Robert Iger, Stacy Schneider, Harvey, Weinstein, Ridley Scott, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, Drake Ryan, Tom Hanks, Russell Crowe, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, John Carroll, editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times, Ben Bradley, editor-in-chief of The Washington Post, US editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, as well as well-known film critic, Roger Albert, who has rarely left Chicago in recent years...

This is the most dazzling name on Daniel's guest list. In addition, there are more than 20 film critics from all over the world, more than 30 media reporters, and well-known movie account owners with mb, with a total of no more than 80 people. The group, in the largest and most luxurious hall of the Oriental Cinema, can accommodate nearly 400 people in the screening room, as the first wave of Americans to watch Roman Polanski's new work "The Pianist" - an Oscar-winning Palme d'Or and The actor's masterpiece of World War II theme.

The list was published on the same day in the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.

Daniel's announcement of his Hollywood status and friendship with a movie screening, rather than a luxury villa party, is somewhat novel. And, according to the confirmed reports in the newspaper, they will not arrange a red carpet session in front of the theater.

After the big players enter the theater, they will directly enter the screening room. After watching, there will be no discussion, and there will be no post-screening party.

To put it simply, the big guys are watching a movie. Then leave and that's it.

"Silent Premiere" - that's the name The Times gave to this special screening.

"I don't think this movie is so suitable for the hustle and bustle, it is not so suitable for the big party. If you want to know what happened sixty years ago? What happened to the Jews in Europe? I welcome you to watch it, if you just want to see the bombing , Cannon, I advise you not to waste dollars." Daniel said in an interview.

At 5:30 p.m. on December 7, 2002, the entire street in front of the Oriental Cinema was temporarily controlled. There were many luxury cars and crowds.

Although not all of the celebrities wore black - fearing it would be too much like a funeral, most of them attended in light and dark tones. For example, Cameron, only painted a light makeup. Came here in a grey down jacket and jeans.

Directors are even more eclectic.

Daniel, dressed in formal clothes, stood upright at the entrance of the theater, welcoming every guest who came, and asking them to leave their names on the signature book. The top of the scrapbook. "The Pianist" Oriental Cinema Screening is written in large font, and at the bottom right of each page, there is a line of handwritten characters one size smaller, "Daniel Sandler, thank you for coming."

This time, in addition to the editor-in-chief Carroll, of course, reporters came to the "Los Angeles Times". Coincidentally, Jones appeared in person this time. She is now the newspaper's key theme leader. A special theme is in the works: Movies and War.

Against the backdrop of the gunfire in Afghanistan and the cloudy cloud of the Iraq war, the subject mattered deeply.

In the auditorium, everyone arrived on time. At 5:30, the lights in the projection room dimmed.

Only Daniel had a chasing light above his head.

His expression was alienated and sad, and in this clear boundary between darkness and light, he resembled the character behind the curtain.

Jones had to sigh, things are changing. She would never forget when Daniel was trying to get the role of Commodius in "Gladiator". Cusa came to contact himself, so that they could get Joaquin Phoenix out. Choose to consume the death ability of River Phoenix. At that time, Daniel was still a little star with only a little Internet buzz, although she was sure to participate in "The Lord of the Rings" - in fact, this was an important reason why she finally decided to agree. Since then, he has almost become the most eye-catching young man in this era. In countless selection lists, Daniel has become a guest of honor - such as this year's "International Outstanding Youth in San Francisco" ", this is the second time after Tom Cruise awarded to the entertainment industry.

Until now, now, in front of these most powerful people in Hollywood, it is not a miracle that he can stand alone on a high platform so calmly, what else?

Daniel took a step forward and walked to the microphone stand.

"Thank you for being willing to come to this screening room to watch this upcoming film from cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, etc., which are so busy, noisy, full of doubts and forgetfulness. Before that, I would like to briefly introduce click it.

It is based on the story of the Polish-Jewish pianist Varadyslau Spearman, who Rohmann extracted from his autobiography. Its director is Roman Polanski, a Pole who once escaped from the Nazis. His father and uncle were taken into the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria. His father survived and his uncle died unfortunately. And his mother, forever in the notorious Auschwitz. When he was shooting, he said to me, 'Every frame of the picture seems to be divided from my memory, and behind the picture is the flesh and blood of me, my mother, and my compatriots'.

But you will find that the picture is not so bloody, the artillery fire is in the distance, and there are only some small fights in front of you; you will find that there is no unforgettable hatred and no blood that can be washed away. I also had doubts, I asked the director, and he answered me like this, 'Sixty years is enough time for all bloodstains and corpses to dissipate and dim, those massacres, those indifferent shootings, those lying on the block The corpses have become symbols inscribed in history, each exuding a cold and faint brilliance, making us alert, sad, and longing for warmth and compassion. ’

And that's what I felt when I was in this movie. We hope that it can convey these ideas to the audience of the film, enrich the meaning and connotation of the film, and restore the power of the film to remember human nature. "

After the last sentence was finished, the chasing light went out, and Daniel stepped down and took his seat. Beside him was Collins Borsh, who came here on purpose, and she squeezed his hand.

Although it was a well-planned event, there's no denying that Daniel did feel a lot of things forgotten and left untouched during the making of this film.

The film begins in Warsaw in 1938. This is a film copied from the Polish History Museum and re-restored. In the black and white shots, there are busy crowds passing through the streetcars.

In the background is a piano piece played by Spearman on Warsaw Radio.

With the appearance of Spearman played by Daniel, he heard low, deliberately suppressed exclamations from some friends in the back row. They had all seen some photos, but surprisingly, this time the "Pianist"'s None of the propaganda posters is a positive feature.

So when they saw Daniel, who was thin and indifferent, they were very surprised.

His hands fluttered deftly on the black and white keys, his expression focused and serene—there must have been no war yet, and the station was in order.

The sudden sound of cannons opened the prelude to this story - the Nazis came, carrying disaster and bad luck.

After a flurry of panic, the camera turns to the Spearman family—a silhouette of thousands of Warsaw families, in a hurry. But this is a bit unexpected. If the director wants to get a head start, according to the Hollywood standard of war history films, it should be a large-scale bombing, countless planes and tanks, and extras in military uniforms. But "The Pianist" doesn't, it cuts so easily into a family that feels fairly secure.

Two younger sisters, a younger brother, an elegant mother, and an elderly father.

This was Spearman's family until she fell apart, and at the moment, they were still excited about Britain and France's declaration of war on Nazi Germany.

Few of the moviegoers here are not feeling sad - they don't know that all this can't change their future.

Then, they started a ridiculous, even messy discussion, how to hide the extra money and the gold watch - what a lively scene.

Right off the bat, Polanski delivers the most poignant irony - not all Poles are heroes, all refugees, all poor people, and some, they'll put a sign on the door of Warsaw Radio, "Jews" Not allowed inside."

"They're going to be purer Nazis than Nazis!"

The cold knife of this movie shows a hint of cold light here.

The plot starts to move in a big way - Jewish signs, humiliated old Spearman, ghetto.

In Harvey Weinstein's view, the film did infiltrate his heart unknowingly, but it wasn't enough for him to get involved - he just felt that Daniel's performance was a bit dull, the opening 15 minutes, although everyone It's obvious who is the protagonist, but Spearman is just a decoration in the picture of the times.

If this is the case, then it may not be so wise for Daniel to act in it. As for fighting for more things, the difficulty will naturally increase exponentially.

For the next ten minutes, the movie was still in series with Spearman, showing the rules of survival in this era. Some people are still intoxicated~www.novelmt.com~ Others have no dignity. Know that the progress comes after 25 minutes.

A kid who crawled back from outside the quarantine area - he got something back from outside, maybe from a relative or friend of the family outside.

But, he should have been discovered by the Gestapo.

When Spearman dragged this little body out of the hole in the wall, he was breathless and his face was bruised.

In the dim light of Warsaw, the dim yellow street light behind them divided Spearman's face into three shadows, one yellowish, one bluish white, and one pitch black.

Click!

Harvey felt like he heard the crack in his expression, in the light and shadow on his face.

The dullness and dissociation of the first 25 minutes were all broken into reality in this sound. (To be continued)
