Chapter 121: Left-behind Children
As soon as Meng Fanzhu finished speaking, his father thought he understood, and said approvingly: "This is easy to do, the TV station is not bad for money, you can talk to your ninth uncle about these things, how can my precious son's creativity be used for them in vain!" After speaking, he was really afraid that Meng Fanzhu would open his mouth, and said again: "Although their director said that it will cost nothing, if it is really too much, it will not be easy for your ninth uncle to do." After speaking, he seemed to be a little embarrassed and smiled, and his head was suddenly poked by his mother. Dad is like this, friendship is greater than money, that's why he has so many friends, and he is also the idol of Meng Fanzhu's brothers.
"I'll call your ninth uncle, let him come over now, let's have a planning meeting at home, it is estimated that this guy is in a hurry now, I don't know how to suffer!" After speaking, Dad stood up, picked up his mobile phone and dialed out.
Of course, Meng Fanzhu knew that the leader's words only told you his attitude, not in the real sense of the word. This propaganda video has reached the top of 1 million, if you dare to report it and spend 10 million, see if the Commission for Discipline Inspection will talk to you. It's all old rivers and lakes, and I naturally have a mirror in my heart. And what Meng Fanzhu wants is not money, what he wants to do is to launch a public welfare activity of 'paying attention to left-behind children' in the name of the TV station.
In his dream, in 2014, he went on a business trip to Anyang Province and heard the story of Xiaolin, a left-behind child. 9-year-old Kobayashi hanged himself on the day of winter vacation. On this day, he heard the news that his mother would not be returning home for the New Year this year. On this day, there are only 11 days left before the Spring Festival.
Meng Fanzhu, who was already a parent at the time, was deeply shocked, and temporarily changed his route to Xiaolin's village to understand the situation. found the village cadre, showed his press card, and learned that Xiaolin had become a left-behind child just over 20 days after he was born. His father had been working outside the home, and his mother took him back to live with his grandparents and uncles. Two years ago, after Kobayashi's parents divorced, his mother also went out to work, and his parents organized their own families. 's father also had another child, and he didn't even give Xiaolin any more living expenses. Xiao Lin, who has been sensible since he was a child, never cries, always does everything by himself, and takes the initiative to help his grandfather with housework, because he has not been able to get his father's love for a long time, and his mother is his only spiritual sustenance. After not seeing his mother for two years, and even having few phone calls, he suddenly learned that his mother was not coming home for the New Year, which was too heavy for a nine-year-old child, and so tragedy happened.
Looking at the one-inch black-and-white photo on the thin household registration card in the hands of the village cadres, this is the child's photo taken when he was 7 years old, and it is also the only photo he left in the world. In the photo, Kobayashi's eyes are big, as if he is looking at the world curiously.
A wildflower was laid in front of Kobayashi's grave to wish the wildflower-like child happiness in heaven. Back home, Meng Fanzhu wrote Xiaolin's story into his script.
At that time, the country was already aware of the huge social problems of left-behind children, and various activities to help them were carried out on a large scale across the country, and Meng Fanzhu also actively participated in them.
But Xiaolin's story has always been like a thorn in Meng Fanzhu's heart, and those big eyes have always appeared in Meng Fanzhu's mind, and the plot of helping left-behind children has also continued to the real world. However, the power of the individual is limited after all, and this is not a problem that can be solved by donating some money and clothing, nor is it something that can be alleviated overnight.
You need to pay attention before you can help.
Because the economy in the southeast of the country is relatively developed, there will be many people in the west and north who go out to work, and the children are basically left to the elderly, so there are more left-behind children in these areas, and Long Province is naturally included.
If it had attracted the attention of society ten years earlier, perhaps there would have been a lot less tragedy like Kobayashi's. Therefore, this promotional video provided Meng Fanzhu with an unprecedented and excellent opportunity.
In fact, the problem of left-behind children is also accompanied by the problem of empty nesters, which is also a group that needs social attention and care.
Meng Fanzhu, who has a system and changed his fate, also hopes to improve the lives of some people through his own efforts
With great power comes great responsibility.
Hearing that there was a solution, Liu Mingkun rushed to Meng Fanzhu's house within an hour. It may be that I have experienced too many blows and disappointments in the past six months, and I am afraid that this time it will also be a bamboo basket to draw water, and when I enter the door to change shoes, I am a little distracted, and I almost fell down, and I was supported by Lele, who was quick to see his eyes.
Sitting on the sofa, Meng Fanzhu told Liu Mingkun the plan he told his father again, and he knew the surprise in his heart when he looked at Uncle Jiu's shining eyes.
Especially when he was watching the commentary and waiting for him, Meng Fanzhu's 10-second sunset moving shot in the small courtyard made him even more convinced of the feasibility and preciousness of this plan. was about to make a decision to let Meng Fanzhu be the director, but he was rejected.
"Uncle Nine, let my father be the director, I will do a good job of the sub-shot list, and will mark the shooting method and location of each shot in detail, as long as you shoot according to the requirements, I will add it when it comes to the later stage to ensure the quality of the film." Of course, Meng Fanzhu can't trap himself in this kind of tedious and repetitive work, he has more important things to do.
If other little kids dare to say this to themselves, they must have fanned the big-eared scrapers. But Meng Fanzhu's creativity is far beyond his imagination, which is simply unheard of. Unconsciously, Liu Mingkun has regarded Meng Fanzhu as a character who can talk to him on an equal footing.
Hearing that Meng Fanzhu was well arranged, Liu Mingkun nodded in agreement.
Later, Meng Fanzhu and Liu Mingkun formally put forward their request to do public welfare activities in Taiwan, but Liu Mingkun agreed without thinking about it. Every year, there are public welfare activities in the station, and he can decide what theme to do, and he can make the decision, but he wonders why it is the theme of left-behind children. This social problem, which was not fully manifested in 2004, is in the incubation period of gaining momentum.
What Meng Fanzhu has to do is shoot a public service announcement.
"Uncle Nine, the camera of this promotional film will use Wang Dong of my father's company, although he is a professional documentary, but it is more suitable than the cameras in the station that shoot news and parties, and he also has a tacit understanding with my father, we have no time to waste. After a pause, Liu Mingkun nodded, and continued: "Send me a producer and a cameraman, and I want to make a public service announcement as a warm-up for this public welfare event." ”
"Okay, I'll ask Da Yang to contact you tomorrow, you two have cooperated. Liu Mingkun agreed very happily. The big Yang in Uncle Jiu's mouth is Yang Deyuan, the director of "Longjiang Good Boy".
The burden in his heart is gone, and he seems to feel relaxed in his breathing, Liu Mingkun, who has been suffering for half a year, pulled his father and began to complain, which can be regarded as an apology for today's gaffe in disguise: "Big brother! The position of deputy director of the program is not capable." I have been smiling all day long, and I have already gone wrong. Even if it's crying now, it's a smiling face. I can't live this day! My boss, the old station chief, and the Propaganda Department have been pressing me with tasks all day long, and I have to do a good job. The other deputy directors in the back were always thinking about my position. This morning, I was scolded again, your ninth brother is also in his forties, and he doesn't give him any face..."
Looking at his father's expression of wanting to die, Meng Fanzhu expressed deep sympathy, you two brothers should enhance their relationship, and hide back in their bedrooms under the pretext of writing a scoreboard.
Finally quieted down, clicked on the system, and took a good look at the advanced skills of painting, but I didn't expect it, I was surprised!
