The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 584 Why are you fighting?
"Tell me, do you miss your relatives in your hometown?"

"miss you!"

"Okay, then I ask everyone to close their eyes...Think about it...Think about your hometown, think about your relatives...Think about the miserable scenes we have seen all the way since we entered the court !"

The scene turned to the evening. On the way the troops passed by, the village was destroyed by the war, and there were corpses everywhere that were too late to bury.

The plane with the roaring sound of the engine gradually moved away, and the soldiers lying down in the grass showed up one after another...

The soldier stepped onto the rock with a water bottle, and suddenly stopped scooping water, looking at the stream bubbling from a distance.

The clear water is mixed with a few strokes of blood-red ink soaked in brushes, reflecting the sunset glow, and the dazzling colors are reflected in the eyes of the little soldier.

The warrior broke through the grass, waded through thorns and stones, and came to the upper stream.

A few women washing clothes fell by the stream, their blood soaked the grass and rocks, and then flowed into the clear water.

The tragedy of being killed by the bomb was unreservedly presented on the screen, carrying a powerful impact into the eyes of every audience.

"Fuck..."

Zhang Shouyan exclaimed in a low voice.

Usually the main theme of military action movies will be on a larger scale, which has been a tradition since "Mekong".

Even if it's not a DreamWorks war movie, the display of violence and blood will get more space than other movies.

Gift films naturally have greater privileges.

However, there are not many bloody scenes that directly show civilians like this, and the impact is indeed greater.

Especially with Li Yannian's "speech" and the ideological and political mobilization of little Anton, a deserter, there is a feeling of hearing thunder in a silent place.

Movies, as an art combining sound and picture, also allow the audience to silently accumulate emotions gushing out like a volcano in this period of sound and picture.

On Li Yannian's rough face, his eyes were soaked with water, as if the scene just now was echoing in his brain.

"...Then if these things...happen to your relatives in your hometown, what will you do?"

"...Little Anton, what do you do if the plane flies to your village? Even if you escape, what can you do if the plane flies over? You won't even have time to run!"

Amid Little Anton's sobbing voice, Li Yannian turned around and looked at all the soldiers, his voice sonorous and powerful.

"...If you want to live a peaceful and happy life, you can only win battles!"

Accompanied by a gunshot, Zhang Shouyan couldn't help but softly called out "Ok!"

"Well, listen to me, right?"

He turned and looked at his companion with the expression I had expected.

Friends who are also fans of the military nodded silently: "This ideological work is really amazing, and the filming is good."

Although the plot of the movie has not yet unfolded, he is also a movie fan and naturally has his own set of judgment methods that have been baptized by countless bad movies.

Although this film is a film made by DreamWorks, it is really different from most of DreamWorks' previous films.

There is no show off, no playing with the plot structure, no creative ideas, and no multi-line narrative.

It looks extremely unpretentious.

But so sincere.

Borrowing the contradiction caused by a deserter, using a simple literary drama, simple language and simple but tragic pictures that are not ostentatious, the emotions are aroused.

And this truth is so simple, yet so shocking.

Because few similar films have reached this level before.

Why fight.

This level is not esoteric, and even everyone knows it, and it is included in history and political textbooks.

But it seems that either they don't care about this point, or they don't know how to implement this point, or they feel that the answer to why they fight in the textbook is too hypocritical.

Just like many movies he has seen before, the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers seems to be innate, and it seems to be inspired by brotherhood.

A cowardly person who doesn't want to fight and just wants to escape, he is moved by other people's sacrifices, he is infected by the emotion of cheering, he is moved by the rented singing and dancing, and he is enraged by the tragedy of his brother who is only close at hand Yes, the heroism hidden in the bones was inspired, and then I became brave.

Or a rebellious, alternative, rebellious person, he was moved by brotherly loyalty, so he understands the truth of sacrificing for others.

This kind of characterization and behavioral logic seems normal if it is placed in police and robbers, science fiction, ancient wars or other themes.

But putting it in modern war movies, especially with themes like Korean War or Liberation, always makes him feel that it is against harmony.

It's just that these are the patterns formed by many films of this type in the past.

People like rebellious protagonists, protagonists who are full of personalities, brotherly loyalty, and heroism.

Do not believe in those noble things, those higher things.

However, this unpretentious plot told him that the sublime is not far away and not false. When he falls down, it is the simplest emotion in everyone's heart.

The so-called tree first takes root.

And this movie took root just now.

From this alone, he can feel the sincerity of the film creators.

This is the tribute movie of the Korean War.

If a film like this does not clarify the root of why we are fighting, why we are fighting this war is the root of justice, wouldn't it just be a reskin of "The Mekong River" or "Operation Red Sea" to the background of the Korean War?Is it still worth taking pictures?Isn't there already a domestic high-level military action movie?

Or worse, just change the skin of Hong Kong police and gangster movies to the background of the Korean War.

Zhang Shouyan looked at his companion and nodded, feeling a little proud and fortunate in his heart.

In fact, he just bought the ticket with his friends for the sake of "Sky Eagle Warrior" and felt that he had to support Tian Xinye, the director, and he was also a military fan.

Did not expect to get an unexpected surprise.

At the same time, in another theater's IMAX theater, which was the premiere theater, Guan Hu just looked at the big screen in silence.

After the gunshot, the bullet hit the branch on Little Anton's head.

"Little Anton, you have already died once as a deserter. From now on, you are no longer living for a second girl, but are living to protect thousands of second girls."

Li Yannian was wearing the unbelievable little Anton's military cap, and behind him was the voice of the company commander: "Every squad, go back and discuss today's affairs. The cadres will have a meeting at the battalion headquarters to study the battle plan!"

Little Anton went from being unbelievable to being reborn. Accompanied by melodious and heavy orchestral music, a resounding "Yes!" spewed out from his chest, echoing in the auditorium, shaking the nerves and eardrums of every audience.

Guan Hu could feel that his wife Liang Jing who was sitting next to him seemed to be shocked by the loud answer of the little soldier on the screen.

Before that, he had been silently analyzing the camera lens, light and shadow of the movie, and even in every scene he automatically generated the position of the camera and the placement of props in his brain.

This is the occupational disease of being a director.

Of course, because of this, he despised him at first. In his eyes, although Tian Xinye was a director who didn't know how to tell stories, was not good at creating scripts, and was lucky enough to be picked up by DreamWorks—he considered himself a creative director—— But I am sure about its lens language and shooting style.

Whether it is in the TV series "Signal", "The Walking Dead" in the first season, or in movies such as "District [-]" and "Aquila", his distinctive lens and light and shadow have left a deep impression on people.

But in this movie, it seems that it has lost its former style, and every shot is quite satisfactory.

It even made him think for the first time whether this is a movie directed by Tian Xinye, and then it was possible that Tian Xinye, as the director of this task film, had no right to speak, and the shackles were too heavy to perform.

Either he didn't put his energy into this movie. After all, his last movie was "Skyhawk Warrior", and there are indeed such rumors in the market. Joining the group, he spent too much energy on "Skyhawk Warrior" and took charge of the task of "Li Yannian" purely to rush the ducks to the shelves.

But soon, Guan Hu changed his mind.

Especially in this scene, Li Yannian's speech is interspersed with montage images. The straightforward plot without any technical difficulty is like a spring, accumulating undercurrent and surging energy.

It can be felt from the silent and increasingly solemn atmosphere in the theater.

As a director, he has been in theaters countless times to watch his own movies with audiences. He is very keen on the difference between the silence that the audience feels bored and the silence that is completely immersed in the plot, and will not be confused.

Even the audience may have already followed the baton of the movie with surging emotions in their hearts.

Because he himself was completely touched by the huge dramatic tension generated by this "ordinary" scene, his brain automatically stopped analyzing each shot unconsciously.

As a result, Tian Xinye's inattentive guess about the film has turned into his seemingly trying to restrain his distinctive style.

Movies are all result-oriented. If the effect is good, then the director must have done something right.

The simplicity of lens language becomes restraint.

But why was there such a big emotion in his heart?
Good script?
Of course, the actor who plays Li Yannian's lines in this scene is simply perfect, the language is simple and even straightforward, but extremely sincere.

Acting skills are also like spring breeze and rain, every move, gesture, and eye pupil are perfectly integrated with the lines.

Even if it is put into a drama, it is extremely contagious.

Coupled with the appropriate interspersed montage images, the whole movie's conception is quietly and thunderously neutral.

Ingeniously not working.

These four words emerged in his mind out of his control.

Not only the script, but also the style of the whole movie made him feel a little panicked.

Before the premiere, the scene of Chen Jingxing walking away unceremoniously reappeared, as if to say that the people he thought had the same thoughts as him were actually not his fellow travelers at all.

This movie seems to have become his consistent idea, the opposite of his creative concept from "Eight Hundred" to "King Kong River".

And this "negative" is still proving that what he thinks is false and untouchable can enter the audience's heart and move the audience.

It was like a slap across the face.
