What Li Yi remembered was a Hollywood movie.
And it can be considered a very, very special film.
Why do you say special? If "I Love You" is about love at dusk, then "Bang Bang" is about childhood sweethearts, that ignorant pure love.
This kind of film is really very rare, because the story of this kind of film is really difficult to tell.
The main thing is how to grasp that degree.
Ignorant admiration is not actually love, or at that age, it is not love at all.
But it happens to be something that everyone has experienced before. Who is a young man who doesn’t admire Ai?
Who didn't have a great playmate as a child?
Seeing that Li Yi was distracted again, Mu Qing was not surprised, but rather looked forward to it.
She knew what her husband was capable of.
For Li Yi, he was thinking and trying whether it could be adapted locally for the film "Heartbeat", but after thinking about it, he finally gave up.
Because, if it is adapted locally, he feels that it will be difficult to capture the unique flavor of the original version.
"Pumping Heart" is a very simple story, but very rich. It mainly talks about children's ignorant puppy love. In fact, this movie also talks about pursuing one's dreams, respect, hard work, how to treat poverty, how to accept disabled family members, and how to maintain one's self-esteem. One detail that impressed Li Yi deeply was that after the parents quarreled, they immediately said to the child: "We will solve it, it's not your fault." Then he took turns to comfort her, saying that the parents still loved each other, so that the child could feel at ease. Therefore, the child will feel: "I think it is difficult for my mother, and I think it is difficult for my father. But I am very lucky to be born in this family." Parents who love each other are better than rich parents.
Not only these, but also in "Heartbeat", the little girl came back crying and said that the boy wanted to kiss her in front of everyone. Her mother said: "Really? I think you need to talk to him." Boy. She knocked on the door repeatedly, but her mother just said politely and apologetically: "She didn't want to talk to anyone. She locked herself in the bedroom." The boy comes from a family that despises girls, but the girls' parents can distinguish him and treat him Just like a normal person.
In this respect, it is actually the same all over the world, but if it is adapted locally, it will look a little out of place in China.
Because, at present, it is very difficult for domestic parents to treat the situation as calmly as the mother of the little girl in the film.
I'm afraid I might have already caused trouble in school.
This is caused by different cultural environments.
In fact, just like Li Yi, if that little girl was his daughter, he would have gone to school to beat her up without saying anything.
Are you kidding me? Is my little cotton-padded jacket something you can covet?
But when it comes to Americans, it seems normal.
Although many reports say that foreign countries have stronger protection for minors, it will be different if both parties are of the same age.
You must know that there is a Romeo and Juliet Act in the United States.
Simply translated, it is "childhood sweethearts".
Therefore, in the end, Li Yi shook his head, because "Bumping Heartbeat" may not be alienating to domestic moviegoers, but if it is adapted locally, it will become nondescript.
In fact, in Li Yi's understanding, "Heartbeat" is not only a movie about childhood sweethearts, but also about parents' education of their children.
China has always been advocating how parents should educate their children. This type of issue has even become the mainstream of current discussions about family education.
After all, as the saying goes, parents are their children's best teachers.
But how many can actually do it?
Rather than saying that the male and female protagonists in "Bang Bang", especially the heroine, are so sensible and lovable, it is because of her own charm, it is better to say that this is cultivated under a good family education. character.
Different countries have different concepts and different education methods.
But some things lead to the same goal in different ways.
Who doesn't want their children to be very sensible and well-behaved, but the fact is that if homework is not mentioned, the father is kind and the son is filial, but when homework is mentioned, everything goes crazy.
Back to business.
Li Yi came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile a little when he saw his wife looking at him expectantly and curiously.
Then the story of "Thumping Heartbeat" begins.
Mu Qing frowned slightly.
"Why did you suddenly think of such a story?" She was quite surprised.
"What? Is there a problem?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course, you didn't grow up overseas, but the story of the little hero and heroine you told doesn't seem to be like the story that would happen in our domestic families. Therefore, your story must be based on the society of Western countries. Family is the background, right?" Mu Qing nodded.
Li Yi did not explain this.
Sure enough, she was afraid of making things up, and Mu Qing quickly stopped asking questions. After all, she and Li Yi knew Xu Nannan's existence tacitly.
Therefore, she subconsciously thought that Li Yi had the inspiration for such a story because he was there.
"Then you're going to film there?" Mu Qing suddenly became unhappy.
"Well, this kind of story is inappropriate in China." Li Yi shook his head.
Of course Mu Qing knew.
Sometimes the story is the story and the context is the context.
For example, if the heroine in a movie is a foreigner, then people will naturally assume the characteristics of the foreigner they "recognize".
For example, be more open-minded about some things.
Maybe people won’t react too much to such a heroine in her private life, such as having more relationships, having more boyfriends, etc., because in the perception of many Chinese people, this is In foreign countries, this is a completely normal thing.
In other words, if a woman has been married several times, no one will think there is any problem if she is a foreigner. However, if the role is replaced by a Chinese, even if the other person is still living abroad, it will not be a problem. Still incomprehensible.
I just subconsciously think that this is not a good woman.
Because at this time, everyone will naturally think that this woman should be set as a benchmark for our countrymen.
However, when a movie like "Bang Bang" is released in the domestic market and watched by domestic audiences, Li Yi is not worried at all that it will be acclimatized.
In fact, the biggest reason is that some things, such as first love, lead to the same goal through different paths, but they are expressed in different ways.
Rather than saying "Bang Bang" is a movie about ignorant puppy love, it is better to say that it is a story about growing up.
The part he admires most is the character growth experienced by the two heroes and heroines.
Most love-themed movies are event-driven rather than character-driven. The characters' psychological changes and behavioral choices are often dominated by one-time or several unexpected events.
But what "Pumping Heart" wants to depict is exactly the growth and maturity process of the characters in daily life.
Julie in the film did not love thinking since she was a child. She gradually realized the difference between the appearance and the inner beauty in her natural pursuit of beauty; Bryce also learned to listen to his heart bit by bit starting from a cowardly boy. voice, learned to be brave.
As for the relationship between the two people, in fact, the movie never really showed any sparks between Julie and Bryce, but I have to admit that the ending scene was extremely touching. Of course Li Yi knows that angel-like Julie is unlikely to exist in real life, and naturally understands how difficult it is for parents from a poor family to educate their children to follow their own path and pursue illusory ideals and spiritual beauty, but he can see Meeting such beautiful people and families is a very happy thing after all. Even in movies and movies, even after being heartbroken, I still sigh deeply.
This is also the charm of artistic creation.
Because movies are the art of dream-making, it is undoubtedly very fulfilling for the director to make something impossible possible and create a convincing story line.
In fact, the male and female protagonists themselves are at that age, and it is not suitable for there to be any sparks in the relationship, because if there is, it would be superfluous and not enough to make this film so charming.
On the contrary, precisely because of controlling such a scale, allowing ignorance to remain in ignorance, and allowing beauty to end, is the best love enlightenment for this age group.
In fact, just like the first love of many people, in fact, the first love of most people is not the kind of vigorous and passionate love.
On the contrary, they are all small touches that hit the spot.
"Your story is very interesting. How should I put it? I can obviously feel the emotional throbbing that belongs to my youth, but in fact the story is very clean. Maybe this is the real beauty that belongs to children of that age. ?" Mu Qing no longer worried about Li Yi going to North America again, but began to return to this story.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, in fact, this is similar to first love to a certain extent."
Mu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, I have actually heard my mother say before that her first love was nothing more than a tall and handsome man who stood out from countless suitors. He was considerate and courteous in every possible way, copying love poems and writing love letters. So much.
But fate played a trick on people, and they couldn't be together in the end. On the eve of her leaving her hometown, the man stopped her and said, we have known each other for so long and we have never touched your hand. Can I hold your hand?
I still remember that when my mother said this, her face lit up like a girl: Then, I stretched out my hand, and when I first touched it, I jumped up as if I was electrocuted, and then ran away with a blushing face. .
She said: Do you know? I have never felt like this before, as if my heart is about to beat out of my chest. "
Li Yi couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
"Yeah, that's it. In fact, the so-called first love really doesn't have that many stories to tell. It's not even exciting, and it doesn't have too many twists and turns, but it's so unforgettable."
"Whether it was twenty years ago or twenty years later, this is what every girl has experienced, the feeling of first love." Mu Qing said with a smile.
"Then I'm curious, where are you men?" Mu Qing said and looked at Li Yi and asked.
Li Yi smiled and said: "Actually, it's almost the same, even simpler than you girls. Many times, the first love that boys miss is even just a secret love. At that time, maybe at a certain time, because they saw her in The profile of her face in the sun was so joyful, and I watched her silently, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life, because at that time, there was really no utilitarianism at all, and it was purely a pursuit of beauty."
"Is there a sense of perpetual turmoil about something you can't get?" Mu Qing asked, looking sideways at Li Yi.
Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, it's not!"
"Actually, at that age, you may not have considered whether you can get it or not. In fact, you may not get close at all. You just want to keep that moment, pure and clean without any flaws. It is a kind of belonging to a person. A moment of perfect touch.”
"But some people say that most people fall in love with people because they are very similar to the person they first fell in love with! What do you think?" Mu Qing looked at Li Yi and asked.
To be honest, Li Yi didn't know how to answer this question.
This is the difficulty of talking about movies and such topics with my wife.
Because you don't know whether she purely wants to discuss this issue with you or has ulterior motives.
Li Yi glanced at her and asked with a smile: "Oh? Then is there anything in me that is similar to the person you first fell in love with?"
He couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Mu Qing probably just wanted to discuss this issue with Li Yi and had no other intentions, so she quickly said: "Maybe, although everyone is different and unique, But everyone still has something in common. That’s why I feel confused.”
"The green plums wither, the bamboo horses grow old. From now on, everyone I fall in love with will look like you?" Li Yi couldn't help but blurt out.
Mu Qing's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, that's it! Do you think so?"
Li Yi was silent for a moment and nodded, then shook his head and said: "Maybe, but in fact there is no answer to this question, because in my opinion, first of all, the reason why first love is unforgettable is that it is The beginning of when we discover something we like is either a smile in the sun, a glare, or an angry look. Maybe we like these things ourselves, so naturally, after that, first Time is attracted to me because of the things I like.
Therefore, it will create an illusion that the person I fall in love with from now on is very similar to you, but in fact, it is just because that person already has something you like! And these are the same! "
"So maybe a few years later, when the green plums wither and the bamboo horses grow old, we comb our silver hair and look at our old faces in the mirror, and think of the girl we fell in love with a few years ago. She has always been the same, beautiful, kind, and gentle. Generous."
