snoop, miss

Before I became a website editor, I used to be a somewhat disgusting "paparazzi", or a more moderate entertainment reporter, and now, I still often think of my slightly crazy and even inexplicable entertainment life. , I still remember the words I once engraved in my heart to become an excellent entertainment reporter: "I am on the scene in local entertainment, and I have an attitude in entertainment reporting."
Saying this is not a memory of past life. In my opinion, most of the time, I am reluctant to mention the past. Too much loss and blind obedience have added stimulants that did not belong to that life. In the face of stars, I used all my power to spy on them and get a so-called Valuable news is more important than the original emotional communication between people. For countless nights, I was accompanied by stars, but they never saw my existence. They occasionally saw my footage, where there was a Popular extras.
Spying + Revealing + Making Up + Lies =
I am a failed entertainment journalist, maybe because of this, I once again vented my dissatisfaction openly, if, I mean, if I was still an entertainment journalist and famous , being sought after and followed by people in the circle, I will not, like now, gushing endlessly with a cynical literary sourness.
I don't know why I was thrown into this state again. I tried my best to avoid my former entertainment life, but within ten minutes after watching "Secret Meeting", I couldn't stand it anymore. . For most people, such a movie is very similar to "Dreams Shine Into Reality", one space, two characters, a complex thinking space, the existence, opposition, refutation, and frankness of people. The primitive and simple communication rules have thrown us rhetorical questions about trust, commitment, sincerity and many other friendly rules in survival communication. Faced with this or that kind of questioning, everyone has their own choices.
Well, what is "Secret Meeting"? To put it simply, a reporter meets a star, it's as simple as that. In a two-hour time, the story revolves around the conversation between the reporter and the star step by step... spy, lie, reveal, a reporter wants to get from All the means of getting information from the stars are revealed bit by bit. For me, it is very familiar. It is so familiar that I start to analyze it intentionally or not in the film, how to edit the information after getting the information, and how Let this star's interview become the main talk for everyone after dinner...

In fact, "Secret Meeting" has other meanings besides this. As the first work of the "Three Theos" film project, it is a tribute to the late film director Theo van Gogh. Many people may not Know of a director, great-grandson of artist Vincent van Gogh's brother Theo, murdered for political and religious intolerance, who, before his death, decided to choose three of his own Dutch films , which was remade in English, with New York as the backdrop. And "Secret Meeting" is one of the remakes. Good at using passionate, concise and simple character dialogues, and using highly innovative and low-cost production techniques, Theo van Gogh has a distinctive shooting style, which also brings a strong visual impact to his films. In addition to 2003's original "Secret Meeting", the other two selected works were "06" in 1994 and "Dating with a Stranger" in 1996. For producer Bruce Wise, these two works are passed between men and women. The relationship to enhance the dramatic film can be summed up as a little taste belonging to Theo van Gogh. However, all we can do now is remember.
I look forward to "06" and "Dating with Strangers", just like the surprise when I met "Secret Meeting" unexpectedly. I look forward to the expression of primitive instinct between people and bodies.
When it got dark, people kept their habitual way of life on nights like "Secret Meeting", but snooping and missing belong to me and my past.

Interview quotes

  • Katya: Do you like fishnet stockings, Pierre? Wait. Let me rephrase. Why do you think it is that men like fishnet stockings so much?

    Pierre Peders: They look good on women.

    Katya: Fishnet stockings are a net, and the woman is imprisoned in this net like a fish. Do you get it?

    Pierre Peders: Yeah, and what about high heels?

    Katya: Well, high heels make walking very, very difficult. So you see, nothing would be more attractive to a man than a woman wearing fishnet stockings and high heels because she has trouble walking and she's imprisoned within this net and therefore he thinks she's easy prey. I know everything.

  • Katya: [answering his question] What makes a man attractive? A scar.

    Pierre Peders: Why?

    Katya: Because... most women have one too.
