"Click!"

In the Memorial Hall of the Demon Capital Volunteer Army, Qi Yukun held a camera, looked at a framed note on the table, and gently pressed the shutter.

This is when cleaning the battlefield after the Battle of Changjin Lake, he found that all 125 soldiers of a certain company were frozen to death, and he found a note in the pocket of the clothes of a demon warrior named Song Amao, which was his last pen.

An ordinary piece of paper with a few lines of crooked traditional Chinese characters written on it, each of which is of different sizes, probably similar to that of a child who has just learned to write.

However, no matter how ugly the words were, no one laughed at them, and I just felt heavy in my heart.

"I love my relatives and the motherland, and I love my honor even more, I am a glorious volunteer soldier.

I will never yield to you, even if I freeze to death, I will stand proudly on my battlefield!"

After taking two photos, Li Qian handed the note back to the deputy director of the memorial hall with both hands.

"Thank you to the audience, when our crew shoots, we may need to borrow it. ”

"No problem, Director Li needs to contact us at any time, the purpose of the memorial hall is not only to commemorate the martyrs, but also to let the masses remember that period of history. ”

The curator carefully took the note, handed it to the assistant next to him, put it back in the original place of the exhibition column, and asked Li Qian very enthusiastically, "Director Li, this is the only memorial hall in the magic capital to resist rice and aid Korea, and there are still many things worth shooting, why don't I take you to see it again?"

Li Qian just wanted to refuse, but seeing the curator's eager and expectant expression on his face, he still smiled and nodded, "Then it's troublesome for the curator." ”

"Hey, no trouble, no trouble. ”

The curator nodded happily, walked in front, and took Li Qian and them to walk around the memorial hall.

In the memorial hall, the curator was very kind to ask Li Qian to shoot more things, and when he left, he also repeatedly asked Li Qian to show something in the movie.

......

In the past nearly a month, Li Qian took Qi Yukun and Su Lun to many places, including memorial halls, martyrs' cemeteries, military regions, hometowns of veterans who experienced the battles of Changjin Lake and Songgufeng, as well as the descendants of war reporters and Xinhua News Agency.

I learned about the details of the two battles, various terrain maps, enemy equipment, numbers, tactical comparisons, and so on.

I also went to other places by the way, and met Director Yang Jie and Teacher Six, Director Yang Jie was not very willing to reproduce the filming process of "Journey to the West", but Teacher Six was very cheerful and expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Some of the other historical events that were determined to be wanted before have basically passed in this month.

Teacher Li Xuejian was willing to appear again in "Born Out of the Sky", in the Great Gobi Desert, the sentence "Make a mushroom bomb and straighten your waist and pole", and did not think much about it.

Basically, the historical events involved can be determined, and the next thing is to see how to connect the love stories of the heroes and heroines.

After the preliminary preparations were completed, Li Qian planned to return to the capital.

However, before that, Li Qian also went to the crew of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" and watched the situation of the following Muye.

When they arrived, they were filming the scene where the actor took his son to sleep in the subway bathroom.

The toilet built in the studio, really go to the toilet to shoot, and it is time to run back and forth, anyway, it is just a toilet, and there is no difference between setting up the scene and the real toilet.

"Click! rest for a quarter of an hour. ”

It happened that this had not passed, and Wen Muye saw Li Qian and them coming, and he also shouted to stop and let the script rest for a while.

He walked over from behind the monitor to say hello, "Boss, Lao Qi, Su Lun, why are you here?"

Li Qian patted Wen Muye's arm and said with a smile, "Find some information at the Demon Capital Volunteer Army Memorial Hall, and come and see by the way, how is it going well?"

"It's almost, and it should be finished in half a month. Wen Muye said with some excitement, after a year, his debut feature film is finally about to be completed.

"Then I will leave you the summer schedule for August, National Day, Double Eleven, Chinese New Year, and Spring Festival have all been arranged. Li Qian nodded.

"No problem!" Wen Muye confidently agreed, he was more nervous than anyone else about the first movie, and naturally he had studied the schedule.

At the beginning of August, there were no opponents, Huang Xiaoming and his wife ****** "A Stormy Affair", Fan Binbin's comedy love "One Night Surprise", and the action movie "Fierce War", that is, there will be a Hollywood blockbuster "Jurassic Park" at the end of the month, but more than half a month apart.

"Take your time, don't deliberately rush to work, there is still time, don't rush. Li Qian admonished.

"I understand. "Bunmakno Road.

"I said Lao Wen, the plot of you sleeping in the toilet of the subway station is a bit too far-fetched, KFC is open 24 hours a day, you can sleep inside, but it really doesn't work at the bank ATM. Qi Yukun on the side talked about the scene he was filming.

Su Lun rolled his eyes, "I said Lao Qi, you mean a little bit of a bar, KFC, ATMs, and toilets can all sleep, and choosing where to go is the matter of the characters in the movie, and it's not that you can't sleep." ”

Qi Yukun explained, "I didn't mean that, after all, there are a lot of people in the subway at night, especially on popular lines, and there must be people who go to the toilet, so the choice of roles is not so reasonable." ”

"I know. ”

Wen Muye smiled, "I also thought about this problem, so I added another plot later, the male protagonist with a child who was at the bank ATM, and as a result, he met someone coming in three times in a row to withdraw money, and the person who withdrew the money was startled, and then he came to the subway bathroom instead."

He thought about many places to spend the night, but he encountered problems, and the subway toilet was a last resort, and it was one of the few last resorts, so even when someone knocked on the door, or even kicked the door, he did not leave the same way as at the bank ATM.

Instead, he held the door of the bathroom with his feet, abandoning his dignity to maintain the last place where he could shelter their father and son from the wind and rain, for he had nowhere to go. ”

"Well, that's a lot more reasonable. Qi Yukun nodded, agreeing with Wen Muye's idea.

Li Qian shook his head, "There is nothing unreasonable about this matter, it is essentially an inspirational chicken soup movie, do a good job in the most important aspects of inspiration and chicken soup, and the other details are for the service of these two places, and no movie can be without a little flaw." ”

The word reasonable can be seen in many film and television dramas and evaluations, but whether it is reasonable or not depends mainly on how the movie is made.

After the movie is made, the audience will ignore some unreasonable places, and there will only be a few viewers who pick out the details to discuss.

If the movie is not filmed well, no matter how reasonable the plot is, it will be scolded.

Moreover, there is no standard for reasonableness, if it is realistic...... The reality itself is very absurd, and many things are unreasonable in the perception of normal people, but they still happen.

After chatting for a while, Bunmuno continued to shoot.

This scene is basically the climax of tears in the movie.

Filming officially started, toilet paper was spread on the floor of the bathroom, Deng Chao locked the door, and sat near the door, with his sleeping five-year-old son in his arms.

Not long after, someone seemed to be pushing the door outside, and after it couldn't be opened, there was a rush knock on the door.

When I was about to go to the toilet, the bathroom was closed, so I could see what the mood would be, whenever these rude knocks sounded, Deng Chao would hug his son tightly, afraid that he would be awakened.

At the same time, he cautiously stretched out his foot to resist the door, and hugged his son in his arms who seemed to have woken up in fear, and he silently shed a tear when he had always been strong.

But soon, the tears disappeared in his clothes, and at this time, he hugged his son tighter, and as the knocking on the door became more and more intense, it turned into a slap, Deng Chao tightly covered his son's ears, leaned against the wall and tears kept flowing, shaking his head slightly in pain.

There was a silent picture, only the sound of violent tapping outside.

At night, there was a loud knock at the door, and the son could not fully sleep even with his father's arms, but he did not complain about anything.

In the arms of Deng Chao, he seemed to sleep soundly, with his father who loved him, no matter where he was, it was home. When his father hugged him tightly, those noisy knocks on the door also seemed to be "happiness" knocking on the door.

......

After staying in the crew for a while, Li Qian flew back to the capital, asked Qi Yukun and Su Lun to go back and rest for two days, and Li Qian himself had to rest for two days, and then began to sort out the information collected during this time, and then connected them together and began to write the script.

However, before that, Li Qian had to go and meet Han Sanping.

It's also strange to say, in the past year or two, there has been a little wind and grass, and Han Sanping has to look for him.

Li Qian also knows why he is looking for himself, it is nothing more than that his itinerary has been exposed several times during this time, which has led to speculation on the Internet that he is going to make a war movie about resisting rice and aiding Korea.

Just like that, he had to come out on a special trip, Li Qian leaned on the sofa angrily, "Han Dong, what do you have to tell me in this busy schedule?"

Han Sanping didn't care about Li Qian's tone, and was also familiar with Li Qian's style of doing things, so he asked directly, "Do you want to make a film about resisting rice and aiding Korea?"

"No, didn't you talk about romance movies before. Li Qian shrugged.

"That's a war romance, right?"

"It's not, it's just a simple romance movie. ”

Han Sanping stared at Li Qian, and said with a look of don't lie to me, "Then what are you doing collecting information about the Northern Stick War everywhere this month?"

"Han Dong, last month, I said to tell you the general content of the new film, but you don't want to hear it, and now you doubt me. Li Qian smiled bitterly, looking like you slandered Zhongliang, and almost sighed.

Han Sanping directly ignored Li Qian's performance, and said with a serious face, "This is not a joke, you tell me the general content." ”

That's okay, what else can you do, Li Qian told Han Sanping about the general plot.

"That's it?" Han Sanping was stunned, he is also a director, so he can naturally distinguish the brilliance of Li Qian's idea, which is a new Chinese history mixed with love for the ages.

It's just that I didn't expect Li Qian to go out and work for a month, with great fanfare, just for the scenes that add up to less than ten minutes.

"That's it, it's just two local battles, although there aren't many scenes, but it's still a little more careful. Li Qian said.

"Hi... You said it earlier. Han Sanping shook his head.

“.......”

Li Qian was speechless, I was going to say it a long time ago, but you didn't listen!

"That's no problem, but we still have to pay attention to one thing, this year has just been changed, and the above still hopes to live in peace with Mi Lijian, don't overly smear and belittle Mi Lijian's army. Han Sanping advised.

"Understood, understood. ”

Li Qian feels very boring, sometimes it is clear that the leaders don't care about this kind of thing at all, just a movie, and it doesn't blow up the White House, can it affect the peace between the two countries?

It's the people below, who have nothing to do all day long, and they have to interfere when they are big.

After dealing with Han Sanping casually, Li Qian went home to rest, recuperate and prepare to write the script.

.......

During this time, although the film market is a little flat, there are still many new films released.

The popular "Ip Man: The Ultimate Battle" is played by Huang Qiusheng as the elderly Ip Man.

This film is very boring and the general audience doesn't like it, but in some more literary audiences, it has been well received, thinking that it is much better than Donnie's single version of Ip Man.

A life-like Ip Man, a flesh-and-blood Ip Man, a dull life, the powerlessness of individual heroes in the general situation, and the loneliness of the master.

Donnie Yen is a commercial Ip Man, Liang Chaowei is a literary version of Ip Man, and this is the biographical version of Ip Man.

However, the filming was so bland that it completely abandoned the audience, and as a result, the title of the film was also named Ultimate Battle.

Typical is unwilling to cater to the audience and wants to make money.

How can there be such a good thing in the world, think beautifully!

The market will teach them how to behave, 7 million in the first week, 2 million in the second week, and 500,000 in the third week.

Then Johnny To's "Drug War" was released, and his film style has always been unpopular with domestic audiences, with a good reputation but no box office.

However, the box office is good this time, and the box office has exceeded 100 million.

The best thing to portray is the villain Gu Tianle, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, has no benevolence and morality, but is calm and restrained, and always makes the most correct decisions.

The overall style is rough, violent, and sharp, and the ending is even rarer, and the protagonist is basically dying, still in front of a group of elementary school students.

Coupled with the metaphor of the relationship between the mainland and Xiangjiang that many people interpret, it is a rare mainland police film.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Wei's youth film "To Our Dying Youth", which was released at the end of April, swept the mainland film market.

The biggest actor in this is just Han Geng, and all the actors have not been famous for the first time Zhao Weigao's film, which sold 150 million in 3 days, nearly 500 million in 10 days, and the total box office exceeded 700 million, ranking among the top five in Chinese film history!

The actor's director-turned-director's debut, a niche youth theme, sold 700 million, although it was pressed by the 750 million of "Iron Man 3" released at the same time, but it still shocked the entire film industry.

Immediately after June, Guo Jinming, who is also a rookie director and a director from a writer, made his debut "Little Times", which is also a youth romance film, and it hit the box office again.

270 million in 4 days, this opening box office is even far more than "To Youth", and not much worse than "Journey to the West".

Two rookie directors who have crossed the line, two niche movies, and sold a large number of movies with famous directors, superstars, and big investments, which are unattainable.

There are no famous directors, no superstars, no big investment, niche classification, such two subversive movies, the high box office that everyone expected, made the entire film industry lose its voice.
