After the premiere of Inglourious Basterds, Harvey Weinstein throws a celebratory party, and Duke arrives at the hotel where the party is taking place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's a fun movie."

Across from Quentin Restino, Duke was also impressed by the guy's idea, "especially at the end of the film." ”

In contrast to the style in which the film is made, Quentin Taskino is a slick and human director, and he immediately says, "This is the Jewish counterattack I imagined, and even though I made up all the stories, this is the ending I wanted." ”

Harvey Weinstein kept laughing, and Duke nodded slightly.

Brad Pitt on the other side said in a timely manner, "At that time, Quentin came to me alone and chatted for several hours, and I felt like I was being drunk by him, and I put on my military uniform a month later. ”

He then said to Duke, "You know, Duke, there is a golden saying in Cannes that 'Fury Road' is a play between wild rock and an opera, and I can't get any better at watching the whole film!" How do you do it? ”

Smiling, Duke said, "It's one of the original concepts of the film, it's up to you to keep the chase and then add enough stuff along the way." Editing a film is a lot of work, you need to find its inner melody, and once you've got the beat, you can't let up any more – you have to hold on to it all the way, and it takes a bit of skill to stuff things into it. ”

Brad Pitt nodded solemnly and said, "I really hope we can have a chance to work together." ”

"Yes." Duke replied with a polite remark.

Quentin Taskino and Brad Pitt went elsewhere for socializing, but Harvey Weinstein didn't, a seasoned businessman who seemed to have something to say to Duke.

Wait until there is no one around. The big fat Jewish man suddenly said, "Duke, I was on the phone with Robert Rodriguez last night and heard the news that a woman is trying to get the judges to target you for Fury Road. ”

There is nothing in his words that mean to sell well.

"Thank you!" Duke nodded slightly. "I know that."

In fact, so far in the Cannes Film Festival, all the films participating in the competition have been unveiled, but compared to the surprise brought by the opening of "Fury Road", the rest of the films have received an extremely average response in both the media and the audience.

But the awards of the film festival cannot be concentrated on a single film, and the style of the three major European film festivals is far more obvious than the Oscars.

In a large conference room, the jury of this year's film festival gathered. The issue of the award was being discussed.

Among them, there is a dispute over the ownership of the Palme d'Or, as in every edition.

"I think 'Fury Road' is the most appropriate, it's the most popular film during the festival."

Robert Rodriguez is a clear supporter of Hollywood films, "This is a particularly typical visual film, its story rests on its pictures, and its pictures have two words of essence - convinc!" ”

"But it has too little drama. No connotation! The British playwright Hanif Qureshi suddenly said lukewarmly on the side, "This kind of film from beginning to end is simply synonymous with bad movies." ”

"Hmph......" Robert Rodriguez sneered disdainfully. Then he said, "Too little drama? No connotation? The bones in this egg are really not very picky. The purpose of the movie is to attract attention, Duke wants to be so brain-dead that he adds more drama or something, I estimate that there will be a lot of scolding in movie theaters all over the world! ”

Hanif Kuresi wanted to say something again, but was stopped by Isabelle Huppert raising her hand, and she said directly. "I think 'Fury Road' is a perfect fit."

She is the president of the jury, and although she can't decide the award in one word, if she really wants to promote the film, no one else can stop her.

What's more, everyone knows that she is a feminist.

Isabel Huppert made her statement clear. Hanif Qureshi closed his mouth, and most people stopped talking.

Sitting next to the conference table, Natalie Portman's eyes flickered, in order to achieve her goal, she used to run between the judges in private, but now it is such a result, which makes her very unwilling.

"I don't think it's appropriate!" She slowly reminded, "Have you all forgotten that film festivals should take artistry as the most basic criterion, and I don't see any artistry in a superficial film like "Fury Road". ”

Hearing this, Robert Rodriguez couldn't help but glance at Natalie Portman in surprise, in Hollywood, Jews are famous for their love of grouping, especially when dealing with external forces, and many times maintain consistency, such as the banning of Mel Gibson and other events, and Duke Rosenberg and Natalie Portman can be said to be two very famous Jews in Hollywood......

What is this woman going to do? He couldn't help frowning slightly.

Everyone has selfish intentions and their own positions, and Robert Rodriguez is no exception, and in addition to being a movie from Hollywood, "Fury Road" has a style that is unusually in line with his appetite.

He immediately asked, "Miss Portman thinks even if a movie is more suitable for the Palme d'Or?" ”

Natalie Portman glanced at Isabelle Huppert and said, "The White Ribbon shows the darkness caused by the hypocrisy of human nature, a metaphor for the origins of German fascism and the direction of history thereafter. ”

With that, she looked at Isabelle Huppert again.

Isabelle Huppert was also a little hesitant and did not speak immediately, and this was the end of the discussion, which did not produce an answer to the Palme d'Or.

After the meeting was dismissed, the other judges left one after another, Natalie Portman deliberately left behind, and when Isabelle Huppert, who had finished packing up the materials, was about to leave, she suddenly stood up and walked over.

"Is there something wrong?" Isabelle Huppert asked, looking at her.

Natalie Portman smiled kindly and said, "I've been told not to forget who the director of 'The White Ribbon' is." ”

Isabelle Huppert was silent, how could she have forgotten that the director of this film was Michael Haneke, who was kind to her.

Seeing the other party's expression, the smile on Natalie Portman's face deepened, and Shi Shiran turned around and walked out of the conference room.

She remembers very clearly that Michael Haneke won the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for "The Piano Teacher", and even put Isabelle Huppert, the president of this year's jury, on the throne of the actress in one fell swoop.

Back in her room, sitting on the couch and closing her eyes, Natalie Portman couldn't help but think of some of the scenes she had seen with Duke, who not only had the glossy shell she had covered herself with, but had also tossed her aside like trash after having a substantial relationship with her.

Want to take the Palme d'Or? It's not that simple!

It is true that one is not popular with everyone, and the same is true within Hollywood.

The fanatical reflection of "Fury Road" in the media has been directly fed back to various fan groups, because it will not be released until the day of the month, North American fans have undoubtedly been whetted by the crazy hype of the media, and after the official launch of ticket reservations in North American theaters, the amount of pre-sales has soared.

This, of course, causes some concerns.

"Just got the news......"

In the office, an assistant reported to David Ellison, "The pre-sale of 'Fury Road' has reached $10,000!" ”

David Ellison frowned and asked, "What about our Adventures in Tintin?" ”

The assistant glanced at him, and then said cautiously, "No...... Less than 10,000 dollars ”

The brow furrowed even deeper, David Ellison knew what he had to do, the current pre-sale of "Fury Road" for 10,000 dollars was really nothing compared to "Transformers" and "The Dark Knight", but it was quite scary for an R-rated film.

What's more, it is also far ahead of its own investment in "The Adventures of Tintin".

Some time ago, Spielberg politely declined some of his requests, and it was clear that this old Jewish man could compete head-on with Dukr Rosenberg, but he didn't want the competition to break through their own bottom lines.

Spielberg just cooperated with the normal publicity and distribution, and if he wanted to do more, David Ellison still had to rely on himself.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Increase public relations with the media, in addition to continuing to promote "The Adventures of Tintin", let them focus on "Fury Road" is a feminist movie!" ”

The assistant was not stupid either, and immediately understood David Ellison's intentions and said, "I'll ask the PR department to contact the relevant media." ”

David Ellison has already asked someone to watch this film, in fact, the feminist color in it is not particularly strong, nor is it very offensive, but some organizations are always blind and aggressive, as long as they are bewitched to a certain extent, they can always do some irrational behavior.

It is true that the feminist movement is on the rise today, but the opposition is still strong, and it is questionable how many men in this world really support the feminist movement, as long as it can arouse the disgust of the male group, the audience of this film will inevitably shrink further.

As for the Cannes Palme d'Or, he has no network in the European film industry, and basically has no influence, but fortunately, the Palme d'Or does have an impact on North America, but the influence is not particularly large, and the overseas market should be more worried about in this regard.

However, David Ellison is well aware that with the strength of Sky Studios, the overseas influence is too weak, and he can only share the winner with Dukr Rosenberg in the North American market.

Besides, the other party has never been to attract the European film industry, and may not be able to win the Palme d'Or. (To be continued.) )
