(change first and then change, delete after correction)
Xu Zhen has seen many of Ms. Peng Siyuan's works.
This is a well-known literary and young writer in the circle, who is best at describing the family relationship between people, especially in a special family environment.
For example, how to survive the midlife crisis, how to bridge the remarried family, how to face life with strength for single mothers, and so on.
Her stories are not necessarily exciting, but they are often very profound, and she finds the pain points of society very accurately.
Is it written about abduction this time......
Xu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "The subject matter is very good, but I don't know how the story is." ”
"If it works, I think I can participate in this kind of public welfare film."
Cai Shixian nodded and said, "I think so." I'll send you the script when I go back, and you can study it with Xiao Qiao when you have time. ”
Lin Jia on the side asked, "Uncle Cai, are there any female characters in this movie?" ”
Cai Shixian thought for a while and said, "Yes, there are several." ”
As he recalled, he counted with his fingers: "There was a young mother who lost her child; ”
"There are traffickers;"
"And then there's the mother of the role they want Ah Zhen to play......"
Saying that, Cai Shixian turned his head and smiled: "Jiajia, you still forget it, there is no suitable one for you." ”
Lin Jia: "......"
Well, it's really not for me, but I don't know why, I always feel like these three characters sound like they're quite kind??
……
After a while, the dishes were ready, and the four of them chatted briefly about some of the company's recent major plans while eating.
Chatting and chatting, Cai Shijian felt a little unhappy, so he ordered a case of beer from the waiter, and blew it on Song Yu and the others.
After a few bottles of beer, Cai Shixian took out his mobile phone in a daze, and called out Chu Xiaoxiong, Meng Xiaosheng and a few other old guys, calling friends, pushing cups and changing lamps, and drinking lively.
The "Youth Bureau", which was originally good, inexplicably turned into a middle-aged and elderly drinking party.
As the "second master", Xu Zhen couldn't get involved, he saw that the elders were drinking happily, so he simply retreated to the sofa in the corner of the private room, held his mobile phone, and quietly watched the "Orphaned" that Cai Shixian had just sent to him.
It's not a movie book, it's a short story.
The protagonist of the story is called Lei Zekuan, a fruit farmer in Huizhou, 15 years ago, he lost his two-year-old son while farming, and since then he has been riding a motorcycle on a vast journey to find his son.
Xu Zhen flipped a few pages, and soon saw the role they wanted to play: the guy who repaired the motorcycle, Zeng Shuai.
He inadvertently saved Lei Zekuan, who fell into a ditch due to fatigue driving, and saw the poster of the other party's car hanging on the child, his heart softened, saying that he was also abducted by human traffickers when he was a child, and he was very sympathetic to his experience, so he didn't care about Lei Zekuan's repair costs.
Reading this, Xu Zhen easily understood Zeng Shuai's state of mind at this time: seeing Lei Zekuan persevering in looking for his son, he seemed to feel that his father might be looking for himself somewhere like Lei Zekuan.
This imaginary family affection is as fascinating as poison.
Peng Siyuan's writing is plain and simple, without flowery rhetoric or sensational descriptions, but Xu Zhen feels like he has fallen into a quagmire, sinking deeper and deeper, unable to extricate himself.
- The role of Zeng Shuai aroused his empathy.
Life in the world, without roots, how terrible.
Xu Zhen understands this feeling too well.
Because he has been plagued by this problem for more than ten years.
According to the third uncle, Xu Zhen was born with a serious illness, and his biological mother was a young single mother who could not come up with the money and wanted to give up the treatment.
At that time, Master knew that the monk happened to be in the hospital, and when he heard about it, he paid the money for her.
The next morning, however, the young mother fled with her healthy child in her arms and was never heard from again.
Xu Zhen also became an orphan that no one wanted.
Later, he was discharged from the hospital, and the monk took him back to the temple.
Because of his good looks, there was once a couple of pilgrims who wanted to adopt him when he was a child.
However, it didn't take long for the pilgrims to send him back, disgusted with his poor health and the need to spend money on medical treatment.
was abandoned again and again, causing Xu Zhen to not understand why he had to live for a long time.
He saw that the master secretly took off his monk's robe, changed into work clothes, went to work as a cement worker on a nearby construction site, earned medical expenses for himself, and even accidentally sprained his waist, and he wanted to die many times.
When you die, you are liberated, and you are no longer a burden to anyone.
Why do you want to live, and what is the meaning of life......
Xu Zhen sat on the sofa in the private room, quietly reading "Lost Orphans", and in a trance it seemed to return to his childhood.
He couldn't help but sigh at the author's ingenuity: the two male protagonists in the story not only supported each other on the road to finding relatives, but also redeemed each other spiritually.
Zeng Shuai wanted to believe that his father might be the same as Lei Zekuan, looking forward to finding him;
And Lei Zekuan also wants to believe that his son, like Zeng Shuai, is looking forward to his father's arrival.
It is this belief that sustains people all the way.
Xu Zhen read the timeless words on the document and was deeply moved by the delicate emotions contained in it.
At the end of the story, when he saw that Zeng Shuai had really found his biological parents, Xu Zhen couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart:
- His biological parents brought the whole village to welcome him home at the entrance of the village, holding banners and beating gongs and drums.
Zeng Shuai looked at the scene in front of him, looked back at Lei Zekuan, and shouted excitedly: I have a name, I have a home!
"Hoo ......"
At this moment, Xu Zhen tried to adjust his breathing.
That's nice......
Zeng Shuai got what he wanted the most and dreamed of the most, it's good......
"Ah Zhen? What happened to you? ”
On the opposite side of the sofa, Lin Jia inadvertently raised his head, and suddenly saw Xu Zhen looking at his mobile phone screen, the corners of his mouth curled, but the tears fell "tick, tick", he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly pulled two tissues and handed them to him, saying, "Why are you crying?" ”
Xu Zhen was slightly stunned, raised his head, wiped the corners of his eyes, and found that it was actually wet, and said, "I'm sorry, that ......"
He pursed his lips, raised the screen of his mobile phone, and said with a smile: "I'm watching the story of abduction that Uncle Cai just said." ”
"Well, it's very touching......"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and sent a message to Qiao Feng: "Brother Qiao, just now Mr. Cai gave me a book from Huaying, called "Lost Orphans". ”
"It's not very exciting, but I want to take this movie, okay?"
"I want to play the role of Zeng Shuai."
