tearjerker director

Chapter 539: Tormented Script Creation

"War Meridian" is not a big production.

In fact, it is somewhat similar to "Wreath under the Mountain".

The difference is that "Wreath under the Mountain" describes the war of adults.

And the oldest veteran in "War Meridian" is only sixteen years old!

Writing this notebook was not an easy task for Li Yi. Whenever he wrote about the scenes of children dying, he could not help it.

It takes a long time to continue.

Anyone who is a real screenwriter or director knows that there are many types of scripts, and the director's script is the most visual.

At least in Li Yi's mind, the storyboard script he drew has a picture in his mind.

And that scene was really a huge torment.

People's hearts are fleshy. Although the plot of the movie is fictitious, when the personal names and images are settled, in Li Yi's place, they are living people.

Each of them is alive.

However, they have to be written one by one. What's more painful is that every picture is so clear to Li Yi.

In the scene where the mother fell off the cliff at the end, the camera repeatedly looked up from the perspective of the little girl, but the mother failed to appear.

Sometimes Li Yi wanted to slap himself.

For such a picture, he had to sculpt repeatedly, what kind of angle, what kind of expression, what kind of voice, what kind of background.
Movies are the art of creating dreams, but directors are also human.

In fact, the director can control the emotions of the audience through the scenes of the movie, but in fact, each of the scenes in which the director controls the audience's emotions needs the director to feel it several times first.

Therefore, writing this script was very, very difficult and tormenting for Li Yi.

Every time he can cry red eyes.

I didn't even want to continue writing for a while.

Dog Director!Sometimes he wants to scold himself like that.

Because it's too cruel, too cruel!

There are many surreal shots in "War Meridian". It's hard to say whether this way of expression is good or bad, but Li Yi still decided to shoot and write like this.

Because in Li Yi's view, this is one of the highlights of this movie. Those children also have their own dreams. What they imagine is what life will be like in the future. In short, it is better than the current anti-Japanese movies. Fight and fight deep too much!

Why did you make this movie?Because this movie can let people understand why wars are fought, not for fun, but for future generations to have a new future.

War keeps women and children away, many people say that, but it is a war of aggression.

Under the gunpoint of the enemy, women and children, how do they go away?

In Li Yi's view, it is necessary to repeatedly appear in contrasting images with modern times. Although it feels a bit deliberate, he likes this way of expression very much.

The same child, just because at different times, in the same place, the situation is completely different!

How many children today can see that war in perspective?
How many parents would go out of their way to tell their children about that war?
Yes, we should guard the country, keep the enemy out of the country, and prevent children from experiencing what happened in the film!
However, it is even more important for children to understand that today's peace and happiness are by no means a matter of course. To understand history and be grateful, the world today is by no means peaceful. Stay vigilant and strive for self-improvement.

For yourself, for your children, contribute to national construction and social development.

Let our children have names, and don't let children become grass!

In the process of writing the script, Li Yi felt that he had experienced a baptism.

He is no longer a child, but sometimes, he feels that he is not as good as a child.

Sometimes, he also has some doubts.

Wouldn't it be worth sacrificing 12 kids to complete that even incomplete quest?

Not worth it?

In fact, there is no value at all.

Because in those years, the land has been lost, and there is no place to be safe, so where can you run?

Like the veterans say they are children and soldiers.

When there is no torch in the world, you and I are the only light, and all we can do is burn ourselves!

This is not an anti-war movie, this is a movie about our military and civilians fighting against foreign invaders!

Li Yi also searched a lot of information for this, but sometimes the more you know, the deeper you fall into. The movie is cruel enough, but what is even more cruel is that when you go to find the real information, those who really happened When doing things, you will find that reality is more cruel than movies.

The creation process of each film is, for the director, a process of re-understanding the film and the story.

Why do we have to fight back, why do we need to resist US aggression and aid Korea?

"War Meridian" is actually a commentary, because we need to keep the enemy out of the country, we cherish peace, but at the same time, we will not be afraid of war, because if we are not strong enough, we can't even protect our own children!

Of course, compared to "Garland Under the Mountain", "War Meridian" has no sensitive places, and it will be much easier to pass the review.

Originally, Li Yi could just arrange for the company to submit the filing directly.

However, he still went to Huaying Group with the script.

"Director Li, you are a rare visitor! Sit down, what do you want to drink? Is Pu'er ready?" Zhao Guangming said with a smile on his face when Li Yi came to the door.

"I can do it!" Li Yi didn't pay much attention to drinking tea. Of course, he was not polite to Zhao Guangming, and after sitting down, he said with a smile.

Zhao Guangming began to make tea for Li Yi, and said with emotion: "You haven't seen anyone recently, and even the "When Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" celebration party is gone, what are you busy with? Is there a clue for the gift film?"

Zhao Guangming asked curiously while pouring Li Yi a cup of tea.

"Speaking of which, it has something to do with that trip to the Great Wall. Nuo, this is the result of my closed-door practice during this period of time. Director Zhao will have a look at it." Li Yi said as he took out the script of "War Meridian" and handed it to Zhao Bright way.

Zhao Guangming immediately became interested and took it.

Seeing the title of the script, Zhao Guangming couldn't help but startled.

The title "War Meridian" is actually quite strange, but Zhao Guangming didn't ask this question right away, but started to read it.

Soon he understood why Li Yi came to him with this script on purpose.

Orphans of War!

Aren't the protagonists in the film just war orphans?

Zhao Guangming couldn't help blushing after seeing only half of it.

As he continued to watch, the tears in his eye sockets kept piling up.

After a long time, he closed the script. He had thousands of words at once, but he didn't know where to start. He just picked up the cold tea and drank it down.
