Chapter 328 [Dead]

2022, April 9.

If it is the most popular movie on the Internet, it is definitely Bao Shiyi's directorial debut "Fruit Candy". If it is the most popular novel, it is definitely Bao Shili's latest novel "Su Yuan".

They are two completely different stories, but they are like an explosion, directly blowing up the netizens on the Internet to death.

Even Bao Shiyi didn't expect that after the story of "Su Yuan", the explosive negative energy value would be terrifying, and it would be extremely cruel.Compared with the fear value of "Hard Candy", the sad value and abuse value of "Suyuan" are really rising exponentially.

As long as the netizens and readers who read this story are abused to the extreme by the words in the novel.

"After what happened to us Suyuan, what is the saddest thing? 'Can't go to school, and my parents can't go to work because of me, and they spent a lot of money. The uncle asked me to hold an umbrella for him. I thought about it too. Just go straight, but I think I should hold an umbrella for the uncle in the rain, so I hold it for him, but people say it's my fault, and no one praises me.'”

"I always want to go back to the past after sleeping, but when I wake up in the morning, I find that there is still no change. It's so sad. My grandma used to say, ouch, I'm going to die. This is probably the meaning of life."

"The loneliest people are the kindest, and the hurt people always smile the brightest, because they don't want the people around them to suffer the same pain."

……

"Obviously the one who accepted the apology, why did he run away?"

"There are so many children in the world, why is it that only my children have encountered this kind of thing? It's better for all children to experience this kind of thing, so that my children will not be the only ones who receive attention, so don't be sad. Every time I think this way, I will I will feel sorry for the child in my stomach, because I am so bad to the bone, so my child will suffer like this, and I also have this kind of thought. Every time I clean up the child's poop bag, I will ask myself when it will end. "

……

So when will it end?
It may not end, just like from "The Melting Pot" to "Su Yuan", netizens are really exploded about the sexual assault now, the number of Bao Shiyi's Weibo comments keeps rising, and he has been hanging on Weibo headlines.

Obviously, this is the degree of exposure and topicality. This topic cannot be avoided and must be confronted head-on.

Song Qing, a well-known domestic female director, reposted Bao Shiyi's novel "Suyuan" on Weibo, and directly expressed on Weibo that she couldn't cry after reading this story. She wanted to film this story, just to Let the public face this matter.

In fact, there is no need for Song Qing to say that now the novel "Suyuan" has forced the media to face up to the word "sexual assault", Suyuan's eyes and the sentence "I did something wrong" Yet?"

The popularity of the topic remains high, and the influence does not continue. With such high attention, more and more memories of sexual assault have been brought up. It is like being stirred up for a while. There was a silent silence, but now such things are accumulating more and more, like a huge vortex swallowing those painful memories, the vortex is getting bigger and bigger, it seems that everyone will be involved.

That horrific vortex made the netizens and the media feel terrified, because since the release of "Hard Candy", the topics of sexual abuse of children and protection of minors have been appearing in the news, and they have been Reported, repeatedly reported.

Or maybe nothing changed in the end.

However, as a netizen said, "We fight all the way, not to change the world, but to prevent the world from changing us."

Even if nothing changes in the end, they can’t be changed by this world when faced with such cruelty and ruthlessness. Just like Bao Shiyi said at the beginning, the sky is always dark, so survive in the dark; making a sound is If it is dangerous, then keep silent; if you feel powerless to shine, then crouch in a corner.But don't justify the darkness when you get used to it;We may be humbled like dust, not twisted like maggots.

It's not dangerous to make a sound now, maybe it's small and humble and useless to make a sound like that, but at least they're not silent and twisted like maggots.

……

Xu Qi sat across from Bao Shiyi, with a heavy heart. She came here this time to talk to Bao Shiyi about the publication of "Su Yuan".

Bao Shiyi published the novel "Suyuan" on Weibo, which surprised Xu Qi, because Bao Shiyi had never published a novel on Weibo before, and he thought it was a short story, but he didn't expect it to be——

Thinking of "Su Yuan", Xu Qi's heart hurts.

When the movie "Hard Candy" was released, the editors of Liucheng Publishing House went to the cinema to watch it together. After being frightened, a male colleague said that some scenes in "Hard Candy" were too extreme, and the 14-year-old girl Hai Li was also very extreme. , but after reading "Su Yuan" written by Bao Shiyi, that male colleague never said that again.

The answer is pretty clear, male colleagues don't see themselves as twisted maggots.

I used to think that Haili was extreme, and such things should be handled by the law, but in the law of "Suyuan", she was sentenced to 12 years in the end. The assault case made the male colleague speechless.

If he was Suyuan's father in the novel, maybe he would really torture that beast to death like Haili did.

All the pain has to be experienced by that beast, whether it is physical castration or psychological castration, the male colleague knows very well that at that time he will take revenge even more crazily than Haili.

"Eleventh, the story of "Suyuan" is really sad, and now I understand why you want to make the movie "Hard Candy"."

Xu Qi's voice was very heavy when he said this, and it was not as excited and excited as it was at the beginning.

Although "Hard Candy" is a very cool revenge movie, there is a very painful sad story behind this movie.

Listening to Xu Qi's words, Bao Shiyi smiled noncommittally, that smile was a bit cold.

If it weren't for those harsh words, maybe he wouldn't have thought about the story of "Suyuan", because at first he just wanted revenge, just wanted to vent, those words were too harsh, and those people were too harsh, so he Will directly put the bloody story in front of those people.

What is torture, what is pain, what is hurt.

Xu Qi looked at Bao Shiyi's eyes, with a cold look in them, and suddenly remembered what she and editor-in-chief Chen Xing had said a long time ago that Bao Shiyi was desperate for human nature, but now it seems that it is not Bao Shiyi who is desperate. Eleven's views on human nature, but the dark side of this society.

"Eleventh, this time I came here to talk to you about the publication of "Suyuan", and there is a magazine that wants to interview you and ask you for a manuscript, which is about the very big sexual assault right now. word."

Bao Shiyi shook his head and said, "No, now, but all the time, starting from "The Melting Pot", or earlier, and it's still happening now."

Hearing Bao Shiyi's words, Xu Qi's face froze. She understood Bao Shiyi's meaning, and thought of the sad memories that kept popping up under Bao Shiyi's novel, those inhumane and heart-wrenching things. , she felt her scalp go numb.

If you hadn't opened up that darkness and tore that wound open, you don't know how deep this wound is, and how many sad memories are trapped inside this wound.

After a long time, Xu Qi nodded and said: "Yes, a colleague of mine also said that before he didn't understand why he made a movie about a 14-year-old girl torturing a pedophile. This scale is very large, but now he You know, we all know that too."

"It's because things like this are happening all the time, so I hope there are girls like Haili. If the law can't effectively punish evil and promote good, Haili needs to cut down those who have no regrets. Sophisticated bastard."

Xu Qi is not the only one who has such thoughts. When "Su Yuan" appeared, Haili in "Hard Candy" seemed to be the final revenge, and she really came to punish that damned beast.

……

Listening to Xu Qi's words, Bao Shiyi shook his head, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, ""Hard Candy" is a movie, but "Suyuan" is a fact. Isn't that ironic?"

"It's not like Haili will come to avenge Suyuan."

For some unknown reason, an idea popped into Xu Qi's mind, and he said, "If the story of "Su Yuan" has a follow-up story, even if there is no Hai Li to take revenge, I still hope that the kind-hearted big-headed little fat man next door can take it. His guilt turned into protecting Suyuan all the time, accompanying her through difficult adolescence, and marrying her in the end, of course it would be great to never leave her, but... I know that is a bit too a fairy tale."

As she said that, Xu Qi felt it was ridiculous, because what she thought was really naive.

"If the criminal didn't die in prison and came out after 12 years, and Suyuan didn't recover, and was still alive with psychological trauma and suicide shadows, then it would be good for Suyuan to die with him."

Xu Qi said, but Bao Shiyi didn't answer.

Immediately, the two fell into a strange silence, because they both knew very well that this was not the end of "Su Yuan".

Perhaps, the real ending is like the daughter of a counselor, who finally chose to commit suicide.

After a long silence, Bao Shiyi said inexplicably, "Since such things are happening all the time, after the pain, there is still death waiting."

Xu Qi obviously didn't understand what Bao Shiyi meant.

Why do you say—

After the pain, is there death waiting?
