The launch of the Celestial Kingdom caused a stir, and the film T caused widespread controversy.

There are many controversial topics, except for the collective participation of 30 million Mei, director Andre Corleon, etc., the most intense controversy caused by this movie after its appearance was the content of the movie.

At the press conference, I roughly introduced the main content of the film's reaction, and then various media reported on a large scale on the content of "The Kingdom of Heaven", which led to different ideas about such topics.

"It's certain that this movie will be popular! I personally think that among all the directors in Hollywood, Mr. Corleon is the best person to choose materials. With such a subject, coupled with Mr. Corleon's skills, no one doubts that it will become a classic! For a director, for a movie, although the level of the shooting staff determines the excellence of the movie to a large extent, the subject matter is also the key."

"From the current situation, "Chen Dynasty Kingdom" itself gathers the focus of almost all scripts in the movie. This movie will usher in glory, but the question now is what impact will this movie have after it comes out."

"Mr. Corleon's influence in Hollywood is unquestionable, and his position in the minds of the American people is also irreplaceable. However, the sensitivity of this film's theme may have a significant impact on Mr. Corleon. Religious themes are generally taboos for Hollywood filmmakers, although Mr. Corleon's previous "The Passion of Jesus" has become a classic and has destroyed the thousand-year-old myth of the Vatican Church.

But this movie is completely different from "The Passion of Jesus". "The Passion of Jesus" is completely showing and celebrating, and the content of this movie is a huge conflict. The specific process of the story of the Crusades is extremely clear. The conflict between Christian believers and Muslims has a long history, and even now, there are still huge contradictions."

"In a movie, it involves such a race that is completely opposite in terms of concepts and religious beliefs. How can audiences who believe in these two religions be satisfied at the same time? This is almost an impossible problem. If they are not done well, there will be a big mess. I recognize Mr. Corleon's ability, but I want to say that this movie is a sturdy double-edged sword."

This comment published by Hitchcock in the Los Angeles Times basically represents the views of Hollywood filmmakers. Many people are excited and deeply worried when facing such news.

And because of the religious nature in this movie, various religious groups have also spoken out. Pope Maria I firmly stood up and insisted on me.

"I trust Mr. Corleon, just as I trust God. As the conscience of the American public and society, as a film master who has created countless classics, I think that on this question, he will definitely deliver an answer that satisfies everyone. I think what we have to do is support, no matter in any aspect, as long as we can help. The original denomination will firmly support Mr. Corleon, and God bless him."

As the most influential sect in the United States, Maria I dialect has aroused enthusiastic praise from the majority of believers.

At the same time, religious groups in other places, especially Muslim organizations in many places, have also expressed their opinions with the help of the media.

"In European culture, we Muslims have been evil! They look at us with tinted glasses. This is unfair. We also believe in our faith. We also have heroes. I sincerely hope that this movie in Mr. Corleone can justify us!"

Although some of the Muslims are worried that this movie will become a movie that is so evil that it is emerging from Europe. However, they are in trust in me. Most of them still firmly support it.

Under such an environment, "Celestial Kingdom" began a series of preparations.

Investing $30 million has already made the film showcase Hollywood's top things in every aspect.

After determining a series of candidates for the film's deputy director, photographer, composer and other candidates, the specific planning of the film's actors became the most important thing.

Because Hollywood has achieved a unified major alliance, various film companies have very support for this movie, so that I can call my favorite actors among major Hollywood film companies.

In addition to the actors in DreamWorks, I also recruited celebrities from other film companies. Actors like Clark Gable and Fei Li were not missed. This made the whole movie shine brightly. In the end, a small supporting actor in the movie who appeared for only five seconds was a star.

This makes this movie called "the first true 'Hollywood movie'!"

It took me nearly a week to arrange specific personnel, and during this period, a lot of work has begun to progress.

First, we decided the filming location of the movie. There are two completely opposite views on this issue. A group of people represented by Griffiths believed that since this movie shows the Crusades, it is necessary to shoot it on the original site and to shoot an authentic Jerusalem. Therefore, the crew must go to Jerusalem to film on the spot.

However, another group of people represented by Stiller believed that this would not only be very annoying, but also cost a lot of expenses. Stiller believed that the shooting of this movie should be filmed in Mexico like "The Passion of Jesus", which would be very close to the United States, which would be beneficial to the work of various institutions, and it would be very convenient to shoot, and the effect would be very good. When filming "The Passion of Jesus", the audience did not think that the movie was not the real Jerusalem while watching the movie.

"Boss, there is another problem. You know, Jerusalem is very chaotic now, basically in anarchy. In this place, there are Jews, Muslims, Orthodox, Protestants, Christians, etc. If you shoot there, once there is any conflict, it will lead to huge consequences. It is different to shoot in Mexico, and there is no problem at all."

Stiller's suggestion convinced almost everyone in the end, but he did not convince me.

Yes, his opinions are all

Right. Shooting in Mexico will bring many benefits, and 7 is safer and costs less, but this time, deep in my heart, there is always a special excitement.

When filming "The Passion of Jerusalem", I felt a little regretful that I did not shoot in the real city of Jerusalem. What kind of scene would it be if such a sacred city were displayed in the movie!

As a movie, it has never appeared in Hollywood that the real Jerusalem name can be moved to the screen. This time, it is better to just create a record. I also have a selfish intention, that is, I must see with my own eyes what kind of place Jerusalem, known as the holy city of the Three Churches.

So, in the end, I decided to complete the filming work this time in Jerusalem, and the crew rushed to Jerusalem.

While such a decision shocked DreamWorks and Hollywood, it also caused a huge response in society. No matter what believer it is, the name Jerusalem is extremely sacred in their minds. Most people will never see this place in their lifetime, but now, in movies, who can't cheer for it?

After deciding to shoot in Jerusalem, the most critical work next was naturally to get in touch with the other side. As a result, this connection made me deeply realize the complex situation in Jerusalem in 1933.

Before World War I, Jerusalem was controlled by Turkey. In 1917, the British commander-in-chief of the Middle East, Alanby, led his troops to attack the city and occupied him. The League of Nations later approved the Belfort Declaration in 1922, entrusting the UK with the management of Palestine, including Jerusalem, and helping them establish a Jewish state there.

However, most of the people living in this place were Arabs. As Jewish immigrants increased, the conflicts between the two sides gradually escalated, which made the British rule very fragile.

Jerusalem is now fully nourished with Jerusalem in later generations. The Arabs occupy absolute control. Although the Jews are not large in number, they still enjoy a high degree of autonomy. Although the UK has a management title, it can only maintain a balance between various groups. So to put it bluntly, this place is now an anarchic region.

Before we go abroad to shoot movies, we must first report to the local government, because only by doing this can we obtain support during filming. For a crew, such support is very critical.

But this time we encountered some trouble with such things. Because the management of Jerusalem was British, we first sent a letter to the British government. After receiving our message, King George V of England ordered the British management door in Jerusalem to support the shooting of DreamWorks at all costs. Old George never had any support for me.

Originally we meant that was done. As a result, the local British administration also required that we should be able to express the same kindness to the management of various local autonomous regions with power.

In this way, we had to deal with dozens of organizations, big and small, according to the list provided to us by the British, and things became very cumbersome.

Fortunately, these groups support us very much. Because of the relationship between "The Passion of Jerusalem", the local Jewish sects have a good impression of us. This time I heard that I was going to shoot the Crusades, and I even expressed my strong support.

As for the Arabs, although they have some concerns, they have expressed their trust in us and will provide support according to the specific circumstances during the shooting.

All other groups have basically expressed goodwill. Of course, some groups are very dissatisfied with us.

For example, some Christian groups closely linked to the Vatican Church believe that this movie will definitely distort the Crusaders, so they do not recognize our shooting activities.

But overall, support is the majority. Under such circumstances, a large army led by Griffiths went to Jerusalem in a mighty manner. They were responsible for the crew's main props, costumes and other shooting tools. In addition, because of the shooting needs, they must build a city similar to Jerusalem with the help of the local government. Because there are tragic siege scenes in the movie, we can't shoot in the city of Jerusalem.

Following closely behind, Stiller, Bresson and Antonioni also led the crew to Jerusalem. They will live in Jerusalem for a period of time before filming, and experience the local life and the long history and culture of the land.

In early July, I finally set out to the city that I dreamed of.

From Los Angeles to New York, from New York to the UK, from Britain to Germany, and finally flying across the Mediterranean to the Middle East.

This is a long journey. Even if we have this advanced means of transportation, we still feel that hell is too far away. However, along the way, we have enjoyed the customs and customs of all places.

In the UK, I was received by George V. As an old friend, this meeting made us extremely happy. However, compared to the last time I saw him, George was not as good as before. Even he himself said that he probably wouldn't live for a few years, which made me feel very sad.

When we arrived in Germany, the situation was even more different. In this country, we were treated at the highest level. Wherever we went, the German people surrounded and cheered. Although they stayed in Germany for a short time, what I saw was a country that was very different from before. Under the management of the beard, this country was like a tight machine, maintaining high speed, and exuding jaw-dropping creativity.

However, because of the German-American Association, the meeting between Xiaomai and me was somewhat awkward. Xiaomai apologized to me about this matter. He said that in many cases, he first considered the interests of the country, so he had to finally compromise with the federal government. Xiaomai felt very sorry for Germany's debt to DreamWorks.

And I laughed at his apology. There was no question of who was right or wrong in this matter.

I was so excited along the way that we landed in Tel Aviv, one of the largest cities in the entire Palestinian region.

Although it is the largest city, it is obviously incomparable to Los Angeles. Local British management and community representatives came to greet us, and when we entered the city

Looking at it, it was a bleak state. Although it was really July, there was no TT. What was in sight was the vast Gobi desert, full of yellowish color. Local houses were basically made of granite, almost maintaining a tone. Even some new buildings seemed inconsistent in such an environment.

Our original plan was to fly directly to Jerusalem. But after arriving in Tel Aviv, I changed my original idea and decided to take a bus from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Although the journey was not close, I could at least fully understand such a land along the way. Moreover, the route we chose was the route that the Crusaders entered Jerusalem after they arrived in the Middle East. In this way, we could also feel the mood of the Crusaders at that time.

Our convoy set out from Tel Aviv in a mighty manner and galloped towards Jerusalem. The British attached great importance to our Hubei security and specially sent an army to escort it. According to them, the local area is very unsafe, and there are often robbery, killing and robbing people. It can be seen that this land has never been quiet since ancient times, and it is a land of suffering.

From Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, I passed many places along the way, and there were many famous historical cities in the middle. What I saw was basically the same scene: the Gobi Desert, caravans holding camels and horses seemed to have come from history. Hundreds of years ago, people might have bought and sold like this. Locals in long robes, Muslims kneeling on the ground praying collectively, priests holding crosses, children running barefoot, tall palm trees, flocks of sheep, and music full of the same charm...

If you didn’t see it with your own eyes, you really don’t believe that there is such a place in the world, a place that makes you cry after a glance.

After passing Ramla, the convoy was moving forward. I was a little unacceptable to the local conditions and vomited and had diarrhea. I sat in the seat of the car and felt sleepy. One day, at about six or seven o'clock in the morning, the sun had not yet risen, and the east had just revealed the whiteness of fish belly, and I heard cheers coming from outside.

"Jerusalem!" "Jerusalem!"

"Jerusalem!"……

The cheers woke me up from my sleep.

I climbed out of the car to open the door, and a cool wind mixed with the smell of earth blew towards me, causing me to stagger.

When I staggered up to a high slope, a big city suddenly appeared in front of me!

The buildings that are stretched out are densely packed, far from the same as those cities I have seen along the way. They are still granite buildings, which bring out a heavy sense of history, which is the trace of the knocking of time. The dome of the mosque is slight in the morning light, and you can also see crosses towering on the roof in the distance. Groups of white birds circling over the city, flowing clouds flowing over the sky, and the fog that evaporates from the city, making this huge city more mysterious and ethereal!

Someone prayed in the wilderness, and there were faint sounds of prayer and chanting!

This is the holy city of Jerusalem! The place where the ark of the covenant was once placed, and the place where a huge temple was once built!

This is the Kingdom of the Celestial Empire! This is the center of the world!

Another gust of wind blew, and I staggered to my knees.

And behind me, there were already people kneeling down.

Although Christians in the world think that the Holy City is the Vatican, in our hearts, Jerusalem is the real Holy City, which is the place where God and the world agree.

"Boss, it's so beautiful! If such a place appears in the camera, it will be so charming!" The person behind him sighed.

When we entered the area of ​​Jerusalem, we were greeted immediately. Griffith and others who had arrived earlier came to greet us, led the local management and the power of various societies. Our convoy entered the city of Jerusalem, and the first thing I did was to go to the famous Wailing Wall.

Because of our arrival, Jerusalem was in full swing. In the old city, the local government held a grand welcome ceremony for us. Such a welcome ceremony is definitely the most sacred of all the welcome ceremonies I have ever seen.

Judaism prayed with their unique prayer scarves, Christianity held the cross, and Muslims sang together. Petals were falling down over the entire old city. Facing such a scene and facing this vicissitudes of the old city, everyone was trembling violently.

Standing in the old city, my mind was full of imagination. Just here, just under my feet, in the Hebrew word, Solomon once established the most sacred temple of Judaism, which was also the holy place of the primitive sect. In this place, the prophet Jehovah suffered and resurrected, and in this place, the prophet Mohammed of Islam walked at night and climbed up the night. What a sacred place.

Also on this land, the temple was demolished and covered. The entire city was buried again and again in the fires, but it rose again and again. The Saracens, Greeks, Syrians, Orthodox people, Armenians, Georgians, Jews, Bedouin people... Each nation lives here. Roman army, Egyptian army, Khwarezm, European Crusaders... One army once fought for faith here, the war was everywhere, and the shouts of killing were deafening. This was once a river of blood, and corpses were piled up like mountains!

No city in the world has the situation like Jerusalem. This is a unique city!

And now we stand on its land, on this land soaked in blood and prayer!

Suddenly, my heart felt warm, and that feeling was exactly the same as when I was the high priest leading me to kneel under the ark of the covenant in that sacred church!

Jerusalem, the Immortal City, here we are going to complete the largest movie ever made in Hollywood!

I am full of expectations!

Some people say why it is "Celestial Kingdom" rather than "Celestial Kingdom".

Haha, just think about it and you will naturally understand what the difference is.

At the end of the month, Xiao Zhang lost money and asked for a big monthly ticket! (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, Www.su8.. More chapters, support writing, support bookmaking!)
