2019 is a year of blockbuster films, starting from the Spring Festival, "The Wandering Earth" and "Crazy Alien" have won one after another.There are many more to come, such as Avengers 4: Endgame, Gravity, The Matrix: Reloaded, and many more.At this moment, Li He received an unexpected invitation, and "Captain Huaxia", which was originally scheduled to be released on the National Day, invited him to participate in the test screening.This year's National Day is a special day, after all, it is an anniversary, so the gift films are released.Among them, the most concerned is undoubtedly "My Motherland and Me", which tells seven stories in the form of a unit, and invited seven directors to shoot, with Chen Kaige as the chief director.Originally, last year, China Film planned to invite Li He to shoot one of the units, and asked him if he would like to be the chief director.Li He replied: "It's okay to shoot one of the units, but I don't have time to be the chief director." ”Unexpectedly, after Chen Kaige heard about it, he said to Han Sanye: "I heard that Li He refused the position of chief director, and I don't care about this position, but since he is so busy, just don't bother him, I will invite another director." ”As soon as Han Sanye heard the reason, you don't have time to shoot a tribute film to the country, what do you want to do?
So he asked Chen Kaige: "Then who do we invite?"
”Perhaps worried that the slander just now would cause Li He's misunderstanding and be unfavorable to himself, Chen Kaige recommended Chen Meizhou, who is also a subsidiary of DreamWorks Studio.Han Sanye agreed after several considerations, Chen Meizhou was not a nameless director at this time, after several hits of the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, he also became a hot director at this time, but he had a little doubt, he had never served as a film director.But it doesn't matter, there is also Li He, so I found Li He to learn from it.Li He gave Chen Meizhou a suggestion, close to the characters in life, combined with the characters' small stories to describe the country's strength.Chen Meizhou finally chose the story of the first self-employed and 10,000 yuan households born since the reopening, and created a story based on them.After reading the script, Li He felt that this script was very expansive, but after all, the space was limited, so he had to do it.Now that "My Motherland and Me" has been completed, and in the post-production stage, the National Day file can attract the attention of many audiences just with that long list.Unlike "Captain Huaxia", it seems that except for Zhang Hanqian who has appeal in movies, the rest is Li Qin's appeal, and the other leading actors have never proven themselves in the film market."
Hezai, thank you for coming, you can give us some advice, that's what we can't ask for."
When Liu Weiqiang saw Li He, he said enthusiastically."
Captain Huaxia" was produced by Bona Films, and Li He was also invited by Yu Dong to come."
You are too polite, Director Liu, how can I give you any guidance?
Let's improve each other!
”Li He said with a smile."
Let's go in first!
Mr.
Yu was already waiting inside. ”"Okay, you invite ...... first" Entering Bona Films, Li He was immediately congratulated by many senior executives of Bona Films, congratulating him on his good results in the Oscars."
Director Li He, I've always wanted to see you, but I never had the chance, and I finally met today."
Yu Dong smiled enthusiastically., you saw it last time!
Li He complained in his heart.However, he still smiled on the surface: "Thank you for inviting me to watch such an excellent film in advance." ”"You're welcome, we're hoping for you to guide you, no more nonsense, let's get started!""
OK, let's start ...... directly" "Captain Huaxia" is not much different from the previous life, but it is very outstanding in the production of special effects for the film, influenced by Li He, and the film is shot with the latest camera developed by the imaging technology company.The imaging technology company has grown rapidly over the years, and has received investment from Qingfeng Group, and has grown rapidly to become a world-class camera manufacturer.Although there are still some gaps in technology and foreign companies, the local directors represented by Li He support domestic products, which makes the cameras of imaging technology companies more and more widely used.On the other hand, the special effects part of "Captain Huaxia" is the responsibility of the top industrial light and magic studio in China, and the work results of this studio can only be described as the best.In short, the film is generally in line with Li He's expectations for it, and the box office is expected to be similar to the previous life."
How does it feel?"
After watching the movie, Yu Dong asked, and Liu Weiqiang next to him also looked at him nervously.This is the most nervous time that Liu Weiqiang has directed many films, he is a native of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Island movies are in decline, and he has gone north to make a living like many other Hong Kong Island directors.After several failures, Liu Weiqiang understood that "Captain Huaxia" was his last chance.Li He didn't hide his secrets, and said bluntly: "The overall completion of the film is very high, and the quality is acceptable, but there are still some hard flaws." ”"You say, we accept it with humility."
Liu Weiqiang looked deaf.There is no way, Li He is now recognized as the first commercial director of Chinese-language films, but all his films are sold in the global market, and he can better grasp the main points of this one."
Then I'll just say a few words," Li He opened the opportunity points he recorded and explained: "The first is the problem of the film's script, the real event itself only takes 42 minutes from take-off to alternate landing, and the development of the film clearly reflects the screenwriter's poor skills, using very Chinese-style sensationalism and news network face-painted supporting characters to try to piece together time."
Its practical documentary means to restore the event itself can be shocking enough, but to add a spectacle design that is completely unscientific and common sense such as thunderstorms is completely adding to the painting, not to mention Guan Xiaotong's branch line that can be cut every second.The realism of the original events has been weakened and has become a screenwriter-led genre film. ”Yu Yongyong, the screenwriter of "Captain Huaxia", sat in the back and blushed, and immediately wanted to turn his face, but was stopped by the people around him.Li Hyuk is not only a director, but his skills as a screenwriter are also excellent.Li He didn't notice the movement behind him, and continued: "The other is the professionalism of the film, I don't know if the crew invited civil aviation experts to be consultants, or if they did, they didn't listen to people's opinions.Movies often ignore some logical issues for the sake of so-called artistic expression, but the most basic common sense should not be ignored, and the film makes a lot of common problems, which really shouldn't be.Other problems are actually okay, and the general audience can't see it, so it's not a big problem. ”Liu Weiqiang's face was not very good after hearing this, but he still forced a smile and said: "Thank you Director Li He for the advice you have provided us, there will be a period of time in the future, I will strive to improve it again." ”Thanks to the almighty Douban netizens, Li He thought in his heart.Hearing Liu Weiqiang say this, he hurriedly comforted: "In my opinion, you don't have to worry too much, the film is still very competitive in the National Day schedule." ”"Then thanks to you, I hope to get a good result" I'm Director Li
