Chapter 982 Black Flags All Over Hollywood Chapter 983 The First Movie of Agelo Corleone(1/3)

What Munau, who is already in danger, never forgets is who can take over his job in DreamWorks. In his opinion, this is a very important thing, because DreamWorks needs to have a leader in art movies no matter when.

I naturally know his painstaking efforts.

Indeed, for DreamWorks to develop, it requires leaders in all aspects, and the importance of art films to DreamWorks is beyond doubt.

Munau recommended one person.

"Boss, look at Robert Bresson?" Muno looked at me with a smile on his face.

"Bresong?" I also laughed.

"Boss, although he is still very young, his talent in movies, especially in art films, is something that many Hollywood directors cannot compare with. This person looks very similar to me in personality, but he is more sensitive and more delicate. He sees the problems and angles of the world. I have seen several very small scripts he wrote. Although they are all experimental works, they already have the potential of a movie master. You must keep this person. After I leave, you can focus on cultivating him. If you really want to put him up, there will be someone in DreamWorks art films." Munau looked at me with a flushing face.

I know, this is a sign of a rebirth.

"Boss, after I die, let's bury me on our back mountain, beside Gith, so that I can see DreamWorks every day." Muno held my hand and shivered slightly.

"I think about it, I have been so happy in the past few years. I can make movies carefree and express my opinions in the movies without restraint. This is my luck." Munau took a deep breath and asked me to help him up.

I walked over, helped him up, and let him sit on the bed.

He tilted his head and looked at a window next to him.

I understood what he meant and walked over to open the window.

Outside the window, there is a piece of emerald green, the green trees sway in the wind, and the blue sky further away.

You can also hear the prayers and crying of the people coming from below the hospital.

Munau stared outside, looking very seriously.

"It's so beautiful, so beautiful." He murmured.

I stood by the window and looked at the vibrant world outside, feeling extremely sad.

"Time, can it be slower, can it be slower..."

Munau's voice became weaker.

Then, I couldn't hear anything.

I stood at the window and did not turn around.

Tears began to fall!

I was facing a huge world, but I felt that this world was so empty, so empty that it made people feel panicked!

I began to choke down, and then tears remained, turning into a wailing sound!

May 13, 1931. He followed me all the way to the hospital since the beginning of DreamWorks.

This day became the most sad day in my life.

I stood in front of the window, my mind was blank, I only knew that at this time I lost a close friend, a confidant, a subordinate, DreamWorks lost a general, Hollywood, an excellent director, and a movie master!

In fact, the losses are far more than that.

The door of the ward was pushed open and many people walked in. Then a burst of crying sounded.

"Boss, Munau is gone..." Gans walked to my ground, his eyes filled with tears.

I nodded and turned around.

Munau lay on the bed, his eyes closed slightly, his attitude was peaceful, and he was very at ease when he left without any regrets.

I remember what he said before leaving: "It's so beautiful, it's so beautiful, time, can it be slower, can it be slower..."

No miracles happen, time is just to anyone. It will not stop for people, cruel and ruthless.

"Mr. Corleon. We can transport Mr. Munau's body out." The two doctors came over and said to me quietly.

I nodded.

"Gans, prepare for the funeral committee. Some things are still busy," I told Gans.

"Okay, Yassel and I will do this right away." Gans and Yassel walked out.

The doctor came over, put Munau on the cart, and slowly pushed out of the ward.

This person who once fought side by side with me is getting further and further away from me.

"Andre." Leni walked over and hugged me from behind. I lowered my head and touched Agelo's soft hair.

"Dad, why did those people push Uncle Munau away?" asked Agalo.

"Uncle Munau is asleep." I replied.

"Then when will he wake up? Can I still see him?" asked Agalo seriously.

"Yes, you might be able to see him when you are dreaming." I smiled.

The conversation between us father and son made many people in the room unable to help but cover their mouths and sobbed violently.

Stenborough, Stiller, Griffith, Dunar, Flahadi, Visconti, Bresson, Fatty, Gary Grant... all those who have worked with Murnau all cried into tears.

"Everyone, go ahead and have a lot of things to do." I waved to them.

Munau left, and after he left, we had to do a lot of things.

On the morning of that day, major media such as Lockettke TV, NBC, CBS, etc. all reported the news of Munau's death. As soon as the news came out, the whole country was shocked.

As the most important art film director in Hollywood and a core member of the DreamWorks director team, Munau's status in the Hollywood film industry is recognized, and he has a large number of movie fans. His death has caused the people of the entire country to be in grief.

"Mr. Munau is one of the greatest directors in Hollywood. He is a veritable film master! His films have formed a unique style with strong religious plots and profound thoughts on the world, audiences, and exploration and questioning of the fate of mankind. It can be said that in Hollywood, his films are a benchmark, a benchmark representing the peak of artistic films. In this regard, except for a few filmmakers in Hollywood, many people can only look up to him."

"Mr. Muno has gone. Hollywood has since lost a great director. But his spirit of treating movies and treating the world seriously and responsibly will remain in our hearts and on this land for a long time!"

CBS made great praise for Munau.

"I don't believe this news at all! I don't believe it now either! Because I had seen him two days ago, in Los Angeles, he stood across the street and greeted me. He was wearing a plaid shirt with a cigarette in his mouth, and he laughed and shouted to me; Hi John! Now, how could I believe he left us!"

"He is a legend, an absolute legend! His movies are one of the best movies in Hollywood! He inherited the fine tradition of German films and had a heavy soul with a shining light! I am honored to be in the same era as him! I am honored to be his friend! No matter when, Munau is immortal!"

During the interview, John Ford burst into tears.

"I am sad for Hollywood. I am sad for DreamWorks. We have lost a person who sounded the horn! Although Hollywood movies have developed in recent years, the number of good art movies has declined. Munau is one of the few people who can persevere. If the development of Hollywood is regarded as a war, then Munau is the man who always sounds the horn of the charge in this war. His trumpet will make those fighting feel the motivation to move forward, let us know where we should charge. Let us know what we should do the most, let us know what our responsibilities are."

"Now, we have lost a man who blows the horn. I am very sad."

As the honorary mayor of Hollywood, Grant, who appeared on TV, choked speechlessly.

In the afternoon of that day, all newspapers in Los Angeles were released. In Hollywood, there was no such thing as a director's death.

"Monau was lucky. He was lucky to be born in this era. Luckily came to Hollywood, entered DreamWorks, and met Andre Corleon. If he were in Germany, his film talent might not be able to be so vivid."

"When he came to Hollywood, he was just a little director who was not very famous, but now he is one of the best film masters in Hollywood! Many people say that among Hollywood filmmakers, Munau is heterogeneous, and he seems a little out of place with others. But it is precisely because of his heterogeneity that such a person has become a representative of a spirit, and this spirit is art!"

"Andre Corleon personally grabbed the banner. Munau is one of the flag bearers, and the most important one. Now that the flag bearer has fallen, it is a huge loss for both DreamWorks and Hollywood. What we have to do, besides crying, we have to think about who will take over his position. This is an important question."

In the Los Angeles Times, this article by Adam Bernstein is very impressive. This is the most famous Hollywood critic, always looking at problems so deeply.

"Monau's death represents the end of an era in Hollywood? I don't think so. I think with his passing, we will pay more attention to art films, the kind of things he strives to maintain, and the path he insists on."

"Monau's death sounded the alarm bell, which will lead us forward and towards glory."

The front page of the Los Angeles Tribune published a long commentary article. The first two paragraphs of this article objectively evaluate the significance of Munau's death.

In addition to the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Tribune, other newspapers' extrapolations have reported on Muno's death. In this matter, no matter how the media's previous attitude towards DreamWorks was, this time it was unprecedentedly consistent, that is grief and regret.

Even media like NBC and the six major broadcasters in Los Angeles that are extremely hated by DreamWorks, are regretful to the death of Munau in their reports.

After all, the scores of the Monaudi, the movies of the Monaudi, the man of the Monaudi is well known.

However, in addition to the DreamWorks people, the most sad thing about Moonau's death is also the vast number of movie fans.

Outside the First Hospital in Los Angeles, countless people gathered to spontaneously mourn the director who used the movie to touch them. They lit lots of candles on the ground, and the mourning flowers filled the hospital gate.

Many movie fans were crying with portraits of Munau in their hands. The posters of the movies that Munau had filmed were posted on the wall, and they were all at the beginning.

At the entrance of the hospital, a huge banner that a movie fan pulled up touched many people, with only one sentence on it: "Monau, a great movie. It's over!"

On this day, shortly after Munau's death, many people discovered that the red dragon flag that had never been lowered, which had been floating at the highest point of DreamWorks, slowly landed. Instead, it was a huge black flag without any decoration!

This shot shocked everyone after reporting by Lockettke TV.

Because even when Herbert Hoover passed away, DreamWorks only symbolically lowered the flag at half a flag to mourn, but now, the red dragon flag that never dropped has fallen down for the first time. And it has also been replaced with a black flag. Everyone knows the meaning of this action.

Almost at the same time, all the subsidiaries of DreamWorks made the same move.

Dreamworks people use this method to express their incomparable sorrow.

More than ten minutes later, Crescent Film Company opposite DreamWorks lowered their full moon flag and raised the black flag.

Not long after, Universal Films and MGM Films raised the black flag.

Then, Warner Bros. Film Company, Paramount Film Company, 20th Century Film Company, New Line Film Company and other major film companies raised the black flags...

When black flags rise, the atmosphere in Hollywood becomes unprecedentedly solemn.

Because of a person's death, black flags floated over Hollywood, which is also unprecedented.

However, there are also companies that did not raise the price. Leidianhua Film Company, Columbia Film Company and other companies just lowered the flag at half-mast, but were then condemned by all audiences and Hollywood.

In the afternoon, two more black flags were raised, and the rise of these two black flags became a focus.
To be continued...
