Chapter Eighty-Six: Changing Plans

"Schindler's List" is adapted from the book "Schindler's Ark", as early as 1983, Spielberg obtained the rights to adapt the film, and the narrator of the book, Fayverburn, once asked him, "Please, when will filming start?" ”

Spielberg's answer was, "It could take ten years." ”

Spielberg hesitated until he heard about the Bosnian Genocide and the many denials of the Holocaust.

In order to enhance the sense of realism and to depict the darkest times of the Jews, he had just decided some time ago to use black and white photography, which was strongly opposed by Universal Pictures.

"Yes!" Spielberg nodded at Ryan, but his eyes lit up, and although he knew a lot about the boy, he was more and more surprised by him.

And most importantly, don't you think Oskar Schindler's transformation in the script is too abrupt? Schindler is like having an explosive psychological purification and suddenly becoming a hero, what is the difference between this and "The Great Escape"? ”

Listening to Ryan's words, Spielberg also stood up and solemnly walked in front of Ryan, this boy with a little Jewish characteristics, this boy who was about to turn twelve years old, this is a boy who is only a little shorter than him!

"Ryan, admit it or not, you have Jewish characteristics in you, even if it's for the sake of this bloodline, say all your suggestions." Spielberg owes him a debt.

Everyone looked at Spielberg, although he was a bit of a philistine, but his pride would not make him bow his head to people easily, not to mention, the object was only a boy who was about to be twelve years old.

"Mr. Spielberg, this ......"

Deeply rooted in the soul, after all, it is an oriental education, and Ryan not only changed his official title, but also quickly flashed aside.

Drew Barrymore and Gwyneth Paltrow looked at this incredible scene, a little stunned, a little confused, their godfather is the person standing at the top of Hollywood, and he actually ......

"Mr. Spielberg, all right...... Stephen. The corners of Ryan's mouth twitched, he had done a lot of plagiarism before, only this time he was a little weak-hearted, of course, it was only a little.

"At first, Schindler was just a philistine businessman, he took in Jews just to make more money, and then the tragedy made him slowly change the direction of a sympathizer, but it was only sympathy."

Ryan remembered the movie he had watched more than ten times, and he remembered the color, "A touch of red, a stinging red, the brightest color in the movie!" Between the frenzied SS and the deported Jews, a little girl in a red dress travels back and forth in search of a place of refuge, and this girl is the beginning of Schindler's transformation. ”

"When the Germans dug up the bodies of the slaughterers and burned them because of the unfavorable war, Schindler saw the girl again!"

Ryan quietly closed his eyes and thought for a while before he said, "The girl appeared on the pile of corpses that were about to be burned, and the red color that was more vivid than blood completely stung Schindler and prompted him to complete a metamorphosis. ”

"That's right! Ryan, that's it, you've solved the biggest puzzle! I don't know when, Spielberg took out a small notebook and quickly recorded it, at this time, looking at the scribbled handwriting on the paper, he suddenly said, "Ryan, I want you to add to the script, can you?" ”

"No, no." Ryan quickly shook his finger, although he didn't mind the tabloids calling him a monster, he didn't want everyone to see him as a monster, "Stephen, this is your movie, I can give some advice, but what to do, you need to make up your mind." ”

Spielberg didn't say anything more, but looked at Ron Meyer, who was a little stunned, "Ron, I still have that request, during the preparation of "Jurassic Park", let me finish the filming of "Schindler's List" first, I can give up all the remuneration!" ”

I remember that in my previous life, there were always people who said that Spielberg was an artist when he picked up the camera, and when he put down the camera, he was a philistine businessman, but now this scene made Ryan feel something, and frankly, he said so much, not for the sake of the hellish Jewish blood on his body.

Forget it, since you have intervened, let's help others to the end and send the Buddha to the west. Ryan sighed, first at Spielberg, then at Ron Meyer.

"Mr. Meyer, I think Stephen will definitely be able to finish the filming of "Schindler's List" in half a year, and it should be enough for "Jurassic Park" to be in charge of George and Kate in the early stage."

In his previous life, Steven Spielberg only took more than 70 days to complete the shooting, and the most troublesome part of this movie is the preliminary preparation, since the other party is full of confidence, he must have done a lot of preliminary work.

Nicole and Kinsley looked at each other puzzled, they knew very well that Ryan rarely got involved in other people's affairs, what happened today?

"This ......," Ron Meyer hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Mr. Shaneenberg said that once Stephen has finished Schindler's List, it will be difficult to put his mind on Jurassic Park, Ryan, and Nicole, you are also investors, and you should understand our difficulties." ”

This reason is indeed very powerful, and it is very likely to happen, Ryan was a little hesitant for a while, after all, the investment of 20 million US dollars is already a huge amount of money for them.

"So be it." Spielberg seemed to have made up his mind, "We can sign a contract, and after the filming of Schindler's List is done, I will go all out to make Jurassic Park, and until it is finished, the post-production work of Schindler's List will be pushed back indefinitely." ”

It seems that Spielberg can't wait, probably because he has just intervened in the relationship, he is more urgent than the rumors in his previous life, Ryan can also understand this mood, if he changes himself, the wish he has waited for ten years will be realized soon, I am afraid it is not as good as him.

It's definitely not a good thing for him to shoot Jurassic Park with this mentality. He muttered in his heart, and quickly calculated, as long as he participated in it, the benefits that "Schindler's List" could bring can be imagined, don't forget that Hollywood has another name - Jewish Hollywood!

In an instant, Ryan made up his mind, "Ron, so be it, if Stephen can't complete the contract he said, Jenkins Pictures and I will give up all our investments and earnings." ”

Ryan ......

Spielberg didn't know what to say, not to mention Jenkins Films, he alone could get tens of millions of dollars or more through "Jurassic Park".

"This ......," Ron Meyer visibly moved.

Ryan looked at Nicole and Kinsley, who hesitated, nodded slightly, and said, "We can sign a contract too." ”

Ron Meyer wasn't tempted at this time, he wanted to draw up two contracts at once, get them to sign them, and then Spielberg broke the contract, which was just wonderful for Universal Pictures and for him personally.

"Well, I need to give Mr. Shaneenberg a call." Ron Meyer simply went to the secretary's room.

"Ryan, I really don't know what to say." Spielberg didn't expect Ryan Jenkins, the original author of "Jurassic Park", to support him so much.

"Nothing, these are the things we should do!"

Listening to his words, Nicole Kidman, who knew Ryan best, rolled her eyes without a trace, if Ryan did these things for her, it would not be strange at all, but for the sake of others......

This little imp doesn't know what he's calculating! That's Nicole's only thought.

After half an hour, Ron Meyer walked back, with a little relief and a smile on his face, and said, "Stephen, I think this will be a pleasant cooperation, and I will inform the following departments to draw up a contract and cooperate with your work as soon as possible." ”

Spielberg's tense face finally relaxed, and he didn't seem to want to wait for a moment, so he greeted Lucas and was about to leave.

"Wait, Stephen." Ryan called out to him, "You're going to shoot in a concentration camp in Krakow, right?" ”

"That's right." Spielberg was stunned for a moment and explained, "Actually, I went to Poland for a field trip a long time ago, and Ryan keeps the phone open, and I'll be in touch with you at any time, and I think I'm going to gather my team." ”

"No, Stephen, it's not appropriate!" Ryan simply stopped him and Lucas.

"What's the problem?"

Ryan scratched his head, to be honest, these words coming out of his mouth would make people feel weird, but if he didn't say it, the National Jewish Association of America would do it in the future, so why not sell a favor now?

"I've seen some of the materials in Krakow, and I know that it's hard to recreate the situation when you set up a set, whether it's a studio or any other location, but, Stephen, have you ever wondered how many people are buried there, please don't go to the concentration camp, please don't disturb the souls of the dead, let them rest in peace?"

Spielberg's notebook fell to the ground, his face was more serious and serious than ever, and there was remorse, he had been preparing for almost ten years, and there was no child who thought more perfectly, if it wasn't for his reminder, he would have made a big mistake, among those resting souls, there were also members of his family!

"Xiexie you, Ryan!" Spielberg turned around and shook his hand firmly.

"That's what we're supposed to do." Ryan brought the phrase out again.

"yes, it should be done." Spielberg repeated in a low voice.

Ryan's face became serious, and he clenched his fists and said, "Yes! This is what we have to do, although I don't know my background, but I know that we have the same blood, we all have the same responsibility, to nail the Nazis, the fascists, and Hitler to the pillar of shame forever! ”

"We want to let the tragedies that happened in Europe during World War II be known to the entire Shijie people!" Ryan then leaned into Spielberg's ear and whispered, "It's not just our responsibility, Stephen, we should turn to the National Jewish Association for help." ”

Those characteristics in your physiognomy are already destined to choose the queue, so maximize the benefits! Ryan thought so as he went out to eat with the others.
