After three months of training and three months of struggle, the couple set out again on the road to find a child!
They didn't give up on their son.
In other words, they gave up on themselves and planned to walk in the dark on this path.
In the fourth year of searching for their son, the local TV stations were shocked by their perseverance in finding their son.
The TV station followed up and interviewed and reported on the two people's search for their son. We hope it can help them, help more families in society, and crack down on criminals with greater intensity!
This year, they became a sensational "child-finding model——"
However, the scale was limited and Bin Bin was still not found.
From the time they sold their house to find their son, the movie describes it in no particular detail.
But Chen Lin could really feel that Dai Chengbi had indeed taken a further step forward this time.
This vague journey of finding a child is shot and edited using specific lens language, newspaper and TV reporting techniques, and there is not much dialogue in the process. This is a test of the director's skill and the actor's skill!
"Crime" did it.
A few minutes tells the story of four years.
Obviously there are not many scenes, but what happened in the past four years has firmly captured everyone's thoughts.
And in the past four years, the changes in Zhang Yuqin and Liu Changdong's couple have also made the audience feel sore...
None of them seemed to remember the original appearance of the couple looking for a child, as if they had suddenly grown old.
Since I was in my thirties, I have been traveling all over the world.
Liu Changdong has some gray hair, he has gained weight year by year, and his face has aged a bit, but his changes are still normal.
Zhang Yuqin's hair is visible to the naked eye and changes every year. At first, she always felt that there was not much change. She also has gray hair, which may not be as obvious as Liu Changdong's, but her hair follows her face, her skin, and her hair.
The eyes and expressions are the same - like lifeless weeds, gradually withering and aging day after day, year after year!
Most of the audience didn't even know that Zhang Yuqin became like this after failing to keep up for that second.
The most worrying thing is that her eyes are dull, like a pool of stagnant water...
And when she held Binbin's photo every night and couldn't fall asleep for a long time, her heart was cut like a knife, and she longed for it - "As a mother, I must find my child!"
This kind of emotion and belief emerged over and over again, pulling not only Xia Yu himself, but also the audience present.
The camera performance of just a few minutes was full of tension, or in other words, it didn't feel like a performance at all - she was Zhang Yuqin.
That look in his eyes, his demeanor...it makes my scalp numb!
"Is she really only 26? Has she really never given birth to a child?"
Chen Lin couldn't help but ask, how do you describe the feeling she gives people?
It was far worse than the heartache and worry expressed by his wife because of the illness in her child's hand, but it was incomparably unified - she was just a mother who wanted to find her child.
This longing and heartache were increasing day by day, from the beginning it was heartbreaking, to gradually becoming numb.
This process of gradual change of mentality only took a few dozen seconds to show, but it made Chen Lin's heart tremble. At the same time, he couldn't help but ponder and savor it. He even wanted to press the controller on the giant screen to go back and repeat.
Watch it a few more times!
So when the time came to 2008 and the camera turned, everyone was a little surprised.
"Four more years have passed?"
…
"Don't scream. If you dare to scream...I will beat you to death!"
A remote alley appeared in front of everyone, and at the same time, a threatening and extremely low voice reached everyone's ears!
"The voice is a bit familiar!" This is the first sense for viewers who don't know much about Cheng Zhiqing, but Chen Lin has listened to Cheng Zhiqing's TV series and movie soundtracks for many years. As soon as he speaks, he can tell that this is Liu Changdong played by Cheng Zhiqing.
!
Following the sound, the camera moves from far to near, and finally, a man wearing a large army green cotton-padded jacket appears in the middle of the alley, holding a six or seven-year-old girl - there should be a little girl in his arms, but the real person cannot be seen.
Face.
The little girl was wearing new clothes. It seemed that her family was in good condition, but at this time the new clothes were stained. As the man kept walking into the alley, she wanted to run away and scream, but just as she was about to make a sound,
A man slapped her in the face and then held her head tightly to prevent her from breathing - how could a seven or eight-year-old girl have the strength to resist an adult man?
After repeating this several times, the little girl was in a trance, frightened and panicked, her mouth pinched helplessly, wanting to cry but not daring to cry!
The man dragged the girl and hid for a long time.
Look at the traces of the man's whereabouts, her steps, and the camera constantly looking around as he turns around - until then, the camera finally pulls from the back to the front, the little girl's face is a little blurry, and she is covered in his arms
.
And the man's face was finally revealed - a familiar face.
"He is Liu Changdong? What is going on?" Compared to four years ago, his face was swollen and fatter. If it weren't for the familiar facial features and the vaguely familiar voice, he would have almost lost his face.
Recognize it.
The movie continues.
There were many pedestrians on the road. Liu Changdong carried the little girl from the alley to the street. When he met the pedestrians, he hugged the little girl tightly and threatened her, "If you dare to cry or make a sound, I will kill you."
Kill you!"
He tried his best not to let anyone see the little girl's face, eyes, and steps, all of which showed his strong anti-investigation capabilities.
Soon, the man took out a razor blade from his pocket, cut off two braids of the little girl's hair, knocked her out with medicine, threw her into a garbage dump, hid it, and maliciously bought the little girl a men's suit.
The camera finally fell on Liu Changdong and a father who was looking for his daughter.
He passed by his daughter, and when he saw the back of the "boy" in the man's arms, he failed to recognize it, and finally found his daughter's clothes in a garbage dump.
The audience's doubts did not last long, but when the mystery that they had already "guessed" was revealed, they couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
The camera shows a newspaper on the table looking for a child, which states: "The model parents looking for a child, Liu Changdong and Zhang Yuqin, have been looking for a child for eight years. The mother was so weeping that her legs were broken by the trafficker during the fight.
…”
But what about the reality?
This pair of "model children", in order to find their son, risked their lives to join the traffickers' team - but not only did they not find their son, they ridiculously became the traffickers they hated most.
Hearing that Liu Changdong was greedy, he said happily, "When we get rid of this little girl, we will have money to continue looking for our son!"
In the camera, Liu Changdong's greedy smile is far more shocking and incredible than his fat figure, white hair, and dark skin.
What is the reason that caused this "model parent" who was originally looking for a child to embark on this path of no return?
This is a thought-provoking question.
They couldn't find the reason on Liu Changdong, and the camera finally fell on Zhang Yuqin——
After four years of not seeing her, she has become even older. She is forty years old, but she looks older than fifty.
The most disturbing thing was her numb eyes and limping steps.
When she found out that Liu Changdong abducted a girl, she was indifferent. It wasn't until she heard him say, "I'll continue looking for a son if I have money" that a glimmer of light appeared in her numb eyes.
Irony, so ironic!
At this moment, Zhang Yuqin is thinner than she was ten years ago. She is dark and skinny, and she is wearing a cotton coat that looks like it has been wrapped in starch. No, her image at this moment looks like someone from the countryside who is used to hard work.
Tired village woman.
On that dark face, apart from the fact that she could be recognized at a glance as Zhang Yuqin, there was no trace of beauty at all.
As soon as this image appeared, many viewers couldn't help but hold their breath, and those who knew that the protagonist who played this role was present could not help turning their heads or looking down at Xia Yu who was in the best viewing area.
.
Can't believe it.
Is this a person?
In European and American movies, it is not uncommon for actors to gain or lose weight for roles. This is perfectly normal.
But it is very rare in Chinese film and television movies, so much so that Chen Lin felt extremely excited when she saw the final makeup photos——
The movie is still going on, and as the plot develops, the rivalry between the two in the dirty courtyard is finally about to begin.
"Binbin!"
When a voice of great surprise came from Zhang Yuqin's mouth, Liu Changdong, who was still eating in the main room, was alarmed.
When he arrived at the small warehouse, he saw Zhang Yuqin crying and hugging the little girl.
When he looked at the little boy-like girl whose hair he had cut short, he was stunned.
On that fat face, the eyes with fierce light were slightly pursuing and reminiscing.
On the giant screen in the cinema.
This scene is very abrupt in the eyes of the audience.
"Who doesn't remember what his son looks like?"
But it's obvious that he really doesn't remember!
At the same time, a somewhat old photo fell from Zhang Yuqin's hand. The little boy in the photo had an innocent smile, exactly like the child in front of him. His pupils shrank and his hands visibly trembled!
When in his eyes, the little girl held in Zhang Yuqin's arms merged into a shadow with Bin Bin in his last vague memory outside the market, Liu Changdong's legs shook and he almost lost his balance.
But what surprised the audience was that there was no emotion in his eyes. What kind of look was that?
Complex, dark, and... resentful?
This look made many people frown - most of them couldn't understand this look at first.
Chen Lin took a deep look.
“Human nature is complicated!”
He wrote these words in his notebook. Chen Lin didn't understand them either, but he understood them.
He had noticed it just now.
His eyes were still fixed on the movie screen, but his hand was writing quickly on the notebook - the sound of "shuashuashua" sounded.
"Liu Changdong is a complex character, but in the final analysis, he is extremely selfish. Eight years ago, in order to relieve the guilt of his son being abducted, he was willing to sell his house, use up his savings, and embark on the road to find his son. But eight years ago, he was willing to sell his house, use up his savings, and embark on the road to find his son.
Years later, from a well-off family to a human trafficker, the irreparable guilt for my son, who was once so guilty, fermented into resentment!"
"A person like him will not resent himself, he will only resent his abducted son and Zhang Yuqin——
Why did he get to where he is now?!"
While gaining insight into Liu Changdong's psychology, Chen Lin felt disgusted. He actually understood it at a glance. He somewhat despised himself. Not only did he understand it, but if he were in Liu Changdong's shoes, he thought...he might do it.
Make the same choice!
This hypothesis made him couldn't help but narrow his eyes. While he felt disgusted in his heart, he couldn't help but admire the screenwriter, director, and Cheng Zhiqing who played Liu Changdong - this requires a precise understanding of the reality of human nature.
, to achieve this effect!
This is not the work of any one person.
As for the upcoming plot, Chen Lin has a rough guess, but she can't help but look forward to how the director, screenwriter, and actors will cooperate to complete this film and television feast.
In the subsequent plot, as expected, Zhang Yuqin firmly believed that this was her son Binbin, and she would not allow Liu Changdong to sell her;
But Liu Changdong was also very cunning and exposed it directly. After the photo was exposed, he recalled that Binbin had a birthmark, but this girl did not - the most important thing is that this is a girl, not a boy!
After eight years of searching for her son, Zhang Yuqin has already gone insane. Who cares whether you are or not? When Liu Changdong took off the little girl's clothes and saw no birthmark on her shoulders, Zhang Yuqin's pupils shrank.
But this stimulation not only failed to make her recognize it, but further stimulated her spirit, "She is my Binbin...she is my Binbin!"
The "she" in this screen is also very meaningful.
Zhang Yuqin in this state left Liu Changdong a little helpless. He could only figure it out slowly, and the most difficult thing was to leave as soon as possible. He began to persuade Zhang Yuqin, and after learning that his "Bin Bin" was likely to
Will be robbed, Zhang Yuqin compromised.
Worried about the little girl making a fuss.
Liu Changdong would give her some "mineral water" with special ingredients from time to time.
Zhang Yuqin saw this scene.
Turned his head subconsciously.
The audience instantly understood that she was pretending to be stupid and deceiving herself!
When the camera left the county yard, a 30-second long shot fell on Zhang Yuqin - her lame leg was much better than when she was first injured, and she had been used to it for so many years, but she still couldn't walk.
There were "bumps", but even though it was very difficult, he still chose to protect "Binbin" and not let her leave his sight. At the same time, he looked at Liu Changdong with defensive eyes!
The back is very long and heavy, but her tired, old, and despairing heart seems to be re-injected with vitality...
"Is she afraid that her 'son' will disappear from her again?"
"This kind of recovery is an illusion, but I can't help but think, how nice would it be if it could last longer, or just stay like this?"
The sudden conversation between the two young film critics next to Chen Lin made Chen Lin complicated for a moment.
"Is that really true?"
He quickly shook his head.
Zhang Yuqin is very pitiful, but isn't this girl's father pitiful?
