MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 145 go to cannes again

Sean is not really interested in European films, especially in this era when European films have completely declined, and naturally he is not interested in the three major film festivals.

In fact, he cares more about the Sundance Film Festival, at least several films related to him have been well received at this film festival, and then won a good reputation, or sold a good one Box office, such as "Death Illusion" and "Little Miss Sunshine."

So, he came to Cannes very little, this time if it wasn't for Clooney to premiere "Thirteen Arhats" here, if not for other reasons, he wouldn't come at all .

With this time, it is better to have a relationship with the film academy, or make a film seriously, what about the three major European film festivals? The world's film center is Hollywood, not Europe. Does going here for a walk help promote your goals?

From this point of view, Sean is actually a very utilitarian person, but then again, if the goal is the Oscar, it is not wrong to think so, even if the three major film festivals are The best actor has been won, and the influence is not comparable to an Oscar.

Of course, the scenery of Cannes is still very good, very distinctive, just like the Sundance Film Festival sitting in Park City is a ski resort, so Sean as usual will Galen and his assistants brought together.

"I thought you wouldn't come," said Clooney on the red carpet.

"How is it possible, unless you explicitly refuse me to come, then I have to come no matter what." Sean smiled and stood with him, letting the surrounding reporters click the shutter, "Are you going to refuse me to participate?"

"How come." Clooney laughed.

"He's just a little worried, worried that you will be late for work." Another voice came, you don't need to look to know who it is, but I didn't expect that he didn't bring his live-in girlfriend.

In fact, Sean never seems to have seen Angelina when he was with Pitt, I don't know if it's because he and Jennifer are still involved - although they are very secretive to each other, but Hollywood doesn't have airtight walls.

Even if Pete and Jennifer are not married in this life, and Pete doesn't seem to care about Jennifer, otherwise he wouldn't be so polite to Sean, but he brought it back to his family to see. And like the previous life, Pitt's family prefers Jennifer to Angelina, so there have been rumors that the two of them don't deal with each other.

So they connected again... Of course, Sean still felt that he was thinking too much, after all, he did not have frequent contact with Pete, and it was more during the shooting of "Death of the Sharpshooter" .

"Punctuality is a virtue, no matter what job I have, it will not affect my coming to Cannes to attend the premiere." Sean said, "Speaking of which, my formation in the second half of the year was so arranged Now, thanks to you, Brad."

"Hands up." Pete, who waved at the reporter, smiled.

"Do you have any plans for the second half of the year?" Clooney was suddenly curious.

Sean also briefly explained the situation of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and the current progress of "The Dark Knight": "So, in the second half of this year, I will be in the two crews without Stop and run back and forth until the end of the year, oh, just thinking about it is very hard."

"It's your choice, can't blame anyone else, Sean." Clooney laughed again, then looked to Pete to help him ask what Sean wanted to ask: "Okay, What's your reason for recommending Sean to David, Brad?"

"I just think they'll be in perfect harmony." Pete said solemnly, but the expression on his face was clearly saying: Don't guess, I won't tell you.

It should be more abundant, but it is not possible to stay on the red carpet indefinitely, so the guide next to it will come to remind it when necessary. Sean and Clooney had been there for a while before, although Pitt joined later, but it was too long, not to mention Don Cheadle and others were already waiting at the entrance of the theater.

So, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips, walked with them to the entrance of the theater, turned around, and took pictures with all the "Arhats".

After that, he was not interested in mentioning this again, because when he entered the theater, he saw a familiar figure on the red carpet. Five feet tall, purple dress, intellectual and elegant, Natalie Portman, a member of the Cannes jury.

Sean didn't know whether Natalie was one of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival in his previous life, but when he learned the news, he knew that he had to come to Cannes.

After the events of Oscar night, Natalie avoided seeing her again, and phone calls and emails were much less. For a while, Sean didn't worry too much. After all, he also made a mistake first. It was suitable for Natalie to calm down, but after two months, he became a little uneasy.

If you want to say, starting from the original Mrs. Helena, Sean has experienced a lot of women, and there are also girls with peculiar characters such as Jordana and Zoe, but only Nata Li, made him feel unpredictable and uncontrollable. It is precisely because of this that she is so strongly attracted to him. As the old saying goes, what you can't get is the best. Itchy.

Of course, in this way, something will inevitably continue to decline, even if it perceives a problem, it will not care, like a moth to a fire.

All in all, Sean is eager to ask Natalie out for a chat, but unfortunately "Rachel's Wedding" has been filmed, and he has no interface - even if he is still filming way to use this excuse. In addition, he has a lot of things this year, so until the film festival, he only talked to Natalie two or three times, and exchanged a few emails, and it was not long.

So he came to Cannes after learning that she was a judge at the Cannes Film Festival. Anyway, he was coming to attend the premiere, which was a great opportunity.

But it is impossible now. Although Natalie, as an American judge, came to stand on the platform of "Thirteen Arhats", she was sitting far away from the main creators. And there are so many, Clooney, Pitt, and the rest of the "Rohan" cast, Galen, Sanders, Frederick, Emma, ​​etc., so whatever he wants to do is not a good time, So just have to wait.

Because of this, Sean lost the motivation to discuss further with Pete, thinking about what to do after the movie ended.

The role of, but compared to the first part of the smooth and unexpected surprises is still a little worse. There are many places in the movie that make people laugh, such as Pitt's character-dressed earthquake expert ranting about Pacino's villain, or the fake hotel star reviewer being entertained everywhere, while the real reviewer is being abused in various ways. .

Of course, the most impressive places are in two places, one is that Oxun let the two brothers who are lacking in roots sneak into a Mexican factory to work, this factory is a big villain The newly opened casino provided dice, and he asked them to add something to the dice. Unexpectedly, the workers in Mexico went on strike because the wages were too low. If you want to catch up with the opening of the villain's casino, you must promise to increase wages.

The big villain pulled in, bought a new drill with his money, and promised to help him steal the diamond necklace Pacino collected by the way.

And according to the news brought back by Ross, that is, the character played by Pitt, at least 70,000 US dollars, counting nearly 100 workers, and several million to spend, it is really troublesome thing.

Then the turning point came.

"Hey guys, it's $70,000," Ross said.

Even Sean recalled some episodes in his head through filming, and couldn't help laughing when he saw this, let alone those who saw the movie for the first time. As for whether or not after laughing, whether there is any emotion for the cheap labor of the Mexicans, it is unknown.

to snatch. Unexpectedly, Oxun and the others saw through his little actions, so they put the plan on the night fox, and donated the share that belonged to Benedict to a charity, so Benedict became a philanthropist. Being invited to appear on Oprah's talk show, I had to force a happy face to say "I'm very moved when I see their eyes" and so on.

Although this plot is not as funny as the first one, it also makes many people smile, the good guy wins, the bad guy loses, the bad guy gets teased, this ending It's really fun.

All in all, the movie is very smooth and comfortable to watch, except for surprises and accidents and the character configuration is not as good as the first one - in "Eleven Arhats", everyone has their own responsibilities, and they can't Substitute, and here, either Don Cheadle or the two brothers who went to the Mexican factory, can change people. In addition, the first part was pushed forward layer by layer. When everyone was unexpectedly excluded from Oxun, but appeared in front of Linus, everyone thought that they might not be able to escape, but they disguised themselves as Thunder Squad and stole the money. Clean and tidy.

But at least it is better than the second part. For the whole series, "Thirteen Arhats" is a good ending. Sean estimates Clooney and Soderbergh will not If the filming continues, even if they are willing, he and some other actors will not continue, so if you want to watch "Fourteen Arhats", you can only watch it on TV - Sean has taken this opportunity to persuade Clooney and Pitt , to make a cameo in the "Star Companion" produced by Wahlberg and HBO. Although I don't know how they will make a cameo appearance, it may be interesting to invite the hero Vince to participate in the filming of "Fourteen Arhats".
