Chapter 99: A German female director

If the gaze could kill, Victor would have been killed by John. Ford cut it with a thousand cuts.

"Victor, don't look for me in the future! You're a fucking second thing who eats bones and doesn't vomit! I've convinced you! "John. Ford exhaled.

"Okay, didn't you just poach a backup photographer? You are such a master, is there still a shortage of people around you? Victor put his arm around John. Ford invited him for a drink.

"Come on! You think that talents can be grabbed casually. I have been cultivating for five or six years, and I am about to let him take the lead, and I will be cheap for you. "John. Ford Road.

Victor: "That's too much of an outrage! Legendary Film Company has your shares, and if you help me, you will help yourself. Victor laughed, "Otherwise, you can just come and do it with me." “

"Spare me! I'll come here, and you will pay me back the compensation! "John. Ford shook his head.

"How's your movie?" Victor decided to change the subject, or the old man would be rambling for a day.

Referring to his own films, John. Ford really smiled: "That's not what I said!" I'm telling you, this movie is going to be my masterpiece. ”

"Masterpiece? Why, you're going to see God next year, aren't you? Victor joked.

"Get out! I mean, this movie, I'm very satisfied! And in all these years, I've never been so fully committed to making this ...... film," John . Ford Top Gun.

"What's going on lately? How can one or two of them be fully engaged, you are like this, Orsun. The same goes for Wells. Don't let people live! "Victor has a headache.

"Hey, hey." John. Ford liked to look at Victor like this: "I'll tell you kid. The next Oscars. If you want to take the little golden man, you have to ask me if I agree! ”

"When is the time for retribution? Uncle John, we're still on the same side, isn't this cannibalism? ”

"I'd love to! I'm mad at you, little bastard. "John. Ford Joy.

"What about other studios?" Victor doesn't know anything about what's going on in Hollywood right now.

John. Ford's face sank: "It's estimated that life will not be easy this year." Major film companies are now working on blockbuster films. ”

"Oh, tell me." Victor worries about this the most.

"Warner Bros. is doing "York Army", you know that. Howard. Director Hawkes, this kid is in the limelight in Hollywood for a while. ”

"York Juncao", a classic in the history of cinema. It's hard.

"Over there. William. Wheeler is making a movie called "The Little Fox", I don't know the specific news, but I heard that the script is great, and William's level is not to be said. ”

It's a tough opponent.

"That Hitchcock guy has jumped to Thunderbolt now, and I heard that he is planning to shoot a movie, "Deep Suspicion", I haven't seen the script, but this person has a lot of ideas."

Hitchcock ran to Thunderbolt!? This old man really can't sit still.

"Other film companies are also working hard to build a group. Filming shooting, this year will be another year of the Mountain of Blood Sea Corpses. "John. Ford concluded.

"What about movies other than movies? What's the big deal out there's not? Victor nodded. Historically. In 1941, there were many masterpieces, and it was going to be a very difficult year.

"Except for movies?" John. Ford thought for a moment: "It's not a big deal, oh, by the way, last week a group of people led by Chaplin started to get a group of people to write letters of protest, and it caused a storm in the city." ”

"A letter of protest? Why? Victor was excited when he heard this.

Chaplin's Luen Mei Company has now fallen to the last place of the big film company, and it is dying. He himself, since the box office dismal of "The Great Dictator", it is impossible for new works to come out in recent years, and this guy can still have the mind to jump on other things.

"That's what happened, there was a German female director who was going to visit the United States, and the focus was on Hollywood." John. Ford Road.

"German female director!?" Victor's mind suddenly thundered.

He seemed to have guessed who the man was.

"Isn't it called Lenny. Riefenstahl? ”

"Oh, you know this guy too!?" John. Ford was surprised.

Mom! How could I not know! This is a cow who is known as the "Flower of Empire" and "the first day talented female director" in the history of film!

Throughout the history of film development, the number of female directors is naturally much lower than that of male directors. Excellent female directors who can be called masters are even rarer.

But even when put together with the male director, Lenny. The name Refenstahl is definitely not inferior to any director!

Of all the female directors, it can be said that there is absolutely no one who is better than Lenny. Riefenstahl is more controversial.

In terms of film talent, this woman can be called a rare master who can understand everything about film art! Her understanding of film, her use of film art, and especially her expertise in film promotion are unmatched.

If she were not in Germany, she would be the absolute authority in the history of cinema and will be remembered for centuries.

It's a pity that her voice is forever tied to the Nazis.

This female director, who has lived for more than 100 years, has been crowned with a series of titles such as "Flower of the Empire", "Spokesperson of Nazi Germany", "Hitler's Lover" and so on.

In her early years, she was a well-known woman in German and even European cinema, and in 1931 she founded her own film company. After Hitler came to power, she served the Nazis and in 1934 she made "The Triumph of the Will", which has been called "the greatest work in the history of documentaries"!

This documentary, Lenny. Refenstahl has unleashed her unique genius to take a documentary entirely new art form, creating an aesthetic of the Nazi empire that will have a deep-rooted impact on future generations! It can be said that any national propaganda film of later generations, in front of her film, is completely a schoolboy.

Politics aside, it is not an exaggeration to call "Triumph of the Will" the greatest documentary, or even one of the greatest!

Churchill later called the film "the hearts and minds of the Nazis, and its power was worth half a million elite soldiers!" ”

Even rational people, after watching this documentary, I am afraid that they will be enthusiastic and throw themselves into the Nazis.

Lenny in the service of the Nazis. Riefenstahl later shot a series of promotional films, almost every one of which became a classic.

This woman is definitely a wonder that there can't be a second one in the history of movies!

She came to Hollywood for a visit, and Victor immediately understood why Chaplin couldn't sit still.

Charlie, a great citizen of the British Empire. Mr. Chaplin, who flaunted himself with justice and freedom all his life, not to mention that his homeland and Germany are now in a-for-tat confrontation, even in his personal principles, he could not allow such an "accomplice of Nazis" to appear in Hollywood.

"It's interesting." Victor Road.

"Yes. I also think it's funny. Chaplin was still looking for me, and he asked me to sign it together. "John. Ford Road.

"You signed?!" Victor was taken aback.

"Nope." John. Ford was baffled by Victor: "What's wrong?" ”

"You, don't sign it! This matter must not be involved! Victor shouted. (To be continued......)
