The creation of the story of "Broken Bridge" originally originated from the producer and screenwriter and producer of the producer Li Yu in 2019 to explore another work "Rabbit Violence" that they produced by Li Yu. Be a type of crime type of a female revenge. Although as Chengdu, in fact, there are still many places in Sichuan, and I have not been there. I just like Li Yu in Panzhihua to explore the class, so I temporarily decided to spend three days to run for one time. Tour in Sichuan. "Subsequently, the two went to Ya'an, Dazhou, Nanchong and other places for film collection, and decided to shoot in Sichuan. After returning to Beijing, Fang Li started creating the script based on Li Yu's idea. In February 2020, the script was formed and named "Broken Bridge".

Dialogue: Sincere and heart -minded works can move the audience

Sichuan has a unique humanities and geography, suitable for filming of movies

Reporter: You have created a lot of excellent realistic works. What kind of works do you think can be called real realist themes?

Fang Li: The theme of realism is not magical and sci -fi. It reflects today's era, realistic, all kinds of positive, negative sadness and joy, joy and sorrow, and individuals, families, families The interpersonal relationships of society, as well as various phenomena in society, are about today's era, today's society. In the excavation of real life, creators can choose to make movement, reflection, or critical creation.

Reporter: After a work comes out, there will be a positive and negative evaluation. How do you think of the evaluation controversy of your work?

Fang Li: Each of our audience is an independent individual. Everyone's taste, life experience, and emotional model are not exactly the same, so there are tens of millions of interpretation of a movie. There is no way to be unified in this comment, just to say that each work may have a statistical trend, most of them are praised or negative. The comments must be a variety of people, because the audience are different people with a variety of personality, cognition, values, and emotional concepts.

Therefore, for our film creators, just like chefs, just you choose to make Sichuan cuisine this time, and next time you choose Cantonese cuisine, can you satisfy everyone's taste? That must be impossible. Everyone's hobby is changed, and people are even different, so there is no way to find it. But when you are making movies, you feel that you have to make money purely. This is very different, which will also affect the last quality and reputation. Whenever you are more sincere and attentive, it is easier to impress the audience. If you can impress the audience, this work has a certain social value. At the same time, if you still have a rich record of the characteristics of today's era, it may be able to stay and have a certain future value.

Reporter: In terms of box office, the box office may not be so good compared to science fiction and comedy themes than science fiction and comedy themes. What do you think in this regard?

Fang Li: This is very simple. What is your purpose of making a movie? Movies have dual attributes, entertainment business, and culture and art. Do you want to make movies because of the pursuit of culture and art, or you want to please the audience and meet the needs to make an entertainment product. What the creator wants and how he do this balance, if you want to choose what you like, then you may have to give up some that some viewers may not like. Reporter: There are actually some works now. It may be a shell wearing realism or using "realism" as a gimmick to attract the audience, but the content is empty and empty. How do you think of this phenomenon?

Fang Li: At any time, it is divided into high, low, pros and disadvantages, but just say that the evaluation benevolence of each movie see the wise and wisdom, and it is true that the realist shell but there is no substantial content and poor quality. Of course, there are many movies with good quality, so each one is a case and cannot be said to it uniformly.

Reporter: From the creator itself, what kind of work can truly evoke this kind of empathy and resonance of the audience?

Fang Li: It is not to say that it will evoke the empathy of today's audience, and it has future value. Can this generation today be the same as those after the 3rd and 4th generations in the future? It must be different, but if a realistic film work can impress today's audience, at the same time, the era of real, sharp, and sensitively records the era of the creators, then it has future value. Because in the future, if you want to understand today's era, the film is the most convincing. It is a vivid and vivid environment and character wrapped in voices. So we say that the value of a movie has modern value, which is the so -called box office; it has future value and is a future box office, but no one will give you the box office in the future.

Reporter: In the past two years, Chengdu's film and television development has also become better and better. More and more film and television works choose to shoot in Chengdu. Will you still have to shoot works in Chengdu later?

Fang Li: I definitely have it, but I will choose everything suitable for shooting in Sichuan and in Chengdu, because Sichuan eats well, and my hometown is here. Sichuan itself also has very unique humanities and landform conditions for filming. It has both the large plains and the mountains and horizontal mountains of the mountains and mountains. Rich. For example, we often find a lot of different geographical landscapes in a crew in Sichuan, within one or two hundred kilometers. This is an advantage for making movies.

The geographical landforms in Sichuan are very distinctive. Coupled with its simple folk customs, these can show the image texture. As a Sichuan native, I know Sichuan's humanistic landforms very well, so I am more likely to capture some of the unique landscapes here.

Reporter: Will there be a plan to create with Chengdu as the background?

Fang Li: It is possible, because we have a feeling of making movies now, and we won't say where I want to make a movie to make it. It is more about the story of the creative law. The story of moving people is serious, because the movie is always the story of people, and Jing's choice is placed in the second place. Therefore, what we may think first is the human story. When the story is embarrassed, then think about where it happens to the most unique and suitable for it.
