The Pianist, a classic movie that has been written into textbooks.
Although it has been several years since he first saw The Pianist at Sea, Wang Wei can still clearly remember his grief when he saw the 1900 Virginian being bombed on the sea.
Wang Wei found it difficult to understand 1900's persistence at the time. He felt why 1900 was so stubborn, why he couldn't come down, and why he had to accompany the Virginia to die at sea.
Wang Wei now understands all these questions that he couldn't figure out at the time. Because for 1900, the Virginian represents all the past of 1900, and also represents all the pursuits and ideals of 1900. If the Virginia is blown up, it will destroy all the past and ideals of 1900.
And a person with no future and no past is just a walking corpse even if he is alive. So in the end, 1900 chose to leave this world with the Virginian, a ship that carried his past and ideals.
?? 1900 To do so is to commit martyrdom to its own ideals and the highest standards of the past.
"Compared to 1900, Wang Wei's ideals and his past are the film career that he deeply loves and is engaged in.
A tribute to 1900.
This is Wang Wei¡¯s realization after staying on this modified cruise ship for nearly a month.
On May 10th, the Pianist at Sea, which has been in preparation for nearly two years, was finally launched. Because the previous preparations were very thorough and the most difficult prop problem was solved, the shooting process was relatively simple.
After the Oscar ceremony, Wang Wei disappeared from the world. Apart from his family, only Barry Diller and the film's set designer Lamont knew Wang Wei's whereabouts.
So I stayed on this cruise ship for a month. When the pale-faced Wang Wei appeared in front of the crew, the entire crew was shocked.
Is this man with a pale face and a haggard face still the director Mike who shines like a ball of sunshine wherever he shines?
Because there is a section in the film that shows what it was like as a child in 1900, Wang Wei planned to let his own little witch play the part, so Hepburn, as a mother, also came to the filming scene.
When Hepburn saw Wang Wei¡¯s unshaven face. He couldn't help crying.
"Oh, God, what's going on, Mike, why are you so haggard?"
In fact, not only Hepburn, but also Xiao Xinyue and the crew were frightened by Wang Wei's honor.
Wang Wei was originally planning to discuss the shooting details with the crew. I was shocked by Hepburn's sudden burst of tears.
"What's wrong with you?" Wang Wei's confused face showed a trace of pity.
"Mike, how much torture have you suffered this month?" Hepburn looked at Wang Wei's blank eyes, feeling more and more heartbroken, mixed with heavy self-blame. In Hepburn's view, the reason why Wang Wei was so haggard was because she, as a wife, did not help Wang Wei in time to share the burden when she was hit by the Oscar night award failure and was ridiculed by the outside media. So Hepburn blamed herself very much.
"Am I being tortured?" Hepburn's performance made Wang Wei increasingly puzzled.
"Yeah, it's all my fault. I couldn't fulfill my wife's duties in time, which made you bear so much pressure on your own. II'm not agood wife. I think you are still Go home and recuperate for a while, then put it off for a while." Hepburn was like pouring beans. He said all the words in his heart in one breath.
Looking at Hepburn in an excited state, Wang Wei knew that he couldn't get anything out of Hepburn's mouth, so he turned his attention to the other members of the crew. To Wang Wei's surprise, the other members of the crew were just like Hepburn. The expression in his eyes was that he was going to rest soon.
Finally, in desperation, Wang Wei turned his attention to the little princess who was already full of tears.
Wang Wei bent down and picked up Wang Xinyue, whose face was full of tears.
"Xinyue, be good, tell dad what's going on!"
Xiao Xinyue, who was held in Wang Wei's arms, gently touched the stubble on her father's face. With a face full of anger, he said: "When I grow up, I will definitely dismantle the Oscar awards stage, and I will also let those bad reporters receive the punishment they deserve!"
When the little girl was dictating her future righteous actions to punish Oscar and reporters with a face full of indignation, Wang Wei finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Ugly girl, can you tell daddy. What's wrong with daddy!"
It was okay for Wang Wei not to ask, but when he asked, the little princess's golden beans immediately fell down.
This made Wang Wei extremely anxious. Finally, after some coercion and persuasion, Xiao Xinyue stopped crying. Finally, after some questioning, Wang Wei learned that, It turns out he was thereDuring this month, in order to experience the mentality of 1900 who grew up on a boat, I didn't get off the boat for a month. As a result, my face was a little pale because I hadn't seen the sun for a long time. In addition, for convenience, I didn't shave during the period. This led to his appearance of dignity that looked very haggard to outsiders.
After understanding the ins and outs of this oolong incident, Wang Wei gave a depressed smile. It seemed that he was really obsessed.
But then again, as the saying goes, if you are not crazy, you will not survive. If you want to understand 1900's mentality and situation, you must do this.
After giving two wry smiles, Wang Wei asked the stage manager to take a mirror and take a look at himself. It turned out that it was fine without taking a look. When he looked at it, even Wang Wei himself was startled. His appearance looked like that of a man who had just escaped. refugee. No wonder Hepburn misunderstood herself.
After understanding the cause and effect of the matter. Wang Wei reluctantly explained to Hepburn and the crew the reason for his honorable appearance.
??????????
"Is this really the case?" Although Wang Wei's explanation was clear and logical, Hepburn still didn't believe it. After all, Wang Wei went too far.
"How can I lie to you? You still don't know my temper. Either don't do it or do the best you can!" Wang Wei patted his chest and said.
Seeing Wang Wei¡¯s confident look, Hepburn finally chose to believe Wang Wei, but Hepburn still made a request, that is, she must accompany her throughout the filming period. Hepburn's request made the crew members of The Pianist on the Sea extremely happy. You must know that Hepburn is one of the top three beauties in Hollywood. Especially since she followed Wang Wei and was nourished by the Pure Yang Sutra, Hepburn became even more radiant. The traces left by time on the face are minimized, and the beauties of the same era as Hepburn are either withering or getting old. This has led to Hepburn becoming a Hollywood treasure.
Therefore, the crew members greatly welcomed the fact that Hepburn was helping the crew.
Looking at the determined expression on Hepburn's face, Wang Wei knew that Hepburn was serious this time. Even if he didn't want to, he probably couldn't change Hepburn's mind. Who told him to transform into an ape-man? If Hepburn hadn't been supervising, who knows if the man would have completely transformed into King Kong after filming The Pianist.
Finally, at Hepburn¡¯s insistence, Wang Wei agreed to Hepburn¡¯s request.
After resolving this oolong incident, the Pianist on the Sea started up as scheduled.
The second male lead is played by Dustin Hoffman.
Because of Wang Wei¡¯s discerning appreciation, Hoffman was given the role of the leading actor in The Shawshank Redemption. Because of this movie, Hoffman became one of the top directors in Hollywood. Later, the Kramer couple were also personally selected by the producer Wang Wei, making Hoffman the male lead. This created Hoffmann's Oscar-winning position.
Moreover, Hoffman¡¯s Oscar winner¡¯s trophy was also presented by Wang Wei himself.
So for Hoffman, Wang Wei was a blessing.
Therefore, Hoffman was also in a very heavy mood regarding Wang Wei's upset on Oscar night.
When he saw Wang Wei for the first time just now, Hoffman was also jumped. Later, after listening to Wang Wei's explanation, he felt relieved.
Because The Pianist on the Sea is a flashback, Wang Wei first arranged for Hoffman¡¯s role.
"Dustin, how are your preparations?" Wang Wei looked at Hoffman's hesitation, patted his shoulder and greeted with a smile.
"Boss, although I don't know what to say, I believe you won't be stopped by this setback." Hoffman twitched for a long time before he could say a word.
In response to Hoffman's comfort, Wang Wei smiled and waved his hand and said, "Whether I can get over this setback depends on how hard you act this time!"
"Boss, believe me, it will happen!" Dustin Hoffman assured.
