The lights in the projection hall finally turned on, but the scene was silent. There was no sound. Even the previous choking stopped. The continuous sad atmosphere seemed to trap people and let them immerse themselves in it.
Finally, the clapping applause started, only one person was clapping, which was very abrupt. The audience at the scene immediately responded, as if they were awakened. They clapped their hands and cheered. The sound was so warm that the ceiling of the screening hall was almost lifted up.
"Thank you, thank you" audience came up and hugged Spielberg one after another. They were all red eyed and excited. They were different from the old men last time - although they were all very old - those guys were used to the big wind and waves. Even if they were surprised and shocked, they would not express them completely. And now those who are attending the premiere are from the major Jewish communities in the United States, so it's hard to stop seeing such a wonderful film.
"Thank you, thank you." Spielberg, who shook hands and hugged them one by one, said the same word, moistened his eyes, and took time to give Adrian, not far away, a grateful glance. When there was silence just now, it was Adrian who first applauded and then caused such a warm applause.
Adrian shrugged disapprovingly. He spent so much effort and so much relationship to invite these people to attend the premiere. What he wanted was this warm effect. Even if he didn't take the lead in clapping, these people would respond sooner or later.
Spielberg was surrounded by more and more people. This time, unlike the last time, there were only a few dozen spectators, and the crowds surrounded him. Liam Neeson and Ben Kingsley were also treated in the same way. Those who were blocked out from expressing their gratitude to Spielberg focused on them. Fortunately, the audience remained rational and calm. They did not equate Ralph Feins with Amon, but no one ever spoke to him, so that there was no one around him Big piece.
"It doesn't seem very good." Adrian went in and asked in a joking tone.
"No," Ralph shook his head. "I can understand how they feel, in fact When I was watching this movie myself They all hate their role. It's really hard to imagine that there would have been such a person decades ago. "
"Yeah, that's the charm of the movie," Adrian shrugged. "Steven's storytelling skills are really second to none. Of course, your performance is excellent and deep-rooted."
"Thank you. I don't thank you yet, ED," feines said, suddenly thinking of something. "I remember when jadrich told me that you told him to find me directly."
"Yes, I remember when jadrich said you almost beat him when he found you." Adrian said with a smile.
"For other actors, if a stranger comes to see him in a Nazi uniform and wants to take a few pictures, he will probably have the same reaction as me." Feins shrugged, then thought of something, looked at Adrian and laughed.
"I don't want to thank you all of a sudden, ed He said so.
"Oh? Why? " Adrian picked his eyebrows.
"Because the character is so disturbing, not to mention the problems in the shooting - I drank about 28 pounds of wine, God, I never knew I could drink so much. But more importantly, I'm worried that after the film is released, I'll get a lot of threatening and warning letters from all over the world Feins joked, and Adrian laughed as he settled in.
They talked for a while. Spielberg, Nathan and Kingsley finally got rid of the excited audience and went to the front room to prepare for the press conference. Although Adrian was present as a producer, he actually did nothing but invest and advise, so he sat quietly in the corner to listen to Spielberg and their answers.
Reporters did not pay too much attention to him. Although Adrian lost the Oscars this year and had affairs with Julia and Monica respectively, it was far from the limelight of last year. In addition, Spielberg has always been put on the front desk in previous publicity work. Schindler's list has received a lot of attention from the beginning, so the reporters are targeting him.
Adrian was happy, too, and would only insert a word or two when he needed to. The reporters are obviously prepared. After all, with the overwhelming publicity in the past two months, most people have already known where the film was adapted from and what twists and turns have gone through. However, Spielberg, who has been adjusted, has dealt with too many such situations, so he has been answering questions in an orderly manner. The three leading stars of Nathan, Kingsley and Feins are also very appropriate. This situation has continued until a reporter from the Chicago Tribune asked a question.
"Do you really know about Oscar Schindler's life, Mr. Spielberg?" He asked.
As soon as he said this, Adrian picked his eyebrows. This guy was obviously not good at it.
Spielberg was stunned and nodded: "yes, of course, I started collecting information after I got the right to adapt this book. I believe I know enough about Schindler's life.""So don't you think the movie's description of Schindler is a little exaggerated?" The reporter asked.
"It's normal that the film needs to be artistically exaggerated, and it's not just Schindler that the movie wants to express." Although Spielberg frowned, he patiently answered the other party's questions.
"But it's no longer appropriate to exaggerate," the reporter confidently said. "I have read through Schindler's biography several times and collected a lot of relevant information. According to my understanding, Mr. Schindler is not as humanitarian as you described in the film. It can be said that his character of seeking pleasure has never changed. He helped those people even more More because of the news of Germany's defeat, he left a way for himself - well, I admit that there was speculation in the last sentence, but it was true that he lived in the house of the Jews who had been rescued after the war, and maintained a lover relationship with his mistress. I think this has affected the whole film, making its foundation not so solid. "
Spielberg's brow deepened. He was obviously angry, but before he could speak, Adrian had already taken the microphone: "I'll answer that question."
How can this be left to Spielberg?
The reporters' eyes immediately focused on Adrian. They had asked him something about him and Spielberg before, but he quietly pushed them to Spielberg. Spielberg praised Adrian's support for himself and their friendship, so they were curious about what Adrian was going to say.
"Before I answer this question, I'd like to ask this gentleman to answer me a question." Adrian said so.
"It seems unfair, but It doesn't matter, please. " The reporter noticed something, but didn't know what it was, so he said it was OK.
"I would like to ask, is it true that Schindler helped almost 1000 Jews in those terrifying years?" Adrian's hands crossed on the table, said, this time for the other party lenglengleng.
Adrian didn't give him a chance to speak, and immediately went on: "no matter what kind of person Schindler is, no matter what his purpose is to help these people, he has sheltered more than 1000 Jews and let them live. Is this the most basic fact?"
"Yes, of course, but..." Reporters want to fight back.
"When you watched the movie, I believe you will not forget the last few scenes. The surviving Jews made a ring for Schindler in order to thank him. This sentence is engraved on the ring," Adrian glanced at the audience slightly with a sneer in his eyes. "Can anyone tell me what this is?"
Now no one says anything. They already know what Adrian wants to say. The reporter of the Chicago Tribune is touching his nose and looking away.
"Saving one person is like saving the world." Adrian spread his hands, solemn as if in prayer.
Then there was a loud clapping sound. Although there was not much applause or much applause, it was very harsh in the front hall. Spielberg also gave him a thumbs up.
"Your answer is brilliant, ed "I can't think of a better answer," Spielberg praised after the launch
"You would have said that," Adrian shrugged. "In fact, I should have asked you to warn that guy, but it took so much effort to get the film on, and it was so well made that I didn't like the noise of people."
"Yes, it's finally on," Spielberg sighed. "I've said it many times, but I still want to say thank you, ED, for all this."
"Don't be so polite. We all know what this is for." Adrian said with a smile.
"Sometimes I don't want to control the whole process of distribution, but I don't want to control the whole process." Spielberg suddenly said this, and then thought of some excuse and said: "sorry, ED, I'm not saying that you did not do well, you did well, I just have some feelings."
"I understand, Steven," Adrian waved with a smile. "Remember what I said to you after the audition? You can set up a film company of your own. "
"Why, do you think it's a good idea for me to set up a film company myself?" Spielberg raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Why not? You have the ability to have connections. If you raise enough money, you can set up your own film company. Maybe you will become a big film company comparable to Warner and universal, "Adrian said, with a flash of light in his eyes.
