Julia in bottomless pit

　　　 The film "bottomless pit" will be released on September 15th. The film won seven nominations at the Shanghai Film Festival Media Awards and finally won the Best Screenplay Award. The genre of "suspense comedy" is quite novel for domestic films, and the narrative style of "plot reversal" is a great test for the director’s skill, and the selection of "grounded gas" stories has high requirements for story details. How to combine these elements harmoniously in a film, "originality" is undoubtedly the core key.

Originality comes from precise details.

　　　 After all, movies are not real life. Most movie stories are fictional. When the story is complicated to a certain extent, there will be many fictional elements and the plot will be very compact. On the other hand, more than one movie with fictional elements will easily appear false, ungrounded and floating in the sky. Jiang Tao, a former journalist, has his own countermeasures. He found some stories in news reports, put in details and let them fall.

　　　 Director Jiang Tao said: "The bottomless pit is not a real case, but a complete fiction. We are cooperating with Sony Pictures and the Hollywood working system in this film, and we have to translate the script for them. When I started writing this story, I collected a lot of information, discussed a lot of starting points, and decided to write a theme involved. However, the application procedure is cumbersome and difficult to operate, so from the lawyer’s point of view, it is written that lawyers are involved in the case, first of all, a civil case, and a criminal case is hidden under the civil case, so that the police don’t have to appear at the beginning, and the civil case lawyer can handle it himself, which can avoid a lot of things. At the beginning of writing, Sha Yi’s role was a barrister, but immediately he felt that the character was very empty, so he later changed to a nobody, that is, the people around us. The life details of the whole story are full, and the movie naturally takes over. "

　　　 In addition, the plot setting also skillfully incorporates some things that happen around us every day, such as urban management and law enforcement, housing quality, the survival pressure of young people, and the entanglement of interests in love. The credibility of the story becomes stronger and stronger with the presentation of these little bits of life.

Originality requires a continuous effort.

　　　 Learning from successful precedents often requires a brainwave, while originality from beginning to end often tests the persistence of the creators. Sha Yi, the star of bottomless pit, said: "I especially understand the difficulty of creation, so I always think that Jiang Tao is a talented director. Sometimes every step is particularly urgent, and sometimes every step may be particularly unsatisfactory, but I think that no matter whether it is smooth or not, as long as you stick to it, the result will be the same in the end. It’s like my role, a role that is not smooth everywhere, has actually achieved a comedy effect, which is also the need of our situation. I enjoyed the process of creating this particularly unhappy lawyer, and I also liked such a character. Because I think little people sometimes need this thing to make the audience like him and sympathize with him. "

　　　 Sha Yi obviously praised the effect of the final film: "Our film is very complicated in both the story itself and the genre characteristics. Because we think that as a commercial film, a single selling point can definitely not meet the different needs of the audience. Our play, whether it is the plot setting, the film elements or the twists and turns of the characters’ fate, and the story of not knowing the truth until the end, is a very important selling point of the film. As a commercial theme, the elements of this play are quite rich, and it is a very worthwhile play. "

Originality can rise to new forces.

　　　 A down-to-earth China story can also be made cool. After that, dozens and hundreds of small-budget movies claimed that they were the next Stone, but only a handful of them were really recognized by the audience. The success of Stone is not only because of "madness", but also because of the creativity of the film — — This is what domestic films lack most. The bottomless pit, which will be released on September 15, may not be a shining star, but it is quite high-profile in insisting on originality. Bottomless pit won the best screenplay award at the Shanghai Film Festival, which means that the judges recognized that the film told a wonderful story. The story is regarded as the soul of a film, which requires both originality and genre, complex and rigorous character relationship and dramatic structure, and efficient narrative means and film rhythm, which is really not something that can be done by talking. The story has always been the weakness of domestic films, but it is precisely the strength of bottomless pit, all of which are based on the serious original spirit.
