Chapter 32 It turns out that I am a migrant worker
Rong Guang still has a very clear understanding of his own films.
If you don’t discuss the box office, it’s a metaphysics. How many classic films are so popular that even my mother doesn’t recognize them after they are released? How many bad films have become box office harvesters and make a lot of money? Therefore, there is no way to discuss it.
No one can predict it accurately.
As a film competing for awards at a film festival, there is a set of standards.
For example, the film "Add a Long Shot" is not very complete. It is above the average qualification level and cannot reach the excellent level at all. There are still so many small flaws and logical errors. Therefore, in the eyes of the expert judges, it can be shortlisted.
The main competition unit is very reluctant, and winning the grand prize is even more unrealistic.
The only bonus point is the tribute film. But how much bonus point can that get? I can only rely on God's blessing.
Seeing that his father's expectations seemed to be too high, Rong Guang smiled and said: "Dad, the possibility of winning an award is very small. Think about it, half of the shot has already been taken, and I will continue to take the next shot. There will be no loopholes."
Rong Degen can understand this point: "Well, the foundation has been crooked. It's a pity. But you still have to have a fighting spirit. Even if you don't get first place, it's not bad to get a medal."
"Haha." Rong Guang continued to explain, "This is like participating in the Olympics. I just have the qualifications for the Olympics. But my results are among the bottom ones. The only thing that matters is participation. Don't have high expectations."
"Qualifying for the Olympics is not bad." Qi Xiulian took a piece of fish for Rong Guang and argued dotingly, "If you can qualify for the Olympics, isn't it the National Games champion? There is one in our county, isn't he the National Games champion?
Didn't the top eight come back as leaders after retirement? Let me tell you, our son is much better than him."
Qi Xiulian's fallacy seemed to make sense and caused a burst of laughter.
Drinking rice wine, Rong Degen became more and more interested. He talked about some interesting things at home: "Look, my son is going to be a leader, and he will definitely be able to eat royal food in the future. It's good for your mother. She went to your grandmother's house a few days ago.
In the village, I had a big quarrel with the village party secretary."
"Oh?" Rong Guang became curious. His parents had always been good-tempered, so why would they quarrel? And it was with the village party secretary. They probably didn't have the courage at all.
Immediately afterwards, Rong Degen and Qi Xiulian exchanged words with each other and gave an overview to Rong Guang.
It turns out that this involves a household registration issue. Rong Degen was transferred from rural to non-agriculture, while Qi Xiulian has always had a rural household registration. The current household registration policy is still quite tight, and the children's household registration follows their mother's.
Since Rong Guang is a rural person, according to the policy, he should be allocated homestead and private land in his village. His parents were afraid that Rong Guang would not be able to survive in the capital, so they left him a way out here. If it didn't work out,
Then go back to your hometown and farm, then you won’t starve to death, right?
After understanding this, Rong Guang was immediately happy. This was the first time in his two lives that he heard about this. He was actually a migrant worker? Maybe in his previous life, he had always retained his qualifications for rural homestead and private land. Just because
I have never been back to my hometown, so I have not activated it.
Seeing that his parents were so proud, for them, accomplishing this was indeed like completing a legendary mission. But Rong Guang really didn't need it. He couldn't go back to his hometown to farm.
However, good intentions must be taken with heart. Rong Guang said with a smile: "I know my mother is the best."
"That's right." Qi Xiulian smiled from ear to ear.
"Then leave it there for now. Maybe I can take root in the capital in the future and pick you up?"
"We can't get used to living in the capital. The winter there is too cold." Rong Degen shook his head.
Qi Xiulian immediately laughed and scolded: "My son can get used to it, but you can't? I've never heard of you being spoiled? Dad, when your son marries a wife, you don't want to have grandchildren?"
"Hmm? There should be heating in the winter in the capital, right? Then it'll be fine."
Amidst laughter, Rong Guang finally found the opportunity to say the most important thing: "Dad, why do you look so bad when I see you this time?"
"No way?" Rong Degen touched his face hesitantly, "Maybe he didn't rest, right?"
"It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up. Instead of going to the county hospital, let's go to the people's hospital in the city. I happen to have to go to the city bureau to apply for a passport, so we'll go together then. Mom, you should also have a physical check-up." Seeing that my parents were confused, my parents were confused.
Looking at himself with relief, Rong Guang persuaded with a smile, "I went abroad to participate in a film festival, and I won't be able to come back for at least a month or two, and I won't be able to take care of my family. This time you have checked it out, so I can rest assured. Yes.
Bar?"
Rong Degen and Qi Xiulian were both soft-hearted people with no ideas. Rong Guang seemed to make sense, so he made a decision for himself. After thinking about it, he finally nodded reluctantly...
…
Two days later, Rong Guang carried a large bag of medicine and accompanied Rong Degen and Qi Xiulian out of the hospital. Seeing the old couple with sad faces, he smiled and comforted: "Didn't the doctor say that you should take the medicine on time and go to the hospital for examination on time?
.There is no need for surgery or hospitalization, so what do you have to worry about?"
"Hey! It's really impossible not to check. People are really getting old." Rong Degen sighed, "I can't smoke or drink anymore from now on."
Rong Guang was quite happy in his heart, finally changing their fate in time: "If you quit, just quit, you can enjoy more things. And mom, she said you have a bad heart, so you can't work too hard."
"I got it, baby." Qi Xiulian still had a strong psychological quality and quickly returned to normal, "Dad, let's live longer and think about our grandson."
Rong Degen perked up: "Yes! It's better to die than live."
Qi Xiulian immediately laughed and scolded: "You old man, how can you talk? How can you still live?"
"..."
In the following days, Rong Guang stayed with his parents. He lived a very slow life with food in his mouth and hands in clothes. In his free time, he walked with his father and helped his mother get groceries. Sometimes he went to visit his hometown.
Snacks and sometimes meeting relatives.
Finally, the day came when the passport came. Suddenly, the chatter between my father and the neighbors was heard downstairs: "Stop smoking me! Now I have quit smoking and drinking. Xiaoguang is going to some film festival abroad, just like
Participate in the Olympics. To qualify for the Olympics, you must at least be a National Games champion, right? You said..."
Hearing his dad showing off and laughing, and seeing his mom busy in the kitchen, Rong Guang lit up a cigarette and smiled happily.
Looking at the burning clouds in the distance, I will return to the capital tomorrow.
It was a new journey and a new starting point for me. I was debt-free and I no longer had any baggage. I couldn’t just be an ordinary reborn person? I should have a higher goal!
