Chapter 1,104 Some shortcomings cannot be forgiven
Hearing Chen Wen's words, Li Yi couldn't help but smile.
Li Yi had known about it before, but although he had not seen the complete version of the movie, he had only seen part of it, and he gave the movie a death sentence.
"Brother, you are right to the point. The biggest problem with this movie is that if it were a movie with other themes, it would be harmless. But as a movie with the main theme, it is a bit problematic." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Many of us now don't like perfect male protagonists and perfect heroes. This is understandable. Therefore, most of the main theme movies have begun to paint the heroes with other colors.
It makes the once perfect heroes appear more down-to-earth, but I think the biggest problem with this movie is that it didn't control the scale well," Li Yi added.
"Measurement? You mean, the shortcomings are too big?" Chen Wen asked.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, heroes can be imperfect and have shortcomings. For example, in "Garland Under the Mountain", Zhao Mengsheng, played by Zhou Guo, has shortcomings, but his shortcomings are actually acceptable to the audience, because,
It can be said that with his shortcomings, it is human nature to put himself in someone else's shoes.
Not every soldier is not afraid of death from the beginning, and understands what responsibility is and what the honor of a soldier is from the beginning.
Therefore, you can give him some shortcomings.
The same is true for Jin Kailai. He also has shortcomings. His shortcomings are his bad mouth, his poisonous tongue, and his stupidity!
But these shortcomings are also acceptable and can make the character flesh and blood.
However, the shortcomings of the male protagonist in "Heroes on Fire" are no longer certain, but are character and moral flaws that are unacceptable.
He was an alcoholic, a gambler, and domestic violence, not only to his wife but also to his children.
Such a person, with such shortcomings, is difficult to accept as soon as he appears. In the end, he did do something to prevent the fire from spreading, but the question is, can the merits and demerits cancel each other out?
When we look at many heroes with flaws, what they do is not unacceptable, or at least it has reasons that everyone can understand.
But alcoholism, being a gambler, and domestic violence can be explained by the former, but what about the latter?
It’s useless no matter how you try to defend him!”
To put it simply, it’s like Tian Boguang, he is a flower picker and can be said to do bad things. For such a person, no matter how many good things he does and how loyal he is, he cannot be cleansed.
Although the male protagonist of "Heroes on Fire" has not reached this level, there is no way to clear his name.
What he may have done is a hero to the entire factory, but to his wife and children, it will never be forgiven.
"What about "The Ordinary Brave"? This film does not have unforgivable shortcomings like "Heroes on Fire", but why is it still criticized?" Lin Yunbin asked.
""The Ordinary Brave" was just a random shoot!" Before Li Yi could answer, Chen Wen said with disdain.
"Why did you just take the photo blindly?" Lin Yunbin asked with a frown.
"Ordinary Brave" is a movie about ordinary people acting bravely for justice.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the overall outlook of the film, which is completely different from the previous "Heroes of the Sea of Fire".
But this movie, as Chen Wen said, was indeed made in vain.
"To be honest, I really don't know what the director was thinking. This movie is called "Ordinary Brave Man" but the actual content is not called an accident investigation report. It takes a lot of time to explain why the accident occurred.
It will happen, I don't understand at all, why do you do this?" Chen Wen said directly.
In fact, as Chen Wen said, the concept and theme of "Ordinary Brave Man" are actually a good choice.
After all, in this era, ordinary brave men are indeed worthy of encouragement and admiration.
But the problem is that the movie does put the cart before the horse a bit.
Most of the entire movie is spent investigating the cause of the accident.
As Chen Wen said, it is simply an accident investigation report.
"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's still a question of sincerity." Li Yi concluded.
"I read some information about related movies. Each of these movies is in a hurry from preparation to release. Although many of them are adapted from real events, these movies have not been approved before the project is approved.
In the beginning, there was little sincerity, and I came just to catch this wave of popularity.
In fact, the problems are not difficult to find. They are all major flaws in the script. If there were more time to polish the script, those flaws would not be difficult to solve. However, no one wants to seriously make a movie, just to take advantage of the opportunity.
The brand with the main theme can make a fortune," Li Yi said bluntly.
This is indeed the case.
To say that these previous movies were useless is not true.
In fact, there are many themes that are quite good.
For example, in "Heroes of the Sea of Fire", if the character's personality can be fleshed out, then maybe it will be a different situation.
Another example is "The Ordinary Brave Man". To be honest, Li Yizhen didn't know where the screenwriter came from. He was not professional at all and the script was a complete mess.
To put it bluntly, it is a matter of eagerness for quick success.
This is normal, after all, the market feedback from previous theme movies has been really good.
To make a movie and make a profit, it doesn’t need to be too good, the audience will pay for it.
Therefore, this leads to the frequent occurrence of shoddy products.
"Hey, it's just a pity. What was originally a good situation was created by this group of people who are eager for quick success. Now the main theme of the movie, not to mention everyone shouting, has really disgusted the audience and movie fans." Lin Yunbin sighed.
In fact, how could they not know these objective reasons?
In fact, not only the directors and screenwriters of these movies are eager for quick success, but also the actors themselves, too?
After all, money comes so easily.
The box office revenue can easily reach hundreds of millions or even billions.
Who is not moved after seeing it? Who is not jealous after seeing it?
At this moment, Li Yi's cell phone rang.
Li Yi took a look and saw that it was Zhao Guangming from Huaying Group.
Soon, Li Yi hung up the phone strangely.
Because Zhao Guangming called and also talked about the main theme movie.
In fact, theme-themed movies are booming and have even become mainstream films on the big screen. It can be said that filmmakers like Zhao Guangming and others with official backgrounds are happy to see this happen.
However, the current situation also makes Zhao Guangming and the others think quite passively.
Because the prosperity of the market created by main theme movies can be said to be inseparable from the support of China Film Group.
The popularity of theme films is not only due to the environment, but also to the strong support of official-backed film and television organizations such as China Film and Television, which control the largest distribution channels in the country.
】
But now it appears embarrassingly, and the main theme movie seems to have returned overnight to the situation many years ago, when it was scolded as soon as it appeared.
