Best Actor - v3 Chapter 209
Anthony Minghella’s neck cancer was found in early 2007 or mid-year, Sean didn’t know, he kept the matter a secret until he considered surgery under the doctor’s advice, He just got the news from John Harrington.
Then, after spending just a few days to understand the situation of head and neck cancer and consulting with experts in detail, Sean personally flew to London to persuade Anthony to go to the United States.
Head and neck cancer is quite difficult to deal with, laryngeal cancer, tongue cancer, and cheek cancer are all in this category. Cancer cells have spread to the tonsils.
Although doctors in the UK said that although the surgery was risky, it was basically within an acceptable range, but Sean insisted that Minghella go to the United States for treatment, and conducted hard lobbying.
This is not news at all. However, if you have a terminal illness and are eligible for money to support the treatment, hospitals in the United States are definitely the first choice.
Although Mingella has some savings, it is far from the point where he can splurge, which is one of the reasons why he hesitates to go to the United States for medical treatment. Therefore, Sean immediately took out a sum of money after realizing this, but he didn’t give it directly, which was too rude. He found a fund that he knew well, and used various excuses to lobby in the name of sponsorship. He coaxed to America.
The doctor in the United States does have two brushes. After a detailed examination and analysis of the medical records in the United Kingdom, it is determined that Mingla’s situation cannot be operated, otherwise the possibility of complications will be Very high and can easily lead to death.
After several consultations, they settled on a more conservative approach and used several new drugs and techniques—all proven—to bring Minghella’s condition under control. It’s just that his hair, beard, and eyebrows have all fallen out, turning into the image of the big bald head he is now, which also affects his vocal cords.
Even so, the end result is that Mingera has a lifespan of two or three years at most, and is unlikely to exceed five years even with good care. Therefore, Mingella may not be able to get involved with the guide tube from now on. You must know that he is only in his early fifties, and many well-known directors, in their 60s and 70s, are still active in the circle. This is definitely a big deal for a person who loves movies. blow.
But he himself is very open.
“As long as you are alive, there are always infinite possibilities.” Minghella said.
Very generous, isn’t it? So when he asked to go back to England to recuperate, Sean didn’t stop him, but told him to go to the coasts of Spain, France, Italy and other places to recuperate. This was the doctor’s suggestion.
In any case, Sean still hopes that he can live longer. In any case, Minghella has helped him a lot, but he doesn’t know that if he hadn’t intervened, Minghella would have lived a long life. less than now.
“Okay, Tony, it’s time for you to rest.” While the two of them were sitting quietly on the balcony feeling the sea breeze, the voice of Caroline Xiao, Mingla’s Chinese wife, came come over.
“I won’t disturb your rest, Tony.” Sean stood up with a wink.
“I will vote for you, Sean.” Minghella said this, smiling very kindly.
Although he is free and no longer doing directing and scriptwriting, he is still a filmmaker after all. After recovering, he will pay attention to the film circle again. He was originally the honorary chairman of the Shanghai Film Festival. He is very familiar with this aspect. He is also a well-known director. He is still cultivated in the coastal areas of France, so he was invited to serve as one of the judges of this Cannes Film Festival.
So, in addition to visiting him, Sean also wanted to lobby for one or two, not the Palme d’Or of “The Artist”, but—
“The winner of the best actor is “The Artist”, Sean Tang!” Following the voice of the presenter, Sean stood up reservedly and walked up to the applause. After receiving the certificate, he started the award speech: “Thank you, thank you…”
Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, this is what Weinstein said, to stabilize the winning rate at about 70%. It is a well-known fact that Hollywood and European films look down on each other. If they can win a Best Actor award in Cannes, it will affect the judgment of the film school to some extent.
Even if you can’t directly influence the outcome, the PR firm has a better excuse for lobbying, not to mention this is a love letter to Oscar.
“It’s so disappointing,” although he successfully won the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, Sean said to his best friends at the party later, “Just a certificate , not even a trophy.”
Despite this, he had a smile on his face, obviously not really taking this to heart.
Cannes is also known to be stingy and mean, not to mention singing and dancing at the awards ceremony, it is rare for the host to tell a few jokes. Basically, people leave after the awards are presented. Of course, it has improved now. After all, Cannes has to do some commercialization in order to survive, but some places are still not very good, such as trophies.
Basically, only the Palme d’Or has a trophy, and other awards, whether it’s the best actor or actress or the jury award, have only a roll of certificates tied with red silk.
Well, understandably, Cannes is not as rich as Oscar after all, but in this way, being ridiculed by others is inevitable.
“Okay, Sean, you’ve reached your goal, haven’t you?” Sanders said with a smile.
“Yes, thanks to Tony for his help,” Sean nodded, then changed a serious tone, and raised his glass, “To Tony, may he have more time.”
Seeing Sean being so serious, Sanders put away their smiles and raised their cups: “To Tony.”
Then, Sean decided to change the subject: “By the way, I’m going back tomorrow, you guys…”
Before he finished speaking, Sanders interrupted: “I’m sorry, but I still have to accompany Bonnie to Paris, don’t I, dear.”
The last sentence was said to the young girl who was holding her arm, with long straight brown hair, dark skin, some Latin blood, not pretty, but very cute.
“Sorry, Sean.” The other party stuck his tongue out.
“Okay okay, then you guys too…” Sean turned to Galen and Neil helplessly.
“Of course, but Lena and I are going to Provence.” Neil pulled his girlfriend.
“Doris’ flight tomorrow afternoon.” Galen, who was also alone with Sean, shrugged.
“Have you discussed this?” Sean asked, grinding his teeth.
The three laughed and left together immediately, leaving him unceremoniously in place.
Sure enough, they colluded, so anxious to get married? Sean snorted in dissatisfaction in his heart. I don’t know if it was Liana’s wedding that put pressure on them, or the family put pressure on them. After entering 2009, the three of them had regular girlfriends one after another.
It’s not surprising that Galen has a regular girlfriend. He has a record of dating for a few years before. Sanders… It’s not surprising that he is not a **** like Sean after all, but Neil is a little baffling , sometimes he changed women faster than Sean, how could he suddenly change sex? Could it be that the family arranged it for him?
The relationship between Neil and his family is the most harmonious among them, and he has never disclosed Lena’s background, so…it is really possible.
Thinking about this, Sean pouted and looked around. Frederick didn’t know where he was going. Maybe he was hiding in a corner to call Anna Gordon. Although he always quarreled with her, now everyone can see that these two guys are enemies, and even if they roll the sheets, they are arguing and rolling.
It’s just that even my manager is like this… Looking around, he didn’t seem to have anything to do at the party. Sean immediately left and went upstairs. The party was held in the hotel where he was staying.
“What’s the matter?” Emma asked blankly after being knocked on the door.
“Yes, I’m going back tomorrow, I’ll get the itinerary.” Sean explained.
“Wait a moment.” Emma turned to get it, such a negligence gave the other party a chance to take advantage.
“Besides, I miss you a little too.” Sean immediately followed and hugged her from behind.
Emma’s heart was bad, and she struggled immediately: “Being here, Sean, you have someone to accompany you, why bother me?”
In the few days in Cannes, because the entire crew of “The Artist” came, Sean almost took Naomi, Christina, and Abby to sleep in turns, looking at Ai in his eyes How could Ma be in a good mood, not to mention that she had to cover up for him, so she gritted her teeth even more.
Unfortunately, she may be able to pretend to be cold, but she can’t really do it in her heart, and Sean knows it very well, so…
“Stop me!”
“You promised me…”
“No…don’t touch…”
Emma’s struggle is futile, and she doesn’t really want to refuse, so to some extent, it makes Sean more “sexual”.
Therefore, he pressed her on the round table and had a good fight, which caused her clothes to be messed up.
“I knew it would be like this.” Curled in Sean’s arms sitting on the chair, Emma said angrily.
“You are the cutest looking like this.” Sean laughed and pinched her nose.
Emma snorted and turned her head to ignore him, but soon had to turn back and tighten her legs: “You can’t…”
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was gagged and he asked for enough.
“Is it better now, Pebble?” Shawn sighed soothingly after kissing her cheek.
Emma bit her lip, then took a deep breath and looked at him: “I have something to tell you, Sean.”
“What’s the matter?” Sean asked with a raised eyebrow.
“I have communicated with Fred, after next year’s Oscars, I will resign, and then go to Endeavour’s mail room for an internship,” Emma said seriously, “I should also tell myself The goal has moved forward.”
