Autumn turns to winter, and the whole peninsula seems to have entered a bone-shaking winter. The New Year has passed quietly, and the "girlfriend gate" has gradually come to the forefront.
At the same time, the work progress of "Parasite" continues to accelerate. As Bong Joon-ho said at the beginning, Lim Sung-hoon's adaptability to the role made the filming work particularly smooth, and it was basically completed a year ago; in the later period of the film, it was because of Lim Sung-hoon and
Bong Joon-ho and Bong Joon-ho came up with ideas and bumped into each other, but after working overtime and staying up late for a long time, they quickly produced a rough cut.
In this period of turmoil for the country's power level, Lin Chengxun completed his work in a low-key manner and paid no attention to the outside world. Even at the engagement party between Jin Huicheng and Choi Minzhen, he only expressed his blessings and complained with a phone call.
The other party finally ordered an urn for his love, and he is waiting to be buried. (I forgot to write about the marriage of Jin Huicheng and Cui Minzhen yesterday!)
It's night, Shilla Hotel.
Lin Sung-hoon and Bong Joon-ho sat opposite each other, neither of them feeling sleepy at all. The wastebasket at the corner of the table was already filled with a lot of scrap notices. This was their consideration for the later editing of "Parasite".
The filming of the movie was almost completed, and only the post-editing work of the movie was left. At this time, Lin Chengxun became even busier. In order to facilitate the post-editing work of the movie, he had to give up flying back to Jeju every night a year ago.
Island, and Bong Joon-ho lived directly in the editing room of Luck Company, focusing on the editing work of "Parasite".
As for today, I just felt that my body was going rancid, so I came to the Shilla Hotel to freshen myself up. They only had time here, and the two of them kept arguing.
For the same movie, it is obviously impossible to take into account the ideas of both the director and the screenwriter.
Lin Sung-hoon and Bong Joon-ho each have their own thoughts and ideas about the movie "Parasite", so the conflict between words is inevitable. Bong Joon-ho has put a lot of effort into his script, and Lin Sung-hoon has also put a lot of effort into this movie.
This book gave great expectations, so after the two of them rejoined the crew after the new year, they quarreled every day and everywhere. This cannot be said to be interference or provocation from one party to the other, but they both have their own thoughts.
Just say it.
At this time, the two had been arguing about a certain picture issue for more than three hours, and a thick stack of rice paper was wasted on the sketch of the camera picture. At this time, they had barely reached a consensus.
For no other reason, Lin Sung-hoon was both a director and an investor, so Bong Joon-ho could only take a step back. He was not angry or resentful, just a little aggrieved.
However, Bong Joon-ho can quite understand Lin Chengxun. After all, the farce in the peninsula's political arena has shocked the world, and according to the peninsula's government's usual behavior, it usually brings out a big figure in the entertainment industry to attract the attention of the people.
At this time, Lin Chengxun really couldn't dim his light no matter how low-key he was, so he really needed an identity, one that had international honors and would be regarded as a hero by the people of the peninsula.
In this way, the Cannes Film Festival in May is crucial. He must make others think that "Parasite" is Lim Sung-hoon's "Parasite" instead of Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" when they see it.
In fact, movies like "Parasite" actually have the theme as their winning point. Without mentioning the specific shooting technology, it first brightly highlights the gap between rich and poor and the social problems of social classes. Secondly,
The hidden thread contains a strong political metaphor.
In addition to the discussion of human nature, what the three major European film festivals love is the deep thought and metaphor of the country and the nation.
So in a sense, "Parasite" can be regarded as a different kind of flattery to those film festival judges. Of course, the script of "Parasite" has been polished by Bong Joon-ho for many years, and it more or less contains the world outside the theme frame.
Exploration, the final ending also uses a dream of Ji Yu, which makes the originally dark ending lose a certain degree of depression and plot tension, giving it a bit of light.
At this moment, Lin Chengxun and Bong Junhao had just finalized the final editing results of a certain plot. They both breathed a long sigh of relief. Everyone was very tired, but their spirits were very high. Otherwise, they would not be here.
We had the opportunity to sleep in a big hotel bed, but they sat together and talked about it.
"How is Xiu'er?"
Bong Joon-ho lit a cigarette for himself in a very unqualified manner, squinted his eyes and asked how the daughter born to Lim Sung-hoon and Kim Tae-hee was doing.
Lin Xiu'er, this is the name Lin Chengxun chose for his eldest daughter against all opinions. It contains Lin Chengxun's expectations for his daughter. Perhaps only everyone in front of the mobile phone screen can understand it.
"It's very smart. When I left Jeju Island, I was already babbling, and I was very beautiful..." There was a warm light hidden in Lin Chengxun's eyes, but it soon dimmed.
"I miss my children so much, why don't we take a flight back to see them?"
"Of course I want to go back; I want to hug my child; I want to feed her the complementary food I made by myself every day; I greedily want that the person she sees when she opens her eyes every morning is me, and the person she sees before she goes to sleep every night
It’s still me; I want father and daughter to sit in the living room and play together; I want her to be happy and happy for the rest of her life; but..."
In the long silence, only the sparks from the cigarette between Bong Joon-ho's fingers proved the passage of time.
"You should be more relaxed. I have talked with my seniors. Anyway..."
The "senior" Bong Joon-ho refers to is Park Chan-wook, who is one of the judges for the main competition unit of this year's Cannes Film Festival.
"I know." Lin Chengxun nodded, then smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. Somehow, when I think of Xiu'er, I can't control my emotions."
"There is nothing to apologize for. As a father, you want to give your children the best. If you are not careful now, you will become infamous on the peninsula and lose control of your emotions."
Bong Joon-ho cried and comforted Lin Chengxun, but in his heart he just said that Lin Chengxun was really stressed these days.
In fact, during this period of time, everyone in the Peninsula entertainment industry was under a lot of pressure. If they were caught with a sore foot if they were not careful, they would be dragged to fill the hole.
"I'm just a little sad. On such a rare night, I would actually sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk with a greasy middle-aged man like you, teacher." Lin Chengxun suddenly smiled and joked.
"Then do you want me to help you call Son Ye Jin, Cheng Yuli, etc.?"
"No, I still have to save my energy to get up early tomorrow morning, go to sleep!"
"roll!"
