Chapter 118: Regret [Parasite]

Wang Baoqiang quickly read through the script and then put it aside. The black comedy movie was very Ning Hao's style and should have been imitated by a young director.

The script cannot be said to be bad. It is difficult to control the script of a comedy movie because you don’t know whether the audience will accept it. The high box office will be too high to scare people to death, and the success will be scary to death.

He will look at the TV series and movies ahead before making a decision.

The TV series "Forward for New China" and "Big Eater", "Forward for New China" are important supporting roles, and the crews are very good.

[Big Eater] was given supporting roles and the cast and crew were average, but the pay was high!

"How about it? Choose a movie or a TV series." Wang Baoqiang turned the last page and his agent asked impatiently.

"TV series!" Wang Baoqiang said decisively. Although it is a pity to lose a movie, the risk of the small crew's capital chain being broken is also very high. If you don't steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.

The agent grinned, waiting so long to hear the answer he wanted.

"Okay." The agent nodded, stood up, and said calmly, "I'm going to reject Director Lin Gao now."

"Wait!" Wang Baoqiang shouted to stop the agent who was about to go out, "What did you just say?!"

"Reject Director Lin Gao." The manager's eyes narrowed, "Wang Baoqiang, you may be the first person in the industry to reject Director Lin. You want to be famous~"

Wang Baoqiang rubbed his hands in excitement: "Director Lin sent me a script? That is Director Lin's script!"

The agent nodded: "Yes, you have been spotted by Director Lin. Do you still choose TV series now?"

"Movie! It has to be a movie!!!"

There must be someone in the entertainment industry who will reject Director Lin, but it is definitely not Wang Baoqiang. He cannot resist Director Lin's charm.

……

After Wang Baoqiang agreed to star, Lin Gao informed him to start filming in September.

In mid-August, he was busy with Parasite’s offline road show.

Parasite is scheduled to be released on August [-]th, catching up with the end of the summer season. There are also five movies released on that day, one Schwarzenegger's "The Expendables", four domestically produced "Expo", "The Cataclysm", "The Expendables" Yangzhou Lunping of National Players], [Secrets of Boxers].

[The Expendables] is considered a strong opponent, while the remaining four films are average and not in direct competition.

Magic City International Cinema, [Parasite] premiere scene.

Lin Gao, Zhang Songwen, Hai Qing, Zhao Wenqi... said hello one by one.

Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli are both here. Liu Yifei is wearing a black and white striped dress, youthful and cute, and Liu Xiaoli is wearing a silk dress, gentle and elegant, full of feminine charm.

Liu Xiaoli looked at Lin Gao with satisfaction. He was young and very powerful, standing in the crowd and shining like a sun.

She also watched the video that was circulated on the Internet some time ago. What she focused on was that after the 7000 million filming was completed, she would get another 7000 million!
7000 million plus 7000 million is 4000 million!
Who can not like a son-in-law with 4000 million?

Anyway, Liu Xiaoli can’t do it.

Love it, love it!
"Xiao Lin, you have been working very hard recently. You look like you are losing weight. You should pay attention to your health." Liu Xiaoli said with concern.

Liu Yifei's smile froze on her face and she looked at Liu Xiaoli with resentment.

Mom, you stole my lines!You finished speaking, what did I say?
Lin Gao thanked Liu Xiaoli for her concern and politely replied: "Aunt Liu is much younger than last time in Cannes. She is growing in reverse. The longer she gets, the more beautiful she becomes."

"Really? No..." Liu Xiaoli, who said no, covered her face and smiled happily.

The two exchanged business blows for five or six minutes, and Liu Yifei couldn't find a chance to interrupt.

After Lin Gao left, Liu Xiaoli taught Liu Yifei with a smile on her face: "Did you hear the conversation between mother and Lin Gao just now? Learn from it. When the time comes, you will be snatched away by the female goblins in the entertainment industry. Some of you will cry!"

Have you given me a chance to perform?Liu Yifei pursed her lips and said unhappily: "What else should I learn? Why didn't you step in and help me get it done?"

"Tear your mouth off for talking nonsense."

"slightly"

Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue in a funny way.

At the premiere of "Parasite", the audience was packed with reporters and Lin Gao's celebrity acquaintances.

A reporter from Sina Media asked: "Director Lin, there are five movies released in the same period. Are you confident that you will win next week?"

Lin Gao: "Everyone should know that Parasite is a literary film, not a commercial film, and its performance at the box office will be much worse."

The reporters at the scene looked disappointed. This is not Director Lin’s style!Director Lin has also become low-key?
Everyone also understands that after all, it is very disadvantageous to compete head-on with the Hollywood superstar, Schwarzenegger's "The Expendables".

Sohu reporter asked: "Director Lin, what are your thoughts on the film industrialization issue that has been making waves on the Internet some time ago?"

In the end, the reporter asked the core question today. Lin Gao has never responded directly to this question.

Off the stage, Liu Xiaoli secretly scolded reporters for talking too much. It was difficult to respond to this question. Both positive and negative responses would be met with backlash.

Lin held the microphone high, smiled and said, "I regret filming Parasite."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned. Liu Yifei looked at Brother Lin in surprise, "Parasite" helped Brother Lin get the Palme d'Or!

Is Brother Lin confused by the reporters?
Lin Gao continued: "If I hadn't made Parasite, I wouldn't have won the Palme d'Or. If I hadn't won the Palme d'Or, I wouldn't have had any pressure. I wouldn't have to take on the responsibility of promoting the Chinese film and television industry."

"The happiest time for me is when I go to the set every day."

"Although I had no money at that time, I was very happy and joyful."

Everyone at the scene was stunned, this was too pretentious!
So angry!
I really want to go up and punch him twice.

Liu Yifei tried her best to purse her lips, reminding herself not to smile, don't smile, it will show teeth!

No!

Can't help it! !
so funny! ! !

Smiling toothily.

It took the reporters at the scene a long time to realize that Director Lin’s quotations had been updated!Tomorrow will be another online carnival.

After the small goal and facial blindness, Director Lin regretted winning the Palme d'Or!
The reporters’ questions afterward were very perfunctory, and they all wanted to go back and write out the report about their regrets about filming [Parasite] and publish it first.

After half an hour, the interview ended.

The premiere ceremony of [Parasite] officially began, and the first batch of fans lined up to enter the venue.

Zhao Ming was one of the first fans to enter the theater. He is a staunch critic of Lin Gao's lack of talent. How can a director like Wei Wei make a good movie?

It’s just Chen Kaige again!

He didn't believe Lin Gao's statement about expanding the boundaries of film. It was all nonsense from public relations!

But he couldn’t find an angle to spray without looking at [Parasite], so here he is, one of the first batch!
The lights went out and the big screen flashed.

"coming"

Zhao Ming gathered his thoughts, put on his "mean" eyes, and prepared the Palme d'Or work for trial.
