Chapter 362: Steamed buns of human blood

In the afternoon, Gu Xiaofan submitted the list of the main actors of "Dear" and began to make specific preparations. 【】――

The entire Shanghai Film Group began to operate, and every department began to be busy for this new film to be released at the end of the year.

In the past few days, Shanghai Film Group has also issued a promotional message, announcing the news of the new film "Dear" on its official website.

On the major portals, the big title was immediately published: "Gu Xiaofan shoots the theme, Liang Jiahui, Gao Yuanyuan joined, and changed to the art film route~"

"Gu Xiaofan pointed to the Chinese New Year stalls, the theme of abduction is shocking, and the future is unpredictable."

Many online media have made large-scale reports on Gu Xiaofan's new film this time, which is all the pre-publicity deployed by Shangying.

At the same time, Gu Xiaofan also took a set of makeup photos with Gao Yuanyuan, Gu Xiaofan's simple outfit had already left an impression on everyone when he played Cheng Dongqing, but Gao Yuanyuan's image completely subverted everyone's imagination, subversive, short hair, no makeup, freckles on the face, rough skin, wearing an outdated red plaid coat, which looks very storytelling.

As soon as the news spread, the message boards of major websites on the Internet continued to refresh new messages from fans:

"What does Gu Xiaofan want to do...... The rural theme is already very dangerous, and he is still ready to shoot the abduction? What's there to see in this film? ”

"What's wrong with Brother Xiao Fan this time? I don't understand it at all, what does it mean to toss Gao Yuanyuan's big beauty like this, do they want to hit the Oscars? ”

"If nothing else, just thinking about this subject, I know that this film must be sensational, sensational, and continue to sensationalize...... Absolute artistic life style. ”

And this time, even Li Chengpeng, a well-known Chinese writer, wrote a review and published it in the "Chengdu Business Daily", criticizing China's first anti-abduction movie.

"I understand the reason why abduction as a subject matter is of interest to directors, because this kind of story is full of human torment and joys and sorrows, and it is an excellent film and television theme.

But I am absolutely opposed to the abduction being brought to the big screen, so I want to tell a story for that.

I have interviewed many parents of abducted and trafficked children, and most of the protagonists who are persistent in finding their children are mothers; Most of the people who are persistently looking for are sons. From the many cases I collected about finding my son, I finally chose Mr. Zhang as the interview subject because this is a father who is looking for his daughter.

My motivation is very simple, to have a good story to attract more people to pay attention to the matter of 'fighting abduction' (I believe Gu Xiaofan is the same).

Mr. Zhang did not hesitate to accept the interview, and later he told me that one more exposure would give him a better chance of getting his daughter back. No matter how unlikely it is, like all parents who are looking for their children, he will definitely fully cooperate.

Mr. Zhang is like this, with a light breeze, starting from the afternoon when he lost his child, and traces his 5-year search for his child.

I always remember the way he told the story, there was no expression, no ups and downs, and those bizarre past events that sounded to me were so plain that they seemed to have never happened when they came out of Mr. Zhang's mouth. Of course, everyone knows the end of the story, his daughter has not been found yet, and no matter how ups and downs the plot is, it is meaningless to him.

For the advice of a kind fortune teller, Mr. Zhang would travel thousands of miles to 'a village surnamed Wang in the middle of the hills, and find a house with a river in front of the house and a big yellow dog in the house', and find his abducted daughter. Any clue, for him, is hope, and he must go all out.

There was no sadness in Mr. Zhang's tone, but it had drawn me into a great helplessness, and on his still hopeful journey to find his son, I could not suppress the growing despair in my heart, which seemed so small and weak.

We talked about an experience where his memory began to blur, and he pulled out a crumpled diary from the first drawer on the left hand side of his desk, handwritten.

In this era, it is rare to meet people who write handwritten diaries, and this rough man in front of him has such a delicate habit. I couldn't resist asking him why.

He said that when he first became Chinese, he was never an emotional person, until he lost his daughter. When my daughter comes home one day, I want to show her this diary, hoping that she will not hate her father, knowing that he has been thinking about him and has been trying to find her. So sure.

In a word, it completely crushed me, who was already on the verge of collapse. It was the only time in my journalistic career that I cried during an interview. I subconsciously interrupted the interview, apologized, said goodbye, and made an appointment to resume the interview tomorrow.

Unconsciously, this story ignited a great deal of compassion and ambition in me.

The next day, I met Mr. Zhang again as scheduled, and took the photographer with me.

Mr. Zhang and his wife gave birth to another son, and I had a picture in my heart, and with this moving story, the whole family needed to cooperate to complete it, so Mrs. Zhang appeared in front of me with her son in her arms.

Mrs. Zhang always followed her eyebrows, her face was expressionless, and she hugged the child tightly. Mr. Zhang told me that after the birth of his youngest son, his wife hardly let anyone else hold the child, especially when he was alive, she would always be vigilant.

I want to pose for a family photo. A hopeful picture waiting for her daughter to come home. Nothing could come closer to my imagination of the family's life.

Mr. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, my son, and my grandmother were positioned, and I pushed a stroller into the lower right corner of the screen -- this is the car that my daughter liked to sit in before she got lost, and Mr. Zhang was reluctant to throw it away -- to create a feeling of vacancy. The composition was successful, and I stepped back behind the photographer and said to the family, smiling a little, showing the family welcoming their daughter home.

There was a dead silence. There was only an echo of my embarrassment in the room.

It dawned on me that this interview was a terrible idea. I've never hated my profession so much, so thoroughly uncovered the biggest scar in my family's heart, felt the outline of the wound, and then what?

I didn't use that photo in the end, but I always remember the overwhelmed expression of the family in the photo. I was so desperate to share this story that I forgot that it was so sad in itself.

It's an extremely cruel thing to uncover someone else's scars, to repeat grief, I want to say, you uncover someone else's scars? And then what? You make money by making a movie that shows the most suffering of other people's lives to win awards, are you eating human blood steamed buns? ”

As soon as this factual article on "Dear" came out, it immediately aroused the approval of countless people, and many people felt that Lee's argument was very reasonable.

Soon, the major websites seemed to have found a good news point, and everyone reprinted the article, with a big headline on it that read, "Gu Xiaofan filmed "Dear", steamed buns stained with human blood? ”

Everything seems to have been arranged in advance, and everyone's moral spearhead is directed at Gu Xiaofan, and many people with intentions can see that there is a force behind it that is faintly suppressing Shangying Group......

Almost just a few days later, Gu Xiaofan, who had just formed a crew and was about to go to the countryside to experience life, fell into the whirlpool of public opinion......
