Chapter 1306 "The Kingdom of Heaven" is finished!(1/2)
A fire made Jerusalem, a city known as the holy city, instantly a world full of noisy. Novel website provides mobile electronic downloads for those Christians, this day can definitely be said to be their day of disaster. The holy land in their minds collapsed. This magnificent cathedral, the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral, which is called "the church in the church" in Christian history, turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
As the bishop of Christianity in Jerusalem, Gonzaray obviously could not accept such facts. He sat in a mess in front of the ruins of the cathedral and cried loudly, with a very lonely expression.
The fat man said to him just now made the bishop suddenly stop crying. For a moment, he seemed to understand something, but his expression told me that he seemed to be a little unbelievable in his inferences, unbelievable in the facts in front of him, and unbelievable that all this was really from God's punishment.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe that God will strike the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre! This is the Holy Sepulchre! This is the Lord's burial place!" Gonzare suddenly stood up and shouted like a madman, feeling very excited.
His voice also calmed down all the Christians who were putting out fires around them. These people looked at their bishops and then at the burning church, and they were all silent.
They didn't think so much like Gonzare. After all, all this life was so hard to believe. In the originally clear weather, there was a strange thunderstorm, and the thunder and lightning were impartially and happened to make the Holy Sepulchre disappear into a sea of fire after Gonzare said that.
No one thinks that such a thing was born by chance, especially in a place like Jerusalem where the religious atmosphere is extremely strong. Many Christians look at Gonzare with great distrust and even anger in their eyes.
They had doubts about the bishop, and some had even become angry. Perhaps they believed that if Gonzaray had worked with us, if he had not said that, such a thing might not have happened at all.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
"Gonzaray! You are still stubborn at this time! Don't forget that the Lord you believe in is actually just a prophet. He is not God. What's wrong with God bringing lightning!" The fat man roared loudly.
This voice completely made Gonzare fall completely. After that religious change, the Vatican church's influence dropped greatly worldwide, and the debate about Jeremy being a prophet rather than God has gained a lot of support worldwide. Most importantly, the facts in front of us, can be explained in the words of Fatty.
"It must be you! It must be you! It must be you who made people set fire!" After a while of silence, Gonzaray suddenly turned around and rushed towards me, looking very crazy. Standing next to me, Darren and others, how could he get close to me? When he was still more than ten steps away from me, he stopped him suddenly.
"Andre Corleon. You must have made up the church set fire. Then you made up the church in the Holy Sepulchre and lie to the lightning! You will go to hell! You will go to hell!" Although Gonzare was subdued, he was still struggling hard, roaring like a vicious dog and panting.
All the Christians next to them were stunned. No one would have thought that the landbishop would become like this when he was gentle and sacred.
"Darren. You let him go." I waved at Darren Oliver and the others.
"Boss, what if he uses force against you?" Darren was worried about me to comfort me.
But I laughed: "It's okay. Let him go."
Darren ordered people to let Gonzaray go. I walked up to Gonzaray, looked at the muddy bishop, and shook my head.
"Bithale Gonzaray, your accusation against me will only aggravate your sins. You know better than anyone else how this church was buried in the fire, and so many people present have seen the moment when the lightning strikes the church and caused the fire. What you have to do now is to confess to God, rather than barking like a dog."
After saying that, I turned around and looked at the Christians around me, feeling that some things must be explained clearly to them. I climbed to the base of a statue and pointed to the church and said, "Why did the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral be buried in the sea of fire? Many of you have seen it. Archbishop Gonzare said just now that I sent someone to set the fire. I think you should have a judgment on such accusation. What I want to say is that I came here and came to the Holy City with a heart, and the purpose was to shoot a movie. You stopped me before, and I respect your faith and your wishes. We will take the crew away from this place tomorrow, and I hope you take care of it."
After saying this, I jumped down and left the place with the crew.
Behind me, the fire was still burning, the flames were whistling in the wind, and Gonzaray's cry could still be heard.
This night, I couldn't sleep all night. I lay in the tent, thinking about the things I had just had, my mind was clear, and I knew that it was dark, so I fell asleep.
When I was woken up, it was almost twelve o'clock noon. When the fat man walked in and pulled my quilt open, I was still having a beautiful dream. In the dream, I directed the crew to start the filming smoothly, and the filming went very smoothly. "The Kingdom of Heaven" also launched a grand release and achieved brilliant success. Flowers fell from the sky and cheering crowds were everywhere.
When I opened my eyes, I found a very big face of the fat man.
"Boss! Get up quickly! Get up quickly!" Although it was November, the fat man's face was covered with sweat.
"What's wrong?" I got up from the bed with fluffy eyes and rubbed my eyes: "Fatty, didn't I ask you to prepare for the crew to evacuate last night? What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
"Big trouble! Big trouble!" The fat man sat on my bed, and my camp bed suddenly shook violently and moaned in pain.
"Big trouble?" My spirit suddenly woke up, but looking at the smiling expression on the fat man's face, I began to mutter: "Fat man, I'm not in the mood to joke with you now, saying, what's going on? Did we encounter something when we evacuated?"
"Yes, it's just that I'm going to encounter something when I evacuated." The fat man nodded, and at the same time
I couldn't help laughing.
"It's impossible. These guys didn't let us go to Jerusalem to shoot those twenty or so shots, but now we won't take pictures of them. What do they have to do when they go home?" I felt dizzy.
"Boss, our team was stopped by them and we didn't let us go at all." At this time, Stiller also walked in from outside, and Griffith, Antonioni and others followed behind, with almost everyone's faces smiling.
This smile made me feel that this matter was not that simple.
"Stopped? They won't let us leave!" I quickly uploaded my clothes.
"The Jerusalem people intercepted the convoy we had set off before outside the city. They did not let us leave, and they called for a name to see you." The fat man threw the tie to me, and I took it, tied it around, and walked out of the tent.
As soon as I came out, my eyes were flashed by the strong sunlight. Although it was thunder and raining last night, today was a sunny day.
I took a deep breath of fresh air, then jumped into the car: "Let's go, let's take a look."
Our convoy galloped towards the south of Jerusalem, where we must leave. It was not too late, and I saw a crowd of black people from afar. Several trucks of the crew were stopped there and could not move at all.
During this journey, Fatty and the others told me what happened this morning, which made me very shocked after hearing this.
Last night, not only did we spend a sleepless night, but also a sleepless night in Jerusalem. In this city, whether it is Christians, Jews or Muslims, there is a saying that last night, a miracle appeared proudly, and the dome of Our Lady Cathedral was destroyed, and it was obvious that God was wrathing.
The people of Jerusalem have always been pious, no matter which sect or the nation. In this matter, their attitudes are basically the same.
The Jews secretly thanked that they gathered together and were happy for their Elder Abraham's wise move to support our crew's filming work. They felt that they would have been punished like this. Although Muslims were on the sidelines and had different beliefs, their idea in this matter was that the crew of DreamWorks seemed to be favored by God. Muslims should not oppose the crew, but should cooperate with DreamWorks, because this may be the will of the great Allah.
Among all, the hardest days are probably those Christians. Gonzaleigh said wildly before, but this time he received a complete punishment. The destruction of the Holy Sepulchre Cathedral not only greatly reduced the prestige of Christianity in Jerusalem, but also made it a problem for them to gain a foothold in this city. Those Christians had previously stood up to attack us, but now many people sneaked into the synagogue to repent, for fear that they would also be punished.
As a result, the atmosphere in Jerusalem changed suddenly, and some people were panicked. This situation eventually forced the local British government to come forward.
In the past, the British had always been very taboo about these religious matters. They have managed this place for so many years and naturally understood that if they want these people to be stable and their rule is stable, they must not touch on things related to religion. But this time, the situation is different. Now the whole of Jerusalem is extremely uneasy, and maybe they will explode at any time.
Under such circumstances, the British government gathered all the leaders of all sects together and held a meeting to discuss what happened last night.
As a result, the conference was extremely popular, and leaders of various factions almost started fighting in the venue. The Judaism elders angrily accused Gonzaray and others of trying to provoke trouble. The Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre was destroyed by lightning, which was completely God's punishment. In this matter, Gonzaray and others should learn from the lessons and actively cooperate with the DreamWorks crew.
As a result, Gonzaray and others immediately fought back. They believed that the fire yesterday was not because of lightning, but because someone in the DreamWorks crew set fire. The British government was very troubled by their statement. They knew that Gonzaray and his group were not easy to mess with, and that our DreamWorks were even worse. Without evidence, this was obviously a false accusation against us, so the British asked Gonzaray to hand over the evidence. As a result, the group insisted that they saw with their own eyes that there were no other witnesses who set the fire, which made many people angry.
In the end, even the leaders of the Muslims couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and accused Gonzare of doing something wrong but unwilling to take responsibility, and intended to shirk it. At this meeting, the Muslims decided that they would support the shooting of the DreamWorks crew and cooperate fully.
"Just like the thunderstorm last night, maybe this is really God's will." The Muslims' statement was recognized by Judaism leaders.
In this way, only Gonzaray and others were left with stubborn resistance, and they were unwilling to let go of their original principles. Originally, many people thought that this meeting would definitely not reach a common agreement, but later, dramatic changes occurred.
Many Christians gathered outside the venue, shouting slogans that Gonzaray must agree to work with the DreamWorks crew.
"For your stupidity, we have been punished by God! This time, it's time for us to atone for our sins!"
"Work with DreamWorks! This is God's will!"
"Cooperate! We don't look like we are seeing the second church turn into ruins!"
...
The more and more Christians gather, it is becoming more and more difficult to control, and conflicts may occur at any time. Under such circumstances, the British also became surprisingly tough. They told Gonzaray and others that if they were still unwilling to cooperate with the DreamWorks crew in such a state, in order to maintain the stability of Jerusalem, they would have to expel Gonzaray and others.
This statement from the British immediately scared Gonzaray and others. You should know that for the Vatican Church, they valued the most not the happiness of believers, but the territory. As long as they had territory, they had influence, wealth and honor. In contrast, for a bishop, the amount of land he had mastered directly affected his status in the Vatican.
The city of Jerusalem is very special in Christianity, so
The bishop who mastered this city obviously achieved a lot of 7 compared to others. It is also the most proud part of Gonzaray. But now, the British government wants to drive them away, which is definitely the biggest disaster for them. In that case, Gonzaray is not much different from a stray dog.
Therefore, with Christians outside and the British government being forced by the British government, Gonzaray finally had to agree to the proposal to cooperate with the DreamWorks crew.
As soon as the news came out, the whole of Jerusalem cheered.
Next, there was a scene where our convoy was about to leave and was stopped.
When I arrived at the convoy, the Jerusalem people recognized my car from a distance. I walked out of the car, and all of them bowed respectfully. After that thunderstorm, their respect for me obviously increased a lot.
I looked at these people, among them, there were Jews, Muslims, and Christians wearing crosses.
"Mr. Corleon, go back and make a movie!"
"Yes, Mr. Corleon, you cannot leave! This is God's will!"
...
Facing these begging people, I was really amused and crying.
"Boss, what should I do now?" Looking at these people, the fat man smiled.
"What else can I do? Of course I'm going back to shoot." I snapped my fingers, then looked up at the sky, and said, "Thank God!"
No matter what others say, I feel that I have really been favored by God in this matter, otherwise we would not have completed the shooting of such a movie in Jerusalem.
So the crew became busy again, and all the items they had packed were removed. The crew began to re-arrange the extras, and at the same time, the city of Jerusalem finally opened its arms to us.
Griffith led a large group of people into the city and began to arrange it in various places.
Because of this series of life, the Jerusalem people attached great importance to our shooting. Needless to say, the extras joined our team, and those Christian churches opened the door to us. Stiller quickly took over and arranged them according to the original design in the movie.
All the work, just preparing, took about two more days. During these two days, the City of Jerusalem gave up almost everything and focused on cooperating with the final twenty shots of the movie.
That solemn atmosphere was obviously something that had never existed before the entire movie. This huge ancient holy city has completely become a different appearance after being arranged, with a conquered look. On the top of the city, there are Muslim crescent flags everywhere, and outside are thousands of troops.
Two days later, after confirming that all preparations were completed, I personally directed it and announced that the last twenty or so shots of the movie began to be filmed.
In the camera, Saladin, the great Muslim hero who completed the government of Jerusalem, brought a large group of people into Jerusalem. On the Christian cathedral, huge crosses were removed and replaced with the crescent moon of the Muslim. The huge cross curtains of the crusaders of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in the palace also fell from a high altitude.
After being occupied by the Crusaders for many years, this city once again returned to the hands of Muslims, like reincarnation.
The Muslims redecorated the holy city according to their plan, but their attitude towards the holy city was different from the previous crusaders. When the crusaders seized Jerusalem from Muslims, they almost massacred all the Jews and Muslims in the city. However, after Saladin captured Jerusalem, they not only did not massacre, but also did not destroy Christian churches.
In the mind of this great hero, it seems that all beliefs are worthy of respect, and there is no distinction between high and low. Everything is just for protection!
The movie was successfully completed after five days of filming!
After the last shot was taken, it was dusk. Looking around, the sky was filled with brilliant fire clouds!
The wind was blowing everywhere, the wind whistled, and a wave of chanting came faintly in the wind.
The ancient city of Jerusalem appears more holy in such light!
At this moment, everyone is filled with happiness in their hearts, whether they are Jews, Christians, or Muslims.
