Magic Modified Huayu

The secretary agreed with this.

In a Qianda Cinema in Beijing.

Director Wei appeared in the last row of a movie theater.

Next to him are his secretary Chen Duling and Guan Xiaotong.

Normally, movie theaters are crowded during the Spring Festival period.

It's hard not to be recognized when Director Wei and his team appear in the cinema.

But there is no problem that money cannot solve.

Director Wei bought all the movie tickets in the last row.

Then they simply wrap themselves up and put on a mask, and no one will pay attention to them.

Director Wei himself has now reduced the time he spends in public and is not easily recognized.

If Guan Xiaotong didn't disguise herself, she would be recognized, but she was wrapped up very tightly.

"Director Zhang and the others are still in another cinema. I'll come over first to meet up with you, Dad. They'll be here soon.

By the way, Dad, why are you here?"

Guan Xiaotong naturally spoke in Director Wei's ear.

So that no one other than the secretary can hear it.

There are still people in the front row.

The movie hadn't started yet, but it would soon.

Director Wei calmly said, "I haven't seen Parasite yet. Before I can help you promote it, I have to see how the finished product turns out."

Guan Xiaotong said confidently: "It's very good. Director Zhang may not be good at making commercial films, but he is definitely a master at making art films."

Director Wei nodded.

He didn't doubt that.

Otherwise, "Parasite" would not have been given to Zhang Yimou.

"Then let's see how you perform."

Guan Xiaotong remains very confident: "Teacher Liang and Teacher Chen were very helpful to me. They both praised my good acting."

"Everyone carries the fancy sedan, so don't take their compliments seriously."

"Director Zhang also praised my performance."

Director Wei chuckled and said, "Don't you want to replace you with Liu Haocun?"

Guan Xiaotong: "...Humph, can Liu Haocun compare with me in background?"

"That's really not possible, you are a princess."

Guan Xiaotong hugged Director Wei's arm and shook it.

"It's the 21st century. What's the point of a princess? My godfather is better than her boss."

Director Wei smiled.

As he laughed, his tone turned strange: "Don't move your hands, there's a camera."

Guan Xiaotong blinked: "Can you take a clear picture?"

"Of course you can. Take it easy."

"Ok."

The little girl was a little disappointed.

She hasn't seen Director Wei for a long time and she wants to rekindle their old friendship.

Although the occasion was a bit lively.

But the more this happens, the more stimulating it is.

Director Wei once again felt deeply moved by the bravery and fearlessness of today's young people.

He is indeed old.

"Okay, let's enjoy the movie."

After the familiar dragon logo appeared, Director Wei focused his attention on the movie "Parasite".

Of course he had seen the film made by Bangzi.

It can't be called stunning, but there's nothing wrong with it either.

And the actors' acting skills are basically impeccable.

As for the plot... the most important thing for art films is the intention and critical reflection; the plot is not particularly important.

Compared to those obscure and confusing art films, the plot of "Parasite" is very simple and friendly.

The film tells the story of a family of four, whose father, Kim Ki-taek, is unemployed and idle all day long, until his positive and motivated eldest son, Kim Ki-woo, comes to the home of the wealthy President Park with a forged diploma to apply for a tutoring position. The two very different families are thus involved in a series of unexpected events.

Kim Ki-taek's family makes a living by folding takeout boxes for a pizza shop. The eldest son, Kim Ki-woo, is the family's livelihood hope, but he has taken the college entrance examination many times and still failed.

Before Kim Ki-woo's classmate went abroad to study, he asked Kim Ki-woo to take over as English tutor for a rich girl, who was Mr. Park's family.

As Kim Ki-woo successfully applied for the job, he found out from his conversation with the hostess, Mrs. Park, that she was kind and simple, and doted on her youngest son. Therefore, he found an opportunity and made up the persona of an art tutor to try to introduce his sister as an art teacher.

The whole family finally moved into Park's house. The son was an English teacher, the daughter was an art teacher, the father drove for the male owner, President Park, and the mother replaced the original housekeeper.

The plot is simple and easy to understand, and no major changes are required for the Chinese translation.

No one in the Jin family needs to change their names.

All you need to do is change the surname of the wealthy businessman family, President Park, played by Chen Daoming, and then change the president to chairman, and it will be an authentic Chinese story.

The original actor who played the male lead Kim Ki-taek in "Parasite" was Korean actor Song Kang-ho. This actor with excellent acting skills has basically won all the Korean film awards, and won the Cannes Best Actor Award in 2022 in the original time and space.

Song Kang-ho's performance in "Parasite" is also impeccable.

It is actually not easy to replace an actor of this level.

But it’s not that difficult.

Liang Jiahui.

The actor with a thousand faces.

Director Wei compared the performances of Song Kang-ho and Liang Jiahui in his mind.

I can't guarantee that the performance will be better.

But he really didn't notice that Liang Jiahui's performance was bad.

He plays the father of a homeless family.

He is the head of the family and has to support his family, but he has no financial ability.

At the same time, he is trying to change the status quo, although his options are very limited.

He had no choice but to adapt himself to these limitations and predicaments, as well as the pressures that were constantly being placed on him.

From being powerless, to being dormant and parasitic, and finally to turning crazy and evil.

Such a role is certainly not easy to play, but it is not beyond Liang Jiahui's ability.

As for Chen Daoming... To be honest, Director Wei feels that Chen Daoming has become lazy after becoming famous, and he didn't interpret many roles with much care. Now his acting skills are not as good as Liang Jiahui's.

But the role given to him in "Parasite" is perfect for him.

Chen Daoming doesn't have to put in much effort to achieve the effect the director wants.

President Park is set to be the CEO of an IT company.

He belongs to the wealthy emerging upper class, is a workaholic, has a beautiful wife, a lovely daughter who is in high school, and an even younger son.

He has an ideal family of four.

President Park doesn't like others crossing the line, nor does he like to smell others' scent.

In summary: This is a typical elitist class, and it is necessary to perform the arrogance of the elitist class that is evident on paper.

Asking Chen Daoming to play an elegant middle-aged elite and also requiring him to perform a sense of arrogance, is this difficult for Chen Daoming?

It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s wasting his talent... Chen Daoming needs to be more restrained in his acting.

If Liang Jiahui and Chen Daoming perform well, it is difficult for this drama to be bad.

So Director Wei only watched half of it and then completely relaxed.

The play was a success.

I can't say it's better than the original, but it's certainly not worse than the original.

As long as the plot doesn't change much and the actors' acting skills don't deteriorate, there's nothing to worry about.

Director Wei had watched the original version in his previous life, so he is no longer very interested in the ending.

At this time, Guan Xiaotong was playing with Director Wei's fingers out of boredom. After all, she had seen it many times.

Seeing Director Wei relax, Guan Xiaotong's eyes lit up, and she whispered in Director Wei's ear again: "Dad, do you want to get a room for an hour?"

Director Wei: “…” Why are young people nowadays so depraved?

distressed.

We must educate them properly.

Chapter 224: Bathroom Stories, Fun People Variety Show

"Parasite" has been aired for more than half, and God knows when the crew will arrive. Director Wei never does things like playing big shots, and he can't let a group of people wait for him.

Moreover, it is difficult to ensure that confidentiality measures are foolproof in a short period of time.

When Director Wei and the female stars check into a hotel room outside, they always make preparations in advance.

Information cannot be leaked casually.

Now is the era of self-media.

Even if Director Wei controls the most public opinion platforms, it will be useless.

If you fail to take confidentiality measures, it is easy to be photographed.

This is not good for others or yourself.

Director Wei has always been a cautious person and will not be controlled by his subordinates.

So… "Don't book a room by the hour, go to the bathroom."

This time it was Guan Xiaotong's turn to be annoyed.

She felt she was still too young.

In terms of variety, I still can't compare to an old man like Director Wei.

Although Director Wei always feels that he is not old.

"No, it's too dangerous."

Guan Xiaotong wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

"It's okay, there are people guarding outside."

"...I really can't. I suddenly remembered that I almost forgot the plot of Parasite. Let's continue enjoying the movie."

"Be good and obey."

"..."

Fifty minutes later.

When Guan Xiaotong came back from outside, Zhang Yimou immediately called her to the front of the stage.

"Xiaotong, you are acting like a big shot, making all of us wait for you."

Of course Zhang Yimou was joking.

Guan Xiaotong also knows it.
