Li Donglai raised his hands with a slightly wry smile, put the information he found on the coffee table next to him, and then began to clean up, and then covered his forehead with a long sigh after a few times.

He has always been an informal person, and his office is often messed up, and every time it is tidied up by the secretary or staff, it is no less difficult for him to sort out the scattered materials than to let him fly out of the window.

Emma also saw that this house was full of messes, how to clean it up. Li Donglai was worried that she would have a stomachache after squatting for a long time, and said, "Baby, don't squat, I'm even more worried about you when you're tired." โ€

"But you have to clean up, you can do this little thing by yourself." She insisted.

Li Donglai was helpless, so he had to squat down and clean up with her. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered some abilities that seemed to be forgotten. Then his eyes changed, and an invisible wind suddenly rolled up in the room, "whirring ......"

Papers, books, and materials suddenly flew in the wind, filling the room.

"Oh, where did the wind come from, I hate to close the window quickly......"

As he spoke, he looked up and caught a glimpse of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, which was tightly closed. Then the scene she saw made her eyes widen, and she saw that the papers that were still flying around just now were like growing legs, and they were automatically superimposed. In the blink of an eye, the studio, which was a mess just a moment ago, is as neat as new.

Emma looked back in surprise at the person who created this unreasonable picture, only to see a wolf figure with a nosebleed, "Ah! You're bleeding again. The master said that you can't use it indiscriminately! โ€

Li Donglai hurriedly stroked a few times, but he couldn't stop the nosebleed, and his head was dizzy. "Uh, I'm a little dizzy, baby, come and help me...... Touch! Before the words were finished, the text that had been sorted out just now exploded again, as if it had suddenly encountered a violent wind.

Immediately afterwards, Li Donglai fell to the ground.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

It was noon when I woke up again, and the personal doctor had just left.

Emma glared at him angrily. With red eyes, he snorted: "The doctor said that you are just a minor problem, and you can't check the condition at all." But the master obviously told you not to use it indiscriminately, is it to be a superman? Don't you even want your life? Movies are not reality! โ€

Li Donglai stood up embarrassedly, and after repeated reassurances, he quieted down the frightened little pregnant woman.

jวng sue is just jวng sue, that kind of mysterious feeling of controlling a qiฤ“. Or do you say that you can not use it? "Maybe one day he will die suddenly. Should I leave a will first? โ€

"Sir, Spielberg and Mr. Tony are here." Charlie reminded.

Li Donglai hurriedly went out to greet the guests, while the two were waiting for him in the study.

"Hello, Steven, Tony......" Li Donglai came in with a notebook.

"Lee, didn't disturb your rest. I just heard Emma say that you are sick. Spielberg and Tony looked at him with concern. It's not good to be so young and strong to get sick all the time.

"Thanks, just a minor glitch. Emma is pregnant and has a bit of prenatal syndrome. Just love to make a fuss! He casually pushed the question onto Emma, "I'm sorry. It's a bit of a mess here. โ€

"Sometimes I'm in the office." The two smiled, walked to the desk and sat down, picked up the scattered Wen Jiร n on the ground, and put them neatly on the other side of the desk.

Spielberg looked at the young man in front of him, his heart was slightly complicated, and as before, his first impression was very good. Maybe it's because he wants to challenge his own box office record, but he still doesn't like him very much, he has the problem of being a young man, he is a little anxious to do things, he always wants to make the best thing in the shortest time, and his private life is not very good.

In Hollywood, there are some things that are not secret, or even if the person concerned does not say it, it is enough to tell what is going on based on some information that has been revealed. Of course, you just have to know these things in your heart, and take them out and talk nonsense that only stupid people do.

But on the other hand, Spielberg admired him, daring to think, full of unexpected ideas in his head, and every time he did it well, his work won both word-of-mouth and box office.

Not everyone can win the Golden Globe Award for Best Director at the age of 24, and there is that exaggerated box office.

"Then, we won't say so much," Li Donglai coughed dryly, interrupting Spielberg's thoughts, "Let's see the fruits of our labor." โ€

"I'm not in a hurry, if you don't feel well, you can rest for a few more days." Spielberg smiled and said, "How's your new movie?" A lot of people are waiting to see the jokes, especially the critics. โ€

"Well...... this"

Li Donglai snorted, with a little helplessness and self-deprecation, it seems that no one has asked him this during this time. But he quickly came to his senses and understood what Spielberg was trying to say, "It's different, Steven, comedy is always lighthearted. If I'm under pressure, I can't make a movie that makes people laugh, and I always finish the previous film before I start working on the next one. โ€

"Ho, a young man with strong jฤซng!"

Spielberg envied that a director is afraid of running out of ideas. Although he is getting older, his own film production is also rapidly decreasing. Seeing the young people who are catching up, I have a feeling that I am old, and I feel quite uncomfortable.

Tony smiled and nodded, "I've always thought it's harder to make people laugh than to make people cry, maybe that's why comedy is so popular." โ€

"You're right, Tony, laughter is contagious."

Li Donglai smiled, then unfolded the computer and began the discussion.

Spielberg nodded: "Yes, I have already read the script and have no opinion." As Hollywood's most outstanding screenwriter, the scripts you have worked together on are amazing. Come today, I'd like to get some shooting from you? โ€

"Hollywood's most sรจ screenwriter? This is not to be taken seriously. โ€

Li Donglai smiled and didn't take it to heart. And the expression does not seem to be fake, "If you are serious about listening to my advice, and don't think I'm not qualified." I do have some ideas for the shoot, and I'd like to talk to you about it. โ€

He was a little worried about Spielberg's current state of work.

Last year's "War Horse" was a typical Hollywood literary film, the product of a compromise between business and art, but there is still a gap between it and European films in terms of humanistic depth. Li Donglai was worried that "Lincoln" would be filmed like that, and felt it was necessary to talk to him.

Spielberg shrugged, "I'd love to!" Feel free, that's what I'm here for, don't be stressed. Let's talk at will. โ€

Li Dong came to see him with a sincere expression, and he was a little admired in his heart.

Nowadays in Hollywood, there are not many directors who can create according to their own ideas.

Because a Hollywood film has to play between business and art. In Hollywood, movies are first and foremost a commodity designed for the audience, and secondly, a creative medium for the artist. โ€

Steven Spielberg, who has been a household name since the mid-70s, now has a commercial success and a status in the American film industry, allowing him to use Hollywood to make a serious film.

This old urchin has been playing between business and art in Hollywood for more than 40 years. Now. He has been able to bypass the producers and investors and start making his own art film......

"I love your Schindler's List, and maybe this Lincoln will be the film that shows your highest artistic achievement since Schindler's List in '93."

Li Donglai exclaimed, "Compared with "Schindler's List", which touched the audience with sincere emotions, "Lincoln" does not have so many touching story descriptions. The main thread of the story will revolve around the emancipation movement of black slaves. I think it's necessary to revive the soul of a great historical figure with more skillful cinematic techniques and restrained storytelling......"

Li Donglai opened the chatterbox, and Tony, who couldn't speak on the side, didn't look irritable. He was honored to hear two great directors discuss the plot together.

Spielberg agreed: "In American history, Abraham Lincoln is a textbook mythologized figure. His rich early life experiences and the great exploits of his election as President of the United States cannot be covered by the capacity of a single film. And the script you wrote narrowed down the entry point to the last four months before Lincoln's assassination. But he gave up the Civil War, a historical passage that can be written about, why? โ€

Li Dong glanced at Tony and said, "Can Tony help explain?" โ€

"Of course."

"We've talked about it a lot. This period can be said to be the most critical period of his life, and it can also directly bring the audience into the tension. Like you said, the Civil War was a big selling point if you think about it from a business perspective, and Lincoln could be portrayed as a wartime hero and a politician in that paragraph. But ......"

He paused, glanced at Li Donglai, and said with a smile: "But Lee rejected this way, he thinks that this kind of shooting entry point is to use kitsch to continue to mythologize this historical figure who has been mythologized countless times." โ€

Spielberg's eyes suddenly lit up, and the entry point was difficult to find, which was not the main reason why he delayed filming "Lincoln".

Li Donglai continued: "We must carefully summarize Lincoln's great ideals and historical exploits while presenting the audience with the most humane side of the great man. The grand background - the signing of the 13th Amendment and the end of the Civil War - is the end of the script, as the core of the plot and the time background of the film. โ€

"There's another thing that needs to be done by the director."

Li Donglai said with a smile: "Maybe I'm a foreigner, and I always don't want to write about how glorious and great your president is, but I want him to be three-dimensional and full." โ€

"So there are a lot of family descriptions in the script?"

It's comfortable to talk to insiders, and Spielberg can quickly catch you on topic.

Li Donglai said: "Yes, that's it. This will make the characters more approachable and give the audience a sense of substitution when watching the movie. โ€

Spielberg nodded earnestly and made the next record......)
