tearjerker director

Li Yi quite likes the movie "Moon".

Of course, Tang Lu was even happier. Although he did hope to get Li Yi to help because of the Science Fiction Film Festival, he didn't have too many expectations before this. After all, the movie is not a slap in the face. It can be photographed.

What's more, if it is to be the opening film of a science fiction film festival, the quality requirements are definitely not low.

In fact, it is not that there are no science fiction film directors in China, but why are they not found?
Because this science fiction film festival will not only involve domestic filmmakers, but also plans to invite many overseas science fiction films. It would be very embarrassing if there is no work that can be produced by oneself.

Just like football, if the country wants to bid for the Olympic Games, this kind of comprehensive event really depends on the overall national strength. But if it wants to host the Football World Cup, the domestic environment is enough, but it is simply impossible. Why?
I understand everything I understand.

Now, although Li Yi simply described the outline of the story he thought of, everyone here is a filmmaker, so they naturally have the ability to distinguish whether a story is good or bad.

Is a movie good or not? Although it is not just about the story, sometimes a good script can also give you a lousy film if you meet an inappropriate director or a director with insufficient ability. However, Li Yi's side No need to worry at all.

So Tang Lu was naturally extremely happy.

"Tsk, tsk, this story is great! It is not only a hard-core science fiction, but also does not require high production costs. It will also be a strong guide for domestic science fiction movies!" Tang Lu couldn't help but admire.

Everyone else nodded.

Because as mentioned before, if science fiction movies want to develop, the biggest problem is that most science fiction movies nowadays are large-scale productions, and the results are often mixed, which also makes many investors unwilling to invest in science fiction movies. Spend money on this type of investment.

Therefore, what is needed right now is not a classic big-budget science fiction blockbuster, because although such science fiction blockbusters are certainly more influential, they are not universal. However, low-cost science fiction movies like "Moon" may be as popular as Like "Twelve Angry Men", it has become the target of imitation by many people.

The key is that the low cost of this type of movie means that the threshold is low. Naturally, more directors can try it. In this way, not only will it revitalize the science fiction movie sector, but at least it will inject new ideas into the science fiction movie. blood.

"However, one thing about your story is that since resources can be mined on the moon, why is there only one mining base?" Chen Wen asked.

"Who told you there's only one?" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Uh? Huh?" Everyone was a little confused.

"The moon is very big, okay? Moreover, even if there is only one, it doesn't matter. It can be said that the cost of mining is high and ordinary companies can't afford it, right?" Li Yi said with a smile.

In fact, this problem is really not a big problem.

Of course, the settings in the original version are indeed a bit nonsense. For example, the company to which the protagonist belongs is said to occupy 70% of the world's energy share, but such a company is only willing to hire one miner. It is really like catching a sheep and killing it. Yes, it is indeed a bit ridiculous. Of course, these same things do not affect the plot of the movie.

Because in a science fiction movie, you can’t really be flawless.

The story of "Moon" is about another "I" in the world, and explores the ultimate position of a "person"!

The beginning of the story of "Moon" is about realizing a hypothesis, what would happen if there really was a second you in the world?

"What would you do if you met the second you in this world?" Li Yi asked this question with a smile.

This is also a core line of the movie, but if we really meet, how will we face each other? Will we be humble or argue, cooperate peacefully or fight to death?This is all troubling, and involves a lot of social psychology and ethical norms, and there are too many variables.

"I really haven't thought about this!"

"However, your story does have the flavor of an alternative infinite cycle. One clone and another clone, a cycle of three years. It's terrifying to think about it!" Zhou Guo couldn't help but say.

"Furthermore, this setting is indeed very interesting. In fact, the concept of human cloning has been around for a long time. This is not new, but the cleverness of this story is that not only do the two "me" have the same genes, but they also have social memories (emotions, activation time) knowledge reserves) are the same.

The environment setting is also really ingenious: in the isolated outer space, the truth is slowly being revealed, and one of the two people must be sacrificed due to objective conditions...

The first thing to note is that these are two people, two different people.Before activation, all clones have the same physical, mental, and emotional consciousness, which is almost identical.But after starting up, the first Lin Xi experienced three years of life on the moon, three years of loneliness, longing, and trying and learning other things, making him and the second Lin Xi already two different people in different senses.Their encounter was essentially a meeting of selves of different ages. Lin Xi, who had lived on the moon for three years, passed through a time wormhole and met himself when he first arrived. " Chen Wen analyzed.

"And the main theme of this movie is also very interesting. Do clones count as human beings?" Tang Lu said with a smile.

"Indeed, judging from the movie, clones are enslaved objects, and, almost like "The Truman Show", their lives are arranged, even though it is only a short three years!"

"The key is that clones also have the same emotions as humans, which is very interesting!"

"By the way, one question is, why clone humans instead of directly arranging robots?" Chen Wen asked again.

"Because humans are always different from robots, and clones are derived from humans. Apart from their lifespan, they are actually not much different from real humans in other aspects." Li Yi said with a smile.

In fact, this is also the charm of the movie "Moon". If you want to interpret it, you can lead yourself into a ditch if you interpret it deeply.

Because there are many issues involved here, such as do clones count as human beings?

Why are human clones different from robots?
What is man's ultimate position?

It is the so-called that all people are born equal, regardless of poor, rich, black, white, able-bodied, disabled, clones, original people, intelligent robots, aliens, or earthlings.As long as it has emotions and can think, it enjoys the rights of a "human" and assumes the responsibilities of a "human".This is the ultimate position of "man". "

"Moon" is not actually a commercial film. On the contrary, this movie actually has a bit of literature and art.

"Actually, do you think that the setting of this clone is a bit like the NPC in the game?" Lin Yunbin suddenly said.

Everyone looked at him in surprise.

"NPC is a game term - defined as "characters not controlled by game players." I think the only characters in this story - clones, are exactly such "NPCs". They are just set It's just a program. Although there are emotions, the emotions are false and implanted, and the entire living environment is created and deliberately obscured.

So, from this point of view, are they really "human"? " Lin Yunbin said again. "When you put it this way, I think this does have the flavor of "The Truman Show". The Truman in "The Truman Show" cannot control his own destiny, but is directed by the director. Playing with applause, and the same is true in this story. In fact, clones cannot control their own destiny and can only be played with by the person who created them. So, from this point of view, it is obvious that This is just an "NPC".When human beings cannot control their own destiny and can only be manipulated by the person who created them, it is obvious that they are just an "NPC".

To put it simply, this clone is just an NPC in a certain base of this company.And we, all living beings, are just NPCs in a specific location in a certain country on the earth. "Chen Wen also said with a look of surprise.

"This is really scary when you think about it. What we learn in school since childhood is actually similar to the implanted feelings and memories. This is to enable you to be competent in a certain position within a certain period of time when you grow up. Work, and when you finish your work, your lifespan is almost over. Life is just like this." Tang Lu sighed.

Li Yi was a little speechless when he heard this. The movie hasn't even been made yet, so why are you just letting the discussion go to such a deep level?

"Ahem, are you a little off topic?" Li Yi asked.

"Okay, indeed, but your movie is a bit interesting. Although the cost is not high, it is not that easy to shoot." Tang Lu said.

Li Yi nodded. Indeed, "Moon" is actually a special movie in my memory.

People who like it can give it a high rating, but people who don't like it can also criticize it as worthless.

This movie is indeed difficult to make. In my memory, it is not a Hollywood movie, but a British movie.

Some people say that this movie captures British elegance, and it is not without reason.

Therefore, movies need to be very sophisticated in terms of lenses, color grading, lighting and setting, etc.

Because this will be a very sad and sad movie.

It will be a very lonely and lonely film again.

At the same time, it is a very beautiful and wonderful film.

Why do you say that?

"Because one day, you find that your memories are all fake, whether they are beautiful or painful, and it turns out that you are just a clone of the real memory of yourself, what will happen?" Li Yi asked.

"Hiss!" Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Just like the question Li Yi raised, if his memories are fake, then what are those emotions?
Of course, this assumption cannot be realized in reality, so this makes the movie make sense.

Because in movies, you can try to express this kind of emotion and this kind of thought.

Why do you say this is a very hurtful movie? That's it.

They have shared memories, but there is no actual home. They really existed, but in the end they never found their destination. And the people they love may not have known that they existed, and they love and miss them so truly. Pass.

How sad and hopeless this is.

If "Moon" is to be filmed well, not only the director, but also the actors are also very important.

Because this is a real one-man show. The key is that this one-man show requires one person to play multiple roles.

Therefore, it is also a great test for the actor's acting skills.

However, this is really not a problem for Li Yi. For example, each of the three people in front of him is actually competent.

"How about it? Which of you is interested in playing the role of Lin Xi?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

The three of them, Chen Wen, are all quite moved. This role is definitely rare for a good actor and an actor who is ambitious.

There are actually quite a lot of one-man movies, but it's really not that easy to make this type of movie well.

So I really like the script, the story and the characters.

The story of "Moon" will undoubtedly give the characters a lot of room to play.

Because as mentioned above, this assumption itself has no reference examples, so this time it is very difficult to test the performance of the actors.

For example, how do you feel when you see someone who is the same as you?
This feeling can only be felt but cannot be expressed in words.

As a director, it is actually difficult for Li Yi to say what kind of feeling he wants. This is a great test for actors at this time.

If this kind of scene is performed well, it will definitely be a win-win situation for all aspects, but once it is screwed up, it is conceivable that it will definitely ruin the movie.

"So, this is a live audition?" Tang Lu saw that the three of them were quite moved and couldn't help but joked with a smile.

"Okay, then tell me what you think about this story and this character." Li Yi couldn't help but smile a little.

"Let me tell you, I think the most difficult part of this role is the emotional switching between No. 5 and No. 6. When people live in this world, even the closest people cannot share 100% of their hearts. When individuals experience a life together, their memories and feelings of every moment are also different. Only by becoming the same person, standing on the same stand, loving the same person, and worrying about the same thing can we have the same memories.

This is originally a beautiful thing, because finally there is someone who completely understands my heart and emotions.But in this story, it is so sad. For No. 5 and No. 6, the beauty of meeting their lover for the first time and the look of their lover are so real, but they are all fake. No. 5 has this memory, and No. 6 There is this memory, from No. 1 to No. 1000, this memory is there. Such a beautiful memory is fake and does not belong to them.

But No. 5 is actually okay, because his life is about to end, but No. 6 has just begun, but what makes him most painful is that he knows the truth! "
