Chapter 231. [There is no sleep in the prison tonight]
The black man Kane was silently observing the surroundings of the square in a secluded place. Although as a bodyguard, he had completed the task of escorting, he was still doing what a bodyguard should do responsibly.
At this moment, the night wind suddenly rose, whistling back and forth inside the prison walls. The lonely prison imprisoned freedom, leaving courage and hope to those who dared to struggle.
Kane observed his surroundings motionlessly, remaining motionless despite the night wind blowing sand and dust on his face.
Being a bodyguard requires patience and even more perseverance, especially in an environment like this, which requires a lot of patience.
The sound of footsteps came from the side, and Yi Feiyang slowly walked to Kane's side with a bottle of liquor in his hand.
Glancing at the prisoners in the dark square who were watching a movie, Yi Feiyang said to Kane: "Hey, Kane, do you want a sip? This is the good wine I asked for from Fidel!"
Kane glanced at him and said with a serious expression: "Sorry, boss, I can't drink while working."
Yi Feiyang smiled, gently opened the bottle of liquor and said, "Consider it my thanks for recovering the movie tape!" After saying that, he handed the liquor over.
Kane hesitated for a moment, took the bottle, and took a big sip. He felt a burning sensation in his throat, and then his whole body became hot. On such a night, it was as if a fire was burning and warm.
Yi Feiyang took the bottle, wiped the mouth of the bottle and took a sip, then looked at the square and said: "Kane, what do you think of me as a person?"
Kane was stunned and said, "Ah, what is it like?"
"Haha, you should understand what I mean is that as an outsider, if you want to survive in the United States, you must make more efforts-----" sighed. Yi Feiyang said leisurely
, "Perhaps you don't know, I come from a humble background like you. I ran to the United States from Hong Kong three years ago because of debt evasion. My first job was as a busboy in a restaurant. I was the kind of person who could never die from hunger.
My job... I am in the restaurant every day, either holding a rag and a plate, or pouring tea and water for the guests. Sometimes the boss is satisfied and will nod to you, but most of them scold you for being too slow.
, call you bastard shit..."
Yi Feiyang's words brought back Kane's memories.
Once upon a time, he was born in a black slum in the United States, where black people had only two choices, either to walk out or to go to prison. Kane has four younger siblings. He is the eldest son in the family, and his father is a construction worker.
The workers in the team were all sold as coolies. My mother had no education and could only help others sew and mend, and then take care of the children.
Kane became independent when he was very young. He understood the hardships of his family, so he would look for scraps in garbage dumps to sell for money, and would repair broken toys discarded by others for his younger siblings to play with - he hated and was tired of this.
Living a poor life, he even resented the disdainful looks on him by the white people, who insulted him as a "nigger".
In this country that flaunts democracy and freedom, black people ostensibly have equal rights with white people, but in fact they are discriminated against everywhere. In school, Kane has always been a good student with both good conduct and academic performance. He studies very hard.
There was only one goal, to go out and get out of this terrible black area. At that time, he set one goal after another for himself. The first was to get a school scholarship and leave here to go to school in other places. The second was to find a promising job and become one of the few in the United States.
There are not many rich black people.
Unfortunately, these goals were so far away from him that in the end, Kane could only become a CIA member working for the government. However, through hard work, he at least assumed the position of captain. Unfortunately, a few years ago,
Because of a certain incident of saving people, he was implicated and was forced to retire. Now, he can only work as a security supervisor at Paramount.
“Sometimes many people complain about how unfair God is, saying how poor and backward they were born in. Sometimes they can’t even have a full meal. Compared with those who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, they are simply a world away.
Don't. When others are riding in cars to play in the amusement park, I have to carry my younger siblings to pick up garbage; when others are tired of steak and seafood and want a change of taste, I am still worried about having a full stomach. The world
It's so unfair, the poor are blessed, the class is discriminated against, you and I can't escape..." Yi Feiyang said quietly.
"Sometimes I think, there is nothing wrong with what kind of family God puts you in. At least he has given us the power to fight, and the only thing we can seize is this power. With our youth and blood, and
The courage to never bow down will create your own tomorrow."
Kane's hand holding the liquor tightened and he said: "Dear Mr. Yi, it is undeniable that you are a very charming person. I have heard many legendary stories about you before. When I saw you today, you are indeed very charming."
Extraordinary --- everything you just said really touched my heart and made me resonate strongly with you, but do you think you can make me join you with these? No, I am a principled person
people!"
"Haha, I never expected to convince you with these few words..." Yi Feiyang raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. "I said so much just to let you understand that you and I have many similarities. I
Understand that you come from a poor family, and such people value emotions the most, because there must be many people who have helped you on the bumpy and rugged road of struggle, and you also want to repay your gratitude to them, but you just don’t have the chance...
"
"What do you mean?"
"Haha, what I mean is very simple," Yi Feiyang smiled and stuffed something into Kane's pocket, "This is a little hard money. I won't let you defect to Fantasy Pictures from Paramount. I just hope
You can help me and use your professional knowledge to help me train some security talents. Yes, my company is very weak in this area... As for this matter, I will also tell Mr. Raymond, you just need to spare some
It just takes time, it's that simple, man!" Yi Feiyang stood up with a smile, turned around and left.
In fact, through this master tape theft incident, Yi Feiyang became strongly aware of the deficiencies in the company's security measures for the first time. Kane, who was born in the CIA, is undoubtedly an expert in this area. If he can get his help. Establish
A complete security team will be just around the corner.
Kane looked at Yi Feiyang's back. He picked up the liquor and wanted to take a sip. But he took out what was in his pocket first... it was a check, a check that could solve his troubles.
…
When Yi Feiyang returned to his seat in the prison square, the cartoon "Speed Snail" directed by him had reached its final stage.
Story plot: The turbine of the little snail Tebo was discovered by humans and brought to the human world. At this time Tebo had a bigger ideal - to participate in the Indianapolis 500 racing race. His goal was to win the championship. In his own
With the efforts of his master, Tebo began to sprint towards his dream...
Looking at the prisoners watching the movie, they all looked attentive. Some even gritted their teeth and seemed to be persisting.
That's right. The movie at this moment has completely infected them, allowing them to see the struggle of a little person.
A little snail still has the courage to compete with humans. Don’t guys like them who have gone down the wrong path and are imprisoned in prison not have the courage to start a new life?!
Prisoner John was imprisoned here for buying and selling marijuana. At that time, he was still a street gangster and had the dream of being a racing driver. However, being a racing driver also requires financial support. Without money, you can't modify your car. Only
You can eat exhaust gas behind your opponents. Without money, you can’t participate in formal competitions, and you can’t hire an excellent team...
In short, John worked hard for his dream, but he repeatedly ran into obstacles. Until finally, in order to realize his dream of being a racing driver, he started selling marijuana and smuggling it from Mexico to the United States in order to earn high profits.
For the first time, he succeeded. With money, he had a carnival, drank, danced, and had sex with horses... He did all the extravagant things, but he just forgot about his dream of being a racing driver. Soon, he was selling marijuana.
The money was all spent, and John, who had adapted to this depraved life, had to continue to take risks and smuggle more marijuana from Mexico into the United States. The second time, he succeeded again. He was still partying, degenerate, drunken and living in dreams, but
He forgot his ideals. The third time, the fourth time, and the fifth time, he was caught. Due to the large amount of marijuana sold and the seriousness of the circumstances, he was sentenced to a very heavy penalty and was imprisoned in this building.
Fox River Prison.
Then, he woke up from his dream, and he knew what he had missed, especially in the past few days, he always had the same dream. When he was a child, he was riding a bicycle and speeding under the care of his father. Then he looked at his father and raised his little face.
Said: "Dad, when I grow up, I want to be a racing driver!"
Every time John woke up from this dream, he would burst into tears. He was sad about his current situation and his failed life.
"Maybe this is the end of my life!" He covered his face and kept saying to himself.
Disheartened, discouraged, and losing faith.
John lives in prison like a zombie...just living, breathing, and mechanically accepting the punishment of the law.
But today, but now, facing the little snail Tebo on the screen, John's dead heart was rekindled with passion.
Even a little snail dares to risk his life to pursue his dream. As a human being, what else is there to be afraid of?!
John's heart was turbulent, and for the first time he had the desire to be resurrected. He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes showed firm belief, I want to be released from prison as soon as possible, and I must become a racing driver!
In fact, after watching the drama "Speed Snail", many prisoners had different psychological feelings.
Like John, that's just one of them.
To be honest, Yi Feiyang's topic selection is great, especially if a topic like this is premiered in an environment like a prison, people who watch it will immediately feel a kind of passion, specifically a kind of passion after being moved.
, the passion to work hard!
"Come on, Tebo, you will definitely succeed!"
"Come on, Turbo! I'm proud of you!"
"Work hard for your dream!"
…
The prisoners couldn't help but start to encourage the snail Tebo on the screen, and the whole square seemed to be in a hot mood for a while.
If the entire movie venue was a mixture of depression and hope just now, then it has turned into anxiety and uneasiness. The audience's expectations for the fate of the little snail Tebo and whether it can defeat humans and win the racing championship have already formed the audience's expectations.
.
The last scene.
Tebot participates in a racing competition and will start a life-and-death battle with the champion driver. In this scene, a lot of subjective shots are first used to show the subjective feelings of the little snail Tebot. For example, it looks at the entire racing field and reminds of the past.
Those racing dreams I had have now come true, its eyes, its movements, and the racing posters stroking towards the finish line with my hands---
Close shot, racing begins!
As the car started, countless racing cars buzzed, heralding the beginning of a brutal battle.
On the winding and winding track, the racing cars were parked in their respective parking spaces, ready for action.
The tempo of the movie music accelerated, and as the snail Tebo galloped on the track, people's hearts were all hanging in their throats.
"Can he win the championship?"
"This competition is so intense!"
"I hope he wins the championship!"
"Become a superman. If you become a superman, you won't be afraid of anything!"
…
The audience prayed in their hearts, as if the people running on the track at this moment were themselves.
On the large screen, the little snail Tebo's shell cracked, his superpowers were slowly declining, and countless racing cars whizzed past him.
People were extremely nervous, especially when Tebo no longer had super powers. Many people's hearts were in their throats.
What to do, can it win?
But Tebo is Tebo after all. He will never give up until the last moment. He struggles hard, and at the last moment he bursts out with amazing strength and sprints at extremely high speeds!
All the cars behind collided together, and the whole scene was chaotic.
Just one step away!
There was only one step left for Tebo to reach the finish line, but he had no strength left.
At the same time, the proud racing champion is behind it.
Both of them were exhausted and rested.
Whoever can take the last step will be the big winner.
"Damn it, I won't lose, especially not to you, a damn little snail!" The racing champion lifted up the broken car and moved it towards the finish line.
Turtle the snail also moves.
The two compete, and speed and time are victory for them.
Seeing that Turbo was about to reach the finish line, the champion driver stepped on it with his feet and hit it with his tires...
All the audience felt like they were about to suffocate.
The last step!
Tebo crossed the finish line!!!
In the silent arena, he stood up from the finish line with difficulty, raised his head and took a deep breath - he smelled the smell of victory.
At that moment, all the hard work and efforts were completely released!
Wow!
With Tebo's final victory, the entire screening venue stood up excitedly. Many people shouted loudly: "Tebo, great job!" "Tebo, you are so awesome!" "Tebo, I support you.
!" However, the most people still shouted together: "Long live the dream-----"
The movie has been shown to this point, and everyone has breathed a sigh of relief. As a cartoon, the ending is always very happy, so the final arrangement of the movie can be said to have fulfilled everyone's wishes. Tebo and his friends finally became outstanding
racing driver,
The movie ends.
After the movie ended, the situation in the prison square could only be described in one sentence, that is: both the prisoners and the reporters were infected by the happy ending of the movie!
When all the lights in the square were turned on, Yi Feiyang turned his head and saw faces full of tears.
Even the warden Fidlo, who wanted to use the opportunity to promote publicity, burst into tears. After reacting to the emotions of the movie, he hurriedly wiped the tears from his face secretly and muttered: "
This little snail is so damn touching!"
The applause, as expected, rang out, deafening, and even more enthusiastic than Yi Feiyang imagined.
Amid the strong demands of the audience, Yi Feiyang was pushed to the podium in front.
After more than an hour of screening, the audience felt like they were riding a small boat on the river of history, a winding and majestic river. This cartoon moved them far more than Yi Feiyang's original film.
estimate.
"Dear friends, this is not a simple cartoon." Yi Feiyang held the microphone, his heart almost convulsing with excitement.
The audience in the square looked at him in silence, anticipating Yi Feiyang's next words.
"This is a hymn, a great hymn for pursuing dreams! An immortal hymn!"
Wow!
After Yi Feiyang finished his sentence, there was a wave of applause.
"About the little snail Tebo, I just want to say that although Tebo is weak, his heart is very strong! For it, dreams are everything that supports itself. With dreams, it can endure some suffering! For its dreams,
It did not hesitate to gamble with its own life in the final stage! When the probability of failure and success was so disparate, it resolutely chose to take risks. In the end, this little snail became a real hero! A hero on the field
!”
"Many times, everyone uses various reasons to justify their pursuit of ideals. I am old and have no time. That dream is too far away. Let's forget it. I still have to support my family, and these dreams cannot be used as food.
Eat, also, I have been in prison, what qualifications do people like me have to pursue dreams... Is this the case, everyone is prevaricating, fearing, and being a coward? We should ask ourselves secretly: In our hearts
Deep down, do we still have the passion to pursue our dreams? Or are we being mediocre by life and planning to eat, drink and wait until we are old? Do we have an escape route in mind before we do it and calculate the ratio of success to failure?
, trying to pay the least price and get the most? If so, then please don’t ignore the fact that courage only belongs to those who are fearless, and victory only belongs to those who dare to pursue it! Because what we are chasing is not innocence, but
It’s a dream! Everything is for the dream!”
"For the dream!"
"For the dream!"
The audience all cheered.
“Get rid of these shackles and pursue our dreams!”
"God gives us dreams, we must work hard to pursue them!"
"chase!"
"chase!"
…
Many prisoners cried while shouting.
The premiere of "Speed Snail" was a huge success.
Yi Feiyang moved everyone, specifically, all the prisoners, with a cartoon full of childlike innocence.
This group of "alternatives" who were imprisoned in prison, unable to see the sun, and lost their freedom, thought that they should live like a zombie for the rest of their lives. Even after they were released from prison, they would continue to follow the same old path, selling drugs, robbing, and committing crimes.
Science... This is the life they are accustomed to. Just as Yi Feiyang said, life has stereotyped them. Prisoners will always be prisoners and it is impossible to be a new person... But Yi Feiyang denied their negative thoughts.
Ideas, tell them that no matter who you are, no matter where you are, you can pursue your dreams without hesitation! Like a little snail, run and gallop!
"God, I must continue to be a baseball player after I am released from prison. Yes, this is my dream!"
"My dream is to open a pizza restaurant. If possible, man, how about we work together?"
"Haha, I thought about it. My dream is to be a cowherd! Have a lot of girlfriends and make a lot of money!"
…
No matter what, this group of prisoners regained their confidence in life and their goals after being released from prison from this cartoon.
Although after the premiere, there was no grand celebration like outside, the warden Fidlow still kindly informed everyone that they can turn off the lights for an hour tonight. This is unprecedented in the prison, so on that day
At midnight, the entire Fox River Prison was still brightly lit, and many inmates in the same cell were still happily discussing the movie.
