"Mr. Qiao, this story is indeed moving, but please forgive me for thinking that to make such a movie, a Chinese is more suitable than me." After listening to Qiao Feng finish talking about the thirteen hairpins of Jinling, Spielberg pondered for a while and said with an apologetic face.

I rubbed it, and even used Martin Scorsese to reject your reason.

Qiao Feng looked at Spielberg with a depressed face, he couldn't help this guy's stubbornness.

As for China, the five generations of directors at this time were still playing art, but the art film could not achieve Qiao Feng's goal of letting the world know about that period of history.

Although the red sorghum photographed by Zhang Guoshi also has an anti-Japanese plot, it has come to an end.

Not to mention that at this time, there is no such person in thirty years, and Nanjing, Nanjing and Zhang Guoshi's Jinling Thirteen Hairpins can only be said to be above the level, but compared with Spielberg's list of saving soldiers Ryan and Schindler, which are super high in terms of artistic achievement and commercial level, it is really not a little worse.

Spielberg is worthy of being Jewish, and he is an absolute master of cinema when he picks up the guide, but when he puts down the guide, this guy is an out-and-out movie businessman.

Qiao Feng never felt that Spielberg was really refusing, he felt that Spielberg was just waiting for the price to sell.

As for the reasons given by Spielberg, it is even more nonsense, just like Spielberg said that he did not know much about those things during the Anti-Japanese War.

Because just two years ago, Spielberg's new film after filming purple was made in Shanghai, and even the story filmed was about the Japanese invasion of China.

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

The name of the movie is Sun Empire, and it is based on the plaster of the flag of the little devil.

Jim was born in a British businessman's family in Shanghai, and lived a worry-free life since he was a child, Jim had a wish that he dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot, flying into the sky with his beloved fighter plane;

More than three years of camp life made the former naïve Jim a little older, not only learned the concentration camp truth of "you can do anything to eat", but also became much more tactful than before, so that even the Japanese army Cao looked at him differently, so Jim accompanied his dream of flying through the most difficult days of the concentration camp, and finally reunited with his parents who loved him deeply after the war.

Spielberg re-examines the war through the eyes of a child, and he does not play up the war much in the film, but the impact of the demon machine of war on the entire human race is deeply engraved in the souls of the characters in the play.

In this film, he further reflects on war, showing that as long as there is war, it will inevitably cause immeasurable damage to mankind.

The little boy who plays the leading role in this movie is Christian Bale, the American false priest in Zhang Guoshi's Jinling Thirteen Hairpins, who stood out from 4,000 candidates, and became an instant hit, becoming a model of fame at a young age, and embarked on the road of the world's top superstars in the future.

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

In 1985, after a year-long negotiation with Shanghai Film and China Film Company, the film's main creators were allowed to start filming for three weeks in early March 1987. The Chinese government allowed the crew to change some characters to Chinese traditional, temporarily closed some neighborhoods for filming, and used more than 5,000 local extras.

At that time, in order to obtain the real scene, Spielberg removed all the boats on the Huangpu River that were produced after the thirties.

From the beginning of the preparation of the filming location to the final shooting before and after the release of more than two years, it can be said that Spielberg has a fairly considerable understanding of both that period of history and Chinese mainland, at least not as ignorant as he himself said.

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

"Mr. Qiao, I really don't have a schedule, and I have too much work scheduled." Spielberg's face changed, he didn't expect Qiao Feng to be so direct, not at all like the Chinese like to go around the bend.

"Steven, I know that you have a story about the Holocaust in your hand and have not been able to find a suitable director, I don't think you need to find another director, you yourself are the most suitable director. Qiao Feng changed his angle and persuaded him.

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

Qiao Feng's words really hit Spielberg's fears, why did he keep looking for someone else to direct such a film, because he himself was really unsure if he could handle this film about the Holocaust.

After all, because of his Jewish identity, and because he was born in Ukraine, a total of 17 members of his large family in Ukraine were murdered in Polish Nazi concentration camps, Spielberg was worried that he would be swayed by his own subjective opinions, so that the final film would lose its objectivity, and then the film would not be recognized by too many audiences.

But if you shoot the story of the Thirteen Pillars of Jinling, there are too many unsure ideas and ideas that you are not sure about, such as some war scenes and massacre scenes, and you can put them into practice in this movie.

In that way, if you make Schindler's list in the future, whether it is preparation or some ideas, you can do more fully and better, and the final film will definitely be more in line with your own ideas and more recognized by the audience, right?

Spielberg thought so, his jaw couldn't help but twitch, and when he saw this scene, Qiao Feng's face showed a touch of joy.

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

Qiao Feng thought that Spielberg should agree next, but obviously he was a little too optimistic and thought too well.I saw Spielberg first nodded, then shook his head, and said with an apologetic face: "Mr. Qiao, I still can't accept your invitation."
