Chapter 217: The Revival of Domestic Science Fiction
"Boss, this script is kind of interesting. ”
After reading the script on the side, Guo Fan, whose neck was a little sore, spoke about the script with great interest.
"This film has a bit of an Inception feeling. Su Lun's eyes were also full of surprise.
The script written by Li Qian himself is still for Tong Liya, and it must be no worse.
However, this script is even more exciting than they imagined.
The story is actually not very complicated, although it is sci-fi love, but the main characters are the male and female protagonists.
The plot is very simple, it is the hero and heroine, this couple is the same as ordinary couples, their days are also spent in sweetness and quarrels.
However, on the eve of Valentine's Day, when the male protagonist carefully prepared a gift and apologized for finding the heroine for a quarrel not long ago, he was surprised to find that the heroine didn't remember him at all.
It turns out that the impulsive heroine can't stand the pain of the quarrel between the two, and goes to a hospital that can erase human memories and erase all the memories about the male protagonist.
The male protagonist can't forgive the heroine for her willfulness and can't bear the pain of losing her, so he also deletes his memories related to his girlfriend.
When it comes to deleting memories, the male protagonist wanders through his own memories, and he finds that the time spent with the heroine, whether painful or sweet, is precious, and he does not want to forget the woman he loves deeply.
However, once the program is activated, it cannot be reversed, and the male protagonist desperately uses various ways to pull the heroine in the long river of memories to escape, hide in areas that will not be found by the program, and even hide in his childhood that he is most reluctant to recall, overcoming cowardice and embarrassment, simply because he does not want to forget her mood overrides all and overcomes all the weaknesses of human nature.
But this can't stop the program from running.,The memory is fading little by little.,Until the long river of memory.,The hero came to the time of the first encounter with the heroine.,On the beach.,The next second he's going to completely lose all memories of the heroine.。
Of course, this is not the end, after clearing the memory of the heroine, when the male protagonist was preparing for a business trip at the train station, he heard the announcement that the train to Qinhuangdao was about to leave, and he bought a ticket and rushed to the car.
On the train, I met the heroine who was also sent to Qinhuangdao, two couples who once loved each other deeply, and neither of them had any memories of each other.
The two went to the beach in Beidaihe, Qinhuang Island, where they first met.
The memory can be erased, but after the second first encounter, we are together again.
followed by sweet love, the sweet period has not yet passed, and it is not yet time to quarrel at every turn.
However, one of the nurses who operated on them sent them a recording file of why they wanted to erase their memories and babbled about each other's shortcomings before the operation.
Both of them know the truth, and they know that if they continue to date, they will repeat the same mistakes after getting along for a long time.
The plot is very simple, but the script does not develop like this, and the overall narrative is similar to "Inception", so that Su Lun and Guo Fan did not straighten out the plot when they read the script for the first time.
"But boss, why doesn't there be an ending?"
watched it twice, and in the end, it ended in the dialogue between the hero and heroine pretending to be free and easy in the corridor.
Li Qian smiled, "The ending is nothing more than three, relatively good, the two don't care if they will be bored with each other in some places in the future, continue to be together, or open-ended, let the audience guess, and the two break up."
Or you can make it darker, as soon as the camera turns, the old heroine comes to delete the memory of the male protagonist again, and then the audience realizes that they have been here dozens of times in the past few decades. ”
"Shhh
Guo Fan couldn't help but gasp, "If you really do this dark ending, you will probably be scolded miserably." ”
Romance is not another genre, even if it has a tragic ending, it must be moving.
Those Korean dramas with dead heroines, some romance films where the male and female protagonists die one, even if it is a parting of life and death in the end, it is all very touching to people, and they will not scold after crying.
But the dark ending that Li Qian said is really desperate love.
Audiences who are deeper in the play, young men and women, especially girls who are a little more emotional, are estimated to have a fear of love.
After falling in love for a while, I discovered each other's shortcomings and couldn't bear to break up.
Then both of them went to clear each other's memories, and after clearing them, they were together because of fate, but after getting along for a while, they couldn't bear each other's shortcomings and cleared their memories again.
Year after year, the cycle of acquaintance, acquaintance, love, and boredom is repeated again and again.
Decades have passed, and the two are dying, and they no longer know how to repeat this process dozens of times.
Dozens of times in love, but they haven't been able to come together, who will believe in love?
This directly shattered all the audience's beautiful fantasies about love.
Not only was it broken, but it was also stepped on a few times.
However, Su Lun had a different opinion, and said with interest, "I think that the ending of the dark direction is in line with real love, isn't this the reality, how many lovers have parted ways for various reasons." ”
"Reality is reality, but what the audience wants to see is not reality. ”
Li Qian shook his head, "And there are a lot of beautiful loves in reality, most of what the audience wants to see is the good side, and no one wants to feel uncomfortable after watching the movie." ”
Tragedy has to be touching to be a hit.
As for whether it's true or not, if you consider this before making a movie, there is a high probability that it will hit the street.
Those underground directors filmed, many of the dark sides of the bottom of society, are also real, can you say that they are fake?
But society also has a true, good, and beautiful side, so why do they have to shoot the bad side if they want to be real?
The good side is also real, why do some people just not shoot?
It's just that Westerners like to look at the dark, ignorant, and backward side of their country, and they want to cater to the Western market.
The dark ending is not good, so there is only an open-ended ending and a happy ending to choose for yourself.
Su Lun was full of slander in his heart, and said that the ending should be arranged by himself, and this frame has been drawn, how else can it be arranged.
However, she just thinks about the ending of the dark direction, and this shooting may become a classic, but it is estimated that she will be scolded by the audience.
"That's okay, Su Lun, you take a break for a while, and then go to make up for the ending, casting, writing storyboards, and don't be in a hurry, the day of November 11th is quite auspicious, and it will be released on Double 11 this year. ”
"Boss, then I'll improve the script first, and then start preparing and casting. ”
Su Lun nodded, she had just finished "Living Together in Time and Space", as the first female director of the 100 million yuan club in China, she was busy to death.
"By the way, boss, what kind of genre is your post-apocalyptic sci-fi film, and what are you talking about?" Guo Fan asked again.
has time to get a script for Su Lun, maybe his own script has already been written, and it is still a science fiction film, Guo Fan has always been curious.
"Time Administration" and this sci-fi romance are so novel in their ideas, then Li Qian's own film may be even more exciting.
"The script hasn't been started yet, so take a two-day break and take a break. Li Qian shook his head.
Come on, it's okay not to say it.
Guo Fan didn't continue to ask, he couldn't ask, he didn't know Li Qian yet.
If he were a woman, maybe he could be coquettish or something, but unfortunately he wasn't.
"Then boss, you help me consult, the ending of "Time Authority", no matter how I think about it, it's not enough to burn, the front is a climax from the beginning to the end, presumptuous, rebellious, breaking the old rules, and no matter how it is arranged in the back, it feels like a breath of air, and the climax can't come up. ”
"Do your own thing, why don't you look for my staff when you enter the cave room, think about it slowly, good things are grinding. ”
Just kidding, isn't it stupid to find yourself a job.
ignored them, and went to the computer room to see Xu Zheng, who was doing the post-production of "People in Embarrassment".
The editing is almost finished, and there is no trouble with color grading and soundtrack.
Of course, it is impossible for Xu Zheng to edit by himself, after all, he is not a professional, there are professional editors, professionals from the directing department of the Film Academy.
But like 90 percent of directors, he likes to intervene in post-production, and as soon as he opens the door, he is heard arguing with an editor who is two years younger than him.
Anyway, the editing is almost finished, and I will watch it again in two days, Li Qian didn't bother him, and went home to rest.
At this time, the celebration party had just ended for less than a few hours, but the news about Li Qian's new film had already spread on the Internet.
"Exclusive revelations, Li Qian's new film has been confirmed and will return to science fiction films, and the new film genre is apocalyptic science fiction!"
"At noon today, at the celebration conference of "Perfect World", Li Qian personally announced that he would shoot a sci-fi blockbuster in the apocalypse, bringing the audience an unparalleled audio-visual feast!"
"Apocalyptic science fiction, the end of the world created by the director of Huaguo, curious about how Li Qian will destroy the world!"
......
The director with a box office of 400 million, Li Qian was in the limelight at this time, and the news of announcing the new movie genre immediately overshadowed the limelight of several blockbusters that were still being released.
The Internet is developing rapidly, and at night, almost all websites and forums with a large amount of traffic can see the news of discussing Li Qian's new film.
In the genre of science fiction, no matter who shoots it, the audience's first reaction will definitely be skeptical.
But Li Qian has the classic science fiction of "Moon" in front of him, even if it is a low-cost science fiction, it is enough to make people believe that he can make a good science fiction film.
In fact, for domestic sci-fi films, domestic audiences really don't have too strict requirements.
The sci-fi film "Cyborg" starring Sun Li released in the summer sold more than 50 million at the box office.
This time it's not a sci-fi gimmick, at least there are robots in it, which is a sci-fi film.
The plot is probably for the country to develop a new type of robot to replace the police to perform dangerous tasks, and the robot and the heroine fall in love.
There is nothing strange about the love between man and machine, as long as it is the protagonist, regardless of gender
, species, they can all be in love, otherwise why would they be the protagonists.
Of course, this is not just a romance movie, but also a renegade robot, chanting the banner of freedom, and condemning the robot protagonist who is a police officer to be a human eagle dog.
Anyway, it's a nonsensical spoof film, and it's okay to say it's a bad movie.
It's just such a bad movie, and it's also on the news network.
"Perfect World" has never been on it alone, but as a New Year's topic, it has appeared with other movies.
There is no way, the background is not enough, and in addition to Jiangning Optoelectronics, the influence of several major companies is only limited to this province.
Moreover, Li Qian has no official background, and he has not set aside public relations fees in this regard.
"Cyborg" has the investment of the Magic Shadow Group, the New Film Association, and the Western Film Studio, don't look at the decline of the Western Film Studio, it is also half of the domestic film industry in the eighties and nineties, and the relationship is very hard.
There is also Jia Leting, who is not bad for money, Boss Jia has just entered the film industry, and he can give up money.
This kind of spoof bad movie can sell more than 50 million, you can imagine how tolerant the domestic audience is of science fiction films.
"Moon" has proved that Li Qian can make science fiction films, and then make science fiction films, the audience is naturally trustworthy.
Not only some science fiction film lovers, but almost all fans are looking forward to Li Qian making a real science fiction blockbuster.
"I'll go, the apocalyptic sci-fi film won't be the same genre as "2012", can Li Qian do it?"
"I thought Li Qian would continue the realistic theme of "Perfect World", although the shooting was very good, and the full score was not too much, but I still wanted to see films with novel and creative brains. ”
"Apocalyptic science fiction, it should be about the end of the world, alien invasion or the destruction of the earth?"
"No matter what, this must be a big production, I guess it won't be released this year. ”
"I can't see Li Qian's movie this year, even if it's a fast gunman, a big production can't be done in a year. ”
"Tangled, I want to watch blockbusters again, and I want to see Li Qian's films soon. ”
"Li Qian's film is out this year, and I can look forward to Ma Xiaogang's two films, as well as Ning Hao's film, Jiang Wen's new film is also looking forward to Fa Ge and Ge Wei, and I look forward to Cheng Kaige's "Zhao's Orphan". ”
"There aren't many movies to watch all year round, and now there are more movies released every month, but there are too many bad movies, these directors and screenwriters really don't know what they have in their heads, it's just insulting my eyes, watching too much really affects my IQ. ”
"It's late, it's late, I look forward to Li Qian making our own sci-fi blockbuster and reviving domestic sci-fi films!"
"Let's wash and sleep, and revive domestic science fiction, when the time comes, a bunch of bad movies will come out and scare you to death. ”
"If Li Qian's sci-fi blockbuster succeeds, there will definitely be followers, but maybe there will be one or two high-quality films, there are more people shooting, and there will be hope for domestic sci-fi films soon. ”
......
PS: This sci-fi romance film is "Warm and Warm with Light", the name is quite persuasive, but it is a classic.
IMBD Top 10 Science Fiction in Film History, one of the 25 classics in the 25th anniversary review, and the best movie of the year in 2004.
This is really too niche, I don't seem to have seen it written in that entertainment article, so I won't let the protagonist shoot it.
