ps: So what, you won’t really tear up the monthly ticket, right? Double monthly pass!
In fact, it’s not surprising that Ping Xiaosi and Cao Zhenqun felt that they could do it again.
Although "Get Out!" "Tumor King" Li Yi is the screenwriter, but he is just a screenwriter.
The director is Mu Qing.
After all, Mu Qing has not proven herself. It is a fact that her previous movies did not perform well at the box office.
Therefore, not to mention Ping Xiaosi and Cao Zhenqun, many fans of Li Yi also do not feel that Mu Qing's movie can bring much impact to "Youth 3: The Age of Farewell".
Not only because Mu Qing is not famous enough, but also because "Youth 3: The Age of Farewell" is the final chapter of Ping Xiaosi's youth trilogy.
It has a big gimmick bonus in itself.
Don't forget that "Age of Youth 2: Crazy Times" was beaten by Li Yi's "The King of Comedy". The box office was directly two-thirds less than the first one, but the last one, in the eyes of many people, is still It poses a considerable threat.
They didn't dare to confront each other directly, let alone Mu Qing's "Get Out!" "Tumor King".
Only Li Yi watched some of Mu Qing's "Get Out!" Although there are some differences between the clips of "Tumor King" and the original movie in my memory, Li Yi feels better.
And, to put it bluntly, although many people laugh at the three treasures of the peninsula: "car accidents, cancer, and cannot be cured", why are these three so popular in tear-jerking movies and TV shows?
For a movie that can be called a tear-jerker, you don’t care whether it’s really good or not, but at least the box office performance is really not bad.
As for fan movies like "Youth", to be honest, this type of movie is the best.
Especially "Age of Youth 3: The Age of Farewell", you can tell at a glance that the main theme is also "tear-jerking" and "emotional".
But your separation, no matter what, is still the separation of some young people. Can it be as sensational and tear-jerking as "Farewell"?
Therefore, Li Yi also felt that this wave was done!
Preparations for "Wreaths Under the Mountains" have also been officially launched.
The first is the behind-the-scenes team. Zhao Guangming on Huaying's side is very capable and directly handed over the team of "Flowing Flag" to Li Yi.
Among them is Fu Rongguang, the assistant director of "Flowing Flag".
You must know that the movie "Flowing Flag" is a serious theme movie. Although the movie's final performance was unsatisfactory due to the script, it does not mean that the movie was not well made.
In fact, the biggest problem with theme-themed movies is often the story, but rather the production. As I said, almost all theme-themed movies are of a very high level, whether it's the story, the shots, or the details.
And these people all have very rich experience in the production of theme films.
For Li Yi, this is the greatest support.
Li Yi has watched "Flowing Flag". Although the plot is not commercial enough and the main theme is too traditional, other than that, it can be said to be remarkable in other aspects.
The level is definitely high enough!
As for the team of "Flowing Flag", the assistant director Fu Rongguang is very crucial.
As for character selection.
Li Yi is going to do something big this time!
Like Li Yi's previous movies, even if you want to have a super luxurious lineup, it is difficult.
Although Li Yi's movies seem to have high box office, in fact, if you invite top actors like Chen Wen to those movies, people may not be able to watch them.
But this time it was completely different.
"Flowing Flag" Li Yi directly sent the script to Chen Wen this time, and he chose the role as he pleased.
As a result, what surprised Li Yi was that Chen Wen did not choose, and Liang Sanxi did not choose Zhao Mengsheng, the two male protagonists who can be said to have the most roles.
Instead, I immediately fell in love with the character Jin Kailai.
"No, ask brother, why is it Jin Kailai?" Li Yi was a little confused.
"This character appeals to me. If you ask me, in your film, Zhao Mengsheng is indeed quite unique, but for such a character, in fact, regardless of his background, in the later period, he is actually no different from the heroes in ordinary movies with the main theme. the difference."
"And Liang Sanxi is an absolutely positive hero through and through. It can be said that he is definitely a representative of decent people. His selflessness and approachability make the soldiers support him. The company commander of the Ninth Company loves his work and is good to his subordinates. He is an upright man and deeply loved by his subordinates. He is too perfect! But he lacks enough characteristics!"
"Jin Kailai is different. He likes to complain and tell strange things. He is a "thorn" and likes to give opinions. He is a "cannon". I think that neither Zhao Mengsheng nor Liang Sanxi is as good as Jin Kailai. His authenticity and personality, I like him!" Chen Wen said with a smile.
Li Yi nodded.
In any movie, whether the characters in it will be popular or not actually depends on the time and background.
In Li Yi's memory, in the movie "Garland Under the Mountain", at that time, the character Liang Sanxi was the most popular military image among the public.
But if it were placed in this era, Li Yi thought about it, it would be difficult to compare Liang Sanxi with the character of Jin Kailai.
"Furthermore, I think Jin Kailai is the most unique in this story. His sacrifice was not to block the bullet hole, but to cut sugar cane to quench the thirst of his comrades. Therefore, he was not recognized as a hero after his sacrifice. , don’t give him military medals. Such a character is definitely unique in terms of character and ending!" Chen Wen added.
Li Yi nodded. It is indeed the case. In "Garland Under the Mountain", Jin Kailai's character can be said to be the most real, and his experience is also the most dramatic!
The most unforgettable thing about Jin Kailai's character is that we all know those sacrificed soldiers and heroes in today's main theme movies.
Most of them blocked the enemy, blew up the bunker, or died on the way to the charge.
But Jin Kailai is not. His sacrifice is different from that of all heroes. And because of this, he is not recognized as a hero after his sacrifice in the film. The reason is that to some extent, he will be I think he was not sacrificed on the battlefield!
More can be said to be "accidental"!
But he is definitely a true hero, because his sacrifice was not for himself, but for his comrades.
"Then, brother, do you have any recommendations? Zhao Mengsheng and Liang Sanxi." Li Yi asked.
"As for Liang Sanxi, there are actually many people who can play this role. Although he is the male protagonist, how can I put it, this role does not need to be subverted. On the contrary, the male protagonists in the main theme movies of model dramas are almost of his type. of.
On the contrary, in Zhao Mengsheng's words, when Zhao Mengsheng appeared, he was a typical pampered young man, drinking wine and smoking Chinese cigarettes... The transformation process of this character can be said to be one of the main threads of this movie. Therefore, you need to find an actor who contrasts greatly with the image of a soldier to play the role. "
