968. Small people, big perspective
Originally, Wang Yifan really didn't want to copy the script of "My Motherland and Me" in his previous life.
But these existing scripts were simply so difficult, so he had to reluctantly make it.
In fact, the success of "My Motherland and Me" in my previous life is certainly related to the environment at that time.
But I have to say that the few short stories in "My Motherland and Me" are indeed very representative and very short-lived.
Everyone looked at Wang Yifan. Although the old screenwriters were a little angry, after all, they were experts in the main theme movies, but the times have changed!
Wang Yifan thought about it. Although many places were similar to this world in the past life, there were still many different places, especially some details.
Almost every story in the previous life has a prototype. Wang Yifan doesn’t know if there is one or another, so he definitely can’t follow it.
"Okay, I do have some ideas here, but it's not complete. Let me tell you, everyone is rare to get together. If you have any ideas, you can express your opinions!" Wang Yifan thought for a while and said.
"Director Wang has an idea, we have already said it. We are really not convinced of other things, but Director Wang, I believe no one will question your screenwriter level, right?" Cao Meng said with a smile.
"Okay, "My Motherland and Me" My idea is that we don't shoot stories about big names, because to be honest, the stories of big names are much more sensitive. And, the key is that for many viewers today, they may not have any resonance and sense of inclusion. Moreover, there are too many stories about big names, and if we shoot stories about big names, we cannot make major modifications at all. Although the inspiration comes from reality, if it is filming big names, then we cannot have too many inspiration!"
"The main theme movie is best to make the audience feel immersive and empathetic. Are you right?" Wang Yifan said with a smile.
"Yes, main theme movies, I have made too many characters in the past. If I really want to make movies of big names, the name of the movie "My Motherland and Me" is a bit abrupt. As for my motherland and Me, I would be representative here, representing the audience." Chen Hang nodded and said.
"Yes, so, I think our first idea is to shoot stories related to historical moments, but the starting point is best to start from small characters."
"If you want to talk about classic historical moments, then the founding ceremony will naturally not be avoided. Therefore, I think the story of the first historical moment of "My Motherland and Me" can be based on the founding ceremony as the theme. However, in terms of the story, we do not talk about the stories of the big names. The founding ceremony has many details and many unknown things. For example, how to ensure the smooth convening of the founding ceremony without any accidents. Many of us do not know about these. In fact, there are countless people behind it, so let's shoot this! Because these unknown stories represent the general public!"
"Otherwise, for many people, if they just watch the founding ceremony, then the sense of participation is really not high. But if the stories behind the scenes that were silently working hard for it, these people, like everyone else, are small people, but they are also indispensable!" Wang Yifan explained.
In fact, many domestic main theme movies are the most criticized, in Wang Yifan's opinion, who like to shoot those big names!
Yes, big names are indeed famous and have made the most contributions, but for ordinary people, it is difficult to feel immersive.
In fact, Hollywood movies are very good at this. They rarely shoot any big shots. Even if they shoot, they will start shooting stories when big shots are still small.
Most of the time, the main theme movies they shoot are either ordinary soldiers, lawyers, scientists, or even ordinary workers, but these are often more acceptable to the audience.
Because these people will make them feel involved. It turns out that history is not just written by those big names, but also ordinary people like us.
In Wang Yifan's view, the biggest breakthrough of "My Motherland and Me" is that although its theme is the magnificent historical moments that deserve to be remembered, it is actually the efforts of those inconspicuous people in these major events.
Or the efforts of the little people can resonate with the audience, because those people are not big people, they are the same as ordinary people, but in such big events, their participation may be just a trivial little detail, but it is equally crucial!
"I think the story that happened the night before the Xinhua Founding Ceremony is the first story! For example, the flag-raising ceremony of the founding ceremony was not automated at that time, or many things could not be designed like now, and the flag-raising ceremony can be completed accurately, etc.!
For example, how to ensure that everything goes smoothly during the process of raising the flag?
I thought of a story for this! Of course, after all, this is just a story. In terms of details, it is best to find someone who participated in this matter to improve it!"
Wang Yifan said.
Li Xinghua's eyes suddenly lit up.
"This idea is very good. Only in the subtleties can we show "me" and my motherland. When raising the flag, everyone may only pay attention to the flag-raising belle, but they will not pay attention to it. To complete these actions, it is not casual, but very rigorous. After all, that happens in reality, and at such a critical moment, it is absolutely not allowed to be lost. As for the people you said that who participated in this matter back then to improve the details, I think it is completely feasible. I will let someone find relevant people."
Wang Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, it is best for the archetype of the story to appear and say it. In this way, our story can restore the original situation!"
"In my opinion, this kind of story does not require us to make up, because I believe that the real experiences that happened to those who were in charge of electric flag-raising at that time were definitely more exciting and nervous than we imagined out of thin air. How can we ensure "unsuccessful"? The square must have martial law before the founding ceremony, so how can we conduct tests? How can we conduct tests? I think we can only use simulated tests to judge the results of electric flag-raising in the square. And all of this is the four words "unsuccessful".
