Chapter 119 Don’t let the wealth go to outsiders
In a poverty-stricken and narrow room, a family of four lives in a dirty and messy room, a beginning full of movie language.
Zhao Ming frowned slightly, it was different, completely different from Wei Wei’s feeling.
Can the same director really make such different movies?
Possibly!
Zhao Ming thought of Chen Kaige's "The Promise" and "Farewell My Concubine".
Half an hour later, Zhao Ming took off his "mean" glasses and enjoyed the plot of "Parasite". It was so good!
He wanted to bring domestic directors of literary and artistic films to the scene and let them learn what literary and artistic films are, what camera language, script hooks, and plot rhythm are all about, so that they can stop immersing themselves in the realm of art day after day. YY.
Chinese films have been led astray by these true believers of the new wave.
If you don’t know technology, it is called art.
Which way should the camera be pointed? The audience will fall asleep after watching it for ten minutes, and the audience will not be able to capture the wonderful art?
Look at Lin Gao, who uses attractive audio and video to structure the story and metaphorical themes!
It is also a long shot, and Lin Gaoyuan uses it to reverse the plot, stripping off the pants of the director who only knows how to use long shots for technique.
The photography, lighting, and rhythm are also unique.
Using commercial techniques to make art films is simply unconstrained!
Zhao Ming is convinced, this movie should win the Palme d'Or!
Modu International Hotel, in the private room.
Lin Gao was the host and invited the entire cast of [Parasite] to dinner. During the dinner, everyone was in high spirits, changing cups and cups, and the news that Zhang Songwen joined Lin Gaoxin's crew was exposed.
Hai Qing, Jing Tian, Zhao Wenqi, and Liu Yifei cast envious glances.
Zhao Wenqi said leisurely: "Brother Songwen is lucky enough to be able to join Director Lin's crew."
Zhao Wenqi looked at Lin Gao with resentment, why didn't you choose me? It's because I failed to meet your request...
Jingtian showed longing eyes, wanting...
Zhang Songwen scratched his head, he seemed to have caused trouble for Director Lin.
“There are three male protagonists in the movie, and there are no female characters.” Lin Gao explained.
The girls nodded in relief. They thought Director Lin was going to hire a new actor, so they felt a little uneasy. After hearing the explanation, they put down their worries.
"Director Lin, don't look at me like a woman..."
"I look more like a woman when I take off my clothes."
The second part of Hai Qing's sentence "Actually, I am a man " Before he could finish his teasing, he was interrupted by Lin Gao and started teasing him.
Everyone laughed "hahaha".
The meal was coming to an end, and everyone was chatting in groups of twos and threes.
"Brother Songwen is so lucky. It would be great if Sissi is a man." Liu Yifei said drunkenly, her face was rosy and pink.
Liu Yifei's intention to join the group was too obvious. Lin Gao smiled slightly: "I still need a wife in the movie. Does Sissi want to make a cameo?"
"Really?" Liu Yifei His eyes were bright, but then he turned to worry: "Brother Lin, if you give me the role, others won't be angry, right? I don't want to embarrass Brother Lin."
Lin Gao couldn't help laughing, even though he was so drunk. Don’t forget to show off your tea art.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the side of Liu Yifei's baby face and said: "The fat water should not flow to outsiders."
Liu Yifei covered Lin Gao's face, pouted, and looked at Lin Gao dissatisfied: "Except for my father, no one has ever grabbed my face."
"So..." Lin Gao drawled his voice. , "Am I your second father?"
"Ah! It hurts."
As soon as Lin Gao finished speaking, he received intensive revenge from Liu Yifei, who said angrily while beating him "Brother Lin is talking nonsense and ignoring you."
The two of them were having fun until the end of the meal.
On the second day after [Parasite] was released, Movie Network announced its first-day data. "Parasite was screened in 880 cinemas across the country at 7 pm on August 20. More than 3,700 screenings were held that night, with nearly 300,000 viewers and a box office of 140,000."

"Douban opened with a score of 9.1, and dropped to 8.8 in the morning. Nearly 30,000 people rated it, and more than 5,000 people commented."
Douban comment area:
" I am surprised that literary and artistic films use commercial techniques to tell the difference and opposition between the rich and the poor, and the despair and helplessness of the lower class. ”
"Unlike other literary films, the rich family in "Parasite" did not do anything wrong. It is reasonable to complain about the body odor of the poor. In a critical moment, it is even more heroic to protect the wife and children before leaving the scene. But the film It just incites hatred towards the rich.”
“The great thing about Parasite is that the rich have done nothing wrong, their husbands and wives are loving, their children are kind, there is no cheating, there is no cold violence, there is no child abuse. They are not stingy with drivers or servants, they are really kind and simple, but you can’t help but hate them, hate them, hate them.”
The ultimate literary film lovers also expressed their dissatisfaction, I feel that the movie's metaphors are too obvious, almost equivalent to similes.
The overall reputation is still stable and upward.
Film experts on Weibo predict that "Parasite" will have no problem breaking the 100 million mark at the box office, which will also break the box office record for Chinese literary films.
Lin Gao was shocked when he saw the news. He seemed to have robbed the only title of "Hawthorn Tree Love"!
Lin Gao is glad that he released it more than 20 days earlier than Zhang Yimou, otherwise he would have been nicknamed "beating the old man".
Kyoto New Picture Pictures, General Manager’s Office.
Zhang Weiping looked angry. The publicity hot spot he had worked so hard to come up with for [Hawthorn Tree Love] was just gone!
Originally, there was no money to be made from making literary films, but now we have to face the possibility of losing 10 to 20 million.
Zhang Weiping said to Zhang Yimou who was sitting on the sofa: "I objected to you making literary films from the beginning, but you insist on making them. Now the provincial company is facing unprecedented pressure for publicity!"
Zhang Yimou frowned, what about his partner? Already?
[Three-Gun Shooting Surprise] Suddenly a passionate scene was added, and he agreed. Now he wants to make a literary film, but can’t do it?
“The movie has been made, it’s too late to say anything.” Zhang Yimou said coldly and left.
"Pacha rub"
The glass cup on the table was thrown to the floor by Zhang Weiping.
“Fuck!” Zhang Weiping became angrier as he thought about it, “MD, Chen Kaige didn’t win the award that year, and Lin Gao didn’t know how to make movies. If Lin Gao didn’t make movies, there wouldn’t be all this trouble!”
“It’s all Chen Kaige’s fault!”
……
Chen Kaige’s home in Shangguoque, Xidan.
"A sneeze" "A sneeze"...
On the sofa, Chen Kaige kept sneezing one after another.
Since the end of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the number of times Chen Kaige sneezed has skyrocketed.
"What's wrong with Lao Chen? Do you have a cold?" The graceful beauty Chen Hong asked with concern, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"Hospital! I remembered it when you said hospital. In 1999, the hospital was not big at that time, and the floor was not made of ceramic tiles..." Chen Kaige kept talking around the hospital for more than ten minutes.
Chen Hong didn't feel annoyed and stood there looking at Chen Kaige.
……
Ten o’clock in the morning.
The news of "Parasite" was quietly released on the Internet, and swept all major social platforms half an hour later.
Hot discussion among netizens:
"Director Lin is so damn good at pretending!"
Tai Jiong Gong was changed to Wang Baoqiang.
I don’t seem to have the ability to select actors. I will ask you questions about film and television casting in advance.
Please, everyone! ! !
Kowtow, bang bang bang.
Which two women should the ex guide choose?
Does the protagonist want to get involved? It feels like I'm downgrading myself when I go in.
