After the premiere of "Inglorious Bastard", Harvey Weinstein held a celebration party, and Duke also came to the hotel where the party was held.

“It’s a very interesting movie.”

Following Quentin Tastino, Duke also admired the guy's idea, "especially the end of the film."

Unlike the style of making the film, Quentin Tastino is a very sleek and knowledgeable director who knows how to deal with interpersonal relationships. He immediately said, "This is the Jewish fight back I imagined. Although all the stories were made up by me, this is the ending I hope."

Harvey Weinstein kept laughing next to him, and Duke nodded slightly.

Brad Pitt on the other side said in due time, "At that time, Quentin came to me alone and chatted for several hours. I was like he was filled with a soup, and I put on my military uniform a month later."

He then said to Duke, "Do you know, Duke, now there is a golden sentence in Cannes, saying that "Rampant Road" is a play between wild rock and an opera. I think this is simply not even more awesome! How did you do it?"

Smiling, Duke said, "This is one of the initial concepts of this film, it depends on whether you can keep chasing and then add enough things along the way. The editing of the film is a big job, and you need to find its inner melody, and then once you grasp the corresponding beat, you can't relax at all. You have to grab it all the way, and filling things in it also requires some skills."

Brad Pitt nodded solemnly and said, "I really hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate."

"There will be." Duke replied with a polite sentence.

Quentin Tastino and Brad Pitt went to socialites elsewhere, but Harvey Weinstein did not leave. He was an experienced businessman and seemed to have something to say to Duke.

When there was no one around, the Jewish fat man suddenly said, "Duke, I spoke with Robert Rodriguez last night and heard a message that a woman was trying hard to encourage the judges to target you "The Road of Furious".

His words meant to sell well.

"Thank you!" Duke nodded slightly. "I know all this."

In fact, since the Cannes Film Festival has been held, all the films participating in the competition unit have been unveiled. However, compared with the stunning surprise brought by "The Furious Road" at the opening, the other films have received extremely average responses, both in the media and in the audience.

However, in a certain movie where the awards of the film festival cannot be concentrated, the style of pork splitting in the three major European film festivals is much more obvious than that of the Oscars.

In a large conference room, the judges of this film festival gathered together and were discussing the issue of awards.

Among them, disputes arose in the ownership of the Palme d'Or, just like every session.

"I think "Rampage Road" is the most suitable, it is the most popular film during the festival."

Robert Rodriguez has a clear position to support the film from Hollywood. "This is a particularly typical visual movie. Its story is based on its pictures, and its pictures have the essence of two words to convince!"

"But there are too few literary dramas and no connotation!" British playwright Hanif Curresey suddenly said lukewarmly, "This kind of movie that hits from beginning to end is simply synonymous with bad movies."

"Hmph..." Robert Rodriguez sneered disdainfully at first, and then said, "There are too few literary dramas? There is no connotation? The bones in this egg are really not very good. The purpose of the movie is to attract attention. If Duke is really stupid, he will add more literary dramas or something. I guess there will be a lot of scolding in the cinemas all over the world!"

Hanif Curresy wanted to say something, but Isabel Yuppel raised his hand to stop her, and she said directly. "I think "Rampage Road" is very suitable."

She is the chairman of the jury. Although she cannot decide the award in one sentence, if she is determined to promote the movie, no one else can stop her.

Besides, everyone knows that she is a feminist.

After Isabel Yuper made a clear statement, Hanif Curesi shut his mouth and most people stopped talking.

Sitting next to the conference table, Natalie Portman's eyes flashed. In order to achieve her goals, she had run between the judges privately, but now she is the result, which makes her very unwilling.

"I think this is inappropriate!" she reminded slowly, "Have you all forgotten that the film festival awards should be based on artisticity as the most basic principle. I can't see any artisticity in a superficial film like "The Road of Furious".

Hearing this, Robert Rodriguez couldn't help but look at Natalie Portman in surprise. In Hollywood, Jews are famous for their love for grouping, especially when dealing with external forces. They often maintain consistency, such as the ban on Mel Gibson and other incidents, and Duke Rosenberg and Natalie Portman can be said to be two very famous Jewish people in Hollywood...

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

Everyone has selfishness and their own position, and Robert Rodriguez is no exception. In addition to being a Hollywood movie, "The Road of Furious" also has a very consistent style.

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

Natalie Portman glanced at Isabel Yuppel and said, "The White Ribbon shows the darkness caused by the hypocrisy of human nature, which is a metaphor for the origin of German fascism and the subsequent historical trend. This film is not only presented in black and white images, but also has no soundtrack at all. Its pure film artistic quality is far higher than that of "The Road of Furious".

After saying that, she looked at Isabel Huppel again.

Isabel Huppel was also a little hesitant and did not speak immediately. The discussion ended here, and in the end there was no answer to the Palme d'Or.

After the meeting, the other judges left one after another. Natalie Portman deliberately left behind. When Isabel Huppel had finished packing the information, she suddenly stood up and walked over.

"Is there anything wrong?" Isabel Huppel asked looking at her.

Natalie Portman smiled kindly and said, "Someone asked me to tell me, don't forget who the director of "White Ribbon" is."

Isabel Huppel was silent. How could she forget that the director of this film was Michael Haneck who was kind to her.

Seeing the other person's expression, Natalie Portman's smile became deeper and turned around and walked out of the conference room.

She remembers very clearly that in 2001, Michael Haneck won the Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival for "Piano Teacher", and even won Isabel Huppell, the chairman of this year's jury, to be the throne of the best actress.

Back in the room, sitting on the sofa and closing his eyes, Natalie Portman couldn't help but think of some scenes when she was with Duke. The other party not only pulled off the bright and beautiful shell she covered outside, but also threw it aside after having a substantial relationship with her, as if throwing garbage.

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

Indeed, a person will not be popular with everyone, and so will it be within Hollywood.

"Rampant Road" was frenzied in the media and directly fed back to various fan groups. Because it was not released until May 22, North American movie fans were undoubtedly fond of the media's crazy hype. After North American theaters officially launched ticket bookings, the amount of pre-sales soared.

This will of course cause some people to worry.

"The news I just got..."

In the office, an assistant reported to David Ellison, "The pre-sale amount of "Rampant Road" has reached $30 million!"

David Ellison wrinkled and asked, "Where is our "Adventures of Tintin"?"

The assistant glanced at him and then said carefully, "Not less than...less than $10 million."

The frown was deeper. David Ellison knew what he had to do. The current $30 million pre-sale of "The Road of Furious" is really nothing compared to "Transformers" and "The Dark Knight", but this is already quite scary for an R-level film.

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

Some time ago, Spielberg declined some of his requests. The situation was obvious. This old Jewish man could compete with Duke Rosenberg in a head-on market, but he did not want the competition to break through their respective bottom lines.

Spielberg just cooperated with normal promotional distribution. If you want to do more, David Ellison still has to rely on himself.

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

The assistant was not a fool either. He immediately understood David Ellison's intention and said, "I'll let the public relations department contact relevant media."

David Ellison has asked someone to watch this video. In fact, the feminist color in it is not particularly strong and not very disgusting. However, some organizations are always blind and aggressive. As long as they are bewitched to a certain extent, they can always do some unreasonable behaviors.

It is true that the feminist movement is emerging now, but the power of opposition is still strong. In this world, it is still a question of how many men really support the feminist movement. As long as it can arouse the disgust of the male group, the audience of this film will inevitably be further narrowed.

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

However, David Ellison knew very well that with the strength of Sky Film Studio, the impact on overseas was too weak and he could only decide between Duke Rosenberg in the North American market.

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