The Richest Man Yang Fei - Chapter 635
Chapter 634 The great Yang Fei
“It’s okay. Qiu Feng lost his eyes.” Yang Fei smiled slightly.
Chen Mo smiled: “Let me just say, how can a strong person like you shed tears?”
Yang Fei asked, “What are you doing?”
Chen Mo said, “I just came out of the library. Have you read a good book?”
Yang Fei took a look in her hand and said, “Great Gatsby, I’ve seen it.”
Chen Mo said: “This book is very special. When I first started, I read it a few times because it was a world-famous book, but I threw it away after reading the beginning. I always felt that I couldn’t keep it. I suddenly read it today. ”
Yang Fei said: “To understand this book, we must first understand the background of this story.”
Chen Mo said, “You tell me, I don’t understand.”
Yang Fei said: “The 1920s of this century are a short and special period in American history. History is called the noisy era, referring to the 10 years from 1919 after the end of the First World War to 1929 before the American economic collapse. ”
Chen Mo said: “It was originally about this time. That is equivalent to our period of the Republic of China.”
Yang Fei said: “This era is very special. The United States is at the historical crossroads of the old and the new. The booming capitalism has allowed the United States to quickly enter the industrialized modern society from the agricultural civilization. The transportation, mining, and construction industries are expanding rapidly. The electrical appliances and automobile manufacturing industries are suddenly stubborn, and automobiles, electrical equipment, household machinery, processed foods and ready-made clothing have begun to enter the family, bringing unprecedented comfort to the lives of many Americans. Real estate transactions and stock markets are particularly active, and some speculators Become a nouveau riche in this type of gambling industry overnight.”
Chen Mo said, “Isn’t that the epitome of our current era?”
Yang Fei said: “The amount of wealth has become the criterion for judging a person’s success. People have begun to make money blindly, make quick money, and make more money; they are chasing to become wealthy and become richer. At the same time, American hedonism, Spencer’s theory of evolution and James’s pragmatism philosophy prevailed in the United States. Traditional Puritan moral values ​​and religious beliefs promoted hard work and thrift and other ideas have gradually been replaced by consumer hedonisms such as the pursuit of personal wealth and the enjoyment of material life.”
Chen Mo said: “Really, I think what we are living is the life of the United States in the 1920s!”
Yang Fei said: “Gatsby lost his first love Daisy. He firmly believed that it was because he was not rich enough. So he determined to become a rich man. A few years later, he got his wish. So he wanted to recover the married business woman. Daisy. He packaged himself as a handsome, authentic gentleman and sang and sang every night in a luxurious villa. But Daisy was no longer the Daisy of the past. Once Daisy drove in a state of upset and killed her husband Tom. Gatsby’s mistress. Gatsby took the responsibility of driving to protect Daisy, but Daisy had made up his mind to abandon Gatsby. Under Tom’s provocation, his mistress’s husband shot Gatsby to death. Gatsby In the end, he was completely a victim. Gatsby didn’t notice the mocking smile on Daisy’s face until his death.”
Chen Mo thought for a while and asked, “So, why do you say that Gatsby is great?”
Yang Fei said: “Because Gatsby is a real person, an innocent person. He treats love sincerely and romantically, full of fantasy. For the Snow White in his mind, he strives to build a golden palace and a lively party, but He has no interest in all these pleasures and noises. He is sincere, pure, and kind to get along with others. He will also lie and use improper means to make money, but his purpose is pure and good. It is because of the intermingling. Among the selfish and filthy crowd, Gatsby’s innocence and romance have become increasingly noble and refined.”
“Really?” Chen Mo pursed his lips. “Why do you use yakuza when you talk about lying and making money?”
“Is there?” Yang Fei laughed, “Do you think I’m talking about myself?”
Chen Mo held the book in his arms and turned his head to look at him: “You are even more remarkable than him!”
Yang Fei touched his chin, thinking, how can I compare with Gatsby?
If I were Gatsby, you would be Daisy.
It’s just that you didn’t marry a merchant woman.
Yang Fei looked at her eyes and suddenly became gentle.
Chen Mo felt his scorching gaze, his pink face flushed, and he fluffed his hair somewhat restrainedly, and said with a smile: “Listening to your explanation, I can understand this masterpiece more easily.”
Yang Fei said, “You were right. The United States in the 1920s is our present.”
Chen Mo said, “So in our era, will there be many great Gatsbys?”
Yang Fei said: “There must be. I just don’t know if there are any great writers to record the pulse of this era. Oh, I have to thank you.”
Chen Mo asked puzzledly: “Thank me?”
Yang Fei said, “You said, is it interesting to adapt this story into a movie?”
Chen Mo smiled and said, “Is it so famous, has no one adapted it?”
Yang Fei said: “There has been an adaptation, but we can make it into an oriental feature film.”
Chen Mo said, “I think it’s better to shoot your story! The audience is more interested in your success story!”
Yang Fei laughed and said: “I mean serious. Like words, movies are also a means of recording the times. They use artistic methods to express the strongest sounds of a certain era. The imagery expressed by Gatsby’s story It is connected with our modern society. I think that if this story is orientalized, it will definitely resonate if it is photographed.”
“Well, I don’t understand movies, but I understand you. If you say yes, it must be good.”
Yang Fei looked at her pure eyes and thought, do you really understand me?
“I shared a book with you, but you thought of a movie that makes money.” Chen Mo winked playfully and smiled, “Should you invite my guest?”
“Well, good. What do you want to eat?”
“No. I want to watch a movie, can I?”
“Oh, yes.” Yang Fei said, “When are you free?”
“Just tonight.”
“I’ll go to the cinema to see if there are any good movies. I will buy the tickets first.”
“No, there is a movie in the school hall, don’t you know?”
“Huh? What movie?”
“A sunny day starring Xia Yu and tranquility? Very classic!”
“Classic? Did you use the word wrong? This film was only released on September 1st! A new movie, how can it be called a classic? Well, such a time-tested work is called a classic!” Chen Mo patted the masterpiece in his hands.
Yang Fei smiled helplessly: “Well, let’s look at the sunny days.”
The movies shown in the school are a kind of welfare, two yuan per ticket.
Chen Mo happily stretched out his little finger and pursed his mouth: “Don’t regret it! Let’s pull the hook!”
Yang Fei: “…”
Set a small goal first, such as 1 second remember: Shukeju
