Chapter 1096 The little girl who sells matches

Li Yi has also made many public welfare short films in the past.

But there are still relatively few of this type, or the first short film "Deal" he made is somewhat of this type.

However, it is actually not the same.

This kind of public welfare and charity promotional film is actually easy to shoot. Charity organizations have too many touching stories, but if you want to make a publicity film, it may not be suitable.

In fact, domestic satellite TV has some short films for public welfare every year, and there are also some of this type.

But when it comes to Li Yi, mediocrity means failure.

He does have a bit of inspiration here, but whether it works or not, and whether it is suitable or not, still needs to be carefully considered.

"The Little Match Girl", this is also a short story.

However, the story took place in a relatively long time ago, and the background of the story is also abroad.

Of course, this story, even just looking at the text, can make people unable to help but move.

This is a fairy tale, but it is different from any other fairy tales. The little match girl is too real and ordinary.

She is different from the protagonist of ordinary fairy tales.

She is not a princess of noble blood, no handsome prince can save her from danger, she doesn't have beautiful long hair, and she doesn't have an unforgettable appearance.

It can be said that among all the fairy tales, the little match girl is not like a fairy tale.

Because she even lost her slippers.

She only has matches, which can emit faint light and heat in the cold snowy night.

By the way, there is also her humble desire to have enough food and clothing. The beautiful illusion she saw in the firelight is fleeting, but the real warmth and happiness are separated from her by a thin glass window.

She was so lonely, with no company, no romantic love.

She was still so young, and even her final outcome was not the foam on the sea surface that could reflect the dazzling colors of the sun, but just a cold, uncared for corpse.

But breaking away from these beautiful settings, she will make people feel that maybe in reality, on a certain street corner on a certain cold night, there is such a barefoot little girl shivering by lighting matches for warmth.

In fact, isn't Xiao Yuyu like the previous one a real version of the little match girl?
The only difference is that this society is not as indifferent as in the story of "The Little Match Girl". At least she left in the end not because of the indifference of this society, but because of the ruthlessness of the disease and the cruelty of fate.

Of course, different people look at this story and have different feelings.

Some people also say that this is indeed a fairy tale, because many of us adults have no real beliefs.

We don't believe that people will go to heaven after death, even those who keep praying, but in fact, they still don't have as much faith as they show.

In other words, not so naive.

At least at the end when the little girl left this world, she left with a smile on her face and followed her grandmother who loved her the most.

To go to the heaven where there is no cold and no hunger and cold, in her little childish and innocent thoughts, heaven exists, because grandma, the grandma who loves her the most, went to heaven, didn't she?

Of course, the biggest irony of this story is those indifferent people and the indifferent social environment.

In fact, to some extent, as a charity promotional film, it is also appropriate.

There is a lyrics called: "As long as everyone gives a little love, then this world will become a beautiful world!"

In fact, the tragedy of "The Little Match Girl" was caused by many aspects. If there are kind-hearted people passing by and willing to give her a little warmth, maybe it will not be such a tragedy.

""The Little Match Girl"?" Mu Qing couldn't help being a little surprised when she saw the name on the cover.

Then he looked down.

In fact, what Li Yi showed her was only the original text of the short story, not the script, which was very short.

But Mu Qing watched very slowly.

At first she was still smiling, but gradually, she didn't know when it started, and tears filled her eyes.

After a long time, she looked up at Li Yi, and she remembered the little girl who left a suicide note saying: "Give up treatment voluntarily".

"What do you think?" Li Yi asked.

"Is it too, too cruel?" Mu Qing looked at him with red eyes.

Even though she knew that this was just a fabricated story, she still couldn't help constructing that scene in her mind.

Every time a match is lit, it seems to give the little girl warmth, but the match is so short, it will always go out, the beauty is always so short, and the final ending, even though she left this world with a smile, is still painful. Heartfelt.

"Do you think it's inappropriate?" Li Yi asked.

Mu Qing shook her head and said, "I just think the ending is a bit unacceptable, but this story is really profound."

Li Yi nodded.

In fact, Li Yi felt that he was simply thinking too much before, and since he thought about it, he would shoot it, not necessarily making a promotional video for a charity or something.

He just wanted to get the story out of the film.

As long as there is one less tragedy like "The Little Match Girl" in this world, then this film has value.

Yes, our life today is indeed getting better and better, but in many invisible corners, are there really no children like "the little match girl"?
the answer is negative!

Just like Xiao Yuyu, she loves this world deeply and hopes to be warm, but she can't wait for the dawn.

Because for her, fate has no choice at all, and it ends before it starts.

"The Little Match Girl" is special after all, so Li Yi simply didn't say that he was making a promotional video for some charity fund, and just regarded it as his own work.

Li Yi naturally didn't plan to go abroad to shoot, it was just a short film.

The background can be completely blurred.

After deciding, he began to prepare.

For a big director like him, this kind of small film is certainly not difficult.

In fact, there is only one main character in this short film, "the little match girl", and the rest are just background panels.

However, for Li Yi's sake, his every move was watched by countless eyes.

He just started to prepare, and the outside world has already spread the word.

It's just that many people don't know what work he will shoot this time.

However, it is definitely not a movie or something. After all, if it is a movie, then the movement cannot be so small.

Therefore, people on video platforms such as Penguin Video and Kumao Video immediately started to move.

Now everyone knows that Li Yi's works, even if they are short films that no one is particularly interested in, are synonymous with traffic.

Penguin Video is familiar with this area.

I have been cooperating with Li Yi for a long time. Although it is a short film, it can always bring huge traffic.

Li Yi doesn't reject these things, and he's not that lofty. After all, isn't the work shot for people to see?
