedly explained.

"It's my cousin!" Director Wang saw that Zhang Ke really didn't seem to be pretending, so he said: "In the Huaxia National Film Festival, who doesn't know that you have the strongest relationship with your cousin?" By the way, there is also Mu Yanbing, as long as you can say that these two new actors and actresses are cooperating, the box office will definitely be proper, and there will be no problem at all. ”

"If you find another good screenwriter, then, I believe that at next year's Cannes Film Festival, who else can the award for Best Director be given to besides you?"

After listening to his words, Zhang Ke understood what Director Wang meant, and in all fairness, Director Wang's suggestion really made Zhang Ke moved.

As the saying goes, don't fight for steamed buns!

Originally, this film festival carried the box office results and popularity of the movie You Are My Love, but Zhang Keke came here with great ambition, but it was a pity that he was handed over a basin of cold water in front of him.

Zhang Keke is a high-minded and arrogant person, where can he stand this anger?
