China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 177 Guo Gangtang

Maybe every gift of fate has already marked the price secretly.

He Hua is destined to be unable to stop.

When he got home, he saw his girlfriend wiping tears in front of the computer in the study:
"What's the matter?" He Hua walked up to his girlfriend and just wanted to comfort her when Liu Yifei hugged him sideways. He Hua looked a little funny, wiped his girlfriend's face with his hands, and asked again:

"Why are you still crying? Netizens scolded you?"

Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed, and buried her head on He Hua's stomach and said sullenly, "I won't cry because of that."

After saying this, she sniffed, pushed He Hua's hand away, and then showed her boyfriend the webpage she just read.

He Hua bent down and leaned closer to the computer screen: "Looking for Relatives"

Liu Yifei pulled the chair next door to let her boyfriend sit down, and explained:

"This is what my fans @我 let me see, hope I can help them."

He Hua flipped through the pages, looking at one missing person notice after another, as well as the words of comfort and encouragement from netizens, he was a little silent.

Liu Yifei leaned her head on her boyfriend's shoulder: "Some of these children were lost, some were abducted, and there was a father who was looking for them from city to city on a motorcycle. It has been almost 10 years."

He Hua's heart is also a little heavy: "Maybe he has already regarded this matter as his obsession."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei remained silent, and He Hua had no desire to continue the chat.

After a while, He Huacai asked his girlfriend, "Have you helped forward it?" Seeing Liu Yifei nodding, He Hua also posted on his Weibo to help forward it.

Liu Yifei watched her boyfriend operate, and suddenly had an idea: "Should we make a movie with this theme?"

Seeing He Hua's puzzled expression, she explained: "I was just thinking, if everyone can pay more attention to this group, maybe they can help them."

Indeed, the best way to make the society pay more attention to this group is to first attract the attention of the media.

"I'll think about it." He Hua nodded slowly.

In the evening, He Hua rummaged through the player in his mind, and finally he set his sights on two films on the theme of anti-trafficking:
"Dear", "Lonely"

Both films are based on real events, but with different emphasis.

"Dear" is directed by Chen Kexin, starring Huang Bo, Hao Lei, Zhang Yi, Tong Dawei and others.

It mainly tells the story of a group of parents whose children were abducted and trafficked, headed by Tian Wenjun, slowly finding their children and the various stories that happened after finding the children. The following is the key point.

Although Li Hongqin played by Zhao Junqi is the wife of a human trafficker in the play, she raised the abducted child with selfless love. This feeling is very contradictory and very real.

It is through this contradiction that there are still many laws, causing the audience to reflect on the rules.

The wonderful thing about this movie is also here, and there is also a particularly strong emotion.

And "Lost Orphans" focuses on the society's help to Lei Zekuan and Zeng Shuai in the process of searching for relatives:

The traffic police helped to pick up the child-seeking signs placed by the women who had lost their children on the roadside;

Secretly handing money to Lei Zekuan's traffic policeman;

Volunteers who help lead the way to find children, etc.

And the two ends of family search (parents, orphans) represented by Lei Zekuan and Zeng Shuai gradually understand and accept each other during this journey.

This movie not only gives positive energy to those who are seeking in society, but also answers the troubles of some orphans and children "why don't their parents want me, why don't they come to me", so that each other can better understand each other.

The themes of the two films are similar, but the performances are completely different.

"Dear" can be said to be more in-depth and easier to be recognized by the public.

"Lost Orphans" may seem simple and boring in comparison, but it is precisely this simplicity and rudeness that seems to be a great encouragement to those who are looking for relatives.

Tell the audience that as long as they are on the road, there is hope.

After watching these two films, He Hua thought about it:
If he was asked to simply write the script, he would choose "Dear" because it looks more advanced and has a deeper thought.

But let him make a movie to attract the attention of the society and the media to the family-seeking group. He thought that "Lonely" might be more suitable.

There is also the movie prototype, Peng Gaofeng, the story prototype of "Dear", and it will be more than a year before he takes his son and finally returns to his hometown in Hubei. This will definitely not work.

The prototype of "Lost Orphans" is Guo Gangtang, who Liu Yifei showed him in the afternoon when he had been looking for relatives for ten years.

He Hua thought, maybe this is God's arrangement.

The next day, He Hua told his girlfriend that he was going to meet Guo Gangtang, saying that if nothing unexpected happened, he would make a road movie based on him.

After Liu Yifei heard this, she was about to rush over excitedly, but He Hua hurriedly stopped:

"Don't get excited, let me tell you, I can't write a heroine in this story."

It means that you may not have the opportunity to participate.

Fight against abduction + road movies, naturally there is no room for young women to play.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can help them." Liu Yifei still stepped forward to hug her boyfriend and gave him a reward.

He Hua contacted Guo Gangtang through the phone number on Tieba:
".Yes, I am He Hua. I am a screenwriter and a film director. I want to film your story so that more people can see it."

"Quanzhou. Okay, I'll go find you. No problem."

"Mmm, goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, He Hua immediately called Huang Lan and asked her to arrange a photographer and two assistants to go with him.

"I'm going too." Liu Yifei puffed up and looked at He Hua.

He Hua stroked his forehead and smiled wryly: "Have you not been working recently? We don't know how long we'll be there, so don't go."

It's not that He Hua doesn't bring a girlfriend, it's just that he has his own arrangements. Now that he has decided to write a script and make a movie, he wants to follow Guo Gangtang directly instead of simply going over to ask a few questions and put on a show.

"Okay." Liu Yifei said listlessly.

She really can't leave for a long time. She became popular because of her bright and bright image of Liu Mei in "Awakening Age". Magazines saw her influence.

So now there are announcements every three days, and being able to spare a day or two is already the limit.

The next day He Hua took his staff to Quanzhou.

As soon as he got off the plane, He Hua made arrangements:

"In the afternoon, go find a car rental company, rent a larger business car, and put our luggage on it. It will be convenient to run around then, and Xiao Zhao and I will go see him."

"Ok."

"By the way, help me buy a motorcycle. I'm going to run with it for a while. It shouldn't be too new, just a normal one."

"Ok."

In the afternoon of that day, He Hua saw Guo Gangtang, who was wearing old clothes and had a dark face, distributing leaflets in a prefecture-level city below Quanzhou.

He Hua stepped forward and started sending along with him, while Xiao Zhao called his camera.

From [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., it ended when it gradually darkened. During this process, He Hua and Guo Gangtang gradually became familiar with each other.

"Let's go, Master Guo, let's find something to eat anywhere."

Guo Gangtang squeezed his pocket, his heart ached.

During the meal, He Hua didn't ask too many questions, it was still a long time, and the feeling of saying some things on his own initiative was different from being asked.

After the meal, Guo Gangtang stubbornly paid for the meal.

On the afternoon of the third day, after preparing everything, He Hua followed Guo Gangtang and set off.

"The child has a scar on his left foot, that's all I remember." Guo Gangtang squatted on the side of the road with his head down when he was resting on the road, rubbing the upper of his left foot with his left hand.

"Have you found any similar children over the years?"

"Why not, there are several, but none of them are my children." Guo Gangtang stood up, he didn't know whether his feet were numb or he was angry, he stomped his feet fiercely, and muttered: "Why did I lose the child, why? After looking for so many children, looking for one is not looking for another?"

He Hua couldn't bear it, so he quickly changed the subject: "When those children are found, will the new parents of the children let you go and see them?"

Guo Gangtang woke up like a dream, smiled wryly and said:
"How can you let it go? After all, they have been raising it for more than ten years, and they are not willing."

"and then?"

"Being beaten, pushed into the sea, begging them on their knees, comrades in the police for help, there are too many, I can't remember."

I can't remember very well, very well.He Hua murmured.

In the following days, they set off from Jinjiang, Quanzhou, all the way south, Xiamen, Zhangzhou, and then transferred to Longyan.

Stop and go along the way, every time he arrived in a city, Guo Gangtang would go to distribute leaflets, and then set off until dark. If it was too late and couldn't find anyone, he would find a place to cat for a while, and continue to set off at dawn.

Such a cycle goes on and on, and the people who watch it worry.

But Guo Gangtang said that he just wanted to punish himself in this way:

"Isn't it the parent's responsibility to take good care of the child? Why did I lose him?"

He Hua was silent for a long time and finally said what had been hidden in his heart for a long time:
"Maybe he's found a nice family, forget it."

Guo Gangtang shook his head and looked at the sky: "I can't give up. I thought about giving up on myself when I was most desperate, but I just never thought about giving up on finding a child."

He stroked the photo of his son on the flag on the back of his motorcycle:

"It's kind of funny to say it. It's been so many years, but I still feel that the child hasn't grown up. I saw those 2.3-year-old children on the road, no matter how they looked, they looked like my little six. You said it's ridiculous."

He Hua didn't find it ridiculous, but felt sorry for the father who lost his child.

In fact, when the journey was not over halfway, He Hua's notebook densely recorded a lot, including Guo Gangtang's mentality, words, and the good people and good things he met on the road:
"Several of the motorcycles I ride are gifts from others; they bought a small car, and if they don't ride the motorcycle anymore, they give it to me."

"In Shenzhen, a motorcycle rider overhauled my motorcycle and changed the gears for me. He didn't want to pay him any money; when he left, he even sent 200 kilometers away. He was afraid that I would get lost when I came out of Shenzhen."

Of course there is also bullying, this is not what he said, but what He Hua saw with his own eyes.

Another thing that makes Guo Gangtang very proud: after ten years of cycling to find children, although he failed to find his son Guo Zhen, he found the abducted children for 7 families.

After riding for a month to Longyan, He Hua didn't follow him any further.

He dragged Guo Gangtang to the bank:
"I will donate all the proceeds from this movie, and the 10 will be your reward."

Just as Guo Gangtang was about to refuse, He Hua stopped him:
"I hope you can find it sooner, but who can guarantee it in the future? You still have a family and two children. You need this money."

Guo Gangtang opened and closed his mouth, closed and opened again, and finally said "thank you" to He Hua in a murmur.

In late October, He Hua returned to BJ, and the first thing he did when he got home was to drag his girlfriend to make love with him.

The weather in BJ is already chilly now, He Hua is afraid that his girlfriend will catch a cold, so he pulls up the quilt and covers her body.

Instead, I picked up the A4 paper on the head bed table and fanned it. I sweated a lot during the exercise, and it was really hot.

Liu Yifei was exhausted all over. Looking at her boyfriend, she rolled her eyes:
"Don't catch a cold, cover it up."

He Hua shook his head and said he was fine, so Liu Yifei stopped talking about him and asked about the next arrangement.

"Let the company's financial account calculate the cost tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and we'll talk about it then."

He Hua rode with Guo Gangtang for a month, and he was exhausted long ago. When he came back, he wanted to vent again. Now he just wants to have a good sleep and doesn't want to talk about other things.

Within 2 minutes, He Hua's eyelids could no longer support him, and he fell asleep directly.

Seeing her boyfriend looking tired, Liu Yifei felt distressed, so she quickly changed the quilt for him, then took her underwear and pajamas and ran to the bathroom outside to take a shower, for fear of disturbing her boyfriend.

Returning to the bedroom after taking a shower, Liu Yifei picked up the A4 paper that He Hua fanned just now while wiping her hair, and read it.

This is the script of "Lonely Orphaned" that He Hua completed two days ago, and was asked by his girlfriend as soon as he finished writing it.

She has read this script several times, she doesn't know how to evaluate this script, it always feels too bland but it seems like it should be like this.

The male protagonist has been on the road for 10 years, seeing more people and encountering more things, so when the ferry crosses the sea, people around him quarrel and fight because of his affairs, he is also indifferent, as if the matter has nothing to do with him He walked past and continued to distribute his leaflets.

When he saw the child in Quanzhou, although the child had no scars on his left foot and a scar on his right foot, he still refused to give up any hope and begged desperately to let him take the child for a paternity test. He was beaten severely and thrown into the sea, but he didn't say anything.

But when the young people in the company were about to give up looking for their biological parents, he finally became angry. He vented his emotions like a child and pulled out his own flag, because giving up was the most unacceptable thing he had ever done since he set out on the road. His only outburst of emotion in the script.

Liu Yifei likes it more and more, but unfortunately, as He Hua said before, there is basically no room for female characters in this script.

Compared with it, the book called "Love Announcement" sent by the brokerage team is simply.
It's like a self-indulgent music concert.
