Chapter 698: The director will also be involved in the play
Li Yi and Mu Qing made an appointment with Sun Bin to meet the next day.
Li Yi revealed his and Mu Qing's identities.
"We want to put your story on the big screen so that more people know about you and you people..." Li Yi thought for a while and said.
Sun Bin was a little confused for a moment.
However, he immediately agreed.
After that, he talked about a lot of his experiences along the way, and Mu Qing recorded it with a tape recorder.
Along the way, Sun Bin has met good people and bad people.
He has been deceived by many people, helped by many people, and obtained a lot of information about his son. Even if it is outrageous, he will still look for it.
He also talked about several people like him who have been looking for relatives for many years.
Some people gave up, while others continued to search like him.
Mu Qing asked him for the contact information of those people.
When leaving, Sun Bin kept saying thank you, thank you!
Seeing his hunched figure leaving, Li Yi and Mu Qing felt very uncomfortable.
In the following time, Li Yi contacted the contact information of those people left by Sun Bin and contacted them one by one.
Then take Mu Qing to the city where the other party is.
There are those who have been searching for their children for twelve years on motorcycles, and there are those who, like Sun Bin, run mobile food stalls and travel all over the country...
There was also a mother who was looking for her lost daughter. She was only in her thirties, but she looked like an old man.
Many people say that China is not doing a good job in combating trafficking, but in fact, after collecting a lot of information, Li Yi knows that in the era of mobile Internet, such things are actually much less common than in the past. Of course,
Less does not mean there is none. In fact, technology is advancing, but the criminal methods of those traffickers are also upgrading.
To give a simple example, in the early days, children with disabilities and deformities could often be seen begging on the streets. Later, after they were exposed by the police and the media, such things became much less common.
As society develops, today's parents take care of their children much more closely than in the past. At the same time, legal education campaigns have also avoided many such incidents.
However, there are still many human traffickers, and many children are still lost every year.
The more he watched it, the more Li Yi felt that reality-themed movies were really different from other movies, and anti-trafficking-themed movies were also different from the original "I'm Not the God of Medicine."
It is more similar to realism-themed movies such as "Sowon".
In fact, many directors in China have been making reality-themed movies.
It's just a pity that most reality-themed movies are either too heavy-duty or involve too many personal things. When they are finally made, the response is not very good.
In fact, movies with realistic themes usually have a hard time selling well, and it’s not without reason.
The main reason why "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a hit is that its subject matter is universally applicable to the vast majority of people.
It can be said that birth, old age, illness and death are experiences that everyone will experience.
The difficulty of seeing a doctor and the sky-high price of medicines can be said to have hit the pain points of countless people.
Another reason why "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is a hit is that this movie is actually very commercialized to a certain extent.
But not all reality-themed movies can take this route.
The ratings of "Suwon" are high enough, the attention is not bad, and the publicity is also not weak, but what is the result?
Even though this movie won international awards, it still didn't do well at the box office. Why?
Because this type of subject matter naturally has great anti-commercial attributes.
In fact, Li Yi doesn't care too much about the box office of a movie, but a high box office means it will have greater influence and more people will watch it.
At the same time, it can attract more people and more capital to get involved in reality-themed movies.
Another major difficulty with reality-themed films is the issue of scale.
"Su Yuan" was able to pass the censorship and be released smoothly because of a lot of evasive work. First of all, the background of the film was placed in Hong Kong Island by Li Yi. Secondly, because the director was Li Yi and he took the line of Zhao Guangming, so
In the end, I was able to get through it without cutting it.
However, other realistic-themed films do not receive such good treatment.
Because many realist-themed movies expose social reality events, and most of these things that can be made into movies are relatively sensitive, and they also involve many dark sides of society.
This kind of movie is very meaningful, but for ordinary viewers, the viewing experience is not very good.
In fact, realistic-themed movies have many social events that are suitable for adaptation. However, one problem with realistic-themed movies is how to commercialize them.
Realistic movies and literary movies are actually two different things.
Literary films, most of the time, are based on reality with a lot of artistic processing, and the most important thing is the director's personal ideas.
But reality-themed movies are different. You can't have too much exaggerated artistic processing, otherwise, it will appear illogical and give people a "false" feeling!
After the success of "I'm Not a Medicine God", many directors actually began to focus on realistic-themed films, but as a result, they did not achieve the desired results.
But these types of movies are indeed of great significance, and some movies can even truly change society.
Mu Qing is obviously very interested in anti-trafficking movies.
After Li Yi agreed to help her write the script, she still had to do a lot of preparation work, which was to continue visiting families with lost children.
At the same time, Li Yi is also writing the script.
Some stories, even if they are just written out, will make people uncomfortable and depressing.
This movie is like that.
It took more than a week for Li Yicai to write the entire script.
But after finishing writing, Li Yi felt a little depressed. Although he didn't have a child of his own yet and couldn't understand the feelings of parents who lost their children, he still felt a sense of despair.
Many people think that actors are involved in the play, but in fact, directors and screenwriters are also involved in the play. The only difference is that actors are involved in the role, while directors and screenwriters are involved in the whole story.
If the story is a comedy, then the mood will naturally become happy, but if the story is a tragedy or despair, then the same mood will be affected.
Mu Qing hadn't come back yet, so Li Yi walked out of the house alone, went to a nearby park and sat down on a bench.
Watching couples flirting and flirting, watching children running in front, followed by grandparents or parents.
At this moment, a little boy suddenly ran over from a distance, followed by a gray-haired old man, shouting: "Tongtong, slow down."
The little boy stopped not far in front of Li Yi, looked up at the tree behind Li Yi, stretched out his hand to compare his own height, then turned to compare his grandfather's height, and suddenly he shrugged in frustration.
Little melon seeds.
Li Yi couldn't help but turn his head and look. It turned out that the little guy's kite had hung on the treetop behind Li Yi at some point.
Not too high, not too low, but obviously neither the little guy nor his grandpa can reach it.
