It was Spielberg's long-cherished wish to make a film about the great American leader Lincoln. However, he has not been able to find a good entry point and angle, which has also delayed the start of filming of his magnificent film.

Even if the lights were dark, Spielberg actually knew the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Torres Jeans Goodwin, but he never thought of his work. It wasn't until the Phantom announced with great fanfare that she would use her historical work "Rival Team: The Genius Lincoln" as the source of a new biographical film adaptation, that Spielberg's eyes were set on this work.

What you can't get is the best, not to mention what Li Dong has come to see, which naturally attracts much attention.

So far, Li Donglai has won every battle in Hollywood. And there are frequent big-box office works, and the quality of the works is also well-known. This has created a good word-of-mouth effect for him, success can help success, and sustained success has made his career enter a good cycle. Twice nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, and twice won the Oscar for Best Screenplay, it speaks for itself - this guy has a pair of eyes that find gold!

"Everything that Li Dong likes is good!" At some point, some companies have reached such a consensus.

Spielberg may not share this so-called "consensus", but he will be more or less affected. "The shadow of the famous tree of people", since Li Donglai shouted out the plan, he naturally wanted to express his concern. Then I was intrigued, and then I was annoyed, "Why didn't you find out before?" ”

The most important thing is that Hollywood is not big, if one company shoots Lincoln, then another company shoots Lincoln, it will inevitably crash. Historical figures are remade like this. That's not a good thing.

In addition, the Phantom announced the plan first, if this movie will be directed by Li Donglai, and Spielberg himself will make a "Lincoln", then the topic will be big!

Biopic movies are never about high box office, but about winning awards and selling DVDs.

For a literary film that attaches importance to word-of-mouth. Such a topic is even more undesirable, and their plan coincides. That's why Spielberg took the initiative to approach the Phantom, hoping to get the right to adapt the novel, so there was this golf course meeting.

……

On the same day, many media published photos of Li Donglai taking his girlfriend to meet Spielberg.

Obviously, the paparazzi sold the photos for a good price, so that newspapers and websites had to rely on a few photos. Just guess what's going on?

In one of the most published photos, Lee Dong-lai holds Emma's hand from behind and teaches her to swing the club. There is also a large lion-like dog in the far corner of the shot, as well as two koalas. Fans know that this is Li Donglai's new favorite. In the photo, Emma has changed into loose clothes to cover her slightly bulging lower abdomen. Their faces were close together, their faces were full of smiles, and they looked very emotional.

Spielberg watched with a smile on the side, and they talked from time to time. The meeting between the big directors, one is the king of established directors and the other is the king of new directors, and the two sides appear together on the golf course, no matter what they are talking about. It's all full of gossip xìng.

Let the unscrupulous editors and fans guess the specific content.

Fortunately, the Phantom did not leave the media confused for long, and after finalizing the cooperation with Spielberg's company, it couldn't wait to announce the shooting plan of the new movie "Lincoln".

The Phantom's biopic, Lincoln, will be based on the best-selling biographical novel "A Team of Political Enemies: The Political Genius Lincoln," published by Doris Cohens Goodwin in 2005, and is expected to be released in 2012.

Lee Dong-rae will be the producer and personally involved in the script writing, while the director position will be directed by Spielberg himself. In terms of script creation, Li Donglai also invited Tony Kushner, the screenwriter of "Munich Tragedy", to join, and the story revolves around the Civil War, facing all kinds of pressures in that difficult period. Lincoln and his team worked together to win the war and unify the United States.

The media spotlight once again focused on the Phantom, and as Emma said, this time the cooperation between the two big directors who "ranked first in the total box office in film history" and "second in total box office in film history". One represents the glorious past of Hollywood films, and the other represents the bright future of Hollywood, which is really like a handover of kings, full of topics.

Spielberg, a two-time Oscar winner for Best Director, broke box office records with three of his films, Jaws (1975), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and Jurassic Park, which became the highest-grossing films of the time. To date, Spielberg's films have earned more than $8.5 billion worldwide. Time magazine included him as one of the 100 most important people of the century. Life magazine named Spielberg the most influential figure of his time.

Regardless of whether inflation is calculated or not, the figure of 8.5 billion is still the first in the world! And Li Donglai is currently launching a strong challenge to this number, and he is also widely praised by the media as the most promising person to break this number.

These two characters, no matter who wants to make a new film, will be the focus of media attention, and now they have actually announced that they are going to cooperate...... Isn't it surprising?!

Although it is only a biographical film, it has been praised by the media as the top of the list of most anticipated movies in 2012.

Of course, there are also media who think that Li Donglai is a Chinese who wants to supervise Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents in American history, can he shoot well? Does he know what happened during that time, and will it be made into a biopic of the American president from the perspective of Chinese?

In this regard, Li Donglai's die-hard fans gave a strong response.

"--If it weren't for that, I'm afraid the director would not be Spielberg by now!"

The biopic Li Donglai has a precedent for success, remember last year's "Social Network", a biopic that generated hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, and won the Golden Globe Award for the youngest best director in history, and won the Oscar for Best Screenplay...... That's strength, that's charm, that's persuasion!

Those who question that Li Donglai will be filmed as a foreigner are completely superfluous, otherwise would they invite Spielberg to come for dry dinner?

In short, the combination of Li Donglai + Spielberg is not more reassuring than the combination of Li Donglai + Ang Lee, and in terms of influence and international attention, it is obvious that the former is more popular!

has the signboards of Li Donglai and Spielberg, no matter who plays it, it is destined to be a star. The Phantom has not yet announced the starring role, and the casting process is already quietly underway. The media is speculating which lucky winner will be chosen to play the leading role.

And the creation of the film script is also in full swing.

Previously, Li Donglai took advantage of the vacation to write a rough first version of the script, if he shot it himself, the rough script would also work, and his mind was full of shots. And as a representative of the stream of consciousness, people who can make movies with just a comic book script don't actually need too many detailed words, those are for actors.

It's just that this time I worked with a bigger director, so I naturally needed to be more rigorous.

Spielberg was so impressed with Tony Kushner's script for "Munich" that he hired him on the set. Li Donglai readily agreed. As a director, Spielberg will also give his opinion from time to time.

Because of the sheer length of this work, it is very unrealistic to pull it all into the movie in one go, so the adaptation is very important.

Previously, Tony spent several years writing the script of "Munich", which can be regarded as a veritable representative of the delicate school. And Li Donglai's creation of scripts is even more peculiar, the most representative of xìng is a comic script at the time of "Source Code", he is obviously not a person who can play cards according to common sense, his thoughts are unrestrained, and he belongs to a typical artistic conception school.

In order to bring the jīng essence and the grasp of the characters in the work into the script, the delicate screenwriter Tony Kushner and the artistic conception screenwriter Li Donglai worked together, and they actually produced a wonderful chemical effect, and the writing and thinking were like a spring, making the script creation smooth sailing.

Kushner said: "There is no need to tell about Lincoln's great achievements, so in this film, we show Lincoln's relationship with the people around him, and show Lincoln's work attitude and his delicate ability to deal with things." I mean, in that very treacherous political environment, in that situation where both the war was won and the new system was imposed, Lincoln's ability to govern and move the country forward. I think it's very admirable and admirable. ”

In Li Donglai's eyes, this film is a film about Lincoln and his work.

He said: "Lincoln in a working state, not the Lincoln whose history has been written badly, is what my film wants to express." Although I am not an American and know little about American history, it does not prevent me from finding his life history from biographies and historical sources. This guy is so good that it's no wonder he's been called the greatest president of all time...... Although there is a lot of controversy about this statement, Lincoln's story is really hard to tell. ”

Of course, script writing is not a one-time effort, and sometimes it is inevitable to fall into the crux of creation.

They needed a lot of assistants, and they had to dig through a lot of text. Creation also requires an environment, and Li Donglai is not used to working in a company office, so he has been in remote communication with Tony. His home has also become a museum.

A pregnant woman who is idle at home and idle, has been clamoring to go to school. A certain husband is irritable, isn't it true that he also studies literature when he goes to school anyway, and this time he just came to start, and he can also learn at home.

Li Donglai flipped through the text in his hand, frowned deeper, and impatiently threw it out and then looked for it on the table. After reading it like this for two or three minutes, more than a dozen copies of the text and materials in my hand were changed, and many of them were thrown on the ground.

"Found it!"

Emma let out a loud cry and happily held up a pile of black-and-white video material.

"good, I finally found it. Thank you, dear! ”

After a long breath, he turned his head again and couldn't help but be stunned, only to find that his simple and bright office had been occupied by scattered materials.
