Chapter 967: .Do you have any misunderstandings about movies?

Although the project of "My Motherland and Me" will not be a super big production, in fact, because of the addition of the seven directors, it can already be said to be a super big movie in itself!
At least, next year's National Day files, there will be few companies that do not have a long eye, dare to face the movie of hard steel!
Originally, Wang Yifan thought, "My Motherland and Me" is a movie with the main theme, and it is divided into seven short stories. He shouldn't need to do anything by himself.
But who knows, he soon found out that he was wrong!
"My Motherland and Me" focuses on the stories of various historical moments since the establishment of China.
Wang Yifan had no idea about the script. Therefore, the original arrangement was that for this kind of story, Li Xinghua felt that Huaying had the most talents and materials in this area, so Huaying would naturally handle it.
The script of the main melody movie, but also the story of that moment in history.
It seems very simple.
In this regard, official companies like Huaying do not have too many talents in this area.
So, soon, the screenwriter of Huaying came up with the first draft of "My Motherland and Me"!
After all, this movie is extraordinary, so the seven directors, including Wang Yifan, were invited to watch the script together.
Since the establishment of China for so many years, there are naturally many historical moments worth remembering.
Li Xinghua took a stack of scripts and posted them one by one!
"Look at it first. This is the first draft completed by our Huaying gathered 18 old, middle-aged and young screenwriters. Of course, because it is only the first draft, there must be some shortcomings. You are all experts, so please give us more opinions! "Although such a movie is directed by several major directors, in fact, this movie is definitely dominated by Huaying.
Li Xinghua naturally attaches great importance to this film.
Therefore, the screenwriters, not to mention that the top ones are all elites, but at least, in the main theme movie, these people are all experienced!
"The screenwriter has written ten stories in total. Let's take a look at them separately. Let's take the best!" Li Xinghua said with a smile while distributing the script to everyone.
Wang Yifan took the script and read it curiously.
The title of the script is "Torchbearer", which should be a story about the Olympics.
Although the theme is different from the story about the Olympics in the previous life, Wang Yifan doesn't care too much.
As long as it is a story related to a moment in history, it doesn’t have to be the same.
As long as the story is exciting enough, that's enough!
But soon, Wang Yifan's brows frowned.
The main theme is really the main theme.
The content of the story is not complicated.
It tells the story of a handicapped torchbearer passing the torch.
The content of the story revolves around this.
Su Chen saved a child because of his bravery, but he was hit by an oncoming car. One of his legs was cut off on the spot. Although he finally got his life back, he became disabled.
He was recommended to be the Olympic torchbearer.
For this, he has been working hard to prepare, sitting in a wheelchair to practice every day.
But the day before he was going to pass the torch, he had a high fever.
He knew that if he was found out about his situation, he would most likely have to change.
For this, he insisted on pretending that there was no problem.
But he was finally discovered, he begged hard and promised that he would be able to complete the torch relay!
On the day of the torch relay...
Well, anyway, the whole story, Wang Yifan looked silly!
Because he didn't understand at all, what exactly was going to be told in this story?
Su Chen has to insist on completing the torch relay when he is sick?
The main melody? To be honest, where is this main theme?
Wang Yifan was a little confused!
In fact, not only Wang Yifan was stunned, but others were even more stunned.
That is Cao Meng!
The script he got was the script of the return of Hong Kong Island, and the script was called "The Return"!
The content caught Cao Meng by surprise!
The content of "Return" is about no content!
Yes, there is no content!
Because this script is directly a documentary!
It records the occupation of Hong Kong Island, then difficult negotiations, and finally return on time.
Cao Meng is really dumbfounded!
Is this a movie? What is it that you give me a whole documentary?
The other directors are frowning in the same way.
"Everyone, let's talk about it." Li Xinghua also noticed that everyone was reacting, and he was a little surprised.
"Ahem, I don't understand, we are a movie, why do we have to come in as a documentary?" Cao Meng said first.
Li Xinghua looked at a middle-aged man in the screenwriter.
"Is there anything wrong with the documentary? Don't you think this is a breakthrough? And it can show the unknown stories about the return of Hong Kong Island to a wide audience..."
Cao Meng opened his mouth, somewhat speechless!
He doesn't know what to say!
"Who wrote this "torchbearer" story?" Wang Yifan also asked Yang Yang's manuscript.
This time it was an older screenwriter raising his hand.
"I especially want to know, this story, what exactly do you want to express?"
"This is a true story. I think it is very representative, so I wrote it. Su Chen was disabled because of bravery. He was recommended to be a torchbearer, but he had a high fever on the eve of passing the torch. In the end, he insisted. After completing the torch relay, he showed his pride and pride in the Olympics and the identity of the torchbearer...Finally, after the torch was handed over, he was in a coma, which was more prominent. His patriotic will made him stick to it. For a moment..."
Wang Yifan was completely stunned!
Others are also dumbfounded!
Can this be so?
"I have a suggestion!" Cao Meng suddenly spoke when more and more directors asked questions and everyone expressed dissatisfaction with the existing script.
"Director Cao, you say!" Li Xinghua is not a fool either. He actually knows that there are problems with these script stories, but he subconsciously believes that it is normal for the first draft to have problems.
But I didn't expect these directors to react so much!
He was also somewhat taken aback.
Of course, in fact, there is another point. In fact, many of the recruited screenwriters are very senior members. Therefore, even Li Xinghua has the feeling of shooting himself in the foot!
"In fact, these stories are written with ideas, but we are a movie, and this idea was put forward by Director Wang Yifan. I don't think we need to stay close and seek further. You know, Director Wang is most admirable, but it is not. The director's level is his screenwriting level. I think it is possible for Director Wang to lead the writing of this script. What do you think?"
"I agree, it should have been more work for Wang Dao capable people!"
"Yes, what we are going to shoot is not an ordinary theme, but the "Mekong Operation" Director Wang did a good job..."
