1.1305 Another version of "Gone with the Wind"

In the two quiet "passenger carriages", the actors who stayed behind are concentrated on reading the newly unpacked script - "The Great Battle".

This is the most important "Script Seminar" before the filming of the movie nowadays. So actors and creators participate together to analyze the characters in the play, understand the plot conflicts, accurately shape the characters, and make full preparations for the filming.

Although the whole article is German, the script of "The Great Battle" is written in black and white. Of course, it is not the original plot of the plot line of the exclusive branch of the battlefield girl Danielle and her Times Relatives and Friends Group. The script's duplication is just a coincidence.

However, everyone, including Danielle, a battlefield girl who did her homework when she arrived, read another meaning. Could it be that the plot counterattack has already happened?

"I'll talk first." French legendary female star Josephine Baker first broke the silence: "Why is Sicily?"

"The inspiration for the creation of "The Great Battle" originated from a private exchange between "several friends" not long ago." The screenwriter who personally participated in the script creation answered very seriously: "Our common interest is: Where will the next Great Battle happen?"

"So, you think it's here." French legendary female star Josephine Baker pointed to the soles of her feet.

"No, if I can, I hope (the next 'big battle') will never happen. So to be precise, the script of "big battle" is the harvest of that exchange." The screenwriter avoided the realistic topics he did not want to participate in.

"Ah, some of the 'some friends' who participated in 'private communication' think that's here." In the current environment, the screenwriter's necessary caution in his creation made the French legendary female star Josephine Baker very satisfied.

"Why are we filming a war that didn't happen?" Out of equal caution, Czechoslova actress Lida Balova followed suit: "Will this cause unnecessary trouble?"

"Movies are the art of light and shadow. They are far more magical than reality. As for 'trouble', I can assure you and all the actors here that they will never attract you. Look, we are sitting on the head of state's special train to discuss 'trouble'." The screenwriter's sense of boundaries is very clear.

"Hahaha..." So this German humor made everyone laugh.

"I have a question about the filming." German female star Anelise Ackerman expressed herself in time: "Too many war scenes will weaken the character portrayal."

"Ms., I promise you that war is only part of the movie. Love is always the core of the creation." The screenwriter also thought of it.

"Ah, it's another version of "Gone with the Wind." Someone has already exclaimed.

"Gone with the Wind", released in the United States on September 9, 1939, is adapted from the best-selling novel "Gone with the Wind", which broke all the publication records at that time, and was released in the first six months. The highest volume was sold for 50,000 copies in one day. Each book was priced from $3 to $60. It tells the love story between Scarlett, the daughter of Tara Manor and the elegant businessman Breed after the outbreak of the Civil War in the United States. This filmed in 1939, lasting nearly 4 hours. After 80 years of films, "Gone with the Wind" topped the box office with a total box office of $3.44 billion. In 1998, it was ranked fourth in the 100 greatest movies of the 20th century by the American Film Society.

"It can be understood this way, it's absolutely fine." The screenwriter seemed relieved to hear "another version of "Gone with the Wind". With a reference that has been proven to be a success, artistic creation will be safer.

Confronting the female reporter's eyes, the battlefield girl Danielle immediately woke up. This is a script of "play in the play". Rather than filming "Gone with the Wind" belonging to the Third Reich. It is better to say that it is a reasonable mobilization of the defenders stationed in Sicily under the name of filming a movie. The purpose of this is to "knock the mountain and shake the tiger". The Allies, which had just won the North African battle, dare not act rashly.

Moreover, under the pretext of making movies, we mobilized and commanded the defenders so that all the Nazi leaders, including Marshal Albert Kesselin, the commander-in-chief of the German Southern Front, who "will believe that the Italians will fight to defend the motherland. As long as there is a small amount of German troops and equipment to help, the Italians can defend the enemy outside the country" can actually observe the combat power of the Italian Coast Division.

During the filming of "fake plays and real things", taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and change their coaches to seize power may also be one of many purposes.

It's indeed a wonderful idea.

By the way, the masterpiece "Escape from Tehran" adapted from the real incident of rescuing hostages under the name of filming is not without precedent.

What a good guy. He is worthy of being the head of the Third Reich who is very happy with me. He really does a lot of similar things.

In 1934, Leni, a famous German female director

Riefenstahl was invited to film "The Victory of Will". The film was conceived by the Nazis and sponsored by the Third Reich, recording the meetings, rallies and parades of the Nazi peak. To cooperate with the shooting, the empire provided unlimited funds, a crew of more than 100 people, countless spotlights, sixteen top-notch photographers, thirty cameras, twenty-two driver-equipped cars and uniformed mobile police officers. This huge and luxurious filming team, coupled with the creativity and aesthetic concept of Riefenstahl's genius, presented the most perfect and controversial masterpiece to film history. "The Victory of Will" is known as the "most authoritative promotional film" and won the Best Documentary Award for the Venice Film Festival and the Paris Film Festival in 1935. It made Lenny Riefenstahl one of the greatest female directors in film history.

Do you think this is the only one?

"The Victory of Faith" in 1933, "Day of Freedom: Our Defense Forces" in 1935, "Olympia 1: National Festival" in 1938, "Olympia 2: The Festival of Beauty". Leni Rivenstaer's quartet of the Third Reich were all born under the concept of "unlimited funding" by the head of state!

"I'm very curious, who is the director?" The female reporter Lisa couldn't help but be curious.

"A talented Italian director from Venice: Giovanni Tinto Brass," said the screenwriter released the director's resume for the first time on the slide.

"..." Compared to the people in the play, Danielle, a battlefield girl who did her homework when she came, recognized the photo of this "famous director" at a glance. It is the famous "It's no big deal to expose your butt, it's a natural thing" - Tinto Brass!

He played an Italian director in "The Black Angel". He still has no signature!

"This is indeed another version of "Gone with the Wind." German female star Anelise Ackerman couldn't help but feel inspired.

"Yes." Czechoslova actress Lida Balova, who had carefully read the director's resume, nodded seriously: "War, spy, singing and dancing, and indispensable love."

"I'm just worried that this Venetian (non-famous) director who was highly recommended by the Italian film minister can control our "Big Battle"." Lisa, the knowledgeable female reporter, just right, interjected, diverted everyone's attention.
