Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

The biggest difference between movies and TV shows is the length, and movies are destined to not hold too much content.Generally speaking, the standard movie length is 90 minutes, which is also the movie length acceptable to the audience.If it is a particularly excellent movie, or a movie directed by a great director, then the audience can probably accept 120 minutes.Therefore, movies shown in theaters are generally 90-minute movies, followed by 100-minute or 110-minute movies, and 120 minutes is the limit.Of course, there are very few exceptions.For example, super masterpieces like "Titanic" and "Apocalypse Now" are still sought after by the audience even if they are filmed for three hours.However, the directors of these films are all unborn film masters, and at the same time, they have only shot one or two super long films like them.Because of this, the vast majority of movies follow the so-called "three-act play" format, one third is the "opening scene"; the next third is "bedding"; the last third is "high| tide".Yes, all movies end at the climax, after all, the following plots can no longer attract the audience.

It is also because of this that the "war between artificial man and natural man" that Li Wei wants to show in the film cannot be directly expressed, so it can only be seen through the conversation between father and mother, and the father's increasingly indifferent attitude towards his son. come out.After all, compared with natural people, artificial humans have undergone genetic modification and later directional training, and their effectiveness as war machines is much higher than that of natural humans.The natural person who was pushed to the limit finally decided to start the targeted killing plan. After all, the biggest disadvantage of the artificial person is that he is not as "conspiracy" as the natural person.The natural person decides to sacrifice some natural persons, use them as bait to introduce artificial humans to several designated cities, and then use nuclear weapons to destroy these artificial humans.Unfortunately, the city where the mother and the others are located has become a decoy city.

Fortunately, my father is still a very important scientist to the government, and the government sent a helicopter to pick him up.The father said that as long as the mother gave up this son who was not their son at all, she could leave the city that was about to be bombed with him.Just when the mother was hesitating, his son let go of his hand.The mother quickly realized that, yes, the child had a hard time defining existence from a scientific point of view.She was his biological mother, but not a bioethical one.But after getting along for so many years, even in the most difficult time, she sheltered this little child.To himself, he is his own son.So the mother smiled and rejected the father, and took the child back to their home.

When the last moment came, the mother remembered a very important thing, she didn't have time to prepare any birthday for this child.So she decided to give the child his first and last birthday at the last moment of his life.She made a light blue cake with irises on it which the child loved so much but her own son didn't.Just when the child closed his eyes and made a wish, the window shone brightly like the sun.In the dazzling light, the film is out of focus...

Li Wei's final scene portrayal is still very sensational. Although death is not directly shown, everyone knows that it is impossible for anyone to survive so close to the nuclear explosion.But at the same time as the god of death reaps life, a mother celebrates her son's first birthday.Just because this heart-piercing knife came so quickly, many moviegoers haven't figured it out yet.But everyone was not indifferent, and soon some emotional female audience began to sob softly.

The film critics seem to have seen a gold mine, because there are so many things that can be unearthed in this movie.For example, the criticism of the first person; such as the contempt and criticism of patriarchy; such as the sublimation of maternal love... Any one of these things is enough to bear an excellent film review.But they still have a lot to know, so they waited for the movie to finish all the subtitles.

As the lights came on, the host stepped onto the stage again.Behind the host are Li Wei and other main creators and leading actors.The audience was clearly pleased with the film, so there was a standing ovation when the creator and lead came on stage.In fact, at this time, some people who are not interested in the behind-the-scenes of the movie have basically left, especially the people from other film crews.Because at this stage, it is the questioning session of film critics, and the questions of film critics generally point directly to the core of the film.If the relationship between directors is master-student relationship or brothers in the same school, then it doesn't matter to listen to the analysis.But if there is no such relationship, it is a bit uninteresting.Therefore, the host deliberately left some time for irrelevant people to leave the stage. In the end, only the film critics and judges were left. In addition, there were a few die-hard fans still on the second floor.The organizing committee also brought up chairs so that Li Wei and the others could sit down and accept questions.

The relationship between film critics and directors is very delicate. In Li Wei's words, it feels like a husband and wife.Both sides think that each other is the person who knows each other best, but they both look down on each other.The director will think that film critics are nothing, this film is my art, my child, do you understand?Do you understand my mental journey when creating this film?You know what I felt when I made this movie?You film critics and those fathers in your family think that you should be called "father" when the movie comes out?Letting you be a father casually is not enough, if everyone dislikes and is picky, your own son will be scared away, okay?But the film critics feel that whether it is your brewing or your perception, what is the use if you can't become your work?It's like saying that being a mother is both prenatal education and nourishment, but in the end she gave birth to a son who is not so good, who is to blame?Now the child is a little bit lost at the starting point, and I, as a father, don't urge one or two, what should I do in the future?

"Director Li, I found that in this movie, the role of the father is an absolute villain. On the one hand, he opened the Pandora's box of artificial humans, and on the other hand, his indifference to children and wives also made the film a final one. It's a tragedy." At this time, a film critic stood up and asked a question.

Everyone saw that it was actually the chief film critic of "Movie Review".Among the three major professional publications in the film industry, "DVD Collection" is mainly aimed at the DVD or Blu-ray disc market, so only "Movie Review" and "Box Office" are aimed at theater movies.Among the two publications, "Box Office" takes an inclusive route, whether it is a commercial film or an art film, it will get their favor.Moreover, the film critics of "Box Office" are rare film critics who do not discriminate against commercial films, and do not use the standards of art films to request and examine commercial films.The "Film Review" is a diehard "art film school" standard-bearer, and especially likes avant-garde and exploratory films.From the perspective of "Film Review", Li Wei's film has a style of exploratory film, so the emphasis on this film has increased a lot.

"What I want to know is, what is the source of the critique of patriarchy in this film? Also, what I want to know is, will there be such content in your future films?"

In movies, or in other words, in all literary and artistic works, "maternal love" is praised and praised.But in contrast, "patriarchy" is to be criticized.For example, many movies have "father killing" content.Of course, the "father killing" here does not necessarily mean letting the character kill the character's father.It can also be a master, superior, etc. role where the character rebels against, rejects, or destroys the father or a father-like role.In most literary and artistic works, patriarchy symbolizes independence, power and so on.

However, Li Wei did not have this idea, so he replied: "Actually, there is no other way. Because the duration of the movie is limited, in order to accommodate as many plots as possible in the limited time, I had to combine many characters, so Only then did I have the role of the father in the film. As for future works, this is not a good question to answer. Because the root of the film is the plot, all emotions and elements must serve the plot itself. If I plan to shoot the next film If it is about paternal love, then the so-called criticism of patriarchy will definitely not be easy to express. Of course, there may be some father-son conflicts, but it will not be the main content."

In fact, father's love movies will have a lot of dramatic conflicts compared to mother's love movies.In maternal love movies, the mother is the main character in the conflict, and she mainly bears the pressure from the outside world.But in fatherly love movies, the father is the main character of the conflict, but his main conflict comes from within the family.For example, the mutual incomprehension between father and son.Perhaps fundamentally speaking, my mother is more like a shelter for my emotions and life; while my father is more like a sharpening stone during my growth.

"Director Li, I found that the current promotional materials for this movie are all very sweet pictures, but the ending of your movie... Did you do it on purpose?" The reporter from "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" stood up at this time .

"Oriental Entertainment Weekly" can be regarded as a gossip weekly with style, and the reason for this evaluation is that at least they will not focus on gossip.Therefore, compared to "Friday" where the paparazzi culture is prevalent and "Show Weekly" which loves to explode all kinds of big stories, the standard of "Oriental Entertainment Weekly" can still be accepted by the mainstream entertainment circle.Therefore, many premieres and press conferences also like to invite such magazines.

"Yes, I did it on purpose." Li Wei made a grimace, which drew a lot of laughter from the audience. "Actually, you can't blame me. You guys think this is a family-friendly movie, so I just made a batch of posters according to your expectations. Don't worry, when the movie is officially released, I will replace it with suitable posters." .By the way, the report material for you this time is still based on warmth, and I hope you can help us deceive the audience. Anyway, you don’t feel good about being deceived, why don’t you deceive everyone together?”

Li Wei's humorous answer made the reporters in the audience burst into laughter. In fact, they also felt a little angry at being cheated at the beginning, but now that they think about it, it was Li Wei who used everyone's reports to play tricks on everyone.But it's interesting to think about the plan to deceive the audience together.So many reporters decided to distribute the warm photo of mother and child embracing each other as the main material.

The conversation with film critics and reporters lasted less than an hour, and then all the main creators and leading actors posed in front of the posters to take photos for the media present.After all this work, the premiere of "Mom" is over.During the remaining time, "Mom" will also be screened in other screening halls in the festival.As for attendance, it depends on how good the film is.But fortunately, Li Wei has paved the way for publicity in advance, and at the same time, this premiere ceremony will deepen everyone's impression. The rest is to hope that the show catalog can make a more positive evaluation of this movie.After all, the program is distributed free of charge to all audiences who come to the film festival.
