King of Hollywood

Spielberg beamed for five minutes until Adrian tried to scream his name, and he reacted, grabbing the paper and the pen, and he started writing: "Very good, Ed. Your opinion is very good. Yes, a very symbolic red, the only color in the film. You're a genius.”

Adrian opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but when he saw Spielberg's excitement, he didn't say it.

“Yes, that's it. You solved a big problem. Ed is the best writer in Hollywood.” Spielberg looked at himself in panic and hurried to write, and the grassy text smiled and said.

“That's what I'm supposed to do," Adrian shrugged, "is there anything else? ”

“Yes, there are some more questions,” Spielberg reacted immediately, restoring his previous look, "I think it is necessary to discuss with you about angle selection, landscaping, costume props, etc. ”

He said that he had handed Adrian the collated information: "This is some of the information I gathered from the actors, as well as arrangements for field shooting in Poland, and some other stuff. If there is no objection, we can begin the selection and preparation formally. ”

Adrian took it and turned it over for a few pages and put it aside, and pulled a file bag out of his briefcase: “I've been keeping an eye out for the actors, and I think these three are great for the three main actors. ”

“Three leading actors?” Spielberg had some unexpected access to the archive bags.

“Yes, lead actor Schindler, SS officer Aymon, and Jewish accountant Stein.” Adrian nodded.

Spielberg's accident turned into a surprise, and he obviously didn't expect Adrian to run so far for such a movie. When he took out the first photograph, almost 14 inches in size with curiosity, he suddenly felt like a black and white photograph of Spielberg, wearing a suit, a five-pronged man, deep eyes, oil in his hair, smiling, not smiling, looking very attractive, at least eight points similar to what Spielberg intended for Schindler.

He looked at Adrian, and he looked at the photo in his hand, and he pulled out the second photo. After seeing the figure on the picture, Spielberg took a deep breath again, and the person in the photograph sat in front of the typewriter, wearing simple work clothes, with a hexagonal star on his left chest representing the Jews, wearing round glasses and a serious face. He knew the actor, who was black and white, and had one in his profile for Adrian, but he never thought he was so fit to be a Jewish accountant, Stein.

Spielberg couldn't wait to take out the third photograph. Surely, he wasn't disappointed. The people in the photograph were cold eyed in SS uniforms. The marble-like five officers seemed to have been cut out with a knife, because there was some backlight that made his eyelids look a little low, but at the same time gave a cold, evil feeling. If it's just a look, I'm afraid no one can play Amon but this guy in the picture? Gaussian too.

As he grew out of breath, Spielberg pinched his nose and suddenly felt dizzy.

“Based on the script's description of Schindler's image, the cast is Liam? Nelson, who's 40 years old, Irish, has a lot of stage drama and TV and movie performance experience,” Adrian explains, "Based on Stein's image, I'm sure you should know that in the 55th Oscar, you got the best male lead in Gandhi? Kingsley, although his father was of Hindu descent, his mother was of Jewish descent, and he was fit for the role in terms of temperament. As for the last one, SS officer Amon? Gus, is that British actor Ralph? Feyns, there's a lot of work, but there's a lot of potential, and I think he's got some kind of evil trait that suits the character very well. He almost beat the person he made contact with to take this photo until he signed a tough inequality pact, but now it seems worthwhile. ”

“Honestly, Ed, I don't know what to say right now.” Spielberg straightened his body and looked at Adrian with a bitter smile, making a few gestures and not being able to speak.

These three black and white photographs have been fully endorsed by him, and he doesn't think there are any more suitable actors than these three.

“It's okay, that's what I'm supposed to do.” Adrian smiled and looked sincere.

Spielberg was suddenly confused, and he didn't understand why Adrian had to go so hard for the film. He was willing to invest in Schindler's Understanding just to be able to direct and produce Jurassic Park, and he didn't need to be so enthusiastic about it, did he? In fact, by inviting him here today, he has decided to speak briefly, to show respect for investors and then to expel them.

Unexpectedly, after Adrian arrived, he helped solve a key problem in a movie, followed by three exceptionally suitable actors, which was really... weird.

“I do have an idea about costume props, especially the costumes of over 20,000 temporary actors," Adrian said to himself when he saw Spielberg not talking and revisited the information, "I'm sure the Poles still have a lot of clothes from the '3s and' 4s that the crew can buy from them and they'll be happy to sell. And the other thing is, temporary actors, I think we can invite some of the survivors or their descendants to the show, to let them feel the despair of the moment, and to make the film even more real -- which, of course, is just my suggestion. ”

Speaking of this, Adrian remembers something to go on: “Also, I want you to arrange as much security work as possible when you shoot in Poland, when the Nazi occupation of Poland still made many Poles think that the Germans were good people at that time, and for some historical reasons, the Impact Theatre Group may not do this, but unfriendly to the theatre group is certain to do it, and it is necessary to do it well to prevent conflict. ”

Spielberg stared at him as if he had stopped thinking.

“In other ways, I just... oh, yeah, and the music, I think, John? Williams won't refuse your invitation, so I suggest the violin as a whole ~ organize the main instruments so we can invite to Izsák? Mr. Palman acted as a performer, thus better performing that history in many ways.” What did Adrian think of?

Rubbing his nose, an incredible feeling came to Spielberg's head, and he smiled and finally asked: “Ed, why... are you so enthusiastic about this movie? ”

“Because," Adrian laughed, with a very special calm tone, “that's what I should do. ”

Is this what you... should do? Spielberg had no idea why he could say that, and while he wanted to keep asking, Adrian, who flipped through the information, suddenly frowned: "Steven, are you going to do a field shoot in Krakow and Auschwitz? ”

Spielberg stunned: “Is there a problem? ”

“I don't think that's a good idea.” Adrian shook his head and raised the visuals in his hand, "that's not a good idea. ”

“Why?” Spielbergton got excited, “Why can't we go to the field? You know, Ed, how I felt when I went on a field trip to Poland more than half a month ago? I can't imagine how to build a scene like this in a studio, and I can't film what I want in a studio."

“Calm down, Steven, calm down," Adrian pressed his hands down seriously, “I understand how you feel, and I agree with you, but I still think it's inappropriate to go to Krakow and Auschwitz for a field shoot - just relax, listen to me, okay? You can go to Poland, you can rebuild a whole new landscape far away from Krakow and Auschwitz, you can build exactly the same landscape with your vision, you don't have to worry about money, if it's not enough, I can invest an extra 10 million, 20 million, no problem, but please don't go to Krakow and Auschwitz, don't disturb the dead souls, let them rest in peace."

Tap, the pen in his hand suddenly fell on the table because of excitement, Spielberg stared at Adrian, looking at the sincere and sombre face and couldn't say anything. He waved in some trance, seemingly immersed in shock, but the next second he suddenly stood up and held a 90 ° bow in front of Adrian, his nose almost sticking to the table.

“Hey, Steven, what are you doing?” Adrian quickly stood up and moved aside.

“Thank you for reminding me, Ed, that if it weren't for you, I would have made a terrible mistake." Spielberg bent down again, “I misunderstood you before, and I apologize for my behavior. ”

“No, Steven,” Adrian grabbed his shoulder, "you're just too busy trying to make this movie right, so you can't think it through. And I'm sure if no one else did, someone would have warned you. ”

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

They smiled at each other and sat down again.

“Nevertheless, I'd like to ask," Spielberg looks into his eyes, "Ed, I wonder why you're so passionate about Schindler's List? Can you tell me why? ”

“Because...” Adrian's fingers banged on the table, shooting a memorable look in her eyes, "My grandmother was Jewish, although she died a long time ago, but I can still remember the feeling in her arms. When I was determined to revitalize myself, I went through the diaries of many of my elders to find out that she had worked for Relief Society in Time of War in the '40s...”
