Chapter 127 Extra: There is nothing new under the sun...
The alias of Mai Sui was exposed a long time ago, when he was filming "Love in the Forest".
"Love in the Snow" began filming in 1997 and was officially broadcast in 1998. Its various bloody twists and turns made the audience, who had not seen too many similar plots, unable to stop watching.
There are not many readers of "Love in the Snow Forest". Most of them are female college students, which is also related to the literacy rate at that time.
The threshold for watching TV series is not too high. You just need to be able to understand Mandarin. Even if you don’t understand, you can still guess the general idea by watching the pictures.
When "Love in the Snow" was broadcast, most families already had a television and would stay at home to watch TV on time every day.
During the filming, the director also invited Li Daohua to select the actors. They had to choose the right roles as much as possible and shoot them to perfection.
During this period, a large number of romantic TV dramas have flooded into Taiwan, which has put a lot of pressure on them.
At this time, the film and television industry was not so doomed. Directors would choose handsome men and beautiful women when making movies. Even the coal boss, who was the investor, knew that professionals should be allowed to do professional things.
Li Daohua also had disagreements with the director during the casting process, but in the end the director chose to respect Li Daohua's choice because Li Daohua successfully convinced her.
The second female lead is prettier than the first female lead and is better at dressing herself up than the first female lead. Plus, she studied abroad and is more fashionable.
Big bouclé earrings, bold and edgy outfits, and comfy and low-key home clothes when working from home...
Every time the second female lead appears, she wears different styles of clothes. These clothes alone can support many clothing factories, and some are even specially designed.
The heroine is made to look like an ugly duckling.
When little girls watch the show, they cry and wail for the love between the male and female protagonists. Girls with a little experience and wisdom just think that the second female lead is beautiful and cool. Such a second female lead is simply their life goal!
Who said Daohua teacher's reputation was ruined? Daohua teacher wrote it so well! And who said Lin Luming was the second female lead? She is obviously the female lead!
They unilaterally announced that this is a drama with a strong female lead.
Looking through every romance novel written by Mai Sui, there is always a character who is sober, has no feelings or love, and is only focused on his own goals, and this person usually has a good ending.
Unlike some novels, the final arrangements for these people who have given up love and affection are all miserable, as if to tell people that if you don't love someone to death, and are not the male and female protagonists, life is meaningless.
When the Mai Sui vest was first removed, many people felt that their childhood filter was shattered.
Although Mai Sui is also a very famous romance writer, her status is different from that of literary writers like Daohua.
When someone asked Li Daohua why she wrote romance novels, Li Daohua's answer was: "Why do you ask? Can't a romance writer devote himself to literary creation?"
Although the results of romance writers writing literary works and literary writers writing romance works are the same, the feelings given by the expressions are completely different.
It’s like the feeling of fighting and failing over and over again, and fighting again and again. This is the charm of language.
Reporter: I just want to ask you, people who are engaged in literature are used to writing, how did she know that? Because she is also like that.
However, after the wheat ear vest was exposed, the person most affected was Ouyang Yuan.
As everyone knows, Ouyang Yuan is Teacher Daohua's husband, and they are both successful in both literature and business.
It is said that the initial funding of Yuanfang Logistics came from Teacher Daohua’s royalties, which can be said to be a typical example of a virtuous wife helping me to achieve my ambitions.
Of course, what they don’t know is that the current largest shareholder of Yuanfang Logistics is Li Daohua, and the second largest shareholder is Ouyang Yuan.
"In her romance novels, Teacher Daohua always advises us to pursue careers, but it turns out that she herself is a love-brained person."
"Where is the love brain? Getting married means love brain? Who said that you can't get married if you're not love brain? Can't people have a normal view of love and marriage?"
"She spent money on Ouyang Yuan. Ouyang Yuan was a poor educated youth who went to the countryside. If it weren't for Teacher Daohua, would he have the wealth he has now?"
"Teacher Daohua did help Ouyang Yuan, but this was not love-brained. This was the couple supporting each other. The classic love-brained should be that Ouyang Yuan ignored Teacher Daohua, but Teacher Daohua still gave gifts and money, and in the end, both Ouyang Yuan and Teacher Daohua lost money."
In fact, if it weren’t for Ouyang Yuan, Li Daohua would not have come to Peiping. It can even be said that she might not have traveled through time, and Ouyang Yuan’s life would have been very different.
If he had followed the original path, Ouyang Yuan might have worked as a library administrator until retirement. Although he would have had no worries about food and clothing, he would not have achieved what he has today.
The two really complement each other.
After this vest was exposed, readers immediately called on Li Daohua to write a few more romance novels. They were tired of those novels full of love stories and liked her kind of novels with some personal messages.
Sometimes we even have to dig deeper into the hidden personal information, for example, in "Love in the Snow", the heroine's major is computer science.
It was already a very advanced profession in that era. The female protagonists at that time were generally literary youths or teachers.
When I saw it before, I just thought she wanted to find an unpopular career to highlight the eccentricity of the second female lead. But now it seems, great prophet, that computer science is really a popular career now. I studied it before, and now I just catch up with the trend.
I just regret that I was born at the wrong time. I only read some useless things at the beginning and I regret it so much.
Li Daohua was writing "Blood Dissolves in Water" at the time, and after it was published, it received a great response.
"Blood Dissolves in Water" tells the story of a girl from a disaster area who went through untold hardships and finally achieved a well-off life.
In July, a severe flood occurred in Sichuan Province, and the entire province was covered with an ocean. The heroine Huang Lianqiao was the only one who survived in her family of five.
In the ruins of the flood, the home was no longer visible. Lian Qiao was covered in mud and looked around in confusion. There were many people like her.
At least she can still respond to her surroundings, while some people are so traumatized that they don't respond to what others say and don't know how to eat.
The whole country is paying close attention to this severe flood. In order to help the people in the disaster-stricken areas, people from all over the country are donating money and materials. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid.
"Grandma, where are we going?"
"My dear granddaughter, let's go donate money."
“What is a donation?”
"Some brothers and sisters have no home, some have no parents, let's give them money and help them."
"Are brothers and sisters also like Xiaoxiao? Then we should help them."
The little girl in tattered clothes had tears in her eyes. Her mother died in childbirth, and her father had been working away from home for many years and had not returned. Later, she heard that he had died outside.
At that time, many people died while working away from home and no one knew about it. Information was not well-informed, and people who went out to work could only rely on the goodwill of their coworkers.
If you are a person with good character, your coworkers will help you bring back the compensation when something happens. If you are a person with bad character, not only will they take the compensation money, they may even create the compensation money on their own initiative.
The family has lost its able-bodied laborer, and the old and the young can only make a living by picking up scraps. If they didn’t have a house to shelter them from the wind and rain, they probably wouldn’t survive long.
The money they donated was saved up penny by penny, bit by bit.
The middle-aged man behind the donation counter had a round belly. When he saw them coming to donate, he touched his round belly and smiled.
When a donation box is full, we replace it with another one. There is a special system in the background to calculate the money according to the size. If you are a little slow, someone will scold you: "The people in the disaster area are waiting for money to save their lives. Everyone is so enthusiastic about donating, you can't fall behind!"
The people who were busy counting the money were sweating profusely, and their hands were cramping from counting the money. At first they thought it was a good job as they had never seen so much money in their lives. But soon they found out that they were extremely wrong.
At night, piles of money were loaded into the car, the door was locked and the car was driven away.
After the flood receded, Lian Qiao wanted to go home and see if he could find something useful.
The rescue team had arrived at the scene a long time ago, but they were so busy that no one noticed her. Or perhaps it was because there were too many people like her, and the main rescue focus at the moment was on those who were still in danger.
She didn't know what donations were, nor did she have any channels to find out how many people were caring about them. She only knew that someone was rescuing them and that food was supplied every day. As for whether these things were given by the country or by those charitable organizations, she didn't know.
"Girl, don't run around. Where are your parents?" The person who spoke had an accent and was not from here. He must have come from another place to help.
Lian Qiao pursed her lips and her eyes were red. She didn't dare to speak, for fear that if she spoke, she would burst into tears.
The man who spoke cursed himself, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and urged Lian Qiao to return to the disaster relief tent.
After waiting for a long time for the dredging to begin, Lian Qiao finally found her home, but in the end all she found was her brother's schoolbag, and her home was completely gone.
Her home was actually not that good. Whenever it rained, it leaked in many places. She had to use pots and pans to collect the rainwater, and it would make clanging noises when she slept at night.
I often see various insects at home, and I have developed a character that is not afraid of insects early on.
Other people's homes are warm in winter and cool in summer, but hers is cold in winter and hot in summer.
Her parents liked her younger brother the most, not her, so she had to continue helping with housework after school every day.
Even so, that was her home. She was a person with a family, not an orphan or a wild child.
The villagers were rummaging through the mud, trying to find something usable; this was their only remaining possessions.
The village chief called a meeting to mobilize the young and middle-aged people in the village to go out to work so that they could earn money to rebuild their homes as soon as possible.
Lian Qiao has signed up, it will be safer for everyone to go out together.
It was while working outside that Lian Qiao learned from outsiders how much money they donated to help the people in the disaster area rebuild their homes, but... they had nothing...
Maybe...it's other places that were hit harder.
Later, through an introduction, Lian Qiao worked as a nanny in a villa, where she was mainly responsible for cleaning.
The family in the villa were all dressed brightly and beautifully, but they all had bad tempers. She had to be very careful here. On the first day, the eldest sister who was in charge of taking care of her told her a lot of things to pay attention to and asked her to write them down and memorize them.
"Remember, here, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't listen to what you shouldn't listen to." The eldest sister was very serious when she said this.
The villa is very big and luxurious. I heard that it would cost hundreds of millions to buy it.
How many hundreds of millions is that? Lian Qiao didn't know, she couldn't even calculate, based on her salary, how long would it take her to earn 100 million.
She has her own diary, in which she records how much money she earns and how long it will take to rebuild a house in her hometown, which doesn't have to be very big.
Because she was sensible, Lian Qiao worked in the villa for several years. Just when she was about to save enough money to buy a house, the owner and his family ran away.
At first, no one came back to the villa for a long time. This is actually very common. It is said that this family has many houses and theirs is just one of them.
Later, when it was time to pay their salaries, no one paid them. Later, she heard that the couple was arrested for corruption and had colluded with businessmen to embezzle hundreds of billions of disaster relief funds from Sichuan Province.
"Hey, Lian Qiao, I remember you are from Sichuan Province, right? Part of her house was donated to you by everyone."
"That's nothing. Her house and her money are all mine. If I had known, I should have spit a few times while cooking for them!" said the chef angrily.
There was no one in the villa and Lian Qiao had lost her job, so she wanted to go home. She... hadn't been home in the past few years.
The closer she got to home, the more timid she became. Lian Qiao felt very nervous all the way until she set foot on the country road.
Familiar villagers, unfamiliar houses. Many families have rebuilt their houses. When she passed by the old men and women at the entrance of the village, she also heard the news of embezzlement of donations.
Everybody was cursing, but... Lian Qiao heard that the children of that family had gone abroad with more than one billion dollars, and they were still living a life that the people in this small mountain village would never dare to imagine in their lifetime.
After a few days in the village, she heard a lot about how many people who went out to work worked hard to earn money, but many of them never came back. Lian Qiao was already very lucky.
She didn't think about the things she was powerless to change. After working outside for so many years, she had seen a lot of the world. She planned to start a small business. As long as she was diligent enough, she would be able to live a good life.
She thought that if she didn't listen or think about it, she had forgotten.
When she woke up in the middle of the night, she still remembered her dream clearly. Her whole family was struggling in the flood, looking at her with resentment, and blaming her for serving their enemy.
Everything is determined by fate and has no control over us.
After the release of "Blood Is Dissolved in Water", it received mixed reviews. This is normal. Many of her works are like this and they all need to go through the test of time.
Some people think that she is slandering and defaming others think that she is warning and sounding a wake-up call...
Some people also called for a thorough investigation into the disaster relief efforts in the 1991 flood.
"People cannot imagine things beyond their own cognition, and art comes from life." This is the reason why they demand a strict investigation.
If Teacher Daohua had never seen such a thing, how could she write such a story? If Teacher Daohua didn't know about such a thing, why didn't she donate money, but instead personally do disaster relief...
"Think about the turbulent past twenty years, comrades!"
