Chapter 478: Take photos of something more meaningful
"Hiss!" Chen Wen just read the opening chapter and couldn't help but gasped.
Because Li Yi did not write a story at the beginning, but listed some relevant data that he had found above.
This was what frightened Chen Wen.
"Holy shit, shit!" After Chen Wen read the script, he couldn't help but swear!
Then he stared straight at Li Yidao: "This subject matter is really...!"
"But, is it too sensitive? Can it pass the trial?" Chen Wen then asked with a frown.
"It should be okay if the background is set on Hong Kong Island, right?" Li Yi asked rhetorically.
"Isn't there no problem with "The Gift of Room No. 7" back then?" Li Yi said again.
Chen Wen pondered for a moment before saying: "It's really hard to say! However, you can give it a try! This is still very different from "The Gift of Room No. 7". After all, although it is not about revealing this matter,
The theme is too sensitive, and the key is that this kind of movie can easily incite the audience's emotions..."
Li Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
Indeed, the biggest difference between "Sowon" and "The Gift of Room No. 7" is that the latter may also reveal something, but after all, the male protagonist in the movie is a special group of people.
Unlike "Suwon", this kind of subject matter can be said to be an extremely heavy topic for any parents with daughters at home.
Like Chen Wen said, it's easy to incite the audience's emotions!
"Let's check with Director Zhao from Huaying first!" Chen Wen said suddenly.
Li Yi nodded!
Huaying Group!
"What brought you two here together?" Zhao Guangming was quite happy about the visit of Li Yi and Chen Wen, and joked casually with a smile.
"Director Zhao, I have a script and I want you to give it a try!" Li Yi said straight to the point.
"Oh? What script?" Zhao Guangming suddenly became interested.
Li Yi's current status in China and his achievements in commercial films can be said to be unparalleled.
Zhao Guangming is naturally extremely curious about the script of Li Yi's new movie.
Li Yi handed the story script of "Su Yuan" to Zhao Guangming!
Zhao Guangming opened it and read it.
It was a short script, but Zhao Guangming read it over and over again for more than half an hour.
He closed the script and looked up at Li Yi and Chen Wen with a helpless smile.
"You are really going to find trouble for me!" Zhao Guangming immediately understood why Li Yi and Chen Wen came to the door together.
"Director Zhao, what do you think of the script?" Chen Wen asked with a smile.
"The story is a good story, and the script is also a good script. It is very profound, but it is too sensitive!" Zhao Guangming sighed.
"Isn't it okay if the background is set on Hong Kong Island?" Li Yi asked.
Zhao Guangming shook his head and said: "It's the same no matter where you put it!"
"Really not possible?" Li Yi was a little anxious.
"Here... let's give it a try first!" Zhao Guangming said after being silent for a moment.
"Then I'll wait for the good news from Director Zhao!" Li Yi knew that Zhao Guangming must have better solutions for this kind of thing than he did.
And this kind of thing cannot be determined in a short time.
"Actually, why did you think of making such a movie? After all, with this kind of subject matter, to be honest, it is probably difficult to sell as well as your previous movies in the domestic market..." Zhao Guangming suddenly asked.
"If I say this is the conscience of a filmmaker, it might be a bit pretentious, but I just want to shoot something more meaningful." Li Yi didn't know why.
He couldn't explain the truth, but he was really interested in this movie!
Suddenly a passage came to Li Yi's mind, and he blurted out: "If the sky is always dark, then survive in the dark; if making noise is dangerous, then remain silent; if you feel unable to shine, then crouch in the corner."
But don’t defend the darkness when you are used to it; don’t be proud of your own complacency; don’t ridicule those who are braver and more passionate than yourself. We can be as humble as dust, but we cannot be twisted like maggots.”
He could not remember the source of this passage, but he recognized it very much!
"You should add this paragraph to the script!" Zhao Guangming said suddenly.
"Yes, that's great! We can be as humble as dust, but we must not be twisted like maggots!" Chen Wen also expressed admiration when he heard this.
Li Yi felt a little embarrassed.
He actually didn't think that much, he just thought that if he could make some more meaningful movies, why not make them?
As for the box office, Li Yi is not just saying polite things, he really doesn't care too much.
Perhaps since he had never been successful before, he really didn't dare to say that he didn't care about the box office.
After all, at that time, he was holding his father's money.
But things are different now. He is a person who usually does not spend money lavishly. With his current net worth, it can be said that real money is just a number to him.
When the box office is higher, it is an affirmation for the movie.
So, he really doesn't care how much box office "Sowon" can get!
What Li Yi didn't know was that Zhao Guangming really added his words to the script.
Then submitted it!
What Li Yi didn't know was that this script did cause controversy among people in relevant departments.
There are those who support and those who are against it!
The reason for the objection is simple: the film is too sensitive and can easily incite the media and audiences.
It can be said that everyone can imagine that once this movie is made and released in China, with Li Yi's appeal and the content of this movie, it will definitely trigger heated discussions!
The reasons for support are diverse.
One is Li Yi's identity, but it's just different from the past.
Li Yi is not only the leading commercial director in China, but the key is that Li Yi himself is also a great director internationally.
"The Truman Show" can be said to have made Li Yi famous!
This movie brought more to Li Yi than any of his previous movies.
Domestically, the film's current rating is still over 9 points, and is only slightly lower than "The Story of Hachiko".
But in terms of influence and the topics it generates, this movie can instantly beat "The Story of Hachiko"!
Not only that, Li Yi's past actions also gave him a lot of points.
Whether it is a large donation, or the entire box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was donated to establish a charity fund, or it is "Garland Under the Mountain", "That Rabbit That Year", etc., all of them are given to
Li Yi has a lot of aura added to his body!
Therefore, they must also consider Li Yi's own influence.
Another thing is, although this movie is said to be sensitive, the background is set in Hong Kong Island after all. It is separated by another layer.
But even so, the movie still has no result for a while.
Of course, Li Yi couldn't really make any underground movies, but he still prepared a backup strategy.
Once this movie really cannot get a filming permit in China.
Then I might have to go abroad to shoot!
But if it cannot be released in China, the influence of this movie will be greatly reduced!
