Chapter 761 movie premiere, highly anticipated!
In the first three days after the opening of the film festival, the shortlisted films were screened, but the popularity was not September 9, it was finally the turn of Chen An’s film "Parasite" to be officially released at the Venice Film Festival!
The entire venue was filled early in the morning.
Countless film critics, media, and movie fans have been waiting for this moment, and it has finally arrived.
Venice arranged the largest venue for the film, large enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
"There are so many people." Zhang Ruojun said blankly as he looked at the scene.
He has been hanging out a lot these days, watching other campaign movies, but none of them are as popular as the current one.
Liang Jiahui didn't feel anything: "After all, it's Director Chen's movie. It's already the favorite to win before it's even released!"
Song Tie followed behind the team. He was delayed in domestic promotions some time ago, so he just came here today and barely made it to the movie premiere.
Chen An brought the main creative team on stage for an introduction, and the movie that the audience had been looking forward to finally began to be shown!
The name of "Parasite" appeared on the screen, with a simple director Chen An's work, and soon kicked off.
Images of the family began to appear on the screen.
Light shines into the house through the not-so-spacious basement windows, and a family is shown in a long shot.
I could only use the free WiFi by running to the toilet.
Someone urinated through the ground-facing window of their home, but the family was angry but dared not say anything.
A family of four makes a living by folding paper boxes.
Even the pungent disinfectant is used to disinfect the house.
Happy people are all alike, but unfortunate people come in many different kinds.
Life was hard, but it was okay. The family was just a little poor, and there was no problem with food.
The not-too-tragic presentation made people feel mediocre, but Chen An's camera language alone made many film critics' eyes light up.
The light and shadow displayed in the basement scene give the composition a full sense of picture.
Although there was no deliberate display of pity, the feeling revealed was very obvious.
If the movie only showed these things, that would be the end of it. Film critics felt that it would not be worthy of being shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.
The story soon took a turn.
The poor son suddenly got an opportunity and obtained a chance from a friend to work as an English tutor in a rich man's home.
By pretending, he got this high-paying job.
The rich lady loved her child very much and gave him another chance.
The poor son then introduced his sister, who, as an unknown person, served as the rich son's painting teacher.
Life seems to be going in the right direction.
But the drama intensifies.
He wanted to get more, so he used conspiracy and trickery to replace the rich dad's original driver with the poor dad's.
Continue to use tricks to drive away the original nanny of the wealthy family, and then replace her with the poor mother.
At this point, all the poor families who were originally unemployed at home have found high-quality jobs.
Just like the name of the movie 'Parasite'.
The entire poor family is parasitic on the rich family!
But conflict soon came, and class was reflected vividly!
Unlike conventional movies, Chen An went the other way and displayed the evil of human nature to the fullest in this poor family!
It doesn't extol the hardships of the poor like other movies do.
The greed within is fully revealed, profoundly and thoroughly!
When the rich family left for the trip, greed was written on the faces of every member of the poor family.
They greedily enjoy everything that does not belong to them like masters.
I also imagine living in this house in the future!
Chen An deliberately showed that the wealthy family had a loving couple, happy children, no extramarital affair, no cold violence, no child abuse, and was generous to the driver and maids.
Put the good side on them.
Then explode all the way!
Make poverty smelly!
It's just a simple action, pinching the nose in disgust, but it can stimulate the poor dad's hidden heart to the deepest extent!
A dramatic conflict broke out! Poor dad took advantage of the chaos and killed rich dad!
Even if he gave him the best job and put his family on the right track, every step was moving in the best direction!
But the deep-seated instinctive resistance to the unacceptable taste of poverty created the tragedy.
Even if he was just unconscious!
The movie ends in a snowy scene.
The poor dad hid in the basement of the mansion, just like the cockroaches in his own basement, forever parasitizing in this mansion.
Like a parasitic bug.
Hide as soon as the light comes on!
The poor son had a dream that he became successful and bought the mansion he had always dreamed of.
But it's just a dream. That day is far away and there may never be a chance again.
A person who failed the college entrance exam twice in a row can only dream unrealistic dreams!
"Clap clap clap!"
Thunderous applause broke out!
It lasted for twenty minutes to express the audience's satisfaction and appreciation for the film, a length rarely seen in the entire Venice.
Amidst the applause, Chen An led everyone onto the stage slowly.
The audience’s likes do not affect the final awarding of the prize, but it is also very gratifying.
Everyone had an irrepressible smile on their face.
He walked onto the stage, waited for the applause to end, and then accepted the interview.
"Chen, after seeing your work, I am more confident that you can win the Golden Lion Award this time!"
The first reporter who stood up didn't ask any questions and couldn't help but praise.
Chen An nodded: "Thank you."
He continued to be interviewed, which lasted for more than an hour.
Everyone was interviewed.
As a highly anticipated work, the ratings from major media magazines came out quickly.
The program brochure scored as high as !
It is the highest rated movie nowadays!
"So high?" Zhang Ruojun was very excited: "Doesn't that mean we are the real favorites?"
Chen An had long stopped worrying about the score and chuckled, "Maybe."
It’s okay if it’s higher. The difficulty is high, and the program brochure can sell more after it is higher.
Even if it doesn't go as planned.
"Film Handbook" also published a review of Chen An's new film in the first place!
'Parasite is a difficult film to talk about.
It resists any easy categorization and is not limited to a single genre. It can be seen as both a genre that is popular with mainstream audiences and a masterpiece of art.
The film's fun and unexpected surprises can be experienced as simply and directly as possible for the audience.
Therefore, it is difficult to find words to describe it.
If there is one word that best sums this up, it's director: Chen An! '
Hollywood Weekly also praised the film: "Perhaps this year's Venice is the most dazzling, a commercial art film has received the warmest welcome in Venice!"
'.'
Wait, as the film continues to screen in Venice for a few more days, the reputation of "Parasite" becomes more and more famous after its release!
It was the focus of everyone's attention before its release, and it is the real favorite to win the championship after its release!
Although it is not the avant-garde film that Venice has always favored, its combination of commerce and art has won praise from most film critics!
Until the end of the closing ceremony, the calls for "Parasite" became louder and louder!
In the eyes of the audience and the media, this time Chen An has the potential to create historical records and miracles!
The red carpet ceremony is about to begin and the award ceremony is coming soon!
Everything is about to be unveiled, and many people are looking forward to whether Chen An can complete this miracle!
