While they were chatting, the servant suddenly ushered in Jonathan Demi.

"Jonathan, we happened to be talking about you. Roger's star is completed, and you are coming..."

"Of course, I will definitely attend...I'm here to ask you for another thing..."

"Okay, I'll leave first..." Roger Coleman was about to leave, but was stopped by Demi, "Roger, please give me some advice, what should I do?"

It turned out that Jonathan Demme's "Philadelphia Story" encountered a lot of resistance. His favorite from the beginning was Irish actor Daniel Day-Lewis, who has recently acted in several influential films (

The actor of "Love in Prague, Room with a View, etc." is very popular in Hollywood.

He has participated in movies that have high requirements for the inner performance of the characters. He is particularly good at using movements and expressions to lead the audience to experience the inner activities of the characters. Some people even praise him as the Laurence Olivier of the new era.

It just so happened that Daniel Day-Lewis was also very thin, which was more in line with the condition of the sick protagonist, so Jonathan Demme's first choice was him.

But Daniel Day-Lewis, whom he had met once and had a good conversation with, coldly rejected the role two days later. He didn't even give a reason. It was just that Richard learned through information channels that he would take the role.

Next work.

"Are you afraid of controversy?" Ronald was unhappy. Back then, Roger Corman made so many films on controversial social topics. I wonder what this great expert has to say?

"I have directed more than two hundred films and produced many more. The only one that did not make any money was the apartheid film 'Invaders.' I can only say that the only directorial work I am proud of is also this one.

, because none of the major Hollywood studios at that time had the courage to touch on this kind of subject..."

Ronald and Jonathan Demme looked at each other. Come on, Roger Coleman is also an old hippie with a fiery heart. He actually encouraged them to not worry about losing money for their ideals. This is a very rare thing.

"I have thought for a long time that we might have to hide him in this movie..."

In the evening, after Ronald made several phone calls and had long conversations with several friends, he came back to communicate with Demi.

Although Daniel Day-Lewis appears in Hollywood as an Irishman, his mother is actually Jewish. So whether he is considered Irish or Jewish is a very changing thing.

This time he gave up the Philadelphia story and took on the movie that dealt with the theme of the Irish Republican Army. So whether it was because of the attraction of his father's ethnic group or because of his maternal ethnic group that made him reject Ronald's project, it is unclear.

That’s easy to say.

Jonathan Demme was also frustrated. He didn't expect that there would be such strong opposition to the film before it even started filming. "How to hide it?" he asked.

"We will keep it secret from now on. Most people will not see the whole script. We will just say it is a movie about lawyers."

"Is this possible? At least Daniel Day-Lewis already knows."
