When Li Yi was interviewed, what he said became a hot topic among movie fans and the media after it spread.
Because his statement is actually relatively new.
Looking at the world from the perspective of movie box office, if you think about this statement carefully, you have to say that it actually makes sense.
Take the peninsula as an example.
Many people wonder why Peninsula Film produces so many excellent films with realist themes? They take it for granted that the environment for film creation is more relaxed.
Maybe there are some reasons for this, but the more critical reason is that when I watch Hollywood movies with everyone, I always feel that Hollywood movies are all excellent films, and it seems that what we see is the embodiment of the true level of Hollywood.
In fact, this is also a problem of bias. Foreign films that can enter our field of vision are not too bad.
Because Peninsula Movies has received widespread attention in our country, it has caused you to watch Peninsula movies through various channels. They are inherently of higher quality. This is the result of presentation, but the process and channels of presentation also have an impact on the result.
had an important impact.
At the same time, we have also ignored an issue of living environment.
For example, the attitude of the police towards the families of the victims in "Sowon" may exist on the peninsula, but in China, this possibility can be said to be slim.
Because no one will sympathize with criminals, and they are also extremely vicious and heinous criminals.
Maybe the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and there are black sheep, but we have to admit the fact that at least, most of the time, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in China.
Another example is to search for reports on cases of sexual (harmony) assaults on minors through the Internet to make statistics. There is also a large deviation.
If something can be reported by the media, it must have some kind of problem. Otherwise, why are those who have been severely sentenced rarely reported?
Because the media also knows that it is natural for people to receive heavy sentences in such cases. On the contrary, light sentences will confuse people and create controversy.
...
In the end, the box office of "Sowon" only exceeded 100 million.
But the impact of this movie is indelible.
Li Yi gave himself a relatively long vacation this time. Unfortunately, Director Mu was busy filming a movie, so he didn't have time to go wandering with him.
Li Yi went to work on the set for a few days. At first, Mu Qing was relatively happy, but after a few days, she had to kick Li out of the set.
It really delays things too much.
For this reason, Li Yi quietly flew to North America.
Compared with Director Mu, Xu Nannan seems a little too indulgent to Li Yi. She can almost be said to be responsive to every request. Moreover, when Li Yi is around, she seems to be very clingy. She doesn't do anything else all day long and just concentrates on everything.
He walked around blindly with Li Yi.
Let's play together, go crazy together, let's... well, I won't say much more.
It actually made Li Yi feel a lot more relaxed, but the oysters were a bit expensive...
Sometimes, things like emotions are really hard to describe.
The movie "Suwon" seems to have gone smoothly, but in fact, it is destined to be unforgettable for the entire crew.
The same is true for Li Yi, it feels really terrible.
Therefore, for a period of time after "Su Yuan", he couldn't bring up the interest in work at all.
In fact, not only Li Yi, Chen Wen and other main actors of the film also ran out to relax after the movie was released.
The purpose is to adjust the mood.
And Zhao Chunhua even said bluntly that he really wouldn't dare to take on a movie like this again.
Because other villains are more or less individuals, but the villain of this movie is not an individual!
In "Su Yuan", Zhao Chunhua, as the villain, doesn't actually appear that many times, but he can't stand the villain he plays. Every time he appears, he makes people hate him and gnash their teeth.
So, between commercial films and literary films, I really can’t say which one is easier to shoot.
The former may be a technical difficulty or a difficulty in pleasing the audience, while the latter may be a psychological or emotional difficulty.
Li Yi rested for more than a month during this trip, and it was already September when he came back from North America.
After coming back, Li Yi's first trip was to Star Comic Animation.
After enjoying the benefits of animated movies at Xingman, Zhang Haiyang naturally hopes to continue his efforts.
But animated movies are not that easy to make.
It can be said that Li Yi spent a lot of energy on "WALL-E", but this certainly cannot become the norm.
What is currently most lacking in China is still high-end talents with both artistic aesthetics and animation production technology.
Zhang Haiyang's original plan was that if his next animated film was to be made, it would be similar to "Wall-E".
But it was directly dropped by Li Yifou.
Artistic aesthetics cannot be developed overnight.
It is accumulated through polishing and polishing a large number of works.
However, the artistic aesthetic of movies like "WALL-E" is actually obviously biased towards the Western artistic aesthetic.
In this regard, others obviously have an advantage.
And we don’t have that many such works for domestic animation talents to polish.
But we also have our own strengths.
For example, at this stage, Star Comics produces the most anime series adapted from popular online cartoons.
This is actually a real channel for cultivating artistic aesthetics.
Of course, what is cultivated is an artistic aesthetic with unique Chinese characteristics.
Such as Xianxia, such as fantasy, etc., etc.
These are the unique characteristics of China, and there are a lot of opportunities for practice. Zhang Haiyang quickly understood this.
But everyone at Star Comics is still eagerly looking forward to creating an animated film with real Chinese characteristics as soon as possible.
Either martial arts, fairy tales, fantasy, or mythology.
"As you said before, break the rules and redesign the images of some famous mythological characters. Do you want to take a look?" Zhang Haiyang asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Li Yi smiled and nodded.
Who is the most famous mythological character?
Of course, there is no doubt that it is "Monkey King, the Monkey King"!
Then, Li Yi saw several image designs of "Monkey King, the Monkey King" that Zhang Haiyang called out.
"The domineering president Sun Dasheng?"
"The decadent tramp version of Monkey King?"
"Purgatory Lava Sun Dasheng?"
"The Monkey King of the Speeding Car Party?"
I have to say that once this person's mind is opened, he really dares to trick anyone from above.
Looking at the Monkey King with different images, Li Yi felt like he was on the wrong set.
But let’s not talk about it yet, it’s quite interesting to watch.
