Chapter 528: Section Chief Jia also said yes

"Yan Gechen: Director Li's new film script is very good, in my opinion, this is a story that can win awards."

"Zhang Yimou: It's very exciting, I have benefited a lot from communicating with Director Li."

"Zhang Mo: Director Li's new movie will start filming, and I will be an assistant director."

"1937" participated in the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor, and Huang Xiaoming is expected to win another award."

"Huaxia Partner" has passed the review and will be officially launched soon."

"Zodiac" is about to start shooting in France, and Cheng Long said that the script has been carefully crafted and can stand up to scrutiny.

"Thai Embarrassment" is about to start filming in Telander, and Xu Zheng is full of confidence."

"Lee Shengyao's new film is still going to hit the Cannes Film Festival, and he wants to win the Palme d'Or again."

……

Lao Mouzi, Yan Geyan, and Zhang Mo came to visit Li Shengyao and watched the script of "Parasite", and the three of them spoke very highly of this script.

Later, a reporter inquired, and they all gave a very high evaluation.

The media followed up and boasted that Lee Shengyao's new movie had not yet started and the selection of actors had not yet begun, but it had received extremely high attention.

Lee didn't say much about this, and he doesn't have the idea of hyping "Parasite" for the time being.

However, it has been highly recognized by Lao Mouzi and Yan Gechen, and it has still attracted the curiosity of many people.

Section Chief Jia is one of them, and in the afternoon of this day, Section Chief Jia and Zhao Tao came to Li Shengyao's house, and then proposed the idea of watching the script.

Li Shengyao did not refuse, and took out the script to show Section Chief Jia.

Since "Legend of the Sea", Chief Jia has actually fallen into a creative bottleneck, and many film critics think that Chief Jia's films can be summed up as the lives of young people in small towns under the great changes in society, and his films can't escape this category.

Although this is true, a high-minded and arrogant person like Chief Jia is naturally unwilling to be tied down and labeled.

In the last two years, he has made two short films, and then he is mainly an executive producer.

For example, "Hello, Mr. Tree" is a movie he produces, and it can be seen that he is actually seeking change.

Recently, a lot of news has been praising Lee Shengyao's new movie script, and Chief Jia was curious, so he wanted to come over and see if he could get inspiration.

Li Shengyao gave him the script, and Jia Zhangke sat on the stone bench and watched it quietly.

The sky was overcast, with the occasional few small birds skimming by.

The wind from the north hung whirling, raising a few fallen leaves.

Jia Zhangke frowned and looked at the script, first surprised, then emotional, and finally admired and bitter.

The smell of autumn is somewhat bitter.

This is what Chief Jia has just discovered.

is also a person who has received nine years of compulsory education, why is Director Li so good, why can't he think of such a movie?

"Director Li, this script is fantastic."

Jia Kechang has always dressed more casually, and it is the same today, a plain jacket, with a pair of slacks, and a pair of leather shoes.

Zhao Tao's style is similar to that of Jia Kechang, with a simple thin jacket and jeans, which is very life-like.

When the two of them first came, their faces were very good, and they could see that they were in a very relaxed mood.

At this time, Zhao Tao was holding a teacup, smiling, still comfortable, but Section Chief Jia had a bitter face.

He really hit it.

He won the Venice Golden Lion Award before, and he was full of spirit, and felt that Lao Mouzi and others had a first-mover advantage, and there was no gap between him and them.

After all, Lao Mouzi shoots the countryside, and he shoots the small town, there is no difference, they are all for foreigners to see the suffering of the Chinese people.

However, the rise of Li Shengyao made him see some things he didn't want to admit, that is, although they all won the award, there was still a gap.

"1937" is a pseudo-one-shot to the end, stunning the world film industry, film critics continue to praise it, and the official media is also very recognized.

Li Shengyao did not shoot those poor, unbearable, and evil of human nature, and he was still able to impress the Cannes judges.

And the script of "Parasite" he just saw, although it is a story about the poor and the rich, does not specifically refer to China, and it is not a film that depicts the dark side of the mainland to win the love of Europeans.

That's really rare.

Li Shengyao smiled and said some humble words.

Zhao Tao was curious, "Lao Jia, what's so good about this script?"

Chief Jia thought for a while, and then said: "The first point is the excellent character portrayal, which is very good. ”

The character portrayal of "Parasite" can definitely rank among the top five movies after the millennium.

Every character has a superficial side, a deep side, and a side of drastic emotional changes.

"The second point is that it's full of dramatic tension, and the story is very exciting."

The family of the male protagonist of "Parasite" can be said to have experienced ups and downs, especially the rich man who travels with his wife and children, and the hero's family is like the owner of the villa, enjoying the luxurious life of the villa, at that moment they seem to have really become a character of high society.

However, at first, it was the former domestic helper who came back and saw through their plan.

Then the rich family returned, and they hid in embarrassment.

When they finally returned home, they found that the dilapidated home had been flooded and feces was splashed everywhere.

In terms of story structure, it can be said that it is full of tension and the dramatic effect is very strong.

"The third point is the core of a wonderful story."

"Parasite" tells an absurd story on the surface, as if criticizing the poor and praising the rich, but in fact it tells about the huge gulf between the poor and the rich, the miserable world after the class solidification.

The rich can't understand the poor, the poor can't understand the rich, the same scene, but in their eyes it's a different thing, the contradiction is exciting, and it can detonate at any time.

"The fourth point is full of speculation, after director Chen Kaige, I haven't seen such a movie for a long time."

Kai Zige's "Yellow Earth" and "Singing While Walking" are definitely underrated films, both of which are full of speculative and critical spirit.

The same is true of "Parasite", which is not only a social phenomenon, but also speculative and critical.

The actor's family is obviously very smart, the actor is an old driver, his wife is a shot put player, his son is very good at English, and his daughter is talented in painting, why is he so hard?

If you want to live a better life, can you really only climb up?

Even if it's a parasite, even if it's a poor ghost, it's just as human, dignified, and has a bottom line.

What is the taste of the poor?

These are all questions raised by the director.

"Fifth, this is a very scary movie."

"Parasite" tells the story of two families parasitizing in a rich family, not only the male protagonist's family, but also the former domestic helper's family, both of which are peeking into the life of the rich family.

In such a situation, is the glamorous rich family really that beautiful?

At the end of the movie, the actor was not caught after killing someone, but sneaked into the basement and started the next round of parasitism.

Zhao Tao didn't understand much, but she understood Jia Zhangke, and chuckled when she heard this, "Then do you have any inspiration?"

Chief Jia rolled his eyes angrily, creation is a very private thing, it is a thing that requires talent, where is it so easy.

He thought for a while, and then said to Li Shengyao: "Director Li, if you have any good stories and you don't want to shoot them yourself, you can show me." ”

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, "No problem." ”

Section Chief Jia looked at Li Shengyao's young face with envy in his heart.

Director Li is so young and still in the creative period, and he seems to be starting to decline.
