Chapter 963: Fame spreads all over the world, and slander follows.
Wang Ya is one of this batch of evacuated overseas Chinese. There are more than 600 people like her who have successfully returned to China from Africa.
Each of them couldn't help but describe their excitement on the Internet.
And this also made countless netizens excited.
We usually enjoy peace at home, and many people take it for granted. But only when you go abroad can you understand how proud it is to have a strong motherland.
There are people from so many countries in Africa, but only our motherland sends warships to pick up overseas travelers home.
At that moment, how could one not be moved?
Li Yi was also watching the news, and he was also proud of having such a strong motherland.
But in my mind, I recalled two movies with the background of evacuation of overseas Chinese.
"Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea"!
The former set a box office record for domestic movies, and although the latter was not as good as it was, it was also a great success.
Li Yi recalled not only these things, but also the various controversies caused by these two movies.
For example, "Wolf Warrior 2", this movie can be said to be the most controversial one.
Of course, it is understandable. After all, there are so many celebrities, and the same movie has achieved such high box office, and its influence is so great that it has long been separated from the category of the movie itself.
Those who like this movie can praise it to the heavens, but those who don't like it or have ulterior motives will simply step on it under their feet.
However, this is also a situation that a movie like this will inevitably encounter.
To be honest, "Wolf Warrior 2" cannot be called a classic purely from the perspective of a commercial movie. It can only be said to be a fairly good commercial movie with a main theme.
There are indeed some details that make people feel that they cannot withstand scrutiny, but the movie itself is the product of artistic processing.
No matter how controversial it is, the fact is that this film has indeed filled a gap in Chinese genre films to some extent.
What type of film?
A movie with the main theme of personal heroism!
There are countless Hollywood movies with this theme.
Despite its shortcomings, it has to be said that as a commercial film, the film itself is still very qualified.
At least in some details, it may not be as good as Hollywood, where practice makes perfect, but generally speaking, it is already the pinnacle of domestic films of this type.
As for some controversies, I can only say that as long as it is a movie with the main theme, it already carries original sin in the eyes of some people.
If we analyze it objectively, this film may not be a classic, but at least it is a very groundbreaking domestic film.
If nothing else, to be honest, for Li Yi, if he wanted to make a movie like this, he really wouldn't dare to say that he could make it well.
Mainly this is a shootout action movie!
First of all, it can be said that the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" is a Hollywood-style personal heroism movie with Chinese themes and characteristics.
To some extent, this is actually more like a personal film.
Perhaps it's because the director of the original work is not a professional director, so most of the time he focuses on action scenes.
The literary and drama aspects are much weaker. Of course, in a commercial movie or an action commercial movie, you can't expect to cover everything.
For movies like this, warships, missile launches, shelling, etc., for Li Yi, with his current status and his earlier cooperation with the military on "Changjin Lake", compared to the original film, it can be said that it doesn't matter
Whether it’s connections or funds, it’s all over the place.
But the biggest problem lies in the protagonist!
Yes, it is difficult to choose the protagonist. Why do you say that?
Li Yi has worked with people such as Zhou Guo, Lin Yunbin, and even Chen Wen in the past. To be honest, it is not difficult for them to play the role of soldiers. They have played many roles and have received a lot of military training themselves.
, although it is only the most basic training, it can well show the style of a soldier.
At least the soldiers they perform will not feel out of place.
But this is a traditional military film. In fact, it can only be regarded as more of a modern action gunfight film.
Although this movie has a real story background, in fact, it is not a realistic movie. Because realistically, you cannot make the kind of popcorn feeling that makes the audience happy.
It’s worth mentioning here that, I don’t know since when, many people seem to be somewhat disparaging of “popcorn” commercial movies.
But in fact, it is not that simple to achieve the popcorn effect, that is, to make the audience enjoy watching it, because in fact, to a certain extent, commercial movies stimulate the visual senses, while emotional literary films
What stimulates the psychological senses is that there is really no difference in difficulty between the two.
It is impossible for this kind of movie to be praised by everyone.
Because if you really think about making the plot completely consistent with reality, then the movie will not pass the review at all if nothing else.
Therefore, artistic processing is necessary, which is why the original film will make some critical and rational parties think it is an out-and-out bad film.
For example, the detail of attaching rockets to the barbed wire is considered by many to be child's play and the biggest bug.
But in fact, there is nothing wrong with this approach in theory.
But you can never make sense with those people.
Therefore, if you make a movie like this, the higher the box office and the greater the influence, it is destined to receive more criticism and doubts.
Because this type of movie itself is a main theme movie, you can't help but promote the main theme, and you can't help but promote that this is a patriotic film.
But often when this kind of thing starts, some people will naturally feel disgusted.
I think it's like marketing patriotic sentiments.
However, this is originally one of the main selling points of the movie!
Of course, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Your box office is so high and your influence is so great. Zeng Guofan once said: "When fame spreads all over the world, slander will follow." This is also inevitable!
Back to business.
It can be said that if Li Yi wants to make "Wolf Warrior", then this movie may create a new box office record, but it will definitely be the one with the most mixed reviews among all Li Yi's movies.
department.
But he didn't care much about this, but the problem was still the same. In this movie, action scenes were the key, and it was hard to find a leading actor.
It can be said that with the decline of action movies in Hong Kong, domestic movies are especially modern in action movies. How many real action stars are there?
No! It can be said that at least there is no such actor among the people Li Yi knows.
Action actors are very hard and tired. It can even be said that among veteran action actors like Cheng Hu, which one is not injured all over the body? It is strange for them not to be injured during filming.
But veteran actors like Cheng Hu are already old and can't be impressed at all.
And because action movies are in decline, at least domestic action movies are in decline, so naturally there are even fewer actors in this area.
However, Li Yi has not thought too much about this issue for the time being. The reason is that there are no suitable actors among the actors he knows, but with so many people and actors in China, it may not be true that there is no one who can meet his requirements.
