Adult actors, if they need to play a certain role, such as an Eighth Route Army veteran, then they have many ways to "become" that role.
But for underage children.
Especially in a movie like "War Meridian," where the children, the young warriors, you don't have anyone to refer to, so to speak.
And children cannot experience life as fully as adults can.
That itself is not advisable.
Therefore, Li Yi's request is actually not that high. He just requests that they can be more similar!
"It turns out that "War Meridian" tells that kind of story, then I understand!"
"Yes, let the children in the city play the role of children who are just a little old and have to shoulder heavy responsibilities to survive in the flames of war. This will not look like them at all!"
"How many parents of today's children are willing to let them endure hardship?"
"I suddenly want my children to participate in this experience!"
"I finally understand why Director Dog didn't give any standards, because there are no standards in the first place."
For a time, netizens were filled with emotions.
Some netizens found some relevant information about the 1942 May 1 raid launched by the Japanese invaders against the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines.
Only then did everyone realize that there had been such a heartbreaking history.
For the old Red Army and old Eighth Route Army members, they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield. All of them were already prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country when they put on that military uniform.
However, they who defended their homes and country were unable to save their wives and children during this great sweep. Many people never found their lost relatives, and they even did not know their whereabouts!
This is the most lingering haze and nightmare in their hearts!
In fact, there are many Anti-Japanese War movies, and there are also many film and television works. However, many people will not know about a certain period, a certain battle, or a certain major event if they don't go out of their way to understand it.
As for those separated children, it is unknown whether they finally found their parents, whether they are safe, or whether they are alive.
"War Meridian" takes this as an entry point and tells the story of the Anti-Japanese War from this perspective, which can be said to be extremely rare.
This has also made more and more people pay attention to this new film by Li Yi.
"As you can imagine, Director Dog definitely arranged another tear gas bomb!"
"You don't have to watch it if you don't like it!"
"I'm such a bitch. I know I can always cry when I watch a movie directed by a dog, but I just can't help but want to watch it!"
"Suddenly I'm so excited. There are so few movies like this. Although I still don't know what the movie is about, it's really rare to see this cruel war through the eyes of underage children."
In fact, many outside directors, especially those who make films with the same theme, are envious and jealous of Li Yi.
Look, this was just a random audition. Li Yi didn't even need to do anything. He only needed to show off the gimmick, and he created a popular and unseemly program. Not only did he directly use the movie's
The cost was recouped, and the movie was already making a profit even before filming started.
The key is that a lot of people outside the world praised it, and the movie was promoted without spending any money.
There is no surprise in "War Meridian". After this wave of popularity, it has become the most anticipated war movie with the main theme this year.
Of course, this is not only related to this temporary program, but the entry point Li Yi is looking for is also very special.
Many war films with the main theme nowadays focus on soldiers, either individuals or groups, but there are also earlier ones that focused on women.
But few people focus on children.
When such films appear together, it seems particularly fresh to tell the story of the Anti-Japanese War period from a different angle like Li Yi's "War Meridian".
But it's hard to say whether anyone secretly accused Li Yi of being a chicken thief.
And as long as children are involved, then such a movie, such a war-themed movie, is bound to be a tear-jerker.
Even if Li Yi doesn't say this, fans will figure it out on their own.
This is also true.
The few words Li Yi revealed can already explain what kind of movie this is.
Sacrifice, paying the price of life, etc. As we all know, in war movies, the scenes of sacrifice are always the most tear-jerking scenes.
What's more, they are still children!
Time passed in confusion.
Li Yi did not wait until the last day to choose the final actor.
In fact, not only netizens are paying attention to this "outdoor reality show" program, Li Yi often goes to watch it.
He mainly looks at the condition of these children.
And as time goes by, after the initial novelty wears off, for these children, this summer camp activity is no longer as interesting as it was at the beginning.
Especially outdoors, although Li Yi never said that they couldn't take a bath or do this or that.
But because I already know Li Yi’s purpose and thoughts.
So they all know that although there are no standards for this summer camp and this life experience on the outskirts of the Wild Great Wall, in fact, there are already standards.
Therefore, as time goes by, there are still some children who can't stand it anymore and withdraw from this summer camp activity early.
And the rest of them gritted their teeth and persisted.
With anything, after the novelty wears off, what's left is suffering.
In fact, not only children, but even adults may not be able to endure it all the time.
But there were still many children who gritted their teeth and persisted, and they began to enjoy themselves through hardship.
What's interesting is that it seems that the children are not as active as they were at the beginning, and the program is not as exciting as it was at the beginning.
However, the popularity is getting higher day by day. Because at the beginning, this program attracted more adult netizens, but gradually as the news spread, this program attracted more and more future netizens.
Adult viewers and parents of children.
On the contrary, because the children have been outdoors for a long time, their clothes are no longer clean and all of them are unkempt, but it does make people feel a little more "wild" and "earthy". At least they
It no longer feels like a city kid like it did in the beginning, very fashionable and "trendy"!
Li Yi has actually gradually finalized some actors.
The preparations for "War Meridian" have actually been going on all along, and we are just waiting for this half-month "audition" to be over before filming can officially start.
In fact, although this time was only a short half month, these children also gained a lot, especially a few young actors, whose performance in this half month was really impressive!
And even for those children who quit, their parents and themselves were filled with emotion when being interviewed.
It may be a bit of a show, but it is undeniable that this experience will definitely be unforgettable for them.
