Chapter 1,186 Real suffering is silent because they cannot make a sound
Li Yi told the story of "Into the Dust" using a "country love" model.
This makes veteran directors like Cao Shujun and Tang Lu who like to make films that criticize reality, explore the dark side of society, and reflect real problems feel like they can't get up and down.
Because the story of "Into the Dust" told by Li Yi, in fact, in their opinion, can completely expose the ugliness of human nature. Two miserable people can fully explore why they are so miserable and can show more side effects.
The indifference of the reader, etc.
But in the end, if we film it according to the plot Li Yi said, what does that mean?
A poor version of life and death, undying love?
Rural version of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai? Romeo and Juliet?
What are these people riding on horses?
For a moment, they all looked at Li Yi strangely.
The previous "Warm Spring" had long been thrown out of the window by them, because compared to stories like "Warm Spring", they clearly realized that the story of "Into the Dust" is more expandable. If you dig it carefully
, then you can definitely make a very amazing rural movie.
However, when he saw Li Yi's smile, Tang Ludi reacted immediately.
Sure enough, he was clicked by Li Yihuang.
Yes, the story can be told like this, but can the movie be shot like this?
You can also shoot like this.
But the movie can definitely show more content, so although the core of this story seems to be love, in fact, when it is made into a movie, what the audience will see will definitely not be the so-called love.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the blind date at the beginning of the chapter has actually shown a lot of things in just a few words.
For example, horses need iron to feed donkeys, such as Cao Guiying's incontinence, etc., as well as their family's attitude towards them.
If these were made into a movie, it would be impossible not to show them.
Therefore, this will definitely not be a sentimental and tender movie. On the contrary, it will be a very heart-wrenching movie.
When telling a story, you can only tell the main plot, but when making a movie, a complete movie, it is impossible to only tell the main plot.
There will inevitably be a series of side plots. Why is it so difficult to play Ma Youtie?
Why did the two of them obviously live in poverty, but they still supported each other and had touching warmth, but the result turned into despair?
Just because of an accident?
Absolutely not!
Others also reacted one after another.
The next moment they looked at Li Yi, their eyes were filled with heat.
Why did Li Yi tell the story here?
It's definitely not showing off, and he couldn't have filmed both stories himself, right?
In these days and months, it is actually impossible to say that these directors have no strength or ability.
So why are there only a handful of good movies made by them?
In fact, the biggest reason is that the script is lacking!
Compared with commercial films, it is actually harder to find good scripts for artistic films.
Because commercial films have routines and templates.
It’s not that the scripts of commercial films are not important, but at least there are traces to follow. However, there is indeed no specific template in this regard for literary and artistic films. The Hollywood three-stage structure can be applied to commercial films, but literary and artistic films But it doesn’t work….
From this point of view, there are many commercial films that follow the trend, but there are very few works that follow the trend in literary and artistic films.
For a director, making a literary film is artistic creation. If your artistic creation is to imitate others, what else is there to talk about artistic creation?
Commercial films are different, they make money and are not shabby!
And with their eyes, they can naturally see that the second story Li Yi told is really promising.
Because there are so many places to explore in a story like this, and more importantly, if the main plot is enough to inspire tears, then there is no need to worry about the side plots, backgrounds, etc. being too sinister.
Dark, too depressing, etc.
At the same time, if a movie like this can be released in theaters, you won’t have to worry about no one watching it.
Why do you say that?
In fact, the reason why many literary and artistic films make audiences feel sleepy is really because they lack the ability to appreciate them?
Or don’t have enough vision?
In fact, it’s really not the case. It’s because many literary and artistic films have a very slow pace and the main plot is often vague. Many literary and artistic film directors don’t like to give a clear main plot.
Even when they make a movie, they may not have a complete story line.
"Director Li, what's the name of the second story?" Tang Lu finally couldn't help but ask.
"Disappear into the smoke!"
"Disappearing into the dust and smoke?" Everyone couldn't help but be a little stunned, but after chewing carefully, everyone's eyes lit up.
"What a disappearing figure!" Cao Shujun couldn't help but cheer.
Everyone nodded, but no one said what was good about it.
There are some things that you understand once you understand them, but it’s useless to explain them if you don’t understand them.
"However, there is no mention of suffering in this story. How can you say it is completely opposite to the previous story?" Tang Lu asked.
Li Yi smiled and said: "Because I always feel that real suffering is silent, because they can't make a sound, and no one listens or cares. In the end, they get used to silence."
Cao Shujun was silent, Tang Lu was silent, Zhou Changqing was thoughtful, and everyone else had different reactions.
Li Yi, however, was minding his own business and said: "Cao Guiying was regarded as a burden by his family because of his physical condition, and no one cared about him. Ma Youtie stayed away from his family, and would only think of him when he needed help from coolies.
The two of them were silent most of the time except in front of each other, and no one cared about their thoughts and opinions.
The final fate of Ma Youtie and Cao Guiying was like the dust on the vast land, disappearing into the yellow sand and smoke. This kind of life is so small that it is not worth mentioning, and no one cares about it. This is The real source of suffering for both of them.
I always think that suffering does not tell you how miserable they are, but the pain and tolerance in their hearts, which is common to people like them. We may not be able to survive the life they repeat every day.
They turned "suffering" into a habit, a habit that is the way life is.
The sky full of yellow sand will eventually cover it all, and no one will care what was buried beneath it.
So, they finally disappeared into the dust.
Before long, no one will care about their ending, and they will soon be forgotten.
People in the village may only mention those two people when chatting, and that’s it!
Compared with the story of "Warm Spring", which is bitter and sweet, then "Into the Dust" is only a little sweet and a little bitter, and the rest is bitter.
However, I feel that the reason why suffering can become strength is not because of the suffering itself, but from our introspection of the causes of suffering, as well as the compassion and courage shown in the face of suffering! Just like "Into the Dust"
