Li He was busy filming "Top Gun" and preparing for the wedding, and he felt that he was divided into two people, and he was so busy that his head was hanging upside down, but Li He still went at the invitation of the national teacher.The new work of the national teacher, the gorgeous co-production "The Great Wall", landed in theaters on December 18, and the producer held a grand premiere in Beijing, which will be attended by many characters with heads and faces.Stopped in front of the red carpet, Li He walked on the red carpet alone, Tang Qianqian did not come, she returned to her hometown a few days ago.Walking quickly across the red carpet and signing on the signature wall to take pictures, the host asked two brief questions."
Director Li He, please stay, I have a few questions for you, you have participated in the preview screening of "The Great Wall", can you tell us what kind of movie this is?"
On such occasions, unless there is hatred or unconventionality, it is generally a commercial blow, and Li He is the same."
In my opinion, "The Great Wall" is a film above the standard, and the standard industrial production level, especially the special effects production level of Industrial Light and Magic, is not weaker than Hollywood's first-class special effects production company, and it is definitely worth the ticket price."
While touting "The Great Wall", he brought it to his studio to advertise it, and it didn't leak.The movie is not good at praising special effects, and the special effects are not good at praising the actors, if the actors are not good, then praise them for really working hard, anyway, you can always find a place to praise.For those movies starring traffic stars, fans have always praised them for working hard, being very handsome and beautiful, and so on, but there is no mention of the content of the movie.Most fans also understand that the quality of the movies starring their idols is not very good, isn't praising movies to recruit idols?
It's better to make it clear, I came to see it because of his (her) appearance, and the plot doesn't matter."
The second question is that you are very good at script writing, when we interviewed the national teacher just now, the national teacher said that his new project is in preparation, and you provided the script.So is there a chance to see you write scripts for other directors?
”The moderator continued.In the end, the national teacher is scheming and knows that the reputation of "The Great Wall" is not so good, so he promoted the new movie in advance, and hinted at one thing: "The Great Wall" is not good, it is not my pot, but the script is not good.Coupled with the rumors in private, the national teacher asked to revise the script many times, but the producer did not agree, the national teacher did not want to direct, but the director contract has been signed, so he has to try his best to complete the film.I also made a lot of efforts for the movie, such as asking Li He for help, letting Industrial Light & Magic take over the production of special effects, and so on.The above are all revealed by some insiders in the circle, showing the national teacher who was oppressed by capital and worked hard to maintain the dignity of filmmakers, and successfully attracted sympathy from netizens.The national teacher successfully threw the pot to the producer, and he retreated.Of course, the producer knows the national teacher's method of throwing the pot, but the national teacher has always been in the circle, and the national teacher does not admit it at all, and he has nothing to do with him."
I thought you wouldn't come."
The national teacher received the guests at the entrance of the theater, saw Li He, and gave him a big hug.Li He was confused by the sudden enthusiasm of the national teacher, but he still said: "The crew is filming in a closed area, and I finally took a leave of absence to come." ”"It's good to come, it's good to come, I heard that your wedding date is approaching, you must send me an invitation when the time comes!"
The national teacher smiled.Li He nodded and said, "No problem, I will definitely send it to you." ”"Okay, let's go in first!"
There are many celebrities and big names present, although the national teacher has been in decline in recent years, but he is still the top group of people in the circle, although Li He has risen rapidly, he still can't be compared with the national teacher.At the invitation of the national teacher, Li He sat next to him."
Congratulations on winning the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director again."
The national teacher congratulated.At the Golden Rooster Awards not long ago, Li He won the Best Director again, winning this award three times, and "The Matrix" also won Best Picture, Best Screenplay and other awards."
You're so polite, and thank you for speaking up."
Li He said.In fact, the jury had some debates about whether to award Li He this award, but the national teacher supported Li He, and Li He won this award."
I'm just telling the truth, the future is the world of young people after all, and I'm old."
The national teacher sighed."
Don't say that, it seems to me that you are old and strong, and you can continue to work for decades!"
Li He said.Clint Eastwood is nearly 90 years old and still active among A-list directors, and his "Dream on the Bridge" is still considered one of the best romance movies."
Haha, let's borrow your auspicious words!"
The national teacher laughed and said: "Your script is very exciting, and the recommended actors are also very suitable, after this project is over, I will go all out into the production." ”Li He nodded and didn't speak, maybe the national teacher couldn't grasp the context of commercial films, and the films he shot were sometimes good and bad, but this kind of feature film was still very good.The previous generation of directors has a very humanistic temperament, they care about the lives of the people and all aspects of the country, of course, the films they make are good and bad, and they are more subjective impressions.Like "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" and so on are all works of this period.It wasn't until a giant ship landed in mainland theaters that the hearts of domestic directors were completely shattered, and they found for the first time that no matter how many awards they won or how much praise they received, they were still not as convincing as the real box office data.As a result, mainland directors who seek change are inspired by Li Yan's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and have launched their own new works, such as "Hero", "Wuji" and so on.But transformation is a very painful thing, Li He's senior Chen Kaige failed, and now his status is not up or down, so he can only eat the old book of "Farewell My Concubine".Change is the eternal theme of the film industry, the times are changing, people's concepts are also changing, and technology is also changing.In the era of silent films, who would have thought that adding color to the movie and dubbing it with sound would be able to deduce a wonderful story.In the era of feature films, who would have thought that George Lucas would have moved space to the cinema.Special effects technology is constantly evolving, and who would have thought that one day the use of 3D technology would bring people such a wonderful viewing experience.But Li He said that a movie is a movie, nothing else, and the core of a movie is always a wonderful story.Love, courage, loyalty, and many more are eternal themes.So although "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has changed directors, Li He still has confidence in this movie, because the story is wonderful and touching.People are emotional animals, and movies are the catalyst for this emotion, and the director is the one who uses this catalyst.There is nothing to say about the "Great Wall" movie, the biggest selling point is the special effects and the cute horse, but the cute horse didn't come.I guess I also know that the quality of this movie is actually average, so I just don't want to lose that face.
