my time as a director

This happened in March last year. A Malaysian passenger plane flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing lost contact at the border between Malaysia and Yuenan, and did not send out a distress signal.

At the beginning, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia stated that the fuel of the aircraft could fly for 2 hours longer than the normal flight time, but when the fuel was exhausted, there was still no news from the aircraft.

In ten months, a plane with more than 200 people disappeared out of thin air. Until today, Malaysia announced that the plane crashed and the passengers and crew were killed.

"More than 200 people, it's just gone!"

Tong Liya next to her was a little sad. Like many people, she had been expecting the plane to be hijacked somewhere. After all, there was no news of the crash and no wreckage was recovered.

Li Qian also sighed. Although he knew that this was the result, he still hoped for some kind of miracle in his heart. After all, there were 154 compatriots on the plane.

"It's officially announced, so I'm going to get ready to conceive a new film."

"what?"

Tong Liya, who was still sad just now, was stunned when she heard Li Qian's inexplicable words, "What new movie?"

"This is the uncertain big thing you said before? To make a disaster movie about a plane crash? Isn't this adding salt to everyone's wounds?"

Tong Liya was very puzzled. At this time, the whole country and even the whole world are mourning because of the plane accident, especially the more than 100 Chinese people on the plane, which has a great response in the country. Li Qian is making this kind of disaster film at this time.

Isn't this the same as filming "Wenchuan Earthquake" in 08?

"That's right, that's not right." Li Qian nodded, "There is no shortage of disaster movies in any country, and what I want to make are anti-genre disaster movies."

"What is an anti-genre disaster film?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Normal disaster films often follow the narrative structure of normal life-disaster occurrence-escape and mutual rescue-life restoration of calm, accompanied by shocking scenes such as tsunamis and earthquakes, which indirectly show the kindness of human nature. evil.

As for anti-genre disaster films, in fact, I don’t want to make this type of film. There will be no disasters, pain, or tests of human nature. Instead, it will give people comfort and hope. Happened, the plane will be safe. "

Chapter 488 "Flight of Destiny"

"On a holiday in 2015, the male protagonist took his wife, children, parents, younger sister, and prospective brother-in-law to travel by plane. Because his son had leukemia and needed a lot of money to see a doctor, the male protagonist from an ordinary family grabbed another flight. two special tickets.

So in order to save such a little money, the family took two separate planes. The male protagonist took his son and sister on one trip, and his parents, wife, prospective brother-in-law and daughter took the other trip.

The flight that the hero was on encountered a strong turbulence during the flight, but in the end he survived without any danger and landed at the destination smoothly.

However, when all the passengers on the plane disembarked, they found that the entire airport apron was surrounded by countless troops and police.

The police told them that the plane had suddenly lost contact during the flight five years ago, and it had long been recognized as a crash. Everyone on the plane was already legally dead. "

Unable to bear Tong Liya's questioning, Li Qian briefly talked about the idea of ​​the new movie, "It probably started like this, a story about a plane that has been deemed to have crashed and a group of dead people who disappeared five years later and suddenly appeared. "

"Anything like this?"

Tong Liya was surprised by Li Qian's thoughts, "Where did this plane go in the past five years?"

Li Qian shook his head, "I didn't go anywhere. For the people on the plane, they arrived at their destination normally. It has been five years outside, but they have only passed through a few novels, and their appearance has not changed. Originally, the doctor said that leukemia My son can only live for two or three years, but after five years he is still alive and kicking."

"Is that time travel?"

"I don't know that."

"What is ignorance, you don't know the story you want!"

Tong Liya gave Li Qian a punch in dissatisfaction, and urged, "Quickly say, this beginning is too creative, don't be fooled."

"I didn't know it at first, and I didn't plan to explain it in the movie." Li Qian spread his hands.

"Then how do you arrange it later? If you don't travel through time and space, if you encounter a time-space wormhole, you can't explain it." Tong Liya was very puzzled.

After five years in the outside world, the plane disappeared under the detection of satellites and radars for five years and then suddenly reappeared? But the people on board have not changed at all? There is no explanation at all except for traveling through time and space.

"It can be explained more? But I'm not a science fiction film? It's just a pure drama. There is no need to spend time explaining this? Just treat it as a mystery." Li Qian said.

"It's not a sci-fi movie? Then how do you make it?" Liya Tong couldn't figure it out. Is it so bizarre? What if it's not a sci-fi movie.

Li Qian smiled and said, "Didn't you say it just now? It's comforting. In fact, the plot is very simple. Five years have passed? The hero's mother died of grief? After the grief, the wife also started dating another man." , and the prospective brother-in-law is also engaged to another girl, the male lead and his sister will have to face everything that happened during the five years without them."

"Isn't this too tragic? My mother passed away and my wife remarried? My fiancé got engaged to someone else." Tong Liya clicked her tongue secretly, now she wouldn't believe Li Qian said it was a sci-fi movie? It was clearly an emotional drama.

"What's worse, the one who is engaged to my sister's fiancé is her best friend."

"Dog blood."

"But there is also good news? The son who got leukemia in 2015 and could only live for two or three years? Five years later, in 2020? Leukemia can be cured, and he can live forever."

"Then what do you want to talk about?"

Two love triangles, and a fiancé who fell in love with a best friend so bloody, emotional drama + sci-fi gimmicks, Tong Liya was a little confused.

"It means that they are facing great changes, and their life after that, dramas, there is no sci-fi element."

This is Li Qian’s inspiration from an American drama. The first episode of that drama has a full score at the beginning, which is similar to the beginning of Li Qian’s idea, but I can’t watch it anymore, except for the first episode, I can only score a maximum of 6 points. up.

The first two or three seasons of American TV dramas are usually wonderful, but the second episode of this drama is terrible.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, apart from the beginning, there is no need for the rest of the plot. Li Qian just borrowed the beginning and had to write the rest himself.

"But, the male protagonist's family is a bit miserable, and the love triangle story is not worth watching. Will the audience like it?" Tong Liya was a little worried. Li Qian is now the best at the box office, especially since "The God of Medicine" , he hardly encountered any negative news in China.

But that's it, once the box office is not satisfactory, the negative voices that haven't appeared before can't be suppressed, and all of them will pop up, and you can imagine how ugly it will be.

And everyone who was blocked by Li Qian, I'm afraid they will all show their heads. God knows how long these people have been holding back their anger.

Li Qian shook his head, "Who said I was filming a love triangle, think about it, a woman, her husband died in an air crash, she took care of the child alone, and took care of the elderly of the two families, the son's family was in difficulty because of leukemia, this Sometimes, if there is a man who really loves her by her side, helping her in every possible way, taking care of the elderly and children, normal people will be moved after a long time, and try to accept him.

There is also my younger sister's fiancé, whose beloved passed away. He has been depressed for two or three years, and has been living in a daze. At this time, there is a person who has always had a crush on him by his side, helping him to untangle his heart and cheer up. Even a rock is hot.

Besides, these two people really like each other, one is gentler and warmer than the other, they are not villains. "

"But there is no conflict in this way?" Tong Liya asked.

"Why is there no conflict? Five years is an insurmountable gap between the two sides. The choices of all of them are conflicts, because no matter what they choose, they are both right and wrong.

This is destiny. No one can change what has happened. People can only choose the next path. When a flight crashes, some people get out after a few years of sinking and continue their life, and some people can't get out of it for the rest of their lives.

But the plane suddenly appeared, and everyone's life was disrupted again. Faced with this irreversible fate, they will choose their own fate again.

Accepting the grief that has happened, life must go on, it can be regarded as a good word to the people in grief, let them continue to look forward firmly, not only them, everyone will encounter difficulties, and the audience should resonate. "

Li Qian sighed. He can be regarded as a famous director. He gave back to the society and filmed something meaningful. That's all he could do.

"But what if someone comforts himself after watching the movie and Hang will suddenly appear in five years?" Tong Liya asked an abrupt question.

"That's good. At least it gave them hope that they could get out of their grief, so that they won't be unacceptable if they salvage the wreckage later."
