Lin Youlun's willingness to support Spielberg's filming of "Schindler's List" is not unconditional, and he hopes that after Spielberg finishes making that film, he can consider making a film that shows the Japanese massacre of Chinese during World War II.

Lin Youlun actually has such a movie in his hand to shoot, after Mu Lifu finished filming "Resident Evil", Lin Youlun fulfilled his promise and supported him to start filming the sequel to "Black Sun 731" "Black Sun: Nanjing Massacre", this movie was made last year, but it was slow to pass the review on the mainland.

Objectively speaking, Mu Liaofu's heavy taste and heterochromic tendency does not hinder the social value orientation of the film itself, but the sword has a double edge, amplifying the sensory stimulation, although it increases the persuasiveness of the film, it is also suspected of attracting attention.

The scene of "Black Sun 731" is too bloody and cruel, and in "Black Sun: Nanjing Massacre", Mu Liaofu still has no restraint, and it is normal to be stuck on the mainland, of course, there are deeper political factors in it.

"Black Sun 731" was actually released before 1989, when the political atmosphere was moving towards liberalization, and although there were fears that the release of the film would undermine the current diplomatic situation of friendship between China and Japan, the film was still released smoothly.

However, after the turmoil in '89, China's diplomatic situation suddenly became much more passive, and based on such an international environment, it was naturally impossible for a film like "Black Sun: Nanjing Massacre" that touched the sensitive nerves of China and Japan to be allowed to be released.

Mu Liaofu originally planned to shoot the third "Farewell War", because "Black Sun: Nanjing Massacre" was not released in the mainland, and this matter could only be delayed indefinitely.

For a long time. Western countries only know about the Nazi massacre of Jews. I don't know that the Japanese army that invaded China once slaughtered Chinese frantically in World War II. International public opinion only condemned the atrocities of the Nazis in World War II and rarely criticized the atrocities of Japanese militarism in World War II. One of the important reasons for this is that in the decades since the victory in World War II, there has been too little propaganda and too weak voice in the mainstream of Western society about the historical facts of the Japanese invasion of China. Even a great director like Spielberg was shocked to learn that the Japanese had massacred more than 300,000 innocent citizens in just one week after the Japanese captured Nanjing during World War II.

"I have a few movies that reflect the crimes committed during Japan's invasion of China. However, the content of these films is too cruel and serious, so after Mr. Spielberg has finished filming "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List", I will hand over these films to you along with more detailed historical materials, and as for what kind of story to make based on this history, we will discuss it further at that time. ”

Lin Youlun knows very well in his heart that simply reflecting the history of the Nanjing Massacre, Mu Liaofu's "Black Sun: Nanjing Massacre" has done a good job, but it is not easy to really attract the attention of the international community.

The reason why the atrocities of the Nazis were constantly exposed after World War II was because the Jews occupied an important position in the whole of Western society, after a large amount of authentic information was declassified. The plight of the Jews quickly won the sympathy of the international community. In contrast, the influence of the Chinese in Western society is simply insignificant. At the same time, not many people are specifically looking for this evidence, so this history is not familiar to Western societies.

Moreover, during this period, both Chinese mainland and Taiwan, out of their own diplomatic and political needs, did not openly criticize Japan's crimes in the international community with great fanfare, and Japan also denied it in every possible way, so it also created a certain illusion for the international community.

In the face of these hardships, Spielberg's identity is very important in Lin Youlun's planning. It can be predicted that Spielberg's international prestige will reach a peak after filming "Schindler's List", and at this time, he will come forward to shoot a film that reflects the theme of the Nanjing Massacre, which will inevitably attract the attention of all parties

Spielberg's position as an American is objective and neutral, which can also greatly reduce the international community's doubts about the authenticity of the film's content.

"If Mr. Lin can guarantee that what you say is true about this history, I can accept the filming of this film unconditionally." Spielberg immediately took a stand.

Lin Youlun nodded, "Don't worry about this Mr. Spielberg, when you finish filming "Schindler's List", I should have found enough convincing evidence at that time, and these materials are collected from countries other than China, and the authenticity and objectivity can be fully guaranteed." ”

Seeing that Lin Youlun and Spielberg had reached a preliminary consensus, Lucas put down his coffee cup and interjected: "You two can end this heavy topic first, and then discuss it later, let's talk about our dinosaurs for now." ”

"Universal wanted to shoot the film on an island near Hawaii, and I wanted it the same way, so do I wonder what Mr. Dolin thinks about this?" Spielberg's visit this time also brought with him some conditions offered by Universal Company.

"There is no problem with this, of course, the size of the island should not be too large, and the transportation should be convenient. On the one hand, it was for the convenience of the film, and on the other hand, I wanted to buy the whole island after the film was completed. ”

Lin Youlun's idea startled Spielberg and Lucas, they both knew that Lin Youlun was very rich, but they didn't expect him to be so generous that he wanted to buy the entire island.

"Don't get me wrong, I bought the island for commercial development, and I'm personally very optimistic about the market potential of Jurassic Park after its release, and the sets built on the island during the filming will be permanently preserved, and then I'm going to build a dinosaur theme park like Disneyland on this island."

With such an explanation, Spielberg and Lucas were finally no longer as surprised as they were just now, and they were both very curious about Lin Youlun's business idea.

Lucas has always wanted to combine all the elements of the "Star Wars" series to create a movie theme park, but he has always lacked a specific idea in this regard, and Lin Youlun's idea of creating a dinosaur theme park has given him a lot of inspiration.

The two exchanged some views on this matter, but Spielberg, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but interject, "Lucas, I'm discussing with Mr. Lin about "Jurassic Park", can you discuss those things you care about later?" ”

Lucas shrugged his shoulders and apologized, then motioned for Spielberg and Lin Yolun to continue.

"I hope that the lead actor of the film will be played by an American." Spielberg went on to make one more request.

"That's fine, but I also have a request, I want at least half of the Chinese faces in the film, whether Chinese or Chinese."

Lin Youlun also made his own conditions after accepting Spielberg's request, if it were to be changed to another movie, Lin Youlun would at least require that one of the male and female protagonists must be Chinese, but "Jurassic Park" He did not ask in this regard, because the real protagonists of this movie are not human beings but those dinosaurs in the film that can be faked, of course, there is no need to be entangled in the question of whether the starring role is played by an American or a Chinese.

Spielberg thought about it for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement.

The two continued to discuss some details about the filming of the film, and finally reached a consensus.

"Lin, do you have any alcohol at home? I think we can make a toast to this collaboration. Lucas proposed.

Lin Youlun called the maid Mary and asked her to bring a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet.

After bringing the red wine, Lin Youlun personally poured wine into three wine glasses, and raised his glass to celebrate.

The three goblets clamed together with a crisp sound.

After taking a sip of his drink, Lucas moved on to a topic outside of the movie.

"Steven, your contract should expire after filming Schindler's List, what are your plans to continue to renew your contract with Universal after that?"

Spielberg shrugged, "I haven't thought about this yet, but I probably won't continue to renew my contract with Universal, you know that I've had enough of these big studios over the years, and I want to come out and make some movies I like." ”

Lucas nodded, then continued: "I have a better proposal, why don't you come out and form your own film company, so that your idea can be more perfectly realized." ”

Spielberg was a little strange why Lucas would make such a suggestion in front of Lin Youlun, but he still replied seriously: "I also considered forming my own company, but you know that this is not an easy task. ”

It's very simple to start a film company, but it is a big problem to run it well, especially for a big director like Spielberg, who has been famous for a long time, and his own company will definitely attract the attention of all parties, and if the company is not well run, the media will definitely associate this matter with himself, and the reputation accumulated over the years will inevitably be damaged.

In the final analysis, Spielberg's current concerns are burdened by fame.

Lucas immediately corrected and said: "No, no, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean that you should start a company alone, but find someone to partner with." ”

"And who are you referring to?" Spielberg asked subconsciously

"Me, and Mr. Lin!"

As soon as Lucas said this, not only Spielberg was surprised, but even Lin Youlun was surprised. (To be continued......)
