When conceiving the story, I and my friends started to write biographies and ponder the story.
The protagonist is positioned as a little diaosi. In fact, this is influenced by the diaosi culture in China.
When I went to think about the family of the protagonist, I actually collected fragments from the stories I had thought about and placed them on this person.
(What a film can become in the end, this stage is the embryonic stage. When positioning the film, at this stage, you can see the values, worldviews and aesthetic preferences of the creators.)
So we took a lot of time to think about it for him. A "Why does he want to participate in this talent show?"
We have not thought from the direction of "a family member will be separated from his family for a period of time because of a competition, an opportunity!"
Why did we not think about that line of thinking?
Although we constructed family members for the protagonist, we did not think in the direction of family drama.
Nor can we imagine that a story about a family can win the favor of the current audience in the market.
In the end, the story was still not written, and I couldn't write it down, and I couldn't settle down. It was finally put on hold.
The mind is spent, and the matter is unfinished. Let's think about the way forward.
I don't dare to think about heavy topics now, and I don't know how to talk about them.
I admire people who are able to talk about a heavy topic in a comical way.
There is a feeling passing by—that is the attitude to life left after the precipitation of life.
It was not something that had to be pondered over, but that it flowed out.
A quiet thought in the night sky, something that comes out of the heart.
In this film, the music adds a lot to the film.
Looking at ourselves, how many producers, screenwriters, and directors are interested in musicals? Make music and film one?
We lack too much, life has not been understood, how can we tell a movie that covers all aspects of life? It's no surprise that comedy has become mainstream in the market.
