Hollywood New Century

On the outskirts of Berlin, Germany, on the set of the film "Life and Death," Simon Parker chats with Anthony Minghella, one of the producers, about the film.

"With such powerful actors as Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes, and the background of the trauma of World War II, the tone of the film is gray. From the beginning of shooting, our film has received a lot of attention!" Anthony Minghella said with a smile, after all the novel was very popular before.

Simon looked at the film shooting schedule in his hand, and is currently filming the scene where the heroine undergoes a public trial in her old age.

The heroine was a prison guard in a Jewish concentration camp during World War II, and she concealed her experience after the war. He then develops an affair with a student, and the student, who becomes a historian many years later, recognizes the old white-haired woman in the courtroom as his lover.

"According to the current progress, it is still not possible to close the film by the end of the year," Simon asked. It turns out that Kate Winslet still has some additional scenes in "Revolutionary Road".

Anthony Minghella shook his head and explained: "This film, our shooting requirements are very high, the story itself is good, but it also needs to be carefully crafted!"

"Also, we shoot in German and English, and a lot of historical research, we all hope to restore history."

Simon nodded, a literary film, this film was ready to hit the Oscars from the start.

"You don't have to worry about the release time of the movie. The German side is in charge of the co-producer Constantine Pictures, and the North American side will soon have a distributor to take over." Simon now needs to appease Anthony Minghella and the others. After the film is shot Of course it's going to be released.

"I understand, don't worry, there will be no problems in film production, and I also believe in Xinghai Pictures' ability in terms of distribution," Anthony Minghella said. Xinghai Pictures is an investor after all. Tens of millions of dollars in ashes in the warehouse?

"By the way, because the dialogue of our film is also a German film, we have also applied for the EU Film Fund and the German Federal Film Fund at the same time, and I believe they will all pass," Anthony Minghella, as a producer, must of course work **** the film budget .

"I still missed the best film tax rebate policy in Germany, but it's okay, the film fund supports, the consumption tax rebate!" Simon nodded, plus the full support of the German local Konstantin Films, not bad.

As the capital of Germany, it is the political, economic, and cultural center and the largest city. The economy of Berlin and even the whole of Germany is very developed, especially the high-precision manufacturing industry, which is also a housekeeping skill.

In the evening, Simon returned to the Holiday Inn Berlin Pressure Mountain near the pressure mountain square in downtown Berlin.

Sarah Bradna was in Munich, and she stopped by when Simon came to Berlin. After all, after meeting through Diane Kruger in New York, the two haven't seen each other for a while.

"Simon, there are many good theaters and museums here in Berlin. They have a lot of history. Do you want to go shopping?" Sarah Bradna, 180 cm, hugged Simon from behind and asked coquettishly.

"Brandenburg Gate, Friedrich Palace Theater, Berlin Cathedral, these?" Simon smiled, not interested, and there are too many Jewish museums, Jewish monuments or cemeteries in Berlin, which Simon doesn't like.

I feel depressed. The Mossad, a Jewish spy organization, does not know how many people who were disgraced in those days were assassinated. Now Germany has a good attitude towards Jews.

"Well, do you want to go to the theater? Our German local musical is also very good," Sarah Bradner was originally in Munich, and Simon came to Berlin immediately after arriving in Germany.

"Okay, to be honest, I don't feel anything about Berlin," Simon turned around, kissed the **** the face, and continued:

"Frankfurt is Germany's largest financial center, and Hamburg is Germany's largest port city. It seems that Munich's population should be second only to Berlin and Hamburg. It is the third largest city in Germany. In fact, I am interested in Munich after all!"

"Really? Our Munich is the largest city in southern Germany, and retains many of the quaint customs of the original capital of Bavaria," Sarah Bradna was born in Munich and just went to university in Munich, of course she is familiar with it.

"I know Munich because of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga," Simon responded with a smile, the Bundesliga squad!

"Bayern Munich, I've always been a fan of it," Sarah Bradner said excitedly. Simon Parker, as an American, also likes to watch football.

"Simon, I start school at the beginning of next month, how long will you stay in Germany?" Of course Sarah Bradna wanted to spend more time with Simon. As a fashion model, Yu and Simon spend time together in public and private. good for yourself.

"Later this month, I'll accompany you on a trip to Munich in a few days," Simon said, looking out the window at the TV tower on the edge of the pressure mountain square, soaring into the clouds.

That is the tallest building in Berlin, but it is only 368 meters high, and there are few skyscrapers in the urban layout.

"The Bundesliga has played a few rounds, and we can go to the Allianz Arena to watch a game," Sarah Bradna seemed to be looking forward to.

"Munich Allianz Arena, the opening ceremony stadium of the World Cup in Germany last year, a new stadium that was opened in 2005, that stadium is good!" Simon really thinks that the Munich Allianz Arena is very well designed, and even the appearance of the stadium is very suitable for him. taste.

Bayern Munich is a football team that Simon knows, Deutsche Telekom, Allianz Insurance, Adidas, and Audi all hold shares in some teams.

"Ah, Simon, you know Bayern Munich very well," Sarah Bradner was indeed surprised.

Simon smiled, sat on the sofa, and pulled Sarah Bradner into his arms. The figure of the German supermodel is really speechless.

"By the way, your work should often go to Paris, New York, Milan and other cities for catwalk shows." Simon still knows about the four fashion capitals, but London was selectively ignored by Simon.

Sarah Bradna, who was in Simon's arms, nodded and said: "Fortunately, my main job is in Germany now, after all, I still have to go to school!"

"Also, I'll take you to Venice in two days, and take a look at the film festival there. It's considered a vacation, and then I'll go directly to Munich to watch a game at the Allianz Arena," Simon told Sarah Bullard. Na is still good, 19 years old, the age of the rainy season!
