Chen Wen added: "Although this script does have a lot of problems, your subject matter does have a lot of potential! By the way, commercial blockbusters with the main theme of personal heroism of this kind are still quite rare in China. In addition, this time
The evacuation incident has had such a huge impact, so, as expected of you, although I don’t know where you found the script, well, just assume that you wrote it yourself. There are many loopholes, but commercial movies are not inherently
Maybe we can really cover everything. Putting aside those plot details, I think the entry point of this story is still very good."
"Yes, I think so too. In fact, many of our audiences still have relatively low requirements for domestic films. Just one thing: why can only foreigners save the world? Why are the heroes American soldiers and not our soldiers? This
In fact, many viewers have been talking about it. I remember that every time a commercial film like Hollywood is released, there will be many such voices." Zhou Guo also echoed.
I'm going to criticize them all, but they are all veteran actors and they still have good taste.
Everyone can see that the story of "Wolf Warrior" has huge potential. After all, when a movie like this is made, it is a commercial movie in itself. And commercial movies, to put it bluntly, don't pursue high reputation too much.
At present, even the Hollywood movies that are currently ranked number one in the box office in film history actually rely on technology to win. They have more flaws than anything else. The public reputation is not particularly good, but they can sell well.
"The main thing is to highlight the self-confidence of a nation. In fact, you can already see the success of several of your main theme movies directed by Director Li earlier. Therefore, the main theme movies, especially those that are linked to real events, are more likely to be accepted by the audience."
The level is still relatively high, and I am quite optimistic about it." Lin Yunbin said with a smile.
"However, one thing is that once this movie is actually released, you don't need to worry about the box office of Director Li Da's movie, but it is estimated that the public opinion will be more controversial. In fact, there is still a big difference between this movie and the main theme movie you made before.
Different ones, such as "Wreaths Under the Mountain", why it was well-received and well-received, and not very controversial, is because the background and content of this film are not a theme film in the traditional sense, but this time your film
Movies are completely different." Chen Wen added with a smile.
"Oh? Why is it different?" Li Yi asked.
"Movies like "Wreaths Under the Mountain" can be said to be films with true Chinese characteristics. There is no model of imitating or borrowing from Hollywood movies. It can even be said that "Wreaths Under the Mountain" is also an anti-traditional hero film.
, so even if you compare it with Hollywood movies, because Hollywood itself rarely has this type of movie, so even if you want to be black, it's not easy to be embarrassed.
But "Wolf Warrior" is completely different. Your story line is actually a Hollywood model, and the traces are relatively obvious. There are countless Hollywood films like this, and there are many excellent films, so they will inevitably be used for comparison.
As a result, you understand! Especially since this is the work of your director Li Da, it will be more likely to cause controversy." Chen Wen blinked.
"Moreover, when promoting this type of movie, there will definitely be a patriotic strategy, but this strategy will inevitably sting some people's nerves, so why can't the rhythm be so good?"
Li Yi nodded. In his memory, the promotion of this movie was indeed very good, but it was a bit too much.
Especially on the internet, where there are so many people who are both fake and fake, it’s really easy.
Usually some people say: You have the ability to make one yourself.
These types of people are definitely not friendly forces, because once such words are said, it can be said that even neutral passerby movie fans will be disgusted.
Oh, I think the refrigerator I bought is not good. Do I have to build one myself?
Another way is to simply say that if you don’t read it, you are not patriotic, and so on.
The same thing is extremely lethal and too extreme. This kind of thing is the real big black man.
Because moral kidnapping and patriotism kidnapping are what most movie fans hate the most.
This is called going online.
So will this happen when a movie like "Wolf Warrior" is released?
The answer is yes.
The reason why this movie was so widely criticized in my memory actually has a lot to do with what the director and lead actor said in interviews with the media.
In the eyes of many people, you have made so much money by selling your patriotism. This is a fact, why don't you allow others to say it?
You should keep a low profile and then keep a low profile. You are so high-profile, have you asked us?
Back to business.
Li Yi didn't care at all about such possible situations.
In fact, although he has many fans, he also has many negative fans.
Being praised and criticized is normal.
"I understand all this, and I really don't care too much, but the biggest problem in making this movie is not the script, but the actors. I haven't thought of a suitable actor for this leading role. Do you have any?
No suitable candidates to recommend?" Li Yi stopped worrying about other things and asked directly.
"Well, when you say that, it's true. Action movies are in decline in China, so there aren't many actors in this category. Some of them are just those who have been involved in Hong Kong movies in their early years, such as Cheng Hu.
People, but their age is not suitable, I really didn’t expect there to be any suitable candidates. After all, the requirements of your movie are indeed quite high."
"Today's actors can even be said to be dedicated if they can memorize their lines proficiently. Most of the action actors have to endure a lot of hardships, and it's hard to get into the role. It's really hard to find them." Zhou Guo couldn't help but frown and shook his head.
.
Everyone knows that many of the martial arts stars who shoot action scenes have really struggled to get there.
And unlike other types of actors and action actors, acting skills are not the key, the key is whether there is work in hand.
Compared with other actors, action actors in this field, no matter whether they are famous or not, have to endure hardships. Action actors of the older generation like Cheng Hu have injuries all over their bodies, which is really not something to say casually.
Even when they are filming, it is normal to get injured, and it is weird not to get injured.
In addition to market reasons, it’s not that there are no such actors, but most of them have a hard time getting ahead.
At this time, Lin Yunbin suddenly said: "Actually, I have a candidate here who may be able to meet your requirements, Director Li."
Li Yi immediately looked over.
Others are also quite curious.
Although Lin Yunbin is a first-line actor and holds the title of Best Actor, he is actually very low-key at ordinary times.
And he is famous for being very demanding, not only for himself, but also for his supporting actors.
If he can boast that he can meet Li Yi's requirements, it will definitely not be without purpose.
