Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

"Mr. Qiao, this story is really moving, but please forgive me for thinking that to make such a movie, a Chinese person is more suitable than me." After listening to Qiao Feng's introduction of the 13 Jinling hairpins, Spielberg After pondering for a while, he said with a sorry face.

I rubbed it, and used Martin Scorsese's reason for rejecting you. Do you refuse to be so careless?

Qiao Feng looked at Spielberg with a gloomy look. He was very stubborn about this guy. Choosing a domestic director, Hong Kong basically didn't need to think about it. At least Qiao Feng was not a candidate for a large-scale war film.

As for China, the five generations of directors at this time still played art, but the production of art films completely failed to achieve Qiao Feng's purpose of letting the world understand that period of history.

The red sorghum photographed by Zhang Guoshi also had anti-Japanese plots, but it was about to end. Therefore, Qiao Feng didn't want to consider the country, but there were really no such people.

Not to mention this time, there will be no such people thirty years later, Nanjing Nanjing and Zhang Guoshi’s Jinling thirteen hairpins can only be said to be above the standard. But they have to shoot with Spielberg’s rescue soldiers Ryan and Schindler The list of films like this is super high in terms of artistic achievement and commercial level. It is really not a little bit worse.

Spielberg is worthy of being a Jew. He is an absolute film master when he picks up the guide tube, but put down the guide tube, this guy is an out-and-out movie businessman.

Qiao Feng never felt that Spielberg was genuinely rejecting. He felt that Spielberg was just waiting for the price.

As for the reasons Spielberg gave, it is even more nonsense, just as Spielberg said that he didn't know much about those things during the war against Japan.

Because just two years ago, the new movie that Spielberg shot after shooting the purple was shot in Shanghai, and even the story of the shooting was about the Japanese invasion of China.

It's just that the perspective is developed from the perspective of Jim, a British child who separated from his parents during the war in Shanghai.

The movie's name is the Empire of the Sun, and it is made from the plaster of the little devil's flag.

Jim was born in the home of a British businessman in Shanghai. He lived a life of worry-free food and clothing since he was a child. Jim had a wish to become a fighter pilot and fly his beloved fighter plane to the sky. World War II broke out and the Japanese army occupied Shanghai. Although Jim He was separated from his family and sent to a Japanese concentration camp, but here he saw the long-awaited "Zero" fighter.

More than three years of life in a concentration camp has made the former naive Jim a bit more mature. Not only has he learned the concentration camp truth that "to eat anything can be done", but he has also dealt with people more smoothly than before, so that even the Japanese army Cao also looked at him differently, so Jim accompanied his dream of flying through the hardest days of the concentration camp, and finally reunited with his parents who loved him after the war.

Spielberg re-examined this war through the eyes of a child. In the film, he did not play up the war a lot, but the influence of the demon machine of war on the entire human race is deeply etched in the characters in the play. In the soul.

In this film, he further reflected on the war, showing that as long as there is a war, it will definitely cause immeasurable damage to mankind.

The little boy who played the leading actor in this movie is the American false priest Christian Bell in Zhang Guoshi’s Jinling Thirteen Hairpins. He stood out from the four thousand candidates and became a hit. He has become a model of youth and fame, and in the future will embark on the broad road of the world's top superstars.

The film was mainly shot at Elstree Studios in the United Kingdom, but the most important location was Shanghai.

After a year of negotiations with Shanghai Film and China Film Co., Ltd. in 1985, the main creators of the film were allowed to start filming for three weeks in early March 1987.The Chinese government allowed the crew to change some characters into traditional Chinese and temporarily closed some blocks for filming. In addition, more than 5,000 local extras were used.

At that time, in order to obtain the real scene, Spielberg removed all the ships produced after the 1930s on the Huangpu River.

It took more than two years from the beginning of preparations to contact the location to the final shooting

"Steven, how are you willing to make this story?" Seeing that the story couldn't move Spielberg, Qiao Feng directly asked him to make the offer.

"Mr. Qiao, I really don't have a schedule. I have too many work arrangements." Spielberg's face changed. He didn't expect Qiao Feng to be so direct, and he didn't like to go around like the Chinese.

"Steven, I know that you have a story about the Holocaust in your hand and you have been unable to find a suitable director. I don't think you need to find another director. You yourself are the most suitable director. And if you take the film, I tell This story, I think, will have a lot of reference and accumulation for directing the Holocaust film in the future. "Qiao Feng persuaded from another angle.

Spielberg's eyelids moved, showing that his heart was a little unstable due to Qiao Feng's persuasion.

Qiao Feng's words did speak to Spielberg's concerns. Why did he always look for others to direct such a movie, because he himself is really not sure whether he can manage this movie about the Holocaust.

After all, because of his Jewish identity and his Ukrainian origin, a total of 17 members of his Ukrainian family were murdered in Polish Nazi concentration camps. Spielberg was worried that he would be swayed by his own subjectivity, and eventually The film made has lost its objectivity. In that case, the film will not be recognized by too many audiences.

But if you filmed the story of the Jinling Thirteen Panties, some war scenes, massacre scenes, and so on, too many ideas that you are not sure about can be put into practice in this movie.

In that way, when you shoot Schindler’s list in the future, whether it’s preparation work or some ideas, you can do it more fully and do better. The final film will definitely be more in line with your own vision and will be more recognized by the audience. Right?

Spielberg thought so, and couldn't help but tap his chin, seeing this scene Qiao Feng's face showed a touch of joy.

"There is hope." Qiao Feng thought a little excited.

Qiao Feng thought Spielberg should agree next, but apparently he was a bit too optimistic and thought too well. I saw Spielberg nodded first, then shook his head, and said with regret: "Mr. Joe, I Still cannot accept your invitation."
