China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 584 Why fight?

"Tell me, do you miss your relatives in your hometown?"

"think!"

"Okay, then I ask you to close your eyes... think about it... think about your hometown, think about your relatives... think about the miserable scenes we have seen since we entered the DPRK.

!”

The scene shifted to evening. On the way the troops passed by, the villages were destroyed by the war, and there were corpses everywhere that had no time to bury them.

The plane with its unsettling engine roar gradually receded into the distance, and the soldiers lying in the grass emerged one after another...

The soldier stepped onto the rock with the kettle in hand. He suddenly stopped scooping water and looked at the gurgling stream coming from the distance.

The clear water was mixed with a few brush strokes of blood-red ink, reflecting the sunset in the little warrior's eyes with a dazzling color.

The soldier pushed aside the grass, walked through thorns and stones, and reached the bank of the stream upstream.

Several women washing clothes fell by the stream. The blood soaked the grass and stones, and then merged into the clear water.

The tragic scene of being killed by a bomb was shown on the screen without reservation, and it carried a powerful impact into the eyes of every audience.

Zhang Shouyan marveled in a low voice.

Even if it is not a DreamWorks war movie, the display of violence and gore will have more space than other movies.

In fact, he just wanted to support director Tian Xinye for the sake of "Sky Eagle Warrior". In addition, he is also a military fan, so he bought the ticket with his friends.

Borrowing the conflict caused by a deserter, using a simple drama, simple language and simple but tragic pictures that do not show off any skills, the emotions were aroused.

As a director, he has been to theaters countless times to watch his movies with the audience. He is very keen on the difference between the audience's bored silence and the audience's silence that is completely immersed in the plot, and will not be confused.

This kind of characterization and behavioral logic seems normal if it is placed in police and criminals, science fiction, ancient wars or other themes.

Just like many movies he had seen before, the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers seemed to be innate, and seemed to be inspired by brotherly loyalty.

Coupled with the right montage interspersed, the concept of the entire movie is quietly and thunderously established.

Little Anton went from being unbelievable to feeling like he was reborn. Accompanied by the melodious and heavy orchestral music, a resounding "Yes!" burst out from his chest, echoed in the theater, and shocked the nerves and eardrums of every audience.

But it seems that they either don't care about this, or they don't know how to put this into practice, or they think the answers to why they fight in the textbook are too hypocritical.

"...Then if these things...happen to your hometown and your relatives, what will happen to you?"

This is the occupational disease of being a director.

It even made him wonder for the first time whether this was a film directed by Tian Xinye, and then he wondered whether this was a film directed by Tian Xinye. As a director, Tian Xinye didn't have much say in it, and the shackles were too heavy and he couldn't perform it well.

From this, Tian Xinye's suspicion that he was not interested in this movie turned into that he seemed to be trying hard to restrain his distinctive style.

He turned and looked at his companion with an expression I had expected.

Although the plot of the movie has not yet unfolded, he is also a movie fan and naturally has his own judgment method that has been baptized by countless bad movies.

But so sincere.

Previously, he had been silently analyzing the film's shots, light and shadow, and even automatically generated the position of the camera and the placement of props in his brain for each scene.

My friend who is also a military fan nodded silently: "This ideological work is really... well done. It was well shot."

The acting skills are also as good as spring breeze, every move, every gesture, every eye is perfectly integrated with the lines.

However, this simple and unpretentious plot told him that noble things are not far away and are not false. When he falls, they are the simplest feelings in everyone's heart.

Because he himself was completely touched by the huge dramatic tension generated by this "ordinary" scene, his brain automatically stopped analyzing each shot unconsciously.

Whether in the TV series "The Signal", the first season of "The Walking Dead", or in movies such as "District 9" and "Aquila Warrior", its distinctive shots and light and shadow have left a deep impression on people.

Zhang Shouyan looked at his companion and nodded, feeling a little proud and happy in his heart.

Or something worse, just reskin Hong Kong police and criminals or even gangster movies to the background of the Korean War.

"How about it? You heard me right, right?"

Gift films naturally have greater privileges.

Great skill and no workmanship.

After the gunfire, the bullet hit the branch above Little Anton's head.

Although this film is produced by DreamWorks, it is really different from most of DreamWorks' previous films.

This level is not profound. It is even known to everyone and is included in history and politics textbooks.

What to fight for.

Li Yannian was wearing the military cap of the incredulous little Anton, and behind him was the voice of the company commander: "Go back to each squad and discuss today's events. The cadres will go to the battalion headquarters for a meeting to study the battle plan!"

"...Little Anton, what should you do if the plane flies to your village? Even if you escape successfully, what can you do if the plane flies over? You won't even have time to run!"

Of course, because of this, he was a little contemptuous at first. In his eyes, although Tian Xinye was a director who didn't know how to tell stories and wasn't good at writing scripts, he was lucky enough to be spotted by DreamWorks - he considered himself a creative director -

But I am still positive about its lens language and shooting style.

You can feel it from the silence and increasingly solemn atmosphere in the cinema.

The audience may even have followed the baton of the movie and have majestic emotions surging in their hearts.

On Li Yannian's rough face, his eyes were filled with water, as if the scene just now was echoing in his brain.

It's just that these are the patterns formed by many movies with this theme in the past.

And just now, this movie took root simply and neatly.

And this truth is so simple and so shocking.

Amid Xiao Anton's sobbing voice, Li Yannian turned around and looked at all the soldiers, his voice sonorous and powerful.

Guan Hu could feel that his wife Liang Jing, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be shocked by the resounding answer of the little warrior on the screen.

I didn't expect to get an unexpected surprise.

People like unruly protagonists, protagonists with rich personal characteristics, brotherly loyalty, and heroism.

But soon, Guan Hu's mind changed.

"Fuck..."

"Little Anton, you have already died once as a deserter. From now on, you will no longer live for one Er Niu, but to defend thousands of Er Niu."

Especially in this scene, Li Yannian's speech is interspersed with montage scenes. The straightforward plot without any technical difficulty is like a spring, accumulating undercurrents of energy.

This is a tribute movie to the Korean War.

But why was he so deeply moved?

Is the script good?

Of course, the actor who played Li Yannian's lines in this scene were simply perfect. His language was simple and even straightforward, but also extremely sincere.

A cowardly person who didn't want to fight and just wanted to escape. He was moved by the sacrifices of others, infected by the cheering mood, moved by the rented singing and dancing, and angered by the tragic situation of his brothers who were only close by.

The heroism hidden in my heart was inspired, and I became brave.

Or a rebellious, alternative, rebellious person who was moved by brotherly loyalty and thus understood the meaning of sacrifice for others.

"...If you want to live a peaceful and happy life, you can only win the war!"

As the saying goes, when a tree grows, it must first establish its roots.

As an art that combines sound and picture, film also allows the audience to silently accumulate emotions that erupt like a volcano in this sound and picture.

Even if it is put into one scene of a play, it is extremely contagious.

Especially with Li Yannian's "speech" and the ideological and political mobilization of Xiao Anton, a deserter, it felt like hearing thunder in a silent place.

There is no show off skills, no playing around with the plot structure, no creativity, and no multi-line narrative.

From this alone, he could feel the sincerity of the film's creators.

Not only the script, but also the style of the entire movie made him feel a little panicked.

These four words emerged in his mind without his control.

However, there are not many bloody scenes like this that directly show civilians, and the impact is indeed greater.

At the same time, in the IMAX theater of another theater, which was used as the premiere theater, Guan Hu just looked at the big screen with a silent expression.

If a film like this doesn't explain clearly why we are fighting and why we are fighting this war for justice, wouldn't it just be like re-skinning "Mekong" or "Operation Red Sea" to the background of the Korean War?

Is it still necessary to film it? Aren’t there already high-quality domestic military action films?

It seems extremely simple and unpretentious.

The simplicity of the lens language becomes restraint.

Usually the main theme of military action movies is larger in scale, which is the tradition since "Mekong".

With the sound of a gunshot, Zhang Shouyan couldn't help but softly shouted "Okay!" as the emotions accumulated to the climax.

Because few similar movies have reached this level before.

Movies are all about results. If the effect is good, then the director must have done something right.

Rather than believing in those noble things, those more noble things.

But when it comes to modern war movies, especially those with themes like the Korean War or liberation, he always feels it's against the grain.

Either it is that he did not focus on this movie. After all, his last movie was "Sky Eagle Warrior". There are indeed rumors that Tian Xinye's filming of "Sky Eagle Warrior" and "Li Yannian" were seamless.

When he joined the team, he spent too much effort on "Sky Eagle Warrior" and took charge of the task of "Li Yannian" just to rush it to the shelves.

But in this movie, it seems that it has lost its past charm, and every shot is quite satisfactory.

Before the premiere, the image of Chen Jingxing walking away unceremoniously emerged again, which seemed to say that the people he thought had the same ideas as him were actually not the same people as him at all.

This movie seems to have become his consistent idea, the opposite of his creative ideas from "The Eight Hundred" to "King Kong River".

And this "opposite side" is still proving that what he thinks is false and cannot move people's hearts can enter the hearts of the audience and can move the audience.

It was like a slap in the face.
