Dapeng said: If you can choose, don't have a movie, just Grandma.
The movie "Auspicious Ruyi" is not auspicious or satisfactory, but more of a heart.
It is the luck of director Dapeng, but it is the regret of ordinary people Dapeng.
Dapeng has wanted to make a literary film for a long time, and he has always wanted to tear off the label of funny on his body.
Thinking about it, he thought of his grandmother.
When Dapeng was young, his mother was frail and sickly, and his father took his mother to all parts of the country to seek medical treatment.
Grandma raised him, transported him to and from school, and made him tomato and egg soup.
Grandma's hand, especially warm, held Dapeng through year after year.
Mom is well, Dapeng returns home, and still runs to grandma on holidays.
Later, Dapeng went to Beijing, and the time for work became better and tighter, and the time to visit his grandmother became less and less.
In 2017, Dapeng returned to Grandma's village with the crew and prepared to shoot Grandma.
Everyone in the village came to see Dapeng, the young man from the small town who had a good job, and his grandmother's eyes were bent like a crescent every day.
Dapeng was anxious to return to Beijing, and Grandma took Dapeng's hand and wanted to stop talking, and Dapeng knew that Grandma was reluctant to do so, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
Dapeng will go back to Beijing to deal with some things, he will go back to the village to shoot a drama, and when the time comes, he will accompany his grandmother for a long time, and he does not say that he wants to surprise her grandmother.
Unexpectedly, this became Dapeng's most painful regret.
The crew is scheduled to start on the 23rd of the waxing moon, and the name of the movie is "Grandma".
"Let's go shoot a piece of providence," Dapeng said, saying they don't interfere with the direction of things, they just want to take a picture of life.
Dapeng wants to take a picture of what his grandmother is doing in the New Year, and the story of the family reunion.
However, on the 22nd day of the waxing moon, Grandma suddenly fell into a coma and was rushed to the hospital.
Chinese New Year's Eve reunion, the family was holding a funeral for Grandma, and Dapeng did not see Grandma for the last time.
In the movie, even Grandma's last breath and final funeral are real.
The crew has already entered, and Dapeng can only transfer the protagonist from grandma to third uncle Wang Jixiang.
When Wang Jixiang was young, his brain was burned by illness, and his consciousness was always unclear, but he always remembered the person he loved most.
He shouted every day, "One two four five, wen wu xiang gui, tomorrow morning look for his mother." ”
WenWu Xianggui is the name of his siblings.
There is an old family, such as a treasure.
The old man is the bond of the family, and only when this bond is there can the family be brought together.
When his grandmother left, his uncle Wang Jixiang became a sick man who had no one to take care of, and the family quarreled over his maintenance.
Wang Jixiang's daughter Lili, who has not returned home for 10 years, also returned, and at the reunion dinner, the family quarreled over Wang Jixiang's support, and the second aunt even proposed: no divorce.
There are two daughters in the movie, one is the daughter played by actor Liu Lu, and the other is a real-life daughter.
When the family argued over Wang Jixiang's pension issue, the two daughters reacted very differently.
The real daughter does not care about herself and calmly plays with her mobile phone, and the actor Liu Lu kowtows to the family, thanking them for taking care of their "father" for so many years and almost collapsing.
Liu Lu has not understood why Li Li has not returned home to visit her relatives for 10 years.
Liu Lu and the real Li Li sat next to Dapeng separately, and Liu Lu asked with red eyes, "Why haven't you returned for ten years?" ”
At the premiere, Li li answered the question: The fact that she has not returned home for ten years is unconscious. My father fell ill, my parents divorced, and my life seemed to be cut off. In the past ten years, a lot of emotions have been missing in growing up, and because of the "auspicious and ruyi" filmed by his younger brother Dapeng, life is complete.
In fact, when Li Li was a child, Wang Jixiang became grumpy and capricious because of illness, and often lost his temper and beat her.
Li Li followed her mother away from the family where there was no hope, and left for 10 years.
Through the movie, Li Li truly understands the family affection she once neglected, and she will cherish her family even more in the days to come.
After all, the family is a family, and the blood is linked to each other.
Dapeng promised him to take on all of his uncle's pension problems, and he arranged for the staff to find the best nursing home in his hometown to show his family.
However, if wang Jixiang was really sent away, no one could bear it or be reluctant to do so.
The four siblings of "Wenwu Xianggui", including Dapeng's mother, were eventually reluctant to send Wang Jixiang to a nursing home, and have been letting him live in his hometown to take turns to take care of him.
Three months a family, take turns a circle down is a year, the days are like this fine water long flow.
The film was filmed for 4 years, 80 hours of material, and Dapeng stopped shooting several times in the middle of emotional collapse.
Except for Liu Lu, who is a professional actor, everyone else is an ordinary person, Dapeng's relatives and friends.
Dapeng said that he would never make such a movie again, it took 4 years, and he could not make it several times during the period.
The film originally ended with Dapeng's car driving out of the village, tired and asleep in the car, and the camera slowly went away.
However, Dapeng always felt that this was not the ending he wanted, and he kept flipping through the material he had shot over the years.
He found a 2008 image of his grandmother, who was wearing a festive red cotton jacket, and his uncle Wang Jixiang had very young black hair and a red window flower with "auspicious ruyi".
Dapeng was stunned for half a day like he had been hit at once, and in a trance he felt that everything was providence.
It is Grandma, from the teeth to the dream come true, Grandma's love has always been achieving him.
And he didn't say goodbye to his grandmother.
"Auspicious" won an award when it was still a short film, and Dapeng was never happy about it.
He said, what is the use of winning the award, grandma is gone.
Dapeng occasionally thinks that this series of accidents has made the film and him, and he would rather not have these accidents.
He said that if he could choose, he only wanted to keep his grandmother, not to exchange the departure of his relatives and his own pain.
Time keeps passing, another Spring Festival is coming, the tragic and happy stories in the world are still playing out, and the auspicious window flowers are still red and festive.
May all the family members of the blind date, near and far, be auspicious and happy.
