Chapter 784: Shifting the Focus of Shooting

Luo Xiao sighed helplessly upon hearing this, turned his head to look at the camera in the distance, and found that the other party was filming the villagers moving supplies.

"I think the focus of the shooting needs to be shifted."

"How do I transfer?"

Wang Bin heard Luo Xiao's words and asked.

"Before we set out, we decided that the focus of our filming would be mainly the activities we sponsored, with the villagers in these poor mountainous areas as a supplement."

"When the time comes, once all the impoverished mountainous areas have been filmed and the documentary is edited and broadcast, it will also be a great publicity for our Tomorrow Group and earn us a good reputation."

"But now I have changed my mind. I want to focus on photographing these villagers, record their lives more, and negotiate with them and do some interviews."

"As for our support, we can put it at the end of each episode of the documentary, and play some clips of our support to these villagers, so that the audience can know that these villagers have received support."

Luo Xiao spoke slowly.

He suddenly understood why Mr. Chen did not promote charity when he saw the conditions of these villagers.

When he thought about the fact that the money he had donated to these villagers would eventually be used to promote his own company, he felt that this charity was not so pure.

Even though these villagers received some help, they were definitely taken advantage of by them.

He felt a little uncomfortable with this feeling.

"No problem, I agree!"

Wang Bin nodded.

"I also think this is better. Since it is a documentary, it is better to record more of these villagers."

Yang Xingguo nodded in agreement.

quickly,

All the villagers in the distance put the supplies on the wooden cart they brought over, but in the end they only loaded one third of the supplies.

Because the villagers loaded the cart with supplies too full, it was difficult for one donkey to pull the cart, so several villagers helped push it from behind.

"Let's go, let's go and help."

Yang Xingguo said this and walked over.

Luo Xiao and Wang Bin followed and came to the back of a car to help push it.

"My benefactors, this is unacceptable. How can we let you do this kind of work?"

Upon seeing this, Village Chief Li rushed over to stop them.

"Village Chief Li, it's okay. We are going to the village anyway, so it's just a matter of convenience."

Yang Xingguo spoke with a smile.

After some conversation, Village Chief Li saw that Yang Xingguo and others insisted on helping to push the cart, and he had no choice.

He just secretly sent a few more villagers to help.

Seeing this, Yang Xingguo didn't say much.

About 20 minutes later,

Everyone finally arrived at the village.

Luo Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to look at Yang Xingguo.

"Brother Yang, what should we do next?"

"Let's rest for a while. After the villagers have distributed the supplies, we will go find Village Chief Li and ask him to take us to each village's home to learn about their current situation."

"Depending on their situation, we respond accordingly."

Yang Xingguo found a stone and sat down.

"Shouldn't we just count the villagers in need and bring them to Jiangcheng?"

Luo Xiao spoke in confusion.

"It's different. Poverty is also divided into different categories. Some poor elderly people are supported by their children. We don't need to bring them to Jiangcheng."

"The people we took back to Jiangcheng were basically the elderly or children who had no ability to survive on their own."

"But there is also a difficulty. Some elderly people, even if they have no ability to survive, are unwilling to go there even though we describe Jiangcheng as a good place because they have lived in the village for a long time."

“This requires us to do some thinking.”

Yang Xingguo explained,

At the beginning, he did as Luo Xiao thought, finding those poor elderly people who needed help, and then telling them that they could live a better life in Jiangcheng, and then those elderly people would agree.

But after actually interacting with those old people, he found that the facts were not what he had imagined.

Some old people are very stubborn, or traditional. They like to return to their roots and would rather die in this village.

They were very distressed about this. These elderly people had no relatives and had problems making their own living, but they just refused to agree to go to Jiangcheng.

For such people, they often have to do ideological work for a long time.

Moreover, some elderly people refused to go even after much ideological work, and he had no choice but to leave some funds for them to live on their own.

After chatting for a while, they were almost ready to rest.

The villagers are still busy transporting supplies.

"Let's take a walk around the village."

Luo Xiao suggested.

"Ok!"

Yang Xingguo and Wang Bin nodded. Following behind them was a cameraman and another person who was operating a drone to take a panoramic view of the village.

The village is not very big, with only about 50 households.

Occasionally, you can see some children aged four or five running around in the village. At the gates of some courtyards, there are elderly people sitting, who look to be over 70 years old. Next to them stands a child who looks only about three years old.

"These are all left-behind children. Their parents should be working outside."

Yang Xingguo looked at the old people and children at the door and spoke.

"The child is so young, how dare the parents leave the child here? Aren't they afraid that the elderly can't take good care of him?"

Luo Xiao was a little confused.

It is already very difficult for an elderly person in his 70s to take care of himself, let alone taking care of a child.

"There is no other way. Both parents are working outside and don't have time to take care of the child, so they can only be left to the elderly."

"But this is actually a good thing. Leaving the child here proves that the child's parents will regularly give money to the elderly. At least their lives will not be a problem."

"It's just that the child lacks the love of his father and mother."

Yang Xingguo began to explain.

Elderly people and left-behind children are the most common combination in such poor mountainous areas, but it is also the best case scenario.

Such a combination often means that the child's parents are likely to take care of the child.

"If you can't even take care of your child, then why bother having one?"

Wang Bin looked puzzled. He couldn't understand why the woman would give birth to a child when it was obvious that there was no way to take care of her after giving birth.

Even if you want a child, you should at least give the child a good living environment.

Parents still need some simple companionship.

"this........"

Yang Xingguo hesitated for a moment, then began to explain.

"This is a cultural issue. These mountainous areas are not only economically backward, but also culturally backward. The elderly in these villages are very traditional."

"Most of these elderly people still want to continue their family line, so they basically don't think too much about it."

"As for whether the child will have a good life after birth, whether he will lack the love of his parents, these are secondary."
