Chapter 345: No Cuts
The little protagonist MiG's love for music, as well as the musical dream in his bones, turned out to come from his great-great-grandfather, the singer Dracus, which is engraved in his blood.
So the little protagonist MiG, who seems to have been guided, decides to steal the guitar used by his great-great-grandfather to participate in the competition, but after finally getting the guitar and playing the first note, he suddenly travels to the world of the undead.
The cartoon can be called a sudden change in the style of painting here, and suddenly the protagonist MiG's pursuit of music dreams has changed into a horror painting style that is almost completely incompatible with the theme of the movie.
There were "dead people" everywhere, moving skeletons and skeletons, and a skull even flew directly into MiG's arms.
At this time, all the auditors in the entire theater, plus the staff, were all shocked, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
"This? What's going on? Isn't it about dreaming? Why did so many skeletal characters pop out all of a sudden? ”
"Cartoons are a type of movie for children, what is Li Mu doing? It's just a mess! ”
"Let's not talk about children, even if it's me, I was shocked when I suddenly saw so many skeleton characters coming out at once."
"That's!"
"Doesn't Li Mu know that ghosts and dead people are absolute taboos in film censorship? With an investment of $150 million, is Li Mu really afraid that his movie won't pass the trial? ”
"It's messed up, it's all messed up!"
Guo Sihong, who just thought that he could finally surprise his granddaughter this time, will also be full of question marks.
Li Mu has also been making movies for more than ten years, it is impossible for him not to know that there must be no ghosts in Chinese movies, which has long been conventional, and it is estimated that Xiao Ge's so-called entry into the world of the dead is a dream of his?
"But even if this is the case, a large number of skeleton characters are still very anachronistic, and the terrifying style of painting is also a taboo in the review of Chinese films, especially if the film type is still an animated film for minors, if nothing else, this film is likely to be deleted on a large scale, otherwise, how could the bureau give this kind of film a release?
Could it be that Li Mu deliberately set the background of the story in Mexico, just in case the domestic review fails, he will go directly to the foreign release to release it?
"Most likely, after all, the investment in this movie is as high as 150 million US dollars, even if Li Mu is rich, it is impossible to throw it away."
"It is also very taboo for a general film to go abroad for awards without passing the review, and it is still relatively rare for a domestic film to be released abroad without passing the review, and the background of the story is completely foreign."
If it were replaced by an ordinary director, the film would definitely not pass the review in this case, but Li Mu's situation is a bit special, that is, his score in cultural output is too high, even a little outrageous.
Therefore, most of Li Mu's movies are not suitable for general review logic.
From this point of view, most of this "Dream Travel" can still pass the review, but large-scale deletion and modification currently seems to be impossible to avoid no matter what.
The play continued, and everyone continued to watch with extremely mixed feelings.
In reality, there are people who offer pictures of the dead on the altar, and the dead can pass through the level to reunite with the living.
Death is not the end, being forgotten is.
The Disappearing Pigskin Brother.
What is very amazing is that in the middle of the film, everyone on the scene has gradually forgotten the entanglement at the beginning, but is fully integrated into the plot of the film.
The average age of these auditors is more than 60 years old, and once people get older, they will instinctively be more afraid of death, and they will be more taboo to mention related topics, and usually try not to think about these issues as much as possible, but now "Dream Travel" is forcing everyone to think about this thing that everyone will instinctively avoid.
Especially the basic setting of the film that death is not the end, but being forgotten is the basic setting of the film, which shocked everyone's hearts, and suddenly felt that this animated movie for children was quite thought-provoking.
Then, the truth that Héctor was MiG's real great-great-grandfather was finally revealed, and the 18 reviewers were surprised and felt reasonable.
When Hector recalled singing to his daughter Coco before his death, the heartwarming image seemed to give the auditors in the theater a heavy blow to the chest.
By the time MiG, who has returned from the world of the dead, picks up his guitar and hurries home, it is played that he wants to awaken his great-grandmother's memory of Héctor, otherwise Héctor will disappear completely in the world of the dead, and the theater is already silent.
MiG tried his best, but Grandma Great-grandma still didn't have any reaction, and everyone in the theater, including Guo Sihong, was hanging in their hearts at this time, and they began to worry that Li Mu would give everyone a tragic ending.
MiG suddenly saw the guitar on the ground, the one that belonged to his great-great-grandfather Hector, and he thought of one last option.
So he picked up his guitar and played the song "Remember" written by great-great-great-grandfather Héctor to great-grandma Coco!
When the song sounded, Grandma Great-Grandma's hand in the wheelchair suddenly moved, and at this moment, there were a total of 18 reviewers in the entire theater, almost all of whom were crying.
Guo Sihong stared at the big screen in front of him, he is 68 years old this year, he didn't expect to cry when he watched a cartoon for children, which is not a glorious thing in his opinion, so he stared at the big screen without squinting, while wiping away his tears without a trace.
Through the corner of his eye, he saw that Lao Li on the left also wiped his eyes without a trace, while Lao Liu on the right took the opportunity to wipe his glasses and secretly wiped his tears.
It looks like he's not the only one in tears today.
After the film is shown, it is customary for everyone to have a discussion session live.
The scene suddenly became surprisingly quiet, and no one was the first to speak.
All kinds of thoughts in Guo Sihong's mind quickly turned.
According to common sense, there are a large number of "undead" or "ghosts" in this "Dream Travel", so it must not be able to pass the trial, but ......
Guo Sihong's eyes skimmed over the rest, a total of 17 reviewers, and he knew that it was this seemingly deviant animated film that magically made almost everyone in the 18 reviewers, including himself, cry.
Although normally it is impossible for this movie to pass the review, it would be a pity if such a good movie could not pass the review.
In the end, whether or not they can pass the audit is still a matter for the superior leadership department, but as an auditor, their opinions are also very important.
Therefore, he should organize the language as soon as possible, and if someone gives an opinion that is not judged, he will try to convince the other party as much as possible.
However, in Guo Sihong's view, even the most optimistic estimate, it is impossible for the film to pass the trial without moving, and most of the time everything that happens in the world of the dead must become a dream, a dream made by a little protagonist MiG, or a story told by the characters in the play.
Seeing that no one spoke, Guo Sihong spoke up and said:
"The movie involves the theme of the undead, in principle, it can't be passed, but everyone has seen the quality of the movie, and it would be a pity if such a movie can't pass the review because of the subject matter, so my opinion is that we all brainstorm and discuss a revision, and try to ensure that the film passes the review smoothly in accordance with the policy."
After speaking, Guo Sihong looked at the reactions of other people, and then he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, it seemed that everyone didn't agree with his opinion.
Yes, after all, as an animated film, a large number of undead characters in it are indeed a bit over-the-top, but if the producer is really required to completely delete this part, then how much of the essence of this movie can be left?
Lao Zhang shook his head slightly, Lao Li stopped talking, Lao Zhou frowned, Guo Sihong felt that this "Dream Travel" was probably doomed.
At this time, Lao Zhao, who retired from the Film Bureau, spoke:
"I don't agree with Lao Guo's opinion very much, Lao Guo said that we have to discuss a revision, and I want to say what revisions are needed for such a good movie? Could it be that our revisions will make this film better? I think it's the opposite, and random changes can ruin the movie. ”
Someone interjected: "I agree with what Lao Zhao said, before this, I never thought that an animated movie would make me cry when I saw it, and said that I would revise it, how to change it?" Change to from being able to move us people to after reading it, can we do it without any waves in our hearts? Is this considered a successful change? ”
Someone continued to chimed in: "If I want to say that if possible, it is better for me to pass the trial without cutting it!" ”
"No cuts, I agree!"
Guo Sihong was shocked when he heard this, he thought that everyone didn't agree that he didn't approve of letting the film pass the review, it turned out that what everyone really meant was that such a good animated movie should be reviewed without cutting it!
Unexpectedly, such an animated film with a sensitive subject matter would make everyone's opinions on the scene highly unified.
Almost everyone agrees that they should be judged without cutting a knife, it's just god!
"Raise your hand to vote, and if you agree with the review opinion, please raise your hand!" Lao Zhao, who was the first to advocate no cuts, suddenly proposed.
A total of 18 reviewers in the Wenyan Theater raised their hands one after another, and this scene couldn't help but make Guo Sihong feel a lot of emotion, until everyone's eyes converged on him.
"Lao Guo!"
Someone reminded.
Guo Sihong smiled and raised his right hand when he heard this: "I agree." ”
Then he said: "But although the bureau generally respects our opinions, it is the bureau that makes the final decision, and it is impossible for us to say that we don't need to change it." ”
"Then it's not for us to worry about, the superior asked us to review, we will review it carefully, the bureau needs audit opinions, we also give opinions, as for the final adoption or not by the superiors, that is the superior's own business!"
Guo Sihong nodded when he heard this
……
There really is no impermeable wall in the world.
Not long after the Radio and Television Theater here reviewed Li Mu's "Dream Travel", relevant news has already spread on the Internet, and I don't know how it got out.
In short, it was suddenly reported on the Internet that Li Mu's new film "Dream Travel" might not be able to pass the review due to the subject matter, and netizens immediately exploded when they heard the rumors.
"What's the situation? It's just a cartoon, and this can also step on the red line? It's hilarious! ”
"It's really fake, this is Li Mu offending people, right? Otherwise, with Li Mu's current status, no one should be stuck in a movie! ”
"Can I explode? Talking about cultural output and cultural output all day long, really talking about cultural output, at least 60 of the 100 credits are Li Mu's alone, Ka Li Mu's movie, is this preparing to abolish martial arts? ”
"Cultural export has just become possible to do this, I'm really-"
"I heard that the average age of the reviewers is more than 60 years old, and that's the problem, in the eyes of these old antiques, cartoons are for children, so they can't stand the less childlike content in animated movies!"
"Today's pill!"
Of course, there are many people who gloat, after all, Li Mu is not RMB, it is impossible for everyone to like him, not to mention that he also married the goddess Liu Yifei in the hearts of countless people.
Some netizens posted on the Internet: "No one needs to sympathize with Li Mu, you must know that he can sleep with Liu Yifei in his arms at night!" ”
is such a ridicule that has nothing to do with the movie's review has resonated with countless netizens, which is simply out of the ordinary!
Magic City.
Huashang Studio.
The filming site of "Edge of Tomorrow".
"Director, is the review of "Dream Travel" really stuck?"
"The director should be fine, right? If it's a big deal, the investment of 150 million US dollars can't really be completely dismissed, right? ”
"If it's really killed like this, I see who will dare to invest a lot of money to make high-quality movies in the future!"
"It's speechless!"
"It must be fine, didn't you see that our director didn't panic at all?"
……
The crew members took advantage of the gap in filming to come over to inquire about the situation, and then they were all sent away by Li Mu casually.
In fact, he has already received a call from the leader of the Film Bureau, according to the leader, it must be no problem for the film to pass the review, and the leader is now fighting for Li Mu to get the opportunity to pass the review without cutting it, and the director also said that this time "Dream Travel" can be regarded as creating a history, a history of all the reviewers being seen crying, and all the reviewers agreed to not cut the history of the review.
However, I heard that there are still some differences between the different leaders in the bureau on this matter, but the problem is not big, and the chance of passing the trial without cutting it is still quite large.
Li Mu pondered, since even the director in charge said that the probability of not cutting it was very high, it was basically confirmed, but after all, the official opinion had not yet been issued, so Li Mu would be too lazy to celebrate in advance.
After completing the day's shooting task and returning to the hotel, sitting on the sofa, Liu Yifei came over to rub Li Mu's shoulders, not counting after rubbing her shoulders, she also had to quickly prepare hot water to wash Li Mu's feet, Li Mu was a little flattered, of course he enjoyed it very much, but he was a little reluctant in his heart, pulled people up and sat next to him and said:
"Okay, okay, it's a great sin to wear you out my feet."
