Chapter 1,688 Li Yi starts his lecture(2/2)

Li Yi smiled.

"This is a good question! So is a science fiction movie really inappropriate as the first work of a new director? My answer is not necessarily!" Li Yi shook his head.

"First of all, we all know that science fiction is divided into soft science fiction and hard science fiction! It seems that in everyone's imagination, even a low-cost science fiction movie, at least like "The Heartbreaker", requires an investment of several million or less.

Ten million! This is certainly not a small cost.

Secondly, science fiction easily makes people think of special effects. It seems that without special effects, it wouldn’t be science fiction?

So this is actually the problem. It can only mean that your idea is not science fiction enough!"

"Actually, soft science fiction is a very good subject for newcomers to choose! Science fiction movies do not necessarily require special effects, but require large investments! Again, you must first understand that the selling point of a movie is

"Movies tell stories, and the types of stories are all kinds of weird!

Let me give you an example, what do you think is the selling point of "Twelve Angry Men"?" Li Yi asked.

Because among the Twelve Angry Men, he was the weakest at first!

In the end, he peeled off the cocoon step by step, convinced the other jurors step by step, and defeated the strong with the weak!

This is the biggest selling point!”

"Actually, it's the same in movies. In action movies, everyone will often find that the protagonist either can't defeat the villain at the beginning, or for some reason, he can't defeat him, or he is not as strong as his opponent in the first place, but he wins in the end. This

That’s the clearest point of coolness.”

"The same principle is true in "Twelve Angry Men".

What about science fiction? Can dialogue-based movies like "12 Angry Men" put forward a proposition, then discuss it with each other, and ultimately conquer everyone?"

"For example, if you put forward a point of view that everyone thinks is very, very bizarre, very unscientific, and even very brainless, no one will agree with it, even the audience. But if you can use your own logic and explanation,
