The filming of "The Pianist" can be said to be difficult, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of Polanski and Daniel for the characters. Daniel is consistent with his own requirements, and he sees "The Pianist" as a qualitative change in his two decades of interpretation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has devoted himself to it. As for Polanski, he originally had a horizontal line for his presentation of Spearman, but seeing Daniel's appearance, especially after the shooting continued, this horizontal line continued to rise.

However, on the other hand, this can also be said to be the most worry-free shooting experience for Daniel, there is no delay, you just need to drill deep into the role, and you don't have to think about whether it is in line with the box office and the award.

Perhaps people like Daniel Day Lewis will have a lot of similar experiences, and they are relatively more attentive in their choice of plays, but for Daniel himself, this is really unique.

……

"Cannes?" Daniel can't remember whether "The Pianist" won at this year's Cannes Film Festival, but Polanski was shocked by the decision he told him at the end of the film.

It's already two months now, and the filming schedule is actually very smooth and fast, but with less than three months to go before the Cannes Film Festival, which opens in mid-May, it is not an easy task for Polanski to cut the film in such a short time, and with his emphasis on "The Pianist", he should also sacrifice the quality of the film for the Cannes Film Festival.

"Surprised, isn't it?" Polanski's expression was even a little mild, and it seemed that after filming "The Pianist", some shadows were removed from his heart, "Do you think my mind is not clear?" ”

Daniel squeezed his eyes and didn't deny it, which made Polanski laugh out loud.

Polanski pointed to his head, "Daniel, do you know, everything is in it, every frame and every shot of "The Pianist" is in it, three months? No, give me a month and a half and I'll be able to cut it out. I've waited for it for too long. ”

After a moment of silence, in the lingering aroma of coffee, Daniel nodded, he understood Polanski, he also had 100% trust in him, he believed that the best "Pianist" had indeed been stored in Polanski's heart, and now, all it took was to pass through these materials and editors to make it born.

"I hope you can come to the Cannes Film Festival."

Daniel thought about it, in May, "Spy Shadow" will be released in June, and it is not impossible to find time, "I'll come, but I'm not sure how many days I can stay." ”

Polanski understands him very well, this is a superstar sitting on a rocket after all.

The popularity of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring" has not diminished, and he can be sure that the filmmaker must have made a lot of money on the peripherals, because even in Germany, he can see a lot of peripherals, figurines, keychains almost everywhere, in the homes of those friends of the Bolsh siblings. Of course, the most seen is his-Legolas figurines.

It's hard to imagine that feeling, it's quite strange indeed, that your image is placed at the bedside, on the table, in the cabinet of so many people, that they may go back and rub it at any time, from beginning to end, from front to back. He saw Collins Porsh praise his figurines in front of him, her slender white fingers caressing the little figure, on the chest, on the back, and down...... Although he was quite calm on the spot, when Collins's small hand touched the key parts, he still felt as if his body was overpowered.

You can't think about this kind of thing at all, and once you think about it, there will never be a time for peace.

Fair and Collins did not witness Daniel's history in the United States, but they felt very intuitively the process of his fame in Germany, when he first arrived in Germany, he would also be recognized by many people, but everyone was more restrained, and later the British paparazzi came over, which restricted his actions, but after all, the British and American entertainment circles are deeply involved, and Germany does not empathize. But after the release of "The Lord of the Rings," this situation changed abruptly, and Daniel could no longer appear in public, and he had to go to the most private restaurants and malls - thanks to Collins, without this snake, Daniel would probably be trapped at home as he would be in Los Angeles.

As for the other actors in "The Pianist", including small supporting roles like Diane Kruger, the feeling is more intuitive, and the people who try to sneak into the studio are becoming more and more unprepared, and the number of people waiting outside the studio is also increasing, and the screams of Daniel are getting louder and louder. This almost establishes a real perceptible impression of what Hollywood superstars are treated like.

Daniel, of course, would not have known that Diane and Guillaume would have sparked a lot of arguments because of Diane's psychological changes, thus shortening their marriage that could have lasted until 2006 by a full three years.

How popular "The Fellowship of the Ring" is, sometimes Daniel is not so standard, because he is the most popular Hollywood star. Just look at Dominic Monaghan, who is now one of Germany's most famous film actors.

……

"Helen, I'm sorry, but there's really no way. Okay, when I get back, let's talk about Hotel Rwanda. Daniel was about to leave Berlin and return to Los Angeles when he received a call from MGM's Helen Deleux. He has apologized several times, entirely because of the previous Golden Globe ceremony of "Legally Blonde", which is not a big deal, but MGM takes it more seriously, Reese Witherspoon was shortlisted for the music comedy actress, and the movie was also shortlisted for the best sound comedy, but Daniel was quite shocked by the nomination, not to mention believing that they would win the award.

He prefers to believe that the Golden Globes put "Legally Blonde" in it because they wanted to attract some ratings, after all, as the most topical comedy movie last year, and the box office was high, the crowd of attention is very large, for the Golden Globe Awards, which has always hoped to attract audiences, it is not a big deal to give them a nomination.

But Daniel was at a critical moment of filming at that time, of course, it was impossible to take leave to go back to Los Angeles to participate, not to mention that Emmett was not nominated for the best actor, and even if he was nominated, it was impossible for him to leave Berlin at that time for a small probability event.

Anyway, he's still a little sorry for Helen, after all, she wants to make Legally Blonde a perfect project.

The same thing happened with "The Fellowship of the Ring", but fortunately, Peter Jackson was nominated for Best Director, but he didn't believe in the drama himself, and of course he wouldn't ask the actors to do it - in fact, there was no actor from "The Fellowship of the Ring" who was nominated for any of the awards. It's a bit of a surprise that Ian McLean wasn't shortlisted for supporting actor, and because of this, Daniel made a special call to comfort Ian Sr.

In fact, the longer Daniel stays in Hollywood, the more people have entanglements with him, and this time the Golden Globe Awards have a lot to do with him. The new Golden Globe actor Russell Crowe can be regarded as fighting his way out of a high-ranking team, defeating his rival Denzel Washington - and Daniel collaborated on "Hotel Rwanda", which was completed more than half a month later than Daniel. In addition, Reese Witherspoon and Peter Jackson are all films in which Daniel participated, and Ron Howard also has several relationships, as well as Angelina Jolie's father, and Jon Voight, the actor who performed brilliantly in "School Blues".

Therefore, on the night of the award, he also had to make several phone calls, some in need of blessings, others in need of comfort. However, Nicole Kidman, who had a falling out with Tom, became the most watched woman of the night with "Moulin Rouge", and I don't know if she needs blessing or comfort.

This year's Oscar invitation has been sent to Kusa, and there is no notice of whether he needs to present the award, according to tradition, the winner of the last acting award is very promising to present the award on stage.

In general, this awards season has little to do with him, of course, the two films "Legally Blonde" and "The Fellowship of the Ring" still made him never leave the audience's field of vision throughout the second half of 2001.

The thought of returning to the vortex of right and wrong in Los Angeles made Daniel still have a bit of a headache.

"The Fellowship of the Ring," anti-war, Roman Polanski, he can think of the nasty topics that journalists might ask him.

But life is like this, and you can't always move forward gradually.
