Chapter 1,575 The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class
"Spring of the Cowherd Class" is definitely not a very popular commercial movie.
But that doesn't stop it from becoming a classic of this type of film.
However, it is really not that easy to make such a movie.
When Li Yi took out the script, Junior was also a little shocked by Li Yi's speed.
Of course, Junior, who is famous in Hollywood, is different from his colleagues in France who prefer a slower pace.
Although he was surprised by Li Yi's speed, he still picked up the script and read it very seriously.
Sometimes he frowns, sometimes he smiles, and sometimes he is confused.
After a long time, he closed the script.
Suddenly he asked: "Do you think Meng Dan is a bad boy?"
"What do you think?" Li Yi asked in turn.
Junior was startled for a moment, and then said: "At that time, we also had a "bad boy". His name was Aino. Really, I don't know if he was considered a bad boy."
"Is this important?" Li Yi asked again.
Junior nodded and smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's not important!"
This is also true. In fact, the role of Meng Dan can be said to have a very crucial significance in "Spring of the Cowherd Class".
He is different from other children. It can be said that he is someone who must be around everyone at that age.
They may have different endings, but there must be such a person.
Is he a bad boy?
This answer requires everyone to think for themselves.
Now that the script is out, all that's left is how to make the film.
The biggest problem in "Spring of the Cowherd" is actually the music. It can be said that music takes up a lot of space in this movie.
Maybe many viewers will not understand the music after watching it, but in fact, this is the magic of the movie.
Although Li Yi doesn't have many connections here, this is not a problem at all. In terms of music, Junior has a wide range of connections here.
To produce and shoot a movie, investment and distribution companies are definitely indispensable. Li Yi directly approached Dean Pictures. It wasn't that he couldn't do it himself, but that it was unnecessary.
Although Dean Films is a Hollywood film company, it also has great influence in Europe.
Soon the preparations for "Spring of the Cowherd Class" officially began.
In terms of actors, the lead actor finally found a local actor, Jean Bino!
Jean Pinot has a good reputation in France, but it is limited to this. The reason why Li Yi chose him is because his image fits the image of "Matthew" in Li Yi's impression.
As for the young actors, Li Yi was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, it was the smoothest.
However, it is normal. For foreigners, the children are very handsome, but the probability of becoming disabled when they grow up is very high.
Filmmaking here in Europe is actually more relaxed than in North America.
Li Yi knows this very well. In fact, this is a relatively normal thing. Don't look at Europe, where there seem to be frequent strikes and the like, but in fact, jobs like movies are quite popular here.
Or in other words, "art" is everywhere here!
In particular, Li Yi is a world-famous director.
With Sicily's "Cinema Paradiso" playing a leading role, this time "Spring of the Cowherd" can also be said to have gained huge attention after the news spread.
Because "Cinema Paradiso" can be said to be regarded as a classic by countless people here in Europe.
In particular, many filmmakers compare "Cinema Paradiso" to a love letter to movies!
In this way, when Li Yi wants to shoot a movie that is born in the same way as "Cinema Paradiso", it will naturally make them even more excited.
Of course, it is a niche, after all, it is a niche. "Springtime of the Cowherd" may indeed have attracted the attention of many insiders in Europe, but it is not a big production after all, so it is naturally impossible to get commercial success.
Blockbusters get the same treatment.
However, Li Yi didn't particularly care.
It has to be said that Junior's connections in the music circle are indeed extensive enough. In order to make the music of "Springtime of the Cowherd" perfect, he even invited Bruno Ray, known as the master of French classical music.
Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that "Springtime of the Cowherd Class" is a French film that Li Yi will soon direct.
The filming of the movie started soon. However, Li Yi was not in a hurry to shoot this movie, and music creation also required time, so he shot very slowly. After all, he was on vacation and did not regard this as work at all.
Come and do it.
Of course, although his shooting speed was relatively slow, after all, "Spring of the Cowherd" was not a complicated movie, so the shooting went quite smoothly.
It is impossible to work overtime.
Of course, this does not mean that the staff here in Europe do not work overtime.
In fact, the so-called not working overtime also depends on who is targeted.
For a great director like Li Yi and his crew, it can be said that everything can be decided with one word.
If it really comes to the point where he demands to work overtime, try not to work overtime!
Of course, no one would be so stubborn. After all, having a resume of cooperation with Li Yi, let alone France, is a very good resume even if you go to Hollywood.
Therefore, this opportunity is extremely important to many people.
Of course, it is certain that he will not work overtime. After all, this time, Li Yi is here to relax.
For this reason, he would even occasionally let his wife take charge of the guide tube.
Of course, this does not mean that he is not serious or attentive, but the theme of this movie itself is healing, so Li Yi also hopes to complete the production of the movie in a relaxed and happy manner.
I have to say that the music master still has a few tricks up his sleeve!
The voices of children are the voices closest to God. They are all angels.
So how to show it?
On the one hand, there is a childlike smile, clear eyes, and an angelic voice.
But all this needs to be shown.
Then music is very important at this time.
Time flies, I am on vacation while filming movies, and occasionally listening to the chorus songs composed by music masters for these children. To be honest, it is really pleasant.
On the other hand, when people in China learned that Li Yi was filming a movie like "Cinema Paradiso", they immediately became interested.
In fact, although Li Yi has won many awards, his movies are actually more commercial.
Of course, no one would question his accomplishments in art films, but after all, Li Yi did make more commercial films.
And this time, it is an opportunity for some thoughtful people in China.
Like a film festival!
The China Overseas International Film Festival is rather embarrassed now, or in other words, due to the film festival's strategy in recent years, this film festival has not been popular with domestic filmmakers and audiences.
Why?
Because the film festival is really “international”!
Let’s put it this way, for many years in a row, the grand prizes at the China Overseas International Film Festival have been given to foreign language films, and even to foreign actors and directors.
For this reason, it often happens that many domestic film actors and directors are not even willing to attend this film festival.
Although there were some changes in the film festival later, the deep-rooted impression is difficult to change.
The organizing committee is also in a hurry!
In fact, their own strategy is not a big problem. After all, international film festivals always need to attract more "international" films to sign up. Therefore, unlike Hollywood, all awards are kept in North America.
On the contrary, to a certain extent, it is somewhat imitating the three major European companies!
It's a pity that the essence is not imitated!
Of course I want to do a good job at the China Overseas International Film Festival this year, but it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
Of course, movies are also a resource for film festivals.
Well-known and influential film festivals such as the Oscars and the three major European film festivals naturally have no shortage of good film sources, and people flock to them.
But in comparison, the China Overseas International Film Festival is embarrassing.
Some film festivals have strict standards and regulations. They are not allowed to participate in other film festivals, but must be exclusive.
Therefore, excellent films are almost monopolized by those top film festivals.
For the rest, there are also second- and third-tier film festivals competing for it, and for this purpose, each has its own unique approach.
And the idea of the China Overseas International Film Festival is to pour out awards!
Is it effective to express the word "international" vividly?
Of course there are still some, but the effect is really not that good. After all, this kind of awards cannot attract the truly best movies!
But this time, Li Yi's movie became their target.
First of all, Li Yi is a Chinese director. Secondly, "Springtime of the Cowherd Class" is a French film. Of course, there is another point. Li Yi is awesome enough and has a big celebrity. Although "Springtime of the Cowherd Class" is still
I don’t know what type of movie it is, but it is very similar to the birth of "Cinema Paradiso"!
The key is that this movie has attracted a lot of attention in China and even the European film circle!
Therefore, if we can bring this movie to the China Overseas International Film Festival, we will have a good chance!
To this end, lobbyists come one round after another.
Li Yi actually didn't pay much attention to this. In fact, the three major European film festivals also sent invitations to Li Yi.
After all, Li Yi is a grand slam!
His new film is obviously a literary and artistic film, so it is a natural fit for them!
However, in the end, Li Yi chose to make the film the opening film of the China Overseas International Film Festival.
No one else, after all, China Overseas International Film Festival is always one of its own.
Other film festivals have more but not more and less of them, but at the China Overseas International Film Festival, it's different.
As for whether it will affect the movie's attention?
Li Yi is really not worried about this.
Although the film was not rushed, the filming was still completed very quickly. Of course, this fast refers to comparison with those films in France.
In fact, for Li Yi, it was already leisurely enough.
China Overseas International Film Festival, after receiving Li Yi's approval, immediately released the news.
The effect is naturally outstanding!
After all, this is Li Yi's movie!
And the movie itself is very cool!
China Overseas International Film Festival, after having "Spring of the Cowherd Class" as its facade, quickly attracted many domestic and foreign movie fans, and even filmmakers.
On this day, the China Overseas International Film Festival officially opened.
Li Yi is naturally back, too, with his new film, "Spring in the Cowherd Class".
"Spring of the Cowherd Class" naturally received the highest treatment at the opening ceremony, or in other words, Li Yi's own treatment was also the highest.
As the opening film, "Spring of the Cowherd Class" was arranged in the largest screening room.
A super screening hall that can accommodate more than 3,000 people.
At this moment, it can be said that the seats are packed, and not only domestic media people and filmmakers, but also filmmakers, media people, film critics, etc. from all over the world.
The entire theater was packed.
Before the screening began, Li Yi accepted an interview with the film festival's official partner media.
"Director Li, why did you think of making a movie like this?" the reporter asked.
"Actually, I was originally on vacation. I was invited by an old friend to go to a small village in France. Only when I arrived did I realize that I had been deceived!" Li Yi said with a smile.
Everyone is also very curious about the birth process of the movie "Spring in the Cowherd Class".
After all, a movie is not only about the movie itself, but also the birth process of the movie. Especially for a classic, the story of the birth of the movie also has a large audience.
"Junior took me to his music enlightenment school. Of course, it is now abandoned. Then he told me many things. He wanted to put this story on the big screen, but he was not particularly good at it.
, so he thought of me!”
After listening to the story, the reporter asked again: "What kind of movie is "Spring of the Cowherd Class"? What kind of story is it telling? Can you reveal a little bit about it?"
In fact, many people know about this movie, but they really don’t know what it is about.
"The movie tells the story of a teacher and a group of special students!" Li Yi said.
"Can you say more?"
"It's the story of how an unknown, failed musician redeemed the souls of a group of troubled teenagers.
Of course, if you go to see the movie, you will know more about it!"
In fact, "Spring of the Cowherd Class" is really not novel in terms of story ideas or routines, and is even very old-fashioned.
It can be regarded as the French version of "Spicy Teacher"!
But it's different.
Because "Spring in the Cowherd Class" seems more restrained.
And this is a musical movie. It can be said that if a movie like this wants to capture the audience, it not only needs to rely on the story, but also on the music.
Let children's music catch people's ears and heal people's hearts. This is success!
Movies are often fictional and may not happen in real life.
But it entrusts people with their beautiful longing for life.
"Spring in the Cowherd Class" can be said to be about a teacher's ardent hope and deep love for his students.
In the simple and plain language, people suddenly understand: In fact, there is such a beautiful garden in everyone's heart. The four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are distinct, and they change anytime and anywhere due to everything happening around them. Spring is definitely the most beautiful
In this season, bursts of soft spring breeze blow across the cheeks, green grass breaks out of the ground, and the tinkling of spring water interprets the splendor and splendor of spring. However, as long as they are surrounded by love, even those children in the cattle herding class can still have
A sunny spring day…
Okay, this statement is a bit literary, so let’s just watch the movie!
