Vol 3 Chapter 255: In Nanjing

Frankly, the cry movie is basically! The ring calculation is good, but the sword of the royal family is too much and fragmentary. It might be better if you change directors. Because of Angela's identity, these depictions are not entirely convincing. "Wrote one newspaper.
"I think this should be the best movie that Angela has performed after The Pianist. Not many people can put real people on the big screen and be impartial." This British film Articles on the website.
To put it simply, different parties interpreted the film from their own perspectives and discussed it with their own opinions. Whoever made this a political film also involved the characters in reality.
In this way, the public curiosity was greatly raised, so when "Queen" was released after the New Year, it was once popular in the UK to lose to the big productions, and even Blair took the time to take the whole family to go Movie theaters.
"It is relatively objective. Although there are still some small flaws, no one can deny that Miss Angela has done a great job. Blair commented after watching the movie, although Mrs Blair couldn't help muttering a few words," The description of the royal family is too "It's true that the experiences of her husband in the movie are still true to the truth.
As for the royal family, it is quite low-key. If not the reporter asked at the regular meeting. A royal spokesman might not mention it at all. Even so, it was simply "this is a more objective and fair film. Perfunctory, but there are reports that the Queen has watched the film alone in Buckingham Palace. When asked, the spokesperson neither admitted nor denied.
Despite this, the film has been praised among the British public. Mainly because there are not many shots related to Princess Diana, and they are all edited from documentaries. In addition, the film itself does not favor any party, but only shows the facts that can be known, so they accepted it very easily.
"But there is one more point. This is the first time that Her Majesty has made concessions to the people at home. Subconsciously everyone likes to remember." While in the grandpa's manor, Angela said to the old man half-jokingly.
Grandpa smiled and shook her head. Seriously, "Anyway, everyone thinks this is a very good Ran Ying."
No matter how arguing various views are, one thing is their consensus, that is the view in the earliest "Hollywood Report": the best interpretation of the word "compromise"! The change of the queen and the change of Blair are all driven by the details. Although the narrative is slightly flawed, it calmly and clearly conveys the theme, which is more impressive than the King of Women for the hunted male poison. Or Blair's hesitation in choosing which side to support.
Angela smiled slightly and accepted the old man's compliment calmly. Unlike before, this time she accepted with ease. Except that the frame and outline are similar to the movie in the memory, she has re-framed it. After all, Angela has experienced the whole thing firsthand. This is the general content of her own work.
Regrettably, although the American media have rated the film highly and praised it mostly. However, the North American box office in the first week only persuaded more than ten thousand people, not even one-tenth of "Transformer Net". If not Angela. This number may fall a lot.
"The numbers are completely acceptable, after all, such movies can arrange knives. The home theater is already very good, unless it costs no money." Angela returned to Los Angeles and talked with Ed. The other party said, "Don't worry, I believe that the box office in Europe alone is enough to recover the cost. So you can make a lot of money. Isn't this the style of your work?"
"You can really speak. Ed. So be it." Angela said as she opened the door of her study.
Wang Fabei
Throwing the phone in her hand to the bed, she stepped in front of the window and stretched her body in the bright sunshine in winter, and then turned to look at a filing cabinet in the corner of the room.
The filming of "Queen" did not teach her much technically, but only allowed her to figure out and consolidate what she had learned before when restructuring. However, the film filled her plan with a final piece of the puzzle. The reason why she felt inappropriate when writing the script was because she had inserted too many personal emotions but did not want to compromise and give up.
Angela walked in front of the cabinet and opened it. The layers were filled with the information she collected, and even many of the files were yellow. In addition to the previous manuscript copies of "Labey's Diary", the manuscript copies of "Weitlin's Diary" and the materials of the Nanjing International Security Zone at the time, Han Xianglin's personal samples were added, and many were safe areas. Information on the Chinese served, even those who are not members of the International Security Zone but set up refugee camps in the Jiangnan Cement Plant on the outskirts of Nanjing to protect Chinese refugees, Bernhard Alp Sindberg, Danish, and Karl, Gunter, German data of.
Open here one at a time. There was always a feeling of heavyness, and it seemed that even breathing was slightly unsmooth.
"It's finally about to start." Angela murmured looking at the information. At this moment she finally understood Spielberg's feelings, and finally understood why he was getting an adaptation of "Schindler's List". After the right, it was only ten years later that it was put on the screen, and the feeling of sincerity and horror was so heavy.
"It's almost ten years if you want to count from Gu Nian." Angela gently scratched her finger on the document, then closed her eyes, "It started properly. Zong Cheng it, then one by two clear!"
Key Fen winter sun shrouded in this modern city. If it weren't for the obvious oriental-style monuments, or if it was not the rare crowds on the streets, this place would not be much different from other big cities in the world.
In the clean and bright restaurant, a slightly funny scene of a chicken and a duck is being performed.
"It's juice, its juice is abalone. That's it." Some awkward pronunciation came out of the woman with long black hair looking at the menu. She looks almost in her thirties, has a round face and facial features full of oriental charm. Obviously, Chinese women speak illegible Chinese, and it's no wonder that they make other guests look sideways.
"Is there anything I need?" The waitress asked in the same awkward manner.
The woman who has worked hard several times can not help glaring at her companion who is covering her mouth and laughing, a soft golden long hair, green eyes are bright and beautiful, and at a glance you know that it is a typical Western woman, just distinct However, the five senses have an indescribable sense of triumph for Oriental women.
"Well, Angela, I gave up, or you come." The woman sighed, and reluctantly handed the menu in front of her companion, saying it in fluent English.
"Are you really not going to try again, Alice?" Angela asked teasingly, seeing that the other side showed a helpless and self-deprecating look, then put away a joke, and hurriedly browsed the menu before using the Chinese to waitress Said: "One each of chicken soup dumplings, boiled dried shredded pork, and beef hot pot paste, thank you."
At the end, she added with a smile: "If you can, please don't be so surprised?"
The waitress closed her mouth and hurried away, but she could not help but secretly glanced back after walking inside, after all, an Oriental woman who was obviously a Chinese was unusually awkward. As a companion, Western women are very fluent in Chinese, and they will attract a lot of discarded eyes wherever they go.
Although the two at the table have become accustomed to this look, the oriental woman named Lisi still smiled and sighed: "It's really depressing. As a Chinese, my Chinese is worse than you too much."
"Well, Alice, you said it yourself, it was because you stayed in the country for a long time," Angela said comfortably, "learning a language requires an environment, and when you do n’t, it ’s not because you stay in China for a while Can we communicate? "
"Frankly, I wasn't as fluent as you were when I spoke the best." Alice shook her head. Then I remembered, "Yes, you said you are coming to China for the second time? Why can you still maintain such a fluent Chinese?"
"That's because," Angela shrugged. "I often listen to Chinese songs and talk to my grandma in Chinese, and I often go to Chinatown. I told you that my Chinese was taught by my grandma."
Just when the dishes came up, Angela quickly shifted the topic: "Well, let's eat. Our time is still very tight."
After lunch, the two immediately rushed to the Holocaust Museum, the last leg of their Nanjing trip. of course. Angela still kept the bodyguards who followed him out.
"Hello, curator Xu. This is my friend, Miss Angela Mason, and the sponsor of the documentary the year before." Alice and a gray-haired old man introduced Angela in English. "This time she wanted to remake a movie related to the Holocaust, so she came to Nanjing and wanted to find some first-hand information."
"Welcome to Nanjing, Miss Mason." The old man shook hands with Angela with a smile. "We are very grateful to enthusiastic people like you and Chunru. We will provide help."
Thank you, Mr. Xu. "Angela nodded and said in Chinese.
"Your Chinese is very good." Director Xu was slightly surprised.
"Learned from my grandma, she has half of Chinese ancestry." Angela paused here before continuing. "In fact, she had stayed at Jinling Women's University during the last century. But that She was still vaguely impressed with Nanjing and had returned to the United States before the disaster. "
"That's it." The old man didn't ask any more, and gestured to the secretary next to him. "Chen, take the two ladies to the archives and tell the relevant situation to the director Yu of the management office."
"Okay, Xu Lao" The other nodded. Then gestured to Angela and Alice, "Please follow me."
"You never told me that your grandma had stayed at Jinling University." As she went to the archives, Alice whispered in Angela's ear.
"I said just now, she was very vague at that time. And when the war broke out, she returned to the United States with her great-grandfather and great-grandmother." Angela shrugged, and then added: "However, according to grandma's memory, the foreign The great-grandfather and grand-grandmother met at Jinling Women's University. "
After thinking for a few minutes, Alice asked again, "This should be one of the reasons why you made" Labe Diary "."
"That's right." Angela replied unwillingly, and after secretly noticed the look of Secretary Chen, she made a secret gesture to Alice, who closed her mouth immediately.
After coming to the archives, the two quickly completed the formalities under the leadership of Secretary Chen.
"You can consult it casually this time, if you have any questions, you can ask Liu Nu
. Wanbigong discussed the points that can't know the point, because at that time we will explain to the secretary who closed the club.
"Thank you, we understand." Angela nodded, although Alice by her side has been here more than once. But she still didn't reject the other person's kindness.
"Then, after leaving Secretary Chen, he said but didn't leave the first time. He frowned slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he gave up after a long hesitation.
"He won't recognize you, right?" Alice was worried.
"No" Angela didn't take it seriously. "It's not like the United States. Although I also have a lot of popularity, it's not so easy to recognize. Besides, Orientals look at Westerners and Westerners look at Orientals. Unless they are very familiar, it is difficult to recognize each other. What's more, I have no makeup. "
Here she took off her coat and hung it on a chair. Then he patted Alice's arm: "Okay, don't care about those. It doesn't matter if you recognize it, let's focus on it. We only have about 3 hours. We need to hurry up. "
to be honest. Looking for information. Angela didn't need to go to Nanjing to visit the Holocaust Museum in person. The information in some American libraries is much more detailed than here, but most of them are never left behind.
It ’s just that you can take a look at the different records for comparison, and then come to the field tour and see if it is possible to do field shooting at that time.
So Angela asked Alice Zhang to go with her. After the book was published, the other party went to Nanjing and relevant places several times to find evidence and materials. If it hadn't been for the past two years due to illness, he might still be running on both sides of the Pacific Ocean.
With her, unnecessary waste is greatly reduced. Which county has a local history worth seeing. Which area has survivors of the time. Alice was very clear. And because she used to come to collect evidence often, she is very familiar with many people, and it is very convenient to visit and inquire, just like when she came to the museum.
"Today's efficiency is very high, all the needs are recorded. Let me take a look again. If there are no omissions, copy them after the opening tomorrow. Then we can go back." Angela turned over and recorded the needs. A small copy of the name of the material, slightly excited with tone.
Winter has not completely passed yet, and the sky is still getting dark early, so Nanjing City at this time is already at the beginning of the lantern, and she can only be completely clear by the lights of the street lights.
"Go back to the hotel and see. The light here is not good." Alice next said, her voice was a lot lower than before, and her face was a bit tired and nagging.
Sharply aware of this, Angela frowned: "Are you not rich, Alice?"
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Alice smiled reluctantly.
Angela stared at her for a long while, then solemnly said, "Listen, the reason why I invite you to come with me is because three professors have issued certificates to prove that your depression is almost the same. I don't want to go on this trip. Traveling gets you into trouble again. "
"I'm fine, Angela, it's really fine." Alice said, raising her hands seriously, "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you. If you didn't recommend Professor Balff, maybe I have now"
She didn't say any more. Angela did not continue, and after thinking about it, she proposed: "Or else, let Backett change the plane ticket, and we have time to go to the Confucian Temple and Xuanwu Lake? We have come all the way to Nanjing, and there is no scenery Have seen it. "
"Go back, after all, you still have something to do, don't you?" Alice shook her head, "such as various visits and activities. And canvassing her own movies."
Here she suddenly sighed and watched Angela hesitate or speak out: "Frankly, I hope you can get the best director this time."
"Oh?" Angela raised an eyebrow.
"Although you sponsored me to make the book a documentary the year before and let Pixar publish it, the impact would be too limited, and I still bear it." She made a few gestures with a bitter smile.
Angela knows what she wants to say. After the book was published, many unkind guys attacked her from various aspects, either saying that she was not a professional or questioning the source of information, etc. Depression was also partly caused by this.
"Don't worry, the more you do this, the happier they will be," Angela said comfortably.
Alice smiled, and then went on: "I hope you can get the best director. Although you have enough influence, if you are wearing the best director of the Oscar to direct this film, I believe it will cause More people pay attention, and I can show this humanitarian disaster better to everyone. Am I a little greedy? "
"No, not at all" Angela shook her head, "I can understand your mood, it's the same as when I first read" Labe's Diary "and directed" The Pianist "
Here she smiled and patted each other's shoulders: "Don't think about it so much, the jury will give it to me if you want. Well, let's find a place to eat dinner and think of those snacks. I will drool again. Then go back to the hotel to have a good rest, and have a tail to clean up tomorrow. "2k novel reading network
