Chapter 280 You Can’t Let Me Pay for the Jews!

In the theater, many sentimental female audiences had tears in their eyes.

In fact, many people had expected a tragic ending when the accident happened, but they always held hope. After all, in the past hour and a half, they had developed feelings for the two lovely children. They hoped that they could be saved and expected a so-called "happy ending".

But obviously, the heavy and cold iron door at the end was still firmly closed, announcing the tragedy that could not be changed, and the prison uniform outside the door silently told the history of the crime. This long shot was thought-provoking and frighteningly quiet. The picture faded away with the sound of the piano, but the audience's mood was difficult to calm down.

"My god!"

"It's so cruel!"

In fact, there was never a bloody shot in the whole movie, but this movie with children as the protagonists could capture the hearts of the audience without much exaggeration. The sad fairy tale performed in the form of lies was optimistic, but it revealed an extremely strong pessimistic color and sense of substitution in the absurd style. This kind of destruction after witnessing the beauty finally gave the audience a huge impact and shock.

When the film ended and the lights in the theater came on again, a group of people led by Spielberg gave Wu Yuchen and the film a long round of applause.

"Wu, this is really a great movie! Seeing the two boys in the film reminded me of the Jewish children who were buried in Auschwitz like angels. The crimes of fascism are unforgivable!"

Wu Yuchen also held his hand tightly: "Mr. Hughes, our Chinese nation also suffered from the destruction and persecution of fascism during World War II. I think we will have a lot in common."

"Wu, you are really cruel! But this is really an amazing movie! All the tragedies and sins come from war, from those who started the war, and from terrible extreme ideas!"

"Yes! As long as The existence of war is inevitably accompanied by tragedy and sin! "

Cheng Long also came up and hugged Wu Yuchen tightly. After letting go of Wu Yuchen, he worshipped him and said, "Director Wu, I really want to worship you now! This movie is too important to our Chinese nation! This is our nation's movie!"

Seeing Cheng Long's sincere emotions at this time, Wu Yuchen also grabbed his arm: "No need to do this, I am a descendant of the Chinese nation like you, isn't this what I should do?"

Wu Yuchen chatted with these people who came forward to talk to him one by one, until a long time later, he sent everyone away one by one. At this time, his inner mood was also a little ups and downs. Through the response of the premiere, he also had high expectations for this "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas".

The next day, the media reported on Wu Yuchen's "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas":

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, Wu Yuchen's anti-war film is shocking!"

"Wu Yuchen reveals China's Auschwitz!"

"The most touching movie of the year - "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas"!"

"The Boy in the Striped Pajamas - a black fairy tale drama."

"Among the many themes reflecting World War II, some are fierce, some are paranoid, and the perspectives are different. Some are known for their grandeur, and some are strange and outstanding. But when it comes to the naturalness of the story, the unique impact on human nature, and the unforgivable mistakes, this "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" brought by Wu Yuchen is enough to shock people!

It perfectly reproduces the kind of coincidence and extreme peace from a wonderful child's perspective, without making a sound, touching everyone's heartstrings, and triggering extremely profound thinking about war, ideas and human nature."

" "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is pure and melancholy, just like the absurd giant blue sky and the green lawn that symbolizes life in the film.

In terms of setting and lens, Wu Yuchen often uses long lenses and long shots with a strong sense of oppression, and there are mysteries everywhere in the film. The cruel and cold concentration camps form a sharp contrast with the innocent and lovely children. From the perspective of the boy, it uniquely interprets the damage caused by war to human society and the emotional world, full of desire for a peaceful world.

The film never speaks directly of cruelty and bloodiness, which does not mean that it deliberately avoids these issues. It is just that children's eyes cannot interpret them. Only through some details and hints, it conveys the bloody and coldness of that era..."

Reports and films about "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" have been released. This is naturally the work of those film critics and reporters who watched the premiere yesterday. Of course, there is also Wu Yuchen's influence and the power of the film's public relations team behind it.

This time, the public relations team of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is DreamWorks, and Wu Yuchen is talking with Spielberg at this time.

"Steven, I want your help!"

"Oh, Wu, we are close partners and good friends. DreamWorks and I will certainly do our best to help you! And "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" is a great movie. I believe it will win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film this year without any suspense!"

Spielberg said this with certainty. Not only because of the excellent quality of the film itself and the confidence in the public relations team, but also because as Brad Pitt's Black Palace continues to release the Iraq War to the outside world, the topic and trend of anti-war in Hollywood are becoming more and more intense. This anti-war film is really appropriate!

"Thank you, Steven!"

However, Wu Yuchen did not stop there, but continued: "But I want more than just the Best Foreign Language Film..."

Wu Yuchen has already won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with "Love". It's not that he doesn't want it, but he wants more.

"I hope "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" can win a more important award. This movie is very important to me. I hope you can understand!" Wu Yuchen said with a sincere expression and sincere tone.

More important awards? In fact, there are only a few that are more important than the Best Foreign Language Film, including the Best Actor and Best Actress awards, as well as the Best Director and Best Picture.

Spielberg fell into thought after hearing this. The two awards of Best Actor and Best Actress are obviously unlikely. Although black actors and actresses were born at the same time last year, everyone knows what happened, and the black power in Hollywood is much stronger than that of Asians. Asians have to fight for a long time to win the best actor and actress.

The remaining two awards are Best Director and Best Picture. This put Spielberg in distress...

Spielberg was silent for a moment, and then said to Wu Yuchen: "Wu, we are friends, so I will tell you something from the heart. Do you know the movie "The Pianist" that won the Palme d'Or in Cannes this year?"

Wu Yuchen nodded: "I know, it's a highly praised anti-war movie! Both Polanski's directing and Adrian's performance are great!"

Spielberg spread his hands: "Wu, just like I understand your feelings about "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", you also have to understand that I am Jewish and I can't help but support this movie."

Even in Hollywood, where Jews hold a major voice, Spielberg is a core figure. He enjoys the convenience brought to him by his ethnicity, so he must bear the due responsibilities.

As an excellent film directed by a Jewish director that reflects the suffering of the Jews, he must stand up to support "The Pianist".

Wu Yuchen was not surprised by Spielberg's attitude. He had guessed this result long ago, which is why Wu Yuchen came to Spielberg to talk openly about this matter today.

"The Pianist" is also an anti-war film, and it also reflects the suffering of the Jews. This will undoubtedly hit the G-spot of the Jews and gain the support of a large number of Jews. It will also be Wu Yuchen's biggest enemy in this Oscar, because the two films are of the same theme. In the previous life, "The Pianist" successfully won the two awards of Best Director and Best Actor this year, and it was an enemy that Wu Yuchen could not avoid.

Wu Yuchen continued: "Steven, I admit that "The Pianist" is a very good movie, and it may be a strong contender for the best film this year. Polanski is also an excellent director... But do you think Polanski should get the Best Director award?"

Spielberg fell into silence again after hearing what Wu Yuchen said. In terms of directing ability, there is nothing to question about Polanski, and he can even be called the top. But this guy has a super black spot...

Roman Polanski's experience is legendary. He spent his childhood in a concentration camp, his mother died tragically in the concentration camp, and escaped from the concentration camp with the help of a Pole, and reunited with his father many years later.

He showed his talent as a genius director in his early years. In 1962, he directed his first feature film "Knife in the Water", which was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 36th Academy Awards. In 1966, he directed the thriller "Cast Away", which won the 16th Berlin Golden Bear Award. In the following decades, he also won many awards and was a frequent visitor to the three major European awards.

But in 1977, Polanski had an indescribable relationship with a 13-year-old girl and made an unforgivable mistake. He knew what consequences he would bear in America, so after being imprisoned for 42 days, he fled America on the eve of the verdict and then went unpunished in Europe.

In fact, he is not only controversial in this "strong girl case", but also in the cult murder case. His wife, who was eight months pregnant, died in the cult murder, and he himself was the second target suspected by the police.

Therefore, Polanski can be said to have mixed reputations, and in the eyes of the public, he is actually a notorious figure. After all, when he is mentioned, he is accompanied by the label of "strong criminal", and the target is a young girl. Think about whether ordinary people will have a good impression of such a person?

If Polanski wins the Oscar for Best Director, Spielberg also knows how much public pressure and controversy it will bring.

But in the previous life, the Jews pushed Polanski to the Best Director title despite such great pressure and unanimous criticism from the outside world, because this "The Pianist" was too much to their taste. It is conceivable how much influence the Jews have in Hollywood.

But now Wu Yuchen wants to take this opportunity to disintegrate some of the internal forces of the Jews headed by Spielberg.

Wu Yuchen continued to look at Spielberg and said:

"Steven, "The Pianist" is excellent and deserves the best film, but can Polanski win the best director? If he wins the best director, it may not add much glory to the Jews. Instead, more people will know that such a Jew is a "strong prisoner" who is at large and enjoys privileges. Is this good or bad for your ethnic group?"

Spielberg is not stupid. Of course, he also understands that Wu Yuchen's words make sense. But even so, he can't say that he will give up "The Pianist" and support "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas".

Then Wu Yuchen smiled at Spielberg again: "Hey, Steven, you don't need to be so nervous. Do you think "The Pianist" can win all the Oscars?"

"Huh?"

Spielberg shook his head directly: "That might be difficult."

"Why not focus your efforts? You should know how much resistance Polanski will face if he wants to win the Best Director award, and how much controversy it will bring, right? Instead of doing that, it would be better to let the public relations of "The Pianist" focus on the Best Film and Best Actor, so that people can focus on the movie itself. Isn't that better?"

Spielberg was in a dilemma. He understood Wu Yuchen's intention. He wanted him to be the middleman, so that "The Pianist" could focus on the Best Film, while "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" could focus on the Best Director.

As the core of Hollywood Jews, Spielberg has the ability to be the middleman if he speaks up. But doing so may make some people in the tribe dissatisfied with him. Is it worth it?

Spielberg looked up at Wu Yuchen again. The other party was in the heyday and was at the peak of his directorial creation. Let's not talk about other things, just how much profit did "Pirate King" bring to DreamWorks?

Wu Yuchen took the initiative to ask him for help this time, and Spielberg knew how much he valued the film. And he also made it clear that Polanski should not win the Best Director award. If he didn't stand on his side this time, the "Pirate King" project might be ruined!

Others might not be able to do it, but Wu Yuchen is still a young man. In the past few years, he had a life-and-death dispute with Disney and Eisner because of the Oscars. This time, he might also break up with him because of the Oscars. The other party can really postpone the filming of "Pirate King" indefinitely!

He knows that many big studios are flirting with Wu Yuchen now. It's not that Wu Yuchen can't leave their DreamWorks, but DreamWorks can't do without Wu Yuchen!

Thinking of this, Spielberg made up his mind. I have done enough for the Jews, and I can't let me lose money for the Jews! What can Polanski bring to me if he wins the award? Let this tough guy go to hell!

Isn't it just a loss of reputation in the hearts of some more extreme Jews? For Spielberg, it's just a little bit of hardship!

After thinking it over, Spielberg showed Wu Yuchen a kind and friendly smile:

"Wu, I am not only a Jew, but also a filmmaker and your friend. Whether it is because of "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" or because of you, I will choose to stand by your side! I will fully support you in your bid for the Best Director!"
