My girlfriend is an idol - Chapter 2158

It’s not difficult to make a film with good reputation or high box office.

But shooting a film whose investment is already the current ceiling and must return to the capital, we must not tarnish the director’s reputation.

Together, this is simply the most difficult task in Spielberg’s directing career.

“So, now can you understand why I’m so embarrassed ~ ~”

Spielberg spread out his hands. “I refused at the first time, but… They used other methods.”

“What method? As you said before, shoot with a gun at you?”

Li Xianzhe blinked. Although the United States is a legal country with guns.

But… If celebrities like Spielberg don’t find a reason to spread it in this way, it’s not a glorious thing for them.

But similarly, if they can find a way that Spielberg can’t refuse… This kind of public figures often only value two things, life and reputation.

“They didn’t point a gun directly at my head, but they almost made that kind of action to hint.”

Spielberg raised his head, his eyes drooped slightly, and sighed.

“As soon as I came out of the headquarters of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, my assistant called me and said that there had been a big film I wanted to make on the American network, and it was a biography.”

Just after saying this, Li Xianzhe directly raised his hand and interrupted.

“Wait… You just said that the film that the people of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce asked you to make was a biography?”

“Yes…”

It seemed that he had expected Li Xianzhe’s surprised response. Spielberg slowly raised his eyes and took a look. There were no patients or medical staff passing here before he lowered his voice and talked about the cause of the matter.

“Since the release of Lincoln, I have found that I have a strong interest in biographical films.

At that time, it was popular in Hollywood to bring controversial characters such as drug lords or gang leaders to the stage.

But you also know that those directors simply use their fame to beautify them in the film, because it will offend many American politicians and even cause public dissatisfaction.

But it is impossible to say that complete slander. Therefore, shooting from an objective point of view has greatly tested the ability of a director, and has become a way for many directors to enhance their popularity and gain recognition from the outside world. ”

Against this background, Spielberg said slowly.

“It happened that I was still resting at that time. I accepted a private invitation from a friend who had been an Oscar judge and went to Beverly Hills to attend a private party.

At that party, I met Mr. Stuart Lang, the current head of Huaxia chamber of Commerce.

During the conversation, I told him the plan through drinking, and then he looked very interested.

I left in his car that night… As a result, after a while, he invited me to the headquarters of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Chinatown, New York and said he wanted to invite me to make a film similar to what I said. ”

Li Xianzhe nodded slightly, “so it’s like this… If so, just shoot it for him.

At most, you can let him explain it to you.

With your skills, it’s not difficult to write a suitable script? ”

“If it had been what you thought all along, I wouldn’t have been so upset.”

Knowing that what he expressed was not enough to explain the seriousness of the incident, Spielberg licked his chapped lips.

“I don’t think you know that since its establishment, the leader of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce has been in a moderate position. It is controlled by a family surnamed situ, and they have existed for more than 100 years.

This generation is already the third generation. The person who asked me to make a film was the third generation leader of the chamber of Commerce.

Although he has taken over the post of director, two-thirds of the power of the chamber of commerce is still firmly held by the director of the previous generation, that is, his father. This is very similar to a Chinese word. ”

“What word?” Li Xianzhe listened attentively.

“The Emperor… I don’t know if that’s right.”

Spielberg pushed the lens. “But then I inquired through the people around me. The power transfer in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was similar to what I thought. That’s why the head of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce asked me to make a film.”

“There should always be a character in making biographical films. Although there are many American biographical films, each of them is a very well-known existence, you…”

Staring into Spielberg’s eyes, Li Xianzhe then thought of an incredible idea.

“The person in charge of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce asked you to make a biographical film. Isn’t the character related to the situ family?”

“Lee! You are so smart ~ ~” Spielberg’s answer is very concise.

“Yes, they want me to shoot the character named situ Meitang. He is the first leader of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Lee… You have dealt with people from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the United States these years. You should have heard of this person? ”

“Oh, this praise is really not the time.”

When Spielberg said the name, Rao and Li Xianzhe were prepared and slightly moved.

The Chinese Chamber of commerce is an organization formed by the gathering of a generation of active Chinese businessmen in North America, and situ Meitang is the main figure in this organization.

Many associations among Chinese businessmen do not have the scenery of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in his hands, and the heads of Chinatowns all over the country work under his auspices.

This rule has not changed until today, which shows his strength.

(for this person, you can Baidu Encyclopedia to avoid being written by river crabs).

Sure enough, Spielberg directly admitted that his guess was right.

At this point, even Li Xianzhe knows that even if he asks Cameron for this hot potato, he may not dare to shoot it.

There are many reasons. Throughout the history of world biographical films, they are generally divided into ancient and modern.

The former exists in ancient times and has rich historical documents as a reference. The director has enough artistic space to play in this regard, and can process it on this basis according to the taste of the audience and the control of personal style.

A better director will rigorously verify every detail. Any director who claims to be a literary school wants to make a biographical film recognized by the public, which also has very high requirements for the director himself.

The latter is rarely photographed.

Shooting biographical films of modern characters is mostly surrounded by gangsters or politicians in Hollywood, but in the end, both word-of-mouth and box office have exploded. Even if Li Xianzhe asks himself that he has seen many Hollywood biographical films, he can’t think of a few at the moment.

“Lee, in fact, you know, I have made a lot of literary and commercial films since I became a director, and the word-of-mouth box office is also good. The American audience can trust me, so once my new work comes out, the attention is unprecedented.

Saving Private Ryan, the only one that is a little close to the biographical film, is still personal heroism, with a lot of fictional elements, but the background is in the familiar World War II era. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce asked me to make this film, which is real, and there can’t be many false or even slander elements in it. “
