"Great Wall Summer Camp" is not a very orthodox program.
In fact, there are many similar programs, such as outdoor survival programs and live wilderness survival programs. In fact, there have been quite a few in recent years.
But a program like "Great Wall Summer Camp" is different from these programs.
Because in this show, the participants are all minors.
The key is that this is not a wilderness survival program, because the program team does not restrict what children can bring.
You can bring game consoles, expensive outdoor products, sleeping bags, tents, etc.
There are no restrictions.
But no one expected that the lack of any restrictions would make this program full of freshness.
Of course, the biggest controversy comes from the fact that the purpose of this show is actually auditions and casting!
"Anyway, it's very outrageous. I don't object to this show. On the contrary, the show is very interesting. But what are the criteria for casting?"
"Director Dog is getting better and better at playing. I don't understand at all. What is the purpose of playing like this?"
"Talent? Life skills? Personality? What else? Can Director Dog tell me something, otherwise I'm totally confused!"
"Why do I feel that auditions and stuff are all nonsense, and the real purpose is to make money by doing shows?"
"Yeah, I feel like the auditions are just a gimmick. They're mainly just to hype up the show."
"I think there's nothing wrong with it. It's impossible for Director Dog to not choose the last actor, right?"
"You can only see the truest side if there are no standards, right? Otherwise, if there are standards, what everyone will see is that they are acting!"
Naturally, Li Yi would not ignore it or ignore it.
So he accepted an interview with Penguin Video.
"Director Li, it is quite controversial that "The Great Wall Summer Camp" was the original intention of casting for your new movie "War Meridian". Many people think that the casting is just a gimmick. Do you have anything to say about this?
"
"It's okay to say it's just a gimmick, because I don't even know which actor I will choose in the end!" Li Yi's answer exceeded everyone's expectations.
"So what about the standards? Everyone is very curious, what are your casting standards?" the host asked again.
"There are no standards! To put it simply, these young actors are all left after several rounds of screening. It can be said that purely in terms of image and age, everyone seems to be quite suitable for the role in my new film.
of."
"But they are also not suitable. At least for now, in my opinion, they are still far away from my requirements." Li Yi thought for a while and said.
Not only ordinary netizens are watching this interview at this moment, but also young actors who participated in "The Great Wall Summer Camp" are also watching.
There are also their parents, managers, etc., who are all paying attention.
"Why do you say that?" the host asked again.
Not much is known about the movie "War Meridian" to the outside world. After all, the name is very deceptive.
"This is about the movie "War Meridian". You don't know what this movie is about or what its background is. Let me put it simply, this movie is about a group of Eighth Route Army soldiers during the Anti-Japanese War.
The story of a special team composed of children, veteran military doctors, nurses, and wounded people, who smashed the Japanese aggressors' conspiracy at the cost of their lives.
The protagonist is a group of underage children. The oldest among them is only sixteen years old, and he is already a veteran who has been in the army for seven years!
So these children, they are all children of the Eighth Route Army, children who were separated from their parents during the Japanese raids.
I don't want to see the little soldiers photographed in "War Meridian" just a group of city kids wearing Eighth Route Army uniforms. Simply put, what I need is the real children of the Eighth Route Army, those little soldiers in the flames of war.
Rather than a pampered, delicate-skinned city kid.
The smell of the city in them is too strong and the flavor of the country is too light. Therefore, I hope to use this summer camp to let them wash away some of the "city smell" on them. Even if it cannot highlight the "country smell", at least
You also need to have a "wild" temperament!
For the children of our era, I don’t require them to really understand how difficult and difficult the children of that era were, but at least let them look a little like our little Eighth Route Army soldiers in appearance and temperament!”
As Li Yi spoke, the scene they longed for when each child sacrificed appeared in his mind.
"That's it!" the host looked like he suddenly realized it.
And everyone who is watching this interview at this moment finally understands.
When Li Yi auditioned these young actors, it really wasn't just about their acting skills. In other words, their acting skills were basically not a big problem. The real problem was their temperament.
In fact, an actor's temperament is something that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
But obviously, for now, no matter how much acting experience these young actors have, it is obvious that few of them have truly experienced "hardship".
After all, apart from acting, their family's economic conditions are usually pretty good. The food, drinks and supplies are not necessarily the best, but they are certainly much better than those of ordinary people.
In fact, we can see this from the things that the children brought to this summer camp. There are many things that ordinary children do not have at all.
And they were in such a state that they wanted to show the little Eighth Route Army soldiers who had gone through hardships and struggled to survive in the war. They did put on the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, and they were still children in the city.
Therefore, Li Yi said that they lacked an "earthy flavor" and a "wildness", which is the fact!
So will this half-month and half-month of outdoor life experience make them change?
The answer is inevitable, as Li Yi said, at least they will have an extra "wildness" in them that they never had before!
"Many of the children of our time rarely even leave their parents. All children grow up under the care of their parents. Not to mention suffering, they have never experienced what hunger is...
These children are the protagonists of our movie, so I hope they can at least act a little bit like themselves, so I came up with the idea of letting them leave their parents and live alone in the wilderness for a while.
"
Li Yi's interview made all controversies disappear.
Because as Li Yi said, these children, no, we should say children of our era, live in happiness and grow up healthily and happily under the wings of their parents.
They are flowers that are held, cared for and protected.
But for these Hua Guduo to play the role of those little warriors of the past, apart from anything else, there is a huge difference in temperament and "taste".
As for being made into a program or something, that’s not important anymore!
