"Since Director Li can make a Chinese comic like "That Rabbit", he is not interested in movies with the main theme?" Zhao Guangming looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi was startled for a moment, and then replied: "In fact, the success of "That Rabbit" has proved that the market for film and television works with theme themes is huge, so I think there is a lot of potential for movies with theme themes in the future!"
Zhao Guangming couldn't help but his eyes lit up and he said, "So, is Director Li interested in directing a film with a theme theme?"
Li Yi nodded when he heard this and said: "Of course I am interested, but I don't have any inspiration in this area yet."
"You can find inspiration slowly, but since you can write a script like "That Rabbit", I think the main theme movie you make must be unique. I'm looking forward to it!" Zhao Guangming said with a smile.
"If you have any difficulties then, you can come to me!" Zhao Guangming said and handed Li Yi a business card.
Li Yi quickly took it with both hands and said, "Thank you, Director Zhao!"
"Excuse me!" After Zhao Guangming said this, he turned around to greet other guests.
Chen Wen then asked with a smile: "Do you really think the main theme movie has a clue?"
"Of course, the success of "That Rabbit" itself shows that the market for main theme movies already exists. What is lacking is commercial main theme movies." Li Yi said with a smile.
Chen Wen was noncommittal.
Soon, the premiere of "Flowing Flags" officially began.
However, Li Yi soon understood why Chen Wen said that even Zhao Guangming had no confidence in this movie.
This movie is a group portrait, but apart from their different identities and backgrounds, these people all show the same qualities in the movie, which is simplicity, purity, well, to put it simply, each one of them is great and upright. of.
It’s not that Wei Guangzheng is bad, but it’s just a bit out of touch.
This kind of movie is basically difficult for today's audiences to watch.
However, at this time, Li Yi had a scene from another group portrait movie in his mind, and he simply "watched" it in his mind.
The result is...
Li Yi's eyes turned red when he was moved by the plot.
When Chen Wen turned his head to look, he was shocked.
Because Li Yi kept wiping his tears, his eyes were a little red and swollen.
If Li Yi hadn't revealed his true feelings, Chen Wen might have thought that Li Yi had secretly applied pepper water. Otherwise, wouldn't his awareness be too high?
This also made Chen Wen turn around and scan the moviegoers around him. As a result, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it's not that I'm not enlightened enough, but that I, a fellow junior, is too enlightened.
That's not to say that "Flowing Flag" doesn't have some sensational parts, but because the tone of the whole movie is a bit problematic, on the contrary, those parts that were originally sensational, in Chen Wen's view, have lost their due value. role.
But what Chen Wen didn't expect was that Li Yi would be touched.
When the movie ended, Chen Wen finally couldn't help but patted Li Yi on the shoulder and separated Li Yi from the "movie".
"Is it really that easy to cry?" Chen Wen asked curiously.
"Uh... I made Brother Wen laugh." Li Yi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said with some embarrassment.
"No, no, no, what am I laughing at? What do you think of this movie?" Chen Wen was really curious, and he was also wondering in his heart, could he have seen it wrong?
It was no wonder that Chen Wen had self-doubt. It was actually Li Yi's emotional reaction to watching the movie that surprised him.
After all, Li Yi himself is known as the most sensational director. When it comes to sensationalism, it can be said that no one in the country can dare to say that he is better at it than Li Yi.
But he himself had no interest in watching this movie, but Li Yi actually cried while watching it.
Li Yi quickly understood that Chen Wen had misunderstood his reaction.
He thought for a while and said: "It's a qualified main theme movie, but it's not a qualified commercial movie!"
Chen Wen nodded, and then said: "Actually, if you have the chance, you can really try the main theme movie!"
Li Yi nodded.
He understands what Chen Wen means, just like the invisible benefits that the emergence of "That Rabbit" has brought to him, but just one "That Rabbit" is not enough, and if Li Yi can direct another main theme movie, it will be a success if.
So in the domestic film and television industry, as long as Li Yi doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, absolutely no one will dare to take the initiative to provoke him!
The movie that his memory just revived is actually somewhat similar in theme to "Flowing Flag", but the two are almost worlds apart.
However, Li Yi was a little hesitant, because although the movie he remembered was too sharp in some places, or it could be said that it involved many sensitive issues, even though the movie was from a relatively long time ago , but when Li Yi looks at the main theme movies in this world, there is really no one that can compare with it.
However, because of this, Li Yi estimates that if he really wants to copy it completely, he may not even be able to pass the review of the script!
Because it's too real, because it's too sharp, and it's too bold.
From Li Yi's own point of view, he naturally prefers the classic old movie that he remembers, because that movie, among other things, is very real and down-to-earth!
The story of the movie "Flowing Flag" is actually very good, and the angle is also well captured. But the problem is that the entire film is too brilliant.
It can be said that in this kind of great and honest movie, every character in it, except for the enemy, is the most perfect warrior. There is no pure gold and no one is perfect. This truth is well known to everyone, so this seems a bit too much. .
Because no one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings, but this movie directly highlights the advantages, or does not show the shortcomings. This makes the audience feel involved after watching it?
As we all know, in many foreign movies with the main themes, the heroes always have flaws. Even if they don't, they will create them for you.
Why do this? Because sometimes one shortcoming may be more effective than countless advantages, because it will make the audience feel friendly.
And it was later proved that "Flowing Flag" was indeed not popular with the audience. Although the score on the popular film review website was not low, everyone knew what was going on.
The subsequent box office also proved this.
"Flowing Flag" only had a box office of over RMB 30 million on its first day of release, which seems to be a pretty good result.
But in fact, everyone knows that for a National Day blockbuster with the main theme, such a box office is definitely not high.
In fact, "Flowing Flag" received a bad rap from audiences.
The most criticized thing is that it still has the same recipe and the same taste.
For the audience, "That Rabbit" is actually enough to prove that they don't dislike the main theme.
As shown in "That Rabbit", the rabbits have never been upright. Because it is an animation, the rabbits' initial appearance is all cute and harmless.
But apart from that, it often shows that rabbits are never as innocent and cute as they seem.
Sometimes he is very sinister and scolds his mother, but it is precisely because of this that he feels more real to the audience.
Because no one is really perfect.
Having flaws makes it more real!
