The newest thing about "People Who Called for Help" is that it only has very few scenes shot in factory sheds. Ninety percent of the shots in the movie are on-site. In addition to the main actors, the actors in it are all extras on the dock. In terms of costumes, they have also changed the gorgeous props and costumes of the past, and directly purchased them from the workers on the dock, achieving an original reaction to reality.

Most of these film concepts come from the historical neorealism ("The People Who Call for Help" was later regarded as the source by neorealist films, and for this reason, some use Grielson's documentary techniques to make the camera look extremely real and infectious.

The modifications I made not only made Stendburg and Stiller (he was fine so he also helped him) admire them, but also made Griffith feel very moved. When the old man saw me, he hugged his head and said that he was old and out of date.

Compared to "Lust and Caution", the progress of this movie is not very fast, but because of my meticulous craftsmanship, Griffith, Stevenberg and Stiller, coupled with excellent photography and performance, this movie is more refined than "Lust and Caution".

If "Lust and Caution" are compared to a variety of dreams, then "People Who Seek Help" is a delicate realistic painting. Both the two movies are completely different in style or technique.

During the time of filming, Thomas Publishing Company told me that "The Montage" sold well and had been translated into German, French, Russian, Slavic and other languages ​​worldwide. Under my strong request, they promised to add a Chinese translation.

In early November, the sales manager of the French company Gormeng Company came to DreamWorks and discussed with me to bring "Lust and Caution" to Europe for release. I readily agreed. On November 8, "Lust and Caution" was screened in the theaters of the company Gormeng Company, causing a movie viewing frenzy in Europe. Although the film shows the stories of Americans, it was greatly welcomed by Europeans. It not only brought new movie viewing habits brought by the audience, but also had a profound impact on European film workers and film theorists.

At this time, the European film industry was in an era when the avant-garde film movement was in turmoil. A large number of young film workers tried to break through the original narrative modes and film language techniques and then create a new way of expression. Therefore, the various innovations in "Lust and Caution" were highly praised. Directors in the Impressionist film genre, such as Durak, Epstein, Lepier, etc. jointly published articles in magazines, claiming that "Lust and Caution" is the creative standard of Impressionist films and highly evaluated it.

In Germany, the expressionist film genre pays more attention to the exploration of the character's nature and the discussion of psychological issues in "Lust and Caution". When watching "Lust and Caution", a master of film, Munau, stood up and called on his friends in the film industry to put the movie in the church. He called "Lust and Caution" the "Great and Caution" to date ", "it represents the highest peak of film art so far."

Also in Germany, "Lust and Caution" was also highly popular among abstractionist film workers. It is the genre that the most important thing in the film genre is to say that the composition of "Lust and Caution" and the expression of lines, volume, and light in the film picture are full of rhythm and rhythm, and is "the outstanding representative of formal films."

Rene Claire, the most famous director of Dadaism, made a declaration on "Lust and Caution" on behalf of Dadaism: "This is a movie that is completely in line with the spirit of Dada. It ignores the deadly and rigid rules and regulations formed in the film industry for decades, dissolves and ridicules them, is full of rebellious spirit, like a blooming flower, showing vitality!"

Andre Breton, the representative of surreal films, also highly praised the pornographic shots and related dream passages in "Lust and Caution". He believed that "Lust and Caution" led the audience to a "poetic realm", and the audience could freely think in the movie without restraint. He called "Lust and Caution" a film that could not be repeated, and its artistic achievements were shocking.

In a very short time, "Lust and Caution" achieved a much bigger, more common and more thorough success in Europe than in the United States. What surprised me was that almost all major film genres have made extremely high evaluations of this movie. French newspaper Le Figaro analyzed this phenomenon: "Since the birth of the movie in France in 1895, no movie in the world has received such widespread praise. Whether it is a film worker with different creative ideas or a film researcher with different opinions, there is only one attitude towards this movie, that is, to regard it as a classic. This phenomenon can only explain one problem: "Lust and Caution" is an extremely great movie, and Mr. Andre Corleone, who created this movie, is undoubtedly a genius director in the film industry!"

Thomas Publishing Group also took this opportunity to fully release "The Montage" in Europe. This book quickly topped the bestseller list. It was not only loved by European film industry, but also praised by ordinary people.

The huge response from Europe was also returned through feedback from domestic media in the United States, making "Lust and Caution" and "Montage" more and more people valued it. Even those who were not paying attention or were not very dissatisfied, gradually began to change their attitudes.

For a time, DreamWorks and my reputation also rose.

When Gao Meng even learned that DreamWorks was filming a new film, he bought the European screening rights for "People Calling for Help" without considering it. Their actions made some films in the United States full of curiosity about this low-key filming.

In mid-November, "Desire" produced by Warner (the original name was not good, so it was changed to this name) was released. The main focus of this movie is erotic shots. Jack Warner and Sam Warner have always been in love with violence and pornographic videos, so there is almost no plot in the whole movie. In the past hour, three-quarters of the time were bed scenes, and the actors were exposed more than "Lust and Caution". As soon as the movie was released, Los Angeles was in an uproar. The audience who bought tickets to the cinema faced the plump breasts and buttocks on the screen, looking at each other.

In the first few days of the screening, the attendance rate in the cinema was very high. Most of them were young and middle-aged men. Later, a considerable number of young people began to rush into the cinema. Hooligans and gangsters even whistled and yelled loudly in the cinema, which was very chaotic.

At first, Warner's senior executives were quite satisfied with the high box office of the movie. Not only did the company hold a celebration meeting, but they also sent red envelopes to the relevant personnel participating in the filming work. However, the riots that appeared in the cinema and the media's criticism of the movie made them feel that things became serious.

Due to the cooperation of the First National Film Company, "Desire" was released at the same time in the theaters of the two companies. Those viewers who have watched "Lust and Caution" have a certain level of appreciation for such subjects. However, as soon as they entered the theater, they found that the movies they saw had no profound connotation. Their parts were filled with body and sexual shots. They shouted that they were fooled and began to reflect.

The Los Angeles Times, Citizens and other newspapers criticized the film severely, among which the accusations of "Perre de Christian" were the most severe. Pizzer personally wrote an article and scolded Liu Bieqian for making such a shameful film, and criticized Warner for not hesitating to destroy the stable environment of the entire society in order to make money.

Afterwards, many directors, such as Kim Victor, Strauheng, Chaplin, etc., also expressed their opinions on different occasions. When they criticized the movie, almost everyone compared it with "Lust and Caution". Grant even cursed "Desire" at a public rally: "If "Lust and Caution" is a crystal clear pearl, then this movie is at most a dung ball from a Western farm with pearls rubbed outside. I reluctantly saw that some companies in Hollywood have no basic public responsibility in order to make money."

People in society, especially those who are parents, took to the streets to protest in an organized manner. Many people even stood at the entrance of the cinema to issue boycotts to those who were preparing to watch the movie, and the situation became increasingly chaotic.
