The splendid life of Korean entertainment

After watching "Diary of a Crocodile Hiding a Corpse" again, Song Ya finally understood the meaning of Jin Baora's last two hesitant "hehe".

"Crocodile Hidden Corpse Diary" was filmed in 1996, and it was Kim Ki-deok's first film as a director.The content is quite violent, even cruel and disgusting.For Song Ya, who has watched many restricted-rated movies, this movie had an extraordinary impact on her.The film had to be paused many times in the middle, and after running to the balcony to take a deep breath, I reluctantly returned to the house to finish watching the film.

In the midsummer of July, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Song Ya's back.

"Crocodile" is not an animal, but an unemployed young man wandering on the street. He is bullied and bullied by others. He is violent, cruel and inhuman. In turn, he is hurt by even crueler and more inhuman people.

The tone of the film is quite dark. After watching the whole film, Song Ya felt as if she was wandering in hell, unable to see love, hope, or future.The occasional flash of "warmth" is also to pave the way for the huge disaster that is about to appear later.You even think that it is better to have no such warmth, and if you keep being cruel and ruthless, it may not be a bad thing.And that spark of "warmth" will only make movie viewers feel more painful and desperate.

As Kim Ki-deok's debut film, "Crocodile Hidden Corpse Diary" is far from perfect and has many shortcomings.The picture of the film is blurry and rough, the main line is messy, and the content is anticlimactic.

Even so, Song Ya still saw the talent, potential and ambition of director Kim Ki-deok from this very ordinary independent film.

Kim Ki-de was born in 1960. At the age of 30, he went to Paris, France to study fine arts. He returned to China in 92 and began to try script writing.In Song Ya's view, Jin Jide is really a genius worthy of the name.He has never studied screenwriting, but only one year later in 1993, he won the Best Screenplay Award of the Playwriting Education Association for his play "The Painter and the Death Row".

Subsequent "Double Exposure" and "Illegal Crossing" also temporarily won the Best Screenplay Award of the Korean Film Commission in 1994 and 1995 respectively.

In recent years, Kim Ki-de's films have successively participated in European film festivals. Although "City of Beasts" and "□□" have received good evaluations from the European Film Association, they have received very few awards.But to be nominated is already an affirmation of him.

Compared with the fame he gained in Europe, Kim Ki-deok’s films in Korea have received mixed reviews. Those who admire him think that he is a master, a genius, and a film master who will influence South Korea and even the entire Asian film industry in the next 30 years.Critics, on the other hand, believe that the content of the films shot by Kim Ki-de is violent and negative, which magnifies the ugly side of human beings too much and has many negative impacts on society.

Everyone has different opinions on Kim Ki-de, but as far as Song Ya is concerned, Kim Ki-de's movies are acceptable to her.The movie itself is a stage to show personal thoughts and styles.It is not daily life, not the mother-in-law and mother-in-law in the neighborhood. Like literary works, it is a creation that comes from life and is higher than life.

It doesn't have to be heart-warming, it's just a way of expression, it's another world, real and illusory.It magnifies a certain point of human nature infinitely. , you can accept it or not, but there is no need to be on the line.

Movies are free.

After turning off the TV, Song Ya sat alone in the living room for a long time. After watching movies for many years, she seemed to remember who Jin Jide was.

Quentin Jin - director of "Arirang", the best film award in the "Un Certain Regard" section of the 2011 Cannes International Film Festival.No wonder the style of the film is so familiar. If "The Diary of a Crocodile Hidden Corpse" is a little naive, then "Arirang" is already a mature and perfect film in terms of both picture and content.

It turned out to be him!Song Ya suddenly became excited, as if she had discovered a treasure that no one knew about.In fact, Kim Ki-deok in 2003 was indeed a budding new director.And his highly rated films such as "The Empty Room" and "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring" should not have started shooting yet.

Which is to say... oh my!Song Ya's heart started beating wildly.Who said there is no benefit to time travel, the benefit is here!

*****

It has been a month since I saw Kim Ki-deuk in the coffee shop again.He was still sitting where he was last time, with a pen, a few pieces of paper, and a glass of boiled water with ice.Still wearing the black peaked cap, the T-shirt is worn out and sloppy, as if it hasn't been washed for a few days.

Song Ya took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to go up. "Hello, Mr. Kim Ki-deok, I'm an artist under S/M, and my name is Song Yami. Well, this is my resume."

While waiting for the reunion with Jin Jide, Song Ya carefully wrote down her experience since her debut into a paper document.She understands that if she wants to change the status quo, Kim Ki-deok's film is the best choice, but the chances of success are unclear.Although she was used to seeing big scenes, Song Ya was still a little nervous. Jin Ji had to make commercial films. Generally speaking, such directors have weird personalities.To put it bluntly, it is not easy to approach.

Just as Song Ya was worried, after she finished her simple self-introduction, Kim Ki-de didn't show any interest, and his gaze was always fixed on the white paper of writing the script, as if Song Ya was the air.

"That..." Song Ya was very embarrassed. Although she had done self-recommendation in Hollywood before, it was the first time that she bowed her knees in such a humble way.

There is no way, no one is a master, Song Ya usually chooses to "be patient" when it comes to making things difficult for geniuses.

"Then I won't bother you." Seeing that Jin Jide remained silent, Song Ya decided to leave first, otherwise she would make the other party anxious, and she could only sit at home and watch others step onto the international stage. .

Yes, Song Ya has ambitions. Now that she has entered this industry, it would be a lie to say that she doesn't want to be famous.But how to be famous is a question worth thinking about.First of all, Song Ya is not interested in singing, which makes her acting career narrower than others.Secondly, she doesn't like to participate in variety shows. More than a dozen people crowded together chaotically. They are obviously not lovers, but they insist on pretending to be lovers. Although she is an actress, she can act in any movie, even in variety shows. She can't get past this.Intuit "two"!

"Please take your things away."

Just when Song Ya was about to turn around and leave, Jin Jide behind her suddenly spoke.The voice was cold, without any warmth.

"Hello, Director Kim Ki-de, I have always admired you, and I hope you will give me a chance." Song Ya said anxiously and humbly.She didn't think that Jin Jide really wanted to refuse, maybe he was probing, maybe it was a habit, which made him resist the self-recommendation of unfamiliar actors, but she would not give up easily, as the saying goes, stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face.

However, facing Song Ya's longing, Jin Jide only said: "Hurry up and take it away."

Song Ya didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, and continued to plead in a low voice: "Please take a look at my resume. Please!"

"If you don't leave, I'll call the waiter." Jin Jide said blankly.There was a little displeasure in the eyes looking at Song Ya.

Bad start!Song Ya depressedly took back the envelope containing her resume, but she was still not reconciled. Before leaving, she dropped her last self-esteem and put her contact information on the table.Say sincerely: "I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous just now, if I make you feel uncomfortable, I bow to you here and apologize. But please believe me, I really like your movies, you are a very talented Director, I admire you very much, if possible, I hope you will give me a chance, even if there is no salary. Thank you, thank you."

Jin Jide glanced at Song Ya's contact information on the table, this time, he didn't speak.

"Are you crazy?" After learning that Song Ya left the contact information to Kim Ki-de, Jin Baora said very violently.She didn't blame Song Ya for bypassing herself to contact the director privately, but that person turned out to be Kim Ki-de. "The movie he made was disgusting!" Kim Bora said bluntly.Although everyone's surname is "Jin", they are from completely different planets, okay?

For Kim Bora who yearns for a better life like a thousand flower fairies, it is difficult to understand why Song Ya appreciates Kim Gide.Stressed out at work and mentally disturbed?

"Sister Paula, please watch the movie directed by Kim Ki-de from the perspective of appreciating art." Song Ya taught Jin Baola earnestly in a teacher's tone.She knew what Jin Baora was disgusted with, but this is a movie, it's art, you have to appreciate it from a different angle.

"I can't appreciate it." Jin Baora said, "I can't appreciate it in this life, and it will be the same in the next life and the next life. Let me tell you, Masami, there are no more than [-] people in the entire Republic of Korea who can appreciate his movies."

Song Ya rolled her eyes, thinking that Jin Baora's appreciation level in this life is probably limited to the "flirtatious" type of small romance movies.Nothing!It's really playing the piano to the cow.

Jin Baora looked at Song Ya viciously and said, "If you dare to make his movie, I will kill you!"

Here it comes again, Song Ya frowned, and every time the two disagreed, Jin Baora would threaten her with "Kill you!"Can't you be more mature?Replace it with "suicide".

Song Ya didn't tell Jin Baora that if there is a chance to act in Kim Ki-de's movie, she will kill anyone who dares to hinder her!

*****

The days flowed slowly like water.In a blink of an eye, it's August.With the light of "Ouch", Song Ya's recent audition can be described as smooth sailing.The first thing many directors say when they see Song Ya is "Huh? Aren't you that sister Yaya?"

Song Ya used her English real name in the show, mainly to make the children feel kind.

Because "Ouch" is a program of SBS TV station, the fat water does not flow to outsiders, and some small supporting roles in several summer TV dramas that SBS participated in the production basically let Song Ya play.

Song Ya's career has gradually improved. The biggest advantage of children's programs is that they can attract audiences of all ages. Slowly, fans began to leave messages for Song Ya on the SBS TV station's website.There are praises, praises, encouragements, comments and questions.

Every time she sees such a message, Song Ya will carefully write it down. If it is an opinion, she will review it herself, and if she has a problem, she will consult the information or ask a professional.And in the following programs, seriously answer the audience's questions, and express gratitude to the audience for their trust.

With the broadcast of the show, Song Ya's humble and kind personality has been loved by more and more fans.

[Yaya has such a nice personality, our whole family is her fan. 】

[In the past, my mother only liked Li Yingai, but now she likes Yaya again. I asked her who she liked more, and she told me that the two of them felt different to her. Li Yingai is a goddess, beautiful and generous, and superior.And yaya is the girl next door, with a sweet and friendly smile, as if she lives next door, and you can see her when you open the door. 】

[Sister yaya, I am ten years old this year, I have received your signature, thank you, I did not expect you to send a Winnie the Pooh as a birthday present, sister yaya, please rest assured, I will definitely study hard. 】

[Yaya, wait until I grow up to marry you! 】

. . . . . .

【That, I forgot to mention just now, Miss Yaya, I am six years old this year, you must wait for me! 】

Song Ya swiped at the computer screen dumbfounded, lamenting that children mature so early now.

Tong Yan Wuji can't take it seriously, but every time she sees such a message, Song Ya will still feel a little wave in her heart. It is a very innocent feeling, it has nothing to do with love, it just feels very beautiful.

However, after Jin Baora saw these messages, she said something very unsightly. "Are you making a fuss about marrying a daughter-in-law when your hair is all grown? If it's my son, I'll definitely break his legs!"

"You can go, Miss Paula."

Since then, Song Ya refused to share her happiness with Kim Bo Ra.

The author has something to say: Have you seen any movies directed by Kim Ki-duk?I think it is difficult to watch his movies without any mental capacity, because they are too dark. .

I don't know the English name of director Kim Ki-duk, so I made up a Quentin.Are you familiar with Quentin?It is the director and screenwriter of "Inglourious Basterds" and "Django Unchained".
