Chapter 388 "Waiting" (Fifth update to be updated)
Soon, the third short film "Waiting" began to be screened.

In the first frame of the short film, the camera is shot close-up, and the heroine is on the phone.

She mentioned her father on the phone and made an appointment with the doctor to discuss follow-up treatment!

At the edge of the camera, an old man with white hair and beard sat there quietly.

Many people guessed that this should be her father, right?

The camera zoomed out and turned into a front view.

The woman's belly is swollen, obviously a pregnant woman.

She hung up the phone and took a long breath.

The expression on her face was not good-looking, she reached out to touch her swollen belly, and let out another breath!

Obviously she was not in such a good mood!
And the old man next to her, who was suspected to be her father, put his hands in the pockets of his jacket, saw the woman's appearance, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

However, the distance between the two of them and the reaction of the old man made the audience a little confused. Could it be that they guessed wrong?

Because he doesn't look so familiar with women, it's more like a stranger's concern!
The woman turned her head and glanced at the old man and nodded: "I'm fine!"

The old man asked, "How many months?"

While stroking her protruding belly, the woman looked a little surprised when she heard the old man's words and asked, "What?"

"I just want to know how long have you been pregnant?" The old man said as he glanced at the woman's swollen belly, and then seemed to feel the woman's impatience, or felt that his question seemed a bit abrupt.

He said again: "I'm sorry!"

Then turn around and stop looking at the woman!
In the picture, the woman seemed a little helpless, but she still answered the question: "21 weeks!"

She turned her head and glanced at the old man again: "Tuesday will be 21 weeks!"

"NO LONG TO GO! (It's about to be unloaded)" the old man said with a smile.

The woman didn't look at the old man and said, "That's easy to say!"

The old man asked curiously, "Do you find it difficult?"

The woman nodded.

Seeing that the woman seemed a little depressed, the old man smiled as if comforting her and said, "You must still feel very excited!"

The woman smiled back at the old man!Although her smile looks a bit bitter!
But obviously, she thought he was right!

Both were silent, and after a while, the woman suddenly said, "I'm scared!"

The old man wondered: "What are you afraid of?"

Woman Seemingly Under Unknown Pressure to Say, "Everything! Everything!"

The old man comforted and said, "You will be fine for sure!"

"Everyone says that, but what if it doesn't get better?"

The woman looked at the old man: "What should I do?"

I don't know why many audiences in the theater were touched by this sentence.

Yes, everyone will reassure me that it will definitely get better, but what if it doesn't get better?How to do?
The old man thought for a while and said, "Your husband will help you!"

The woman didn't answer, she just lowered her head and touched her swollen belly!She didn't wear a ring on her hand, and her reaction let everyone know that she might be an unwed mother!Or, divorced.
"It will be solved! Everyone can do it!" said the old man!

The woman was noncommittal: "Really?"

The old man turned sideways: "Where's your family?"

The woman showed a helpless smile: "The situation in my family is very complicated!"

"Is your relationship good?"

"It's just me and my dad! He's also sick, so."

"It'll be fine!"

It's just that after the woman heard it, her nose felt a little sour, and she felt like crying!
She pinched her nose, trying not to let herself cry.

Another burst of silence!The woman is depressed, and the old man looks forward blankly!

At this time, the bus is coming!

The woman stood up as if saying goodbye to the old man: "Let's go, the car is here!"

She picked up the satchel on the chair and walked towards the bus!

She took two steps and suddenly turned to look at the old man.

The old man looked a little confused and overwhelmed!
It seems that the woman came over and stretched out her hand: "Dad, let's go!"

She took her elderly father's hand and boarded the bus. In the camera, the bus slowly went away!

The video is over!

Many audiences in the theater have not recovered yet!
At first, some people actually speculated that the old man belonged to her father.

But in the middle, the conversation between the two made people deny this guess again, because the two seemed to not know each other.

From a stranger who met by fate to a father who accompanied him since he was a child, this transition is shocking enough!

But in fact, the information revealed in the plain conversation before was not plain at all.

The woman in the play obviously has no husband, and what she has to face later is not only the child who is about to be born, but also the father with dementia. Even with welfare protection, the hardships of life are unimaginable for ordinary people.But life is like this, it makes you miserable, and you have to persevere.

As the woman said, what if it doesn't get better?
She could only grit her teeth and walk on, what else could she do?
This makes many people feel distressed, and what is even more distressing is that if a father who raised his daughter as a princess from a young age sees his daughter's current situation, how sad and self-blaming he would be.

What's even more distressing is that he doesn't even remember the daughter he once loved the most.

I believe that any father would never want to be a burden to his daughter.

But no matter how strong a father is, he will grow old one day!

Inexplicably, someone in the theater began to sob.

Perhaps the biggest difference between this short film and the previous short film is that that short film expresses more maternal love and touch!
And "Waiting", the seemingly plain dialogue, has many points, which can make you be touched inadvertently.

Different people are touched differently.

Some people may suddenly feel her helplessness and strong feeling when she said the phrase "Dad".

Or, because when she asked in astonishment: "What?", the helplessness and heartache when she found out that her father had forgotten her again!
Or, she asked desperately: "Everyone says that, but what if it doesn't get better?"

Or, seeing the confused and helpless look of Dad when the woman got up to leave.
In fact, the turning point of the short film is not as amazing as expected, and many people may have guessed it when they watched it.

But as someone in the audience said: "I guessed it, but when the truth came out, it still shocked me!"

"Papa papa!" After a moment of silence, roaring applause rang out.

In particular, they knew that this short film was completed in less than an afternoon.

And coupled with the moving short film that is less than 2 minutes long, the applause comes from the heart.

Because Li Yi has indeed proved with facts, what is turning stone into gold, turning decay into magic, turning mediocrity into stunning!

It also proved that Li Yi is not in vain!

PS: When I watched this short film, I was disgusted by the barrage, there was a spoiler at the beginning!
