Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 374 It’s so touching! It’s so touching!

People in the 1980s were generally quite honest, not the kind of people who only wanted to take sides and didn't tell the truth.

To put it simply, if your story is really good and your song is really good, then I will really recognize you and won’t tell lies.

In fact, due to limited time, the revised version of "The Garden of Words" mentioned by Cao Zhiqiang only had a rough story, which was nothing more than a restrained teacher-student love story. It only interested Xu Qingdong, but it was not enough to really impress Xu Qingdong.

What really moved Xu Qingdong was the song called "Rain" played by Cao Zhiqiang on the harmonica.

Xu Qingdong also understands that if he wants to engage in music television, he must have good music.

But nowadays, the level of domestic music producers is really average. Even if there are good composers, they are not available to people of Xu Qingdong’s level.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang finally defeated Xu Qingdong with a suspenseful story of teacher-student love and a song that could definitely seduce everyone.

However, Xu Qingdong did not agree immediately. He wanted Cao Zhiqiang to write the complete script and wait until he saw the real script.

This can be regarded as his persistence as a director.

Xu Qingdong also said at the time that Cao Zhiqiang's story was very good and interesting, but it only had a rough idea and still couldn't be made into a movie, so it needed a script with detailed content.

If Cao Zhiqiang can't write a script, I hope he can write Cao Zhiqiang's story into a script and direct this movie, which is tentatively titled "Love in the Ancient Pavilion".

Of course, I also hope that Cao Zhiqiang can come up with the funds to shoot this movie.

Cao Zhiqiang was very happy when he heard this, and he said that all good things happened to you.

Then Xu Qingdong said that regardless of whether he wrote the script or not, the screenwriter's name could be signed by Cao Zhiqiang. After all, he came up with the main story and would not steal it.

Xu Qingdong was just very interested in this story and also liked the song. He really wanted to film this teacher-student relationship full of depression and restraint.

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang realized that Xu Qingdong was just a pure artist. He simply wanted to make the story of teacher-student love into a movie. He didn't think too much about it. It was Cao Zhiqiang who thought too much.

After realizing this, Cao Zhiqiang, who had drunk a lot, became a little drunk. He said on the spot that he would be given up to three days to write the script.

Later, Cao Zhiqiang really began to retreat, hiding in the hotel room to write scripts.

Since the story of "The Garden of Words" is all ready-made, he only needs to remove some Japanese characteristics and replace them with domestic ones. It is not difficult to pay attention to the characteristics of the times.

After all, the story of "The Garden of Words" itself is very simple, with not many conflicts. The reason why the past life is famous is more because of its artistic conception.

So Cao Zhiqiang's first version of the script was written quickly.

In this first version of the script, there are not many changes. It basically follows the original play, with a slight change in time and location.

The relationship between the characters has basically not changed.

But after Xu Qingdong read it, he shook his head and said that he was not good at details and was not down to earth.

Xu Qingdong also believed that it was just such a story, too simple and too short that it might not even last thirty minutes, so some details and subplots must be filled in.

For example, we need to describe more of the warmth between Aqiu and his younger siblings, and we don’t want the male protagonist to have older brothers and sisters. We want the male protagonist to be the eldest brother, with a younger brother and a younger sister underneath.

We need to make the male protagonist bear more responsibilities and hardships. In this way, out of the responsibility of raising his younger brothers and sisters, he will not be able to elope with others in the end, and he will stand out as a responsible person!

Another example is that Teacher Wen Xue also needs to be given some high-level background.

According to Xu Qingdong's supplement, Wenxue was an educated youth, and his parents were once university professors. However, during the turmoil that year, both parents were exiled to the countryside and died of illness one after another.

Later, with the help of her fellow villagers, she worked hard to get into college and became a teacher after graduation.

Therefore, this Wenxue must be a well-educated person with a family background, be gentle and helpful, and be very popular among students.

Only when the characters are fleshed out will the subsequent conflicts become more intense and better-looking.

So Cao Zhiqiang began to invite Xu Qingdong to stay in the hotel with him and improve the script together.

Finally, after many days of discussion, the two of them finally conceived the second version, which is the final version.

This script is much more down-to-earth and fuller.

In the second version, the male protagonist's name is Xia Qiu, he is sixteen years old, and he is a high school student who is still in his first year of high school.

He is the eldest son in the family, with a younger brother and a younger sister.

After Xia Qiu's mother died of illness, her father abandoned the child and ran away with a young widow, never to come back. A Qiu had to take on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family and raising herself and her younger siblings early on.

In order to maintain his family's livelihood, he worked part-time while going to school.

He was still in school and could not go to a regular factory, so he repaired and shined people's shoes on the roadside, supporting himself and his younger siblings with his craftsmanship.

But he doesn't want to spend his life repairing shoes. His dream is to become a shoemaker.

Because the income of a shoemaker is much higher than that of a shoe repairman.

The time is soon coming to the rainy season. Usually at this time, Aqiu will take a break and not go out to the stall. Instead, he will read books, draw pictures, and think about how to make shoes.

One day, Ah Qiu skipped class and came to the park, hoping to paint shoes quietly. However, it rained heavily and he had to go to a nearby pavilion to take shelter.

As a result, he met a beautiful woman older than him there.

At that time, the woman sat quietly watching the rain, eating amber peanuts, and drinking old wine from a water bottle without saying a word.

As for why he knew the kettle was filled with old wine, it was of course because Aqiu could smell the old wine.

When they met in the pavilion for the first time, neither of them spoke. They just did their own things. Then after the rain subsided a little, the woman got up, picked up her umbrella and left.

The second time they met, Aqiu went to the pavilion because he skipped class midway or because it was raining, and met the woman there.

This time, the woman who was drinking and eating peanuts seemed to be in a good mood and took the initiative to talk to the boy.

After talking to each other, we started to get to know each other.

After that, the two became more and more familiar with each other, but there was still a gap between them.

Because that woman never said anything about herself, not even her name, but kept asking about Aqiu's affairs.

Ah Qiu told all his stories, even his dream of becoming a shoemaker.

Although Aqiu didn't know the other person's name or situation, the other person was very gentle and kept encouraging Aqiu and gave him a lot of advice and help.

For example, the other party gave him a picture album, which contained photos of famous shoes that are popular in Europe, America and Japan, which made Aqiu very happy.

The other party is also very literary, likes to recite poetry, and understands Japanese.

Ah Qiu always thought that she was an employee of a certain company who skipped work midway, and wanted her to make a foot mold for him and make a pair of leather shoes for her.

Ah Xue agreed generously, took off her shoes decisively, and asked Ah Qiu to measure the size of her feet.

Ah Xue loves to cook and often brings lunch boxes to Ah Qiu to let him try her cooking skills. Unfortunately, she loves to cook but is not good at cooking, which always makes Ah Qiu miserable.

There were more and more exchanges between the two, and Ah Qiu found that she had gradually fallen in love with Ah Xue, who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Ah Qiu looks forward to rain every day, because when it rains, he will see Ah Xue there.

Later, the rainy season passed.

When it doesn't rain, Ah Qiu goes to the pavilion again, but she can no longer see Ah Xue.

Later, when Ah Qiu was going to school, he accidentally saw Ah Xue from the window.

He asked his classmates who that was, and they told him that it was Teacher Wen Xue, who used to be a Chinese teacher in the third grade of high school, but was now transferred to the logistics department.

Only then did Xia Qiu realize that it was precisely because she was a logistics teacher that she had time to drink and eat peanuts during class.

As a result, that time, she met Aqiu, who also skipped class.

Both Xia Qiu and Xia Qiu are classmates in the first grade of high school. The reason why they met Teacher Wen Xue, who is in the third grade of high school, is because this teacher Wen Xue is very famous now. It can be said that he is famous in the whole school. It is strange that Xia Qiu doesn't know about it.

Of course Xia Qiu didn't know, because he had never paid attention to school before. After class, he would go outside to draw shoes quietly and never inquire about school gossip.

So, Xia Qiu began to ask her classmates about Ashue.

Only then did I know that it turned out that Teacher Wenxue was seducing a male student in her class and was discovered by the male student's mother, who made a big fuss. As a result, Teacher Wenxue was transferred from her front-line position to the logistics warehouse.

It's just that this incident of a female teacher seducing a male student was very explosive and made a big fuss, so everyone knew about it.

Moreover, the classmate also said that he heard that the school has made a decision to fire Teacher Wen Xue. She will not be here for a long time and will leave the school soon.

Of course Xia Qiu didn't believe it, because he had been with A Xue for a while, and he definitely didn't believe that such a gentle and kind woman would do such a thing.

Xia Qiu's classmate also said that he didn't quite believe it, so it was said that there was another version of the matter.

It is said that the classmate named He Damao had a crush on Teacher Wenxue for a long time, so one day after school at noon, he sneaked to Teacher Wenxue's dormitory and stole her pantyhose.

After returning home, classmate He Damao's mother discovered the pantyhose he had hidden and asked who they were.

He Damao lied, saying that Teacher Wen Xue seduced him and gave him the socks personally.

When He Damao's mother heard this, she immediately became furious. Early the next morning, she came to the school with her socks and made a fuss to the school to demand an explanation.

The school leader called Teacher Wenxue, but Teacher Wenxue did not argue or argue, she just stood there silently.

In the end, in order to calm down the incident, the school leaders temporarily transferred Teacher Wen Xue from the front-line position to the logistics department.

As for the specific disposal, we need to discuss it before deciding.

In fact, a young teacher saw He Damao stealing socks and once stood up to complain to Teacher Wen Xue.

However, He Damao's mother had the physical evidence of pantyhose and was involved in a teacher-student relationship. It would be difficult to convince the public with just one witness.

The school leaders originally wanted to suppress it, but who knew that the incident would spread more and more widely.

After hearing this, Xia Qiu remained absent-minded. As a result, during class, the teacher called her up and forced her to stand.

Suddenly, it started to rain. Xia Qiu hurriedly ran to the pavilion regardless of the penalty.

Sure enough, Ashue is still there.

At this time, Xia Qiu already knew A Xue's true identity and revealed Wen Xue's name and identity.

After being stunned for a moment, Ashue just smiled lightly and didn't say much.

Aqiu began to question her about the incident of seducing the male student, hoping to learn the truth from her mouth.

Ashue asked, do you believe me?

Ah Qiu said, as long as you say it yourself, I will believe it!

Then, Ashue told another story.

Ashue said that that day, the weather was a bit sultry. She went back to the dormitory at noon, took off her stockings, and went to the bathhouse to take a bath. When she returned to the dormitory, she found that her pantyhose were missing.

She didn't say anything, thinking that her colleague had taken it.

After all, pantyhose during this period were very expensive. They were all imported or came from the south. They usually cost more than ten yuan a piece, which was far from the ordinary socks that cost one yuan a piece. It was normal for people to miss them.

As a result, the next day, the parent of a male student came to the door with her pantyhose and asked for an explanation, saying that she had seduced her son and was shameless and obscene.

It was then that she realized that her stockings had been stolen by the male classmate.

After the male classmate stole her stockings, his mother probably discovered it when he returned home and asked where they came from, so she lied and said that the teacher seduced him and gave him the stockings.

It was precisely because of this that the mother of that classmate became so angry that she went to school with pantyhose to ask for an explanation.

In this way, her reputation was ruined. Everyone was talking about her seducing students in her class, giving students pantyhose, and saying she was shameless.

Ah Qiu asked Ah Xue why she didn't refute or argue, and why she was willing to be transferred to the logistics department. Isn't this acquiescence?

Ashue said, is it useful to distinguish?

There is no evidence for this kind of rumor. Both sides insist on different opinions. It is extremely difficult to distinguish right from wrong.

The school doesn't care about the truth, they just want to make it a big deal out of a trivial matter.

Everyone just listens to what they want to hear and spreads rumors for fun. The truth is not important.

No matter how she explains or defends, it will only get worse. Those who believe in her will still believe her, and those who don't believe her will still disbelieve her.

Moreover, she didn't want to ruin the male student's future because of this incident. After all, he was just impulsive.

So, let time solve everything.

Rumors will die out automatically after a while.

Although Ah Xue doesn't care, Ah Qiu is not willing to let Ah Xue continue to suffer unjust injustice.

So the next day, he went to the class of the male classmate who stole the stockings, asked him to come out, and asked him to tell the truth.

As a result, of course the classmate was not happy, and together with his classmates, he beat up Aqiu.

Ah Qiu is just a freshman in high school, so of course he can't beat a group of seniors in high school.

Shortly after being beaten, it started to rain again.

Ah Qiu hurriedly ran to the park pavilion and met Ah Xue again.

This time, Axue saw that Aqiu was injured, so she took the initiative to take him to her home and bandage his wound.

At Ah Xue's home, Ah Qiu confessed to Ah Xue, but Ah Xue remained silent.

Then Ah Qiu ran away angrily. After staying for a while, Ah Xue also ran out.

The two sides were facing each other in the corridor, and began the climax of the exchange of heart-to-hearts.

At first, Ah Qiu exploded, angrily accusing Ah Xue of being a liar and always deceiving him. He didn't like Ah Xue at all.

Ah Xue suddenly collapsed and ran over to hug Ah Qiu, hugging Ah Qiu and crying loudly.

During the hug, Axue told Aqiu that she was not as free and easy as others said, nor was she as strong.

She was also very broken at the time, and she also fought, but the school leaders kept telling her to keep a low profile and not to continue fighting or making trouble, otherwise it would be bad for everyone.

She has been tortured by rumors and can hardly stand it any longer.

During these days, thanks to the appearance of Aqiu, it gave her the courage to continue.

Also, she also likes him, but she just doesn't dare to say it, she can't say it.

Then, they hugged each other tightly in the heavy rain.

The rain stopped and a rainbow appeared. Both parties smiled and looked at the rainbow.

Finally, Ashue left and went to another city.

Aqiu didn't follow him. He stayed, but he still often skipped classes, still failed in exams, and still often mingled with his younger brothers and sisters.

The two parties did not cross the line and did not elope.

They all have their own problems.

Forcibly staying together will only create bigger problems that neither of them can solve or bear.

However, Aqiu received a letter from Axue and learned about Axue's new job and new address.

The film ends here, showing the lives of the two of them, leaving the rest blank.

Perhaps, when Aqiu really grows up and takes good care of his younger siblings, he can go find Axue.

Or, this is just a short memory after all, and the two parties will never meet again or renew their relationship.

In short, this version is the second version created by the collaboration between Cao Zhiqiang and Xu Qingdong.

"It's so touching! It's so touching!"

After reading this script, Hao Shuwen's eyes were red and her face was filled with tears.

"Zhiqiang, you are indeed a great talent. You can actually write such a good script. This, this story is so good."

Immediately afterwards, Hao Shuwen wiped her tears and raised her head to look at Cao Zhiqiang, who was munching on watermelon: "Zhiqiang, this movie must be made. It must be made. It would be a pity not to make it!"
