726 [Consider a blockbuster]

To be honest, from a cinematic point of view alone, "Empire of the Sun" is indeed a good film.

But as a Chinese, Wang Zijun always feels uncomfortable watching it. Because this film is based on Westerners and himself, leading to the contradictions and surnames in the war, and the Chinese who have suffered from the trauma of the war have become a cold background in it.

It can be said that when the screenwriter created the script, Westerners and Yu himself were flesh and blood people, regardless of good or evil, and the Chinese in it were just plot props. This is a kind of "ciluo" naked disregard, and it is also the most unhappy place for Wang Zijun.

Spielberg has a headache now, he asked Wang Zijun to shoot "Schindler's Ark", but now the atmosphere is very stiff because of "Empire of the Sun".

Spielberg sighed: "Wang, I'm sorry, the script of "Empire of the Sun" has been decided. ”

Wang Zijun nodded and said: "I understand, after all, the Chinese box office market is very bad, and the film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is inevitable to beautify the army." ”

Spielberg wanted to refute that his films were purely artistic, but this kind of thing was okay for the audience, and it was in vain to say such things to Wang Zijun. If this "Sun Empire" is filmed twenty years later, the image of the Yue army in it will definitely be much more murderous, while the image of the Chinese will be improved, which is determined by the box office. Just like some later Hollywood blockbusters, in order to please the Chinese audience, they rigidly wanted to get Chinese actors or Chinese elements.

And in American movies in the 80s, the general image of Chinese people is worse than that of black people.

"King, come and taste the Sarah I made!" Amy Erwen hugged her son and beckoned Wang Zijun to eat.

With Amy out to speak, the atmosphere finally eased. Spielberg chewed Sarah and said, "Wang, you can indeed consider making Schindler's Ark." Of course, part of the movie budget may have to be solved by yourself. ”

The latter sentence is the point, Wang Zijun muttered in his heart and asked: "I remember that Mr. Sienberg, who you just said about buying the film rights of "Schindler's Ark", seems to be the chairman of Universal Pictures. Are you sure that the copyright of Schindler's Ark is not in Universal Pictures? ”

Spielberg said, "Yes, Mr. Sienburg has already transferred the film rights to me personally. Spielberg sighed, "In fact, I have always wanted to shoot Schindler's Ark myself, but I really don't have the energy, and I can't afford to shelve the script." In addition, many film companies are not optimistic about the box office of this movie, but Zachary, you are also a director, you should understand his value, so I found you. ”

Wang Zijun suddenly laughed and said: "Stephen, I think your inseparability with Schindler's Ark, just as I hate "Empire of the Sun", is all caused by national emotions. ”

Spielberg was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I ignored your national feelings earlier, and I will revise the script one by one." ”

This is the result of empathy.

The movie "Schindler's List", for various reasons, spanned ten years from buying the film rights to filming. If it weren't for Spielberg's Jewish national complex, he would have been thrown into the wastebasket as garbage.

Hearing Spielberg's apology, Wang Zijun smiled, and then asked: "I have a little doubt, "Empire of the Sun" has the same theme as "Schindler's Ark", and "Empire of the Sun" needs to go to China for filming, and the budget should be much larger. Why do some people invest in "Empire of the Sun" and not watch "Schindler's Ark"? ”

"It's different," Spielberg shook his head, "'Empire of the Sun' looks at war from a child's point of view, and weakens the suffering of war a lot. "Schindler's Ark" is in the form of a semi-documentary, and the content is too heavy, which can easily arouse the audience's resistance and fail at the box office. As for why the film company is willing to shoot "Empire of the Sun", because this movie is related to Chinese and himself. China is opening its doors, and its economy is exploding, and fans in Europe and the United States are interested in both countries. ”

"Yes," Wang Zijun nodded, "I said I would quit Hollywood, so I won't direct English films anymore." But I can invest, as long as Stephen you find a good director, I can always pay for it. Actually, I've always felt that you are the most suitable person to direct this movie. ”

"You're not the first person to say that, and it looks like I should really think about shooting it myself." Spielberg said with a smile that although Wang Zijun was reluctant to come out as a director, he was still happy to promise investment.

Wang Zijun asked: "Then when do you plan to shoot "Schindler's Ark"? I think it was the most appropriate release in 1990 to commemorate the 45th anniversary of the victory over fascism. ”

"Sounds like a good idea." Spielberg smiled and asked, "Then is your "Nanjing Massacre" also ready to be released at that time?" ”

Wang Zijun restrained his smile and nodded, "Maybe you can try." ”

The Nazi massacre of Jews in Germany can be made into "Schindler's List", why can't the Nanjing Massacre created by himself?

People all over the world know that the Nazis massacre Jews on a massive scale, and Schindler's List made a great contribution. And what about the Nanjing Massacre? Wang Zijun remembers a 2007 survey showing that 95 percent of Americans had never heard of the Nanjing Massacre.

After leaving Spielberg's house, Wang Zijun had been thinking about this for a long time, and only when he returned to Tulip Manor did he make a decision to make a film about the Nanjing Massacre.

The first thing to consider is the script, there are several later films of the same theme for him to learn from, but only individual plots are borrowed, and he wants to make a new story.

Wang Zijun suddenly thought of Thomas Keneally, the original author of Schindler's List, who later wrote about the Nanjing Massacre, and publicly stated that Ben Zhengaxe should apologize to the Chinese people for this.

Thomas Keneally's Schindler's Ark, which was a big hit four years ago, would have worked much better if he had been asked to write a film about the Nanjing Massacre and then adapt it into a movie.

Moreover, if the author of the original book becomes Australian, then there is no reason for the right-wing to argue that the Chinese talk to themselves and make up stories.

Information about the Nanjing Massacre is available in many countries in Europe and the United States, especially Germany, Britain, and the United States, and there are even many eyewitnesses who took photos of the scene, so it is not difficult to collect information. Not only that, but you can also go to Chinese mainland to search for the parties.

However, this can be done slowly, and it is not too late to start shooting in three years, just in time for the 45th anniversary of the victory of the world anti-fascists.

"What do you think? So fascinating. Guan Zhilin stretched out her arms from behind the chair and hugged Wang Zijun, and asked with her chin resting on his shoulder.

"Oh, nothing." Wang Zijun was interrupted from his thoughts, turned his head and kissed Guan Zhilin's face, and asked, "What about Qiangqiang?" You took her out shopping, why did you come back alone. ”

Guan Zhilin heard Wang Zijun call "Qiang Qiang" so affectionately, she couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart, and said with a small mouth, "I changed into new clothes in the room, I haven't seen you care about me so much." ”

"What, jealous?" Wang Zijun said with a smile, "I am her elder, of course I have to take care of it in a foreign country." ”

Guan Zhilin couldn't help but squirt: "It's strange elders, you big pervert can't wait to swallow other people's little girls in your stomach." ”

"You can see that, too? My bad intentions aren't so obvious. Wang Zijun made a joke and asked, "I'll go back to make a movie tomorrow, why don't you really go together?" ”

Guan Zhilin turned to Wang Zijun, straddled Wang Zijun's lap, hooked her arms around Wang Zijun's neck and said: "It's so comfortable to live in this manor, I haven't lived enough, so I won't go back to face those annoying paparazzi." Saying that, she squirmed gently on Wang Zijun's body close to her body, deliberately tempting, "Husband, you have to leave tomorrow, you have to hurt me well tonight." ”

When Xiao Yan, who had changed into a new set of clothes, bumped in, she happened to see the two kissing there.

"Brother Wang, look at my pants...... Ah, you go on, I, I didn't see anything......" Xiao Yan turned around and ran, almost falling when she went out.

"Bang!" Xiao Yan closed her bedroom door, her back against the door and kept panting, her small chest continued to breathe together, and she didn't know if she was tired of running or something else.

This is already the second time that Xiao Yan has bumped into Wang Zijun.

The first time was more than a year ago, when I broke into the bathroom after Wang Zijun and Lin Fengjiao's passion. Lin Fengjiao's appearance after the peach-skinned "gaochao" with intoxicated eyes was like a brand in Xiao Yan's mind, making her unable to forget it.

Xiao Yan lay down on the bed, her little hand couldn't help but reach to the base of her leg, and a slight "shenyin" came out of her mouth.

This is Xiao Yan's self-taught ability after that incident, but she obviously doesn't study it too deeply, and only rubs her fingers on it and keeps rubbing it.

Closing her eyes, Xiao Yan fantasized about Brother Wang holding herself, and then stripped her naked and kept kissing, kissing and kissing...... Well, in the era when this educational film was not yet popular, Xiao Yan, like most pure girls, stopped fantasizing about the surname at the step of naked hugging and kissing.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Who?" The sudden knock on the door woke up the imaginary Xiao Yan, who jumped up from the bed like a frightened fawn.

"I," Wang Zijun's voice came from outside, "Well, it's time to eat." ”

"It's coming......" Xiao Yan hurriedly buttoned up her loosened pants and went out with her cheeks crimson, but she didn't dare to look at Wang Zijun again. Her legs were already wet, and she felt that Wang Zijun had been following behind her, and she was about to fall down when she suddenly broke her foot.

"Are you alright?" Wang Zijun reached out and hugged her.

"No ......" Xiao Yan, who was hugged by Wang Zijun, had a faster heartbeat, and she barely stood firm by holding on to the railing.
