967. Do you have any misunderstandings about the movie?
Although the project "My Motherland and Me" will not be a super big production, in fact, the addition of the seven major directors can be said to be a super hot film!
At least, next year's National Day holiday, there will be almost no company that is blind and dares to face the movie "Hard-stealing"!
Originally, Wang Yifan thought that the main theme movie "My Motherland and Me" was divided into seven short stories, so he didn't need to do anything more by himself.
But who knew, soon, he realized that he was wrong!
"My Motherland and Me" focuses on stories of various historical moments since the founding of China.
Wang Yifan had no idea about the script, so the initial arrangement was that this kind of story was that Li Xinghua felt that Huaying had the most complete talents and information in this area, so it was naturally done by Huaying.
The script of the main theme movie is also a story about historical moments.
It seems very simple.
In this regard, there are not too many talents in official companies such as Huaying.
So, soon, the screenwriter team of Huaying took out the first draft of "My Motherland and Me"!
After all, this movie is extraordinary, so the seven directors including Wang Yifan were invited to read the script together.
After the founding of China for so many years, there are naturally many historical moments worth remembering.
Li Xinghua took a stack of scripts and sent them one by one!
"Let's take a look first. This is the first draft that our Huaying gathered together with 18 old, middle-aged and young screenwriters. Of course, because it is just the first draft, there are definitely shortcomings. You are all experts, so give more suggestions!" Although such a movie is co-directed by several major directors, in fact, this movie is definitely dominated by Huaying.
Li Xinghua naturally attaches great importance to this video.
Therefore, the screenwriter team, not to mention that everyone is the best, but at least, in the main theme movies, these people are all experienced!
"The screenwriter team wrote a total of ten stories. Let's take a look at them separately!" Li Xinghua said with a smile while distributing the script to everyone.
Wang Yifan took the script and started reading it curiously.
The title of the script is "Torchbearer", which should be a story about the Olympics.
Although the theme of the story about the Olympics in previous lives is different, Wang Yifan didn't care too much.
As long as it is a story related to the moments of history, it may not necessarily be the same.
As long as the story is exciting enough, it'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 disabled torchbearer passing on the torch.
The content of the story revolves around this.
Su Chen saved a child because of his bravery, but he was hit by a car that was speeding towards him. One leg was cut off on the spot. Even though he finally saved his life, he became a disabled person.
He was recommended as an Olympic torchbearer.
For this reason, he has been working hard to prepare and practice in a wheelchair every day.
But the day before he was about to pass the torch, he had a high fever.
He knew that if he was discovered in his situation, he would be very likely to have to replace him.
For this reason, he kept insisting 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, Wang Yifan was stunned by the whole story!
Because he didn't understand at all, what exactly was going to tell this story?
Su Chen insists on completing the torch relay while he is sick?
Main theme? To be honest, where is this main theme?
Wang Yifan was a little confused!
In fact, not only Wang Yifan was confused, but also others were even more confused.
That's Cao Meng!
The script he got was a script for the return of Hong Kong Island, and the script was called "Return"!
The content caught Cao Meng off guard!
The content of "Return" is that there is no content!
Yes, nothing!
Because this script is just a documentary!
It recorded the occupation of Hong Kong Island, then the difficult negotiations, finally the return on time, etc.
Cao Meng was really confused!
Is this a movie good? What do you think of as a documentary?
The other directors actually all frowned.
"Everyone tell me." Li Xinghua also saw that everyone's reaction was reflected, and he was also a little shocked.
"Ahem, I don't understand, we are a movie, why do we have to come in a whole documentary?" Cao Meng said the first.
Li Xinghua looked at a middle-aged man in the screenwriter team.
"Is there anything wrong with the documentary? Don't you think it's a breakthrough? And it can show the audience the unknown stories of the return of Hong Kong Island..."
Cao Meng opened his mouth, speechless!
He didn't know what to say!
"Who wrote the story of "Torchbearer"?" Wang Yifan also raised the manuscript in his hand and asked.
This time, a screenwriter who is older than a senior in the grade raised his hand.
"I especially want to know, what exactly do you want to express in this story?"
"This is a real story, I think it is very representative, so I wrote it out. Su Chen was disabled because of his bravery. He was recommended to be a torchbearer, but he suddenly had a high fever on the eve of the torch relay. In the end, he insisted on completing the torch relay, showing his pride and pride in the Olympics and the identity of torchbearer... In the end, after handing over the torch, he was unconscious, which highlighted his patriotic will to that moment..."
Wang Yifan was completely confused!
Everyone else was confused!
Is this possible?
"I have a suggestion!" Cao Meng suddenly spoke as more and more directors raised questions and everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with the existing script.
"Director Cao, you say!" Li Xinghua is not a fool either. He actually knew that there were problems with these script stories, but he subconsciously thought that it was normal for a problem with the first draft.
But I didn't expect that these directors reacted so much!
It also made him a little startled.
Of course, there is another point in fact, that is, in fact, several of the members of the screenwriter team recruited were very experienced, so even Li Xinghua felt like he was shooting himself in the foot!
"Actually, these stories are written with ideas, but we are a movie, and this idea was proposed by Director Wang Yifan. I think there is no need to go far and wide. You should know that what Director Wang is most admired is not the director's level, but his screenwriter level. I think it is possible that Director Wang can lead the writing of this script. What do you think?"
"I agree, I should have made those who are capable of working harder!"
Chapter completed!
