    The day after the awards ceremony, most of the other creative staff of the "ET" crew returned to Hong Kong and Taiwan, with only a few two or three staying in the United States for travel.

    Wang Zijun did not go back immediately, because at the Oscar dinner, Spielberg invited Wang Zijun to his home.  He had no reason to refuse, not to mention that Spielberg said it was about the movie.  text/text

    "Oh, it's Zachary, please come in!" It was Spielberg himself who opened the door.  However, this great bearded director had a cloth bag hanging in his arms at this time, holding his youngest son Max Samuel in his arm, and holding a bottle of milk in his hand.

    Wang Zijun walked into the room and praised Spielberg's son by the way, saying: "A very handsome little guy, born with the appearance of a great director."

    "Haha, you really know how to joke." Spielberg laughed happily, "You can sit wherever you want."

    Spielberg's wife came over with a cup of coffee and handed it to Wang Zijun, then stretched out her hand and said: "You are very welcome to be our guest, Mr. Wang."

    "Amy Irwin, my wife." Spielberg introduced.

    "Nice to meet you, Ms. Irwin." Wang Zijun shook hands with her and couldn't help but take a closer look.

    Spielberg¡¯s wife is the same age as Wang Zijun, but like most Westerners, Amy Irwin has begun to age and lose shape.  The contours of her face are beautiful, but the skin on her face is quite rough, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes cannot be covered up with makeup.

    This woman is not a simple woman. She fascinated Spielberg ten years ago.  After the two broke up a few years ago, Spielberg, who had always been timid and loyal to women, fell out of control.  She changes women like a revolving door, and in the past few years, she has definitely slept with a lot more female stars than Wang Zijun.

    Until two years ago, Amy Irwin, who had already had several men, may have had enough fun. The two reunited, gave birth to a son last summer, and officially got married in the winter.

    At the moment, the two of them seem to be having a good time, but as far as Wang Zijun knows, they are still in trouble.  They will get divorced in two or three years, and Spielberg will have to pay $100 million in alimony.

    The main reason for the breakup was that Steven Spielberg's heart had gone wild in the past two years.  It is not easy to let go of a horse and then tie it back again.

    ¡°Any other woman might turn a blind eye because of Spielberg¡¯s status and money, but Amy Irwin would not.  It was she who took the initiative to dump Spielberg.  Although Amy has always been a small actor, her father, Jules Irwin, has served as the president of the Los Angeles Actors Guild and the Lincoln Center in New York.

    Yang theater director, and her mother Plessilla Point is also a celebrity in the circle. Would a woman who grew up in such a family accommodate Spielberg?

    After making coffee for Wang Zijun, Amy Irwin did not leave like an ordinary housewife and let her husband talk to the guests. Instead, she sat on the sofa and chatted about movies with Wang Zijun.

    As for Spielberg, he concentrates on being a n¨£i dad. He has been feeding his son n¨£i from a n¨£i bottle, and only occasionally interjects a sentence.

    Until the n¨£i is finished feeding.  Spielberg just handed his son into the hands of his wife, took out a script and said, "Zachary, I wonder if you are interested in this?"

    Wang Zijun took the script and looked at it. The corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily. The name of the script was: "Schindler's Ark".  It was later known as "Schindler's List".

    Just when Wang Zijun was flipping the script, Spielberg introduced: "This is a story about a German entrepreneur who saves Jews from the Nazi butcher knife"

    "I know," Wang Zijun interrupted, "I respect you."

    Spielberg said: "Currently, I have the film copyright of this novel. I wonder if you, Zachary, would be interested in directing this film?"

    "Why me?" Wang Zijun asked strangely, "I am a Chinese. And you and your wife are both Jewish. I think it is more suitable for you to direct."

    Spielberg rubbed his face and said, "To be honest, I don't have the confidence to control this movie. It's too heavy."

    Wang Zijun frowned and said, "Then you can also find other Jewish directors."

    Spielberg said: "Since Mr. Schinborg bought the film rights to me four years ago, I have approached several directors, including Scorsese, Wilder and Roman  Polanski, they all think this is a good script, but no one is willing to take over it. I think, as an Oriental, you should be more objective in directing this film, and you have successfully directed the highest-grossing "Titanic" in history.  "No." can completely control the big scenes in "Schindler's Ark."

    Why didn¡¯t Spielberg want to film it?  Because "Schindler's List" is so hot, if you want to shoot it well, you have to be??Production, but who can guarantee that this heavy historical pseudo-documentary type of movie can hit the box office?

    Look at who Spielberg was looking for earlier?

    Martin Scorsese, Oscar and Golden Globe Best Director, Cannes Palme d'Or, Berlin Golden Bear Winner, world-class film master.

    ?? Ratio Wilder has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director eight times and won the Academy Award for Best Director twice. He is the first person to win three consecutive trophies at the same Academy Awards.

    As for Roman Polanski, well, although this director is not as influential as the above two, he escaped from a Nazi concentration camp, and his personal experience is enough to make him more qualified to direct this masterpiece.

    If a director wants to make a movie with such a theme, he must first get into the role. A director who is not very nervous may collapse after filming.  Who wants to do a thankless job?

    For Spielberg, more importantly, no film company is willing to give him enough investment, because it is really unrealistic for this film to recover the cost.

    Wang Zijun threw the script on the coffee table and said: "Sorry, Stephen, if I want to make the same type of movie, then I will make "Massacre of Nanjing" instead of "Schindler's Ark."

    Spielberg nodded and said: "Oh, the Nanjing Massacre, I know this. I was watching about China recently.

    Information about the war.  "

    "You're looking at it

    Information about i war?  "Wang Zijun suddenly remembered "Empire of the Sun", which was reviled by countless angry Chinese youths in later generations.

    The beautification of the i army and the vilification of the Chinese people have become strong "evidence" that Spielberg has insulted China.

    "Yes," Spielberg nodded, "I am planning to make a war humanistic film adapted from Mr. Badla's "Empire of the Sun". I will go to southern China for filming in the second half of the year."

    Wang Zijun asked: "Can I read the script?"

    "Of course." Spielberg nodded and went back to the study to take out another script.

    Wang Zijun read the literary script of "Empire of the Sun" and some of Spielberg's unfinished director's script.  The content of the script is a bit more than that of the "Empire of the Sun" movie, but it's roughly the same.

    Wang Zijun read it for a full hour before closing the script and saying, "It's a very good script."

    Spielberg laughed and said: "I think so too, after all, it is adapted from his own real experience."

    Wang Zijun sneered: "If I have a chance to meet him, I will ask him, is his true experience that there are no good people in China? The original work of "Empire of the Sun" is a little more reliable, this shit movie script, the ending  It was actually a group of American soldiers who came to China to rescue prisoners of war. The funniest thing is,

    When the i army marched into Shanghai, they did not kill a single Chinese indiscriminately. The only Chinese civilian who died was accidentally killed by a stray bullet from the Chinese guerrillas.  "

    "Uh" Spielberg was at a loss for words.  The accidental killing of civilians by the Chinese guerrillas was not written in Badla's script, but was added by Spielberg in the director's storyboard, mainly to show the cruelty and injustice of war. I didn't expect that it would be interpreted this way by Wang Zijun.

    Wang Zijun sneered: "The Nazis are included in the script

    The i army has been beautified enough, but the Chinese people who were invaded all turned into bad guys.  "

    Spielberg shrugged and said: "Wang, I think you are a little too sensitive. Neither the screenwriter nor I had that intention. The script and novel are indeed adapted from Mr. Badla's real experience. I believe that he  I will be objective when writing a script and will not deliberately embellish it.

    i army.  "

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "Perhaps everything in this script is true. But don't forget that Mr. Badela was just a British young master who didn't understand anything. The war in his eyes may not be that at all."

    Spielberg explained: "I just want to look at the war from a child's perspective, which will make everything simpler and purer."

    "I think we are looking at China from a Western perspective.

    i war.  Wang Zijun sarcastically said: "Why do I say that?"  Because Mr. Badla was an ignorant rich young man before the war.  What he saw was only part of the war.  If he hadn't been caught in a concentration camp, the entire war would have been irrelevant to him.  This is understandable. You cannot ask a British person to love China.  However, I very much doubt that when you were writing the script, in order to consider

    i book box office and deliberately avoid performance

    The brutal footage of the i army.  The entire movie will mislead Western audiences who do not understand the truth, that is

    The i army was brave and clear in rewards and punishments, unlike the NazisShe looks as pure as an angel.  In fact, the Nazis

    The i army is no different from the german army.  "

    Spielberg frowned. He directly regarded Wang Zijun as a nationalist, and he was still very fanatical.  He doesn't have a good impression of the Chinese, but he doesn't have any bad feelings either. That distant country is none of his business. Regarding such a movie, Spielberg completely approached it from an artistic point of view, thinking how to easily express the director's intention and how to shoot it.

    Wang Zijun said: "Stephen, I think "Schindler's Ark" is more suitable for you. As for this "Empire of the Sun", I also regret that after it was filmed, I refused to enter the cinema. Of course, you don't have to consider the Chinese market at all.  "

    Spielberg said helplessly: "Wang, I think you should calm down. This is just a movie."

    Wang Zijun said: "But if you let me watch this movie, it will be as disgusting as letting a Muslim eat pork."

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    Stop updating for a few days, I admit my guilt, don¡¯t be too harsh.

    As for the reason for discontinuing updates, I won¡¯t tell you. You wouldn¡¯t believe me even if I told you. It¡¯s too bizarre.
