Although Li Yi didn't get the exact answer from his mother, it also gave him inspiration.
The so-called art comes from life.
Since there is a generational difference between the background in the original work and the current one, let’s find some similar real cases that have happened in the real world to learn from it.
In Li Yi's view, the biggest problem in the original movie is that the mother sends her child away without giving a psychological transformation process.
Maybe the original intention is good, but mother and son have been dependent on each other for many years, how could they be separated so easily?
But during this process, Li Yi could not understand a mother's thoughts, and Li Yi's mother, Yi Lingling, was obviously not a person at that level.
Therefore, although I can give some suggestions, it is obviously not enough to really modify the script.
Li Yi found Zhuo Yixiong and expressed his thoughts.
"You mean, find a mother, a mother who sends her child to his father who has already married another family, right?" Zhuo Yixiong asked.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I want to know what kind of reasons would make a mother would rather separate her flesh and blood than send her child away."
"When you said that, I really thought of someone!" Zhuo Yixiong suddenly said.
"Huh? Tell me." Li Yi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"How should I put it? Illegitimate children in the entertainment industry are actually not uncommon. The person I'm talking about used to be a little star. In fact, I don't know if she is the kind of mother you are looking for." Zhuo Yixiong He frowned slightly.
"Tell me carefully." Li Yi became interested.
"Her name is Liu Yuran. She was an artist on Hong Kong TV station earlier. Because of her good looks, she was spotted by an investor. As you know in the entertainment industry, investors are interested in actresses. Where is Liu Yuran? She wasn't interested at that time either. I don’t know if it’s because I’m young and ignorant, or because I have other ideas, but in short, after a casual marriage, I got pregnant with a child.” Zhuo Yixiong thought for a while and started to talk.
"I don't know what Liu Yuran was thinking. Instead of aborting the child, she chose to give birth to the child."
"As you know, the actress is pregnant, and she is not a particularly famous star. Naturally, her stardom is bleak!"
"Later, the investor found out about this matter, and what's interesting is that the investor's wife gave birth to three children, all of whom turned out to be daughters, and the children raised by the investor's aunt also turned out to be the same. Daughter." Zhuo Yixiong looked a little strange.
"In addition, as the investor was getting older, he naturally thought about continuing the family line. However, he sown a lot, but the result was that he could not give birth to a son, and there were several illegitimate daughters. So, that The investors thought of Liu Yuran and her son."
"At first, I heard that Liu Yuran was unwilling to give the child to the investor. Later, I heard that the investor gave Liu Yuran a sum of money and the child was taken away. So, I don't know if she counts. She is the kind of mother you are looking for..." Zhuo Yixiong looked at Li Yi and said.
"Do you know where Liu Yuran is? What is her condition now? And what is the condition of the child?" Li Yi asked.
"I do know this. Liu Yuran later married a stuntman and gave birth to a son and a daughter." Zhuo Yixiong said.
"If it's convenient, can you ask Liu Yuran to come out and have a chat? Or can we go visit her directly?" Li Yi thought for a while and said.
"What's the inconvenience? I know her husband, so it should be fine."
...
Hong Kong Island, Peninsula Hotel Café.
Li Yi met Liu Yuran.
"Hello, Ms. Liu, my name is Li Yi. I'm really sorry to invite you here." Li Yi greeted.
"Hey, it's rare that a great director like you can use me. It's my honor." Liu Yuran said calmly and generously.
After the three of them took their seats.
Instead, Liu Yuran spoke first: "I heard Director Zhuo say that Director Li came to me to ask about my eldest son and me?"
Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder if it would be convenient for us to have a chat?"
Liu Yuran smiled and said: "There is nothing inconvenient. If Director Li wants to ask anything, just ask."
"It's like this. We are going to make a movie now. We want to know why you were willing to give up your child to the child's father in the first place?" Li Yi asked.
Liu Yuran took a sip of coffee and said, "There are several aspects."
"On the one hand, at that time, I could only live by doing odd jobs, and my life was a bit tight. Moreover, raising children required money in all aspects. I had a falling out with my family because I gave birth to Xiao Min, so it was really quite difficult at the time. It’s bitter.” Liu Yuran said.
"However, Xiao Min is very sensible. It's okay for us two to live together."
"Actually, I wasn't afraid of your jokes at the beginning. I gave birth to Xiao Min for a purpose. I remember that after I gave birth to the child, I went to find him, but the result..." Liu Yuran shook her head, Didn't go on.
"Although I did have a purpose in the beginning, after becoming a mother, my mentality was completely different. After all, Xiao Min is my flesh and blood."
"Seeing the little guy grow up day by day, the original idea has long been extinguished."
"So, when he came here later and wanted a child, I caught him in the face for the first time. Haha, what were you doing earlier?" Liu Yuran seemed to be lost in memories.
"What happened next? What made you change your mind?" Li Yi asked curiously.
"Because it is so difficult to be a single mother. Sometimes I feel very inferior in front of others. Most people can't understand the pain in my heart. Sometimes when I am upset, I really feel that life is boring. , but when I think about having children and unfinished responsibilities, I have to live strong. I often wonder why there is so much helplessness in life?" Liu Yuran said with emotion, probably thinking of the past days.
"Actually, the child was fine before he went to school, but after he went to school..."
"Although Xiao Min is very sensible, he is still a child after all. I remember that once, he brought back a picture book from kindergarten. The name of the picture book was "My Dad"!"
"He asked me out of curiosity, why does everyone else have a father but he doesn't?"
"I didn't say anything, but he kept making trouble. That time was the first time I hit him!"
"Other children say at school that their parents take them to play wherever they go, and how awesome their father is, but my Xiao Min doesn't have a father!"
"Although he never asked me about my father again, I know that he has always longed to have a father like others!"
"I live frugally, but my financial conditions are still not good enough to give him the best..."
"Actually, I can tolerate all these, but the most difficult thing is when the child is sick. You don't know how helpless and desperate you feel when the child is sick and there is no man in the family."
"Every time that happens, I hate myself for not being able to give him a better life, and I also hate myself for not being able to give him a complete family..."
