my time as a director

A few years ago, because he publicly criticized Gujarat's plan to build a dam, supported the protests, and called on the local government to resettle immigrants. Because of his overly aggressive attitude, the movie Bassati's Color, which he starred in, was forced to go offline ahead of schedule. Love Destroyer was blocked locally, and the loss was as high as 5 million rupees.

Even though his career and business interests were damaged, he still insisted on his own point of view without apologizing, so he couldn't understand why Li Qian still had to think about the box office all the time since he wanted to make such a sensitive film for Huaguo.

For this King of India, Li Qian still respects him quite a bit, not to mention the wrestling he starred in in his memory, Dad!Waiting for the movie, just a truth-telling TV program broadcast last month that sharply exposed the evils of Indian society is enough to make people pay respect, even though it is a foreigner.

Huge dowries, medical malpractice, forced abortions, free love and arranged marriages, the caste system, and several shows a month are all topics that no one in India dares to criticize publicly.

Li Qian said, "The purpose of making this film is indeed to reflect medical problems, and I even hope that it can play a role in promoting medical reform, but the premise is that the film can cause enough sensation, so that everyone can go to the cinema and watch the film for Moved by it, and then speak out for it.

Individual voices are small, and no one will care about them in a few days. Only when our voices are loud enough and our image is big enough, will our voices be seriously considered.Therefore, to let more people see the movie, be moved by it, and be willing to speak out spontaneously, their voice is much more useful than the movie itself. "

Public opinion is the key point. In fact, there are many heavy reality-themed movies in China, but few people have watched them, let alone someone who speaks out, and no one will notice.

Aamir Khan still shook his head, "I'm sorry, but I still can't accept it. Since I want to shoot, it should be without any impurities and be sincere."

In the truth interview, it was like this. In order to film the first season of the program, he led the team to investigate and collect evidence for three years and traveled all over the country.

...how to say.

If other people like to accept and accept, and don't accept casually, Li Qian doesn't care about other people's voices.

But there is still time now, and the other party is a Cheng Yong-style hero, Li Qian thought for a while and continued patiently, "I have often heard people talking about the truth interview program in India these days, but this It's different from my movie I'm not the god of medicine."

"What's different?" Aamir Khan asked.

"Every topic in the program itself is a huge contradiction in Indian society, and it is a contradiction that all ordinary people will face, so it does not need to be processed, it can cause huge social repercussions, and hundreds of millions of people watch it.

But the topic of traditional Chinese medicine in my movie, although it is also a social ill, is still somewhat distant from most people, because after all, the number of people who can’t afford medicine and die of cancer is a minority, so artistic processing is needed to make it more touching, This can make the audience feel empathy.

Just like when I watch truth-telling interviews, I feel sorry for those topics and those miserable people, but that’s all, because I can’t personally feel their grief. "

There are many more miserable and heavier films than I am not the god of medicine, but who remembers it.

"Is that so? Illegal abortion, huge dowry, medical malpractice, and arranged marriages don't exist in your country." Amir Khan murmured, more aware of how bad the status quo in India is.

As a developing country with a large population and a neighbor, Huaguo is not as bad as domestic and Western propaganda. Huaguo doesn't have these chronic social diseases.

"It's not that it doesn't exist, but it's much better in most places, and it's getting better." Li Qian said.

However, this did not disappoint Aamir Khan. He smiled with his iconic baby face and said, "If I have the chance, I really want to go to Huaguo to have a look."

"Welcome."

"That doesn't bother Director Li. A few days ago, the Congress invited me to testify after the children's surname abuse program aired, so I'll leave first."

Looking at the generous back of the departing Amir Khan and the firm steps under his feet, Li Qian shook his head.

It is absolutely difficult for ordinary people to understand the country of India. The series of social conflicts are not isolated cases or some areas, but happen to all ordinary people every day.

too frightening.

Another point is that they have to pay a high dowry to marry their daughters here, which can even bankrupt some families.

According to statistics, the dowry generally accounts for the total income of the woman's entire family for six years before her daughter can be married off.

Nasty country!

When Amir Khan left, Xu Zheng asked, "Is this Amir Khan who opposed the caste system? He seems to be of a high caste too?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a high-caste Ashraf, and his father's, mother's, and ancestors are all nobles, and they have great influence in India."

"I am also a beneficiary of the caste system, but he criticizes the caste system instead. His relatives and friends should also be of high caste. Don't you hate him?" Xu Zhengqi said.

Aamir Khan clearly criticized the caste system in the interview, saying that I was born in this country because of my helplessness. If the country is still like this after my descendants are born, it is our incompetence.

"Who knows, but Indians seem to have resisted the low-caste people of the caste system. After they were used to upgrade to high-caste, they stopped their resistance and became an exploiting class. Maybe they have social influence. Only caste can change."

It is not uncommon for dragon-slaying warriors to become dragons.

Speaking of this, Li Qian seemed to think of a very interesting movie.

However, while filming, Li Qian waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't worry about India's affairs, in fact, this Aamir Khan is a bit similar to Cheng Yong in the second half, and they both have a heroic image.

Brother Zheng, you should stop having such thoughts in the future. Why is he a beneficiary of the system but criticizes the system instead? Later Cheng Yong is a person whose thinking is far higher than ordinary people, he is a "medicine god". Soul fits the role. "

"I'm just an ordinary person." Xu Zheng smiled wryly and shook his head, saying that he would become that kind of noble and great character, what if the second half of the filming didn't match up.

Li Qian said with a smile, "At least during the shooting time, don't have such vulgar thoughts, pretending that you are a noble person, and fooling yourself!"

Chapter 297 The Faulted Film and Television Circle

After finishing his role in India, Li Qian brought the crew back to China.

I wasn't in a rush to film. Although there was only a two-hour time difference with India, I had a day off to overcome the jet lag. I had to fly all night and arrived in the morning.

After coming out of the airport, he went straight to Huairou. The crew settled down first, and Li Qian also looked at the studio.

The studio is already half completed and can keep up with the shooting progress, so we simply shoot the indoor scenes first, and then go to Jinling for outdoor scenes.

Immediately afterwards, as soon as he came out of Huairou, Guo Fan called him back to the company several times in a row.

"Boss." In the conference room, Guo Fan hurriedly greeted Li Qian.

Li Yang, the director of the original animation, and Zhao Xiaobei, one of the screenwriters, saw Li Qian coming, and quickly got up to say hello.

"Director Li."

"Hello, Director Li."

"All sit down."

Li Qian, who was a little tired, lay down on the chair and sighed, "What's going on, haven't you decided on an actor yet?"

Guo Fan said in distress, "I searched for several times, but there is no actor who perfectly matches."

"The role of Li Xianji was completely created by Li Yang according to yourself. It is not so easy to find an actor who is exactly like you, even if you find two identical leaves." Li Qian shook his head.

Li Yang nodded in response, "What Director Li said is that this role is completely set by myself. I thought it would be easy to find a persistent and ruthless Beijing man, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

"What kind of person can be described in words, and animated movies can also create characters of any image, but the reality is not that simple."

Li Qian asked them, "Are there any other actors?"

"We've discussed it for a long time, but none of them made sense." Guo Fan reported the names of several actors, "Zhang, Fang Zuming, Zhang Mo, Yu Le, Xia Yu."

Li Qian was speechless, he really couldn't choose. First of all, Yu Le's accent can be passed. Although Fang Zuming in the original version also grew up in Xiangjiang, at least there is nothing wrong with Mandarin.

Once on Lu Yu You Dating program, Lu Yu praised Fang Zuming for speaking Mandarin well, and Cheng Long said proudly that this was the only thing he did right.
