Chapter 1,499 Respect is more important than love and compassion
The original version of "The Intouchables" was adapted from the true incident of a paralyzed rich man in France.
Although sometimes it does not have a particularly big impact on whether a movie is about real-life events, but it also depends on the subject matter.
If a movie with a theme like "The Intouchables" is adapted from real events, the effect will definitely be much better.
For this reason, Li Yi came up with the idea of visiting this neighbor.
Here, it is relatively normal for people who have just moved here to visit their neighbors. Of course, because this neighbor is quite special, Xu Nannan and Li Yicai did not go there. In fact, Xu Nannan also got the news from other communities.
The neighbors got it from their mouths.
Human beings cannot escape the fact that they like to listen to gossip.
In fact, the reason why Li Yi likes the story "Untouchable" is entirely because this story can be said to be about two people from completely different worlds. The differences in education, knowledge, habits, etc. cause plot conflicts and jokes; and the influence of each other
And assimilation is the touching part. For Philip, sometimes what is needed is not necessarily careful service, but to be treated without discrimination like ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, we are actually discussing one point, that is, what disabled people need is not pity or sympathy, but an equal vision towards ordinary people.
But it's easy to say, but really difficult to do.
Because even for Li Yi himself, to be honest, if you ask him to visit this neighbor, it will be difficult for him to completely forget that the neighbor is a disabled or paralyzed person.
This is the fact that many people feel that it is disrespectful to the other person if they do not regard the other person as a disabled person.
Yes, there are really many people who think this way.
Of course, Li Yi has not done much research on the psychology of people with disabilities. Therefore, if he really wants to make this movie, he will definitely need to visit some special groups to feel their inner thoughts.
.
"Going to visit Mr. Phils?" Xu Nannan looked at Li Yi in surprise.
Li Yi nodded and said: "I think his story is very suitable to be adapted into a movie. Of course, you need to meet the other person in person to do it."
"But, we don't know each other, and I heard that Mr. Phils has a bad temper. Isn't that too presumptuous?" Xu Nannan frowned slightly.
"Probably not. In fact, what do you think a person like Mr. Phils needs most?" Li Yi looked at Xu Nannan out of curiosity and asked.
"This... equal treatment?" Xu Nannan was not stupid, and she immediately recognized the voice of Li Yi's words.
Li Yi nodded and said: "So, if you are a normal ordinary person, then naturally you also want normal social interaction! For this reason, you are worried that it will be a bit presumptuous, I think it is unnecessary!"
For people like Phils, it can be said that many people think that his temper has become weird. They just think that he changed his temper after suffering a physical problem or being hit. But in fact?
This is indeed one reason, but the other reason is that he can't stand the other people's eyes, or sympathy, or pity, which may not be necessary for him.
What he didn't want to see.
What he hopes even more may be like Philip in "The Intouchables", he just hopes that everyone can forget that he is a disabled person, forget that he is paralyzed, and treat him as an ordinary person.
When people meet people like him, they always want to help each other inadvertently. This is naturally out of good intentions, but as everyone knows, this may not be what the other person wants.
And don’t people like him like to socialize? The answer is no. He longs to still be a normal person, so naturally he also longs for the social interaction of normal people, and longs for people who can understand him.
Therefore, Li Yi really doesn't think Xu Nannan's worries are a problem.
However, although he decided to visit this person, it was impossible for Li Yi to come to the door rashly. He planned to write the story script of "The Intouchable" first, and then take it directly to the other party to take a look.
.
In fact, Li Yi doesn't need to make it so complicated. After all, "Untouchable" does not require the other party's authorization. Although the story itself is somewhat similar to the other party, in fact, it is completely different.
The main reason is that the golden finger is triggered by the other party's affairs, so Li Yi still hopes to get in touch with him.
At the same time, this is also a good prototype character. Although the original movie is used as a reference, if we can have a deeper understanding of what people like Phils think in real reality, what will they think of Li Yi?
The filming of the movie was of great help.
Li Yi quickly wrote the story script of "The Intouchables", and then together with Xu Nannan, they prepared to visit Phils with a small gift.
However, I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but when the two came to Phil's mansion, they found that it seemed that they had arrived at the wrong time.
Because right now, there is a group of people waiting for an interview. What is the interview for?
Naturally, it was the nurse, the nurse who accompanied Phils.
However, this actually surprised Li Yi, because in the movie "The Intouchables", it also starts with an interview.
It's a pity that Li Yi scanned the people waiting for the interview, but he didn't find any applicants like Desis in the movie. Thinking about it, it couldn't be such a coincidence.
"Mr. Li, Mrs. Li, please come this way!" said Phils' housekeeper.
"Can we go see Mr. Phils's interview?" Li Yi suddenly asked presumptuously.
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect that Li Yi would suddenly make such a presumptuous request.
"Sorry, I need to ask Mr. Phils!" Although the housekeeper was a little surprised, she still said gracefully.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Of course!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Isn't that too presumptuous?" Xu Nannan asked after the butler went to ask Phils for instructions.
"There are some, but I'm very curious. I think Mr. Phils won't blame me." Li Yi said with a smile. He also knew that his request was indeed a bit presumptuous as they were strangers to each other, but he was indeed a little curious about the real scene.
What's going on, that's why I made such a request.
On the other side, Phils was a little stunned when he heard the housekeeper's words: "Li? That miracle director?"
"Yes, sir!" replied the housekeeper.
"Ask him to come over!" said Phils.
Soon, the housekeeper walked out and invited Li Yi and Xu Nannan to where the interview was taking place.
It was the first time that Li Yi met Phils, a wealthy man who was said to be from a British aristocracy.
It has to be said that although Phils was in a wheelchair and paralyzed from the neck down and could not move, his first impression on Li Yi was still very good.
how to say?
According to Hua Guo, that is, he is full of poetry and calligraphy. Phils sits in a very upright posture and always has a faint smile on his face.
When Li Yi was looking at him, Phils was also looking at Li Yi curiously.
Of course he knows Li Yi, a director hailed as a "miracle" by Hollywood.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Phils! I'm Li Yi, I just moved here! This is my wife..." Li Yi smiled and said hello.
"I know you, but I didn't expect that I would become a neighbor with the director of Miracle!" Phils did not have a bad temper as rumored. Of course, maybe his bad temper was not so direct.
In fact, Li Yi was a little curious. What would it be like for a seemingly well-educated person like Phils to get angry?
It was just a momentary thought!
"You seem surprised?" Phils seemed to notice Li Yi's unexpected reaction and asked with a smile.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, it is different from the rumored Mr. Phils."
"Oh? What's the rumor about me?" Phils seemed a little curious.
Obviously, it is difficult for outside rumors to reach Phils’ ears.
"Well... I say your temper is a bit bad, but to be honest, I can't tell at all." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Actually, I do have a bad temper. The rumors are not wrong." Phils also said with a smile.
Li Yi shook his head and said: "To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine what a person like you would be like when he has a bad temper. Sorry, my words are a bit..."
"It's okay! People outside have been waiting for a while, maybe we can talk later?" Phils smiled and shook his head, then said.
"Of course! Do you mind if I'm here?" Li Yi asked.
"Of course!" Phils said.
Soon the first interviewer walked in. He was well-dressed and about thirty years old.
From his self-introduction, Li Yi knew that this person had rich experience as a private escort, and he also had many certificates. It was obvious that he was indeed a man of real ability.
Li Yi has been observing Phils's reaction, and he found that Phils has been acting calm.
From the outside it is impossible to tell what he is thinking.
Soon the first one left, and Phils suddenly turned to Li Yi and asked: "Li, what do you think of Mr. Arenas?"
Li Yi was a little surprised that Phils actually asked himself.
You must know that this is to recruit a caregiver to accompany him, but Li Yi still said: "This is an experienced caregiver. In terms of quality, he is quite good, but I don't think you will choose him."
"Oh? How can you see it?" Phils was a little curious.
"Because the way he looked at you, Mr. Phils, was full of sympathy and pity!" Li Yi said.
"Isn't this bad?" Phils said still with a faint smile.
"Maybe it should be okay for other people? But Mr. Phils, you obviously don't like it," Li Yi said.
"Because maybe other disabled people like Phils would like to be accompanied by such an experienced, compassionate and compassionate person, but Mr. Phils does not need such a person." Li Yi continued.
A touch of surprise finally appeared on Phils Gujing Bubo's face.
He also looked a little surprised when he looked at Li Yi.
But he didn't say anything, but continued the interview, and quickly one applicant after another came in, went out, came in and went out.
I have to say that the charm of money is still very powerful.
Although Phils is paralyzed, he has a lot of money. If he wants to hire a escort this time, he must have paid a very high price. It can be said that these people are all elites in this industry, and some of them even paid for it.
Some celebrities have worked there.
And it's not just a superficial job, it all requires a certain amount of experience and ability.
But the result was just as Li Yi thought, none of these people could satisfy him.
"Actually, I took the liberty to come here this time because I heard about you, Mr. Phils. It happens to be very similar to the story of a new film I prepared, so I came here specifically to disturb Mr. Phils." After all the candidates have finished their interviews.
, Li Yi then spoke.
"Oh?" Phils was a little surprised.
Li Yi took out the story script of "The Intouchable" and put it in front of Phils.
The housekeeper next to her picked up the script, opened it, and placed it on the shelf in front of Phils' wheelchair for Phils to read.
Li Yi did not disturb Phils. At the beginning, Phils still looked indifferent, but soon his face finally showed an expression of surprise, surprise, and astonishment!
He couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Li Yi.
At this time, his mood was not calm at all. Li Yi gave him a story script, which was not very detailed, just a rough outline.
There are definitely no lines or anything like that. It can be said that this is more like a synopsis of the story.
But even this still shocked Phils, because he discovered that he was almost exactly the same as the man named Philip in the story.
The key is, even the mentality is exactly the same. He suddenly thought of what Li Yi said before. At this moment, he finally understood why Li Yi said that.
He himself was completely involved in this story, and even had a desire in his heart. He longed to have a friend and confidant like Desis in the story!
Unfortunately, he searched for a long time and could not find such a person.
He was once a nobleman and a rich man. Even though he is disabled and paralyzed now, he still doesn't want to be looked at with pity or sympathy. What he hopes even more is that people don't regard him as a special disability.
People who treat others hope to be the kind of people who can get along with each other as equals.
Perhaps the previous applicants were indeed very capable in the professional field and had very rich resumes. Some of them had even served rich people who were more famous and wealthy than him, but he didn't like them.
Because each of them looks at him with sympathy or pity. Yes, this is indeed the quality and love that people like them should have, but it is a pity that he does not need it and does not want it!
In fact, indiscriminate sympathy and pity are the same as contempt, what they need is respect!
