tearjerker director

After Mu Qing woke up, Li Yi told her this idea again.

"You want to shoot "Heidi"?" Mu Qing was astonished when she heard that.

"Yes, the magnificent scenery described in it must be beautiful, right? Don't you want to take a look?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"There are soaring eagles, snow-capped mountains and green meadows, groundhogs and bighorn goats, wild flowers and butterflies, big trees, mountain springs, big dogs and swings in the wind. I checked the information, and Heidi's hometown is located in In the canton of Graubünden in eastern Switzerland, there is a "Heidi Village" in Maienfeld, with alpine lakes and vast snowfields. It takes two hours to hike to Heidi Mountain and look at the sky. The Alps don't care about a hundred years and a thousand years. Ten thousand years, but I think Heidi's eyes in the story will always linger there." Li Yi continued.

Mu Qing's eyes were suddenly filled with starlight. She liked this story very much. It can be said that she had heard of it since she was a child, but she had never been to the poetic Alps described in the book.

"I hate you, you know that my current appearance is not suitable for traveling far, but you still tempt me." Mu Qing patted Li Yi angrily.

"Hehe, the mountains are there, the scenery is there, and Heidi is also there. Now that you have a baby, it's really not suitable for you to go on a long trip. Go and visit Heidi's hometown in person, but I can take pictures and bring them back to you. Now, I will take you and your baby to watch this movie in the theater." Li Yi comforted with a smile.

"But I really want to see it with my own eyes. I have wanted to since I was a child, but I don't know why, but I gradually forgot about it." Mu Qing said rather annoyed.

In fact, Mu Qing could have gone there a long time ago to have a look, but sometimes it is so strange, she has never been able to think of the place she had longed for so much.

The story of "Heidi" is actually far less famous in China than the characters in some familiar fairy tales, but in fact, the film and television works related to "Heidi" were introduced in China as early as the 80s.

However, at that time, the social environment was very different from what it is now.

To put it simply, in that era, the current overcrowded scenic spots in China were not inferior at all, even worse, but in that year, the domestic economy had just begun to develop, so naturally there would be no leisure to visit. Category.

But now, with the development of the economy, especially in today’s world, a phone can lead to all parts of the world, a ticket can go anywhere, human beings have begun to explore space, and biotechnology and AI technology are breaking through the limitations of conventional thinking with each passing day. .

On the contrary, in the busy and fast-paced social environment in the bustling and fast-paced social environment, people are more eager for the idyllic life, Tao Yuanming's small bridges and flowing water, spring flowers and autumn moon.

Of course, no matter what, since Li Yi has decided, he will not deliberately consider whether there will be a market for this movie.

In my memory, the latest movie "Heidi and Grandpa", although it was screened in China, was only well received but not well received.

It scored more than 9 points on the Internet, with almost zero negative reviews, but it did not get a matching commercial box office result, but there are many reasons. …

One is because, in the world in Li Yi's memory, "Heidi and Grandpa" can be said to be an "old" movie, because the movie was released overseas a few years ago.

There are many other reasons, such as insufficient publicity, poor film schedule, many strong competitors in the same schedule, and so on.

But here with Li Yi, to be honest, he is really not worried.

The main reason is that there is no need to worry about arranging the film and promoting it when writing his "directed by Li Yi" film.

Li Yi still has this confidence.

Another one, he wants to make this movie, he doesn't need to think about the box office at all, he really just likes it.

However, Li Yi is also not in a hurry for this movie. There are still more than three months before the Chinese New Year, which is enough for him to make this movie.

After all, the novel is just a novel, and some changes must be made to make it into a movie. Li Yi has several "ready-made" works in his mind for reference.

Since you want to shoot "Heidi", you must go to Switzerland, Heidi's hometown.

This time Li Yi took Xu Nannan and his son with him.

After arriving in Switzerland, Li Yi realized that Heidi is really a household name here.

Who Are the Most Famous Swiss Women?Heidi, of course.She is to Switzerland what "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is to Germany, "Andersen's Fairy Tales" is to Denmark, "Pinocchio" is to Italy, and "The Little Prince" is to France. She is the most famous spokesperson for Switzerland.The little girl in the Swiss mountains is a household name in Switzerland, but she is "purely fictional".

The destination of Li Yi, Xu Nannan and the little guy is Mananfield-Dovri Village, where the story of "Heidi" takes place, which has long been developed into the hometown of Heidi.

The villages here have been renamed "Heidi Village", and the cultural characteristics of this Alpine girl are everywhere.

There are many places selling "Heidi" souvenirs, where Li Yi's family saw all kinds of Heidi-related things, such as Heidi chocolates, magnets, Heidi badges, Heidi postcards, etc., and so on.

The Heidi Hotel where Li Yi and the others stayed, as the name suggests, has the characteristics of an Alpine girl everywhere.

Heidi and grandpa also have the wooden clock with the carved bird telling the time in the cabin.

The cups in the cafe are all engraved with Heidi's pattern.

In the hotel, Heidi's figure is also indispensable on the car with the quilt.

The "Peter Playhouse" above the Heidi Hotel and Restaurant, with a plastic cow next to it.

And from Heidi Road to Heidi Ranch, it can be said that it has brought many surprises to Li Yi and the three along the way.

I have to say that "Heidi" is indeed special among the protagonists of fairy tales that Li Yi recognizes.

Because, although Heidi is a fictional character, everything around Heidi seems to be real. Here is the kind of beauty described in the novel, with the blue sky above the head, the magnificent snow-capped mountains behind, and the green grass in front of her eyes. Stretch, herds of cattle and sheep
Everything is as if Heidi really existed.

This gave Li Yi an urge to film this story even more.

Of course, this time Li Yi came to play more, and other jobs such as sceneries did not require Li Yi to do it himself. On the side of Dean Films, Li Yi asked James Dean to talk about his After thinking about it, Dean Films attached great importance to it.

Mainly these days, this kind of movie for all ages is indeed a promising movie type in their opinion.

Therefore, on the contrary, it made Li Yi a lot easier. He only needs to direct the general direction and assign tasks, and the rest will naturally be followed up by a professional team.
