I really can't act

Chapter 489 National Feelings
There is a reason for this. War movies are serious movies after all, and most of Fang Yi's circle of friends does not mix youth movies, so he didn't look for him much before.

North Korea War, New China Founding War.In the past few decades, directors have tried to restore that war one after another.

Maybe this war is too artistic. So far, most Korean war films have achieved good ratings, and the average level is much higher than that of conventional war films.

"Shangganling", which was first filmed in 56, was adapted from the literary script "24 Days". It tells the story of soldiers from the eighth company of the Volunteer Army fighting bloody battles with the enemy in the battle of Shangganling, and finally won the victory.This film is a mission film, and the cost of filming was not considered at that time, so the studio that received the filming mission went to the border for field inspections, interviewed hundreds of soldiers who had witnessed it, and finally recruited two battalions of troops to dig pits and build roads. Restored that war as much as possible.

The episode "My Motherland" in the film is known as the second national anthem.

In 64, he filmed the movie "Heroes and Daughters", and the movie line "Fire at me!" can definitely be selected as one of the most important [-] lines of film and television dramas in China.

The 60-year-old movie "Surprise Attack" sold [-] million movie tickets for [-] cents a piece.

In addition to the above films, there are also films such as "Railway Guard", "Fierce Battle on the Unknown River" and "Wisdom Eyes" that reflect military logistics; "Heroic Tanker" that reflects armored soldiers; Eagle" and so on.

In fact, the predecessors have shown everything that can be photographed and excavated, and reached the pinnacle of aesthetic art in the last era.Then China and the United States entered the honeymoon period, followed by decades of economic construction, and the shooting of such films was no longer encouraged.As a result, both artistically and realistically, they fell into a vacuum period of "North Korean War Films".

This time point ended last year. In 11, the Golden Rooster Awards awarded the best documentary to the documentary "Ice and Snow Changjin Lake", which was the year when Fang Yi won the best director.The Golden Rooster Awards is an awards ceremony that prefers the main theme, and the films it awards seem to represent a certain attitude.

What does that mean?

It may not be possible to discourage the filming of Korean war films anymore.

The reason why this kind of double negative vague statement is used to describe it is because there is no clear provision in the first place, and the creator has to explore this scale by himself.For example, a screenwriter once thought of a good idea, but found that the idea might not be approved, so he called the friend in charge of the review and asked:

"Is there something wrong with my story?"

"no problem."

"Then it can't be shot?"

"do not know."

"Why don't you know? You said that there is no problem, how can you not know?"

"Because I really don't know."

Therefore, for a long period of time, no director has spent money to film the Korean War.Now that there is a turning point, directors are trying to apply with their notebooks one after another, hoping to restore that war with today's technology.

The Korean war films used to be the pinnacle of art at that time, but looking back now, there are naturally many shortcomings, such as the character creation is too facial, the scenes, special effects, weapons and equipment are not professional enough, especially the restoration of the US military, which is no longer in line with the Today's commercial war film demands.

If other people come to shoot, these disadvantages may not be solved, it is better not to shoot, don't be ashamed.

Fang Yi has already proven himself. In the wave of applications, he was the only director who got the filming permit.

In mid-May, Fang Yi went to Tongzhou to see the staged results of base's special effects production.

The person in charge, William, showed him the source of the produced film in a closed space with the internet disconnected:

The fiery red convertible raced fast, chasing under the jet's wings.Fang Yi controlled the convertible to approach, and his eldest brother Cheng stood up with difficulty, finally grabbed the edge of the wing, and jumped upwards.

At this time, the plane reached its initial flight velocity and began to lift its nose off the ground. The eldest brother Cheng hugged the wings and crawled towards the hatch.Fang Yi under the belly of the plane was gradually thrown away...

This section is a combination of real shots and special effects, which is okay at first glance.The moment the eldest brother Cheng stood up and climbed, he had already entered the stage of special effects. At that time, he was actually climbing a wooden model, but Fang Yi didn't notice the special effects.

He praised: "The effect is better than I thought."

William is different from the original American Old Ke. This buddy is a cool guy, and he said bluntly, "Because it's not difficult at all."

Fang Yi gave him a chance to show off: "Then what is so difficult?"

"In "Fantasy Rafting of Boy Pi", the tiger held by the protagonist, the fur and eyeballs are lifelike, and the tiger has expressions, which are ten times and a hundred times harder than our special effects plane."

Fang Yi got used to his character, and turned to ask: "What about war movies? "The Chinese Zodiac" didn't use guns. The next film I'll make involves the Korean War. There are a lot of World War II weapons. I can get real ones to shoot them." , but it’s just a sample in your hand, it won’t be loaded... Can this be made real?”

"definitely no problem."

"really?"

William, a Chinese American, called Old Ke, a white American, and the two Americans talked about Fang Yi's problem.Then Lao Ke said happily: "I am best at making war films that fight against Americans. The HBO "Band of Brothers" film I received originally, the Germans beat the Americans bloody and bloody, so honestly, ouch Screaming...I got it all back to normal!"

Fang Yi was amused by this guy, and couldn't help laughing: "I almost forgot that base started out with war movies."

Lao Ke complained: "That happened two years ago. At that time, I hadn't sold the company yet. After I sold the company, it wasn't that... a leader came?"

He was talking about the American William Cower.

William decided to review the composition of Lao Ke. He said: "Old Ke is a white American. I am afraid that he will feel that he will hurt his national feelings when he makes this kind of film. We should be considerate of him."

Lao Ke wanted to make progress too much, so he said decisively: "What national sentiments? I participated in this film out of justice, and my moral values ​​prevented me from standing idly by. Director Fang, are you willing to give me a chance?"

Fang Yi respects Lao Ke's desire to make progress, but even more respects the authority of the current base executive boss William. His eyes fell on this American Gao Hua who jumped from Industrial Light and Magic to the capital.

William is not a fool either, he knows that Fang Yi will look at him, which means that Fang Yi has been persuaded by Lao Ke.After all, Lao Ke has been working on "Band of Brothers" for a long time, and he is indeed experienced.

After a long while, William said: "I want to say one thing, you help me."

Old Ke: "Of course!"

The two then looked at Fang Yi together, and Fang Yi said, "Then it's settled, you two will take the lead."
