Chapter 1,533 Everything is purely accidental. If it is similar, it is purely coincidental.
In fact, Li Yi basically doesn't need to do anything else about "Big Fish".
After word of mouth fermented, there was naturally a lot of tap water.
However, Li Yi still couldn't take any time off. He had no choice but to do so because his current status didn't allow it.
Even if you decline many invitations, there are always some that you cannot refuse.
For example, the Chinese Screenwriters Association, Filmmakers Association and other major universities jointly organize the "Chinese Youth Film Screenwriters Support Program"!
Naturally, Li Yi, a popular fried chicken, cannot be forgotten.
But this time, the support plan was launched with great momentum. It can be said that front-line screenwriters from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places were invited, and Zhao Guangming from China Film Studio and Li Yi's mentor Li Zhanshan were also invited to be lobbyists.
Li Yi naturally found it difficult to refuse.
In fact, after he understood it, he was not opposed to participating in this plan. What he disliked was the formalism. If he could actually do something practical, he would naturally not refuse.
And this time, it is also more interesting. The young screenwriter support program has many units, and one of the units is more interesting, that is, Li Yi and other Chinese gold medal screenwriters are invited to serve as "screenwriters" for the scripts of young screenwriters.
doctor"!
After Li Yi accepted the invitation, they immediately sent Li Yi the script that had gone through multiple rounds of screening.
These scripts are written by young screenwriters from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, some of whom are still college students.
Script, screenplay, the basis of a play.
Some people may think that a good director can turn a vulgar story into a classic, but does this mean that the script is not important?
the answer is negative!
In fact, how many people can really make a simple story into a classic?
By the way, let's ask those directors, which director doesn't prefer a good script?
In fact, there has always been a shortage of scripts in the Chinese film industry. For no other reason than because domestic screenwriters can be said to have far less presence and status than directors. Not to mention directors, just compared to those well-known screenwriters.
The actors are very different in all aspects.
This is not only true in China, but also in Hollywood.
Hollywood writers have gone on strike not once or twice. Why? It’s because the status and income of screenwriters are so different.
However, as an upstream part of the film, the importance of screenwriters is self-evident.
Although Li Yi is more famous as a director, no one can ignore his skill as a screenwriter. After all, Li Yi won the best screenwriter award no less than the director award.
The reason why Li Yi was interested was because he wanted to see if the ideas of these young screenwriters were fresh, or if they had ideas for finding inspiration from them.
The fact that these young screenwriters from across the Taiwan Strait and three places can go through multiple rounds of screening and land in front of Li Yi shows that these scripts are at least relatively good.
"How's it going? Are there any more interesting scripts?" Mu Qing walked to Li Yi carrying the coffee, handed the coffee to Li Yi, and asked curiously.
"I haven't read it yet, let's take a look together?" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Okay!" Mu Qing sat down next to Li Yi and started looking together.
In fact, Li Yi himself has been influenced by the scripts and stories of classic movies for so many years. Although he is not that outstanding in screenwriting, he has seen it more and naturally became familiar with it. Without him, he is familiar with it!
Of course, although these scripts were screened before falling into the hands of Li Yi, he is a young screenwriter after all. Although some of his ideas are indeed eye-catching, the stories are still relatively immature.
There are also some more interesting ones. One of the scripts really made Li Yi remember a movie.
how to say?
That film didn't have a high reputation in terms of reputation, but its creativity was novel enough.
In other words, there is a sense of immediacy in taking the wrong approach.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the script that triggered Li Yi’s Golden Finger was actually written by a young screenwriter from the University of Hong Kong.
His story is actually not that similar to the movie Li Yi remembered.
The title of his script made Li Yi shake his head "Liar Insurance"!
The perspective is from an insurance investigator. It can be said that this is definitely novel in the field of Hong Kong movies.
Because looking at so many Hong Kong films, if they want to provide thrillers and suspense, they are most likely inseparable from crime. And if they want to focus on crimes, the roles of the characters can only be limited to the two professions of police and criminals.
Therefore, it is indeed a bit of innovation for him to approach it from the perspective of an insurance investigator.
Of course, success and failure are the same.
The story idea is pretty good. When an insurance investigator was investigating an accidental death policy, he unexpectedly discovered that there were too many coincidences in this case.
This made him suspicious, so he launched an investigation, and found similarities or commonalities in several past accident insurance cases.
The deaths of these people don't seem to have any problems, but they are also full of coincidences.
So he began an in-depth investigation. He investigated through the identity of the policy holder, social background, etc. Unfortunately, those people did not seem to have any connection.
Just when he had no clue, he almost encountered a car accident on the road. If it hadn't been because he happened to remember something to do and walked a few steps faster, he might have died immediately.
Initially he didn't think there was anything wrong.
But in the next period of time, he found that he seemed to be riddled with bad luck. When passing by a building, an air conditioner upstairs suddenly fell. If he had not stopped to pick up garbage when he saw it on the ground, the air conditioner would have been smashed directly.
to his head.
As a result, after calling the police, the police investigation concluded that it was an accident.
There were a series of accidents later, which made him begin to wonder. Was it because of his own investigation that the mastermind behind the scenes was taking revenge?
The days that followed seemed to be calm.
It seems that those things before were just because of his bad luck.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But as an insurance investigator, he does not believe that it is really such a coincidence.
Especially when these coincidences happened to him.
He was horrified until he received a phone call from an insurance salesperson asking if he had any idea of buying insurance.
Because he remembered that he also had a high accident insurance policy!
However, the beneficiary of his insurance is his wife. He and his wife have been married for many years. Although they have no children, they are still in love. He does not believe that his wife would do such a thing because of this insurance.
But due to occupational disease, the seeds of doubt have been planted in his heart.
So, he started to follow his wife, but after several days of tracking, he found nothing unusual.
There was nothing strange about my wife's behavior.
He smiled bitterly, thinking that he was suffering from an occupational disease and was always skeptical about everything.
But I couldn't find out why.
His colleague told him that he was under too much pressure and suggested that he go relax.
But when he was driving home, he was hit by a truck on the road.
He was indeed not wrong in his suspicion, he had indeed been raped, and the person who was leading all of this behind the scenes was his wife.
However, his wife did not know that he had just canceled the huge accident insurance policy.
In other words, if he dies, his wife will not get any money at all.
As a result, in the last scene of the script, his wife also died at home due to an accident.
The story ends.
how to say?
The story is indeed somewhat creative, but overall the plot is still very weak.
The key is that there is no in-depth look at the so-called gang behind the scenes, the team that caused all these accidents.
Although the ending is a bit dramatic, if this movie is made, there is a high probability that it will be a hit.
Is creativity important to movies?
It’s not important either!
A good idea must also serve the story!
The movie that Li Yi remembered was certainly not a classic, and it did have its limitations.
But in comparison, it was much more exciting than this script, because the film Li Yi remembered focused on the process of creating accidents.
"The idea of this story is quite good, but I feel it misses the point!" Mu Qing also raised her head and said after reading the script.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Actually, it's pretty good. The cost of filming this kind of script won't be too high. Of course, the story is indeed a bit weak."
"I saw that you were a little distracted just now. What's wrong? Do you have an idea?" As her pillow partner, Mu Qing must know Li Yi best.
In particular, she was very familiar with some of Li Yi's habits.
Li Yi smiled and nodded: "What do you think the people who caused accidental killings would think if they encountered some unexpected situations in their lives? Is it a simple accident? Or man-made?"
Mu Qing was also stunned by Li Yi's question.
Yes, since accidents are caused, what if the person who caused the accident encounters an accident?
Was that an accident, or was it thought?
This topic is very interesting.
In fact, the movie Li Yi remembered was called "Accident"!
But I have to say that the creativity of this movie is indeed good, and the quality of the film is also good, but it also has shortcomings.
Generally speaking, it is quite difficult to innovate themes under a specific style, so more work needs to be done on character portrayal.
The male protagonist in "Accident" can be said to be the mastermind of the "Accident Making Gang", so it can be said that for this character, there can actually be more shaping to flesh out the character's personality.
But unfortunately, the film "Accident" is not very satisfactory in this regard.
Usually, when the protagonist of the film is a killer, in order to make the character more three-dimensional and full, it is inevitable to introduce some psychological descriptions such as redemption of conscience. But surprisingly, "Accident" does not! For example, the "gang boss" in the movie
The identity seems to give people a hint of good nature. But when he saw the four people murdering the innocent old man as always, Li Yicai realized that the director had no intention of exploring the bottom line of morality. He only focused on telling the story of an experienced and loving man.
The story of a suspicious cold-blooded killer.
To be fair, the director did put a lot of effort into the many details that aroused the male protagonist's suspicion. Not only was the "cigarette fart incident" used as a foreshadowing, but the subsequent events were also kept vague while striving to be as clear as possible.
Justify your theory.
For example, the news reported that the truck driver was injured and unconscious.
The subtext is: If you were a killer, would you risk your own life?
After the hero's home was robbed, the police emphasized that the thief had looted many homes in the building.
The subtext is: I’m not targeting you specifically!
The old man was in a trance and lost his memory.
The subtext is: It is very likely that I jumped off the building myself!
But thinking too much and being too thorough turns out to be a major flaw in the film. Because if you mention one of them individually, it can be interpreted as an "accident". But if you wrap them up and throw them all around, only a fool will believe that it is an "accident"!
The ending also has the same problem. The concept of "Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation" is indeed more reasonable and smooth. But the subsequent "Evil will be punished" is too procrastinating. If Li Yi were to film it, he would combine the two.
Two become one.
In fact, the core of "Accident" revolves around the question Li Yi asked Mu Qing. If it was this accident-making gang, what would he think when he encountered something unexpected?
Overall, "Accident" is a good movie. The plot of the whole movie can be said to be relatively compact, and the wonderful assassination case is enough to make the audience feel eager to try it!
However, this part of the brain tracking and eavesdropping on Chen seemed relatively boring. Fortunately, the brain's counterattack brought the film to a climax. However, in the end, the plot ended abruptly after Chen stabbed his brain, which became the biggest failure.
It can be said that this has a lot to do with the background of this movie, because in my memory, this movie is from "Galaxy Image"!
So when Li Yi thought about it, maybe the director thought that joining the Galaxy meant that he had to inherit the fatalism of the Galaxy; maybe the director found that the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were missing gold, so he added it at the end; maybe the director wanted an effect that was not yet complete.
It's a pity that it only brings people incomprehensible.
In fact, as long as he has some memories when his brain is dying, the whole film can be brought to a perfect end.
Recalling the woman he killed because of suspicion, the emotional line can be built up, instead of just a one-way line. If he recalls his wife, it can be connected from beginning to end. The brain kills people by creating accidental illusions, entirely because he does not
Believing that his wife simply died in a traffic accident, he did so many cases to prove that all accidents can be artificially caused. It can be said that her wife is the cause of everything. This is because every time the brain succeeds,
You will know it when you return to your residence and have sex with your imaginary wife. So if you bring the memories with you in the end, then everything will come to fruition.
But the movie was not shot that way, and the result was that the male protagonist, the brains of the team, was just a cold-blooded killer who killed people just to make money!
Of course there is no problem with this, but when placed in a movie and on the male protagonist, it seems a bit weak and not three-dimensional enough.
Why does he create accidents to kill people? There is an effect, but no cause, so what the male protagonist as the brain creates is no longer an accident, but loneliness.
