Chapter 1107 It's real, but it also needs a sense of distance
Li Yi certainly understands what Zhao Guangming means, but he understands it. If he has ready-made ones, he naturally doesn't mind being a favor, but the key is that he doesn't have any.

"It's difficult, Mr. Zhao, you also know why there are a lot of bad reviews for the main theme films at this stage. In the final analysis, it is still because the scripts are not polished well, and they are all rushing to make money at the box office. Now it is not like before. , the audience is not so easy to deceive." Li Yi said lightly.

He's telling the truth, the script, and sometimes it really matters.

Especially for the main theme movies, it can be said that the script is really more important.

In fact, there has always been a shortage of scripts in the domestic market.

It's not that there are no scripts, but that there are no good scripts.

Especially movies, which are different from TV dramas, good scripts for movies are even rarer.

Most of the movies with the main theme are real events or adaptations of real history.

But this adaptation is also a test of the screenwriter's level.

"Who says it's not, but a good script is indeed rare. However, this is not a problem for you, a gold medal screenwriter, right? And you are no stranger to movies with the main theme. It can even be said that the popularity of the main theme in the past two years is due to your So, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Zhao Guangming first smiled wryly, then looked at Li Yi and said.

"Just treat it as a favor for me. You can ask for whatever you need." Seeing that Li Yi remained calm, Zhao Guangming said directly.

Li Yi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!"

"How about this, I have a few notebooks here, can you show them?" Zhao Guangming said suddenly again.

"That's fine!" Li Yi nodded.

Zhao Guangming quickly took out the obviously prepared script and handed it to Li Yi.

Li Yi looked down.

There are four scripts in total.

The scripts that got into Zhao Guangming's hands were obviously screened, otherwise they wouldn't get into his hands.

The first script is a script with a modern theme, "Extreme Rescue", the name sounds very familiar.

However, this story is also adapted from real stories. It tells the story of a 7-year-old boy who accidentally broke his arm and completed emergency treatment across 1400 kilometers within eight golden hours.

There are also relevant news reports and materials on actual events.

The second script, the third script, and the fourth script are all adapted from real events.

But Li Yi frowned quite a bit.

The main reason is that the stories in these scripts are all adapted from real events after all, but to be honest, it is actually quite difficult to adapt such stories into movies.

A fact is that the biggest problem with movies based on real events is, are you doing addition or subtraction?
Doing addition can easily make the audience feel complicated, while doing subtraction will reduce the excitement of the original story.

There is another problem because the time takes place in modern times.

There will be a situation where everyone is an expert.

And this year, the problem of the Three Views has always existed.

For example, Li Yi remembered watching a short video before. In the short video, a man and a child crossed a zebra crossing. The car did not slow down. If the man hadn't stopped the child in time, an accident would have occurred.

But the comments below are confusing.

Because there are actually a lot of people talking about the victims.

"Victim culpability" can be said to be a very frequent topic these days.

In fact, the main reason is that the matter has nothing to do with oneself, but it happens to happen in the same era.

In this way, everyone will have their own opinions, and everyone has their own starting point.

Like crossing a zebra crossing.

Some people have said that Ma Lu doesn't look good on children and deserves it for being hit.

This kind of words sounds reasonable, but in fact it is a terrible thing.

In the same way, things that happen in reality, the closer to this year, the more real, but the more real, the easier it is to cause various problems.

There are so many things to consider.

Another is the theory of right and wrong.

For the same behavior, there will be a large number of people divided into two different factions and various arguments.

Therefore, Li Yi feels that making such movies is sometimes really difficult to control.

It may be easier to talk about other movies, but the main theme movie is really difficult in this area.

Therefore, in Li Yi's view, it doesn't mean that you can't make this kind of movie, but it is really difficult to use this kind of movie to get a good reputation and a high box office.

"Why are they all scripts of this type?" Li Yi asked a little puzzled.

"What?" Zhao Guangming was a little puzzled.

"What I mean is, why are these stories adapted from real stories, and even modern ones?" Li Yi asked.

"Is there any problem?" Zhao Guangming asked suspiciously.

"It would be fine before this, but in the current situation, this kind of movie is really difficult to do." Li Yi said.

"Oh? What did you say? Isn't this kind of movie based on real stories more down-to-earth and more realistic?" Zhao Guangming asked a little puzzled.

"Yes, that's true, but sometimes movies do need a sense of reality, but they still need to maintain a sense of distance." Li Yi said.

"Your statement is ingenious. Let me tell you what you think?" Zhao Guangming was indeed hearing this statement for the first time.

"It's okay to adapt real events, it can indeed increase the sense of substitution and increase the sense of reality, but this is a movie, not a documentary, and "Wolf Warrior" is also an adaptation of real events, but in fact it only borrows the background of the event, and more It is a fictional thing, the main theme of the movie, and the feature film made into it is actually the most difficult."

"Because there are too many real things, it is easy for the audience to become "experts". Let's take driving as an example. Everyone understands traffic regulations, and everyone can tell a whole bunch of truths. If there is such an ambiguous thing, there will be huge controversy.

And this kind of thing has no real authority at all! "

"Of course, I'm not saying that this kind of story cannot be filmed, but at this stage, it is really too difficult to make this kind of story at the level of "I'm Not the God of Medicine"."

"Especially now that the main theme movie has been baptized by those shoddy movies, many audiences will watch this kind of movie with a magnifying glass, so at this time, the sense of distance is very important."

"So, if you really want to reverse the current situation, I think it's best to have a story with a certain sense of distance. It's true, but it's not a subject that everyone understands." Li Yi said with a smile.

Just like a star, it’s true that you’re not down-to-earth, but it’s also no good if you’re too down-to-earth.
