Chapter 255: Most profitable

Chapter 255 The Most Profitable Man
"Schindler's List" was finally released at the end of 1993. After doing a lot of pre-promotions and attracting the attention of countless people, it immediately received countless praises.
"Spielberg once again showed his amazing talent. He used a black-and-white film to do things that color films didn't do, and closed those mouths to those who question him." Los Angeles Times
"Heavy, oppressive, and hopeful, this is a masterpiece of humanitarianism. Spielberg is no longer childlike, but he brings to viewers an uncomfortable work that has to be watched." The Hollywood Reporter
"To save one person is to save the world. Adrian, who was the producer of" Schindler's List, "was right. Although I still insist that Schindler's motivations in history are not so simple, I agree that this is a masterpiece. . "Chicago Lun Al Mandela
Including sharp words, no matter how good a movie is, the film critic Roger Albert, who loved the last two sentences, also praised the film in his own column and gave his thumbs up.
"Since the beginning of the film, there has been color. Although black and white films have not completely disappeared on the screen, they have also been completely reduced to a place of performance. Directors make black and white films more to show their unique tastes. Because the more colors there are, the richer things can be.
But Spielberg has now broken through this. Although "Schindler's List" has only two colors, we can see more colors than black and white. When the one-armed old man was killed on the snow, there was a strong contrast between the blood flowing out and the snow; when the women in the concentration camps looked pale and rosy in order to avoid being picked out by the Nazis, they had to When they pierced their fingers and smeared blood on their faces; when the children of the concentration camp hid in the pit below the toilet in order to avoid Nazi hunting; when the women were running naked in the concentration camp with their bodies naked. Although there are only two colors, the shock and impact caused us to see more, the heavyness that color cannot bring.
Throughout the film, Spielberg-style montages are everywhere, full of light but meaningful metaphors, such as Aimon pulling a Jewish worker out, aiming his head and firing a few shots because of problems. Shot a bullet. Even so, he continued to pull the trigger without giving up. The annihilation of man ng is evident here.
But the most amazing thing is the whole film. The only girl who walked through the Holocaust with color, using such a bright red color to represent the symbolic meaning of the massacre, can't help but want to stand up and applaud. However, Spielberg admitted that the idea in a very Spielberg format was not his own, but provided by his friend Adrian Cowell, and Cowell not only helped in this film. He was very busy and provided investment for the whole movie. I have to say that this young man deserves the title of "miracle director". "
Of course, there are also criticism articles, but most of them are not painful. The more famous the media, the more so, most of them are criticized from the shooting methods and angles, and at the same time they praised it as a great With a humanitarian spirit. After all, anti-fascism is politically correct no matter which country it is in, plus a large number of old guys are behind it, and even extreme anti-Semitic elements are now afraid to openly oppose it.
It is precisely because of this momentum that the home theater line has been obtained before the release, and it has expanded to home immediately after the release. But that's it. Although the old guys hope that more people can enjoy the movie, they cannot violate market rules unless they completely monopolize the theater.
It doesn't matter. This kind of start is quite good compared to other art films. Adrian decided to perform a long-term screening from the beginning. As long as the current momentum continues and gradually rises, the cinema owner must also follow the market rules. .
In short, from the end of 1993 to the beginning of 1994, the most-discussed film in the United States was the "Schindler's List". Various praises came out endlessly. Jewish communities in major cities across the United States held grand mourning. At the event, even Clinton screamed at a press conference: "I urge you to go and see this film."
As to whether he really thinks so, or wants to please voters, or have a deal with some people, it is unknown. Anyway, this is another firewood for Schindler's List, making it more and more prosperous in the United States. Three weeks later, not only did the number of theater lines increase to home, but the total box office in North America also received 20,000, and this momentum has not weakened at all. Probably Jewish families in North America have gone to see the movie.
The situation in Europe is even more fierce. After all, it was the main area affected by Jews. When the movie was released in European countries, many Jewish families took the initiative to promote it. In addition, the unprecedented solidarity of the Jews suffered after World War II. The old guy here was only slightly connected, and German Chancellor Kohl appeared on the German screen of Schindler's List.
Of course, the achievement of such achievements and the rise of such great momentum are not unrelated to the excellence of movies. Adrian said a long time ago that the reason why "Schindler's List" will be favored, will be sought after, and will be favored by those old guys, the key lies in its entertainment, or closer to the feelings of ordinary people.
Whether it is "Warsaw Street" or "Anne Diary" or "Naked in the Wolves", it is too long, "Warsaw Street" is a 49-year-old work; either the perspective is narrow, "Annie Diary" and "Nude In The Wolves, they are all about one or several families from the perspective of one person.
The "Schindler's List" has three perspectives, and shows that history in all directions. More importantly, Spielberg knows what kind of plots and roles the audience prefers. Schindler's list
Got to get a good box office in Germany. In addition to the self-reflection of the Germans, the protagonist is one of the reasons why the Germans may be.
The audience will naturally be moved and shocked by these, and the Jews will naturally show what kind of role the film can play in publicity, and the "Schindler's List" will naturally be sought after.
Because of this film, Spielberg's status in Hollywood will be more stable. You must know that at least half of the founders of the seven major film companies are Jews, and the other half are related to Jews.
In the same way, Kingsley also got more praises, and Nissen and Fiennes opened up the situation in Hollywood. Nissen, in particular, has to dress up every time he travels during the movie's release, otherwise countless people will be watching wherever he goes, and sometimes he will be thanked by people who take the film as a reality as Schindler over and over again.
Feyns wasn't so lucky. Who asked him to be a villain? However, there are still many film dealers coming to the door, but unfortunately this British son is not here, he seems to prefer to make British movies. Of course, Hollywood movies with good scripts will also pick up, but they have been verbally booked for Adrian.
However, it is not them who make the most profit from this movie.
"You are an amazing young man, Ed, who has both mind and vision and is so talented." Among those in a circle of suits and leathers, a slightly fat old man in his early days said to Adrian.
"That's right, Steven himself said that without you, this movie could be a lot overshadowed." Another short old man followed, and his words led to a consistent nod.
"It's a great prize, it's the result of everyone working together." Adrian said with a smile, then his face was full, and he raised the glass in his hand: "Although it's a bit inappropriate on this occasion, I still want to invite you together……"
"It doesn't matter, this is what it should be." One of them also raised his glass and became serious.
"Respect those who have lost their lives, and they will rest in the arms of the Lord," Adrian said.
After drinking it, he said a few words, and Adrian then left and went to the father and son who were talking.
"Already finished?" Benedict smiled at his godson.
"Yes, Godfather." Adrian nodded. "It was a pretty good chat."
"You're excellent, Ed," Benedict patted his shoulder. "I can think of such a method."
"It just so happened. If we didn't meet Steven, we wouldn't be where we are now." Adrian said modestly.
"No, no, Ed, there are not so many coincidences in this world, and everything is for a reason. If you do n’t cheer up, you do n’t make a movie, you do n’t get that much, even if you meet Steven. There won't be no situation. "Benedict smiled mildly." So you are outstanding. "
"Dad," Crowd couldn't help reminding.
"Well, son, you are also excellent," Benedict suddenly laughed. "You two are both excellent. I am proud of you, very proud."
He took another two photos of each other ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and then said seriously: "But I want to remind you, Ed, those are all old foxes, friendship is friendship, business is business."
"I know, Godfather, don't worry. Although I'm not good at this, there is a shrewd guy helping me." Adrian smiled and looked at Claude, and the two immediately punched each other.
"That's it, don't bother you talking." Benedict left with a smile.
"I never thought that a movie would be so powerful." Claude said after his father left.
"It just happened that they just needed such a movie, so they spared no effort." Adrian shrugged, then looked at him and asked: "Done?"
"That's it," said Crowder, raising one's chin to an old man in the circle who was still talking. "Mr. Bloom helped, and the other person sold his shares very easily."
At this point, he was angry and showed a smile of victory: "Ted has fewer and fewer chips in his hands."
