Chapter 280 You can’t let me pay for the Jews!
Chapter 280 You can’t let me pay for the Jews!
In the theater, there were already many emotional female viewers with red eyes.
In fact, many people had already predicted that there might be a tragic ending when the accident happened, but they always held on to hope. After all, in the past hour and a half, they had developed feelings for these two lovely children. They hoped that They can be saved and look forward to a so-called "happy ending."
But it is obvious that the heavy and cold iron door at the end is still firmly closed, announcing the tragedy that cannot be changed, while the prison clothes outside the door silently tell the story of that criminal history. This long shot is thought-provoking and quietly terrifying. The picture faded away with the sound of piano, but the audience could not calm down.
"My god!"
"It's so cruel!"
In fact, there is never a bloody scene in the entire movie, but this movie with children as the protagonist can capture the hearts of the audience without vigorous exaggeration. It is a sad fairy tale performed in the form of lies, and is optimistic throughout. The absurd style reveals an extremely strong pessimistic color and sense of substitution. This kind of witnessing the destruction after beauty finally gave the audience a huge impact and shock on the soul.
When the film came to an end and the lights in the theater came on again, a group of people led by Spielberg gave Wu Yuchen and the film endless applause.
"Wu, this is really a great movie! When I saw the two boys in the movie, it reminded me of those angel-like Jewish children who were buried in Auschwitz. The crimes of fascism are unforgivable!"
Wu Yuchen also held the other party's hand tightly: "Mr. Hughes, our Chinese nation also suffered from the devastation and persecution of fascism during World War II. I think we have a lot in common."
"Wu, you are really cruel! But this is really an amazing movie! All tragedies and evils stem from war, from those who initiate war, and from terrible extreme ideas!"
"Yes! As long as war exists, it will inevitably be accompanied by tragedy and evil!"
Cheng Long also came up and hugged Wu Yuchen tightly. After letting go of Wu Yuchen, he worshiped him, and then said: "Director Wu, I really want to worship you now! This movie is so important to our Chinese nation. It’s our nation’s movie!”
Seeing Cheng Long showing his sincere emotions at this time, Wu Yuchen also grabbed his arm: "No need to be like this, I am a descendant of China just like you. Isn't this what I should do?"
Wu Yuchen chatted with the people who came up to talk to him one by one. It was not until a long time later that he sent everyone away one by one. At this time, his inner mood was also ups and downs. Through the response from the premiere, he had high expectations for "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas".
The next day, some media already reported on Wu Yuchen's "The Boy in Striped Pajamas":
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Justin Wu's anti-war film is shocking!"
“Wu Yuchen exposes China’s Auschwitz!”
"The most touching movie of the year - "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!"
"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - a dark fairy tale."
"Among the many themes that reflect World War II, some are fierce or paranoid, and the perspectives are different. Some are famous for their grandeur, and some are famous for their weirdness. But when it comes to the naturalness of the story, the unique way of impacting human nature, and the inability to Let go of your mistakes, this "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" presented by Wu Yuchen is enough to shock people!
From a wonderful children's perspective, it perfectly reproduces the yin and yang and extreme peace. It touches everyone's heartstrings calmly and triggers extremely profound thinking about war, thoughts and human nature. "
“The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is pure and melancholic, just like the ridiculous giant screen of blue sky and green lawn that symbolizes life in the film.
In terms of setting and shots, Wu Yuchen often uses long shots and long shots with a strong sense of oppression, and there are hidden mysteries everywhere in the film. The cruel and cold concentration camp is in sharp contrast with the innocent and lovely children. From the perspective of a boy, he uniquely interprets the impact of war. The harm caused by human society and the emotional world is full of the desire for a peaceful world.
The film never directly addresses cruelty and gore, which does not mean that it intentionally avoids these issues. It is just that children's eyes cannot interpret it. It can only convey the bloody cruelty of that era through some details and hints..."
Reports and films about "The Boy in Striped Pajamas" have been released one after another. This is naturally the work of the film critics and reporters who watched the premiere yesterday. Of course, there is also the influence of Wu Yuchen and the film's public relations team behind it. strength.
This time, the public relations team for "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" was from DreamWorks. At this time, Wu Yuchen was talking with Spielberg.
"Steven, I want your help!"
"Oh, Wu, we are close partners and good friends. Of course DreamWorks and I will try our best to help you! And "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a great movie. I believe it will win the Oscar this year. The best foreign language film will be without any doubt!”
Spielberg said it with certainty. Not only because of the excellent quality of the movie itself and the confidence in the public relations team, but also because as Xiaobuk's black palace continues to release to the outside world and launch the Iraq war, the topic and trend of anti-war in Hollywood are becoming more and more intense. This film Anti-war movies are so timely!
"Thanks, Steven!"
But Wu Yuchen did not stop there, but continued: "But I want more than just a best foreign language film..."
Justin Wu has already won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with "Love". It's not that he doesn't want it, but that he wants more.
"I hope "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" can win a more important award. This movie is very important to me. I hope you can understand!" Wu Yuchen said with a sincere expression and a sincere tone.
A bigger award? There are only a few that are more important than the Best Foreign Language Film, including the Best Actor and Best Actor Awards, as well as Best Director and Best Picture.
After hearing this, Spielberg fell into thinking. The two awards of Best Actor and Best Actress were obviously impossible. Although a black actor and actress were born at the same time last year, everyone knows what happened, and the power of black people in Hollywood is much stronger than that of Asians. Asians will have to struggle for a long time if they want to win the actor and actress.
Then the remaining two awards are Best Director and Best Picture. And this puts Spielberg into trouble...
Spielberg was silent for a moment, and then said to Wu Yuchen: "Wu, we are friends, so I want to tell you something sincere. Do you know the film "The Pianist" that won the Palme d'Or in Cannes this year?"
Wu Yuchen nodded: "I know, it's a highly rated anti-war movie! Both Polanski's direction and Adrian's performance are great!"
Spielberg spread his hands: "Wu, just as I understand your feelings about "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," you must also understand that I am a Jew and I have to support this movie."
Even in Hollywood, where Jews have a major voice, Spielberg is also a core figure. He enjoys the convenience brought to him by his ethnicity, but he must bear his due responsibilities.
"The Pianist" is an excellent film by a Jewish director that reflects the suffering of the Jews, and he must stand up to support it.
Wu Yuchen was not very surprised by Spielberg's attitude. He had already guessed this result. This is why Wu Yuchen came to Spielberg today to talk openly about this.
"The Pianist" is also an anti-war film, and it also reflects the suffering of the Jews. It will undoubtedly hit the G-spot of the Jews and win the support of a large number of Jews. It will also be Wu Yuchen's biggest enemy at this Oscar, because The two movies belong to the same theme. In his previous life, "The Pianist" successfully won two awards for Best Director and Best Actor this year, and was Wu Yuchen's unavoidable enemy.
Wu Yuchen continued: "Steven, I admit that "The Pianist" is a very good film, and it is probably a strong contender for the best film this year. Polanski is also an excellent director... But, you Do you think Polanski should win the best director award?”
Spielberg fell into silence again when he heard Wu Yuchen's words. If we talk about his directing ability, there is nothing questionable about Polanski, and he can even be called top-notch. But this guy has a huge black spot...
Roman Polanski's experience is legendary. He spent his childhood in a concentration camp. His mother died tragically in the concentration camp. He escaped from the concentration camp with the help of a Pole and reunited with his father many years later.
He showed his talent as a talented director in his early years. In 1962, he directed and directed his first feature film "Knife in the Water", which was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 36th Academy Awards. In 1966, he directed the thriller "Cast Away", which won the 16th Berlin Golden Bear Award. In the following decades, he also won many awards and was a frequent visitor to the three major European events.
But in 1977, Polanski had an indescribable relationship with a 13-year-old girl and committed an unforgivable mistake. He knew the consequences he would bear in the United States, so after being imprisoned for 42 days, he was sentenced on the eve of sentencing. Fleeed America and was on the loose in Europe.
In fact, the controversy surrounding him is not only the "Strong Girl Case", but also the murder of his wife by a cult. His wife, who was 8 months pregnant, died of a murder by a cult, and he himself is the second target of police suspicion.
Therefore, Polanski can be said to have mixed reputations and reputations, and he is actually a notorious figure in the eyes of the public. After all, when he is mentioned, he is accompanied by the label of "strong criminal", and the target is a girl. Think about what ordinary people will think of him. Does such a person have a good impression?
If Polanski wins the Oscar for Best Director, Spielberg also knows how much public pressure and controversy this will bring.
But in the previous life, the Jews were under such great pressure and unanimous criticism from the outside world, and they forced Polanski to be the best director, because this "The Pianist" was too suitable for their appetite. One can imagine how influential Jews are in Hollywood.
But now Wu Yuchen is taking this opportunity to dismantle some of the internal forces of the Jews headed by Spielberg.
Wu Yuchen continued to look at Spielberg and said:
"Steven, "The Pianist" is excellent, and it deserves the best film, but can Polanski win the best director? If he wins the best director, it may not add much glory to the Jews, On the contrary, it will make more people understand that such a Jew is a 'strong criminal' who is enjoying privileges at large. Is this good or bad for your ethnic group?"
Spielberg is not stupid, and of course he understands that what Wu Yuchen said makes sense. But even so, he couldn't say anything about abandoning "The Pianist" in favor of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."
Then Wu Yuchen smiled at Spielberg again: "Hey, Steven, you don't need to be so nervous. Do you think "The Pianist" can win all the Oscars?"
"Um?"
Spielberg shook his head directly: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."
"Then why not concentrate your efforts? You should know how much resistance Polanski will have to win the best director and how much controversy it will bring, right? Rather than doing this, it is better to focus the public relations of "The Pianist" on the best director." Isn’t it better to focus on the movie and the best actor?”
Spielberg was caught in a tangle. He understood what Wu Yuchen meant, and wanted him to be the middleman, so that "The Pianist" should focus on the best picture, and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" should focus on the best director.
As the core of Hollywood Jews, Spielberg is capable of being the middleman if he opens his mouth. But doing so may make some people in the tribe dissatisfied with him. does it worth?
Spielberg looked up at Wu Yuchen again, who was at the peak of his career as a director. Not to mention other things, how much profit did "Pirate King" alone bring to DreamWorks?
This time Wu Yuchen took the initiative to ask him for help. Spielberg knew very well how much the other party valued the film. And the other party also made it very clear that Polanski should not win the best director for all reasons. If he doesn't side with him this time, maybe the "Pirate King" project will be ruined!
Others might not be able to do it, but Wu Yuchen is still a young guy. In the past few years, I had been in a fight with Disney and Eisner because of the Oscar. If I don't get it right this time, I might have a fight with myself because of the Oscar. The other party can really do something like postpone the filming of "Pirate King" indefinitely!
He knows that many major studios are now flirting with Wu Yuchen. Now it's not that Wu Yuchen can't live without their DreamWorks, but that DreamWorks can't live without Wu Yuchen!
Thinking of this, Spielberg was heartbroken. I have done enough for the Jews. I can't be made to pay for the Jews! What can Polanski bring to himself by winning the award? Let this strong criminal go to hell!
Isn’t it just a loss of prestige among some of the more extreme Jews? For Spielberg, it’s just a bit of trouble!
After thinking it over carefully, Spielberg showed a cordial and friendly smile to Wu Yuchen:
"Wu, I'm not just a Jew, I'm also a filmmaker and your friend. Whether it's because of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" or because of you, I will choose to stand by you! I will fully support you. Competing for Best Director!”
