Chapter 784: Shift in shooting focus
Luo Xiao sighed helplessly after hearing this, turned his head and glanced at the photographer in the distance, and found that the other party was taking pictures of the villagers carrying supplies.
"I think the focus of the shooting needs to shift."
"How to transfer?"
Wang Bin heard Luo Xiao's words and asked.
"Before we set off, we decided to focus on the activities we funded, supplemented by the villagers in these impoverished mountainous areas."
"At that time, when all the impoverished mountainous areas are filmed, the documentary is edited and broadcast, it will also be a great publicity for our Tomorrow Group and gain a good reputation."
"But now I have changed my mind. I want to focus on photographing these villagers. I can record more of their lives. I can also negotiate with these villagers and do some interviews."
"And our funding should be placed later. At the end of each episode of the documentary, some clips of our funding for these villagers can be played to let the audience know that these villagers have received funding."
Luo Xiao spoke slowly.
He suddenly understood the reason why Mr. Chen did not promote public welfare when he saw the state of these villagers.
When he thought about subsidizing these villagers and ended up using it to promote his own company, he felt that this charity was not so pure.
Even though these villagers received some help, they were indeed taken advantage of.
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.
soon,
All the villagers in the distance put the supplies on the wooden cart they brought over, but in the end only one-third of the supplies were loaded.
Because the villagers packed the supplies too full, it was very difficult for a donkey to pull the cart, so several villagers helped push it behind.
"Come on, let's go help too."
Yang Xingguo said and walked over.
Luo Xiao and Wang Bin followed and came to the back of a car to help push it.
"Benefactors, this is impossible. How can I let you do this kind of work?"
Upon seeing this, Village Chief Li hurried up to stop him.
"Village Chief Li is fine. Otherwise, we have to go to the village, so it's just a matter of convenience."
Yang Xingguo smiled and spoke.
After a conversation, Village Chief Li saw that Yang Xingguo and others insisted on helping push the cart, but there was nothing he could do.
He just secretly sent a few more villagers to help.
When Yang Xingguo saw this, he didn't say much.
After about 20 minutes,
Everyone finally arrived in 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 finished distributing the supplies, we will go to Village Chief Li and ask him to take us to each village's home to understand their current situation."
"Depending on their situation, we respond accordingly."
Yang Xingguo found a stone and sat down.
"Why don't we just count the villagers in difficulty and take them to Jiangcheng?"
Luo Xiao spoke in confusion.
"It's different. Poverty is also divided. Some poor elderly people are supported by their children at home. We don't need to bring them to Jiangcheng."
"The people we take back to Jiangcheng are basically the elderly or children who have little ability to survive."
"And there is a difficulty here, that is, even if some old people have no ability to survive, because they have survived in the village for a long time, no matter how well we describe Jiangcheng, there are many old people who are not willing to go there."
"This requires some mental activity on our part."
Yang Xingguo opened his mouth to explain,
At the beginning, he was just like Luo Xiao thought, finding those poor old people who needed help, and then told them that they could live a better life in Jiangcheng, and those old people would agree.
But after actually coming into contact with those old people, he found that the truth was not what he imagined.
Some old people are very stubborn, or traditional, and like to return to their roots after falling leaves. Even if they die, they will die in this village.
They were very distressed about this. These old people had no relatives and their own lives were full of problems, but they just didn't agree to go to Jiangcheng.
For such people, they often have to do a long time of ideological work.
Moreover, some elderly people still refuse to persist even after doing ideological work. They have no choice but to leave some funds for the elderly to live on their own.
The few of them chatted for a while and almost rested.
The villagers are still busy delivering supplies.
"Let's take a walk around the village."
Luo Xiao suggested.
"Um!"
Yang Xingguo and Wang Bin nodded. At the same time, there was a cameraman behind them, and another person controlled 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 four or five-year-old children running in the village on the road. At the entrance of some courtyards, there are old people sitting in their 70s. There was also a child who looked to be only about three years old standing next to him.
"These are left-behind children, and their parents should be working outside."
Yang Xingguo looked at the old man and child at the door and said.
"The child is so young. How dare the child's parents leave the child here? Aren't they afraid that the old man will not take good care of him?"
Luo Xiao was a little confused.
It was already very difficult for an old man in his 70s to take care of himself, let alone a child.
"There is no other way. The parents are working outside and have no time to take care of the child, so they can only leave it to the elderly."
"But this is actually good. Leaving the child here proves that the child's parents will regularly send money to the elderly, at least their lives are not a problem."
"It's just that the child lacks fatherly and motherly love."
Yang Xingguo explained.
Elderly people plus left-behind children are the most common combination in such poor mountainous areas, but it is also the best situation.
Such a combination often means that the child's parents are likely to take care of this place.
"If you can't even take care of the child, why do you still have a child?"
Wang Bin looked puzzled. He couldn't understand why he had a child when he obviously couldn't take care of it after giving birth.
Even if you want a child, at least you should give the child a good living environment.
Some simple companionship from parents is still necessary.
"This..."
Yang Xingguo hesitated for a moment, then explained.
"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 retain the idea of passing on the family line, so they basically don't think too much about things."
"As for whether the child will live a good life after birth, whether he will lack the love of his father and mother, all of these are secondary."
