Saving the world is not as good as chasing stars [US Entertainment]

After dissing the group of bald men with "six men, five bald, and one bald" without discrimination, Margaret ended her trip to the UK the next day, but instead of returning to Los Angeles, she flew directly to In Vancouver, the filming of "The Butterfly Effect" started.

Eric Brace and J. McKay Gruber, who were screenwriters, are full of enthusiasm for this debut novel. In order to show the difference between the various virtual reality parts, various films provided by Kodak are used to show different tones .

As the producer, Margo invited the famous photographer Matthew Lanetti to take the shot.

However, this sci-fi and thriller film, which has limited themes and is not favored by all walks of life, is difficult to win awards. It was officially launched in February 2004.

The "butterfly effect" was first proposed in 1972 by EN Lorenz, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and one of the founders of chaos.

"A butterfly flapping its wings by chance in the Brazilian jungle could set off a tornado in Texas, USA."

In this movie, the heroine Evans grew up with her mother since she was a child. She experienced a series of bad and terrible experiences in her childhood, which made her mentally troubled.

But Evans suffered from short-term amnesia since she was a child, which made her unable to recall the details of those terrible memories when she was young. She only vaguely remembered a few good friends who lived together in childhood——

Her childhood sweetheart, the boy Kevin she had a crush on in her childhood.

The buddy Tommy who grew up together is also Kevin's younger brother.

Growing up together, Donny is a fragile blond boy.

Evans, who needs regular appointments with a psychiatrist, is not in a very healthy state of mind, so she wants to get back her lost childhood memories.

Coincidentally, Evans had the habit of keeping a detailed diary every day for many years, and according to those notebooks accumulated for many years, Evans finally slowly recovered her childhood memories, but the retrieval of memories did not refresh her spirit. Relaxed, but full of guilty pain—

Evans actually did many wrong things in her childhood, and lost her three most important friends because of it.

Especially Kevin, the boy she had a crush on as a child.

But all this is not without a way to improve. Evans found that she could sneak into her childhood body by reading the diary, and go back to the past to change the wrong things she did.

She hopes that she can regain her friendship, and even become a lover with Kevin, and live a happy life together.

But everything she changed back in the past, just like the butterfly flapping its wings, always backfired, and the reality change brought unexpected bad results——

Evans terrorizes Kevin's pedophile father so that he never touches Kevin again, causing him to impart all his perverted tendencies to his younger son, Tommy, who becomes increasingly sadistic and ends up in jail .

She and Kevin became lovers, but killed her friend Tommy and caused a tragedy.

Rescue the puppy who was almost burned to death by the sadistic Tommy, but caused his friend Donnie to kill Tommy and put him in a mental hospital.And Kevin fell into drug addiction under such a blow, and died of a drug overdose.

Going back to the past to disarm the bomb, he was crippled and lost his arms, while his mother suffered from lung cancer and was dying.

When she went back to her childhood again, she found that Kevin, who could have chosen to live with her mother, chose the perverted pedophile father for custody in order to see Evans every day, but this time Kevin was accidentally bombed. died, and Evans ended up in a lunatic asylum.

Every time she goes back to the past, the ending in reality will only become more and more tragic, and Evans will become more and more lost in pain, wandering on the edge of pain and approaching collapse.

So far, Evans has gone through time travel five times. Although the plot is complicated, the two-month shooting process can be called smooth.

However, regarding the choice of the ending, the main creators have their own opinions.

"Butterfly Effect" has a total of four endings, and the one that suits the two directors the most is——

Evans went back to fetal life via home video, grabbed the umbilical cord in her mother's womb, and killed herself for a happy ending for all.

This ending can be called earth-shattering, the degree of shock is beyond words, but it is obviously too tragic. Hollywood always hopes that the ending of the movie can be warm and popular, and it will be more popular with the general public. Therefore, more people support another ending——

When Evans met Kevin for the first time, she directly scolded Kevin, "If you bother me again in the future, I will kill you and your whole family."

The seven-year-old boy Kevin ran away in fear, and has never had anything to do with Evans since.

And when Evans woke up again, she stopped the time travel to change the past, and burned all her diaries to ashes.

In addition to this, the movie also sets two other endings. Evans ran into Kevin on the street as an adult. In one ending, the two passed by each other, and Evans turned to chase Kevin;

The other is that the two recognize each other, which can barely be regarded as the ending of a happy family carnival.

In the conference room, four different versions of the ending caused the creators of "The Butterfly Effect" to argue endlessly.

The two directors insisted on returning to the fetal period to obliterate their own tragic ending.

The president of Focus Pictures, James Summers, another producer of "The Butterfly Effect" second only to Margaret, considering the market reaction, hopes to use Evans to scare Kevin away, give up love but everyone gets The end of a happy life.

After a three-day discussion meeting, Focus Pictures CEO Margaret finally made the decision——

Take the first ending that directors Eric Brace and J. McKay Gruber insisted on.

Margo's decision wasn't just to create a ground-breaking gimmick, but to consider the film itself.

"Butterfly Effect" is well conceived, but based on the setting of telepathic time travel, coupled with the intersection of the past and reality, if you insist on explaining it scientifically, there will inevitably be flaws, and the ending is set to a shocking ending. It's a real bonus cadenza.

It was late April when Margot finished filming "The Butterfly Effect". As the chairman of the jury for the seventh Cannes Film Festival, Margaret immediately flew to this southern French town near the Mediterranean Sea.

The closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival will be held in the Lumiere Hall of the Film Palace at 2004:5 pm on May 23, [-]. In the month before that, the members of the jury will discuss the awards at the meeting They quarreled with each other for several months.

Marguerite, the chairman of the jury, presided over the jury to select the most likely to win the five major awards from the [-] films shortlisted for the main competition, namely the Palme d'Or, the Grand Jury Prize, the Director, the Best Best Actor and Actress awards, so as to prevent important films from being missed.

And Adjani's favorite best film is "2046", which was sent to the exhibition at the last minute and directed by Wong Kar-wai for four years. This film scored first in the show catalog and won the Palme d'Or. deserved.

But the Italian director Nanni Moretti on the jury did not think so. He tried his best to advocate equality for all, intending to weaken the prerogative of the chairman and make the jury out of Adjani's control, so as to make the young Chairman, and is committed to advocating the Italian film "The Result of Love".

On the same side as Nanni Moretti is the British director Mike Lee --

In the selection of the Best Actress Award, Mike Lee insisted on awarding the award to supporting actress Kathy Burke, because Burke is not only his fellow Briton, but also came out of his work and embarked on the road of acting.

Not only that, Mike Lee was very rude to Margo, as if he was the chairman.

But Margaret is obviously not prepared to follow the ideas of these two European directors, "I insist on awarding the Palme d'Or to "2046", and the best actress—"

Margot united with the two Chinese judges, "The actress Maggie Cheung who starred in the French movie "Clean" is the best choice."

Italian director Nanni Moretti has a strong wrist. Seeing that Adjani's decision-making power could not be shaken, he tried to persuade Margo to set up a parallel Palme d'Or, ""2046" can be awarded together with "The Consequence of Love"."

Before Margot could answer, Quentin Tarantino, who had just successfully cooperated with her in the production and distribution of "Kill Bill", said, "A tie for the Palme d'Or will only weaken the authority of the award and attract numerous criticisms. "2046" certainly deserves its name."

Geek director Quentin Tarantino has always appreciated Chinese-language movies, and even publicly stated that he has seen all 114 of Andy Lau's films.

In "2046", she was named as the first heroine, but the role was a foil, so it was difficult for Chinese actress Gong Li to compete for the best actress award, but she insisted on winning the Palme d'Or for Wong Kar-wai, ""2046" is not only a character With a distinctive personality and a complex heart, the film itself is full of openness and philosophy, so of course it is the best choice."

Hong Kong director Tsui Hark immediately stated that he supports "2046" instead of "The Result of Love", "There is no need to tie for the Palme d'Or."

As for the other two American screenwriters Jeff Nathanson and British actor Ralph Fiennes, who have worked perfectly with Margaret, it is even more impossible to stand on the side of Nanni Moretti.

"2046" won an overwhelming victory with six votes among the eight-member jury, completely invalidating Nanni Moretti's series of tricks trying to overshadow Adjani.

At the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival on May 2004, 5, "23" won the highest award, the Palme d'Or, and Maggie Cheung successfully won the queen by virtue of her sincere cooperation with her ex-husband Assayas.

The seventh Cannes Film Festival came to an end, and the jury gave the world a very convincing answer, showing its authority and courage as the world's number one film festival.

And Adjani is beyond everyone's expectations. This French actress who is worried by the media and believes that she will be emptied and become the most failed jury chairman in history has proved with real facts that she is the queen who dominates everything.

And just as Margo boarded the flight back to Los Angeles, Mr. Tony Stark, the richest man in the United States, was being interviewed by a reporter from The Wall Street Journal——

"Mr. Stark, you are not only rich, but also a well-known superhero. This is simply a dream life. I wonder what your next dream is? To become the richest man in the world?"

Wearing a black suit with dark stripes and a little beard, Tony Stark, who looked poised and cynical, touched his chin, "It's my lifelong goal to catch up with Margaret Adjani."

The reporter was a bit puzzled by his answer, this interview is a serious financial interview of Baben.

The reporter who wrote the article asked in surprise, "Who would you choose to become the richest man in the world or to catch up with Margaret?"

Tony folded his arms and said with a relaxed face, "No matter what choice you put together with Margo, my answer will always be the same."

He repeated, "It's been my life's goal to catch Marguerite Adjani, it's as simple as that."
