Rebirth In Hollywood

"Schindler's List" was adapted from the book "Schindler's Ark." Spielberg acquired the film adaptation rights as early as 1983, and the book's narrator, Favorburn, once asked him, " Please, when can we start filming?"

Spielberg's answer was, "Maybe ten years."

With countless twists and turns over the decade, Spielberg was hesitant until he finally made up his mind after hearing about the Bosnian genocide and learning about the many denials of the Holocaust.

In order to enhance the sense of reality and to describe the darkest times of the Jewish people, he has just decided to use black and white photography some time ago, for which he was strongly opposed by Universal Pictures.

"Yes!" Spielberg nodded to Ryan, but his eyes were shining brightly. Although he knew a lot about the boy, he was more and more surprised by him.

"And the most important point, don't you think the transformation of Oscar Schindler in the script is too abrupt? Schindler seems to have received an explosive psychological purification and suddenly became a hero, which is similar to "Victory" What's the difference between The Great Escape?"

Listening to Ryan's words, Spielberg also stood up and walked solemnly in front of Ryan. This boy with some Jewish characteristics, this boy who is about to turn twelve years old, this is only shorter than him. A little boy!

"Ryan, whether you admit it or not, you have Jewish traits in you, even for this bloodline, give all your advice." Spielberg owed him a bow.

Everyone looked at Spielberg. Although he was a bit of a philistine, his pride would not let him bow his head to others easily, not to mention that the object was only a boy who was about to turn twelve.

"Mr. Spielberg, this..."

Deep in the soul, after all, it was an oriental education. Ryan not only changed his official title, but also quickly stepped aside.

Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow looked at this incredible scene, a little stunned and a little confused, their godfather was a figure standing at the top of Hollywood, even...

"Mr. Spielberg, okay... Stephen." The corners of Ryan's mouth trembled. He had done a lot of plagiarism in the past, but this time he was a little guilty, of course, just a little bit.

"In the beginning, Schindler was just a philistine businessman. He accepted Jews just to make more money. The tragedy that happened later made him gradually change his direction as a sympathizer. However, it was just sympathy. ."

Ryan thought of the movie he had seen more than ten times in his mind, and the color, "A touch of red, stinging red, the most vivid color in the movie! In the crazy SS and being driven out. A little girl in a red dress shuttles back and forth between the Jewish people, looking for a refuge, and this girl is the beginning of Schindler's transformation."

"When the German army dug up and burned the body of the slaughtered because of the unfavorable war, Schindler saw this girl again!"

Ryan closed his eyes quietly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The girl appeared on the pile of corpses that were about to be burned, and the red color was brighter than blood, which completely stinged Schindler, and also prompted He's done a transformation."

"That's right! Ryan, that's it, you solved the biggest problem!" At some point, Spielberg took out a small notebook and quickly recorded it. At this time, looking at the scribbles on the paper, Suddenly said, "Ryan, I want to ask you to supplement the script,

May I? "

"No, no." Ryan shook his finger quickly, although he didn't mind the tabloids calling him a monster, he didn't want everyone to see him as a monster, "Stephen, this is your movie, I can make some comments. , but what to do, you need to make up your mind."

Spielberg didn't say anything, but looked at Ron Mayer, who was a little stunned, "Ron, I still have that request, during the preparation of "Jurassic Park", let me finish "Schindler's" first. I can give up all my salary for the filming of "The List"!"

I remember that in the past, people always said that Spielberg was an artist when he picked up the camera, and he was a philistine businessman when he put it down. Now this scene makes Ryan feel a little bit. Frankly speaking, he said so much, not because of his body. Heck of Jewish blood.

Forget it, since you have meddled in yourself, let’s help others to the end and send Buddha to the West. Ryan sighed, first smiled at Spielberg, then looked at Ron Mayer.

"Mr. Mayer, I think Stephen will be able to finish the filming of Schindler's List within half a year, and George and Kate should be in charge of the early stage of Jurassic Park."

In the previous life, Steven Spielberg completed the shooting in just over 70 days. The most troublesome part of this film is the preliminary preparations. Since the other party is very confident, he must have done a lot of preliminary work.

Nicole and Jinsley looked over in confusion. They knew very well that Ryan rarely got involved in other people's affairs. What happened today?

"This..." Ron Mayer hesitated, and finally said, "Mr. Scheinberg said that once Stephen completed Schindler's List, it would be difficult to focus on Jurassic Park. ", Ryan, and Nicole, you are also investors and should understand our difficulties."

This reason is indeed very strong, and it is very likely to happen. Ryan hesitated for a while. After all, an investment of 20 million US dollars is already a huge sum of money for them.

"Let's do it." Spielberg seemed determined, "We could sign a contract and after the Schindler's List location shooting, I'll go all out on Jurassic Park before it's done. , the post-work on Schindler's List pushed back indefinitely."

It seems that Spielberg can't wait any longer, probably because he just stepped in. He is more urgent than the rumors in his previous life. Ryan can understand this feeling. If he changed himself, he would have waited ten years. Nian's wish is about to come true, I'm afraid it's not as good as him.

It's definitely not a good thing for him to shoot Jurassic Park with that mentality. He murmured in his heart, and quickly calculated that as long as he participated in it, the benefits that "Schindler's List" could bring can be imagined. Don't forget that Hollywood has another name - Jewish Hollywood!

In an instant, Ryan made up his mind, "Ron, so be it, if Stephen can't complete the contract he said, Jenkins and I will give up all investment and income."

"Ryan..."

Spielberg doesn't know what to say, not to mention how Jenkins Films is, he alone can get tens of millions of dollars or more from "Jurassic Park".

"This..." Ron Mayer was obviously moved.

Ryan looked at Nicole and Kingsley, who hesitated for a while, but nodded slightly before saying, "We can also sign a contract."

Ron Mayer is not in the mood, he can't wait to draw up two contracts immediately, let them sign on it, and then Spielberg breaks the contract, that is wonderful for Universal Pictures and for him personally. .

"Okay, I need to give Mr. Scheinberg a call." Ron Mayer simply went to the secretary room.

"Ryan, I really don't know what to say." Spielberg didn't expect that Ryan Jenkins, the original author of "Jurassic Park", would support him so much.

"Nothing, these are what we should do!"

After listening to him, Nicole Kidman, who knew Ryan best, rolled his eyes without a trace. If Ryan did these things for her, it would not be surprising at all, but for others...

This kid doesn't know what he's calculating! That was Nicole's only thought.

After a full half an hour, Ron Mayer walked back, with a bit of relief and a smile on his face, and said, "Stephen, I think this will be a pleasant cooperation, and I will inform the following department. , to draw up a contract and cooperate with your work as soon as possible."

Spielberg's tense face finally relaxed. He didn't seem to want to wait for a moment. He greeted Lucas and planned to leave.

"Wait, Stephen." Ryan stopped him. "You're going to do a field shoot in a concentration camp in Krakow, right?"

"That's right." Spielberg froze for a moment and explained, "Actually, I went to Poland for a field trip a long time ago, and Ryan keeps the phone open, I will contact you at any time, I think I'm going to get my team together."

"No, Stephen, this is not appropriate!" Ryan stopped him and Lucas simply.

"What's the problem?"

Ryan scratched his head. To be honest, it would feel weird to say these words from his mouth, but if you don't say it, the American Jewish Association will do it in the future. Why not sell a favor now?

"I have seen some documents in Krakow, and I know that whether it is a studio or other location, it is difficult to reproduce the situation of the year if you build a set, but, Stephen, have you ever thought about how many people sleep in the There, please don't go to the concentration camp, please don't disturb the dead, let them rest in peace?"

Spielberg's notebook fell to the ground, his face was serious and serious, and regretful. He has been preparing for nearly ten years, and no child has thought it better. If it weren't for him A reminder that he is about to make a big mistake, and among those resting souls, there are also members of his family!

"Thank you, Ryan!" Spielberg turned around and squeezed his hand.

"This is what we should do." Ryan moved out the sentence again.

"Yeah, it should," Spielberg repeated in a low voice.

Ryan's face became serious, and he clenched his fists and said, "Yes! This is what we have to do. Although I don't know my background, I know that we have the same blood, and we all have common responsibilities. Nail the Nazis, the fascists, and Hitler to the pillar of shame forever!"

"We want to let the whole world know about the tragedies that happened in Europe during World War II!" Then Ryan leaned into Spielberg's ear and whispered, "It's not just our responsibility, Steven , we should turn to the National Jewish Association for help."

Those characteristics of your appearance are already destined to choose the queue, then maximize the benefits! Ryan thought as he went out to dinner with the others.
