Chapter 216: The Gift (II)
"Why are you here so late?" Little Bear accompanied him tonight and greeted him.
"I'm leaving tomorrow morning, back to the Demon Capital." Guan Chen said.
"Ahh
"You don't have to be together, you stay here and continue to take care of your sister."
"That ......"
"You still take the salary honestly, paid leave, our company's benefits, don't abandon or give up, and you will be in trouble."
"Oh."
The bear laughed.
"Ah, I'm hungry." Guan Chen touched his belly.
Xiao Xiong was grateful at this time, and immediately rushed out to help Guan Chen buy food.
After breaking away from the bear, Guan Chen sat down on the stool next to his sister and looked at her.
Xiong Ruojin closed his eyes as if he was sleeping. In the past, at this time, she would definitely laugh at the interaction between Guan Chen and Xiao Xiong. But at this time, she was like all her energy was consumed by illness and pressure, and she was even tired when she turned her head.
"The last time I saw you, I didn't think you really wanted to go on with treatment. If you don't want to continue to suffer, then it's okay to ask for relief, and if necessary, I can help you—" Guan Chen said.
Hawley looked at Guan Chen in horror, trembling all over, for fear that Guan Chen was going to do something to the medical equipment.
Guan Chen knew what he was thinking: "Of course it's not personal, it's illegal, I mean, I can take you to a country where it's legal and comfortable." ”
Xiong Ruojin was finally willing to open his eyes, with surprise and hope in his eyes.
However, Guan Chen said: "But you seem to be worried about the cost of treatment, and you feel that you have become a burden to the bears and vultures, so you refuse to be treated." I said I wanted to lend you money, but you didn't want it, but you were ready to give up before it was time to give up. I don't know how I can help you in this situation. ”
Xiong Ruojin was silent, but he didn't close his eyes again.
Guan Chen said: "I don't know how you feel, so I can't say anything about comfort and advice, for fear that standing and talking won't hurt my back, which is counterproductive." ”
“……”
Guan Chen said in a deep voice: "I only know that if you die, those who love you will be sad." ”
Xiong Ruojin was silent for a moment and spoke: "You just came here to say this handsome line, so you came over to ...... at night?" ”
"That's right." Guan Chen was proud.
"And what about now that I'm done?"
"I'm not done yet." Guan Chen beckoned to Hawley.
Hawley cooperatively took out his laptop and respectfully placed it in Guan Chen's palm.
"I'm an actor and a filmmaker, and I can't tell some big truths, I can only tell stories and use images to speak for me."
Guan Chen said this, turned on the computer, clicked on a software, and put up a video inside.
After Guan Chen finished calling his senior brother a few days ago, he decided to shoot such a video as a gift to Xiong Ruojin.
With his level of education, he can only choose this way of telling stories.
Stories are good medicine.
The movie untied Guan Chen's knot, and Guan Chen hoped that this medicine could also save Xiong Ruojin.
Although the video was taken out in a hurry, it was not the complete version, but he and Holly were filming and editing while doing post-production, and after a few days, it can be regarded as a clear way to make people see the general intention.
After clicking on the playback, Guan Chen seemed to be unable to stand the lingering pity in his heart, put the computer on the small table, and then walked out of the ward.
Xiong Ruojin stared at the screen, his attention was no longer scattered, and he was already more energetic than just now.
At the beginning of the short film, it turned out to be the opening credit.
There is even a list of main creators.
[Producer: Hsinchu Film and Television Company]
[Producer: Xie Jinzhu]
[Director: Hawley]
[Starring: Guan Chen]
[Special thanks to: Zhang Yaohui, Zhang Yiman, Qin Ruiyang, ......]
Along with the opening credits of the subtitles, the first image that appears is the hospital room. In the dead of night, the lights are dim. Xiong Ruojin recognized that this was the ward where he was lying. In the picture, she is lying on the bed sleeping, and the bear next to her is also dozing tiredly. Xiong Ruojin has no idea when he was photographed.
The person holding the camera slowly approaches the hospital bed, like a murderer in a horror movie sneaking into the protagonist's room. Xiong Ruojin couldn't help but shrink back from the screen, just when she thought that she was going to be treated to herself in the video, the camera suddenly turned and focused on the flower basket on the windowsill.
In the flower basket, there are greeting cards. It was written a message wishing Xiong Ruojin to get better quickly.
The camera focuses on the person writing the greeting card.
The background music sounded, and the picture changed, and the style changed abruptly.
The names on the greeting cards were written down and put on a list. According to this list, photo after photo appeared. Some of the photos were saved from the Internet, and some of the photos were taken from a distance, with a single click. These photos were finally washed out and scattered in a huge map of the capital.
The eyes of each person in the photo are covered with a layer of black squares.
The thumbtacks are connected to each other by a red rope, like a spider's web.
Next to the photograph is the person's details, name, date of birth, place of work, home address......
Paired with deep music, it's almost like the beginning of a thriller political movie or a spy movie.
"Are you going to stalk my friend? ......" Xiong Ruojin was shocked.
Holly, who remained in the ward, grinned awkwardly, and took out the words that Guan Chen had dealt with him: "The main reason is that the information on the Internet is too easy to find, and everyone has no privacy precautions...... The photos we take are not for commercial use, and this video is for you alone. ”
The opening is not long, and the feature film appears quickly.
Guan Chen walked into the picture, and according to the information collected, he blocked the No. 1 target. Early in the morning, the other party was in a hurry to go to work.
After determining the target, Guan Chen stopped the other party and asked first: [Are you XXX? Xiong Ruojin's friend? 】
The other party was originally going to bypass Guan Chen, but after hearing the question, he was stunned for a moment and replied yes.
[Xiong Ruojin is dead. Guan Chen said in a tone that could not hide his grief.
The other party was stunned again, and then said a few times, pointed to the company, and said, "I'm almost late for work", and then without waiting for Guan Chen to answer, he bypassed him and walked straight to the company, which seemed to be really busy.
Guan Chen took a camera to take pictures of each other's backs. The target mingles among a bunch of office workers, and when they wait for the elevator, the crowd rushes in. Target No. 1 was about to enter, but when he was just one step away, he suddenly turned around and chose to take the stairs.
The camera followed.
In the hallway, the camera looks up from the gap in the hallway. In the spiral contraction, you can see a hand holding on to the stairs and slowly climbing up. At first, the hand climbed up like a normal person, and gradually, gradually, gradually, the hand stopped.
Then, in the still, only a woman's whimper and sobbing are heard.
……
The second target is Xiong Ruojin's orchestra colleagues, musicians.
[Xiong Ruojin left at three o'clock in the morning today. 】
[It's all my fault. There was a medical check-up, if I had pulled her over that day...... It's all my fault. 】
The musician's piano sound was all messed up.
……
And after that.
[Can't be rescued, people...... Nope. 】
【…… She said she would be my bridesmaid! How can she talk and not count...... How can it, talking, it doesn't count......]
A wedding card to catch the tears that keep dripping.
……
[Xiong Ruojin, she passed away......]
【……】
[Are you alright? 】
[Ah...... Thanks, I'll just sit down for a while, just slow down. Seeing a smile, what does it mean to feel uncomfortable and out of breath for the first time. I've had a crush on her since I was in college, and I'm still and ...... At that time, all she had in mind was music, and I never dared to express my heart, and then it was too late...... I'm sorry, but can you leave me alone for a while? 】
The man turned his back to the camera, panting and exhaling, as if all his strength had been spent.
……
【…… She's dead. 】
[Impossible, hasn't the treatment already begun?] It can't be that fast! 】
[She couldn't stand the pain, and when her sister wasn't paying attention, she used a knife to ...... herself]
【…… I was so busy with work that I said I was going to visit her, but I never did. I quarreled that day and deliberately ignored her, I should have hugged her well. How did it become the last side......]
……
Guan Chen photographed the painful moment when everyone heard the news of Xiong Ruojin's death.
Some of them refused to admit it, some wept loudly, and some wept silently.
Hawley cut these clips to a simple one, and everyone's reaction in them was so vivid and sad.
"Why are you so lacking in virtue......" Xiong Ruojin laughed.
Although she was laughing, she also shed tears when she looked at the tears of her friends on the screen.
