Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 428 "Dog Thirteen"

Autumn in Hokkaido is almost a world of maple leaves.

Starting from the Daisetsuzan Mountains and the surrounding Kamikawa Town, to Onuma Park, the KIJIHIKI Plateau in Hokuto City, and Hokkaido City, the two stopped and lingered.

Of course, in addition to the maple leaves, there are hot springs everywhere, plump long-legged crabs, king crabs, and salmon... Taking advantage of the cool autumn, it feels really refreshing to soak in hot springs to relax your muscles and bones while eating seafood delicacies.

Today they came to Lake Akan in Doto.

Lake Akan is located in the eastern part of Hokkaido, Japan. It is a crater lake with beautiful scenery. It is a mysterious lake where Chlorella, a special natural monument, grows. Mingmei insists on coming here, mainly because she wants to soak in hot springs.

There is a hot spring street here with a long history, especially at night soaking in the steaming hot spring under the starry sky is definitely a great enjoyment.

In fact, what interested Yu Dongqing was that this place used to be the filming location of "If You Are the One" starring Ge You in Time and Space.

In the movie, Xiaoxiao said to Qin Fen, "Can you accompany me to Hokkaido", and their romantic trip to Hokkaido began.

It's hard to say how the movie was shot, but the scenery inside is beautiful.

Yu Dongqing also took Mingmei to Beibin Station, the place where Qin Fen and Xiaoxiao's trip to Hokkaido started in "If You Are the One".

It is said that it has the reputation of being the nearest station to the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, and it is also the closest station to the sea in the world. It can also enjoy the lingering and graceful mountain scenery around Shiretoko.

The platform is small, and the wood-built Beibin Station is simple, warm and unattended.There is an observatory here, where you can see the Shiretoko Mountains on the Shiretoko Peninsula in the distance.

Yu Dongqing stood here, looking into the distance leisurely.

"Honey, what are you doing here?" Mingmei didn't understand.

"Didn't you find it beautiful here? Is it suitable for filming?" Yu Dongqing said, spreading from the wooden wall to the traveler's memo, and took one off: it read:

"May 30 years later, we are still holding hands."

Mingmei didn't pay attention to the note in Yu Dongqing's hand, but looked at the surrounding scenery: "Yes, it must be very romantic to shoot a movie here! Brother-in-law, do you want to shoot?"

Yu Dongqing shook her head: "Just talking casually."

"If you don't want to shoot, then I'll do it! I don't want to be an actor, I want to be a director and make movies in my old profession! I haven't made a film for a long time!" Mingmei said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, you shoot."

"Then you have to write me a script!"

"well."

What else can Yu Dongqing say about her little wife?
"Come on, I'll take a photo of you first!" Yu Dongqing said as she lifted up the Canon camera that had been with her for many years, and with a click, a bright smiling face in a khaki windbreaker and A-line skirt was frozen in the photo.

The two returned to the Heya Hotel where they lived, and went to rest in their room.

Yu Dongqing didn't understand Japanese, she lay on the bed and swiped her phone, but Mingmei understood, she turned on the TV with great interest, and started to watch the local news.

"Oh, this girl is so miserable!" Mingmei suddenly called out.

"What's the matter?" Yu Dongqing sat up and saw the announcer broadcasting a piece of news seriously on the screen, but he couldn't understand it.

"It was said on TV that in Kushiro City, where Lake Akan is located, a girl committed suicide. It was said that her parents divorced and followed her father. Later, her stepmother gave birth to a boy. Her father treated her differently from her younger brother. In the end, the girl couldn't accept it and committed suicide by jumping off the building."

Oh.
"This kind of thing is very common, let alone in RI, it is not new in our country." Yu Dongqing said: "There are many problems in family reorganization, and children, especially adolescent girls, are inherently sensitive and suspicious. It’s not good, it’s easy to get into trouble.”

Speaking of this, Yu Dongqing suddenly noticed that Mingmei was in a daze, and immediately thought of something: "Mingmei, you don't think of Tongtong, do you?"

"That's not the case, you and I are very kind to Tongtong, even if we have our own children in the future, we will treat Tongtong well." Mingmei explained.

"But...does Tongtong think so? She's a little upset when we come here to play." Mingmei said.

Hey.
It's hard to guess what a girl's mind is like when she's a father.

Yu Dongqing had no choice but to say: "No matter what, we love her!"

"Yeah, I'm going to love her even more than before!"

It's just, is the love she gives her child what she needs?

Yu Dongqing couldn't figure it out either.

Regarding this question, Yu Dongqing suddenly remembered a youth film made in that time and space.

"Dog Thirteen"

Directed by Cao Baoping, starring Zhang Xueying, Guo Jinglin, etc., the film tells the story of a girl's brutal transformation from childhood to adulthood. The filming of this film was delayed for five years before it was released.

The content of the film involves the reorganization of the family, the relationship between the sexes, the rebellion in adolescence until it is suppressed and pulled, and the traditional educational thinking of patriarchy.

The film was shot very well, and the Douban score was relatively high. It won the Special Recommendation Award from the International Jury of the Crystal Bear Section of the Berlin Film Festival, and the Best Film Award at the Yanjing College Student Film Festival, etc., but the box office was not very good.

Maybe it's because there are no beautiful college romances, adult life blames, no rape, abortion, no car accidents or even "tears" that are often seen in youth movies?
"Brother-in-law, what are you thinking?" Mingmei asked curiously seeing Yu Dongqing in a daze.

"Oh nothing."

Yu Dongqing came to her senses, looked at Mingmei and suddenly her heart moved: "Mingmei, didn't you say you want to make a movie? I think of a script plot, do you want to make it?"

"Which aspect?"

"It's a bit similar to the news you just said."

"Okay. Tell me." Mingmei snuggled up beside Yu Dongqing.

Yu Dongqing has been talking about it since then.

The storyline of "Dog Thirteen":

Li Wan is 12 years old, just entered junior high school, and lives with his elderly grandparents.Her mother left home when she was young, and her father remarried and gave birth to a younger brother with her stepmother. She is in adolescence and longs for understanding, companionship and love.

The father was anxious about how to inform Li Wan of the arrival of the newborn, but accidentally got into a dispute over schoolwork, so the father decided to buy a puppy to persuade his daughter.Li Wan, who loves physics, named the puppy "Einstein".

But the puppy was lost in an accident, and Li Wan was very sad about Einstein's loss, and his family was also disturbed by it.

In order to appease Li Wan, the family replaced Einstein with another puppy of the same breed.Under the pressure of the whole family, Li Wan became more and more silent.

The addition of a stepmother and a new brother made Li Wan feel like an outsider. When the family called the new puppy "Einstein", she began to find that she could not escape the lies woven for her by the adult world, but faced with her father's authoritarian majesty , In the end, there was only a compromise, and in the end she "grew up".

At Li Wan's school entrance banquet, her father's friend didn't know, and ordered a special dish for her, dog.

The adults at the table all looked ugly and kept silent.Li Wan just hesitated for a moment, then said "Thank you Uncle", and raised his chopsticks.
In the Chinese-style education of "be obedient", Li Wan has also completed her "adult ceremony".

After hearing the story told by Yu Dongqing, Mingmei remained silent.

After a while, he said, "Husband, write it down, and I'll shoot it."
