Spielberg was stunned for a full five minutes until Adrian tentatively called his name, after which he snapped back to reality and hurriedly grabbed a piece of paper and a pen to start writing, "Brilliant! Ed! Your idea is brilliant! Yes, a striking symbolic red, the only color in the entire movie! You're a genius!"
Adrian opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Spielberg's excitement, he ultimately didn't say it.
"Yes, just like that, you've solved a big problem, Ed! Truly, you are Hollywood's finest screenwriter," Spielberg said with a beaming smile as he looked at the hastily scribbled words he had written.
"It's what I should do," Adrian shrugged, "Anything else?"
"Yes, there are a few more matters," Spielberg quickly responded, regaining his composure, "about casting, location scouting, and costume and prop design, I think it's necessary to discuss these with you."
