Sean didn't know if Anthony Minghella's cancer was found in his neck in early '07 or mid-year, and he kept it a secret until he was considering surgery on the advice of a doctor, and he didn't get 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 for information.

Head and neck cancer is quite difficult to treat, laryngeal cancer, tongue cancer, and buccal cancer are all within this category, and if you don't pay attention to it, not to mention disfigurement, it may also affect the brain supplement, especially Minghella's cancer cells have spread to the tonsils.

Although doctors in the UK said that although the surgery was risky, it was basically within the acceptable range, Sean insisted that Minghella go to the United States for treatment and lobbied hard.

I have to say that although the medical insurance in the United States is a mess, ordinary people can't afford to see a doctor without insurance, the division of labor is meticulous and does not cooperate with each other, and it is still a contracting system, so that it is not news at all that serious injuries are waiting for treatment, and waiting and waiting to die. However, if you have a terminal illness and are eligible for money to support treatment, hospitals in the United States are definitely the first choice.

Although Minghella had some savings, they were far from being squandered, which was one of the reasons why he was hesitant to go to the United States for medical treatment. Therefore, Sean immediately took out a sum of money after understanding this, but he didn't give it directly, which was too rude, he found a familiar fund, and lobbied under various pretexts in the name of sponsorship and the like, and finally coaxed him to the United States.

Doctors in the United States did have two brushes, and after a detailed examination and analysis of the medical records in the United Kingdom, it was determined that Minghella's condition could not be operated on, otherwise the possibility of complications would be very high, and it would easily lead to death.

After several consultations, they settled on a more conservative approach and used several new drugs and techniques – all of which were proven – to finally bring Minghella's condition under control. It's just that his hair, beard, and eyebrows have all fallen out, and he has become the current image of a big bald head, which also has an impact on his vocal cords.

Even so, the end result is that Minghella has a maximum of two or three years to live, and even if it is well maintained, it is unlikely to exceed five years. Therefore, Minghella may not have a chance with the director tube from now on, you must know that he is only in his early fifties, and many well-known directors, in their sixties and seventies, are still active in the circle, which is definitely a major blow to a person who loves movies.

But he himself saw it very openly.

"As long as you're alive, there's always a lot of possibility," Minghella said.

Pretty open-minded, isn't it? So when he asked to go back to England to recuperate, Sean did not stop him, but told him to go to the coasts of Spain, France, Italy and other places to recuperate, which was the doctor's advice.

Anyway, Sean still hopes that he can live a long time, no matter what, Minghella has helped him a lot, but he doesn't know that if he hadn't intervened, Minghella wouldn't have survived now.

"Alright, Tony, it's time for you to rest." Just as the two of them sat quietly on the balcony and felt the sea breeze, the voice of Caroline Shaw, Minghella's Chinese wife, came over.

"I'm not going to disturb your rest, Tony." Sean stood up with a look of relief.

"I'll vote for you, Sean." Minghella said this, smiling very kindly.

Sean couldn't help coughing a few times in embarrassment, if Minghella hadn't teased himself like this before, would everyone become more and more open-minded as long as they let go of everything?

Although he was idle and did not work as a director or screenwriter, he was still a filmmaker after all, and after his body recovered, he paid attention to the film industry again. He was originally the honorary president of the Shanghai Film Festival, he is very familiar with this aspect of things, and he is a well-known director, and he is also cultivated in the coastal region of France, so he was invited to be one of the judges of this year's Cannes Film Festival.

So, in addition to visiting him, Sean came over to lobby for a thing or two, not the Artist's Palme d'Or, but-

"The winner of Best Actor is, "The Artist," Sean Don!" With the voice of the award presenter, Sean stood up very reservedly, walked up in applause, and immediately began the award speech after receiving the certificate: "Thank you, thank you for ......"

Best actor at the Cannes Film Festival, this is what Weinstein said, the means to stabilize the winning rate at about 70%. It is already a well-known fact that Hollywood and European films do not look at each other, and if they can win an award for best actor at Cannes, it will affect the judgment of the film school to some extent.

Even if it can't directly influence the outcome, a PR firm has a better excuse to lobby, not to mention that it's a love letter to the Oscars.

"It's so disappointing," Sean said to his friends at the party afterwards, although he won the Best Actor at the Cannes Film Festival, "It's just a certificate, not even a trophy." ”

Despite this, he had a smile on his face, clearly not really taking this to heart.

Cannes' stinginess and stinginess are also well known, not to mention singing and dancing at the awards ceremony, it is rare for the host to go up and tell a few jokes, basically leaving after the award is awarded. Of course, there has been some improvement now, after all, Cannes has had to do some commercialization in order to survive, but there are still some things that are not very good, such as trophies.

Basically, only the Palme d'Or has a trophy, while the rest of the awards, whether it is the best actor or actress or the jury prize, are only a certificate tied in red silk.

Well, it's understandable that Cannes is not as rich as the Oscars after all, but in this way, it is inevitable to be ridiculed by others.

"Alright, Sean, you've achieved your goal, haven't you?" Sanders laughed.

"Yes, thanks to Tony's help," Sean nodded, then changed his tone to a serious tone and raised his glass, "Tony, may he have more time." ”

Seeing that Sean was so serious, Sanders and the others also put away their smiles and raised the cup in their hands: "To Tony." ”

Then, Sean decided to change the subject: "By the way, I'm going back tomorrow, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sanders: "I'm sorry, I'm still going to accompany Bonnie around Paris, don't I, dear." ”

The last sentence was addressed to the young girl who was holding her arm, with long straight brown hair, dark skin, and some Latin descent, not pretty, but very cute.

"I'm sorry, Sean." The other stuck out his tongue.

"Okay, okay, then you ...... too" Sean reluctantly turned to Galen and Neil.

"Of course, but Lena and I are going to Provence." Neil pulled his girlfriend.

"Doris's plane tomorrow afternoon." Galen, who was also alone with Sean, shrugged his shoulders.

"You've negotiated, right?" Sean asked, grinding his teeth.

The three of them laughed, and immediately left together, leaving him unceremoniously.

Sure enough, it's collusion, so anxious to get married? Sean snorted disapprovingly. I don't know if Liana's wedding gave them pressure, or the family put pressure on them, after entering 09, the three of them had a fixed girlfriend one after another.

It's not surprising that Galen has a regular girlfriend and has a record of dating for several years before, Sanders ...... It's no surprise that he is not a playboy like Sean after all, but Neil is a little inexplicable, sometimes he changes women faster than Sean, how can he suddenly change sex? Could it be that the family arranged it for him?

Neil's relationship with the family is the most harmonious of them, and Lena's background has not been revealed, so ...... It's really possible.

Thinking so, Sean pursed his lips 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 rivals, even if they roll the sheets, they are also arguing and rolling.

It's just that even my own agent is like this...... Looking left and right, there didn't seem to be anything going on with him at the party, and Sean immediately left to go upstairs, and the party was held in the hotel where he was staying.

"What's the matter?" After being knocked on the door, Emma asked with a blank face.

"Yes, I'm going back tomorrow, I'll get the itinerary." Sean explained.

"Wait a minute." Emma turned around to get it, and such an oversight gave the other party an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Also, I miss you a little bit." Sean immediately followed and hugged her from behind.

Emma's heart was not good, and she immediately struggled: "Being brought to this set, Sean, you have someone to accompany you, why do you want to provoke me?" ”

In the few days in Cannes, because the entire crew of "The Artist" came, Sean almost took turns sleeping with Naomi, Christina, and Abby.

It's a pity that 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!"

"You promised me ......"

"No...... Don't touch ......"

Emma's struggle was futile, and she didn't really want to refuse, so it made Sean more "sexual" to some extent.

So he pressed her down on the round table and had a good fight, and because of it, he crumpled her clothes into a mess.

"I knew it was going to happen." Curled up in Sean's arms as he sat in a chair, Emma said angrily.

"You're the cutest person when you look like this." Sean laughed and pinched her nose.

Emma snorted and turned her head away from him, but soon had to turn back and tighten her legs: "You can't ......"

Before he could finish his words, his mouth was gagged and he demanded enough.

"Are you better now, Pebble?" After the kiss, soothing her face, Sean sighed softly.

Emma bit her lip, then took a deep breath and looked at him, "There's something I want to tell you, Sean. ”

"What's the matter?" Sean asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I've already communicated with Fred that after next year's Oscars, I'll quit my job and go to Endeavour mailroom for an internship," Emma said seriously, "and it's time for me to move towards my goals." ”
