"Sweetheart, it's me." Cheng Xu's "sweetheart" successfully stunned Jiujiu. She blinked and thought of Cheng Xu. She yawned lazily and said in a lazy tone, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just finished watching the movie. It was very good." Cheng Xu pursed his lips and said, "Um, do you have time tomorrow? I want to treat you to dinner. "
Jiujiu: "I have to attend the press conference tomorrow. I don't have time."
The premiere was during the Chinese New Year. Jiujiu went to her grandparents' house and was absent. Therefore, Director Han repeatedly emphasized that she had to attend the press conference tomorrow.
When he heard that Jiujiu was going to attend the press conference, Cheng Xu was a little disappointed and said, "Oh, then I'll leave you to it. Go back to sleep. I'm hanging up."
Cheng Xu hung up the phone. Jiujiu looked at the busy tone of the phone and blinked helplessly.
She was sleeping soundly, but after being disturbed by Cheng Xu, she couldn't fall asleep anymore.
Since she couldn't sleep, Jiujiu took out her phone and began to look at the movie's comments.
Today was the first time, but there were a lot of comments online, and most of them were positive.
Because it was Director Han's work, a lot of people were targeting Director Han. However, in the end, Jiujiu gained fans. There were thousands of comments about Jiujiu.
Most of them were affirmation of Jiujiu's acting skills, but most of them were opinions about the saying, "Gossip is a fearful thing."
Gossip is a fearful thing. They had seen it before, but after all, it didn't happen to them. Most people didn't feel anything. However, now that they saw a young girl being forced to death by gossip, they couldn't hold it in anymore and began to express their opinions.
The person who first molested Susu was hateful, but he was only a catalyst. In the end, the people who caused Susu's death were the ones who spread the rumors.
After Susu's parents buried Susu, Director Han gave a close-up of the people who had talked about Susu.
When they found out that Susu had jumped off the building and died, they started to say all kinds of words of pity. Some people even said that the little girl's tolerance was too weak. There were so many people in the world who had been wronged, so why did she choose to end her life in such a way that hurt her parents?
His words were filled with disapproval.
They were the ones who had used rumors to force Susu to her death, but at this moment, they were also the ones who were criticizing Susu. They stood on the moral high ground and spoke ill of Susu, but they did not expect that they were actually one of the people who had forced Susu to her death. They were not as innocent as they thought. They were all executioners with knives in their hands.
As for Susu's parents, no one could blame them too much. After all, they had put in a lot of effort to help Susu. However, in such an environment, they were surrounded by so many rumors and slanders. In the end, they couldn't help but go with the flow and vent their emotions on the innocent Susu.
The movie was over, but people's discussions were even more vigorous.
The midnight theater was full, and there were even more people who chose to watch the movie after seeing the good reviews. There were also many people who chose to watch it again and again after watching it.
Obviously, this movie did not have a poignant love story, nor did it have the heroic spirit of the Jianghu, but it was especially moving.
After the movie was released, it was praised all the way. The cinema kept adding more screenings and even extended the screening time.
Susu's story not only brought up the topic of teenage sexual assault, but also brought up the topic of gossip. Many people who had watched the movie couldn't help but reflect on themselves, wondering if they had unintentionally said those hurtful words in the past.
Because of Susu's success, Jiujiu's first press conference was especially eye-catching.
Jiujiu was only ten years old, but she had such good acting skills. Almost everyone knew that this little girl had a bright future.
On the day of the press conference, Jiujiu wore a pink dress with her hair tied in a ponytail. She even wore a pink hair band. She looked innocent and unaffected, like an innocent child. No one could associate this innocent and cute little girl with Susu in the movie.
It was unknown if it was because of Susu, but the reporter, who had always been sharp, was particularly gentle to Jiujiu. After asking a few rough questions, he passed the topic to Director Han.
"May I ask why you chose to film such a sensitive subject?"
Director Han said in a heavy tone, "According to statistics, there are as many as 100,000 children who are sexually assaulted in our country every year. However, only a few thousand people are truly saved. Most people live in the gossip of others. More people choose to drop out of school or run away from home. There are also many people who choose to end their lives by committing suicide."
Director Han's words were so heavy that the reporters who wanted to lead this question to the movie fell silent.
Director Han paused and continued, "It's not the children's fault that they were sexually assaulted. It's obvious that the person who sexually assaulted them was in the wrong. They were just victims, but in the end, they were the ones who were hurt. It's already painful enough for them to receive such inhumane treatment at their best age, but there are still people who look at them with twisted eyes and use the most vicious words to attack them, hurting them physically and mentally. Maybe some people will say that I'm just saying it casually, but do you know that your casual words will cause secondary harm to the children who have already been hurt? Your casual words may even cause the children to give up their lives because of your casual words. What I want to say is that the person who sexually assaulted the children is very abominable, but those who say that you're just saying it casually, you're not just saying it casually. You're just like that person. Even if the children don't lose their lives because of your actions, they will lose their future because of your actions."
Director Han's words were thought-provoking, and all the reporters fell silent.
After the press conference ended, Director Han's words were posted on the Internet. Director Han was regarded as the director with the highest moral values.
Moreover, because of Susu's movie, and also because of Director Han's words, the country changed the law on child sexual assault, making the originally somewhat weak provisions in this area more detailed.
The attention of the people on child sexual assault also increased. Those who originally liked to cover up their actions by saying that they were just saying it casually could no longer say it casually.
Those who had been sexually assaulted and lived in the shadows began to rebuild their self-confidence and began to live a new life.
Because Director Han said that they were not the ones in the wrong. They were the victims, and they should not punish themselves with other people's mistakes.
