"Lee, how did you do it?" Alex asked curiously.
"How did you do it?" Li Yi was confused.
"How do you make audiences like your movies? I mean, every one of your movies is so successful, it's incredible." Alex shrugged.
"Perhaps I was making a movie from the perspective of the audience? However, in fact, I have also failed, and I almost fell into despair. At that time, my ambition was too high. I wanted to reach the sky in one step, and I want to reach the sky in one step, you know?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"That's nothing. I still remember when I made my first movie, I was called bullshit by many people at the film festival! Haha!" Alex shook his head and said.
"Li, your achievements in commercial films have been very high now. Have you ever considered making some award-winning films? If you have such ideas, maybe I can introduce you to some people by then. Of course, Chen There are also many connections in this area, you can definitely give it a try." Alex suddenly said.
Chen Wen also smiled and said: "Director Alex's suggestion is good. Xiao Yi can indeed consider trying to make one or two award-winning films. Well, next year I will serve as a judge on the Venice Film Festival. It’s a pity that time is too tight.”
"Why not Hollywood? After all, although the Chinese market is huge, it is still the center of world cinema, and Li is good at commercial films. I think Hollywood may be more suitable." Rogers made a different suggestion.
"Thank you for your suggestions, but these are still too far away. I have an idea about a zombie movie. How about it? Is Rogers interested?" Li Yi suddenly changed the subject and asked.
"Of course, is it a feature film or a short film?" Rogers asked with a curious look on his face.
Alex and Chen Wen also looked curious and surprised.
"The short film is actually inspired by the zombie parade yesterday." Li Yi said with a smile.
"God, this isn't fair!" Alex suddenly said exaggeratedly.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Alex.
Alex looked at Li Yida with envy and jealousy: "Why have I never missed Zombie Day every year for so many years, but I have never had a complete story inspiration? But this is your first time here, Li. It’s so unfair!”
"Hahaha!"
"Maybe it's because you've attended too many zombie festivals, so part of your inspiration has been eaten up by the zombies?" Rogers joked with a smile.
"Li, tell me, what kind of story is it?" Alex looked at Li Yi curiously and asked.
"Zombie movies have been labeled as scary and scary since they were born. But yesterday I saw a lot of cute zombies, so I thought, why do zombie movies have to be scary and have a horror theme? Why not something else? What?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Li, you're right, so I plan to make a zombie movie that focuses on human nature..." Alex said with enthusiasm.
"Come on, Alex, you won't be able to film it for another five years!" Rogers was obviously full of resentment towards Alex and hit him mercilessly.
"Li, don't worry about this guy who only knows how to talk. Just keep talking." Rogers smiled and said to Li Yi.
Alex didn't interrupt anymore this time, but looked at Li Yi with the same curiosity and expectation.
Li Yi smiled and said, "Where did I say it?"
“The theme of zombies doesn’t have to be thriller and horror, you want to shoot something else,” Alex interjected.
"Oh, yes, I saw a lot of zombies taking their little zombies to the parade yesterday. It suddenly occurred to me, Rogers, if it is really time for the zombie virus to spread, you are bitten by a zombie, but your child is not. , then what will you do at this time?" Li Yi looked at Rogers and said.
"Oh, shit, I'm sorry, Li, I'm not scolding you, I just want to say, you are such a fucking genius! What would I do? I need to think about it!" Rogers suddenly cursed in an exaggerated manner.
Chen Wen, Alex, Mu Qing, and Rogers' wife Linda all looked at Li Yi in surprise.
Because of this, they already knew what Li Yi was thinking.
At this time Rogers said: "If I get bitten by a zombie and I don't have much time left, what should I do? Damn it, what should I do?"
"Hey honey, relax, it's just a hypothesis!" Linda said, looking at her husband.
"I know this is a hypothesis, but I can't imagine what I would do. I want to protect my child, but what should I do? Li, what do you think I should do?" Rogers looked at Li Yi and asked.
Chen Wen and others also fell into thinking.
Yes, if that time really comes, what will a father do?
This time, Li Yi did not tell the truth but simply explained the plot of "Moving forward with a heavy load".
Suddenly everyone was silent.
"Li, you are really a genius! The idea of a heartwarming zombie movie is really great!" Alex said with admiration on his face.
"You may not know Alex, but he has a nickname in China, called Director Dog!" Chen Wen said with a smile.
"What? Dog? Why?" Alex looked confused and didn't understand why Li Yi had such a nickname.
Rogers and Linda also looked puzzled.
Li Yi, however, had a black line on his forehead and asked, brother, are you polite?
"Because his movies are always like this, they can easily touch the most sensitive points in the audience's heart. Every movie can make people cry and walk out of the theater. Therefore, fans call him the Dog Director." , because he always likes to make the audience cry! Of course, this nickname was really called out because of a dog movie he made, in which a dog waited for its owner for ten years until his death. So, do you understand?" Chen Wen popularized the origin of dog directors to foreign friends!
"Hi, dog director!"
"Hi, dog director!"
Alex and Rogers said to Li Yi almost at the same time, holding back their laughter.
Li Yi's face turned dark.
"I have a proposal!" Alex's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Lee, since this inspiration came from the Melbourne Zombie Festival, why don't we shoot this short film here?" Alex said.
"Agree!" Rogers nodded.
"Agree!" Chen Wen also said with a smile.
"Agree!" Mu Qing also joined in the fun.
"Agree!" Linda also smiled.
"Agree! Agree! Agree!" came a milky voice.
Li Yi and others all looked at the little guy on the stroller. The little guy learned so quickly that he actually said yes several times in a row!
"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help but be amused by the little guy.
