I rely on talking to brush the copy

The man's purchasing behavior was beyond Le Jing's expectation. He knew that a Shanghai newspaper had reprinted "The Rise of Dynasties", and he received a large sum of reprint fees for it. But he didn't expect that "Rise of Dynasties" would be so popular in Shanghai, and even spawn a human flesh purchasing business.

Le Jing was a little happy.

Writing is a lonely and long career. Buddhism is like Lejing. I also hope that the content and ideas I convey through my works can be read by more people. As long as reading, it will bring about thinking, thinking will make people sober, and sober people will have independent thoughts.

He hopes that his works can trigger people's thinking, become the kindling that ignites some kind of terrifying thoughts, and push the wheel of history a little forward.

Le Jing didn't know how big a storm his little butterfly would cause in the future, but he did everything he could. To borrow the words of a certain French emperor: After I die, even if there is a flood behind me.

The three of them stopped and went, and the original two-day journey was lengthened to more than a week.

By the time they found Ji Qi in Shanghai, Director Ji Qi was already going crazy.

"Why are you so slow!" Ji Qi said helplessly: "Originally, I wanted to invite you to watch the premiere together."

"It's not too late." Le Jing said with a smile: "The movie has been broadcast now, right? What's the response been like?"

Li Shuran also looked at Ji Qi curiously. This time I heard that her brother's novel had been adapted into a movie. The little girl was so excited that she urged Le Jing to hurry up on the road. Le Jing wanted to take her to play for a few more days but refused. He only wanted to go to Shanghai to watch Le Jing's new movie.

As soon as he heard this question, Ji Qi immediately became excited: "The response was extremely good! The theater was full, and even many illiterate audiences knew the movie lines by heart. Many people walked out of the theater with their eyes swollen from crying. Some The weak female students fainted from tears!”

Le Jing raised his eyebrows and wondered: "Crying? Didn't you change the ending? I thought the audience would leave with a smile."

It would be fine if this question was asked by someone else, but it was the author Le Jing who asked this question. Ji Qi's expression suddenly became complicated: "...my changes are also based on the original work." The implication is that sir, your work itself is a tragedy. Even if it changes the ending, it will not become a comedy that can make people laugh.

Ji Qi also knew Le Jing's general idea of ​​adapting the work, but he only had a rough idea. In order to maintain a lasting curiosity and interest in the film, Le Jing has not read the complete script. He wants to personally experience this new story based on his work.

That night, Le Jing finally sat in the cinema. With Ji Qi coming forward, the seats they were sitting in were naturally the best seats in the cinema, and the tickets they used were also internal complimentary tickets given by the cinema. So a small episode happened before watching the movie.

The boss of the cinema knew Ji Qi. As soon as the staff said that Ji Qi was coming, he walked out to greet Ji Qi enthusiastically. The two chatted for a while, and Boss Deng couldn't wait to cast his eyes on the three Le Jing people beside Ji Qi: "Who are these?"

Ji Qi answered vaguely: "These are my friends, and I am accompanying them to watch a movie this time."

Boss Deng's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he asked tentatively: "With all due respect, I have long heard that Boss Ji and Mr. Night Watchman are friends. Is it possible...?"

Le Jing glanced at Ji Qi, and Ji Qi immediately said: "I'm afraid I have disappointed Boss Deng. Mr. Night Watchman is not in good health and did not come this time."

Boss Deng's eyes dimmed visibly, "Indeed, Peiping is still too far from Shanghai." He sighed, and said to Ji Qi with a wry smile: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I cry every time I watch her, Bai Moli is a good woman, but her life is too miserable.”

Boss Deng paused and looked a little excited: "Later, I tried every means to collect other novels by Mr. Night Watchman. Even the book "The Last Man Who Doesn't Take Drugs" that has been banned by the Peking government, I got it through some connections. , the more I read, the more I admire Mr. Night Watchman! In my opinion, these people cannot write such articles unless they have great wisdom and compassion!”

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that my husband has been living in seclusion. Except for the time he was released from prison, he has never been interviewed again. I have never had the opportunity to meet him. I thought this was an opportunity, but I didn't expect that my husband was too weak to bear the boat ride." Lawton, alas!”

His last heavy sigh was like a heavy hammer that hit many people's hearts. Ji Qi couldn't help but look at Le Jing: Readers like you so much, don't you express it? Even Li Shuran and Yang Jinglun looked at Le Jing.

Le Jing:……

Although Le Jing was very grateful to Boss Deng for his love and recognition of his work, he did not intend to reveal his identity. He always believes that the best relationship between an author and a reader begins with the work and ends with the work. As long as the reader likes the work, there is no need to transfer his love for the work to the author.

So he smiled and said to Boss Deng: "In that case, you can write a letter to the night watchman and ask Director Jiqi to forward it to you."

Boss Deng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Ji Qi expectantly: "Wouldn't this be too troublesome?"

Ji Qi showed a meaningful smile: "No trouble, don't worry, the night watchman will definitely reply to your letter."

Boss Deng misunderstood, thinking that Ji Qi was trying to use favors for himself to get the night watchman to reply to him. He was so moved that he thanked Ji Qi repeatedly and even wanted to invite Ji Qi to dinner, but Ji Qi declined. The two chatted for a while before Ji Qi got rid of the particularly enthusiastic Boss Deng.

He silently rolled his eyes at Le Jing, who was watching the show next to him, "Just have fun secretly!"

…

The movie screen lit up, and Le Jing put back his wandering thoughts and focused all his attention on the movie.

Unlike the novel, which begins with Bai Peony's near-death scene, the film begins with several prostitutes sitting around having tea and laughing. So one prostitute said to her companions while eating melon seeds: "Hey, do you know that a famous prostitute named Bai Moli also lived in my house ten years ago?"

The companion rolled his eyes casually, "Famous prostitute? How famous is she? Is Xiao Juhong famous? In the end, wasn't the straw mat thrown into a mass grave?" The companion curled his lips and revealed a cold sarcastic smile: "We are like this You damn person, no matter how glorious you are during your lifetime, how many of you will die a happy death in the end?" This statement was echoed by several other prostitutes.

The prostitute who spoke first raised the corners of her lips mysteriously: "The white jasmine I told you is different."

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that she redeemed herself successfully and became free..."

Then the movie screen jumps and begins to talk about Bai Moli's legendary and ordinary life.

In the article, Bai Moli's early life basically continued the same plot as Le Jing's novel: she contracted a heart disease and slowly fell from the Qingyin class to a fourth-class brothel. The money she saved was stolen repeatedly by the madam and his shopkeepers. The prostitutes I met were insulted, and they were beaten all over by their clients. The dream of self-redemption was shattered again and again...

As the plot progressed, the sound of crying could be heard in the cinema. Li Shuran also cried and burped. Through the flickering light and shadow, Le Jing discovered that even Yang Jinglun was secretly wiping away his tears.

Le Jing also felt a little emotional. Qiu Ju, who played Bai Moli, really brought the role of Bai Moli to life, especially the look of despair and helplessness in Bai Moli's eyes when she found out that her money had been stolen by the madam again. It was really amazing!

Compared with the original work, the movie has made many changes, the biggest change being the girl Bai Moli adopts and sponsors. This girl Le Jing only has a few characters in the novel, but she has many more scenes in the movie. The scene where she and Bai Moli cling to each other and lick their wounds is also a rare tender scene in the early stage of the movie.

Then the plot took a turn when the seriously ill Bai Moli was dragged to a mass grave by the madam and his waiter to be buried. , the little girl has grown into a big girl. Because of Bai Moli's support, she went to school successfully and passed the exam of a government-sponsored international student. When she was studying in the United States, she lived frugally and worked hard, and finally saved enough to pay for the ransom of white peony.

She originally wanted to give her a surprise when she returned home without telling Bai Moli, but she didn't expect to hear the news from a prostitute she knew that the madam wanted to kill Bai Moli. She ran desperately to the mass grave and rescued Bai Moli at the last moment.

Later, after Bai Moli was cured by a doctor hired by her sister, she went to study in the United States with her sister. At the end of the plot, Bai Moli, dressed in a white nurse uniform, shuttled gracefully in the ward, caring for the patients with a smile, and the patients respectfully shouted "Nurse Bai!"

Le Jing heard Li Shuran let out a long sigh of relief, and even Yang Jinglun waved his fist excitedly and whispered: "Great!"

Their reactions were by no means isolated. There was even a girl in the theater who stood up and took the lead in applauding: "Bai Jasmine is awesome!"

The applause in the movie theater came to an abrupt end because of the next shot of the movie.

I saw several prostitutes who were chatting with me reappeared on the screen. After hearing about Bai Moli's long and bizarre life, the prostitutes sighed together after a brief silence.

"How many of us can be as lucky as Bai Moli?"

Then the screen went dark again and the movie ended completely.

In the deep silence, several loud sobs suddenly sounded, and then were quickly crushed by the noisy voice.

When walking out of the cinema along the turbulent sea of ​​people, Le Jing could see many people were silent with red and swollen eyes, but there were also many people who were laughing and talking about the plot with their friends.

Li Shuran was silent along the way. It wasn't until she was approaching the hotel that she couldn't help but ask Le Jing: "Brother, how can we make all prostitutes as lucky as Bai Moli?"

Le Jing lowered his head and answered seriously: "After the profession of being a prostitute completely ceases to exist."

Li Shuran asked again: "Then how can we abolish the profession of prostitutes?"

Ji Qi sighed and joined in the conversation: "This matter is difficult to say and easy to say."

Yang Jinglun also said: "Yeah, let's see if those in power have the courage and determination. Otherwise, we will just rely on the sympathy and anger of the people..." He shook his head with a smile and said bluntly: "It is difficult to reach the sky. "

Le Jing also sighed inwardly. Since ancient times, any reform has been easier from the bottom up. Le Jing prefers to call this kind of reform a revolution.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two cancers of the old society, drugs and prostitutes, were eradicated. It was only because the new parties overturned the table and started anew.

All this is based on a strong central government led by idealists and a strong and loyal army that obeys orders. If any of these factors are missing, this dying country will not be able to come back to life so quickly.

The three adults fell into silence, and only Li Shuran said naively: "Then I will study hard and become a high-ranking official in the future, so that the prostitutes can live a good life."

Le Jing curled his lips because of this naive and somewhat ridiculous dream, touched the soft top of the little girl's head, and encouraged: "Come on."

Women's rights are fought for bit by bit through the unremitting struggle of generations of pioneers.

In the not-too-distant future, it is precisely because millions of women went to the battlefield, fighting and killing like men in traditional concepts, with iron-blooded bravery, and with countless blood and lives that they finally promoted the legislative rights of various countries and gave women the right to participate in politics.

In the following decades, women have been involved in politics, scientific research, economy, literature and other aspects, and even space has left women's footprints.

Only then will history remember the faces of women little by little.

However, no one will cherish the rights that are not fought for by themselves. Under the instigation of some greedy and short-sighted people, the escape of some selfish people, and the oppression of some people who enjoy superior gender power, women's rights have suffered various stigmatizations in modern times, and social customs have even reversed.

History is a spiral. Human beings themselves are a race that will never learn lessons and will repeat mistakes.

Le Jing is not worried about the prospects of women's rights.

Because human nature is to seek benefits and avoid harm. When most women find that their living space is squeezed, they will naturally begin to speak for their own interests. Before that, there may be a lot of suffering, there may be a lot of sacrifices, but every struggle is valuable. Because history is a spiral, but it is still upward.

After sitting in Le Jing's hotel for a while, Ji Qi soon said goodbye and went home.

However, a few hours later, when Le Jing was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, his door was suddenly knocked.

Ji Qi's anxious voice came from outside the door: "Li Jingran! Get up quickly, something big has happened!"

Le Jing put on his clothes and checked into the room, "What happened?"

Ji Qi was sweating and panting: "The telegram from the Literary Newspaper was sent to my house. The telegram said that an editor of the newspaper had revealed that you had republished a novel under the new pen name Mai Tian, ​​and your new address was also dug out. I don't know how many reporters are outside, and many people have published articles in the newspaper saying that they will ban you in Beiping!"

He wiped the sweat from his head and said: "Why don't you stay in Shanghai and don't go back."
