[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

While writing the script while on vacation in Berlin, Joey also discussed the progress of the film with Hughes by the way.

After completing the script, she showed Hughes the script called "Booby Trap" for the first time. Because Hughes was very interested in the script, she stayed and waited for Joey to finish the script.

Hughes spent two days reading the script through and through, and then he found Joey.

This "Booby Trap" is adapted from real historical events.And it's a little-known history.

After the surrender of Nazi Germany in May 1945, a group of young German prisoners were handed over to Danish authorities, who forced a large number of German prisoners of war to clear landmines they had planted on Danish beaches during the war.According to historical records, more than 5 German prisoners cleared about 2000 million landmines with their bare hands, and more than half of them were killed or injured.

This history has also been adapted into movies, such as "Minefield" in 2015 in the future.

Joy's script was adapted from the notes of another female reporter at the time.

Grace, a British female reporter, was in charge of writing relevant materials and followed the demining force to the west coast of Denmark.She witnessed the German soldiers, most of whom were underage children, were forced to defuse landmines with their bare hands, and were bombed by landmines one by one and died.

During this process, her heart changed. From a person who hated Nazi Germany to the bone and believed that these children in Germany should atone for the crimes of Nazi Germany, her heart was gradually touched, and she began to Think those kids are innocent.

In the end, she couldn't bear this cruel way, and she escaped from the Danish military area with the only dozen or so children of the regiment she followed, and found Henry Dunant, who was considering formulating the "Geneva Convention", and finally in Thanks to the efforts of Henry Dunant, these children were lucky to be spared.

This is a heavy and sad script, because under the real historical facts, it will inevitably appear heavy and precipitated.But at the same time, it also provides a different angle that few people will touch.

That is to take the children of Germany, the defeated country, as a subjective point of view. After the defeat of the war, whether the lives of these children are worthless, and whether these children should be treated as demons because of the defeat.

Joy tried to add her own thinking into the script. Her focus was not on discussing the matter of "Don't let German children dig landmines, but let Danish children dig mines", but to arouse some other ideas from the public besides this. thinking, that is, anti-war, human nature, and self-salvation.

After Hughes finished reading the script, his first thought was that Joey had great ambitions. It could be seen that this script was different from "Lola". He Cheng's "potential script" that allows directors and actors to play a big role, then this "Thunder" is a real script that restricts actors and directors with a script that is very powerful and full of connotations. A typical award-winning script with a large layout.

It seems that this time, Joey's eyes have been directed at those old European awards.It seems that she still regretted that she missed the Caesar Award last time, but this time she is going all out to win a European award.

A playful chuckle curled the corner of Hughes' mouth. It seems that Joy's ambitions have really surpassed everyone's imagination. She doesn't just want to be a big Hollywood director, but also wants to make a name for herself in Europe. .

Well, since it is a movie that Joey is so ambitious to hit the traditional European awards, she will definitely be extra cautious about the choice of actors.

And this is a real heroine drama, just like "Lola", the heroine is going to make Joey a headache.

Hughes came to Joey with the script, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, with a casual look, "Unexpectedly, you actually wrote an anti-war film with a very different perspective. not from the position of the opponent, but from the position of the defeated Germany."

Joey looked at him seriously, and said in a tone full of professional knowledge and prudence: "You are wrong, I do not stand on the side of any country, my stand is anti-war, humanity, and redemption."

Hughes squinted his eyes and squinted at her, "This film is very similar to the type that European traditional awards would like. Of course, it is definitely not the type that Oscar would like, because this film has nothing to do with the United States."

Joy simply admitted, "It was originally prepared for the European awards. The Caesar Awards think that the layout of "Lola" is not as good as that of "Seraphina". Taste, in their eyes, war = big picture."

Hughes smiled subconsciously. He likes to see such a high-spirited Joy, which makes him feel that she is full of infinite possibilities, "Then you should be more careful in casting. Especially the role of the heroine, but Having said that, you plan to take the female lead movie path in the future? Starting from "Slumdog Millionaire", it seems that one after another of your films are all female leads?"

Joey smiled proudly: "I also plan to shoot the "Red, Green, and Blue Trilogy" in Europe! A trilogy of movies with a female perspective!"

Hughes was a little choked by Joey. He seemed unprepared, so he could only laugh a few times, "Red, green and blue trilogy? Are you sure it's not Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blue White Red" Trilogy?"

Joy explained: "Just kidding, it's just me calling it that... It's definitely not comparable to Master Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blue White Red Trilogy". But I think so Yes, if "Lola" is the crazy and gorgeous red, then Grace in "Boosting Mine" is the blue that symbolizes peace, calmness, depression and entanglement. As for green, we will talk about it later."

Hughes was indeed at times speechless about this woman who was full of wild ideas. He said: "Who do you think is suitable for the heroine Grace, who has complex emotions, a temperament with a bit of sadness and nervousness, an independent personality, and a human being. A calm and reserved female reporter?"

Joey closed his eyes and began to think quietly, "When I was writing the script, the image that came to mind was Isabelle Huppert."

Hughes joked slightly sarcastically: "You have a big appetite, and you will be a French national treasure actress."

Joey sighed helplessly, "No way, who made France, a capital of art full of art, give birth to so many outstanding actresses, Isabelle Adjani, Isabelle Huppert, Juliette Binoche, etc., They are all unforgettable women. It is a pity that they were all born in the 50s, which is too old for the protagonist of my movie."

Hughes frowned, "Isabelle Huppert is a bit in line with the heroine in your script. Her demeanor is calm, self-possessed and neurotic, which is more in line with Grace's nervousness and depression in the script. But age It's really too big, I suggest you go to Hollywood to find an actress with similar temperament."

Joey looked up and asked, "Do you have any comments?"

"Winona Ryder also has the kind of temperament you want to a certain extent, but I know you don't like it." Hughes proposed an optional character.

After listening to Joey, she smiled and shook her head, "Yeah, she's too angry... It's not like I can't invite other actors."

Hughes raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Your request is actually too much. In Hollywood, there are not many actresses whose temperament fully meets your expectations, because there are not many actresses with such temperament in Hollywood."

"It's a pity that all I can think of are already too old. Adjani and Huppert can do it when they were young. You know, the point of view of this movie is the same as "Lola". "I chose Eva not because of her good acting skills, but her temperament is unique, so it is the same in "Surprise Thunder", the heroine's temperament must also be one in a million, I must choose one with outstanding temperament , Of course, this time I also have to ask for superb acting skills."

Hughes patiently listened to Joey's explanation, then sat under the window sill and took out the lighter, and kept "clicking" and "clicking" it on fire.

After a long time, he suddenly said: "Before I came here, at a reception, I met a friend. She heard that you are preparing a new movie, so she came to me and said that she really wanted to be in your new movie." Movies, I don’t know if you are interested in her. I think she meets your requirements to a certain extent, whether it is age or professional level. Moreover, her temperament is a bit sad and neurotic, and that kind of depression entanglement, I think it is still It's perfect for Grace."

Joey's expression showed a hint of interest, "Oh? Then tell me, what do you mean, her acting skills must be guaranteed?"

Hughes chuckled, "Of course, she was an Oscar winner in 2003."

"I know who she is."
