Chapter 1160 A Hero In The Unconventional Sense

Although Li Yi said that he wanted to open his mind, he didn't just look at this movie as a commercial movie, so the plot didn't need to come up with those plots that were criticized as historical nihilism.

But the problem is the same, how to arrange the plot?

After all, even though he doesn't value the box office that much, on the other hand he still hopes that more people will watch the movie, so this is another paradox.

As we all know, many ordinary people, in fact, really don't know much about this period of history, or they have heard it, or they know it and don't know why.

In Li Yi's view, the reason why the original version has polarized evaluations is because of this.

Because there are indeed many people who do not understand this period of history, and after watching the movie, they may regard the movie as history.

This is really not a joke, but the fact is that, after watching the movie, there are actually only a small number of people who actually look up the information of this period of history.

For this reason, films adapted from real history face a choice in this regard.

Do you choose to follow history, or do you choose more artistic processing?
The former can easily make the movie lose the refreshing feeling of watching movies. For example, "Eight Hundred", compared with the next eight years, the bloody battle in the first four days and four nights is obviously more exciting.

As far as the average moviegoer is concerned, they would obviously prefer to watch those four days and four nights rather than what happened in the next eight years.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if it is true that what Mu Qing said, the two are half and half, it is really not feasible, because movies are always made for most people, at least Li Yi thinks so.

Especially this kind of movie, if there are few people watching it, it will lose its meaning to put it bluntly.

Li Yi feels that he is asking for trouble. In fact, if he really wants to make this kind of movie, he may not have to choose a movie like "Eight Hundred".

But the more he understands this period of history, the more he wants to make this movie, because even if he looks at the entire history of the War of Resistance, this is a very special and meaningful battle.

A solitary battle with no supplies inside and no reinforcements outside, a river separated the two worlds.On one side of the river, there are singing and dancing in the concession, but on the other side of the river is purgatory on earth.

This can be said to be unique.

Zhao Guangming was also puzzled by this question: "Why did you choose this period of history?"

No wonder Zhao Guangming was puzzled. You must know that the Eight Hundred Heroes of the Sixing Warehouse do not belong to our party's army, so this kind of movie is actually quite sensitive.

If you are not careful, you may get 404!

Even the original version of "Eight Hundred" was said to beautify the fruit party, but in fact, it was made by the other party when it was promoting it.

Because this also involves Sun from the 88th Division, the other party's reputation is very stinky, and when this movie was promoted, it chose the other party's descendants, so many people scolded him.

Perhaps everyone recognizes that the Eight Hundred Heroes are heroes, and the officials have also affirmed it. The teachers have said that they are typical of the War of Resistance, but that Sun is completely opposite to the bravery of the Eight Hundred Heroes.

"Because this period of history is too special." Li Yi said.

"But this period of history is not so easy to photograph." Zhao Guangming is obviously not an ordinary person. He may not be so clear about this period of history, but at least he understands it. Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing.

"The reason why I chose to shoot this story is because the eight hundred heroes here are very different from the "heroes" we generally recognize in the traditional sense." Li Yi said.

"According to our general knowledge, or in our deep-rooted knowledge, heroes are often better off than to die, but the momentary bloody bravery on the frontal battlefield is certainly heroic, but everyone knows the definite ending.

For this reason, we all come together to sing the praises of those heroes who died heroically in the war, but these eight hundred heroes are different. Perhaps everyone will recognize that those who died on the battlefield are well-deserved heroes, and the rest Woolen cloth?

They obeyed the order and went to the concession area and were disarmed and imprisoned, so are they heroes?
None of them knew if persistence would make sense.

Don't be humiliated, don't flee privately, don't scatter, don't join the puppet army, and don't fight civil wars.A few simple words are easy to say, how much blood, tears and bitterness should be in the isolated island behind the enemy in the war years?

The four days and eight years of the eight hundred heroes are obviously not a perfect heroic story of Huaguo style.

Even the lone army itself is unwilling to call itself a hero.

But I want to say that it is still a heroic story.

Because of this, I hope to show this period of history more, not to reinterpret what a hero is, but at least let people know that the sacrificed people are great, but those who survived, endured humiliation, and persisted until The ones who broke down in the end, they are equally great!They deserve the title of heroes. "Li Yi said a little excitedly.

This is the result of the fact that after he collected information during this period, the more he knew, the more he felt uneasy.

"Even to a certain extent, the tragic hero's tears make people cry even more!" Li Yi couldn't help but said again.

Zhao Guangming nodded.

He understood Li Yi's thoughts, but this made him smile wryly.

"So you still want to film the story of the eight hundred heroes after entering the concession?" Zhao Guangming asked Li Yi while looking at him.

Li Yichang sighed and said: "I am also a little entangled for the time being. Simply speaking from the viewability of the movie, in fact, the following plot should not be too long. , but it is somewhat out of context."

"Besides, this also involves some sensitive issues. No, I came to Mr. Zhao for help." Li Yi said with a smile.

"In fact, some people have filmed this historical story before, such as "Eight Hundred Heroes" filmed by Baodao and "The Battle of the Four Lines Warehouse" filmed by us in the millennium, which are two of them. However, like What you said, the same thing was not photographed, and what happened to the eight hundred heroes after the defense of the Sixing Warehouse is indeed not without reason." Zhao Guangming pondered for a moment and said.

"Oh? Please tell Zhao Dong in detail!" Li Yi suddenly became interested.

"There are many reasons. There is no need to say more about Treasure Island. After all, for them, the battle of defending the Sixing Warehouse will inevitably require a lot of landscaping. Director Wang Chu of Treasure Island back then , the original version, it is said that it was directly banned, and then it was released after several revisions, but in the end it just stopped at crossing the river."

"Because the front can still be drawn with a stroke of spring and autumn brushwork. Even if it doesn't beautify, it can at least blur the background. But even if it is the influence of the original director Wang Chu in Baodao, he still dare not touch it."
