tearjerker director

Chapter 1235 Mother and Child Version "The Gift of Room No. [-]"

The matter of "Lu Binghua" has also temporarily come to an end.

For Li Yi, this is just a very small movie.

Recently, on the big screen of Chinese-language movies, for some reason, remakes have suddenly become popular.

Many old movies have been remade, and what is interesting is that many of the past word-of-mouth works released, although the remakes have been complained by many people, and the word-of-mouth is not very good, but the box office is very impressive.

Following the trend is the same in any market, and the Chinese film market is no exception.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Li Yi, but unexpectedly, someone actually thought of remaking a movie he had made before.

And more than one, more than one director, and more than one film company have such an idea.

There is no way, according to the words of the good Hong Kong Island media, in the past ten years, when it comes to Chinese-language movies, Li Yi's name cannot be ignored.

And his movies are often the guarantee of the box office, but they are still well-received and popular. The most important thing is that many of Li Yi's movies are typical cases of small and big.

For those directors who want to remake old movies or companies who want to do this kind of project, these movies of Li Yi are undoubtedly the most suitable.

According to them, that is, maybe some things will be out of date, but the tear film is almost hard to be out of date.

Because even those short films and movies of Li Yi's past, it looks like now, you should still cry, you still have to cry.

Among them, companies and directors on Hong Kong Island have the most willingness. In fact, this is not surprising. In terms of following suit, Hong Kong Island films can be said to be the most extreme.

Often when a movie becomes popular, it can directly produce N movies for you in a short period of time, and it looks like it will not stop until the subject is rotten.

This time, there are three companies on Hong Kong Island who intend to remake Li Yi's previous films, including "The Story of Hachiko", "Mom Loves Me Again", and "The Gift of Room No. [-]"!
Li Yi hardly said anything, and directly refused, even if the price offered by the other party was not low, but Li Yi knew that this group of people was pissed.

The fundamental reason is still, fried cold rice.

He doesn't dislike remakes, but the point is, the original intention of this group of people is not to really want to make a good movie. Otherwise, why did they choose these few movies?
It can be said that a film like "The Story of Hachiko" is a foreign remake, but what's the point of remaking such a movie in China?
Can you make a better version than the original?

The fundamental reason is that this movie has such a good reputation and is too famous, that's why these people want to remake it, because for them, they don't need to care about scolding or anything, as long as they remake, they can It is said that basically there will be no loss, especially if Li Yi continues to stand on the platform.

"Actually, if the remake doesn't work, is it possible to make a sequel?" Mu Qing was quite moved.

"Sequel? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Li Yi asked suspiciously.

"Recently, there have been a lot of discussions about remakes of movies on the Internet, and some people have mentioned the movies you made. One of the topics is very popular and has been supported by many fans." Mu Qing said.

"What topic?" Li Yi became more curious.

""The Gift of Room No. [-]"!" Mu Qing said.

"What?" Li Yi was even more confused.

"There are several reasons. This movie can be said to be your first successful movie in the true sense, right?" Mu Qing looked at Li Yi with a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with teasing.

Li Yi rolled his eyes. This can also be said to be the place where Li Yi was ridiculed the most by many fans. Many people directly said that "The Gift in Room No. [-]" was Li Yi's first movie, but they all ignored Li Yi Yi's first film, can be called a tiankeng.

Of course, I understand everything.

In fact, even Li Yi's debut novel now has a high rating on the popular film review website.

From the earliest low to the point where Li Yi was embarrassed to be able to pick out three bedrooms and two living rooms, the score has risen to a score close to passing.

Of course, this is purely because of Li Yi's current status and fame. Therefore, many netizens often start to interpret a very ordinary plot and bad scenes into different things.

"Many netizens said that "The Gift of Room No. [-]" is a father-daughter version, so why not make a mother-child version?" Mu Qing looked at Li Yi and said.

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment.

As his first successful work, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" has a fairly high status among his fans.

After all, Li Yi also got out of control from the beginning of this movie.

"Movie fans in Hong Kong Island are the most vocal about this, take a look." Mu Qing said and handed the tablet to Li Yi for him to watch.

Li Yi looked at it rather curiously.

There are many netizens leaving messages under the movie discussion page of "The Gift of Room No. [-]".

"I really miss "The Gift of Room No. [-]", not only because of the tear-jerking, not only because of the tear-jerking father-daughter relationship, but also because this is the first work of the dog director (dog head, dog head!)"

"It's not interesting to remake a movie. Director Dog's movie is based on the plot. Can a new director's remake surpass the original? So, making a sister or brother story, isn't it more interesting?"

""The Gift of Room No. [-]" is very suitable. It is a father-daughter relationship, so it can be used as a corresponding mother-child relationship!"

"The one above is right on point, I recommend it for cracked walls!"

"."

Thinking about it carefully, what these netizens said may not be unreasonable.

Compared with other movies, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" has a mother-child version, which seems quite appropriate.

Suddenly, a mother-son version of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" really appeared in Li Yi's mind.

I have to say that the stick in the previous life does have its own uniqueness in terms of tear-jerking and sensationalism.

Li Yi reviewed the movie silently. Although the stories of the two movies are not very similar, the stories also happened in the prison.

The difference is that the hero in "The Gift of Room No. [-]" is a man with a questionable IQ, while the mother in the other film is a normal person.

But there are many similar places, and they all revolve around the inside and outside of the prison.

It's just that Li Yi frowned quickly, because the story in that movie happened in Bangzi, and the laws and regulations were very different from those in China.

For example, the issue of sentencing pregnant women.

According to the Criminal Law of Bangzi Country, after a female prisoner gives birth in prison, she can raise her child in prison for 18 months after giving birth.At the end of the period, the child must be released from prison for adoption.

However, in China and Hong Kong Island, after pregnant women are usually sentenced, most of them will not be imprisoned immediately, but will be executed outside the prison until the breastfeeding period is over, and then they will serve their sentences in prison.

That's a big difference.

However, Li Yi quickly laughed and shook his head. He hasn't decided whether to make this movie yet, and it's useless to think so much now.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Li Yi smiling and shaking her head, Mu Qing asked suspiciously.

"I thought of a story, which is similar to "The Gift of Room No. [-]", but it's a mother-child version." Li Yi said with a smile.

"Ah?" Even if she knew that her man had always had the habit of sudden inspiration, she was still quite surprised by the sudden inspiration.

"However, there are some details that I haven't figured out yet, and, to some extent, this movie is indeed somewhat similar to "The Gift in Room No. [-]"." Li Yi said after a moment of pondering.

"Of course, men and women, fathers and mothers, are completely different in terms of emotional expression, and men's prisons and women's prisons are also completely different!"

In fact, prison tear gas movies like this have a similar feature.

Because these protagonists are all prisoners, it is a matter of course that you have committed a crime, been arrested, and sentenced.

However, the key is to see what kind of crime they committed?

In "The Gift of Room No. [-]", the male protagonist is mentally handicapped first, and secondly wronged. Therefore, from this point of view, although he is serving his sentence in prison, he is not a real prisoner.

And similarly, in "The Gift of Room No. [-]", the crimes committed by the prisoners in Room No. [-] were not heinous crimes.

In this way, the identity of the prisoner will not make the audience preconceived, and will not make people stand on the opposite side of them all at once.

"Harmony", yes, the mother-child version of "The Gift of Room No. [-]" that Li Yi remembered, this movie actually adopted a similar method.

When a crime is sentenced, it is natural that they are all prisoners, and they are all people who have made mistakes, but how to make these prisoners not feel that they deserve what they have suffered, such as the criminal in "Suyuan" back then, so to speak, No one who watched the movie didn't want him to die. No matter how miserable he was in prison, no one would sympathize with him.

Therefore, prisoners are also classified into types.

It even happened at the beginning, and many people hoped that the prisoners in the prison would carry out secondary sanctions and punishments on such hateful scumbags.

But a prisoner is a prisoner. When you are sentenced, unless you are wronged like the hero in "The Gift of Room No. [-]", you are not a real criminal yourself, so people will sympathize with him immediately.

However, it is impossible for all the prisoners in the prison to be wronged, right?

Therefore, they committed a crime, and what crime they committed required careful arrangements.

The method is actually similar to most movies. First of all, each of these female prisoners has an unbearable memory.

First of all, they must not be the kind of subjective crimes, or in other words, not the kind of natural evil people.

Some of them fought hard when they were brutally beaten by their husbands, and accidentally threw their husbands down on the glass table to death.

There are also people who rose up to resist when they were brutally raped by their stepfather and accidentally beat their stepfather to death.

There have also been cases of former professional wrestlers accidentally killing others with clips.

And because he couldn't bear the adultery between his husband and his lover, he drove them to death.

Does it look helpless?

It is easy to arouse people's sympathy?
Because in life, they were all victims outside the prison, and everyone's crimes were forced, accidental, or unbearable.

Therefore, in the eyes of the audience, these prisoners are no longer just criminals. They have committed crimes and been sentenced, but in fact, they are not so unforgivable.

At the same time, because of these special experiences, their relatives have more or less created some estrangements with them.

And because they are all women, motherhood is common.

This also makes this story more logical and self-consistent because of the experiences and backgrounds of these people.

Unlike "The Gift of Room No. [-]", which is mostly a man's drama, the difference is that the way of expressing maternal love is completely different from that of fatherly love.

In fact, such a setting, in the "criminal" movies as the protagonist, these can be said to be standard configurations. It will try to create a kind of: everyone you regard as a sinner is an ordinary person, and everyone Ordinary people make mistakes to varying degrees.

Before making a movie, or writing a script, these things need to be considered.

This is true for any movie, even if there is an original version as a reference, is the original version perfect?
Of course Li Yi will not be so conceited that he can adapt the original story according to his own ideas, because he thinks he can't achieve perfection.

In fact, whether it is "Harmony" or "The Gift of Room No. [-]", there are many details.

There are also many things that are criticized and questioned.

In other words, many plots in the film do not conform to real life!
Yes, definitely not.Because of this kind of movie, first of all, you can't really show the style that prison is "purgatory on earth", which is more acceptable to the audience.

In fact, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" was also criticized by many people. For example, the feeling of the movie is:
Prison life is very beautiful, so beautiful that I am happier than the school I live in now.

Another example is that there is harmony between prisoners and prisoners, and between prison guards and prisoners. The director of the prison is honest and kind-hearted. There are various activities in the prison. The accommodation conditions in the prison are more upscale and exquisite than our dormitory. , all criminals are wronged for their crimes in our view (well, strike that out).But at least these people's crimes were forced, or at least not serious crimes.
In short, everything is covered with a mask of harmony and beauty, which paralyzes you and makes you feel that life is extremely beautiful, as if it doesn’t matter if you commit a crime and go to jail, it’s nothing to do anyway, and you can live without worrying about food and clothing.
But these are necessary for this type of film.

Because the story your movie tells is about emotion, father-daughter love, mother-child love.

No matter how good the environment of the prison itself was, it was also a place where criminals stayed, but the background couldn't be too dark.

Otherwise, the focus of people's attention will no longer be on the relationship between mother and child, mother's love, or father's love, but on various things in the prison.

Don't these directors or screenwriters understand?
In fact, it is not, but even if you understand, so what?
It is still necessary to arrange the plot in this way, otherwise, the movie will not be a tearjerker but a prison storm!
