Chapter 506 The chaotic media storm (2) Chapter 507 Opening the back door of Pius XI(1/3)
One of the biggest characteristics of "The Passion of Jesus" mentioned by Han Ford is the perfect fit to achieve the end.
"I think in Hollywood, there are very few people who can perfectly match the scenes and emotions, and Andre Corleon is the most successful one. Starting from his first work "Lust and Caution", every movie after that, Andre Corleon attaches great importance to the subjective emotions that the movie wants to express through the picture. The reason why "The Passion of Jesus" made all the audience so crazy and made them cry loudly at the screen was not because the audience was so stupid, but because facing such a movie, the audience has been deeply involved in the play, and they have been brought into the strong emotions set by Andre Corleon for it."
"It can be said that DreamWorks movies, including other directors other than Andre Corleon, such as Stevenberg, Stiller, and Munau, are obviously tragic. The tragic meaning is already shown in most of DreamWorks movies. 'Dreamworks movies are all crying'. Although it is not all right to summarize DreamWorks movies in this sentence, it at least points to a feature of DreamWorks movies. "The Passion of Jesus" is a solid tragedy from beginning to end, but not entirely a tragedy, because it has a bright tail and a urge to move people upward. In the movie, in order to perfectly show this emotion, Andre Corleon has done a lot of effort in setting the camera."
"In the selection of scenery, the strange dark woods, the thick fog, the hazy moonlight, the dim temple... These scenery perfectly set off the tragic emotions, and the torture and crucification behind them are displayed in another completely different way. This method is dynamic and impactful, which forms a sharp contrast with the tranquility and depth in front, and the two also reach an interaction, and in the interaction. The emotions of the whole movie become extremely full."
"Most of the whole movie "The Passion of Jeremy" is tragic, but Andre Corleon did not let the tragedy be clear to each shot. In the movie, he deliberately added an unusually warm shot, such as the scene of Jeremy as a carpenter and his mother playing with him, such as the scene of Maria remembering that Jeremy fell and picked him up when she was a child, and the scene of Jeremy finally resurrected and walked out of the grave and towards the rising sun, all of which made us feel extremely warm. In such a play, Andre Corleon's handling method is very different. It can be said that the tragic shot in the front is that the light is dim and the picture is dark. But when these shots are approached, the surface becomes obviously softer and brighter. These shots are like diamonds flashing in the darkness, making the movie so dazzling."
"In addition, in terms of music use, "The Passion of Jesus" is also a classic. We all know that DreamWorks is the inventor of audio films. The directors of DreamWorks pay more attention to sound than other Hollywood directors. In "The Passion of Jesus", cello and violin have become the two most important accompanimental instruments. These music are heartbreakingly beautiful from the hands of Potter, the winner of the last Harvey Award for Best Music Award. Every time the cello sounds, the sound of a cello with only one's courage makes the sadness in our hearts overflow like a river breaking a dam, while the sharp violin is like a knife. It is slowly sawing in our hearts, making us feel extremely distressed, but we are so happy. As for the sound of the flute, especially the sound of the bagpipe, it conquered everyone's eardrums, and merged with the picture, creating an unparalleled shocking effect."
"What I want to say in particular is the classical soundtrack in "The Passion of Jesus". When it comes to this, everyone may think of a piece of music, the female aria of Bach's "The Passion of Matthew". This classical piece has almost become a symbol of Andre Corleon and DreamWorks movies. It appears in many Andre Corleon's personal works, and frequently in the works of other directors in DreamWorks."
"Bach's immortal masterpiece has a heavy ideological connotation and unique significance. In the movie, it will definitely have a new effect with the movie's pictures. But this time, I think this piece is more than ever before. Because "The Passion of Matthew" was originally written for the Passion of Jesus, and with the theme of "The Passion of Jesus", and the master-level directorial skills of Andre Corleon, the power burst out is extremely amazing. When I was watching this movie, the previous plays were trying hard to keep myself from crying, but the moment the music started, I couldn't help but burst into tears. At that time, the cinema was completely weeping. In Hollywood, no director who could give classical music a new life has never done a better job than Andre Corleon."
It can be said that in Hollywood, in addition to Stevenger, Stiller, and Griffith, the direct directors of the DreamWorks School that I helped up, John Ford is the person who best understands my film principles and creative techniques. His analysis of "The Passion of Jesus" is extremely accurate and in line with my real creative ideas, which amazed me.
After spending a lot of time analyzing the artistic style and shooting techniques of "The Passion of Jesus", John Ford began to turn to the social influence of the film.
"I have said a long time ago that Andre Corleon's movies seem to have a strong sense of social responsibility and artistic standards, which is inseparable from the personality of Andre Corleon. Since "Lust and Corleon", Andre Corleon has always regarded expressing human nature, expressing the ultimate care, moral salvation and freedom of the world as the core of his movies. This can be seen from "Lust and Corleon", "The People Who Seek Help", "Draculous Heart", and then to this "The Passion of Jesus" and some other DreamWorks movies."
"It can be said that the movies produced by DreamWorks are not bad movies made specifically for making money. This is the pride of DreamWorks and the pride of Hollywood. "The Passion of Jeremy" has been under tremendous public pressure since its filming. Before that, no director dared to attack religion and dared to sing a stage drama with the Vatican Church. At the beginning, almost all of us had a question in our hearts, believing that this time Andre Corleon was going to get into trouble, and many people even felt the sense of content that this movie wanted to show.
Dissatisfaction and anger. But Andre Corleon persevered, he did not get discouraged or retreat, but bravely finished the film and released it with great pressure. What was the result? As a result, he showed us a truth that had been blinded for two thousand years! He revealed the biggest scam in history! I think that in Hollywood history, no director has ever done anything similar to this: with a movie, it can influence the world, influence the substantive lives of thousands of people, and even faith!"
"To a certain extent, the audience likes this movie, the audience cheers enthusiastically for the movie, and the film has achieved great success. In addition to its outstanding artistic skills, it can be deeply rooted in social problems.
It is also an important reason to tie it together.”
"We Hollywood directors are so used to seeing movies as entertainment. Although this view has been corrected to a certain extent under the rise of DreamWorks, the minds of proud Hollywood filmmakers are still deeply rooted in the minds. With such ideas, what we shoot at best is just profitable film without any huge driving force on society. In this regard, Andre Corleon is the representative of the most successful Hollywood people."
"The Passion of Jerusalem was successful, and Andre Corleon was successful again. He left us a lot of revelations, and these revelations need to be digested slowly."
John Ford's article is written very long, but every word is meticulous. The analysis is so thorough that I feel like I can meet a confidant.
The Los Angeles Times' later articles are almost all commentary articles, which are aimed at the "The Land of the Passion of Jesus" and the church, and their words are all very intense.
Compared with the Los Angeles Times, the Los Angeles Tribune is even more sarcastic.
On the front page of this issue, a huge photo was published.
—
There is only one Pope crown that was thrown to the ground in the photo.
The title is: "Vatican liar, get out of the United States!"
Editor-in-chief Limore wrote a comment, which was extremely sharp.
"I have read books for several years and know that many ugly and shameful things have happened in history, but last night, these things that I thought were extremely ugly and shameful before became a hundred times brighter in the face of one thing! A big scam of two thousand years! What can make people feel more angry and sad than this? In the past two thousand years, countless people have devoted their souls devoutly under the lies of the Vatican Church. They knelt down to the Pope wearing a crown and handed over their property and soul to him, but never found that they were a group of liars who deceived their souls!"
"Yes is great, righteous, but also sad. He was pushed to the most important position in the church by a group of liars and was completely used as a guise for deception. I was wondering what expression would be on his face if he had walked on the cross with a firm faith in God, if he was still alive, and now knowing that his disciples used themselves to destroy the commandments of their faith."
"Yeah, I'm dead, there's no way to be resurrected. We can't see his expression, but we can see it on the faces of countless Americans. It was an expression of incomparable anger and an expression of disappointment!"
"In the name of an American citizen, an American citizen who has regarded truth and freedom as the highest norms throughout my life, I ask the Vatican liars to get out of the United States! This is a bright and free land, not a place where ghosts and monsters shake their heads and tails! I also call on our dear companions to stand up and work together to drive these liars out of the United States!"
Limore was almost angry. Behind his articles, almost famous critics in Los Angeles and the entire West published similar articles. This issue of the Los Angeles Tribune is a complete slaughter. I wonder what Pius XI thought about this issue of the newspaper.
The Citizens' newspaper has always been the newspaper I admire the most. Every issue of them is completely different from the contents of the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Tribune. They are often loved by readers because of their distinctive angles and unique topics. This time, their newspapers are also unique.
On the front page of the Citizen News, a row of photos are placed.
The first is my photo. It is my still in "The Passion of Jesus". The second photo is a photo of Pope Solomon V of the traditional sect. The third photo is a back photo, which does not show the face of the person being photographed. It is a photo of the high priest. The fourth photo is a hand-painted mural with the God who is creating the world, but his face cannot be seen.
Below these four photos, there is a line of bright red bold titles: "Who made the Vatican Church fall down!?"
"The Vatican Church is about to fall, for two thousand years. They built a building, but last night, the cornerstone of the building was removed, so it was about to fall! This is a good thing, a great thing! This reminds us of a line that Hollywood movies often use: Light will eventually defeat the darkness, and the princess and princes will eventually live happily together."
"The Vatican Church, this dark cloud that has covered the sky for a total of two thousand years, has finally disappeared. When we see the long-lost sun, we should think about it, who gave us a clear sky!"
Next, Citizen News began to analyze one by one.
"First of all, Andre Corleon, the greatest film director in Hollywood, the father of Hollywood movies, the conscience of the American public and society, in "The Passion of Jerusalem", in this incident, he threw the torch to the building that the Vatican was painstakingly run by himself and burned it. He is the most indelible person! If two thousand years ago, Jesus went to the cross with the determination to reappear the glory of the Father. Then today,
Two thousand years later, Andre Corleon has become Jehovah. He used his own film, his soul, and his own persistent spirit to light up the torch that had been blinded for two thousand years and spread the glory of God again to the world! It can be said that Andre Corleon is our Jehovah. Although he had been named a righteous man before, we still have to say that Andre Corleon is a righteous man who is as great as Jesus, who leads us to the truth!”
The comments about me made me stick out my tongue. I could still accept the previous words, but compared me with Ya. I couldn't accept it.
After commenting on me, they began to comment on Solomon V again.
"The Vatican Church has collapsed in the United States. We want to build a new temple. At present, it seems that the most likely person to become our religious leaders is Pope Solomon V of the traditional sect. If Andre Corleon burned out the Vatican Church with fire, then the traditional sect, the sect that has always adhered to the truth, will never rekindle the Vatican Church. They will be the terminators of the Vatican Church in the United States."
As for the analysis of the high priest, the Citizens' newspaper wrote very interestingly.
"Last night, an old man in a black robe became the biggest suspense. I think no one knew where he came from, nor where he was going. We only heard Mr. Corleone call him the high priest, and Pius XI called him Moses of the Lemore family on the radio, but we saw Mr. Corleone, who did not even bend over when he saw Pope Pius XI, kneeling to him. Pope Solomon V, of the traditional sect, kneeled to him, and even the arrogant and domineering Pius XI, saw him like a mouse and a cat! At the last moment, this old man in black robe revealed his own secret that had been buried for two thousand years. What we want to ask is, who is he!?"
"Many people say that he is God. The reason for saying this is because the God who appears as a narrator in "The Passion of Jerusalem" has the same voice as him. What he does makes it difficult for us not to believe
God, because of the things he brought out and the words he said, there is probably no one else who can know. But what is certain is that he is not God. This old man in black robe and the high priest of the Golden Family, he has left us too many mysteries, too many!"
After analyzing the Citizens' Newspaper, the final reason was placed here by God.
"No matter what, one thing is certain, that is, the fall of the Vatican Church is God's will. For two thousand years, the Father's glory has been almost obscured by these liars. This time, if he wants to create the world, he will spread his glory to the world as he created the world, and what we have to do is to cross the darkness of these two thousand years and hold his heart to his ground."
Compared with the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Tribune, the style of the Citizens is relaxed. However, in the following pages, they almost extended their brushstrokes to all key issues, such as what situation the United States will face after the fall of the Vatican, who is the black-robed high priest, how the traditional sects will look up, etc., they all picked up the questions nakedly, and distributed a large number of pictures and text analysis.
"It's a bitch, it's lively now! I can't do it anymore if I don't think it's lively!" Coolidge looked at the newspapers next to him, lowered his head and hummed.
"Are you finished?" I asked.
"It's finished."
"I'll leave after I finish eating. It's not as lively as it's so lively. We have to come forward and fan the fire!" I stood up, picked up my coat, and squeezed Coolidge's eyes.
After exiting the back door of the Imperial Hotel, Coolidge and I rode all the way to downtown Los Angeles.
From Hollywood to Los Angeles, the scenes I saw on the road were full of people. Almost every block, people were rushing to the Christian church, and many pastors and priests were driven out.
"Andre. Now the United States has become the few countries in the world that do not accept the leadership of the Vatican Church." Coolidge looked at the riots outside and smacked his lips.
"It seems that you feel very sorry. Do you want to wait and say that when I talk to the people, the president is deeply sorry for the experience of the Vatican Church?" I smiled at Coolidge.
"Stop teasing, wouldn't you let me die then?" Coolidge smiled and suddenly sighed.
"So what's wrong?" I was very upset when I saw him like this.
"I find you are a good person to cause trouble." Coolidge suddenly said something unreasonable.
"What does it mean?" I couldn't understand.
Coolidge spread his hands and said, "Where you are there will always be big riots. The last time you incited the civil rights movement, it almost dragged the United States into the abyss of chaos. This time, the federal government just wanted to weaken the strength of the Vatican Church, let them know that the conquest of the United States does not allow them to point fingers at the political and economic life of the United States, and teach them a lesson and let them be more disciplined. You can uproot them all at once. I am convinced of you."
"Mr. President, you underestimate his strength." Holkina, who was driving, answered in front.
"Yes! That's right! I just underestimated his strength!" Coolidge felt sad.
When I entered Los Angeles, I patted Coolidge on the shoulder and asked where he was going.
"This question is a bit tricky. Where do you think we should go?" Coolidge frowned.
I smiled and said, "There are three places we can go now. The first is the Los Angeles Municipal Government, the second is the Grand Plaza in the center of Los Angeles, and the last is the Cathedral of the Vatican Western Diocese."
"Then where do you think it's better?" Coolidge asked me back.
"This depends on what you mean. The Los Angeles Municipal Government is a more official place. Wherever you speak, it has a very formal meaning, which is equivalent to representing the US government. When we go to the Cathedral of the Western Diocese of the Vatican, the people may demolish the church once we finish talking. In this way, the Vatican Church has been completely wiped out by us. As for going to the big square in the center of Los Angeles, the most people gathered there. It is completely easy for us to speak there. After the talk, it depends on what the people do." I analyzed Coolidge and then smirked.
Coolidge grinned: "It's not possible to go to the Los Angeles Municipal Government. There are few people in that place. At most, it's just a group of journalists. It's not very powerful and has no effect. I don't want to speak on behalf of the US government. I want to speak on behalf of the US government as Calvin Coolidge, an ordinary American citizen. It's not appropriate to go to the Los Angeles Municipal Government. As for going to the cathedral, that's not possible. I don't want to make things so bad. Besides, Pius XI is still inside. If the people demolish the church and smash him to death, then we have the responsibility to be unable to shirkee. Although the Americans have already recognized his true face, he is still the supreme pope in other places. So, let's go to the big square in the city center."
"Okay, then go to the Grand Plaza!" I was amused by Coolidge's serious look.
In the big square in downtown Los Angeles, as long as there is something big in Los Angeles, there will definitely be a lot of people here, and this time it is the same.
On the way to the Grand Plaza, you can see people holding slogans and shouting slogans everywhere. They gathered towards the Grand Plaza like streams.
We got off the car halfway through, and Coolidge called Pang Mao and asked him to take someone to set up the big square and then invite all the media. In order to make things a big deal, I also called Los Angeles 1 Director Los Angeles 1 and asked him to send the news that Coolidge and I were going to speak in the square through the radio.
After the call, we hid in a corner of the cafe and had coffee.
After the radio broadcast that Coolidge and I were going to speak in the square, the streets outside were in full swing and people rushed to the square, in chaos.
We stayed leisurely for an hour, and felt that the world was almost done, so we got up and went to the main square.
When we arrived at the main square, Pang Mao and others had been waiting there for a long time. The highest point of the square was filled with American flags in front of the Lincoln statue.
"God, why are there so many people?" Looking at the scene in front of him, Coolidge sighed.
The large square was crowded with people, and there was no sight at all. The number of people in the square appeared even more than the number of people gathered here during the Civil Rights Movement last year.
Looking around, countless slogans were placed over the crowd, the American flag, the DreamWorks Red Dragon Flag, the traditional sect's emblem and other flags were all lifted into the air.
There are huge banners of several floors hanging on the buildings around the square. These banners include posters of Jeremy played by me in "The Passion of Jeremy", and many slogans with words. The largest one is hung on the high building behind us, with only one sentence on it: "God is the greatest. My Father is the greatest!"
Seeing Coolidge and I appear on the platform, the people were in a state of excitement and shouts were heard.
"The United States is the United States of the Americans, not the United States of the Vatican
"Let the liar get out of the United States!"
"We don't need a charlatan!"
...
A shout, deafening,
To be continued...
