Chapter 101 Arrival in Poland

After staying in London for a few days, Ryan originally planned to have a tour with Natalie, but a large number of reporters gathered at the door of the villa every day. If you want to travel, then wait for them to harasse.

The two simply stayed in the villa and studied their roles in "Schindler's List". Natalie played the surviving girl, and Ryan's role was the Jewish handyman shot by Amon Gauss.

They exchanged a lot of views on each other's roles. Ryan's views on that history mostly came from his previous lives. Natalie was different. Unlike Ryan, she was not only part of Jewish descent. She was a pure Jewish person and had enough knowledge of the history that her nation was most sad.

Ryan didn't know the grievances and grievances among these Western nations, but some of his appearance had determined what some people think of him. Anti-Semitism organizations are not uncommon in North America, and he also needs his own alliance.

The influence of the National Jewish Association cannot be underestimated. Since the day he decided to intervene in "Schindler's List", he has actually made a choice, and he can only make this choice.

My best friend was a Jew. Dean Katie, who had been taking care of him secretly, was still a pure Jew. Since the day he published his first story, he has actually been entangled in a Jewish network.

After leaving the airport, Ryan found the vehicle that the crew came to pick up people. Compared with the bustling London, Poland had just experienced a huge change, poor and deserted, and both inside and outside the airport seemed dilapidated.

Also, the weather is full of spring at the end of February. It is still in the cold winter. Scattered snowflakes will fall from time to time in the gloomy sky.

Ryan was afraid of the cold, very afraid of the cold. As soon as he got off the plane, he put on a thick down jacket, a cotton-lined hat, and even a pair of black leather gloves on his hand. In the words Natalie teased him, he was almost like a polar bear.

There were not many people in the group, only Natalie and her daughter, Jinslie and George...

The weather is not as exaggerated as Ryan, at most it is about ten degrees Fahrenheit, but he has lived in the warm Los Angeles most of his life and is really uncomfortable with the cold. In contrast, Natalie just has a thick coat on the online shirt.

"Hello, Ryan, welcome to Krakow."

Walking to the car, they were met by acquaintances, Marek Brosky, one of Stephen Spielberg's assistants.

Both sides made a brief introduction, got on a large station wagon and left the airport.

"Ryan, go to the hotel first, or go to the set?" asked Marek.

After asking for Natalie's opinion, Ryan said, "Let's go to the set first. It's so cold. Will it not affect the shooting?"

"It's much better now," Marek sat in front and turned around and said, "Last month, the highest temperature in Krakow was only around zero degrees Fahrenheit, and even some of the sets we prepared were frozen and cracked."

"Ryan, is it that cold?" Seeing Ryan shivering, Natalie simply took off his cotton cap. "There is air conditioner in the car. Be careful, otherwise you will catch a cold when you go out."

The car did not enter Krakow, and went around toward the set built outside the city. Ryan talked to Marek from time to time and found out about the situation of the crew.

After the New Year, Stephen Spielberg led the entire team to Poland and began the preliminary preparations in the face of unfavorable conditions such as the cold. Fortunately, he had been planning for this movie for nearly ten years, and in fact, many jobs had already been ahead.

For example, contact the surviving Jews on Schindler's list and their descendants and invite them to participate in the shooting.

Not only that, the crew also recruited a large number of descendants of Polish Jews as extras. In order to collect the costumes of nearly 20,000 extras, the prop group had to post advertisements to find the old clothes of the year. Fortunately, Poland's economy was backward, and many people were eager to sell their old clothes from the 1930s to 1940s in their homes.

After listening to Ryan's original suggestion, Spielberg not only asked Steven Zelian to revise the script, but also gave up the intention of shooting in German and Polish.

Despite the intense preparations in the early stage, Spielberg decided to start the filming officially on March 1st. He must reserve enough shooting time for himself, otherwise it would be a huge trouble if he could not complete the location shooting before July.

Fortunately, many unfinished scenes can be built while shooting.

The car quickly arrived at the destination. Through the distance, Ryan could already see through the car window that a busy town stood on the wilderness plain in the distance, perhaps the construction site was more suitable.

"Wait, Ryan!"

Just as he was about to get out of the car, Natalie spoke, took his forgotten cotton thread hat in her hand, carefully put it on Ryan's head, and carefully wrapped his ears into it.

Mrs. Shelley took all this and sighed secretly. Since the two children met in New York, they have been together for most of the time. Even if there are disputes from time to time, no matter who they are, they can see their deep friendship, and they are getting older and older...

"Thank you, Nat!"

Repaying his favor, Ryan will also help Natalie tidy up the scarf.

Dozens of large trailers were parked in front, and a large number of sets and simple wooden houses had been built on a considerable scale. Many extras in old clothes and German uniforms were carrying out some basic exercises under the leadership of several deputy directors.

If it weren't for the staff who were interspersed with them, as well as equipment such as railcar cameras, it would give people the feeling of traveling back to World War II.

Strictly speaking, it was the first time that Natalie came to such a large-scale movie set, and she couldn't help but be curious. She opened her big eyes and patrolled around, and asked some questions from time to time.

However, in addition to performance and scripts, Ryan is completely a layman in props, shooting, arrangement, etc., and Natalie asked a few words and was speechless.

"You are indeed a fool." In the end, Natalie gave him a disdainful look.

"Come on, Nat." Ryan waved his hand in dissatisfaction, "I'm just an actor, not a director, what do I do with these things."

Under the leadership of Marek, several people quickly found Spielberg. He was discussing something with the props master, and after seeing him, he just nodded slightly.

Ryan and his friends simply waited aside and watched the extras running around under the command of the deputy director, and filming was about to start. No matter how professional they had, they could at least become qualified live props.

"Hi, Ryan." Spielberg walked over, with unconcealed fatigue, and the beard on his face was extremely messy.

"Hello, Stephen," Ryan introduced him, "This is Natalie Heshler, born in Jerusalem, my good friend, and a very good actor."

"Hello, Miss Heshler."

Perhaps because of the same Jewish relationship, Spielberg was very friendly and asked a few questions about her role.

Natalie had already done her homework and answered without any loss. Spielberg kept nodding.

"Ryan, you must have read the script." He asked again.

"Yes." Ryan nodded, and he naturally understood what the other party meant, "Stephen, this is your work, and I have said all the opinions I can come up with at Universal Studios."

"Well, Ryan, would you please come up with it in time if you have any ideas? No need to be modest, we all know how great you are."

"I will."

After talking to him for a few more words, Spielberg started to be busy again, asking his assistant to take Ryan and his group to get along and get to know each other, and then go back to the hotel.

I walked around the set. Although the filming has not officially started yet, the atmosphere on the set is a bit depressing. After all, this theme is too heavy. In addition, everyone has been traveling a long distance and the weather is cold, so I quickly went to the hotel where the crew stayed.

This is the best hotel in Krakow, but it is restricted by the local economy and the conditions are really simple. Everyone else went back to the room to get the jet lag. Natalie slept all the way on the plane, but at this time she became excited and got together with Ryan and started talking.

"So, you have given a lot of opinions on the script and was adopted by Mr. Spielberg?" Natalie was a little curious. Why could this guy get a kick everywhere?

"Yes. I made a few small opinions...well, like the little girl who prompted Schindler to make a change."

Natalie looked at him squintedly and didn't speak for a long time. Now it was Ryan's turn to be curious, "What are you doing?"

"nothing."

"Then why do you look at me with such weird eyes?"

"It is said that staring at a person like this can see through his disguise. I want to see what is hidden in your soul, and that you can express your opinions on such serious and heavy subjects." Natalie became more and more curious about her friends. "Do you know, Ryan, if I were not a Jew, if my grandmother had not conveyed information to the Allies during World War II, I would not have taken the initiative to understand this history."

Ryan bared her teeth. She was obviously a cute little loli, but she wanted to look like a little adult, for fear that others would not know that she was smart and precocious.

"Hurry up, Ryan!" Natalie stood up from the sofa and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Because I have good historical achievements."

He started running the train, "Don't you know, Nat? The magical and great Ryan Jenkins knows everything and can do everything."
