In the eyes of these guys at DreamWorks, including those of good people, it is an easy thing for me. Dear friend: If you like this novel, please go to the Chinese website. Over the years of reading, this has almost formed an inertial thinking, that is, Andre Corleon's movies are definitely classics, and they will definitely make people feel trembling.

But this time, I was really stumped by such a new movie. Under such circumstances, the meaning of such a movie itself is no longer as simple as a movie. This is just like the Declaration of Independence before the founding of the United States. It is not just a document, it carries too many things. It is the document that inspired the Americans at that time and allowed them to come together.

The movie I want to shoot now is definitely not comparable to the Declaration of Independence in the sense, but looking at the situation in Hollywood, people are in panic and the morale of major film companies is sluggish. Gans is right at all. At this time, there is indeed a need for a movie that can inspire people.

And I think such a movie is not just as exciting as it is. At least it can reflect the current situation and sound the clarion call for Hollywood filmmakers to resist.

When Coolidge chatted with me, these words undoubtedly made my eyes lit up. Yes, I have a deep understanding of the feeling he said. In this country, from the beginning to the heart's disappointment, I have not only had this emotion, but also Coolidge, the person who claims to have loved the most in the United States, the people of DreamWorks, Hollywood filmmakers, and the American people all have this feeling, that the United States is now far from the same United States as before. It has begun to become a little disappointing and has become a heart-distanced.

And being distant inside is the most terrible thing.

If you can shoot a movie with such a feeling, it will not only fit the current mood of people, but also reflect my feelings.

Once such a movie comes out, it will not only gain great recognition from Hollywood movies, but also resonate with the American people in their hearts.

A movie that resonates with people is a good movie.

So when Coolidge finished saying this, I fell into deep thought. Coolidge looked at me and then frowned again.

"But Andre, if I really shoot such a movie, I'm still a little worried." Coolidge looked at me and said straight.

"What are you worried?" I asked. "Look. Now Roosevelt is so miserable by us. The Non-US Investigation Committee is dismayed. I must be angry with us. If we shoot a movie with such a theme, maybe we will be charged by the Non-US Investigation Committee. You will be in trouble. You will be expelled or besieged as usual. Then DreamWorks and Hollywood will be in a bad situation." Coolidge said so much that I felt nervous.

He thought very thoughtfully. If the film is really shot in reality, it is taken from the land of the United States, and after the screening, it is a theme like this, a disappointment with the country. It is just the thought of the African-US Commission of Investigation. You know, in the Sjostram film, there are only some unobtrusive criticism of American society and they are expelled from the non-US Commission of Investigation. In comparison, the film I am about to shoot is a theme like this. It would be strange if I am not expelled.

"This is a problem. But I think this idea is very good. If you can convey such a theme, whether it is for our DreamWorks exhibition or for Roosevelt and the Democratic criticism, it will have great benefits." I rubbed my temples and said, "But then again, you are talking about this kind of thing. This theme will definitely make those guys from non-US investigation committees overjoy."

"Andre. Then I think it's better to change the theme. Although this theme is good, it's troublesome to shoot it." Coolidge weighed it himself first. Then he still felt that shooting such a movie was not cost-effective.

But I shook my head. Because I really like this topic so much. There is a kind of heroic and a faint sadness. Most importantly, it comes from the deepest part of my heart. This kind of theme is what I like. After discussing so many themes, I think this is the only thing that I am satisfied with.

"But Andre..." Coolidge opened his mouth. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by me.

"Calvin, stop talking.

That's it. We'll shoot such a movie." I made up my mind.

At any time, it is very difficult to make up your mind on one thing, especially such a major thing.

But sometimes, no matter how difficult it is to make a decision or how hesitate, you must always have your own principles at the last moment.

My principle is my heart. When I feel that the bottom line has been broken in something, no matter how difficult it is, I will make the final decision.

And now, the theme of this movie has broken through my inner defense, because just thinking about it makes me tremble.

"Calvin, as for the danger you mentioned, there must be some, and it will be very high. But we can take some methods to complete it, which can not only allow such a movie to convey this feeling, but also make it impossible for the non-US Bureau of Investigation to catch our handle." I narrowed my eyes.

"Is there such a way? I would like to hear it carefully." Coolidge was very interested.

I smiled and said, "Actually, this method is very simple, it is just tactful. You know, making movies is like writing articles, and there is time.

Expressing our feelings in vain will lead to a lot of things that shouldn’t have been expressed in a tactful way. If we change to a tactful expression, it will not only make people understand it, but also make those who want to hurt us unable to do it."

“Isn’t this just ambiguousness?

I hate this thing." Coolidge rubbed his hands.

"Of course it's not ambiguous. I hate it too." I smiled and continued: "For example, if we shoot this movie so straightforwardly, it will definitely be targeted by the Non-US Investigation Bureau to do a good job. But if we adopt some strategies, it is better to put the story of the movie abroad, on another land, or in ancient times, and it also expresses that the protagonist first defends something and finally disappoints. When watching such a movie, the audience will accurately understand what I mean from it, and it will not prevent them from projecting these problems in the movie into the current American society. As for the Non-US Investigation Committee, they naturally cannot grasp our braids."

"Wonderful! This method is wonderful!" Coolidge praised the high-high.

"So as long as we can shoot along such a road, there should be no problem." I lay on the chair and laughed out loud.

"But Andre, the question now is, do you choose to shoot in foreign countries or in ancient times? As far as I know, these two aspects are not easy. Americans have no history and cannot be placed in ancient times in the United States, nor can they be photographed in American land. In this way, they can only be used in foreign countries. In this way, the scope of the subject matter will be larger." Coolidge grinned.

"Yes, the scope has been wide since then. It is obvious that there are so many countries in the world that choose the most suitable one. But one thing I am very clear is that at least this country can give Americans a deep ideological and cultural recognition." I continued.

"That's Britain. Britain has a long history, and in terms of culture, no country in the world can make us feel more aware of than the British culture." Coolidge could think, and simply expressed his own thoughts: "I think it's better to adapt and shoot Shakespeare's classic works. Among his classic works, there are too many such themes."

Coolidge himself is a Shakespearean fan, and the suggestion he made is in line with his style.

I shook my head and expressed my objection: "Shakespeare's things are a bit elegant. They can be used in dramas, but they often have no sense of camera and explosive power when moving to movies. Besides, although the UK has a close relationship with us in culture, you should know that in the hearts of Americans, you don't agree with this country very much. If you choose such a country to express such content, the audience will not produce the desired effect when watching it."

"I'm saying that. I didn't think about this carefully." Coolidge nodded convincingly.

"But I think the cultural closeness you put forward is a good idea. Let me think about it carefully and check the information by the way. Maybe I can come up with a good topic." I stood up and walked into the office.

The next thing to do is to find the information. When the topic has been determined, it is obviously targeted to check the information.

The archive room established by DreamWorks is the largest of Hollywood and even the world's film companies. The entire ten floors are all information. These information are not in rows like the museum. This information room is completely built for movies. The information included in it is rich and diverse, including books, images, newspapers, and publications that have not been officially approved on the bottom floor. There are only one function of these information, which is to stimulate film creators, provide inspiration, provide a story, or provide a rough outline.

As soon as I entered the information room, I basically stayed inside, eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping inside for two days.

In two days, I was wandering around in piles of information, covered in dust.

After reading countless information and countless stories, most of them were irrelevant. Even if some relationships could make me consider them, I gave up on them in the end for various reasons.

This process is really like a difficult labor.

By the next day, my head was completely numb. Even if I opened the information, there was no content in my mind and I couldn't read it at all.

Is this the bottleneck period for directors that Hollywood filmmakers often say?

But I don't believe this statement.

I sat there, facing rows of frames and rows of information, quietly, and I didn't know where I was.

"Dad! Dad!" At this moment, a voice restored my numb nerves.

Turning his face, Yagelo and Wapoly two cubs walked in. Yagelo was wearing a small suit, with a greasy and powdery face, like a little gentleman, while Wapoly was wearing a denim suit and a hat that was obviously larger, which made me laugh.

The two little guys swayed to me, rushed up and hugged my neck.

"You haven't been back for so many days, and the children miss you. They cry and make noise to see you, but I can't coax you no matter how much I coax you." Holgina and Natalia looked at the father and son, and shook their heads.

"Dad, mom said you don't want home anymore." Yagalo said in a slight voice as he hugged my neck.

"Then I'll go back and spank her! That's nonsense." I looked at Holkina and burst into laughter.

“

You can't be serious in front of you!" Holkina gave me a blank look.

"Dad, mom said we are not good, so you won't go back." Wapoly said in a vague way, and the little guy said while kissing me hard on my face.

After the two kids made such a fuss, my mood suddenly improved. I hugged my sons and felt happy.

"Dad is busy making movies. When you encounter difficulties, sons." I sat on the ground, looking at my two sons who were like jade carvings, and couldn't stop smiling.

"Dad, when I grow up and make movies for you, you won't be tired." Yagalo looked at me with big watery eyes, then turned to look at the information that was placed beside me.

These colorful things quickly attracted their attention. The two guys didn't care about me anymore, so they simply turned around and fiddled with the information.

I don't care about them and let them play.

"I called Gans and said you haven't gone out anywhere these two days and are all here." While complaining to me, Holkina opened the basket she brought with her. The exquisite snacks and wine inside made my eyes shine like hungry.

I grabbed it and ate it while chatting with the two of them in a slight manner. In the originally empty information room, the laughter and joy of the whole family were soon heard.

"Dad, who are these?" Just as I reached into Holgina and Natalia's clothes, Yagelo and Vapori ran over with a book.

I had to pull out my hand and get the book out. It was obvious that it was published decades ago. The version was pretty good, with yellow pages, but the illustrations inside were all painted in color. Although it has been so many years, it is still bright.

On the picture, there are teams of medieval soldiers holding crosses and weapons high, majestic. Of course, you can also see Muslims waving a scimitar. Such a book, held in their hands, seemed to sound a fight in their ears!

I looked through the cover of this book, and there was only one line of bold words: Crusades.

For a moment, I felt as if I was struck by lightning, stunned.

Can't such a subject be filmed into a movie that Coolidge and I discussed with that theme!?

The stories about protection and persistence born on foreign lands, and even about faith, such a subject is not only in line with Coolidge and me, but even because of the profound historical and cultural factors, it has increased a lot of added value!

OK! Such a subject is great!

Holding that book, I suddenly became excited.

"Dad, who are these people?" Yagalo asked, holding my thighs and holding my little head.

"This is a group of people who protect their faith but were abandoned in the end." Looking at the book, I touched my son's head, and then I picked up the telephone number next to me: "Gans, call everyone to my office for a meeting!"

On the other side of the phone, Gans was so happy that he knew that the script must be full of clues.

Soon, in the company, all the people arrived.

I walked into the office with my two sons in my arms and placed the book on the coffee table.

A group of people immediately gathered around and picked up the book.

"Crusade!" Griffith looked at this book and his eyes immediately shone!

The old man has always liked big topics, especially the historic and magnificent ones. Such a topic completely grasped his nerves.

"Crusade!?" The other people's reactions were all kinds, with confusion and doubt.

"Boss, you want to shoot the Crusades!?" Stiller looked at the expression on my face and was confused.

"Boss, does this have anything to do with the topic you are talking about?" Antonioni also asked.

Not only them, but other guys have such questions. In their opinion, such a story is completely different from the theme I mentioned before, and it is completely incompatible with each other.

"You guys! Such a subject is so tempting! History, war, human nature... whatever you want is there, this is a treasure! Treasure! Boss, just shoot this! That's it!" Griffith obviously likes this subject very much!

"This subject is very good. Maybe in your opinion, it has nothing to do with our theme, but you must understand that these knights of the Crusaders protect Jerusalem just as we protect Hollywood and the values ​​of freedom and justice. In history, the so-called Crusades ended up tragic. This is also very close to our theme. Everyone, I want to use this background. I want to use such a story, a magnificent story, and tell a story about persistence!"

I stood up and raised my hand high.

"Boss! I support you! This time, take my old bones into battle!" Griffith was extremely excited.

"Boss! Add me!"

"Add me!"

...

All the people were in high spirits.

Many people have guessed this new movie. Haha. It’s so awesome!
Chapter completed!
