Chapter 28 The answer is that there is no answer
Bang, bang, bang.
The green car still made the same noise, but this time the destination was Kunming.
Jiang Wen made it clear to Shen Fang that he should come here to meet him.
Shen Fang remembers that "The Sun Also Rises" was shot at Kunming University, the red soil of Dongchuan, Hani Rice Terraces and other places.
It takes a lot of time to go from Oak Mountain to the provincial capital of Caiyunzhinan.
Of course, Shen Fang would not waste it. He was holding a book in his hand, "The Good Man of Sichuan" by Brecht.
How could a German write such a work?
Shen Fang didn't understand it at first, but after he finished reading the story, he understood it.
"Good People from Sichuan" can also be "Good People from 'Anywhere'".
There are gods in the sky who believe that good people in this world will not live long. Then three gods come down to earth to find good people to refute this argument.
The good guy has found a lost woman, Shen Dai.
She did do a lot of good things, but she soon discovered that these good things were too difficult to do.
Shen Dai was so smart that she simply 'invented' a person, her nephew, named Cui Da.
Cui Da and Shen Dai's code of conduct are completely opposite. He doesn't care about any moral and legal constraints, but by doing this, Shen Dai's store business is getting better and better.
She can do more good things.
In the end, the truth is revealed, the good guys and the bad guys are actually the same person.
The three gods had no choice but to run back to heaven.
It's such a story.
However, compared to "The Life of Galileo", "The Good Man of Sichuan" is a more influential work.
Shen Fang even felt that he had seen the shadow of this work in many movies.
That picture appeared in his mind involuntarily.
Should good people be held at gunpoint?
Shen Fang felt inexplicably that instead of saving the poor and scolding the rich, it is better to treat good people first.
Letting good people be rewarded is easier said than done.
At this moment, Shen Fang seemed to understand Brecht, but he didn't seem to understand it.
The noisy carriage pulled Shen Fang out of his thoughts again. He probably still didn't understand.
He didn't dare to waste a little time, so he simply took out the review materials.
He had to take the college entrance examination again, which was no less difficult for him than the art exam.
Fortunately, Shen Fang has accumulated quite a lot of money on weekdays. He plans to focus on Chinese, politics, and English.
Nowadays, the comprehensive examination should be carried out, but it should never deviate from its roots.
The scores required by art colleges are not very high, Shen Fang only needs to pass by with low scores, and he does not have the character of being an academic master.
The carriage was still very noisy, and I was immersed in the fragrance of books and felt content.
…
…
"Junior brother, has it been hard on this journey?"
"Teacher Jiang Wen, I haven't been admitted to the Chinese Opera yet! However, the hard work is very hard."
"Oh, who are you angry with? Haha..."
"Teacher Jiang Wen, I can still call you teacher. I hope you can be worthy of this title."
"Haha...it depends on what you said, come on, I, Teacher Jiang Wen, will help you!"
To be honest, Shen Fang was still a little surprised.
Jiang Wen personally drove to the train station to pick him up, which showed his sincerity.
However, Shen Fang still kept a straight face.
The young guy wanted to express his protest.
Jiang Wen, on the other hand, fully demonstrated what it means to "pretend to be confused" and always had a smile on his face.
He was still driving steadily, and his destination this time was the red soil of Dongchuan, where the scenes of "Crazy Mom" were planned to be filmed.
Dongchuan Red Land is about two hundred kilometers away from KM City, but this place still belongs to Kunming.
It's quite troublesome without a car.
When the car was halfway through, Jiang Wen said, "I know a shop that makes good mutton."
After saying that, he drove the car off the highway.
…
"Ah! Teacher Jiang Wen, you are here again!"
"Haha... don't be a teacher, boss, hurry up and make a pot of mutton and make some delicious side dishes."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The shop owner knew Jiang Wen, but Shen stood aside and was not easy to talk to.
He just kept a straight face.
Not long after, a pot of mutton was served.
It is said that this is the famous local Dongchuan sheep.
People in the South seem to like to cook mutton with the skin on, probably because they think it has a better texture when eaten this way.
Shen Fang was hungry all the way here, and what's more, the scent of the mutton he smelled now was much stronger than the smell on the train.
Moreover, this is what you, Jiang Wen, owe me!
Without saying much, he directly transformed into a cook.
As a young man, he always had a good appetite, but when he started eating freely, Jiang Wen looked delicious.
"Slow down a little...leave some for me...you'll get angry if you eat too much of this mutton."
Jiang Wen didn't have much arrogance in the first place, but now he doesn't even care.
The two of them were fighting over each other, and the boss over there was smiling happily.
Shen Fang ate until his belly was round, then he wiped his mouth.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, what's going on?"
In fact, Shen Fang didn't need to ask at least half of this question, but it wouldn't work if he didn't ask.
Jiang Wen also wiped his mouth, not pretending to be confused this time, "It is true that I, Jiang Wen, am sorry for you, but my junior brother, I am really in trouble for this matter..."
Then, naturally we talked about eldest brother Long and Fang Zuming.
In fact, Shen Fang didn't need to listen to Jiang Wen's story at all. He could guess almost everything. However, Jiang Wen's story emphasized the role of Boss Yang even more.
The boss of Yinghuang, Yang, is the big financial backer of this movie, and the issue of the male lead was also won by Boss Yang with the help of others.
Naturally, it is to lick the big brother Long.
The funder lobbied hard, and Jiang Wen had no choice but to comply.
He also knew that he felt guilty towards Shen Fang, and his attitude was very sincere.
Shen Fang also looked at Jiang Wen as if he was acting, but there were some things Shen Fang had to say.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, I understand your situation now, but do you understand my situation?"
Jiang Wen slapped his thigh and said, "Junior brother, just tell me."
Shen Fang was not polite, "You told me clearly that day that I would be the leading actor in your new movie. What do you think I will do next?"
"How do I know this?" Jiang Wen was so surprised.
"Let me tell you, now my friends and everyone I know know that I will be the leading actor in your new movie!"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wen couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Shen Fang became even more angry when he saw him laughing, "Why are you laughing? Is there something wrong with what I'm doing?"
Jiang Wen took some and said, "Nothing wrong with it. If it were me, I would do the same."
Shen Fang then said: "Even if I am your junior brother, then I am also your big wronged junior brother!"
Although "big wronged" was not as popular as it was later, Jiang Wen understood the term and he laughed even more.
In fact, Shen Fang didn't publicize it vigorously, but now the result is like this. He said this just to make Jiang Wen feel more guilty. Unexpectedly, this guy was too thick-skinned and didn't break his defense.
Then try another approach.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, please tell me in good conscience. My eldest brother Long's son is now an American. Even if he doesn't live in the United States every day, he still lives in a big city like Hong Kong. Is he suitable for the role of squad leader?"
Jiang Wen couldn't help but nod after hearing this, "Shen Fang, I also know it's inappropriate, but I really can't help it now. Can you please be considerate to me, senior brother?"
As for his senior brother, Shen Fang gave him a blank look.
Jiang Wen really had his wits about him, so he simply hooked up and said, "I've heard that the teachers speak highly of you. From now on, we are our own family. You are not the leading actor in this movie. It doesn't matter. I will make the next movie." I ask you to be the leading actor, why don’t we get married!”
When Shen Fang heard this, he couldn't help but get even more angry.
Jiang Wen, you can do it!
If it were anyone else, I would have been fooled by you. It's a pity that I, Shen Fang, know better than you yourself what your next movie will be!
Could I be the main character in that movie?
To be honest, Shen Fang was already moved by Jiang Wen just now, but now, he decided to show off.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, do you still remember the first conversation we had in the car?"
"Remember." Jiang Wen smiled after hearing this, "You said you are a nobody, but you said I am a big star and director."
Shen Fang chuckled, "Let's just say it clearly, why should a big star and director like you be so attentive to a nobody like me?"
These words made Jiang Wen stunned for at least three seconds.
"Okay! You are indeed my junior brother!" This guy admitted that he had been seen through.
Shen Fang didn't give him a chance to perform, "Now, how else do you want me to 'help' you."
Jiang Wen smiled. He felt more and more that his junior brother had something, but since he had been seen through, he should just do it.
"Didn't you just say that? That boy Fang Gu Ming, he has been living in a big city, so what should we do in order to make him the squad leader?"
Shen Fang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Of course we let him go to the countryside to experience life."
Jiang Wen laughed and said, "Yes! This is a good idea! Junior brother, you are from the countryside and you have a life. So, you help him and make him look like a rural boy faster and better."
After hearing this, Shen Fang's expression was extremely helpless.
He knew that Jiang Wen would beg for him, otherwise, even if he felt very guilty about himself, he wouldn't be so attentive.
Of course, we cannot agree to this easily.
Shen Fang thought about that problem.
"Teacher Jiang Wen, you said before that "The Sun Also Rises" is a 'Brechtian film'. What exactly do you mean?"
Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Junior brother, if you can think about this problem, I feel that you are definitely not a thing in the pool!"
"Okay, okay, come on." Shen Fang was really tossing and turning over this question, he was anxious.
Fortunately, Jiang Wen gave his answer immediately.
"My personal understanding of 'Brechtian films' is that they do not tell the audience what to express. This type of film is speculative and respects the audience. The audience can use their own imagination and think whatever they want.
That is, you want an answer?
Sorry, no answer."
At this moment, all Shen Fang's previous questions about Brecht seemed to be solved.
He finally figured out why many people couldn't understand "The Sun Also Rises".
He shook his head and smiled bitterly. The answer he was searching for turned out to be no answer.
Then do him Jiang Wen a favor... You fooled me, why can't I fool you?
Shen Fang stood up and planned to go back.
But I heard Jiang Wen shouting from behind.
Chapter completed!
