[US Entertainment] 1994

"Schindler's Ark" is a novel written by Australian writer Thomas Kinelli. Since it was published in 1982, the sales volume of the novel has exceeded 200 million copies worldwide, and it has won the Booker Prize and the Los Angeles Times Fiction Award. A classic novel about World War II and the Jews.

Steven Spielberg adapted this novel into a movie, which is the famous classic "Schindler's List" in later generations.

As a director, Steven Spielberg's achievements in film are beyond doubt, "Jaws", "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", in business and art In general, Spielberg's works can always be perfectly integrated. Although occasionally criticized for being too commercial and lacking in humanistic connotation, Spielberg's business always appears to be very sincere, which is very different from some works that essentially entangle money.

"Schindler's List" is another peak of Spielberg's directorial career.

In this era, there are very few directors who dare to pick up Jewish themes and actively participate in filming.Because Spielberg himself is Jewish, he invested different emotions in this type of subject. A few years ago, the "Empire of the Sun" starring Bell was also a story about World War II. In "Schindler's After The List, Spielberg filmed Saving Private Ryan.

War movies are not uncommon in Hollywood, but Spielberg has paid far more attention to this type of subject than other types.

In terms of TV series, his "Band of Brothers" and "Blood War in the Pacific" are classics, "Munich", "War Horse", and even the producer's "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" are closely related to war. In Josh's opinion Spielberg occasionally misses in other themes, but he is a real master when it comes to war themes.

Every director has his own subject matter. For example, Gus Van Sant, who Josh has worked with, can only inspire him with gay subjects. The name of Martin Scorsese is closely tied to New York. Together, fused together, Christopher Nolan is a master at juggling narrative…

If you let Josh evaluate it, "Schindler's List" is definitely one of the best films of Steven Spielberg's directorial career.

So for such a movie, he has a longing attitude. He knows that Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes in the original movie are very good, especially the latter is extremely good at portraying diverse characters. , his portrayal in The English Patient makes it difficult to connect him with the villainous Voldemort Tom Riddle.

However, British actors are mostly chameleons, and they don’t stick to the same type of roles like American actors, such as Schwarzenegger’s muscular tough guy, Tom Hanks’ middle-class male, Richard Gere’s dream lover... ...Of course, this is also because the status of British actors in Hollywood is still not high enough. They have played many roles such as villains and monsters. In the future, they will gradually have the superficial ability to compete with American actors on an equal footing. Opportunity.

Josh didn't know if he could compete with Liam Neeson or Ralph Fiennes, but he didn't want to miss such a classic work.

The news from Arnold Keynes was extremely slow. Josh waited at home for a few days, but Arnold had no news other than telling him to be calm. It was on behalf of his wishes that he consulted with Spielberg's team. If the producer thought about what he meant, Spielberg probably wouldn't mind taking the time to meet with him.

"Alas!" Josh sighed heavily, retracting his head into the quilt, lamenting his bad fate. Before he was melancholy for three seconds, the phone started beeping. Josh saw that it was Al He blinked and picked up the phone.

"Josh, I heard that you are almost moldy at home recently?"

Josh frowned: "Who said that?"

Half a second later, he remembered the oblique relationship between Arnold and Al: "That gossip guy, Arnold!"

"You don't have to blame him. I just asked him if you are free recently. I have a movie here. Are you interested?"

Josh frowned: "I really doubt that you knew that I had hit a wall in a movie recently, so you came here to tell me the good news."

"I don't know anything." Al smiled in a low voice, "Arnold is your agent, he won't tell me all the news."

"However, I guessed something about it. It's that Jewish movie? In the circle, there has been a lot of rumors in the circle recently. I didn't expect you to be interested in that kind of movie." Aldao, "If you fail, you might as well come Try my movie, a gangster movie."

"Is it like The Godfather?"

Al expressed his disdain with a "hehe": "Are you dreaming, kid? If it's "The Godfather", the chance won't fall on your head."

"Not necessarily." Josh pouted, "You were just an unknown young man when you starred in "The Godfather", but Coppola caught your eye."

"Boy, I have to tell you frankly that you are far worse than when I was young."

"It's just because I'm so good-looking that people ignore my acting skills."

Al immediately understood Josh's subtext: "Are you mocking me for not being handsome enough?"

Josh was secretly happy in his heart.

"I'm not interested in arguing with young people like you who don't even grow hair. Let's get back to business. This movie is called "Dawn of Love Owl". Now the confirmed actor is me, and there is still one role left."

"The director has been decided, it's Brian De Palma, are you interested in trying it?"

"I'll think about it." Josh hesitated. "To be honest, I'm still interested in that Spielberg movie. Unless he explicitly rejects me, I still want to wait and see."

"Whatever you want, I'm just here to let you know. If you are clearly rejected over there, remember to report to the crew." Al lazily reminded Josh, and hung up the phone.

Josh thought of Al's cold voice, and thought that the other party should come to care about him, so he couldn't help showing a smile.

Sure enough, Al is still cold-faced and warm-hearted!

Thinking of this, the sense of loss that might be missed in "Schindler's List" faded a lot. Josh lay on the bed, half-closed his eyes, and suddenly felt motivated again.

Generally speaking, when something seems hopeless, it often ushers in a turning point.

This roughly describes the indissoluble bond between Josh and "Schindler's List".

When Arnold Keynes knocked on the door coquettishly, Josh couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw the unusually smug smile on the other party's face: "Is it good news?"

"Of course." Arnold thought for a moment, "It's not 50.00% good news, the success rate is only [-]%, Spielberg is willing to meet you, but in his mind, Ralph Fiennes is the most suitable actor. "

Sure enough, it was Ralph Fiennes.

"I have to prove that I'm better than Fiennes? What a motivational challenge." Josh sighed silently.

"The good news is that producer Blanc Rusty admires you more, he thinks he can give young actors a chance, and Ralph Fiennes is a stranger to the audience than you."

"But Spielberg's opinion should be more important!"

"That's right, so for you, this matter is very difficult." Arnold patted Josh on the shoulder, "Although I thought you were whimsical at first, I later found that Spielberg himself is not that difficult to get in touch with. , so Josh, work hard, become the protagonist of Spielberg, you are a newcomer in Hollywood!"

"You can remove the word "newcomer."

"Wow Josh you are very ambitious, I like it."

In short, Josh had a chance to show himself in front of big directors and then star in classic films, but this opportunity was very difficult, almost the highest since he was an actor, but Josh didn't want to give up at all.

In short, the battle has not yet started, but Josh is already in a state of preparation.

"You want to meet with Spielberg?" One afternoon, when Josh was thinking about how to satisfy the famous director, Carlos Roth suddenly called.

"Does it have something to do with you?" Anyway, the other party couldn't see, Josh rolled his eyes recklessly.

Carlos Ross's deep and sexy voice sounded on the other end of the phone: "I can help you create a chance to meet him, and make you his only choice."

"A request? Talk to you about a pure male love? Sorry, I'm not interested."

Carlos Ross seemed to be startled by Josh's rude answer, and after a while, he coughed lightly: "No, it's not this request..."

"I guessed right, you really have something wrong in your heart."

"No——" Carlos dragged on his negation for a very long time, and there seemed to be a hint of longing in his voice. After a long, long time, he whispered his request.

"Can I ask Colin not to..."

"What?" Josh suddenly didn't hear clearly.

"Don't send..."

"what?"

"..."

"Say something quickly, don't waste my time!"

"Please your brother Colin Walter stop sending me porn discs!. My living room is full! I can't even invite people into my house now, I even have to go to the post office every day Ask again if there is a new package coming! I don't dare to ask the postman to deliver something to me, do you understand?"

"...What?" Josh couldn't figure it out, "What did Colin do to you? Aren't you good friends?"

"Terrible, traumatic thing to my soul."

"Oh." Josh blinked and grinned, "What does that have to do with me?"

As expected of Colin!

a!

Josh was overjoyed and overjoyed.
