In fact, because it is the 70th anniversary year, there are many gift film projects this year.
Before Li Yi came, Zhao Guangming had already read several scripts.
They are all scripts for tribute films.
But no one has a script that makes him so moved.
In terms of concept, the cast and the scenes of the movie, "War Meridian" is not high or big.
But there was only this script, and Zhao Guangming didn't know what to say for a long time.
Too cruel?
Too cruel?
So...he didn't know how to describe it.
Yes, from the perspective of the audience, Zhao Guangming dares to say that this movie will definitely make people cry out of breath while watching it, because every scene in it is too cruel, too cruel.
But he knew that in all of this, the reality would be crueler and crueler than the movie!
"Why is it called "War Meridian"?" Zhao Guangming asked after being silent for a long time, but what he asked was why is the movie called "War Meridian"?
Li Yi was a little stunned. He guessed that Zhao Guangming would have some questions, such as asking what the real mission was?
But he didn't expect that Zhao Guangming actually asked why the movie was called this name.
Yes, why?
Li Yi has really studied this.
"Because the meridian is the starting line of time zones on the earth. And where does the meridian of war start? Maybe for us, we can analyze where the meridian of many wars starts, but for this group of people For children, there is no choice in their childhood!
Maybe one moment the children were playing on the grass, but the next moment there might be intensive gunfire all around. For those who lived in that era, their life was war and they lived in war, although the meaning of war was not clear to them. When the mission is finally completed, I think the few surviving children should feel that the war meridian begins here. Therefore, the name of the movie is "War Meridian"! "
Zhao Guangming nodded, feeling enlightened.
"Have you ever thought about taking an international route for this movie?" Zhao Guangming suddenly asked.
"Huh? No, why do you ask that?" Li Yi was quite surprised.
"Nothing, I just feel that showing this war from a child's perspective is a rather special angle. At least before this, it was rare to analyze this war from this perspective, and the anti-war message conveyed by the movie... .." Zhao Guangming said.
Li Yi directly interrupted Zhao Guangming's words: "Wait a minute, Director Zhao, what anti-war ideas does the movie convey? I really don't have this idea. Maybe we can say now that we are against war and any unjust war. However, I will never use the war against aggression to express the so-called anti-war thoughts, because we have always passively endured that war. When the enemy breaks into our homes and kills our relatives, we The only option is to take up arms and resist!"
"The only thing I want to convey in this movie is that there is still a breath of life and the fight does not stop! I want to tell everyone that our army has an indomitable spirit and must overwhelm all enemies and never be surrendered by the enemy. No matter in any hardships or hardships In this situation, as long as there is one person left, this person must continue to fight!
I want to tell people who live in peaceful times how many hardships our ancestors have experienced in exchange for the hard-won peace we have today. Peace is peace that is fought for! Rather than asking for peace! rather than so-called anti-war ideas. "
Zhao Guangming was stunned. He did think at first that Li Yi's "War Meridian" wanted to take an international route, because there were very few movies that looked at war from this angle, and the international community has always preferred this angle. Because as the old saying goes, war keeps women and children away.
But he didn't expect that Li Yi had no such idea at all.
Li Yi indeed thought so.
To be honest, for some domestic directors, they shoot something that makes the Chinese people feel uncomfortable, and then say that they want the whole world to accept this fact, so we choose a way to tell this incident in a way that the world can accept!
However, there is no doubt that you are a Chinese first, so what you say is that you chose a way to tell the story in a way that the world can accept. On the other hand, if your butt is sitting crooked, is what you tell the truth still true?
Perhaps in the past, when China was still focused on development and its national self-confidence was not so strong, it was okay to crave recognition from outsiders.
However, the question is, why do we still yearn for the world’s approval so much today?
When the war of aggression broke out, some people also placed their hope in the intervention, intervention, and mediation of the United Nations.
But don’t they know what’s happening here, on this land?
The results of it?
Therefore, it is not advisable to place hope on the sympathy of outsiders who do not have much immediate interests. We have known this decades ago. However, even now, many people still feel that the whole country must be allowed to The world is as it is.
And when they did this, they never considered whether the Chinese people recognized the result you called this?
If the Chinese don’t recognize it, then what’s the point if outsiders do?
Back to business.
Li Yi and Zhao Guangming talked a lot about the movie "War Meridian".
The movie "War Meridian" didn't have big problems in terms of shooting. The biggest problem was the actors.
How to show the faces of those children in that era?
How can we get rid of the Chengshi flavor in modern child actors?
Children's scenes are the best to shoot, but also the most difficult to shoot.
It is said that it is the easiest to film because children do not have so many complicated ideas and most of the time they can act according to the director's requirements. However, it is also said to be difficult to film because, after all, they are only children, and some more complicated scenes will be difficult for them to understand. .
Fortunately, Li Yi can be said to be experienced in this aspect. After all, many of his movies have child actors participating, so he can be considered relatively experienced in this aspect.
Secondly, it is the modification of some contents of the original version of the film.
For example, the opening part of the movie, "War Meridian" because the original version was released in the 1990s in another world.
So there is a relatively big bug at the beginning, that is, the only human structure that can be seen on the earth from outer space is the Great Wall!
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the director at the time, because that was the perception at that time.
But when it comes to Li Yi, it is definitely impossible to copy these.
Also, at the Great Wall, when the landmines left over from the past were dismantled, the children clamored for them. After the dismantling was completed, the mines were easily handed over to the children to play with!
Such a thing might have happened in that era, but it is obviously impossible to exist in this era.
Therefore, these obvious bugs need to be avoided!
