Regarding Chen Wen's story, to be honest, if it's not a bad movie, it's probably just like that.
But this is Chen Wen's first movie after all, so he probably doesn't care too much.
"Why do I think your movie has no meaning at all? Forget Love, Forget Love, but you have nothing to do with it. The biggest controversy of Forget Love is not shown in the movie." Everyone is familiar with it, so there is no need for it at all.
Give Chen Wen some face.
Tang Lu joked directly with a smile.
"I think this first movie of yours is probably going to be a bad movie." Chu Xuexiang couldn't help but said.
Everyone mercilessly denigrated Chen Wen's story to the point that Chen Wen could not stand it anymore.
"No, can't you say something nice?" Chen Wen said angrily.
"The point is, you don't have much to say!" Lin Yunbin took a bite of the grilled sausage and said with a smile.
"Yes, who says it's not?"
"Li Yi, screenwriter Li, what do you think? This is my first film, how about you give me some advice?" Chen Wen saw that everyone was not optimistic about it, and suddenly looked at Li Yi with a smile on his face and said.
"No, Li Yi, don't write a book for him. Isn't this blindness? If you really want to have a good story, you can shoot it yourself. He is an actor. He can't learn anything. He can learn from other people's acting and he can direct it if he is good.
, but do you have that ability?" Lin Yunbin said without giving any face.
Everyone also agreed.
Obviously, everyone is not very optimistic about Chen Wen. Some things can be seen from the story Chen Wen told before and he was still complacent. He may be a good actor, but as for the director, forget it.
"No, am I as bad as you say?" Chen Wen immediately stopped.
But the masses are so sharp-eyed!
"This kind of year-end love is the most beautiful year-end love..." Tang Lu said with some yin and yang, imitating the way Chen Wen spoke before.
Li Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing, but he didn't notice that Old Tang was usually a serious person, but he didn't expect that he was quite interesting in private.
At this time, a movie suddenly flashed in Li Yi's mind. What should I say?
If you call this movie "Love Forever", it seems to count, but in fact, it doesn't.
And the story can definitely beat Chen Wen’s lame story instantly.
Li Yi couldn't help but "see" it again in his mind.
The more I watch Li Yi, the more I like it, because that movie actually has nothing to do with Forever Love. The whole movie makes Li Yi feel shocked!
Although the plot is indeed rigorous, if you look at it carefully, you will find many unreasonable places.
But this movie is not simply a drama, but a "fantasy" movie.
Especially at the end, when the male protagonist turned into a baby and lay in the heroine's arms and closed his eyes, Li Yi felt an urge to cry for some reason.
I saw that Li Yi was "habitually" distracted again.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and this time, Li Yi actually moved himself, which made everyone's curiosity even higher.
"What story made me cry first?" Mu Qing asked curiously.
"Yes, come on, tell me, we listened to Lao Chen's story for a long time and felt lonely. If you want to make up the story, you have to be Li Yi!" Tang Lu also said with a smile.
This time Chen Wen just rolled his eyes. He also knew that he was not the material, so he became more and more curious about Li Yi's story.
Of course, he didn't care if he was teased. It was really rare for him to tease each other casually like this.
These individuals present may not all have that close relationship, but at least they can be considered old friends who can joke with each other.
In fact, this kind of thing also depends on the occasion. For example, Lin Jinrong is not that familiar with Chen Wen and Lin Yunbin, and they are juniors. However, if he makes a few jokes on such an occasion, no one will think it's a big deal.
Of course, Lin Jinrong can only say that he has just tried to enter this circle, and is still far from truly integrating into it.
Back to business.
Li Yi took a long breath.
Then he said with a smile: "On the contrary, Brother Wen's story gave me some inspiration. The biggest problem with year-end love is that the greater the age gap, the greater the difference in physiological functions, not to mention the difference in experience, and the most important thing is,
The difference in remaining lifespan!”
"We often say that birth, old age, illness and death are the natural laws of human beings and are irresistible. Therefore, I suddenly came up with an idea. Everyone starts from the time they fall on the ground, and gradually grows up, becomes a teenager, becomes a young man, reaches adulthood, and finally reaches adulthood.
Middle age, old age, and finally leaving this world."
Although Li Yi didn't tell the story in detail yet, no one interrupted him.
"We all know that everyone is of different age groups and will have different ideas, goals, and attitudes toward life. Everyone will experience birth, old age, illness, and death. This is irreversible.
So, I’m thinking, life and death are irreversible, but time makes people grow old, what if it’s the other way around?”
"In reverse? What do you mean?" Tang Lu looked confused.
"Rejuvenation?"
"You mean, the older you grow, the younger you become?"
Everyone gave their thoughts one after another.
"What we understand as life, life, is that a person should live from inexperience to proficiency, get used to joys and sorrows, get used to highs and lows, and then slowly die of old age because there is nothing in the world that can be proficient.
If you go on adventures with an old appearance, it is called childlike innocence. If you live a peaceful life with a pink skin, it is called premature aging. Life is not long. There are more stories and more people every day, and the longer it gets, the worse it gets.
Shen. One look in his eyes, one bowed his head, his expression was sad.
But what if, the other way around?
Just like what you said about rejuvenation, the older you grow, the younger you become?
When you are born, you look like an old man, not only in appearance, but also in body functions. So what kind of life will it be like?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What kind of story will happen when others grow up young and he grows up old? "
Li Yi revealed his idea, and everyone was shocked.
Keep growing up!
"No, grow up? What about in the end? Will he become a baby and die?" Tang Lu frowned and didn't understand.
But Chen Wen suddenly slapped his thigh: "Awesome! He was born as an old man. When others were children, he looked like an old man. His peers were young and young, but he was in his twilight years. His peers began to
He grew up, but his temples were gray. His peers began to grow old, but he began to rejuvenate. His peers grew old, but he began to grow in the opposite direction, and gradually even turned into the appearance of people when they were born...
...Fuck, this idea is really awesome!”
Chen Wen was extremely excited.
The more others think about it, the more they think this story and this idea are really amazing.
"How did you come up with that?"
Li Yi had already calmed down. In fact, he was also thinking about why he felt inexplicably crying and sad after "watching" the movie in his mind.
I cry because I feel lost after discovering an astonishing secret, because in such an incredible fantasy life, I actually see my own shadow - the secret: In fact, each of us suffers from a terminal disease such as "aging disease"
, it’s just that it’s difficult to detect because it’s different from Benjamin’s symptoms.
So he organized the language and said: "From the moment we leave the mother's body, we have learned to cry to the world to announce our arrival. We babbling and calling the first "Mom" vaguely;
We couldn't help but point to the various little animals that jump, jump, and pee everywhere with curiosity to find out their names, learn to describe, describe and record their stories;
We played and fought with our friends and learned to quarrel over a toy. We learned ellipses, periods, and exclamation points in Chinese class;
We read the story of "meeting a bosom friend in high mountains and flowing water" in the textbook, and understood what it means to "know the elegant meaning of a stringed song". We discovered that shyness can be a kind of reserve, and ambiguous signals can also be conveyed by eyes;
We understand that although the world is big, it is not owned by ourselves alone. We must grasp the sense of proportion in our hearts and move forward and retreat quietly without showing any signs of it;
We are familiar with hiding mistakes and meaningless words in different ways depending on the person, replacing long chapters with poems and allusions. We learn to listen to what is said, what is meant, and watch the play within the play, outside the situation...
As we grow older, our skin begins to loosen, and fine lines appear on our temples. We practice various grammar and expression skills, but the vocabulary we can use fluently and freely becomes less and less. In the end, our language ability is not even as good as that of a newborn baby.
, at least they can cry without fear, while we can only remain silent.
More than that, time carries scars, bloodstains, love, and nostalgia. When we experience more and more things, our memory declines with age. When we think we remember everything, we find that we have forgotten everything.
We have to escape, we can only hide our emotions and encounters, making the brain a poisonous magnetic zone that cannot be opened, because memory is a sadder thing than forgetting;
As we accumulate more and more knowledge, the meaning of things becomes more and more diluted and blurred. Over time, we don’t even care anymore. That’s because we understand that the greatest sorrow of human beings is like this - barely using a few abstract symbols.
and words to convey those things that can only be understood by heart. The world is still very new, and many things do not have names yet. We can only reach out and point like children who are just born and do not have the ability to express themselves in words;
Everyone is the love of another person's life. We hope to fall in love with the right person at the right time, but most of the time the other person is not suitable for the time. You are old and he is young, and you are still young and he is old;
You are married, but he is not. The woman named Xiaoqian is still looking for the ultimate love in the world, but Ning Caichen already has the lover of this life as his wife. We are destined to lose the people we love, otherwise we will not know
How important they are to us. The passage of time has not given us more love than when we first arrived. At least at that time, our parents greeted us with smiles and expectations. In the end, everyone had to leave alone.
go."
Li Yi didn't know why, so he suddenly started talking more and more.
Finally, he laughed sadly and said: "So, in fact, it seems that the external growth is reversed, but in fact, it is not showing the original internal body?"
"In order to have a life that is normal, standard or better than these principles, people lose their enthusiasm and consume new life in the pursuit. In the end, they are exhausted physically and mentally. What they get is to become like a fetus in the mother's womb: eyes.
It’s someone else’s, their mouth is someone else’s, and their body is someone else’s. It has no mind, no soul, no likes and dislikes. If there is anything at all, it’s probably just the eternal pursuit of the standard answer.”
Feeling Mu Qing holding his hand worriedly, Li Yi turned his head and gave her a gentle smile, then shook his head: "I'm fine. Stories are always just stories, aren't they?"
Li Yi has never been a sentimental person. In fact, the story "Rejuvenation" or "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is really not commercial at all.
It’s not even considered literary. It’s a very strange movie and a very special story.
This kind of story is not like those sensational films made by Li Yi in the past that can easily make people cry. Some of these films are just a narrated, ordinary but extraordinary story.
Originally, most movies were about special people or special experiences. But as long as they show something common among human beings, such as family affection, love, and reactions to changes in the world, ordinary moviegoers can gain a certain degree of resonance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So has "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" achieved this?
Li Yi didn't know, but at least he liked this story very much.
Because there are a lot of things in it that are really tasty.
"No, your creativity is very good, but what about the story? The story hasn't been told yet!" Chen Wen couldn't help but said.
Everyone also burst out laughing.
Isn't it?
Li Yi said a lot, but they were all emotional. Of course, a story that has not been filmed yet has made him feel like this. Coming up with such a lot of things is enough to make people curious. What is a story?
What kind of story could make Li Yi, a director who is best at sensationalism, end up sensationalizing himself first?
Li Yi took a sip of beer silently, and then began to slowly tell the story about Benjamin Button, as if he had entered that fantasy world.
"A strange baby named Benjamin Button was abandoned on the street by his biological parents after he was born. Because this is a freak, why is it called a freak? Why did his biological parents abandon him? Because this unprecedented freak turned out to be
When he was born, he looked like an old man from ancient times.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted woman adopted the strange baby Button. In the following years, she took him to live with him and taught him to grow up. Despite Benjamin Button's old and frail body and appearance, it seemed that he was about to die before his stepmother.
He often became the subject of ridicule among his classmates of the same age.
But the old stepmother's persistence always gave him a reason to continue to live. Finally, Benjamin ushered in his 11th year of living in the world. At this time, he seemed healthier and younger, but he was still old.
