my time as a director

"Mr. Liu, that's it. I still have something to do."

Li Qian didn't have time to talk nonsense with Liu Yong, so he hung up the phone.

Doing business is business, and capital is not a show. The founder of Xinlang, who was in the limelight for a while, was not a businessman and was forced out by shareholders.

Li Qian didn't think of a way to drive him away. It would be fine if the dove occupied the magpie's nest, but after that, some of the management staff of Glava would switch jobs one after another.

Regarding the ticketing platform, Li Qian is not worried. The platform sells tickets, tickets for popular movies, and he has a large number of popular movies in his hand, which is his biggest advantage.

During this period, including financing, Chinatown investigation, new business and other messy things are almost done, Li Qian can focus all his energy on the creation of rejuvenation.

The whole film is full of special effects, and it is complicated. Hurry up and finish writing the script, writing storyboards, drawing storyboards, and then the real work.

As a whole, the script is based on the structure of the original version, with some major events since the founding of New China interspersed in, allowing the male protagonist to experience it.

The timeline is a problem. In fact, if it weren't for this aspect, Li Qian's own assumption is that the male protagonist was born on October 1949, 10.

Born just on National Day, a story about a person of the same age in the Republic who grew up with the Republic.

That would be perfect.

But if this is the case, they will not be able to experience the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, nor will they be able to experience the manufacture of atomic bombs. After all, the most suitable way is to be stationed in the Gobi Desert as soldiers returning from the Beibang battlefield.

This is the plot in Out of the World, Li Xuejian played the general of the Beibang battlefield, and after his triumphant return, he led his troops to the Gobi Desert.

But when he was born in 49, the Beibai War broke out immediately, and the time was not right.

Therefore, it was changed to 45 years, when the Anti-Japanese War was won.

Born in his 70s, Hua Guo joined the war at the end of the 50s. After five or six years, he looks 70 years old on the outside. Joining the army is definitely not acceptable.

Going out to sea with a fishing boat, encountered wind and waves, drifted to the shore, was rescued by a team of volunteers, insisted on joining, and the military situation was urgent, so he was temporarily incorporated into the cooking team?

seems a bit far-fetched

After thinking about it, Li Qian still brainstormed and found more people to discuss the setting.

Chapter 435

"I think it's a bit far-fetched and unreasonable to go to sea and encounter waves, be rescued by volunteers, and then follow them into the Beibai battlefield."

Li Qian called Qi Yukun, Su Lun, and Ning Hao who were idle, and worked together to help him conceive the timeline and plot trend of the script.

Anyway, "Detective Chinatown" still has to wait for Wang Baoqiang to come back, which will delay his work for a few days.

After listening to Li Qian's talk about his idea, the three of them, after being astonished as heavenly beings, also reorganized the plot from the beginning.

Regarding the first question of how the male protagonist, who is actually less than six years old and appears to be over 60 years old, can naturally join the ranks of the volunteer army, the three fell into deep thinking.

Qi Yukun first felt that Li Qian's initial conception was too coincidental, and the traces of deliberation were too obvious.

Su Lun didn't think there was any coincidence, she said, "Any plot, no matter it's a coincidence or not, what's more important is whether it will be embarrassing after filming. In "Forrest Gump", Forrest Gump's shrimp boat encountered a storm , All the shrimp fishing boats in that sea area were wiped out, but his second-hand boat was the only one that was safe, and it became the only shrimp fishing boat nearby, which is even more ridiculous."

"That one is the same."

Qi Yukun straightened his glasses and explained, "The initial failure and difficulties of A-Gump and Lieutenant Dan's shrimp fishing business allude to the period of the Great Depression.

The workers are collectively unemployed, there are mourners everywhere, and people who starve to death pile up in mountains. The capitalists do not hesitate to bury the surplus cows on the farm for their own meager profits, and they are unwilling to give some of them to the poor.

And those shrimp boats that competed with Forrest Gump symbolized these capitalists chasing each other for fame and fortune, and also symbolized Mi Lijian's opponent at that time, the polar bear.

A storm came, and after the disaster, it implied that the capitalists and shrimp fishing boats of other powerful countries fell one by one, which also reflected the world history at that time-the disintegration of polar bears.

With the downfall of the capitalists and the disintegration of Mi Lijian’s biggest opponent, A-Gump, who symbolizes Mi Lijian and the people at the bottom, seized the opportunity and went smoothly from the bottom to the top of the people. It also symbolizes the strength and prosperity of Mi Lijian. .

This is the director's realistic description of Mi Lijian's history. If you look at "Forrest Gump" from a historical perspective, you won't find it absurd! "

Li Qian had a headache for no reason, so he asked them to talk about the design of the plot, and became a god.

"The boss's setting can also have a deeper meaning!" Su Lun disagreed with Qi Yukun's words, and continued, "When encountering a shipwreck, he was discovered by the volunteers who rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible. When we encounter any difficulties, the people's soldiers, or the government, will appear in front of us as soon as possible to help tide over the difficulties!"

Ning Hao on the side spoke out at this time, "It is indeed possible to say that, but it is still a bit far-fetched. The army has a military order to go to the battlefield. It is not that Liu Bei led the people to escape in the Three Kingdoms. It is entirely possible to place the hero in the homes of the people on the road. Still need a good reason."

To be honest, Ning Hao was shocked when Li Qian finished talking about his idea.

Although it's just an idea and the script hasn't come out yet, it can already be predicted that Li Qian's romance film "Rejuvenation" will definitely be another classic, and it won't be worse than "The Truman Show".

This is also in line with Ning Hao's understanding of Li Qian. Li Qian should have come up with a script of this level, not just the level of "Detective Chinatown", which is very good.

With a span of 70 years and the entire history since the founding of the Republic, such a thick and epic romance made him think about it all the time.

"I don't think it's a problem to be rescued by the volunteer army after the shipwreck. From a geographical point of view, it's completely feasible. The only problem is how to stay in the team." Ning Hao continued.

Qi Yukun also nodded, "It's not reasonable to stay in the cooking class. In fact, they eat dry food during wartime."

"Since you want to participate in the war, there are only soldiers in the army." Su Lun fell into deep thought.

Li Qian's eyes lit up, "There is another kind of person, who is indispensable in the army, must have, and they are rushing to get it."

The three of them were stunned at the same time, and suddenly said, "A doctor?"

"That's right, even on the battlefield, doctors, or medical soldiers are needed." Li Qian laughed.

"But with a body of more than 60 years old and a mental age of less than 6 years old, the identity of a doctor is even more unreasonable."

"It doesn't have to be a doctor. The medical soldiers of that era basically did three things, compressing hemostatic bandages to fix the fracture, giving painkillers and spraying antibiotic powder, and carrying stretchers to comfort the wounded. , Painkillers and antibiotic powders are not enough.”

"That is to say, needles and bandages are used to stop the bleeding, but ordinary people don't know how to do this."

"At that time in 45, many of the orphanages and nursing homes in Shanghai were run by churches. Priests usually ordered simple first aid methods. Suppose the hero fell and was injured once when he was learning to walk. The priest gave him When bandaging, I casually mentioned some issues to pay attention to when bandaging." Li Qian said.

A priest is a Catholic job, and a Christian is generally a priest. Basically, everyone who plays games knows that a priest is the one who heals and restores blood.

"Is it not good to deliberately portray the priests of the church in a positive way?" Su Lun was a little suspicious.

Li Qian shook his head, "Everything has two sides, it's okay for a priest who heals and saves people to speak positively, and at the same time there must be priests who talk big, so when the hero stands up, satirize this kind of person.

The nursing home is run by the church, and the woman who adopted the male protagonist works in the nursing home and also believes in religion. She prayed to the Lord for the protagonist, and asked another priest in the church who is obviously a liar to bless him.

When the protagonist got out of the wheelchair and fell to the ground, the deceitful priest stopped others from helping him, but shouted "In the name of the Lord, stand up."

At this time, the protagonist suddenly has some kind of power and miraculously stands up. At the same time, the liar priest suddenly dies. "

Qi Yukun smiled and said, "The male protagonist can stand up. This is the inevitable growth. The sudden death of the priest shows that it is not the Lord's credit, but his own willpower and courage. Otherwise, the priest would not die inexplicably. The Lord will bless him."

Su Lun couldn't help laughing, "This satire on the church is too straightforward."

"How can this be ironic?"
