King of Hollywood

Chapter 140 Spielberg's Bow

Spielberg was stunned for a full 5 minutes, until Adrian tentatively called his name, he reacted, quickly took the paper and pen and began to write: "Very good, Ed, your The opinion is very good. Yes, a very symbolic bright red, the only color in the whole movie. You are a genius”

Adrian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Spielberg's excitement, he didn't say anything in the end.

"Yes, that's it. You have solved a big problem. Ed really deserves to be the best screenwriter in Hollywood." Spielberg said with a smile on seeing the scribbled words he hastily wrote.

"This is what I should do," Adrian shrugged, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, there are still some questions," Spielberg immediately reacted, and restored his previous expression, "I think it is necessary to discuss with you about casting, scene selection, costume props, etc."

As he said that, he handed the compiled information to Adrian: "This is the information I collected on some of the actors, as well as the arrangement to go to Poland for on-site shooting, and some other things. If you have no comments, we Then we can officially start the casting and preparation.”

Adrian held it and flipped through a few pages, then put it aside, and then took out a portfolio from his briefcase: "I have been paying attention to the actors, and I think these three are very suitable for the three main actors. "

"The three main actors?" Spielberg took the portfolio with some surprise.

"Yes, the hero Schindler, the SS officer Ammon, and the Jewish accountant Stein." Adrian nodded.

Spielberg's surprise turned into surprise. He obviously didn't expect Adrian to go so far for such a movie. After pulling out the first 14-inch photo out of curiosity, he suddenly felt a sudden shock. It was a black and white bust photo of a person in a suit, with good features, deep eyes, oily hair, and a half-smile It looks very attractive, at least 8 points similar to the image of Schindler in Spielberg's mind

He looked at Adrian and then at the photo in his hand, and then pulled out the second photo. After seeing the characters on the screen, Spielberg took another deep breath. The person in the photo was sitting in front of a typewriter, wearing simple overalls, with a hexagram representing the Jews on his left chest, and wearing round glasses with a serious face serious. He recognized this actor, although it was a black and white photo, and he was included in the actor information for Adrian, but he never thought that this person was so suitable to play the Jewish accountant Stein as he did now.

Spielberg couldn't wait to pull out the third photo. Sure enough, he was not disappointed. The person in the photo was wearing an SS uniform with cold eyes, and his marble-like facial features seemed to be cut out with a knife. His eyelids looked downcast, but at the same time gave off a cold and sinister look. If you just look at the appearance, I am afraid that no one can play Emmon Gauss except for the person in the photo.

After taking a long breath, Spielberg pinched the bridge of his nose, and he suddenly felt dizzy.

"The actor who made the styling based on the description of Schindler's image provided by the script is Liam Neeson, who is just 40 years old this year and is an Irishman. He has participated in many stage plays, TV and movie performances, and has rich performance experience. , "Adrian explained at this time, "The actor whose modeling is based on the image of Styne, I believe you should know Ben Kingsley, who won the best actor for "Gandhi" at the 55th Oscar, Although his father is Indian, but his mother has Jewish ancestry, he is also very suitable for this role in terms of temperament. As for the last one, the SS officer Eamon Goss, that is the British actor Ralph Fiennes, Although there are not many works, but they have great potential. I think he has a kind of evil features that are very suitable for this role. In order to allow him to take this photo, the people who came into contact with him were almost beaten by him until he signed a copy It took a harsh and unequal treaty to get it done, but now it looks like it's worth it."

"To be honest, Ed, I don't know what to say now." Spielberg straightened up, looked at Adrian with a wry smile, made a few gestures but was speechless.

These three black-and-white photos had already been fully recognized by him, and he didn't think there was any more suitable actor than these three.

"It's okay, this is what I should do." Adrian smiled sincerely.

Spielberg was suddenly confused. He didn't understand why Adrian had to spend so much time running around for this movie. At the beginning, he would be willing to invest in "Schindler's Understanding" just so that he could direct and produce "Jurassic Park". He didn't need to treat this movie with such enthusiasm, did he? In fact, when he invited him over today, he had already made up his mind to have a brief talk, to show respect for the investor, and then drive him away.

Unexpectedly, after Adrian came, he first helped solve a key problem of the film, and then provided three extremely suitable actors. This is really... so strange.

"I have an idea about the costumes and props, especially the costumes of more than 20,000 extras." Seeing that Spielberg didn't speak, Adrian said to himself, "I believe that Poland There are still a lot of clothes from the 1930s and 1940s in the hands of the crew. The crew can buy them from them, and they will be happy to sell them. In addition, I think some survivors or their descendants can be invited to act as extras. Let them experience the martial arts for themselves. The holy king of heaven and earth made the holy king. The king will kill the gods at night and the throne of the gods will be the strongest. Moving the universe will kill the gods and seal the throne in the night, begging the devil, the strongest abandoned young man in the ninth heaven, the king of the royal family of Zhou, the god-made general, killing the gods in the night, asking for the throne, begging the demon, the strongest abandoned young man in the ninth heaven, the strongest abandoned young man of the royal family of Zhou, the kind of despair at that time, two to make the movie feel more real - of course, these are just my suggestions."

After a pause at this point, Adrian thought of something and continued: "Also, I hope you try to arrange security work as much as possible when shooting in Poland. The Nazi occupation of Poland has left many Poles still alive. I think that the Germans at that time were good people, and with some historical reasons, it might not be possible to attack the crew, but it is definitely possible to be unfriendly to the crew, and we must do a good job of defense to prevent conflicts.”

Spielberg stared blankly at him who was talking eloquently, as if he had stopped thinking.

"Otherwise I just... oh, yes, and the soundtrack. I don't think John Williams will refuse your invitation. In this case, I suggest that the violin be the main instrument, so that we can invite Itzhak Parker." Erman played the role, so as to better express that period of history from multiple aspects." Adrian thought of something again.

Rubbing his nose, an incredible feeling came to Spielberg's heart, he forced a smile, and finally couldn't help asking: "Ed, why...you are so enthusiastic about this movie? "

"Because," Adrian smiled, with a very special calm tone, "this is what I should do."

This is what you... should do? Spielberg didn't understand at all why he could say such a thing. Just as he wanted to continue to ask, Adrian, who was flipping through the materials, suddenly frowned: "Steven, are you going to be in Clark? Cove and Auschwitz for on-location filming?"

Spielberg was taken aback: "Is there any question?"

"I don't think this is very appropriate." Adrian shook his head and raised the video data in his hand, "This is not a good idea."

"Why?" Spielberg suddenly became excited, "Why can't we go to the field to shoot? You know, Ed, how I felt when I went to Poland for a field trip more than half a month ago." Night kills the throne of gods and gods, seeks the demon, proud of the world, the strongest abandoned young man, the royal family of Zhou, kills the gods at night, seeks the throne of gods, seeks the demons, proud of the world, and seeks the throne of the nine heavens. Nine Heavens Strongest Abandoned Young Da Zhou Royal Family God-making General Night Killing God God Seal Throne Begging Demons Overlord Nine Heavens Strongest Abandoned Young Great Zhou Royal Family? I can't imagine how to set up such a scene in a studio, I also I can’t shoot what I want in the studio”

"Calm down, Steven, calm down." Adrian stretched out his hands seriously and pressed down, "I understand your feelings The Abandoned Young Master of the Great Zhou Royal Family will kill the God Sealed Throne in the night to seek the magic and proud of the world. The strongest abandoned young man of the Zhou Dynasty. I agree with you, but I still don’t think it’s appropriate to go to Krakow and Auschwitz for on-site shooting—don’t get excited, listen Can I finish? You can go to Poland, you can rebuild a new set in a place far away from Krakow and Auschwitz, and build an exactly the same set with your idea, don’t need to worry about funds, if it’s not enough, I will You can invest more, 10 million, 20 million, no problem, but please don’t go to Krakow and Auschwitz, please don’t disturb those lost souls, please let them rest in peace”

Pat, the pen in his hand because of excitement suddenly fell on the table, Spielberg stared blankly at Adrian, unable to say anything while looking at that sincere and solemn face. He waved his hand in a daze, as if he was still in shock, but in the next second, he suddenly stood up and bowed 90° to Adrian, his nose almost touching the table up.

"Hey, Steven, what are you doing?" Adrian quickly stood up and stepped aside.

"Thank you for your reminder, Ed, if it wasn't for your reminder, I would have almost made a big mistake." Spielberg bent his body again, "I misunderstood you before, and I apologize for my behavior." You apologize."

"No need to do that, Steven," Adrian grabbed his shoulders, "You're just too busy trying to make this movie well, so you didn't think about it that much. And, I believe even if no one, Someone else will remind you."

"Anyway, thank you for the reminder, thank you very much." Spielberg grabbed his hand and shook it hard.

The two looked at each other and smiled, then sat down again.

"Still, I want to ask," Spielberg looked into his eyes, "Ed, I want to know, why are you so passionate about Schindler's List? Can you tell me why? "

"Because..." Adrian tapped his fingers on the table, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, "My grandmother is Jewish, although she passed away very early, I still vaguely remember the feeling of being in her arms When I was determined to pull myself together, I read the diaries of many elders in the family and found out that she had worked for the War Refugee Relief Association in the 1940s..."
