Many people feel that domestic restrictions on movies are relatively high and not free and open enough. But in fact, looking at Hollywood movies today, the restrictions are actually even greater and more outrageous.
It is even so outrageous that some things that do not exist in real history often need to be added with some strange things because of concerns about the current social situation.
For example, in a movie, in Hollywood, black people cannot be the biggest villains. The positive characters must have black people participating, not just black people, but even, as it later developed, they must be of multiple races.
But some movies are based on historical backgrounds, and in those histories, there is no such thing at all, and in the end, they have to compromise.
Otherwise, it may be labeled as racial discrimination.
Therefore, whether it is open or not is always relative.
The script of the movie "Born Out of the Sky" involves very sensitive matters, although Li Yi believes that with his reputation and the strong support of Zhao Guangming from China Film, passing the review will not be a problem.
But what I didn't expect was that the result was very smooth.
The problems of shooting in the Gobi Desert have also been solved, including the problem of group acting.
In fact, for this kind of main theme movie, the best group actors are undoubtedly the soldiers in the army.
After the approval, Li Yi began to assemble the crew. Huaying also sent two experienced assistant directors to help Li Yi assemble the crew.
】
It would have been very difficult for Zhuo Yixiong and the others to handle this film alone, because there were too many departments to greet and contact during the process.
Of course, Li Yi's main job at the moment is to produce a formal script.
However, although it cannot be completely copied from the original version, in general Li Yi does not intend to change too much. In fact, the original movie was already very good, otherwise, it would not have such a high rating.
However, due to the times, both funding and film-related technology are quite different, so Li Yi needs to consider these.
"Director Li, how many meters in diameter should we make the model of the iron tower where the mushroom eggs are placed?" asked Chen Zhao, the assistant director assigned to Li Yi by Huaying.
"How many meters? Since we are going to shoot, it is such a rare opportunity, so naturally we have to make it more realistic. We cannot restore the mushroom egg, but the iron tower where the mushroom egg is placed can be restored. Why not do it? Just restore it directly That's enough." Li Yi said calmly.
Li Yi said it easily, but Chen Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that Li Yi was really playing a little too much.
What is restoration? You must know that the real Mugudan installation tower is hundreds of meters high.
However, Chen Zhao did not refute. After all, regardless of Li Yi's name and identity, he came to be Li Yi's assistant director this time. Zhao Guangming from Huaying said that everything would be subject to Li Yi's arrangements.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is Li Yi who speaks volumes.
Of course, Chen Zhao just felt that the battle was a bit exaggerated.
However, he also knows that Li Yi is not short of money, and similarly Huaying is not short of money.
So, he nodded and said nothing.
In fact, based on this point alone, the original version cannot be compared with Li Yi's version. After all, it is simple to say, but not so simple to do.
Fortunately, this time, Huaying and ZC fully supported the filming of this movie.
Therefore, it is not difficult to build a 100-meter-high iron tower. Of course, money will definitely be spent.
But this is not about money at all.
In fact, the reason why Li Yi did this was that on the one hand he really wanted the quality of the movie to be better, on the other hand, it was also a huge publicity stunt in itself.
Li Yi is not particularly worried about the reputation of "The World", but after all, the original movie did lose money, so even Li Yi dare not say that this movie can really make something special. The results come.
So, naturally, use whatever is available.
And no, if there are conditions, why not do it?
Over there, Chen Zhao's execution ability is quite good. Li Yi has to deal with the script, so most of the time he directs remotely. Fortunately, in these days, communications are developed, so there is no problem.
Chen Zhao is indeed an experienced director and started working quickly.
The laying of iron towers is also under rapid construction. A hundred-meter-high iron tower may sound exaggerated, but in fact, for a country like China, which has an infrastructure-crazy city, it is really not that difficult.
The so-called tall buildings rise from the ground, and the same goes for building a 100-meter iron tower.
Similarly, starting from scratch, it took only one week for the 100-meter-high iron tower to rise dozens of meters from the ground. According to the expectations of Chen Zhaohe, the engineer responsible for building the iron tower, the iron tower was completely completed and only needed one more day. Weeks are enough.
The crew is performing their duties in an orderly manner.
As for actors, Chen Wen, Lin Yunbin and others are not idle either.
Not just them, in fact, the other actors in the entire crew were also not idle. This time, Li Yi invited old actors like those old professors and experts to act.
Of course, there is no need to worry about acting skills, and the dedication of veteran actors is not something that young people can understand.
They don't need to mobilize at all, they just need to state the requirements. With their rich experience, they know what to do.
For example, it was impossible for Li Yi to understand the living habits, expressions, ways of speaking, etc. of the old professors one by one. Therefore, it was more up to these old actors to find ways to solve the problems themselves.
What Li Yi didn't expect was that the tower hadn't been erected yet, and the publicity hadn't been released yet, so Zhao Guangming couldn't sit still.
A direct call was made to Li Yi, who was finishing the script.
"Director Zhao, what's the matter?" Li Yi asked doubtfully.
Zhao Guangming was on the other end of the phone. Although Li Yi couldn't see his expression, he could hear his wry smile: "Director Li, we are making a movie. We just need to make a model. We can do it from a technical perspective later." Solved, why do you want to build a 1:1 ratio tower?"
Li Yi heard this and said disapprovingly: "Director Zhao, yes, there is no problem with model shooting and technical solutions, but in that case, the effect will still be different. Moreover, since we want to shoot realistically, respecting history is inevitable. We There is no way to restore the orphaned mushroom egg, but it is still possible to restore the device that houses the orphaned mushroom egg. I did this out of a responsible attitude toward the film and strive for excellence. As for the budget issue, I don’t think Director Zhao needs to worry, right?"
In fact, the model can indeed be done, but the results will definitely be different.
Li Yi felt that he had the conditions, so why not keep improving?
In fact, what Li Yi did was just to restore an iron tower. When someone shoots a scene about an ancient palace and directly builds a 1:1 palace, it pales in comparison.
Therefore, Li Yi really doesn't think there is any problem.
