This time, Xiao Ran still did not go to the Golden Horse Awards, but Lin Qingxia and Wei Dongling, who was eager to go on stage to win the award, went. At the Golden Horse Awards, "The Spy" swept the entire army and took away several technical awards. And "The Dark Flower" naturally won
He won the Best Director and the Best Screenplay, the Best Picture was won by "Carmen", and the Best Actor was both won by "Alang's Story".
At this Golden Horse Awards, with the exception of a few awards that were lost to local Taiwanese films, Phantom had a complete victory. After the celebration banquet, Xiao Ran accompanied Lin Qingxia and her family to spend the Spring Festival.
In March 1989, Lin Qingxia and other crew members went to the mainland to film "New Dragon Inn", and Xiao Ran also went with them. He wanted to see his biological parents, but something unexpected happened last time, which delayed the plan.
, there can be no further delay this time.
At this time, Sony was already ready to extend an olive branch to Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola also seemed to be eager to sell Colombia to Sony, just as they were in intense negotiations.
Xiao Ran returned to his hometown, which is a beautiful small town. What a beautiful place, with traces of green everywhere. Spring has already hatched traces of spring on the branches, and it is also a fresh and happy feeling.
Xiao Ran was already vague about what his hometown looked like at this time. Returning this time, he immediately opened up every shadow of childhood happiness in his memory. Not long after entering this small town, Xiao Ran urgently called a stop. Both Sunshine and Monkey were
He stopped the car in shock.
This Mercedes-Benz is obviously very eye-catching in such a small city. Many pedestrians passing by looked at this car with wide eyes, wondering who this rich man was. The sunlight drove away the curious children who came towards it.
, while staring curiously at Xiao Ran who was in a daze.
Xiao Ran stood quietly on this narrow street. In this alley was hidden his happiness for the next few years. He stepped lightly into this alley that was definitely not clean. The monkey and
An Yuxuan quickly followed.
There is a video studio in this alley. Xiao Ran stared blankly at the rows of big characters written in chalk on the small blackboard: Hong Kong's popular gunfight film "A Better Tomorrow" and "Love in the Rivers and Lakes", and the hilarious comedy film "Happy Events in the Family".
There was also a row of words showing in a loop on it, and Xiao Ran couldn't help but want to go in and take a look.
With a sigh, Xiao Ran finally left this place, where he had treasured his memories for many years. However, many years later, this place was demolished, and the memories scattered with the dust of the demolition. On this day, here, he experienced it again
This kind of feeling, the feeling of watching Hong Kong movies in a video hall like crazy. If I hadn't been watching Hong Kong movies in a video hall when I was young, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am now.
This time, Xiao Ran did not get in the car, but walked slowly on the street. Everything in this small city was so familiar to him. He once thought he had forgotten it. But now he discovered that there were some things
It is really something that I will never forget in my lifetime, but I just thought I had forgotten it.
Look, isn't this the ideal barber shop where he often comes to get a haircut? However, he hates the barber who always shaves his hair short. Now he realizes that this barber is
How avant-garde, it was made ahead of the trend of more than ten years later.
Isn't this the middle school he went to? He still remembered that there was a kind of food outside the school, which was a very delicious snack. Unfortunately, he couldn't remember what it was called. He invited the three of them to sit down and enjoy themselves here.
After eating snacks, Xiao Ran walked towards the students who were finishing school at noon with the joy of reliving memories.
Look, isn't that the guy who once rode on a little girl and was scolded by the female teacher for being a gangster? Look at the other one, Xiao Ran recognized it. It was his classmate in junior high school because he saw a woman giving birth to a baby on TV.
As a result, when he asked Xiao Ran in class how women gave birth to children, the female teacher pinched his ears and almost threw him out of the window.
Look at another very thin guy. Xiao Ran also remembers that that guy and the other one are very interesting. They were not good students in school. One time, the teacher asked them to hand in their homework, which made them anxious. The two guys successively
I jumped over the stairs twice and broke my hand twice. Thinking about it now, it was really interesting.
However, Xiao Ran didn't see him, nor did he see Xiao Ran when he was a child. When he came to his home, he saw his third aunt and sixth uncle whom Xiao Ran thought he had forgotten, as well as the grandfather Yao next door who coughed all day long, and the man who looked like a wolf dog every day.
Aunt Ye, who was also looking for prey on the street and quarreling with each other. Of course, this also included Brother Wu, who often offered one-cent candies to tempt Xiao Ran to call him uncle.
I saw my parents, and they still looked quite young and energetic. My mother, who was looking at these uninvited guests inexplicably at the door, asked with confusion on her face: "Who are you here for?"
An Yuxuan couldn't understand the local dialect here, but Monkey could barely understand it. Xiao Ran resisted the urge to speak his hometown dialect, because he knew very well that given his identity and status, he should never know how to speak it.
Words here.
Therefore, he could only answer in Mandarin: "Are you Yan Wenfang? I'm here to see Xiao Jianguo!"
The name Jianguo was very old-fashioned, Xiao Ran thought so at one time. However, now he had no such idea at all. When he looked at his young and pretty mother, he wanted to hug her and vent his feelings.
emotions. But he knew better that such etiquette was definitely not suitable for the mainland, and he was just afraid that his father would give him a hard punch.
They entered the house. This was a small house allocated by the government. It was no better than public housing. Dad was sitting at the dinner table and asked, "Who is it?" When he looked up, he suddenly found four people.
The guy who was extremely fashionable (that was the word at the time) and looked very rich was looking at the house.
"Are you Xiao Jianguo? My name is Xiao Ran, and I'm here to bring you something!" When Xiao Ran saw his father, he couldn't help but think of his old age twenty years later. He suddenly felt excited and almost screamed.
"Send something?" Xiao Jianguo was very confused, but politely he asked Xiao Ran and the others to sit down: "Sit down first and talk slowly, you haven't eaten yet!"
Although the almost inelastic springs of the sofa made An Yuxuan frown, Xiao Ran realized how comfortable it was to sit on the sofa. He knew that this was home. Yang Guang shook his head and said, "We have already eaten
Yes, thank you!”
After his mother also came and sat down, Xiao Ran suppressed his excitement and said slowly: "Mr. Xiao, do you have a brother?"
Xiao Ran had an uncle. In his memory, this uncle was a very weird person. He was busy running around all day long, and he often brought some weird things with him. It wasn’t until he grew up that Xiao Ran knew that the uncle at that time
He was reselling gold antiques or something, but the uncle never achieved anything.
The uncle was very kind to Xiao Ran. He would often hold him while looking at the big tree downstairs and tell stories, such as the story of the Three Kingdoms and the story of Xue Rengui's rebellion against the Tang Dynasty. Although Xiao Ran did not remember these stories at all, he still
I remember that beautiful scene: a tall and bearded middle-aged man sitting on a chair with a child in his arms, looking at the leaves blowing in the wind downstairs and telling the stories that once fascinated Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran even thought that it was probably because of the stories that his uncle had taught him in his early years that he was interested in these legendary things. That was why he was caught and made to stand while reading Jin Yong's novels in class, so
In the eyes of the teacher, he will change from a good student to a bad student who skips class and watches videos.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ran remembered that after his uncle came here once in the second half of last year, he mysteriously said that he was going abroad, and there was no news after that. Until Xiao Ran left that era in 2005, there was no news about his uncle, and his life and death were unknown. Everyone
Everyone thought that he had died outside a long time ago, or that he had died in 1988.
This is also the reason why Xiao Ran chose this time to come. He can push some unexplainable things to his uncle. Although this seems too calculated, Xiao Ran knows better that this is a helpless thing. He can only do this
The processing ability is not suspicious, at least it can be much smaller.
"That's it..." Xiao Ran told the white lie he made up without thinking: "Your brother Xiao Jianmin helped me, but then he passed away due to an accident. So, if I want to repay him, I can only give you some help.
!”
Xiao Jianguo and Yan Wenfang were shocked. There had been no news about Xiao Jianmin in the past year, and they were worried. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran brought the news of his death, and Xiao Jianguo's eyes immediately turned red. Xiao Ran sighed softly at the side
, only by saying this can we dispel the worries that our parents have always had.
He winked at An Yuxuan, who was very restless. An Yuxuan took out a large bag of money from his bag and handed it to the couple. Xiao Ran's nose was sore and he wanted to cry to feel better. But he had to hold it back.
Stay in this mood: "Please accept this money!"
Xiao Jianguo looked up at Xiao Ran in astonishment, and then looked at the money on the table. He was afraid it was less than ten thousand. This frightened him so much that he trembled all over and refused repeatedly: "No, I can't accept this money!"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly, knowing that his father would say this. So he was prepared: "Your brother helped me, I owe him a favor. This little money is nothing, I think they all hope that you can live a better life."
!”
Xiao Ran has no intention of letting his parents leave here, because he knows very well that he no longer belongs to this world. It's not a big problem if you look at it like this, but if you come here often, it will definitely arouse suspicion. They are not in the same world.
It is difficult for people to get together.
The most important thing is that his parents are both stubborn and nostalgic for this place. Even when Xiao Ran left that era, his parents were still in this small town, which is evident from this. Xiao Ran only gave him 20,000 yuan, and he
I know that many families are broken up because of money. If you don't want to cause rifts between parents, this number must be grasped to this extent.
After a few more attempts, Xiao Jianguo finally accepted the money. Xiao Ran waved to An Yuxuan, and An Yuxuan took out a camera. Xiao Ran forced a smile and said, "Why don't we take a picture and go out to take it."
After going downstairs and coming to the big tree in the yard, An Yuxuan looked at the three people standing there and called out a few times before a click sounded. Xiao Ran knew that he was the only one who could maintain and be attached to that relationship.
This is the only photo I have.
Just after the photo was taken, a kid in his early ten years ran into the yard with a lot of dust on his body. When the kid saw Xiao Jianguo and Yan Wenfang, he shouted happily: "Mom, Dad, why are you here?"
Here? I’m starving!”
Xiao Ran looked at this kid in disbelief. This was not the Xiao Ran he had been when he was young. At most, he only had a slight similarity in appearance. With a shock all over his body, Xiao Ran suddenly remembered that it was because of his own variable that the real him was not at all.
This world doesn’t exist?
Sure enough, Xiao Jianguo patted the kid on the head and introduced to Xiao Ran: "Xiao Ran, this is my son, his name is Xiao An. Xiao An, please call me uncle!"
When Xiao An called Xiao Ran uncle, Xiao Ran was shocked. Nothing in the world had changed, but the only thing that had changed automatically was this thing. Xiao Jianguo no longer had a son named Xiao Ran, but another son named Xiao An.
son.
After taking a business card from An Yuxuan and handing it to Xiao Jianguo, Xiao Ran said calmly: "Mr. Xiao, if you have anything to do in the future, you can call me on this number. I forgot to tell you that I am in Hong Kong.
!”
Let's end it like this, let's put an end to the whole thing! Xiao Ran secretly said to himself, now he and his parents are two different worlds. There may be some intersection, but it is absolutely impossible to go hand in hand. The only result is
That’s it…
Moreover, he didn't want to disturb his parents' life, so he just went on a trip by himself. It was like the first time he traveled for several years without ever returning home. However, this trip was a little special, it was a lifetime...
Yan Wenfang looked at the figures getting into the car from a distance, but her eyes seemed to only see one of them. A tear fell from the corner of her eyes involuntarily. After wiping it, she suddenly felt extremely strange: "
Jianguo, I feel like this young man knows us, and I always feel like I know him too, and we have a deep relationship!"
Xiao Jianguo's eyes never left Xiao Ran. It wasn't until the car disappeared that he murmured to himself: "I feel the same way..."
