Chapter 951 "The Shawshank Redemption"
Cheng Xiaoyu left after doing something on the set of Peter Kopla, fortunately, this time it was just a small riot and did not affect the filming of the movie, although Catherine's performance behind her was consciously out of state, but the director Peter was very satisfied, because almost all of them passed, and the shooting task of the day ended relatively early.

After greeting the crew, Catherine Blanchett returned home in the nanny car, and along the way she still felt that today's events were really a bit ridiculous, how could she agree to such an unknown person to help deliver the script, maybe her grandfather would laugh at her.
She walked into the living room in an unhappy mood, hesitated for a moment, but turned around and asked the maid standing at the door, "Is my grandfather at home?"
The maid in the maid's costume hurriedly replied, "Mr. Staven is reading the newspaper on the balcony!"
Catherine nodded, and walked towards the balcony on the second floor, although she hated the person who didn't know what to do, and felt that Cheng Xiaoyu was just a rich boy who wanted to be opportunistic and arrogant, but since she promised Cheng Xiaoyu to show her grandfather the script, she planned to do it, and she was going to record his grandfather's comments, and then send them to him, so that he would die of this heart, and this impostor in the province would continue to pester her.......
When Catherine went up, Staven Bell was lying in a rocking chair in his pajamas reading the Los Angeles Times, and when Catherine opened the glass door and made a noise, Staven Bell pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and when he looked back and saw that it was his precious granddaughter, he immediately smiled kindly and said, "Oh, my baby, did the shooting go well today?"
Staven Bell's white hair is slightly raised in the evening wind, and the sunset is red hanging on the sea not far away, the scenery here is beautiful, and Staven Bell loves to bask in the sun and drink a cup of warm tea here.
Catherine leaned over her grandfather's neck, kissed his wrinkled side cheek, then straightened up and said, "How can you come back so early, it's basically all over again, and inviting an actor like me can save a lot of film money for Peter's foul-mouthed weird uncle....." After saying that, Catherine sat down on a chair under the parasol on the side, she didn't like to bask in the sun.
Catherine had a very good relationship with her grandfather, not only because Staven Bell loved her the most, but also because Staven Bell was her first idol, and her father was only second on her idol list.
Staven Bell didn't blame Catherine for her ridicule, but just smiled and said: "Every director has his own style, and Peter himself said that he is not inspired if he doesn't swear on set....... It's like I only use my own pot...... "Staven Bell has a lot of quirks, one is that he likes to collect chairs, and there is a large room in this manor that is full of chairs bought by Stavin Bell, ranging from cheap to tens of thousands of dollars, and the second is that when he was making movies, he had to cook macaroni in his own pot before eating.......
Maybe Catherine has too many big directors and big stars, so she doesn't take Peter seriously, she explained to Staven Bell: "I don't care if he s......colds others! In that case, don't invite me! The relationship between the director and the actor is cooperative..... I'm not his tool...... We're working on a work together......"
Knowing that his granddaughter has always been very arrogant, ordinary preaching will definitely not work, so he smiled and said: "The relationship between actor and director is sometimes painful and often frustrating, but more often it is exciting, in fact, you should also listen to Director Peter's opinion, after all, the director is the observer, and the actor is the observed." The actor is exposed and in a vulnerable position. ”
Catherine nodded to show that she understood, she didn't want to talk too much about the play she was filming and the director Peter Copla, because she thought it was a bad movie, if it wasn't for being able to play against the actor Douglas, she would never have taken this play, she took out the script that was folded out of her satchel and said to Staven Bell. "Knowing my grandfather, I won't do my best to ..... because I hate this director" Then she said with some hesitation: "I have a script given to me by someone else, tell me to show it to you......" Even if I am ridiculed by my grandfather, it is better than being pestered by a megalomaniac, Catherine thought to herself.
Staven put down the newspaper and looked at Catherine with some surprise and said, "Oh, who gave you the script, and you have a good relationship? My darling, you've never done anything like this...... Is that a recommendation?"
Catherine showed a disdainful expression and said, "No, no, Grandpa, you can just take a look, there is no need to be serious........ This person is arrogant and narcissistic, what kind of script can he write, and the beginning is a shameful picture....... At first glance, it's not a good product, maybe it's a livestock who relies on his own little money, coaxes women everywhere, and makes a movie saying that maybe he just wants the capital he can brag about......"
Hearing Catherine's series of slanders, Staven Bell laughed and said, "Then why do you show it to me......."
"It's hard to change your mind because you agreed...... Catherine said angrily......
"Then I'll have to see if my precious eyes are sharp......" Stavon Bell was interested when he heard Catherine's comment, folded the newspaper and put it on the coffee table, took the thin script, pushed down his glasses, and began to read it seriously.
Catherine saw that Stavon Bell had turned the first page, sat down and said, "Grandpa, don't give me face, criticize how bad this script is, I can tell that megalomaniac, give up the movie, don't waste time in Hollywood......"
Staven Bell smiled while reading .....the script and said, "I don't think it's as unbearable as you say!
"Soon I won't be interested in watching it..... I firmly believe ......," Catherine said confidently when she thought of Cheng Xiaoyu's annoying face. How can a person in his twenties who still looks like a teenager write a script that impresses his grandfather, this is what Catherine thinks at this time, grandpa is not too picky about the script, and he will not be a director for five years, only a producer, and that kid who doesn't know whether to live or die must be humiliating himself.
Stavon Bell was talking to Catherine at first, and after turning a few pages, he slowly sat up from the rocking chair, and did not talk to Catherine without a match, and was engrossed in the script.....
When Staven Bell saw the male protagonist Andy find a record of Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" from the prison library, Andy impulsively locked himself in the broadcast studio of Shawshank Prison, and loudly broadcast the famous aria "Tenderness of the Night" from "The Marriage of Figaro" through a loudspeaker.
The sharp foreign soprano pierced the sky above Shawshank, and Andy paid the price for the indiscriminate broadcast and was confined for two weeks. Andy points to his head and replies: Where there is music, there is freedom......
127. Interior, bathroom, daytime, 1955
Willy, who was reading a comic, stopped, a little strange. He felt as if he was hearing music.
Willy: Andy, did you hear that?
128. Interior, Guard Department/Outer Office, Daytime, 1955
Andy glanced towards the bathroom...... Laughed. He decided to take a gamble.
He suddenly got up and locked the front door, then the bathroom door as well. He walked over to his desk and found the megaphone's Mike. He plucked up the courage and turned all the switches to "on". There was a brief echo......
129. Interior/exterior, speakers everywhere, daytime, 1955
…… Mozart's music resounded throughout the prison.
130. Interior, bathroom, daytime, 1955
Willie got up quickly, and he didn't even have time to put his pants on.
131. Interior/exterior, Shawshank Prison, Various Places, Daytime, 1955
The prisoners stopped what they were doing, stunned by the sudden music, and looked up at the speakers as they listened.
132. The machines of the printing house stopped......
133. The assembly line in the laundry room is quiet,......
134. The machine in the carpentry shop stopped working......
135. Kitchen ...... Loading dock ...... ...... on the playground
The whole numb, rigid prison life seemed to come to a halt at this moment.
Everyone stood still, listening to the music as if they had been immobilized.
Rhett's narration in the script: To this day I don't know what those two Italian wives are singing, and I don't want to. It's better to keep some things unsaid. I think they're singing some really beautiful and moving stories, so beautiful that it's hard to put into words, and so beautiful that it hurts your heart. Let me tell you, these voices reach into the sky, flying farther than anyone dares to dream. It's like some beautiful bird flapping its wings to our brown cage and making those walls disappear without a trace. At that moment, everyone in Fort Shark felt free.
This scene appeared in Staven Bell's mind like a picture, he saw this paragraph, and felt the power called "freedom", although at this time the script was only about half seen, but this paragraph had completely made his blood boil, his lips were a little trembling, at this moment he had made up his mind, as long as the back was not too bad, he must put this movie on the big screen......
Catherine sat on the side and saw that her grandfather's expression was solemn and even implied a kind of excitement, and her heart also rose with curiosity, and she asked with some surprise: "Grandpa, is this script very good......
Stavin Bell didn't look up at Catherine, just stared at the script intently and nodded slightly.
Catherine felt a little incredulous, thinking that the Asian teenager was not arrogant, but really talented, and she got up from under her parasol, walked over to Staven Bell's side, and cast her eyes on the script that Staven Bell spread out on his lap.
One old and one young are in the afterglow of the sunset, and they are watching this story called "The Shawshank Redemption" seriously.
When the script is flipped to the last page, Act 292 moves towards the ship.
A man carefully removes the original paint from the ship, while carefully polishing the hull. He wears goggles and a mask on his face.
Red appeared in the distance, walking from the beach, dressed in his cheap suit and carrying the worthless bag.
The man on the side of the boat stopped what he was doing and turned around slowly. Red had come up to him, grinning. The man on the side of the boat lifted his glasses and took off his mask. That's right, this person is Andy.
Andy: You look like someone who can get all sorts of things.
Red: I'm really well-known for that.
Red took off his shirt and picked up a piece of sandpaper. The two of them worked together.
fade out
The end of the play
.......
Stavin Bell saw that he was in tears at the end, as a world-renowned director, Stavin Bell has been improving his artistic height in the later period, and the reason why he has not made movies is because awards and money are not enough to make him tempted, to his status, how to break through himself is the most important thing.
He thinks that he has honed his skills as a director, but he does not have a script in his hand that is worth polishing, he has already shot the war movie "War Horse" for human self-reflection on war, and he has also shot a film with great humanistic care such as "City Without a Sky", and he has tried all the themes of the film "Creation" that embodies family affection, the sci-fi film "Alien", the thriller "Shark's Mouth Escape" and so on, and has achieved amazing results, and this type of script is something he has never touched.....
Staven Bell's achievements have always been not in the box office and awards, but in the way he laid the foundation for today's Hollywood film style, he laid the foundation for the zero degree cut, laid the way of storytelling, and laid the way the story was expressed..... It can be said that he taught everyone how movies should be made.....
But he taught everyone to make movies, but now he doesn't know what kind of movie he should make, he can't feel the joy of making movies, but after reading this script today, he once again found his passion for making movies.....
He closed the script, turned to Catherine with tears in his eyes, and said, "Where is this megalomaniac? I can't wait to see him now........
