In fact, Lin Xiao had guessed Kang Jie's intentions before he came, but he didn't expect it to be true.

For the main theme movie, Lin Xiao has actually considered it, and it can be said that the selection of materials is very important.

In the past, the main theme was often the works of the war years, but unfortunately, the times are a little far away, although it is often said that history should be remembered, but realistically speaking, the age is long, maybe for Lin Xiao and their parents, it will be easy to understand.

But for many of today's younger generations, that era was too far away for them.

In the past, Lin Xiao also thought that the characters in those main theme movies in the past were so tall and tall, they were completely touted, but in fact, if you let people of that era watch it, they will tell you, whether you believe it or not, but those did exist in that era.

This is the generation gap of the times, there is no way, for example, the fathers told you that they used to have enough food until the New Year, can you believe it?

For example, they said that they had to wait a long time to eat meat back then, and that buying meat was to cut fatty meat, not lean meat, can you believe it?

But that's the reality of that era, it's real.

And what about people nowadays? Eating meat at a time feels too meaty, and many people are even picky eaters to stew soup and only drink soup without meat.

This was completely unimaginable in the past.

The times are developing, the economy is developing, and in the same way, the concept is also changing.

Just like people at the beginning couldn't have imagined, now they don't need to bring money when they go out, and they can go around the world with a mobile phone.

At the beginning, I still wrote letters and correspondence, but now? No matter the ends of the earth, we can communicate with each other.

The same is true for the main theme movie, which also needs to keep pace with the times.

At this stage, if you go to shoot some of the main themes of the war years, of course you can shoot them, but you can't do a plot like in the past, where you still have to pay a D fee before you die.

Yes, don't think that this kind of plot is fake, but it was actually real in those days, but nowadays people will only take it as a joke.

Different times, different experiences, and different environments make people's thoughts and concepts completely different.

It was very normal to hand it over to the state back then, but why has it become a meme now?

"I don't have a problem, but is there any limit to the subject matter?" Lin Xiao asked.

Kang Jie shook his head and said: "There is no limit to this, of course, it is better to be modern, many people feel that the main theme movie we make does not consider the box office at all, and does not consider the audience's acceptance, but in fact, I am more willing than anyone else to see the main theme movie can get a high box office and get the public's affirmation, because only in this way is the real main theme movie." ”

"Yes, the problem now is that many viewers will subconsciously get bored when they see the three words of the main theme, and always feel that the main theme movie is not a good movie, which is why everyone changes color when they hear the main theme movie. Lin Xiao nodded.

Don't the officials want the main theme movie to be a big hit? Definitely not.

Only when a movie is a big hit can more people see it and make the audience more acceptable, and only when a movie can be a big hit can it prove that the audience begins to take the initiative to accept it, rather than being passively educated.

"So the selection of materials is very important, in fact, in my opinion, the first choice for the main theme movie is the selection of materials, but this involves some issues, for example, some professions make the main theme movie, so how to tell a wonderful story?"

"In the early years, I made a lot of professional theme films in China, which can indeed be said to be very good in that era, but why does it seem a little false in the eyes of later people?" Lin Xiao asked rhetorically.

Kang Jie nodded, and then said uncertainly: "Too perfect?"

Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "It's not entirely like this, those movies made back then, there were movies with workers' occupations, teachers' professions, policemen, soldiers, etc., but why do people feel fake? On the one hand, it is because in terms of roles, they are usually more complete, but the most important thing is that the gap between the times." ”

"The gap between the times?" Kang Jie wondered.

"Yes, there is a gap between the times, and another is that the original intention of shooting the movie is different, and the angle is different. ”

"In the past, the main theme movies, the original intention of shooting, many times was not for the market, and entertainment was not considered at all, but more about how to show the highlight moments of the protagonist, but everyone can't always be in such a state, heroes are also people, this is the main theme of Hollywood movies, usually do better, that is, they will first consider from the perspective of the audience. ”

"The biggest difference is that in our films, the protagonists are usually extremely special cases, which is a very contradictory point, since he himself is the most special, that is, he does not have universality, but the audience is a universal ordinary person, so it is difficult to interact between the two, a sense of spiritual interaction. ”

"For example, a cleaner, which the audience can usually touch, already has a subconscious positioning in their eyes, what should the cleaner be, but in our movie, this image may be completely different from the audience's subconscious positioning, which will make the audience directly play and feel fake!"

"Hollywood movies do better in this regard, none of their heroes are perfect, they must either have unhappy families, or have a rebellious child, which is a common phenomenon in their society, which will make the audience have a sense of substitution, feel that this is the same as the ordinary people in their impression, they all have such and such troubles, he may be strong in his profession, but in other aspects, he is very weak, such as he doesn't know how to get along with children, doesn't know how to educate children, etc. ”

Then, under such a premise, he still became a hero, which gives people an illusion, that is, ordinary people can also become heroes, of course he is still the most special, but he is a hero who comes out of ordinary people, not that he is the most unique existence in himself, and he is different from others. ”

"So, if I had to choose, let me shoot such a movie, I would be more inclined to imperfect heroes, civilian heroes, rather than exemplary heroes!" Lin Xiao looked at Kang Jie and said.

"Imperfect heroes, civilian heroes, exemplary heroes?"

"Yes, our past main theme movies are basically exemplary heroes, and what is created is that all of them are highlight moments, which leads to the fact that the characters do not look like 'normal people', and truly successful hero films, usually the movie will only highlight them a highlight moment, such as a sniper who is a hundred shots, he is calm and composed, invincible, but he also has shortcomings, that is, he has shot unarmed people, so can he still be regarded as a hero such a person?"

In Hollywood movies, it can be said that such flawed heroes abound, but in our main theme movies, heroes are not allowed to make mistakes! But it is impossible for him to be a human being without making mistakes, so it will make the audience feel more real. ”
