Chapter 101: Arrival in Poland

After staying in London for a few days, Ryan originally planned to accompany Natalie to play, but a large number of reporters gathered at the door of the villa every day, and if you want to travel, you should wait to be harassed by them.

The two simply stayed in the villa and studied their roles in Schindler's List, with Natalie playing a surviving girl and Ryan playing the Jewish handyman shot by Amon Goss.

They exchanged a lot of opinions about each other's roles, Ryan's views on that history were mostly from previous lives, Natalie was different, unlike Ryan, who was only partially Jewish, she was a pure Jew and knew enough about the saddest part of her nation's history.

In the short life of the previous life, Ryan did not have any good feelings for the Jews in the first ten years, even if great figures such as Karl Marx and Albert Einstein were born among them, and the reason for this was naturally the official textbooks and the image of the lackeys of American and American imperialism.

Even if he understood that there were only conflicts of interest between countries, the education he received still made him think that the suffering Arab brothers were good people.

It wasn't until later, with the rise of the Internet, that a lot of news inevitably spread, both true and false, and he did some research to understand that Jews were not the official portrayal.

As for the official propaganda of the Arab brothers, what a bunch of crazy Green Christians .......

Out of the airport, Ryan found the crew coming to pick up the vehicle, compared with the bustling and lively London, Poland has just undergone great changes, poor and deserted, both in and outside the airport, it looks dilapidated.

Then there's the weather, it's already spring in London at the end of February, and it's still in the middle of winter, with scattered snowflakes falling from time to time in the overcast sky.

Ryan was afraid of the cold, very afraid of the cold, and as soon as he got off the plane, he put on a thick down jacket, a cotton hat, and even a pair of black leather gloves on his hands.

There weren't many people in the group, just Natalie's mother and daughter, Ginsiley and George......

The weather was not as exaggerated as Ryan showed, at most about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, but he lived in warm Los Angeles for most of his life, and he was really a little uncomfortable with the cold, on the other hand, Natalie just added a thick jacket to the shirt.

"Hello, Ryan, and welcome to Krakow."

Walking up to the car, they were picked up by an acquaintance, Marek Broskey, one of Steven Spielberg's assistants.

The two sides made brief introductions, got into a large station wagon, and left the airport.

"Ryan, go to the hotel first, or go to the set?" Marek asked.

After asking Natalie's opinion, Ryan said, "Let's go to the set first, it's so cold, doesn't it affect the shooting?" ”

"It's much better now." Malek sat down at the front and looked back and said, "Last month, Krakow's maximum temperature was only around 00 degrees Fahrenheit, and even some of the sets we were preparing for Haode were frozen and cracked. ”

"Ryan, is it that cold?" Seeing Ryan shrinking, Natalie simply took off his cotton hat, "There is air conditioning in the car, you should pay attention, otherwise you will catch a cold when you go out." ”

The car didn't enter Krakow, but made a circle towards the set set set up outside the city, where Ryan talked to Marek from time to time and asked a lot about the crew.

After the New Year, Steven Spielberg led the whole team to Poland, and began the preliminary preparations under the adverse conditions such as severe cold, but fortunately, he has been planning for this film for nearly ten years, and in fact, a lot of work has already been ahead.

For example, contacting the surviving Jews and their descendants on Schindler's list and inviting them to participate in the filming.

Not only that, the crew also recruited a large number of descendants of Polish Jews as extras, and the props team had to post advertisements to find old clothes in order to collect the costumes of nearly 20,000 extras, but fortunately, Poland's economy is backward, and many people are eager to sell their old clothes from the 30s to 40s.

After listening to Ryan's original advice, Spielberg not only asked Steven Zelian to revise the script, but also abandoned the plan to shoot in German and Polish.

Despite the intense preparations, Spielberg decided to start shooting on March 1, and he had to give himself enough time to shoot, otherwise it would be a big problem to not shoot on location before July.

Fortunately, there are many unfinished scenes that can be built while shooting.

The car quickly arrived at its destination, and from a long distance, Ryan could already see through the car window that a busy town had risen on the wilderness plains in the distance, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that it was a construction site.

"Wait, Ryan!"

Just as he was about to get out of the car, Natalie spoke, took his forgotten cotton hat in her hand, carefully placed it on Ryan's head, and carefully wrapped his ears into it.

Mrs. Shelly took in all of this and sighed secretly, the two children had been together for most of the time since they met in New York, and even if there were occasional arguments, no matter who could see the depth of their friendship, and the two were getting older......

"Xiexie you, Nat!"

In return, Ryan will also help Natalie tidy up her scarf.

Dozens of large trailers are parked in front of you, a large number of sets and wooden improvised houses have been erected on a considerable scale, and many extras in old clothes and German military uniforms are doing some basic exercises under the guidance of several assistant directors.

If it weren't for the staff interspersed with it, as well as the railcar cameras and other equipment, it would have felt like a trip back in time to the World War II era.

Strictly speaking, it was the first time for Natalie to come to such a large-scale movie set, and she couldn't help but be a little curious, with wide eyes, wandering around, and asking some questions from time to time.

It's just that Ryan, in addition to acting and scripting, is completely a layman in terms of props, shooting, and deployment, and was speechless when asked by Natalie in a few words.

"You're a fool." Zuihou Natalie gave him a disdainful look.

"Come on, Nat." Ryan waved his hand unconvinced, "I'm just an actor, not a director, what do I do with these things." ”

Led by Marek, several people quickly found Spielberg, who was discussing something with the prop master, and only nodded slightly when they saw him.

Ryan and the others simply waited aside, watching the extras running around under the command of the assistant director, and filming was about to start, regardless of how high their professionalism was, at least they could become qualified living props.

"Hi, Ryan." Spielberg walked over, with an exhaustion that could not be concealed, and the beard on his face was extremely disheveled.

"Hello, Stephen." Ryan introduced him, "This is Natalie Herschler, born in Jerusalem, my good friend, a very good actress. ”

"Hello, Miss Herchler."

Perhaps because of her fellow Jewish, Spielberg was very amiable and asked a few questions about her role.

Natalie had already done her homework, and her answers were perfect, and Spielberg kept nodding.

"Ryan, you should have read the script." He asked again.

"Yes." Ryan nodded, he naturally understood what the other party meant, "Stephen, this is your work, and all the opinions I can come up with have been said when I was at Universal Studios." ”

"Okay, Ryan, if you have any ideas, can you bring them up in time? Don't be humble, we all know how good you are. ”

"I will."

After a few more conversations with him, Spielberg got busy again, letting his assistant take Ryan and his party around to familiarize themselves, and then go back to the hotel.

hastily walked around the set, although filming has not officially started, but the atmosphere of the whole set is a little depressing, after all, the subject matter is too heavy, plus everyone has traveled a long way, and the weather is cold, so they soon went to the hotel where the crew stayed.

This is the most Haode hotel in Krakow, but due to the local economic constraints, the conditions are really a little simple, everyone else went back to the room to reverse jet lag, Natalie slept all the way on the plane, but at this time she was in high spirits, got together with Ryan, and talked.

"So, you gave a lot of comments on the script, and it was adopted by Mr. Spielberg?" Natalie was a little curious about how this guy could get a kick in everywhere.

"yes. A few small comments were made...... Well, like the little girl who prompted Schindler to make a transformation. ”

Natalie squinted at him and didn't speak for a long time, and now it was Ryan's turn to be curious, "What are you doing?" ”

"Nothing."

"Then you're looking at me with such weird eyes?"

"It is said that by staring at a person like this, you can see through his disguise, and I want to see what is hidden in your soul to be able to express your opinion on such a serious and heavy subject." Natalie became more and more curious about her friend, "You know, Ryan, if I wasn't a Jew, if it weren't for my grandmother's informing for the Allies in World War II, I wouldn't have taken the initiative to learn about this history. ”

Ryan bared her teeth, obviously a cute little Lori, but she wanted to pose as a little adult, for fear that others would not know that she was smart and precocious.

"Hurry up, Ryan!" Natalie stood up from the couch and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Because I have good grades in history."

He began to run the train full of mouths, "Don't you know, Nat? The amazing and great Ryan Jenkins knows everything and can do anything. ”
