After the buzz ended, his father Xu Jingyou returned to China to look for him, hoping to take him back to the United States to inherit the family business. After some ideological struggle, Xu Lingjun finally rejected his father and decided to give up going to the United States and return to his wife and children.

The story of the novel and the script of "The Wrangler" are highly consistent, with almost no major changes. The film gradually presents Xu Lingjun's life experience of more than thirty years on the screen through constant flashbacks and interludes.

The identities of Xu Lingjun and his son, the father of a wealthy businessman and the son of a shepherd, bring about a strong dramatic conflict. The conversations between the two after they meet also reflect this class gap and the cruelty of time at all times.

For Xu Lingjun, who had not seen his father for more than 30 years, the title "father" was too unfamiliar. He was born in a family of Zhongmingdingshi, but he encountered a big change when he was young.

His father went abroad and his mother died of illness. He lived in silence for thirty years, bearing the stigma of being a descendant of capitalists.

His past experiences made him look sad on the outside and gloomy on the inside. No one listened to what he said, and no one cared about him. Fortunately, he was exiled to the foot of the bitter and cold Qilian Mountains.

The weather there is cold, but the people's hearts are warm.

He met Uncle Dong and Guo Qianzi. The herdsmen's warmth, friendliness and caring helped him regain his confidence in life.

As he said, "I died once, but I came back to life. Not only did I find the value of people, I also found the warmth of people. I found my father and my mother. For what they gave me

, I will never forget it in my life.”

Compared with my father's empty teachings, no words can compare to Aunt Dong's words: "People should look far away."

The clear sky, the vast wild Chile River, and the simple folk customs made him re-understand life during the days spent with horses.

Even in the craziest and darkest time, the walls were covered with big-character posters of PD Xu Lingjun, and the herdsmen were trying their best to help him escape.

The scene where Lin Chaoyang and Xie Jin discussed Guo Qianzi peeing on a big-character poster during the filming was completely preserved. There are no lines in the scene, only the sound of peeing, but it is full of disdain for power, portraying the herdsmen.

Simple values ​​and view of right and wrong.

If the simplicity of the herdsmen warmed Xu Lingjun's cold heart and allowed him to regain his confidence in life, then the appearance of Li Xiuzhi made him realize what happiness and the true meaning of life are.

This "hairy girl" in his mouth appeared so unexpectedly, as if it was destined to be a gift arranged by God for him.

During the famine years, she took a train carrying bricks to the Qilian Mountains to visit relatives. When she was desperate, she was "given" to Xu Lingjun by the enthusiastic Lao Guo.

"Lao Xu, do you want a wife or not? As long as you open Jinkou, I will bring it to you later!"

This dialogue from Lao Guo is destined to become a classic in the history of Chinese films, because it represents the simplicity and honesty of people in the past, and represents the perseverance in hardships.

"We have made mistakes, we just won't make them again."

"What's wrong with this life? I'll work here with you."

She washed and cooked for him, sewed and mended for him, and gave birth to children for him. She did not complain or quarrel with each other despite the beatings of life.

This daughter-in-law who was "sent" was worth more than a thousand pieces of gold in his heart. With her holding his hand, he was like a kite in the sky. No matter how he flew, he would never lose his way.

They fell in love in silence, their love was like a gentle river, endless, flowing into eternity.

The night before he left, she asked what kind of cadre your father was in the United States?

He said: A capitalist is a billionaire.

Maybe she was worried at that moment, worried that the kite in the sky would be blown to the other side of the ocean by the Pacific wind.

But in the end, he did not let her down. In the vast twilight, in the stretching green grassland, her husband came back.

Amidst the exciting and joyful sound of the violin, the love story of Xu Lingjun and Li Xiuzhi was frozen on the twilight grassland.

In the thousand-square-meter screening room, only the light of the screen flickered.

The ending subtitles of the movie slowly rose, and the brightness of the screen gradually faded out, but the theater remained silent.

The lights slowly turned on, reflecting the emotional faces.

The ending of "Wrangler" is not sensational, but many people still had red eyes and were unwilling to completely withdraw from the story for a long time.

It's easy to make a movie sensational. The actors say a few disgusting, heart-wrenching dialogues, shed a few tears, and match it with sad music, and the audience will shed as many tears as they want.

The touching thing about "The Wrangler" is that it gives the audience the happy ending they want, but it tells an unforgettable story full of warmth in ninety minutes.

"This movie is so well shot!"

"After all, it is Xie Jin's movie. The two male and female protagonists played well and their love is sincere. I feel like a real couple."

"Alas! If our family could have met as many good people as Xu Lingjun, we wouldn't be like this now."

Watching a movie in a cinema is not like a film festival, where there is always a few minutes of applause. The audience is deeply moved after watching the movie, and most of them express their inner feelings in the form of conversations.

The light beam on the screen dimmed, the lights in the cinema were completely turned on, and the audience's communication about the movie had just begun.

Although everyone's voices were not loud, a huge sound field quickly formed in the screening room, and from time to time there were people shouting and laughing excitedly.

The exciting exchange diluted the original sad and deep atmosphere. The short journey of light and shadow was over, and the audience became happy again. It was a kind of release after being baptized by deep emotions.

Lin Chaoyang held Tao Yushu's hand and slowly stood up with the crowd and walked towards the exit of the screening room. Halfway there, there were still people looking back at the huge screen, recalling the spiritual baptism and emotional resonance just now.

"The film has been successfully revised, congratulations!" Tao Yushu said softly the moment he walked out of the screening room.

Lin Chaoyang turned around and saw her calm and gentle face, and smiled unconsciously.

"Brother-in-law! Your script is so well written, Zhu Shimao is so handsome!" Tao Yumo came to Lin Chaoyang and said with a flattering look on his face.

Lin Chaoyang felt that his sister-in-law's last sentence was sincere.

Tao Yucheng sighed, "Chaoyang's script basically restores the plot of the novel. This aspect has been tested by millions of readers, and it must be unmistakable. What's rare is that Director Xie respects the script and can be said to have perfectly restored the novel.

.I really didn’t expect that little girl Cong Shan could act so well in a film, and we are going to have a big star in our drama!"

He shook his head as he spoke, with a proud look on his face.

Cong Shan is his student, and she starred in "The Wrangler" on his recommendation. Now that the movie is released, the quality is so high, how can he not be proud of it?

"Look how proud you are, don't say that when you're out and about." Zhao Li said to him with a smile.

"Don't worry. Besides, do you still need me to promote this matter? Who doesn't know about Yan Ying in the Chinese drama?"

The couple were joking, and Tao Yucheng asked his father: "Dad, would you rate the movie Chaoyang?"

Lin Chaoyang corrected him: "Brother, I'm just a screenwriter."

"It's all the same. You are the original author and the screenwriter, so your weight is no less than that of the director." Tao Yucheng said with a smile.

Tao's father looked happy as he recalled the plot of the movie.

"The film adaptation is very successful, and it expresses the pure emotions in the novel. The kind of love based on understanding and common struggle is particularly precious.

And the values ​​​​of dignity of labor and spiritual wealth it conveys are exactly what this society is increasingly lacking.

What's even more difficult is that the movie vividly expresses Xu Lingjun's deep feelings for the land and his feelings for his family and country, making it so relatable.

Ginger is still spicy!

Xie Jin's film is no worse than "Legend of Tianyun Mountain", or even better, and the artistic style is admirable."

When Tao's father spoke, Lin Erchun looked at him with admiration.

My in-laws are really worthy of being a great professor. He always talks in one way or another. He just thinks it’s good when he watches a movie, but he can’t say a single word. Listening to what his in-laws say, this is really the case.

Zhang Guiqin looked at Tao's father with the same admiration, "My in-laws said it was really good, and the movie was also good."

She looked at Lin Chaoyang again, her eyes full of smiles, "Chaoyang is really promising!"

The family members couldn't stop boasting, so Lin Chaoyang changed the topic and said, "Let me get out of the way first. Don't block everyone from entering the screening room."

One movie had just ended, and tickets for another movie were already being checked in. The door of the screening room was crowded with people.

Looking around, it was crowded. There were more spectators waiting in the lounge than when they entered. So many people gathered together, making the air in the lounge turbid and the smell mixed.

Tao Yushu said: "Let's go out first."

As the family came out of the Capital Cinema, Tao Yumo looked back at the dim lights and surging crowds, "There were so many people. There were never so many people when "Romance in Lushan Mountain" was shown."

"'Herdsman' is no worse than 'Romance on Lushan Mountain'. Chaoyang's original work and script, directed by Xie Jin, have unparalleled appeal."

Tao Yucheng sighed and said: "But I haven't seen such a popular movie for a long time. It has only been released for three days and has such momentum. I think "Wrangler" will not be able to win the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards next year."

The two brothers and sisters sang and praised each other endlessly. The happiest thing was Lin Erchun and his wife, who never closed their mouths all the way.

"Chaoyang, can you show your movie at home?" Zhang Guiqin asked.

Lin Chaoyang glanced at his mother speechlessly, "I should be able to."

Zhang Guiqin asked again: "When can it be put away?"

Lin Chaoyang knew that she couldn't wait to return to her hometown to show off her pride in front of her father and fellow villagers, so he said patiently: "It can last for several months. I'll definitely still have it when you go back."

Nowadays, there is no schedule for movies, and the box office has nothing to do with the studio. As long as the distribution company and movie theaters have copies, they can show them however they want, even if they are released for a year and a half, no one will care.

The movie started at four o'clock and ended at five-thirty. Lin Erchun rushed back to Mianmian Hutong for dinner.

While the women were preparing dinner, Lin Erchun called Lin Chaoyang into the main room. He and Tao's father were sitting at attention, giving Lin Chaoyang the illusion of being interrogated by the three halls.

"Dad, what's going on? It's so grand?"

Lin Erchun glared at him, "Don't be so playful!"

Lin Erchun and Tao's father looked at each other, and Tao's father said, "Chaoyang, speaking of which, you and Yushu have been married for almost four years..."

Lin Chaoyang and Tao Yushu received their certificates in February 1978, and it is now January 1982, so it is almost four years ago.

"The time is not short. In the past, Yushu was studying and you were living at home, so you didn't have the conditions.

Things are different now, Yushu is working, you have your own house, and you have been married for several years, so it’s time to consider entering the next stage."

Literary people always speak euphemistically. Lin Erchun on the side took a long time to understand what his in-laws meant.

"That's right. After the Chinese New Year, you are already twenty-four and Yushu is twenty-seven, so it's time to have a child!" Lin Erchun agreed.

Listening to the words of the two fathers, Lin Chaoyang recalled what Tao Yushu said about the four old men who always stared at her while eating hotpot mutton during the day. At that time, he thought that Tao Yushu was overthinking.

Now it seems that women's sixth sense is indeed very accurate.
