Chapter 1106: Reality, but also requires a sense of distance
Of course Li Yi understood what Zhao Guangming meant, but he understood that if he had something ready-made, he would naturally not mind being a favor, but the key point was that he didn't have any.
"It's difficult, Director Zhao. You also know why there are a lot of bad reviews for those films with theme themes at this stage. In the final analysis, it is because the scripts have not been polished well and they are all rushing to make money at the box office. It is not like before
, the audience is not that easy to fool." Li Yidan said calmly.
He told the truth, the script is really important sometimes.
Especially for movies with the main theme, it can be said that the script is really more important.
In fact, the domestic market has always been experiencing a shortage of scripts.
It’s not that there are no scripts, it’s that there are no good scripts.
Especially for movies, and unlike TV series and the like, a good script for a movie is even more rare.
When looking at movies with the main theme, most of them are real events or adapted from real history.
But this adaptation also tests the screenwriter's skill.
"Who says no, but good scripts are indeed rare. However, this is not a problem for you, a gold medal screenwriter, right? And you are no stranger to films with theme themes. It can even be said that the popularity of theme themes in the past two years is still because of you.
It started, so it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Zhao Guangming smiled bitterly at first, then looked at Li Yi and said.
"Just think of it as doing me a favor. If you have any needs, you can ask them." Zhao Guangming saw that Li Yi remained calm and said directly.
Li Yi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!"
"Otherwise, I have a few notebooks here. Can you show them?" Zhao Guangming suddenly said again.
"That's okay!" Li Yi nodded.
Zhao Guangming quickly took out the script, which was obviously prepared, and handed it to Li Yi.
Li Yi lowered his head and looked.
There are four scripts in total.
The scripts that can reach Zhao Guangming's hands have obviously been screened, otherwise they would not have reached his hands.
The first script is a script with a modern theme, "Extreme Rescue". The name sounds very familiar.
However, this story is also adapted from a true story. It tells the story of a 7-year-old boy who lost his arm in an accident and completed emergency treatment across 1,400 kilometers in eight golden hours.

It also contains relevant news reports and information about real-life events.
The second script, the third script, and the fourth script are all adapted from real events.
However, Li Yi frowned quite a bit.
The main reason is that, after all, the stories in these scripts are adapted from real events, but to be honest, it is actually quite difficult to adapt such stories into movies.
One fact is that when it comes to movies adapted from real events, the biggest problem is, do you add or subtract?
Additions can easily make the audience feel more complicated, while subtractions can reduce the original excitement of the story.
Another problem is that it takes place in modern times.
There will be a situation where everyone is an expert.
In these years, the problem of three views has always existed.
For example, Li Yi remembered watching a short video before. In the short video, a man and a child were crossing a zebra crossing. The car did not slow down. If the man had not stopped the child in time, there would have been an accident.
But the comments below are very confusing.
Because there are actually a lot of people making excuses for the victims.
The "victim guilt theory" can be said to be a very common topic these days.
In fact, the main reason is that the matter has nothing to do with me, but it happened to happen in the same era.
In this way, everyone will have their own opinions and everyone has their own starting point.
For example, crossing a zebra crossing.
Some people have said that children who are not careful on the road deserve to be hit.
This kind of thing sounds reasonable, but in fact it is a very scary thing.
In the same way, the closer something happens in reality to this year, the more real it is, but the more real it is, the easier it is to cause various problems.
There are so many things to consider.
Another one is the theory of right and wrong.
For the same behavior, there will be a lot of people divided into two different groups and various arguments.
Therefore, Li Yi feels that sometimes it is really difficult to control when making such movies.
Other movies may be easier to say, but movies with main themes are really difficult in this area.
Therefore, in Li Yi's view, it doesn't mean that you can't make this kind of movie, but if you want to use this kind of movie to get a good reputation and high box office, it is really difficult.
"Why are they all scripts of this type?" Li Yi asked in confusion.
"What?" Zhao Guangming was a little confused.
"I mean, why are they all adapted from real deeds, and are they also adapted from modern real deeds?" Li Yi asked.
"Is there any problem with this?" Zhao Guangming asked doubtfully.
"It would have been no problem before, but in the current situation, it is really difficult to make this kind of movie," Li Yi said.
"Oh? What do you mean by that? Aren't movies adapted from real deeds more down-to-earth and more realistic?" Zhao Guangming asked with some confusion.
"Yes, this is true, but sometimes movies do need a sense of reality, but they still need to maintain a sense of distance." Li Yi said.
"Your statement is quite original. Tell me what you think?" This is indeed the first time Zhao Guangming has heard this statement.
"There is no problem in adapting real deeds. It can indeed increase the sense of immersion and reality, but this is a movie, not a documentary. "Wolf Warrior" is also an adaptation of real events, but it actually only borrows the background of the event. More
It is a fictional thing, a main theme movie, and a drama film, which is actually the most difficult."
"Because there are too many real things, it is easy for the audience to become "experts". Take driving as an example. Everyone knows the traffic rules and can tell a lot of truths. So once something happens,
If something is ambiguous, there will be huge controversy.
There is no real authority in this kind of thing!"
"Of course, I'm not saying that this type of story cannot be filmed, but at this stage, it is really difficult to film this type of story to the level of "I'm Not the God of Medicine."
"Especially now that the main theme movies have been baptized by those shoddy movies, many viewers will watch such movies with a magnifying glass, so at this time, the sense of distance is very important."
"So, if we really want to reverse the current situation, I think it's best to have a story with a certain distance, which is true, but not a subject that everyone understands." Li Yi said with a smile.
Just like a celebrity, it's true that you can't do it if you're not down-to-earth, but it's equally bad if you're too down-to-earth.
