This is a arduous and bumpy creative road. Unlike others, Ajun has an older brother standing in the way. Rahul is a well-known writer. His success is a pressure to Ajun. , since childhood.
This Rahul is talented and personable, and he is the legendary "other's child" that is highly regarded by parents.
It is estimated that relatives and friends educate their children in this way, such as "study hard and become a writer like your brother Rahul in the future", or "if you don't study hard, you will be like your brother Ajun in the future. Nothing has been accomplished, not even a serious job..."
Without comparison, there is no harm. In this context, it is understandable that Ajun has been ignored by his parents. Grandpa was critically ill, and the two brothers rushed back to their hometown one after another. Although they were mentally prepared, Ajun felt very sad because of the differential treatment of the family:
Rahul's room was clean and spotless, and everything was left intact. Bit, as if he never left, had cigarettes (his favorite brand, of course) ready for him. As for Ajun, his room was full of debris and dust, and even sleeping became a problem.
Not enough rooms at home? certainly not! A few days later, my uncle's whole family came to visit, and it was not crowded for five more people. This situation can only mean one thing - A Jun has no status at home. Even the grandfather's critical illness, the family did not notify him (the mother notified Rahul, and then Rahul told his brother), Ajun didn't understand, what? One more phone call won't die.
The next episode is about the sad life of Diaosi Ajun at home, "Ajun, settle the bill!" "Ajun, go take out the trash!" "But, I'm going to walk the dog." "Let you Brother walk the dog, you go take out the trash..."
There were also constant contradictions at the dinner table. My father kept chatting with Rahul about work. He had to look at his mobile phone, but he was accused of "playing with his mobile phone since he entered the house." He also talked about his resignation to write a book, and was immediately questioned why he didn't discuss with his family first, saying that he "changes jobs every month" in a tone of reproach and dissatisfaction. The food didn't like it either: "I don't like okra!" "A-Jun, your brother is never picky about food." - Of course not, my mother just bought vegetables according to his taste, so it's strange that she can pick.
Or else: "The car was crashed again? Ajun, why don't you take a hammer and smash the TV and refrigerator together?" "It's not me, it's my brother!" "Oh" - and then, no And then there. The same thing, done by Rahul, seems justifiable. In the past, A-Jun always felt that his parents were partial, but they still knew how to cover it up. With Rahul becoming famous, now, everyone seems to be disdainful to cover up.
On the surface it was fun, but in the dark, the waves were turbulent, and the family gathering gradually turned into a farce: grandpa likes to pretend to be dead to scare everyone, and the trouble is uneasy; father has a concubine outside, but unfortunately it happens to the public; mother always has a long face, it seems that everyone They both owed her five hundred dollars; the two were arguing, and the birthday party broke up unhappily, and even taking a family photo became an extravagant hope.
In Ah Jun's gloomy life, there is only one thing that can comfort him. After five years of writing, his first novel has finally been completed, and the road to literature seems to have seen the light again. Rahul enthusiastically offered to help, but Ajun politely declined. Because he has long been wary of his brother:
Rahul's famous work is based on Ajun's conception, from the characters to the key plots are the same. Everyone knows the importance of a famous novel to a writer. If "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was published in advance by Liang Yusheng, would Jin Yong still be in his current status? No one can guarantee it.
Ah Jun is so bitter that he can't tell, who will believe him? It is estimated that even the family will not know, everyone will only think that he is still jealous of his brother as always, and it will only destroy the good situation of stability and unity. (Back to the pot man, back to the pot man, your name is Ajun)
However, the tragedy repeated itself many years later. Ajun found out that his brother had turned over his manuscript again, plagiarized it again and again, and did he leave a way out for others? Ah Jun finally collapsed, he rushed over and grabbed Rahul's neck, he was going to tear off the painting skin of this hypocrite, and let the whole world see his ugly and real side.
The film's biggest villain, Rahul, has finally been revealed? wrong! Rahul refused to plead guilty, but exploded the real behind-the-scenes mastermind - the brothers' mother, this is not a stepmother, this is a real mother! At this moment, A-Jun was really despairing, and he almost even wanted to die.
At that time, Rahul's debut film was defeated in Maicheng, and it was hit hard. The mother felt sorry for the eldest son, so she told the younger son's hard work and everything (in order to take care of Rahul's emotions, she also pretended to be her own idea). Everyone has seen the effect. Rahul has grown steadily since then, and he has achieved great success, but Ajun has never recovered and has become a loser in everyone's eyes.
He lived a very difficult life, and when he went home to see his grandfather, he couldn't even afford a plane ticket (this part is sad to watch). Does the mother feel guilty about this? No! The real bad people have super good psychological qualities, and the bad ones are at ease, and they never feel that what they have done is wrong.
She explained it this way: "Your brother has achieved good grades since he was a child and likes literary creation, unlike you, who is passionate about everything for three minutes, wants to write for a while, and learns photography for a while, but there is no characterization. Facts have proved that your novel I couldn't finish writing..." It really makes people spit out a mouthful of old blood, don't you need a face? Is it possible to be so ignorant? The characters and plots were all used by my brother, what did Ajun write about? Write it out, and then be wrongly accused of plagiarizing your brother?
She has a strong desire to control her family and kills her youngest son's dream with her own hands. She is not ashamed. She has always regarded herself as a white lotus, always stood on the commanding heights of morality, and used Marxism-Leninism to demand others. Her husband should not lie to her. Her son shouldn't lie to her, everyone is wrong, but her old man is always right.
"I don't want to be a part of this fake family portrait!" Look how beautifully said this, but didn't it say one thing and do another? This kind of double standard practice is disgusting-it has to be said that it is a wonderful work to be shameless to this extent.
Ah Jun burst into tears, and rushed out of the house without looking back. The rainstorm was like a note, which symbolized his inner turmoil... After holding back for a long time, the director finally released a big move, and the film reached its climax at this moment. It is a pity that the plot has been leaked since then, and it has become a bowl of chicken soup for the soul of the healing system.
In order to cater to the mainstream aesthetic of good people and good rewards, the director was busy compensating poor Jun: First of all, he met Bai Fumei Tina and gained sweet love. Then, the career also got better, and the elder brother made a connection, and finally a publishing house took a fancy to Ah Jun's new work. (It wasn't the mother who stabbed the knife from the back, maybe Ajun was helping his brother together)
Many mistakes were irreversible, and the mother regretted it and hid in the room and cried every night (after crying, let someone tell Ajun about it, otherwise, otherwise but cry in vain). When he returned home again, A-Jun finally got the same treatment as his brother, so he was moved, softened, and finally forgave his mother-no forgiveness would not work, the mother made such a gesture, no matter how intolerant, someone would To say that Ajun is not filial (this shows the difficulty of being a man).
"Everyone makes mistakes, but we can never give up our family." "Don't let death remind you of the value of family love." They all say that family love is priceless. I'm quite dissatisfied with this happy ending that doesn't hurt. In fact, the director is not necessarily satisfied, so he gave an explanation through the words of the people in the play.
At that time, Ajun and his brother were discussing the novel, and Rahul suggested to revise the ending. Ajun said: "I am writing a realistic theme. How can there be so many happy endings in reality?" Rahul: "Because there is no such thing in reality, That's why I went to the book to find it!" After hesitating again and again, Ajun still followed his brother's advice, and the attitude of the publishing house later proved Rahul's correctness from the side. This ending should be a compromise made by the director for the box office?
Life is a process of constant compromise. Let's imagine, if you don't consider the box office, audience and investors, what kind of ending should the film be? If Xiao Pan was a screenwriter, he would probably write like this:
Ajun killed Rahul in excitement, only to find out that his brother was actually innocent. He regretted it too much, and what awaited him would be a long life behind bars. The eldest son died, the younger son went to jail, the vicious old woman was cast aside by everyone, and she spent her whole life in remorse, and the whole play ended. (Ajun: "I'm already miserable enough, Xiao Pan, how can you bear to write like this?" "Well, when I didn't say it.")
