tearjerker director

Chapter 883 If someone really sees the love between mother and son, then this movie will fail.

"We all know this. The key is, are you interested in this subject matter, this story?" You Ningsheng said.

"If you are interested, everyone knows your ability in screenwriting. Lao Qi just wants to put the story on the screen, whether it is a big screen or a small screen, it can be regarded as helping him realize his dream." You Ningsheng continued.

"Because Sister Tao passed away three months ago, I promised her that if there is a chance, I will put his story on the screen and let more people know about her." Qi Lin looked at Li Yi with a little expectation, and said.

Li Yi didn't speak, but looked at Mu Qing.

Mu Qing nodded and said, "I'm quite interested in this story."

"That's great." Qi Lin said repeatedly.

Although Qi Lin is also a screenwriter and his net worth is not low, it is still very difficult to invest in such a movie.

Moreover, it is impossible for him to make a small investment casually and then shoot it. In that case, it would not be a dream come true, but a ruin of the story.

Although he doesn't expect Li Yi to direct it himself, if Mu Qing is interested, although Mu Qing's reputation is not as good as Li Yi, she is not a small director, and her strength is still convincing.

The point is, she is Li Yi's wife, can Li Yi not help?

And as long as Li Yi is willing to help, then there is no need to worry about the film being shot.

"However, "The Thief of Time" is about to start filming. I'm afraid I won't be able to spare too much time. However, I do have some ideas. Let me talk about it. Listen to it. If you think it's okay, Uncle You and Qi Sir, both of you are old screenwriters and can help make the script." Li Yi thought for a while and said.

"Oh? Tell me." You Ningsheng asked with his eyes brightened.

Although Li Yi is more famous as a director, no one dares to ignore his screenwriting ability.

That is because his directing ability is too strong, so, on the contrary, his screenwriting ability is inconspicuous, but everyone knows that the script, the script, the basis of a play.

For a movie to be made well, of course the director is very important, but so is the screenwriter.

As for Li Yi's films, perhaps some of them are indeed a demonstration of the director's ability, but there are also many films that rely on the creativity of the screenwriter.

For example, "The Truman Show", it can be said that script creativity is the most critical thing for this movie to achieve such a great success.

"The story of "Fifty Years of a Maid" is too long. As I said before, it is impossible for a movie to accommodate such a long content. If we want to put this story on the big screen, we need to make it clear first. What's the theme?" Li Yi thought for a while and said.

Both You Ningsheng and Qi Lin fell into deep thought.

Mu Qing also frowned slightly.

Indeed, movies and TV shows are different.

TV dramas can have a lot of space to tell the story of a person for decades.

The subject matter often does not need to be so clear.

But movies are different, movies are concentrated essence.

Then there must be a main line, a theme.

Or family, or love, or revenge and so on.

"First of all, I want to ask Qi Sheng, what do you think the relationship between you and Sister Tao is? Is it mother-child love?" Li Yi asked.

Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It seems that I haven't reached that level, but... I can't say it well."

"Qi Sheng, you and Sister Tao belong to the master and servant, so I think that love also belongs to the master and servant. My idea is that we can discuss the emotions of normal people. There is no exaggeration or derogation. It is the best to be cautious. , is also the most real.

If someone can really see the love between mother and child in the film we made, then the film will fail. "

Everyone nodded when they heard it.

Perhaps in some families, servants and masters may indeed have emotions beyond master and servant, but obviously in Qi Lin's script and story, it has not reached that level.

"First of all, we need to understand that Sister Tao has served the old servants of the Qi family for decades. It can be said that she watched the second-generation young master Qi Sheng grow up. It has become a habit for her to take care of you. At the same time, you also Get used to having her take care of you!

If it continues like this, then Qi Sheng, you will not have the idea of ​​writing Sister Tao's story, so where is the turning point?Qi Sheng, when did you decide to write her story? " Li Yi asked again.

"Probably after she had a stroke, I suddenly realized that I was used to being served and taken care of by her in the past, but I always ignored her existence." Qi Lin said.

Li Yi nodded and said: "Then, if we want to shoot this story, we can also start from here."

"Sister Tao is in the story of Qisheng you. What kind of person is she? First of all, she should be a very dedicated maid. Treat her own children, but at the same time, what is the most valuable thing about her? What do you think is it?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"I think it's probably because she has never longed for anything?" Mu Qing thought for a while and said.

"Stay true to your duty?" You Ningsheng asked uncertainly.

"That's right, she just kept her duty. She never asked us to give her too many benefits, care, and status. She always abided by her duty as a servant and maid." Qi Lin nodded affirmatively.

Li Yi smiled and said: "I saw in your script that after she got old and fell ill, you sent her to a nursing home and gave her a lot of help and care, but Sister Tao didn't want to bother you, right? ?”

"Actually, the emotional fluctuations in the whole story are not intense. Therefore, I think the best way to deal with this story is to dilute the dramatic conflicts and show more of the words and deeds of daily life, every tea and every cup of tea. Rice, use this kind of moistening and silent way to describe Sister Tao's life, old age, sickness and death, and outline Qi Sheng, your family and all living beings in the nursing home.

Some stories don't need to be vigorous, because the plain and true are more intriguing, and they can also be mixed with humorous details. I believe that the way of getting along between master and servant will make the audience smile knowingly while being moved.Therefore, in terms of theme, I think it can focus on showing the loneliness and pain of the elderly in their later years. This kind of plain reality, I think, is the most touching part of this story.what do y'all think? "

"Actually, the relationship between Qi Sheng and Sister Tao, and their emotions, I think can easily resonate with the public. When Sister Tao is alive, or when Sister Tao can still wash and cook for you, and take care of you, you In fact, I didn’t think about doing something for her. Instead, I started to look at this master-servant relationship again after Sister Tao got sick and even passed away. I think you really want to make this movie, and you also have something for Sister Tao. A piece of guilt is in it, and there is a psychology of self-redemption, right?"

"And this is actually a portrayal of our young people today? When our parents and elders are still healthy, we often ignore them instead"
