On the first day of the new year, the discussion about the short film "Wash Mom's Feet" is still hot.
Of course, because the short film itself was directed by Li Yi, and because it had the role model from last year, many viewers still paid more attention to it.
Complaining about the Spring Festival Gala is a routine matter, and many people will complain directly without even watching it. Therefore, it is not so strange that a short film takes the spotlight.
Years later, Li Yi's work plan for this year has been decided.
The main arrangement for the first half of this year is to shoot the movie "Wolf Warrior".
But sometimes plans really can’t keep up with changes.
The male lead, Wu Qianjun, who had been confirmed, was injured.
When Li Yi received the news, he was a little confused. The key is that Wu Qianjun was injured this time, which completely disrupted the original shooting plan.
But Wu Qianjun really can't be blamed for this matter, because this injury was also an accident for Wu Qianjun, and he was injured bravely. What could Li Yineng say?
In fact, Wu Qianjun was injured this time when he was returning from a run one morning when he suddenly heard shouts around him. At the time of the incident, an aunt passing by on a bicycle found a man on the fifth floor of the building next to him.
The child fell out of the window. The child was pulling hard on the balcony railing with both hands. There was a danger of falling at any time!
"A child is about to fall! Help!" The aunt on the bicycle shouted for help, and many people saw it at the time.
After Wu Qianjun heard this, he rushed forward without hesitation to catch the child who fell from the 5th floor with his bare hands. When the child fell, he successfully caught the child. With the buffer, the child was fine, but one of his own arms was shattered.
A serious fracture is a so-called 100-day injury. According to the doctor's estimate, the recovery time will take at least three months.
In the movie "Wolf Warrior", Wu Qianjun is the protagonist, and there are a lot of action scenes, so he had to fully recover before filming.
This directly disrupted the original shooting plan.
Li Yi took Mu Qing to the hospital to visit Wu Qianjun.
"How does it feel to be a hero?" Li Yi put the fruit aside and asked with a smile.
Wu Qianjun smiled bitterly and said: "What kind of hero am I? I just happened to meet him at the right time!"
"I heard that there were a lot of people watching at that time, but you were the only one who rushed up to pick them up, so you are a hero!" Li Yi said appreciatively.
In any case, Wu Qianjun's behavior is indeed worthy of praise and admiration.
Putting yourself in his shoes, if Li Yi encountered such a thing, we ask ourselves, he may not be as hesitant as Wu Qianjun.
"It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to act in Director Li's movies anymore." Wu Qianjun said in a somewhat depressed mood.
That was Li Yi's movie, and it was such a big production. It can be said that for Wu Qianjun, it was the best opportunity in these years. It is almost conceivable that if he got such an opportunity, if nothing else happened, he would definitely
You can become famous in one battle.
It can definitely be said that his acting career has reached the sky in one step.
But now, although the doctor said three months, that is only a relatively conservative recovery time, and three months may not be enough for him to return to normal.
And can Li Yi wait so long for his movie?
He didn't have high expectations for this.
Therefore, loss is inevitable.
"Do you regret it?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
Wu Qianjun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Actually, I can't say whether I regret it or not, because at that time, I didn't think too much, I just did it subconsciously. After all, it was a human life. You
I don’t know, but I will never forget the scene of the child’s parents kneeling and kowtowing to me.”
"Because saving a child means saving a family!"
"If I do it again, I'll probably do the same thing!"
"Even if you know you will lose this opportunity?" Li Yi asked again.
A wry smile appeared on Wu Qianjun's face: "Maybe I don't have that fate."
Li Yi nodded noncommittally.
When Wu Qianjun thought about it, for such a big project with an investment of hundreds of millions, how could Li Yi delay his original plan because of him?
So, basically there is no hope anymore.
Looking back on the hard work and struggle over the years, Wu Qianjun felt that it was impossible to say that he was not unwilling at all. However, things happened, and he had no way to change them.
You can only accept your fate!
"Take good care of yourself. I have no plans to change roles. I can afford to wait for three months or half a year. We can't let our hero bleed and shed tears, right?" Li Yi suddenly smiled and looked at Wu Qianjun.
He really didn't think about replacing someone. Firstly, how could it be so easy to find a replacement temporarily?
Of course, as long as Li Yi thinks about it, it's not difficult, but as he said, you can't let the hero bleed and cry, right?
Wu Qianjun raised his head and looked at Li Yi in disbelief, the excitement in his heart showing on his face.
"Director Li, this..." Wu Qianjun's voice was trembling.
"Okay, just give me a good performance then. Recuperate now. Don't think about anything else. I have the final say in my movie. I said, the role is yours, it's yours! You can also think of it as a reward for your bravery.
!" Li Yi said with a smile.
Wu Qianjun watched Li Yi leave, but his tears fell unsatisfactorily.
Li Yi was in a good mood. Although Wu Qianjun was injured and it would take at least three months to recover, Li Yi didn't care at all.
To put it bluntly, if this project was led by others, it might not be possible to wait for Wu Qianjun, but for Li Yi, this is really not a problem.
His movies have always been decided by himself.
Wu Qianjun was injured because he acted bravely, so Li Yi would not easily replace him.
Moreover, the movie "Wolf Warrior" can also have more time to prepare.
As for Li Yi, when he was free, he thought of the song and story he had remembered before.
He had nothing to do, so he decided to take pictures.
To be honest, Li Yi didn't like the original micro-movie of "Oldboy", mainly because the early story was a bit... obscene?
Therefore, if he wanted to film it, he would definitely not copy it according to the original plot.
In fact, in Li Yi's view, the song "Old Boy" and the short film of the same name are the real essence.
Of course, compared to blockbusters like "Wolf Warrior", MV micro-movies like "Oldboy" are simply child's play for Li Yi.
However, Li Yi assigned Zhuo Yixiong a task that even Zhuo Yixiong had no idea about, to find someone!
In Li Yi's opinion, even though it would not be bad to simply film the story directly, find a singer to sing the song, and pair it with Li Yi's direction, it still feels like it lacks a bit of flavor.
Some things may only gain a deeper emotional resonance if they are experienced.
Of course, Li Yi didn't force it, he just asked Zhuo Yixiong to try to find if there was such a "prototype" character!
