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 lasted for more than 20 years, is about to end. This article was first published by...

As the finale of the Star Wars series, Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith will be released simultaneously around the world.

When the middle of this month came, Cannes, a small town in southern France, sounded a first-level alarm to welcome the arrival of a group of stars of the "Galaxy Republic". "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. When all the main creators appeared on the red carpet together, the huge number of visitors directly caused traffic paralysis in the Cannes area for up to three hours.

Just after 18 o'clock in France, the heavy breathing of "Hu... roar" and "Hu... roar" sounded from the external speakers of the Palace of Film Festival. This is the classic breathing of the hero Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan in the film after being burned in the duel and turned into a cyborg.

As the sound gradually became heavier, a group of "Clone Soldiers" dressed in robot costumes gathered from front, back, left and right sides to the front of the red carpet and lined up in a row. The audience was shocked by the sudden scene and exclaimed. The number of onlookers also increased, making it difficult for the French police to maintain public order.

Samuel Jackson, Anthony Daniel, Christopher Lee and others walked on the red carpet one after another, triggering a craze of cheering fans.

As male and female protagonists, Ryan and Natalie walked on the red carpet in dark gowns of the same color, which set off the first climax of the premiere. The shouts of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala did not stop since the two walked on the red carpet until George Lucas appeared.

The real climax only belongs to George Lucas. No matter how starring Ryan and Natalie are paying attention, this is the Star Wars series after all!

When George Lucas stepped on the red carpet with his strong body, the audience applauded in unison to express their respect for the film master who made outstanding contributions to world movies. The audience's enthusiasm made Lucas responded enough, and took two steps to stop, shook hands and signed the fans. Because the fans were too enthusiastic, they walked the red carpet for twenty minutes in just dozens of feet.

When George Lucas stepped on the high steps of the Festival Palace, Ryan, who was standing under the huge poster, slapped his palm first. Then all the actors, the guests and reporters gathered here, all the applause spontaneously applauded. Although the warm applause was not as good as the shouts of the fans below, it was the best respect for the film master.

The applause lasted for a long time and the sound became louder. You should know that there were more than 400 reporters participating in this premiere, from all over the world, and will witness the final chapter of the Star Wars series with the crew and those lucky audiences.

This Star Wars ending film also ignited the greatest enthusiasm for viewing since the opening of Cannes. Even if it only participated in the screening session, the popularity easily overshadowed the contestants in Europe and Asia. Even "Bad Education", which was the opening film yesterday, was at least three levels worse than it.

When George Lucas walked to the interview area, reporters flocked to him and surrounded him.

At today's premiere, even if George Bush and Elizabeth II joined hands, they could only be a supporting role.

"It's been seven years, and it's finally time to finish."

Standing next to Ryan, Natalie, wearing a black wide-shoulder evening dress, seemed to sigh, "It's been a strange journey from 1997 to now."

"Don't be so sentimental, my dear." Ryan also felt a little emotional. The bald girl who stood in Cannes in his previous life, and her appearance completely changed all this. "A new trilogy will be waiting for you to shoot."

"Shh..."

Natalie raised her finger at Ryan. The voice of George Lucas being interviewed faintly came from the other side.

"The Star Wars series took me twenty-eight years, and when the last one was born, I almost didn't know how I would live without it. Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith is an important part of the entire series, and it gave answers to many of the previous suspense and connections."

Then a reporter asked about the grading of this movie in North America. The first few Star Wars movies were all unlimited, while "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" was rated as PG-13 by MPAA.

George Lucas said without hesitation, "This will be the darkest, heavy and cruel one in the Star Wars series. In addition, the grading is relatively strict now. This film is rated as pg-13 because there are more violent scenes than the other films, but I think this level is acceptable. Parents can take their children to the cinema to watch this movie."

Then, George Lucas finished the interview and came 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 attend the premiere, and I didn't know how to answer."

"Hey, George." Ryan whispered with a smile, "we're not late."

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

"Ivan is absent." George Lucas remembered another starring actor who was filming "Escape from the Clones" and shook his head, "If you and Nat are absent, this premiere will not be held anymore."

"George, you are the protagonist here!"

After the flash, Ryan walked into the main entrance of the Festival Palace with Natalie in his arms. While walking towards Lumiere Hall, he continued with George Lucas, who was walking next to him, "As long as you appear here, the premiere will not be deserted."

Before coming to Lumiere Hall, Ryan saw many guests attending the premiere, many of whom were familiar with each other, such as Quentin Tastino, who is the chairman of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival; for example, John Lasette, the creative director of Disney animation, took "Superman Family" to participate in the competition unit...

By the way, do you want to find a way to make a Palme d'Or for "Superman Family"?

After shook hands with the few people who came over, Ryan was still considering this matter, but he quickly gave up.

First, unless the judges are all crazy, they will award a Palme d'Or to an animated film; second, he saw Harvey Weinstein and Michael Moore, with "Fahrenheit 911", will the French, who have always been incompatible with Americans, make other choices?

"Have, what's the response?"

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

"The response was very good, and it was beyond our expectations." Harvey Weinstein looked at Michael Moore in secludedly, who was surrounded by a group of French people, and was proud. "French media and industry insiders are praising Michael Moore. As long as you do a little work, the Palme drew no big problem."

"Be careful to lead the fire to yourself."

After the premiere of "Fahrenheit 911" in Cannes, although the mainstream media in North America have many ridiculous remarks, the main tone is still mainly criticized.

Harvey Weinstein nodded, "Don't worry, I understand what to do, just let Michael Moore come out."

Ryan gently patted his arm and stopped talking about this topic. Harvey Weinstein turned to Natalie, "I haven't congratulated you yet, Nat, the first feature film has successfully entered the theater."

"Thank you." Natalie smiled and looked at Ryan, "Without Disney's help, she wouldn't be able to enter the theaters so soon."

“How is the response.”

"On average." Although Natalie didn't show any disappointment, "The experiment in the movie is too strong and not very good to the audience."

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

Occasionally holding the hand he handed over, Ryan walked all the way to the front row. As soon as he sat down, Natalie beside him asked hurriedly.

"Just has been released for three days, and you haven't told me the specific situation."

"Just" is the experimental feature directed by Natalie and starring Scarlett Johnson.

The film was pushed into theaters by Ryan, telling the story of how a Jewish girl integrated into her community after coming to North America from Israel.

As Natalie said, the style of the film is too experimental and only appears in more than 30 relatively remote theaters. Except for the posters of the theater, there are basically no other promotional methods.

As for box office and attendance, it can only be said that it is better than nothing. The average score of each museum in three days is only more than 200 US dollars. Although it is not a three-day tour, it is certain that the one-week tour of the theater is for sure.

After roughly speaking to Natalie, Ryan thought about it, "The video will be out of stock soon, so let's put it on the temptation tube."

"You see, deal with it." Natalie nodded. Anyway, she and Scarlett had no intention of making it back.

The music that belongs to "Star Wars" sounded, and "Star Wars Prequel 3: Revenge of the Sith" kicked off.

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

The answer is love, everything is destroyed by love. Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala parted ways, turned against Obi-Wan and became enemies, and eventually started a massacre and fell into endless pain and darkness. The Black Lord Darth Vader was born in hatred and anger, and the tragedy of fate is inevitable... Under the invasion of evil forces, the democratic spirit and system of the Republic were destroyed at the same time.

The Milky Way was finally caught and everything was irreversible. However, on the ruins, a new dawn has shined. Luke, Skywalker and Lea, Skywalker, will unveil the magnificent prelude to the Battle of Freedom and restore the so-called balance of the Force. (To be continued...)
