[US Entertainment] 1994

Sitting on the side with a hot water bottle in his arms, Josh fixed his eyes on the center of the shooting site, lest he miss this important scene.

The original film is a black and white film, only the red dress on the little girl is the only bright color in the film, of course, this kind of impact is often greatly reduced when shooting - different from the black and white colors in the film, shooting The actors and staff on the scene, including the surrounding scenery, are all colorful, and the little girl in red is not outstanding among them.

A group of Jews walking in a hurry and with messy feet were randomly expelled like animals. Suddenly, a small, trembling body appeared on the muddy and dirty street, wandering blindly among the crowd. Falling down, among a group of Jews wearing epaulets, the little girl walked slowly, then pushed open a door and ducked under the bed.

Little girl with a smile on her face.

Josh has been sitting silently, but the tight corners of his lips revealed his emotions. In fact, this small corner of the set can't show the pain of the people affected by the war at all, and even the best actors can't Deduce the real one percent.

Sighing silently in his heart, Josh opened his eyes wide and watched the entire shooting process as a bystander.

He fully understands why "Schindler's List" will become a generation of classics, even in the early 90s, at the 66th Oscar, with the truth and cruelty shown in the film, it defeated "The Piano Lesson", "Innocent A series of excellent works such as "The Age" and "Philadelphia Story" successfully reached the top of the Oscars, and also achieved another peak of Steven Spielberg's career.

However, everyone understands that Steven Spielberg's original intention of making this movie was not for an Oscar.

But many times, things are often such a coincidence.

After the scene ended, Josh stood up from the chair with difficulty. After sitting for too long, his legs felt a little numb, and his mood seemed to be infected with some kind of depressed emotion.

Although he deeply understands that this is just acting, things like emotions are often not transferred by people's will, especially when he is still very young and doesn't know how to control himself.

"Not in a good mood?" Liam Neeson couldn't help asking when he put a down jacket over the thin suit he wore during filming, seeing Josh's always sleepy look.

Josh nodded slightly: "It's a bit...depressed, you should understand."

He turned to staring at Liam curiously, and asked, "Lim, what were you thinking when you were filming? I was thinking, if I were in your situation, maybe I wouldn't be able to bear it and I wouldn't be able to... …can't tell the full story."

Liam Neeson raised a faint smile when he heard this: "We all saw it, Josh, you did a good job."

His broad and powerful palm lightly patted Josh's shoulder, leaving a muffled sound on Josh's thick down jacket: "Although Steven didn't say it, we all understand that he is very satisfied with you. If you want If you listen to my advice, I want to tell you, young people, stop thinking about some messy things, and when you have to play, your heart will tell you what to do."

Josh touched his head: "Okay."

Josh still looked sullen, and Liam couldn't help laughing: "My suggestion may not work, why don't I take you to listen to Mr. Director's suggestion?"

Josh rolled his eyes at him silently, lowered his head, and didn't make another sound.

…………

For Josh, filming "Schindler's List" was a completely different experience from the past. The film gave him too much depressing feeling. Even at the end, the Jews were freed and the Nazis were punished. joy.

After all, this is a movie with a grand view of the world. It is completely different from the style of describing friendship in "Scent of a Woman" and describing forbidden love in "The Uninhibited Sky". The quasi-character's own emotions are enough, but "Schindler's List"—

He must forget everything that the name Josh Walter stands for and become a demon named Amon Goss.

And in the next ten days as Amon Goss, Josh always abided by this principle. He carefully put away his true emotions and made himself cruel and tyrannical.

Time flies by day by day, and the shooting is still going on.

The cast and crew of the crew finally realized something was wrong.

It all started with a breakfast one day in the hotel lobby.

When Josh neatly threw the towel on a waiter's face without any apology, but said coldly, "I can give you a thousand dollars", Spielberg lost a lot of weight when he first came to the crew. A gloomy expression finally appeared on Quan's face.

Mr. Director realized belatedly that during this period of time, the smile on Josh's face seemed to be getting less and less.

It was replaced by his fascination with tobacco, and God knows, Josh once protested strongly when the executive director put smoke rings in his face when he first came into the set.

There also seems to be a strong case for...

Steven Spielberg thought for a moment, then quietly exchanged glances with the executive director, and when the breakfast was over, the executive director began to announce the names of the actors who had no shooting assignments today.

Josh is impressively on the list.

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Mr. Director, can I go to the scene to observe?"

Spielberg nodded: "Okay, but I still have a task for you, Josh, can you write me an article about your experience since shooting this afternoon?"

"About the character of Amon Goss?"

Mr. Director nodded again.

Although he was a little unhappy in his heart, Josh agreed casually.

He didn't know that after he turned and left, Steven Spielberg's expression became more gloomy, and this gloomy feeling became stronger after turning on the camera and comparing Josh's performance during this time.

Visible to the naked eye, Josh's performance is becoming more and more sophisticated day by day. I am afraid that those audiences who are not familiar with him before entering the cinema will regard him as the real Amon Goss. It can be said that Josh's performance to Amon Goss The deduction has realized the stripping of the self, and sinks into the "self" of the character, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the movie "Schindler's List".

But what about Josh himself?

Or it just sucks for the family who loves Josh!

Steven Spielberg doesn't want to ruin an actor who should have a bright future because of the so-called performance effect. He knows more about the psychological and spiritual impact of a film like "Schindler's List".

Even for a director like him who has experienced all kinds of ups and downs, during the filming, his wife Kate and several children were by his side, and his friend Robin Williams often called him to make him feel happy. Even so, his The mood is still unavoidably affected by the plot of the movie, especially after one brutal massacre after another in the movie.

Steven Spielberg wiped his glasses lightly, and his clear vision made his thoughts clear.

…………

For Josh, what happened after breakfast that day made him feel a little depressed and a little irritable.

Could it be that Mr. Director is dissatisfied with his performance?

Returning to the hotel room with a cold poker face, honestly watching and writing his impressions of the movie "Home Alone", Josh was dissatisfied and started thinking wildly.

Don't blame him, Josh believes that anyone who has experienced the same thing as him will probably have the same idea.

On the first day, Mr. Spielberg asked him to write about his experience shooting the character of Amon Goss.

The next day, Mr. Spielberg asked him to write his reflections on the movie "Modern Times."

On the third day, "Pink League";

Day [-]...

Alright, now it's Home Alone.

Josh's impression is that he has no interest in Macaulay Culkin, a clown ghost;

Is Joe Pesci really the guy he worked with on "My Cousin Vinny" and why is he so dumb in the movie?

Are there really such stupid thieves in this world?

Haha ...

Not funny at all.

After persisting for half an hour, when watching the kid played by Macaulay Culkin toss the two stupid thieves to death, Josh grinned, showing his first smile in so many days.

A few minutes later, he closed the corners of his mouth again, secretly thinking that there seemed to be nothing funny about it...

But for some reason, the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning again and again, watching the unlucky characters repeat different unlucky processes in the movie like a fool.

On the Nth day, when Josh could finally laugh out loud, Spielberg kindly announced that Josh didn't have to watch those comedies, and his filming was finally able to continue.

But before Josh was thinking about how to play the role of Amon Goss well, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crew.

Josh's first reaction was——

Carlos Ross is everywhere.

It's been a long time since I saw this guy, Josh almost forgot his name, but Carlos Ross is obviously not such a heartless person as Josh, the moment he saw Josh, this guy's cold and calm expression immediately surfaced There was a hint of a smile, and when Josh finished putting on his costume, he even saw him winking at him.

Josh: "..."

Liam Neeson asked curiously, "Who is this? The actor who came to visit the set?"

Unlike Liam Neeson, who entered the industry late, Ben Kingsley came to Hollywood earlier. He also met Carlos Ross’ grandfather Steve Ross when he won the Oscar. Ross naturally also had the impression: "The big money owner, Warner's shareholder."

Liam Neeson sighed: "If I had this face, maybe I would have planned to be an actor from the beginning, not a forklift driver."

"Just like Josh—" Liam changed his style and said, "You must have the same thoughts as me. If you have the same face as me when you were young, maybe your dream is to be a successful forklift driver. "

Josh blinked: "..."

what?
