The Richest Man Yang Fei

Chapter 634: The Great Yang Fei

"It's okay. The autumn wind is fascinated." Yang Fei smiled slightly.

Chen Moyan smiled: "Let me just say, how can you shed tears for such a strong person?"

Yang Fei asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Mo said: "I just came out of the library. I borrowed a good book, have you read it?"

Yang Fei glanced at 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 put it away after reading the beginning. I always felt that I couldn't read it anymore. Today I suddenly read it. "

Yang Fei said: "To understand this book, one must first understand the background of this story."

Chen Mo hummed: "Tell me, I don't understand."

Yang Feidao: "The 1920s of this century was a short and special period in American history, known as the Humorous Era in history, referring to the 10 years from 1919 after the end of World War I to 1929 before the U.S. economic collapse. "

Chen Mo said: "So it was about this time. It is equivalent to our period of the Republic of China."

Yang Feidao: "This era is very special. The United States is at the historical intersection of the old and the new. The vigorous development of capitalism has brought the United States from an agricultural civilization to an industrialized modern society. The transportation, mining, and construction industries are expanding rapidly. The electrical and automobile manufacturing industries suddenly rose, and automobiles, electrical equipment, household machinery, processed food and ready-made clothing began to enter the family, bringing unprecedented comfort to the lives of many Americans. Real estate transactions and the stock market were particularly active, and some speculators Become overnight riches in this type of gambling industry."

Chen Mo said: "Isn't that the epitome of our current era?"

Yang Feidao: "The amount of wealth has become the criterion for judging a person's success. People began to make money blindly, making quick money, making more money; chasing getting richer and getting richer. At the same time, American hedonism, Spencer's theory of evolution and James' pragmatism prevailed in the United States, and the traditional Puritan-style moral concepts and religious beliefs advocated hardworking and frugal ideas were gradually replaced by consumer hedonism such as the pursuit of personal wealth and material life."

Chen Mo said: "Really, I think we lived the life of the United States in the 1920s!"

Yang Fei said: "Gatsby lost his first love, Daisy, and he firmly believed that it was because he was not rich enough.

So he aspired to become a rich man, and a few years later, he got his wish. So he wanted to recover Daisy, who was married to a businessman. He packaged himself as a handsome and authentic gentleman, singing and dancing every night in a luxurious villa. However, Daisy is no longer the Daisy of the past. Once Daisy drove in a disturbed state and ran over and killed her husband Tom's mistress. To protect Daisy, Gatsby assumes the responsibility of driving, but Daisy has made up her mind to abandon Gatsby. Under Tom's instigation, his mistress's husband shot and killed Gatsby. Gatsby finally became a victim completely. Gatsby died without seeing the mocking smile on Daisy's face. "

Chen Mo thought for a while and asked, "Then, why do you say that Gatsby is amazing?"

Yang Fei said: "Because Gatsby is a real person, a pure person. He treats love sincerely and romantically, full of fantasies. For the Snow White in his heart, he worked hard to build a golden palace and lively parties, but He has no interest in all these pleasures and noises. He is sincere, pure, and kind when he gets along with others. He can also tell lies and use improper means to make money, but his purpose is pure and kind. Among the selfish and filthy crowd, Gatsby's innocence and romance are all the more noble and refined."

"Really?" Chen Mo pursed her lips and smiled, "Why do you use the word Ye when you talk about lying and making money?"

"Is there?" Yang Fei laughed and said, "Do you think I'm talking about myself?"

Holding the book in her arms, Chen Mo tilted her head and looked at him: "You are even more amazing than him!"

Yang Fei rubbed 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's wife.

The way Yang Fei looked at her suddenly became gentle.

Chen Mo felt his burning gaze, her face flushed, she brushed her hair cautiously, and said with a smile, "After listening to your explanation, it will be easier for me to understand this famous book."

Yang Fei said: "You were right just now, America 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 in confusion, "Thank you?"

Yang Fei said: "You said, isn't it interesting to adapt this story into a movie?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's so famous, isn't there anyone who adapted it?"

Yang Fei said: "There has been an adaptation, but we can neutralize it and make it into an oriental feature film."

Chen Mo said: "In my opinion, it's better to shoot your story! The audience is more interested in your success story!"

Yang Fei smiled and said: "I'm serious. Movies, like texts, are also a means of recording the times. They all use artistic methods to express the strongest voice of a certain era. The imagery expressed in Gatsby's stories, It is connected with our modern society, and I think that if this story is orientalized, it will definitely resonate when it is filmed."

"Well, I don't understand movies, but I understand you. If you agree, it must be good."

Yang Fei looked into her pure eyes and thought, do you really understand me?

"I shared a book with you, but you thought of a profitable movie." Chen Mo blinked playfully and smiled, "Should you treat me as a 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'll buy the tickets first."

"No, there's a movie in the school auditorium, don't you know?"

"Huh? What movie is showing?"

"Sunny day."

"Starring Xia Yu and Tranquility? It's a classic!"

"Classic? Did you use the word wrong? This movie was only released on September 1st! A new movie, no matter what, can't be called a classic, right? Well, such a work that has passed the test of time is called a classic!" Chen Mo patted the famous book in his hand.

Yang Fei smiled helplessly: "Okay, let's watch the sunny days."

The movies shown in the school are a kind of welfare, two yuan per ticket.

Chen Mo stretched out her little finger happily, pursed her lips and said, "Don't go back on your word! Let's pull Gougou!"

Yang Fei: "..."
