"Have you watched A Chinese Ghost Story?"

"Look, my daughter said it was good-looking, and she took the whole family to see it."

"I also watched it yesterday, the Taoist priest fought with the monster really hard, and he went to the underworld with a brush of the sword."

"This Taiwanese movie is just good-looking, how do you say people make it?"

“……”

In the family area of Henan Xu C Internal Combustion Engine Parts Factory, the workers came out of the dormitory building in the morning, and went to work in twos and threes, talking about the recent national hit movies while walking.

Although the status of workers is very high nowadays, the elderly workers do not often go to the cinema. If a movie can attract them all, then it only shows one thing, and that is that this movie has become a social phenomenon.

is like the movie "Manhunt" released in the mainland a few years ago, which can allow an ordinary person to save money and buy tickets to watch dozens of times. Another example is Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple", at that time, the movie ticket price in most places was only five cents, and some places could use bricks to offset the price, so that the entire wall of some toilets was demolished by fans and used for money to watch movies. As a result, the five-cent ticket price sold more than 100 million yuan at the box office in the mainland.

Since October, Wang Zijun's "A Chinese Ghost Story" has set off a whirlwind in the land of China, and the phrase "Have you watched "A Chinese Ghost Story" is as frequent as "Have you eaten it".

The reason why "Manhunt" set off a box office frenzy in the mainland is because mainland audiences who have watched model dramas for decades suddenly saw a feature film with ups and downs in the plot, and they were immediately fascinated. "Shaolin Temple" can sell more than 100 million box office because everyone sees kung fu martial arts for the first time, and many teenagers even run away from home after watching the film and wade through mountains and rivers to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.

The same is true of Wang Zijun's "A Chinese Ghost Story", although mainland audiences have seen ghost films, the production is not very good, and the plot is not very exciting. As soon as "A Chinese Ghost Story" came out, it immediately filled the aesthetic gap of mainland audiences, so that people of all ages flocked to the cinema.

Several leading actors of "A Chinese Ghost Story" Wang Zijun, Wang Guxian and Wu Ma and others suddenly became household names in the mainland, even the old farmers in the countryside have heard of their big names - after the regular theaters are rotated, the films will be moved to the open-air cinemas in various villages, and the name is to send movies to the countryside.

Lin Li went downstairs with her husband and son, and from time to time someone greeted "Teacher Lin" early. Most of these greetings have children studying in the factory-run kindergarten, and Lin Li is the kindergarten teacher.

"Mom, I heard that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is very good! Let's go see it someday. Qian Shipeng, the second son of middle school, said.

"Okay, I'll go when I'm free." Lin Li nodded.

Husband Qian Shen suddenly said: "Lin Li, haven't you been looking for your biological parents?" I heard that the wife of the director of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is called Lin Qingxia, and Lin Qingxia's father has exactly the same name as your father. Do you think it will ......?"

"Where did you hear that?" Lin Li said with a smile.

"I work in the factory union, and I usually read the newspaper when I have nothing to do. The newspaper made it very clear that Lin Qingxia's father not only had the same name as your father, but was also a military doctor of GMD. Qian Shen said. Speaking of which, he also graduated from Chinese opera, but more than ten years ago, because of writing drama scripts, he was branded as a "black screenwriter" and "bourgeois literary and artistic element", and was sent to the countryside for labor reform.

Lin Li shook her head and said: "People are big bosses and big stars, how can they be relatives with us so coincidentally." ”

……………… Outside the factory gate, Lin Qingxia leaned on Wang Zijun's side, looked at the factory building inside through the car window, and asked, "Zijun, do you think you will find a mistake?" ”

"That's not wrong, I've got it all checked." Wang Zijun said, "Your sister has lived in Shandong with her uncle and aunt since she was a child, and during the three-year difficult period in the mainland, they moved their family to Kanto in order to survive and went to live in a coal mine in Heilongjiang Province. Later, your sister joined the queue and became an educated youth, and was introduced to her current husband, that is, your brother-in-law, and the two got married in a thatched hut in the countryside. After the special period, they were rehabilitated and returned to the city, where they were assigned to work until now. ”

In fact, in another time and space, Lin Qingxia went to Shandong to film in 82 years, and found her sister as early as two years ago. Only because of Wang Zijun's relationship, Lin Qingxia quit the film industry early to be the CEO of the company, and she didn't have much time and energy to come to the mainland to find relatives.

The last time I came back for the Chinese New Year, Wang Zijun had been looking everywhere for more than half a year, and finally inquired about his whereabouts.

Lin Qingxia's parents, brother, sister-in-law and sister's family were in the car behind, and as soon as Wang Zijun sent the news back to Taipei, the second elder was so excited that he couldn't wait for a moment, and immediately flew over with his family.

When the car drove to the gate of the factory, a forty or fifty-year-old doorman saw the three good cars in front of them, thought that some kind of leader was coming, and hurriedly walked over and asked politely: "Comrade, what official business are you coming to the factory?" ”

Wang Zijun lowered the car window and said, "We came from Taiwan to look for relatives. ”

"Don't you have a letter of introduction from the Municipal Overseas Chinese Affairs Office......" The doorman was halfway through his words, and suddenly said in surprise, "Ning Caichen, you are the Taiwanese actor who plays Ning Caichen!" Hello, hello, welcome Taiwan compatriots to our factory. ”

Wang Zijun asked with a smile: "We are in a hurry, and we have not contacted the comrades of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, can we make it convenient." ”

"Others definitely can't, but you're different, your face is a pass." The doorman gave a thumbs up and said excitedly, "I have seen Chu Liuxiang played by you, and I only watched "A Chinese Ghost Story" a few days ago, and this is definitely it!" ”

"Thank you then!" Wang Zijun threw out a pack of soft China to the doorman.

"Well, you see that you are still so polite," the doorman asked with a brighter smile as he put away his cigarette, "who are you looking for, and I will put you in touch." ”

Wang Zijun said: "Lin Li, a teacher in the factory-run kindergarten, and Qian Shen, a clerk in the factory trade union. ”

"It turns out that you are looking for Lao Qian and Teacher Lin, I was drinking with Lao Qian yesterday." The doorman asked, "Are you related to Lao Qian?" ”

Wang Zijun said: "Teacher Lin is my wife's sister. ”

The doorman said enviously: "That's the eldest sister-in-law, I can't imagine that Lao Qian still has overseas relations, they are really tight-lipped!" ”

Wang Zijun said: "Then trouble this comrade to get in the car and take us to find someone." ”

"It's on me. Little Wu, come over and help Lao Tzu take a look at the door! After the doorman finished speaking, he pulled the car door and sat in the passenger seat, "My name is Bao Hong, you call me Lao Bao." That, should I call you Comrade Ning or Comrade Chu? ”

Lin Qingxia was about to see her long-lost sister, she was in a happy mood, she smiled after listening to Bao Hong's words, and said, "His surname is Wang." ”

"Ah yes, look at my surname," Bao Hong patted his head and said to the driver, "Turn right when you enter the door, go to Lao Qian first, and get closer to the union." ”

This old bag is estimated to be a doorman who usually has nowhere to talk to him, and as soon as he gets in the car, his mouth keeps moving, and he pulls Wang Zijun and asks how the monsters in "A Chinese Ghost Story" were filmed.

The car drove to a small building and stopped, and Bao Hong didn't enter the building after getting out of the car, but directly opened his loud voice and shouted: "Old money, there are relatives looking for you!" ”

After shouting a few times, a middle-aged man finally poked his head out of the upper floor and asked, "Where are the relatives?" ”

"From Taiwan, overseas relatives!" Bao Hong shouted.

"Yo, who has overseas relatives!"

"It's Ning Caichen!"

"Xiang Shuai is here!"

“……”

The clerk sitting in the office was very idle, and when he heard that something was going on, he all ran out to see the excitement, and Wang Zijun got out of the car and showed up, and even let these people run down from the upper floor to watch.

Qian Shen walked out of the corridor, pushed away his colleagues who were joining in the fun, and when he saw Wang Zijun present, he already roughly understood what the situation was. However, he still asked Bao Hong for confirmation: "What overseas relatives? ”

Father Lin and Mother Lin had also gotten out of the car, Wang Zijun leaned into Father Lin's ear and whispered a word, Father Lin was excited and grabbed Qian Shen's hand and asked, "You are Xiaoli's husband?" ”

Qian Shen nodded and said, "I am Lin Li's husband." ”

Father Lin asked, "What is the name of Xiaoli's uncle?" ”

Qian Shen said: "Lin Weiyun." ”

Now that the number is right, Mother Lin said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this is the name of the little uncle." Xiaoqian, I'm Lin Li's mother, take me to see her! ”

"Okay." Qian Shen suddenly had an extra father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he didn't get used to it for a while, so he could only take them to the factory to run a kindergarten.

A group of people walked towards the kindergarten, followed by a bunch of workers watching the excitement, and of course, young men and women took the opportunity to run to Wang Zijun to ask for autographs.

After a while, the factory director and the chairman of the labor union all knew the news and hurriedly rushed over to receive the Taiwan compatriots.

When she arrived at the kindergarten, Lin Li was teaching children to sing, and when she heard a sudden noise outside, she turned her head to look outside, but it was her husband who led the two old people over, followed by many people.

Lin Li, who had been inquiring about her parents for nearly ten years, realized what was going to happen almost instantly, and stood up and shouted in a somewhat uncertain voice: "Dad, Mom? ”

"Daughter!" Mother Lin suddenly wailed, rushed over and hugged Lin Li and cried. When the couple left the mainland, their daughter was only 3 years old, and now Lin Li is a 40-year-old middle-aged woman.

Lin Qingxia, her brother and sister also came over, and the family hugged each other and cried with joy.

Wang Zijun stood aside but was quite helpless, he was entangled by the leaders of the factory.

"Sure enough, it's Director Wang, what a rare guest!"

"I heard that Director Wang gave a speech in Chinese opera a few days ago, why don't you talk about it in our factory?"

"This old money couple is really good, they are so tight-mouthed, they usually don't want to say anything."
