Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

"Steven." After Lin Qingxia had spoken to Spielberg about the 800 heroes and Yang Huimin, she stood aside and followed the fascinated Qiao Feng suddenly said: "Steven, since you I am so interested in that historical fact, I wonder if I would like to make a film related to this to let the people of the world know this historical fact that bears too much grief for the Chinese."

"Oh, Mr. Joe, if I have a chance, I would certainly be willing." Spielberg looked at Qiao Feng and said.

"just..."

"Just what?" Qiao Feng hurriedly asked when Spielberg was embarrassed.

"Miss Lin has already acted, and I am not used to repeating what others have filmed." Spielberg explained: "Moreover, I have a story about the Holocaust in my hand and I am looking for someone to direct it, and there is not much. time."

Holocaust

Qiao Feng's heart moved. He seemed to know which story Spielberg was telling. If there were no accidents, it would be famous. Perhaps it was the most famous movie about the Holocaust, Schindler’s list.

Schindler's list is adapted from real people and stories. It tells the story of a German named Schindler who went bankrupt and saved thousands of Jews during World War II.

As far as Qiao Feng knows, Schindler’s original novels on the list were published in 82 years ago. Once the original space-time was published, Schionburg immediately bought the copyright and gave it to Steven Spielberg. Hope he will direct this movie one day.

But Spielberg was worried that he could not tell the story fairly, because he was a Jew himself, and he was afraid that he would have too much subjective emotions.

Then Spielberg found Martin Scorsese, who is also a great director, but Martin Scorsese refused, because he also had his own concerns. He thought he could not treat this like a Jewish director. Work well.

Spielberg then approached Roman Polanski, but the director who was wanted by the United States for sexual harassment of a girl because of having sex with 13-year-old Samantha Gemmer was also rejected.

Not because he could not enter the United States, nor because he felt that the story was not good, but because he felt that he was not ready to make such a subject film.

Because Roman Polanski had experienced the Holocaust lightly, he happened to be a genocide of the Jews in World War II when he was a child. When he escaped on the day of reckoning, he had been living in the Jewish Quarter of Krakow until 8 year old.Later his mother died in Auschwitz concentration camp.

Because the theme was too personal, and because of his personal childhood experience, he felt that he was not yet ready to face the subject, so Roman Polanski also refused. However, after ten years, Roman Polanski finally prepared Well, the pianist who filmed the same classic movie about the Holocaust.

Spielberg also approached Billy Wilder, but was rejected as well, because the Oscar-winning director said that he had retired a long time ago and that he would live a retirement life when he retired. Out of the mountain again.

So, if Qiao Feng guessed right, Schindler’s list is still in the stage of finding a director so far, and Spielberg’s excuse that he has no time is his excuse.

However, even if this is the case, Qiao Feng can't point it out, otherwise it will not only embarrass each other, it will also cut off the possibility of Spielberg being directed.

"Steven, what I want you to direct is not the event of the Eight Hundred Heroes, but another story." Qiao Feng did not struggle with the question of whether there was time, but planned to use the story to move Spielberg.

"Oh, another story" Spielberg showed interest again.

"Yes, another story." Qiao Feng nodded and said with a heavy face: "During World War II, China was invaded by Japan, and Japan committed heinous crimes on the land of China. The 800 heroes mentioned by Miss Lin just now The story of is just the beginning of Japan's crimes on the land of China.

"Beginning" Spielberg raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes,

"Mr. Qiao, is this all you said is true?" Although I know some Japanese massacres in China, the fact that 300,000 innocent people in a city, women and children have been massacred and adulterated, still makes Spear Berg was extremely shocked and couldn't believe it.

"Of course, the Nanjing Massacre left a lot of historical data, many of which were foreigners. The reporter saw and experienced it personally in Nanjing. The story I'm telling is what an American friend recorded in her diary. Personal experience.'' Qiao Feng nodded.

"Who is this American, is this American still alive?" Spielberg asked sternly.

The meaning of what a Chinese person says is completely different from what an American person says. Chinese people may add many personal opinions and judgments due to subjective factors, but an American who is not a Chinese citizen, then what he says will definitely be It is inevitable to be more fair than the Chinese say.

"No, this American friend committed suicide in the apartment in 1941 because of severe depression." Qiao Feng shook his head and said, "I wonder if Steven, have you heard of Vautrin's diary"

"I haven't heard it." Spielberg thought about it and found that he didn't have any impression of the name.

"Vautrin's diary is the diary written by my American friend, and it records her personal experience at the time. Minnie Vautrin is the American friend I'm talking about, the Chinese famous Huaqun, she is an American missionary Taxi.

In 1919, Vautrin applied to Nanjing Jinling Women’s University in China to take charge of school affairs, prepare for the construction of a new campus, and encourage students to step out of the ivory tower, devote themselves to society, and serve the poor neighbors, such as teaching hygiene knowledge for neighboring women, and serving the campus twice a week The poor people around to see a doctor, etc., carried forward the spirit of the Golden Girl University motto.

Vautrin also used her vacation to study in Europe and the United States, and promoted adult education in Denmark and the Netherlands to China, which contributed to the education of Chinese women.

From August 12, 1937, to April 1940, Vautrin kept keeping a diary almost every day and mailed it to American friends on a monthly basis so that they could better understand current events in China.Friends in the United States at that time thought Vautrin's diary was very valuable, so they sent it to Cincinnati, Ohio for publication.In the first two years, people found the manuscript of Vautrin's diary when sorting through the archives of missionaries.

The diary records what Vautrin has seen and heard about helping women refugees at the Jinling Women's College of Arts and Sciences.
