2062 [To East Germany]

Roberto Benini was very excited after receiving the script.

He had only read the story summary before, and many details were not portrayed, especially the final outcome was not written, which made him miss him all the time. I wonder if the father finally escaped and how he ended this "game" with his son.

So after he got the script, he immediately started to read it with love.

When he read the script, he smiled first, and then his face became heavy, but he showed a smile from time to time. Until finally, his smile disappeared, his eyes were wet, and tears as big as beans fell from the man's face. He cried silently, with the expression on his face extremely sad.

It was not surprising that summer saw this scene. In fact, every time he watched the movie "Beautiful Life", he always laughed first and then cried, and was moved to tears.

Roberto Benini himself is a man of sorrow, and his father was once locked up in concentration camps, so when he saw this story, his emotional resonance was deeper than summer, which was really normal.

"Mr. Benini, please feel sorry for the war," he took out his tissue and comforted softly.

"Thank you." Benini took the tissue and wiped away his tears. "Mr. Xia, your script is so well written, I am so touched."

"Thank you for your approval." Xia Tian nodded, "Since that's the case, I will hand it over to you to make it according to the previous agreement."

"Okay." Roberto Benini nodded, "To be honest, seeing that your script is so well written, I am a little worried now if I can shoot it."

"If that's the case, I can invite other directors to direct it." Xia Tian suggested, "For example, Stephen Spielberg, who is also a silly sect, what do you think?"

"No, I'll just direct it." Roberto Benini immediately changed his words when he heard this.

Such a good story can be said to be hard to find for a director in his life. If he could have such an excellent work in his acting career, it would be worthwhile in his life. How could he give such a good script to others?

"Since that's the case, that's it. This movie is directed and self-acted by you. As for the specific shooting, I will ask Columbia Pictures to follow up." Xia Tian nodded.

Although he and Roberto Benini have reached an agreement, it is not a joke or a matter of just a few words to make a movie.

How to shoot a movie, how much money is needed, how long the production cycle, box office distribution, etc., these are all things that need to be considered. However, in summer, they will naturally not worry about these trivial matters, and they will leave them all to Columbia Pictures for management.

Columbia Pictures has invested in filming abroad, and has rich experience in this, with complete rules and procedures. It can not only guarantee the interests of the summer, but also ensure the smooth completion of the film. It is perfect to leave it to them to be responsible.

Roberto Benini also nodded, and had no objection to this.

...

Xia Tian then called Long Mayer and asked him to send someone to take over the matter.

In addition, the great beauty Monica Bellucci also rushed from the United States to Berlin to accompany Summer. After filming "Mulholland Road", she did not make new films, but kept taking tutoring classes and learning acting skills.

"Mr. Xia, the Berlin Film Festival has ended for a week, why are you still here?" Monica Beluch asked curiously after meeting.

Logically speaking, Xia Tian should have gone back after the Berlin Film Festival. But not only did he not leave, he also asked her to come and accompany him, which was a bit abnormal.

"Of course I have something to do if I stay." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "Let me go to a place tomorrow."

"Where do you go?" Monica Bellucci asked in confusion.

"East Germany." Xia Tian said immediately.

"East Germany?" Monica Bellucci was stunned, "What are you doing there?"

"Of course it's a purpose. Now you don't need to ask too much, you will know naturally then." Xia Tian smiled mysteriously.

...

The next day, Xia Tian took Monica Beluch, Wang Baoshen and his assistant to East Germany together.

When he came to Berlin last year, the east side of the Berlin Wall was still defended by live ammunition soldiers. Not to mention people, even a bird might not fly over.

However, after a year, when you come here again, you can find that the Berlin Wall has been in name only. The personnel exchanges on both sides are very close, and they are almost unimpeded. Even checking the passport is done on superficial things.

After Xia Tian and others checked their passports, they successfully entered East German territory and encountered no resistance.

After entering East Germany, I observed the surrounding area in summer and found that although East Berlin and West Berlin were only separated by a wall, the difference was still very obvious.

The most prominent example is that there are many propaganda placards on both sides of the streets in East Berlin, and there are super large propaganda posters on the walls, which makes people stroll through it, which makes people feel like time and space travel.

"Brother Shen, are you very familiar with these~" Xia Tian smiled.

Wang Baoshen nodded. Although he couldn't understand the slogans and posters, this style was very familiar to him, and he really felt like he was back in the mainland twenty years ago.

"Mr. Xia, do you think East Germany will really merge with West Germany?" Wang Baoshen asked curiously.

"It should be right. The two countries belong to the same country, but they were artificially divided because of the war. This is like a mother and compatriots. Although they are separated, they are connected by blood after all, and they are still a family." Xia Tian explained, "A family will eventually come back together."

"Then is the new country after the merger xxism or capitalism?" Wang Baoshen asked in confusion again.

"Of course it's capitalism. East Germany is far inferior to West Germany in terms of economy. It is said to be merged, but it is actually annexed." Xia Tian explained, "In this world, whoever has a big fist will have the right to speak. West Germany is so much stronger than East Germany, and in terms of the regime, it is naturally dominated by West Germany."

"In that case, the xxist camp will not lose another big country." After hearing Xia Tian's explanation, Wang Baoshen said with regret.

When Xia Tian heard him say this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that Wang Baoshen would still express such emotion.

But when he thought about it, he understood a little. Wang Baoshen grew up in the mainland and received xxism education since he was a child. Therefore, he has a good impression of East Germany and firmly believes in xxism.

It is understandable that he is unable to accept the fact that East Germany, which pursues xxism, is annexed by West Germany, which pursues capitalism. In fact, the disintegration of the Soviet Union was also a sensation in the world and shocked many Chinese people.
