Chapter 487 487

The movie ended, and the curtain came to an end with the sad and quiet sound of the piano. Looking at the big screen that was plunged into black and white again, all the audience seemed to have lost their voices. There was only silence, the slow and heavy silence.

There was no sound at all in the whole movie theater. This kind of silence made people breathless. Don't you like this movie? Could it be that this movie has not been able to touch the emotions of the audience? This kind of depression seems to be contagious, making everyone in the cinema space hold their breath and dare not act rashly, lest one breath of their own will disrupt the solemn silence of the entire scene.

This is not the first time Hugo has watched "Schindler's List", but it is the first time that he has watched this work in a movie theater. For three full hours, Hugo was not an actor, just a most ordinary audience watching this epic masterpiece.

The story begins with colored candlelight and falls into black and white. Even the sudden red can't illuminate that heavy world; until the end of the story, all the colors are lit up little by little, and the familiar The world of color returned to the screen again, and then calmed down, leaving only black and white.

This is not just a movie, but also a piece of history, a blood-soaked history that can’t bear to look back. It hit the inner soft underbelly violently and heavily, without exception, because in the face of history, everyone is a unique A grain of dust, and the tragic massacre that broke out in the Second World War made all languages ​​pale, just like the black and white of the big screen, making the world bleak.

This isn't the first time Hugo has watched "Schindler's List." However, the shock in his heart still defeated all of Hugo's defenses without any suspense, and the dullness that could not be expressed made it difficult to breathe. Tears did not fall, but the heavy heart made no sound come out from the throat.

This is the power of film.

Not only Hugo, but all audiences in the entire cinema. At this moment, there is no difference between ordinary audiences and reporters, and there is no difference between ordinary audiences and industry insiders. Everyone is the same. In such a historical truth In front of them, everyone is an ordinary person, and everyone has similar feelings.

They were quiet, not because they didn't like movies, but because their hearts were turbulent, but they couldn't express their emotions in accurate words, so they could only stare at the movie screen as the screen dimmed a little, and the subtitles of the cast list began to slide over. , they need time to settle their thoughts, they need space to recall the story, except for silence, it is still silent, but the stormy waves in their minds have already shattered the whole world.

The melodious piano sound reverberated in the cinema, but no one made a sound, and no one even moved. The original scene where everyone could not wait to leave the scene when the subtitles rolled at the end of the movie was gone. At the end of the premiere, the audience praised or praised. Or the swearing scene was gone, and the whole scene fell into a mournful and profound silence, a silence that, like Oskar Schindler's tombstone, lay silently in the dark, But the spirit and energy radiated out are enough to dispel the darkness of the whole world.

Silence is sometimes more powerful than noise; silence is sometimes more colorful than praise; silence is sometimes more profound than thinking. Right now, that's it.

The melodious piano sound gradually rose and became louder. The force that was enough to solidify the air was like a boulder pressing on everyone's chest, and then the breathing became more and more rapid and difficult. Finally, someone couldn't help it. The first one stood up abruptly and tried to break the heaviness with some movements, but found that the suffocating grief still remained unrelieved, so he raised his hands involuntarily and slammed them together. , the collision between the palms and the palms caused a burst of pain, which made the brain gradually clear, so the strength and frequency of the blows with both hands began to increase, and the applause began to reverberate empty and distant, and the inner emotions were released little by little. .

With the first one, there will be a second one. Soon, the crowd stood up in pieces, and finally the audience stood up collectively, vigorously stirring their hands, and the applause gradually gathered, from small to large. , and finally evolved into thunderous applause, turning the entire dark cinema into a stormy scene. The applause swept in like a tsunami, echoing a long-lasting echo.

The pain caused by the applause released all the emotions, and the emotions that had been suppressed for three hours were fully vented at this moment, and everyone applauded more and more vigorously and excitedly. The hot eyes were filled with crystal tears, and it was not until this moment that the tears burst out frantically, and a hazy halo bloomed on the eyelashes and cheeks. A hazy halo covered the dark theater, and then the smile on the corner of the mouth bloomed proudly in tears.

There was a crisp sound, and the lights of the cinema finally turned on, and the warm and creamy yellow halo fell down, accompanied by applause to disperse the darkness little by little, the thick black slowly faded like a tide, and the light finally came! At this moment, the applause pushed to a brand new climax, and the roar that kept echoing kept pounding inside the cinema, as if it was shaking like an earthquake. The entire building of the National Theater, in an instant, I don't know whether it is the shock of the soul shaking, or the whole world is truly shaking.

The applause from all sides hit Hugo's eyes without warning, and warm tears immediately wrapped the entire eyes, and the tears fell fiercely.

This kind of touching is brought about by the movie, which made Hugo deeply feel the reason why he fell in love with the movie at the beginning, just like music, because they all have the energy that deeply penetrates the heart, shakes the heart, and evokes echoes, and that little bit of resonance It made the spiritual world extremely satisfying; this kind of touching was also brought by the audience, which made Hugo firmly believe that he had made the most correct choice. He wanted to be part of such an excellent film, moving the audience, entertaining the audience, It's enough to shock the audience, let the audience draw emotions from the film, maybe sadness, maybe happiness, maybe joy.

Therefore, at this moment, the powerful applause filled Hugo's entire heart, making him feel the satisfaction of being on the stage of the Hollywood Bowl last night again, and his heart was trembling slightly. An unparalleled feeling worth remembering forever. How lucky Hugo is to be a part of "Schindler's List"; he is even more fortunate that he has the opportunity to realize his dream of film and music!

Hugo wiped the endless tears from his eyes in embarrassment, turned his head to look over, but found that the crew members sitting beside him were wiping tears in a panic, and Steven Spielberg buried his head even more. Between his knees, his entire shoulders were trembling slightly. Even at these two positions, Hugo could feel Steven's uncontrollable emotion and excitement at this moment. During the filming of the film , all the pressure, all the heaviness, was completely vented at this moment.

Seemingly infected by Steven, the figures of Regina Perlman and Ludger Leopold reappeared in Hugo's mind, those faces that had grown old because of the passage of time, It clearly tells about the history of Oscar Schindler, and Hugo is experiencing the whole process of the role of Amon Goss. It is dark and struggling, terrible and contradictory. Tears burst again.

Producer Kathleen Kennedy looked back at the audience with a collective standing ovation. She knew that the audience loved the film, which was the biggest affirmation of the crew, and now, it was the crew's turn to express their gratitude. So, Catherine gave Steven a big hug, then wiped the tears from her cheeks, hugged Steven and tried to stand up, but unfortunately Steven waved his hand and still buried his head between his knees.

Steven said something to Catherine in a low voice, and Catherine immediately stood up and walked towards the other members of the crew, hugging each member of the crew and making everyone stand up.

Hugo was no exception. He wiped the hot tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, stood side by side with Liam, looked back at the neatly standing and applauded figure behind him, and then joined the rest of the crew and walked to the big stage together. Right in front of the screen was baptized with applause from the audience.

Standing in front of the big screen, everyone in the entire crew also applauded, not to join the audience's applause, but because only Steven was left sitting in the same place, still sorting out his emotions, the crew is now in The high respect for the director was expressed with applause.

Steven immediately felt the swarming applause. He knew that this moment belonged to him, so he hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeve, then took a deep breath and stood up directly, and then moved towards the scene. The clapping crew walked away. When Steven walked into the crew and turned around, the applause of the audience reached a climax again, this time to the crew and the director.

Steven led the entire crew to bow deeply together, expressing his gratitude to the audience with this most direct action, and the audience was even more excited when they saw the crew bending down and bowing in front of them. The tsunami of applause turned the premiere of "Schindler's List" into a feast!

For seven minutes, this continuous applause lasted for seven minutes, and the whole was in the middle. The National Theater is like the center of the world.
