Chapter 621： The answer is love

May 2004 is a different month for Star Wars fans. According to George Lucas, the myth of "Star Wars", which has lasted for more than 20 years, is about to come to an end.

As the end of the "Star Wars" series, "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" will be released simultaneously worldwide.

In the middle of this month, Cannes, a small city in southern France, sounded a first-level alarm to welcome the arrival of the stars of the "Galactic Republic". The premiere of "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith" will be shown. At the Cannes Film Festival, when all the main creative staff appeared on the red carpet together, the large number of people watching the ceremony directly caused traffic in Cannes to be paralyzed for three hours.

Just after eighteen o’clock in French time, the external speakers of the Palais des Festivals heard heavy breathing sounds of "hoo...hoo" and "hoo...hoo". This is the hero Anakin Skywalker and Ou in the film. After being burned in a duel, Biwang transforms into the classic breathing of a cyborg.

As the voice gradually increased, a group of "cloned soldiers" dressed in robot costumes gathered from front, back, left and right to line up in front of the red carpet. The audience was shocked by the sudden scene, and they were shocked. Phew, the number of onlookers is also increasing, making it difficult for the French police to defend law and order.

Samuel Jackson, Anthony Daniel, Christopher Lee and others stepped onto the red carpet successively, triggering a wave of cheers from fans.

As the male and female protagonists, when Ryan and Natalie walked on the red carpet in dark dresses of the same color, they set off the first climax of the premiere. Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala’s shouting did not stop after the two walked on the red carpet until George Lucas appeared.

The real climax belongs only to George Lucas, no matter how much attention the starring actors like Ryan and Natalie are, this is after all the "Star Wars" series!

When George Lucas stepped onto the red carpet with a strong body, the audience clapped unanimously to express their respect for the film master who made outstanding contributions to the world's cinema. The enthusiasm of the audience made Lucas respond enough, taking two steps and stopping one step, shaking hands and signing signatures to the fans. Because the fans were too enthusiastic, the short tens of feet of red carpet walked for 20 minutes.

When George Lucas stepped onto the high steps of the Palais des Festivals, Ryan, who was standing under the huge poster, was the first to clap his palms. Then all the actors, guests and reporters gathered here applauded spontaneously and warmly. Although the applause of's is not as good as the shouts of the fans below, it is the best tribute to the film master.

The applause lasted for a long time, and the voice grew louder and louder. We must know that there are more than 400 reporters participating in this premiere. They come from all over the world. Together with the crew and those lucky audiences, they will witness the last chapter of the Star Wars series with their own eyes.

This star wars final film also detonated the greatest enthusiasm for watching movies since the opening of Cannes. Even if it was only a screening session, the limelight easily overwhelmed the entries in Europe and Asia. Even yesterday’s opening film "Bad Education" and In comparison, there are at least three grades.

When George Lucas walked to the interview area, reporters swarmed. Surrounded him round and round.

In today’s premiere, even if George Bush and Elizabeth II come hand in hand, they can only serve as a supporting role.

"Seven years, it's finally over."

Stand beside Ryan. Natalie, wearing a black wide-shoulder evening dress, seemed to be a little emotional, "It's been a strange journey from 1997 to now."

"Don't be so sentimental, dear." Ryan also sighed. The girl who stood in Cannes in the previous life was a bald girl. Her appearance completely changed everything. "There will be a new trilogy waiting for you to shoot soon."

"Shh..."

Natalie pointed a finger at Ryan. On the other side came the voice of George Lucas being interviewed.

"The "Star Wars" series took me twenty-eight years. When the last one was born, I hardly knew how I would live without it. "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" was the whole A very important part of the series, it gives answers to many suspense and associations before."

Then another reporter asked about the classification of this film in North America. The first few Star Wars films were all unlimited, and "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" was rated pg-13 by mpaa. .

George Lucas did not deny that, "This will be the darkest, heaviest and cruelest one in the Star Wars series. In addition, the current rating is stricter. This film is rated pg-13 because it is better than the others. More violent scenes, but I think this level is acceptable. Parents can take their children to the cinema to watch this movie."

Afterwards, George Lucas ended the interview and walked over to take a photo with the actors.

"God, you are finally here."

After standing next to Ryan, George Lucas complained, "At the press conference the day before yesterday, the reporter asked if you would participate in the premiere. I don't know how to answer."

"Hey, George." Ryan whispered with a smile, "We are not late."

He and Natalie arrived in Cannes at noon. After sleeping in the hotel for a while, they rushed over.

"Ivan is absent." George Lucas remembered another star in "Escape from the Island" and shook his head, "If you and Nat are absent again, this premiere will not be held."

"George, you are the protagonist here!"

After the flash, Ryan walked into the main entrance of the Palais des Festivals with Natalie in his arms. As he walked towards Lumiere Hall, he continued with George Lucas, who was walking next to him, "As long as you show up here. , The premiere cannot be deserted."

Before coming to the Lumiere Hall, Ryan saw many guests attending the premiere, many of whom were acquaintances, such as Quentin Tasino, who is the chairman of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival; such as John? Lasseter, the creative director of Disney Animation took "The Superman Family" into the competition unit...

Do you want to find a way to get a Palme d'Or for "The Superman Family"?

After shaking hands with the few people who came over, Ryan was still thinking about this, but quickly gave up.

Firstly, unless the judges are all crazy, will an animated film be awarded the Palme d’Or; secondly, he saw Harvey Weinstein and Michael Moore with "Fahrenheit 911" in it, which has always been at odds with the Americans. Will the French make other choices?

"Harvey, what's the response?"

After shaking hands with the big fat man, Ryan asked, "Are you sure?"

"The response was very good, it was beyond our expectation." Harvey Weinstein glanced at Michael Moore concealedly. The latter was surrounded by a group of French people. It was a happy breeze. "The French media and industry insiders are touting. Michael Moore, as long as you do a little work, Palme d’Or is not a big problem."

"Be careful to direct the fire to yourself."

After "Fahrenheit 911" premiered in Cannes, although the mainstream media in North America did not lack ridiculous remarks, the main tone was still criticism.

Harvey Weinstein nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do. It's fine to let Michael Moore out of the limelight."

Ryan patted his arm lightly and stopped talking about this topic. Harvey Weinstein turned to Natalie, "I haven’t congratulated you yet, Nat, the first feature film went smoothly. To the theater."

"Thank you." Natalie looked at Ryan with a smile, "I wouldn't be able to enter the theater so quickly without Disney's help."

"How was the response."

"Normally." Although she said that, Natalie did not show any disappointment. "The experimental taste of the movie is too strong to suit the taste of the audience."

After a few more words, the guests began to enter the venue one after another. As in the tradition of the European Film Festival, the crew members walked at the end, and when they entered the Lumiere Hall, they were welcomed by the audience.

Occasionally shook the hand that was passed over, Ryan walked all the way to the front row. Just after sitting down, Natalie hurriedly asked.

"Juse has been in theaters for three days, and you haven't told me the specifics yet."

"Juse" is the experimental feature film directed by Natalie and starring Scarlett Johansson.

This film was promoted by Ryan to the theater, telling the story of a Jewish girl who came to North America from Israel and how to integrate into her community.

Just like Natalie said, the style of the film was too experimental and only appeared in more than 30 relatively remote theaters. Except for the posters of the theaters, basically no other publicity methods were adopted.

As for the box office and attendance rate, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. The average performance of each museum in the three days is only more than two hundred dollars. Although it is not a three-day tour, a one-week tour of the theater is sure.

Roughly said a few words to Natalie Ryan thought for a while, "The movie will be off the stage soon, we will put it on top again."

"Look at it." Natalie nodded. Anyway, the $200,000 she and Scarlett invested in didn't plan to make it back.

The beginning music of "Star Wars" was played, and "Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith" kicked off.

Anyone who has followed the Star Wars series will know the results of this movie. What they care most about is how the film will deal with the process of Anakin? Skywalker's fall.

The answer is love. Everything is destroyed by love. Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala parted ways, turned against Obi-Wan, and finally committed a murder, falling into endless pain and darkness, Lord Black Darth Vader was born in hatred and anger, and fatal tragedies are inevitable...Under the invasion of evil forces, what destroys at the same time is the democratic spirit and system of the Republic.

The Milky Way eventually fell, and everything is irreversible. However, above the ruins, the new dawn is already shining. Luke Skywalker and Leah Skywalker will unveil the magnificent prelude to the war of freedom and restore the so-called originality. Force balance. (To be continued...) ()
