tearjerker director

Chapter 964
Wang Ya is one of these evacuated overseas Chinese. There are more than [-] people like her who successfully returned to China from Africa.

Each of them couldn't help narrating their excitement on the Internet.

And this made countless netizens even more excited.

We usually enjoy peace in the country. Many people just take it for granted, but only when we really go abroad will we understand how proud it is to have a strong motherland.

People from so many countries are in Africa, but only our motherland sent warships to pick up overseas wanderers home.

How could you not be moved at that moment?

Li Yi is also watching the news, and is also proud of having such a powerful motherland.

But in my mind, I remembered two movies with the background of evacuation of overseas Chinese.

"Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea"!
The former created a box office record for domestic films, while the latter was not as good as it was, but it was also a great success.

What Li Yi recalled was not only these, but also the various controversies caused by these two movies.

Such as "Wolf Warrior 2", this movie can be said to be the most controversial one.

Of course, it is also understandable. After all, there are many people who are popular, and the same movie has won such a high box office. The influence is so great that it has long been separated from the category of the movie itself.

People who like this movie can praise the sky, those who don't like it, or those with ulterior motives, will directly step on the soles of their feet.

However, this is also the situation that such a movie will inevitably encounter.

To be honest, "Wolf Warrior 2" is not a classic purely from the perspective of a commercial film, it can only be said to be an excellent commercial film with the main theme.

There are indeed some details that make people feel that they cannot withstand scrutiny, but the movie itself is a product of artistic processing.

No matter how controversial it is, the fact is that this movie has indeed filled the gap in Huaguo genre films to some extent.

What type of film?

Personal heroism theme movie!
There are too many movies with themes like Hollywood.

Despite the various shortcomings, it has to be said that the film itself is very qualified as a commercial film.

At least in some details, it may not be as good as Hollywood, which has already made perfect, but generally speaking, it is already the pinnacle of this type of domestic film.

As for some controversies, it can only be said that as long as it is a movie with the main theme, it already carries original sin in the eyes of some people.

If you really analyze it objectively, this movie may not be a classic, but at least it is a pioneering domestic film.

Among other things, to be honest, for Li Yi, if he wanted to make such a movie, he really might not dare to say that he could make it well.

Mainly this is a shootout action movie!

First of all, it can be said that the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" is a Hollywood-style personal heroism movie with the main theme of Huaguo.

In a way, this is actually more of a personal movie.

Perhaps it's because the director of the original work is not a professional director, so most of the time he focuses on action scenes.

The literature and drama are much weaker. Of course, a commercial film, an action commercial film, you can't expect to cover everything.

Movies like this, warships, missile launches, shelling, etc., for Li Yi, with his current status and his previous cooperation with the military on "Changjin Lake", compared to the original film, it can be said that it doesn't matter. Whether it's contacts or funds, it's all over.

But the biggest problem is, the protagonist!

Yes, it is difficult to choose the protagonist, why do you say that?

Earlier Li Yi worked with people like Zhou Guo, Lin Yunbin, and even Chen Wen. To be honest, it is not difficult for them to play the role of soldiers. They have played many roles, and they themselves have received a lot of military training. , although it is only the most basic training, it can show the demeanor of a soldier very well.

At least the soldiers they played will not make people feel any sense of disobedience.

But this is a traditional military film, which is actually more of a modern action shootout film.

Although this movie has a real story background, in fact, it is not the kind of realistic movie, because it is impossible to shoot the feeling of popcorn that makes the audience happy.

It is worth mentioning here that, I don’t know when, many people seem to belittle commercial movies like “popcorn”.

But in fact, it is not that simple to achieve the effect of popcorn, that is, to make the audience enjoy watching, because in fact, to a certain extent, commercial films stimulate the visual senses, while emotional literary films, What stimulates the psychological senses, there is really no difference in the difficulty of the two.

It is impossible for this kind of movie to be applauded by everyone.

Because if you really think about making the plot completely in line with reality, then the movie won't pass the review if you don't say anything else.

Therefore, artistic processing is necessary, which is why the original film will make some critical and reasonable parties feel that it is an out-and-out bad film.

For example, many people think it’s a child’s play, and they think it’s the details of the barbed wire connection to the rocket that is the biggest bug.

But in fact, there is nothing wrong with this approach in theory.

But you will never be able to reason with those people.

Therefore, to make such a movie, the higher the box office, the greater the influence, and it is destined to bear more criticism and doubts.

Because this kind of movie itself is the main theme movie, it is impossible for you not to promote the main theme, and you have to promote that this is a patriotic film.

But often when this kind of thing starts, some people will naturally feel disgusted.

It feels like marketing patriotic feelings or something.

However, this was originally one of the main selling points of the movie!
Of course, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Your box office is so high and your influence is so great. Zeng Guofan once said: "If you are famous all over the world, you will also be slandered." This is also an inevitable thing!
Closer to home.

It can be said that if Li Yi wants to make "Wolf Warrior", then this movie may set a new box office record, but it will definitely be one of Li Yi's movies that has been questioned and has the most uneven reputation. department.

However, he didn't care too much about these things, but there was still the same problem. In this movie, the action scene was the key, and the leading actor was hard to find.

It can be said that with the decline of action movies on Hong Kong Island, domestic movies are especially modern in terms of action movies. How many real action stars are there?

No!It can be said that at least Li Yi really does not have such an actor among the people he knows.

Action actors are very hard and tiring. It can even be said that among veteran action actors like Cheng Hu, which one is not injured all over his body?It is a strange thing for them not to be injured during filming.

But old actors like Cheng Hu are already old and can't move at all.

And because action movies are declining, at least domestically produced action movies are indeed declining, so actors in this area are naturally even rarer.

However, Li Yi didn't think too much about this issue for the time being. Yes, none of the actors he knew were suitable, but with so many people in Huaguo and so many actors, it may not be true that there is no actor who can meet his requirements.
