Stendhal Syndrome [Entertainment]

When Mo Ci came back, he brought takeaway food and opened a bottle of red wine. Meroving felt that his emotions were complicated, as if he had a kind of wild joy and a gloomy color at the same time.

Mixed feelings, hard to say.

Merovingian wanted to ask him, and he did. "What's wrong with Mo Ci? I feel that your mood is not right."

"Well, it's okay. It's just that the traffic jam on the road was a bit annoying when I came back. You should have felt it these days after you came here. There are too many cars in Pingjing."

He took out the takeaway and put it on the table before going out. When he opened one of the boxes, he was stunned for a moment, "Hey, didn't I tell them not to put carrots, why did I still put them?"

"You hate carrots?"

"No..." Don't you eat?

Mo Ci almost said these words, and then suddenly realized that he shouldn't know the "details" of Merovingian's life, after all, they just met each other not long ago.So he changed what he wanted to say, "It's not that I hate it, it's just that I don't like it. After all, I don't need to wrong myself to eat food that I don't like."

"I don't like carrots either."

Mo Ci unpacked the last box of takeaway and put it on the table, then turned around and leaned against the table and smiled at him, "That's such a coincidence, we are so in tune with each other in terms of food and drink, we are born to be together."

Merovingian took the cutlery and plates and put them down, "I don't like potatoes yet."

"Well," Mo Ci shrugged, "We are different in this respect, I like potatoes." But he knows why Lance doesn't like potatoes, oh, yes, more precisely, he doesn't like them Mashed potatoes.After all, Yu Chu himself said that it was because mashed potatoes were the first dish when Cecilia was learning to cook, so he and Darcy had to eat it for several days, and there was no way to fall in love with this food again in the future.Dahl had better suits, though, and Cecilia never knew that.

"Is it still a match made in heaven?" Meroving asked him with a smile.

Mo Ci winked at him and sat down, "As long as you agree to my pursuit, you will be a natural couple immediately."

Meroving also smiled, and then sat down to eat.

After eating for a while, Mo Ci suddenly said, "Hey, Lance, have you seen my movie "Breaking Promise"?"

"I've seen it. On the night you invited me to participate in the movie, I watched all of your previous movies, including "Life" that you wrote as a screenwriter."

Another lie.

Mo Ci thought, he had watched his movie a long time ago, otherwise he would not like him and wanted him to be a part of his artwork.

If these things were true, Mo Ci, almost three years ago, would probably be furious if he knew about them. After all, the "sincerity" that Meroving used to impress him was actually sweet words to deceive people.

But now is not him three years ago, it is him now.

Thinking of this, he originally felt happy, but suddenly a hidden crisis emerged.It's just that at this time, he hasn't realized what the crisis is.

He waved away those thoughts, and said what he was going to say, "Actually, there are quite a lot of such infinitely looping movies, but whether it is those or myself, I have thought about a question when I wrote "Break Promise"-how do you know , you are reborn, instead of the hallucinations produced by your brain when you were dying, making you think you were reborn?"

Meroving thought for a moment and gave his own answer. "It's actually impossible to get an answer to this question, unless you wake up."

Mo Ci laughed, "If you don't wake up, maybe you can find the answer to the question." And, he has already found it.

"Experience and feelings are not necessarily reliable, and this problem is a bit like Descartes said that all shapes may be things in dreams, but everything in dreams is unreliable."

"Well, almost, let's take an allusion from our country, Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, did Zhuang Zhou dream that he became a butterfly, or did the butterfly dream that he became Zhuang Zhou?"

He actually knew the allusion of "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of a Butterfly", so although Mo Ci's words were sloppy, he still understood the meaning. "It's quite interesting, so your allusion also shows that there are actually some things that cannot be verified and cannot be solved, right?"

Mo Ci put down his fork, "Then what happens? What if it is verified and solved, what should we do next? Next, how can we feel at ease?"

Mo Ci's expression and tone were a little serious, and Meroving thought it was probably because it was related to his movies, and he was always serious about movies.He himself was infected by this seriousness, and it no longer seemed like a chat at a meal. "It's hard for people to feel at ease, Mo Ci, so wouldn't it be a good thing to make yourself more at ease?"

"Deceive yourself?" Mo Ci raised his voice at the end.

"If you can deceive yourself, it's fine." He really thinks that's fine, as long as it can be done.

"But, what if you already know? If you already know, you must be rational, you should be sober, and you can't cheat."

He is indeed too serious, maybe he has to re-evaluate Mo Ci's attitude towards the film, and add some weight to it.

"If this is the case, you will either expose this deception to achieve self-realization, or you will fall into the difficulty of self-cognition. This is the benefit of being rational and clear, and it is also the price." Meroving added here, "It's just a choice. "

"Yes, this is both a benefit and a price." Mo Ci repeated this sentence, "This is the result of choice."

That night Mo Ci and Meroving watched a movie together in the private screening hall of his villa.

"What are you watching? I have some French movies here."

He originally wanted to pick a Huaguo movie, but after thinking about it, he changed it. At least in this way, Meroving didn't have to pretend that he didn't know Chinese at all to watch English subtitles.

Look, he is really considerate.

Mo Ci read out their names while watching, "How about "Love in Prague", "Long Engagement", "Subway", very old movies? Or "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg", "The Belliers" or "Amelie"?"

"Why are they all romantic movies?"

"Isn't this normal? Dear Lance, wouldn't it be too wasteful to watch suspenseful reasoning with you?"

Mo Ci continued to look back, and didn't care if he didn't get a response from Meroving.

"Well, since you don't make the decision yourself, then I'll make the decision for you?" Mo Ci pulled out one of them and shook it at Meroving, "How about this one? "Two Little Myself", directed by Yang Samuel Yeah, stories that have nothing to do with us. No one knows how much I want to see you as a teenager."

"can."

Mo Ci put the disc away, and then continued the topic just now, "Do you know why? Why do I want to see you as a teenager?"

"why?"

Mo Ci shrugged, bent down when he walked over, rubbed his finger on Meroving's shirt collar, and finally landed on the side of Meroving's neck, only paused for a moment before withdrawing his finger. "Well, little Lance should be easier to deceive than now, maybe he will fall in love with me at first sight."

Merovingian looked at him with blue eyes. "I think, if, he would."

Mo Ci was very satisfied with the answer, so he continued to ask, "What about Lance now?"

Lance spread his hands, smiled, and didn't speak.

"Okay," Mo Ci tapped his finger on his shoulder, "then please ask little Lance to convince this stubborn and awkward self to be more honest, after all, you should have fallen in love with me at first sight."

For a moment, Meroving wanted to tell Mo Ci his true inner thoughts, but the movie started before that.

The lights go off and the screen comes on.

"Two Little No Guess" definitely has a place in romance films. Mo Ci used to watch this kind of film mostly thinking about the use of shooting techniques, colors and lines. After all, in his opinion, the matter of love itself is a chaotic internal logic, and there is no need to discuss and understand it. , not to mention that at that time he did not accept that love is a real term rather than a proper term that has been "made".

But now Mo Ci can roughly understand these internal logics. After all, he himself is in love with others, and he has also completed the script of "Light Source" in a real sense.

He empathizes, so he can understand these emotional lines and no longer opposes the existence of love.

After the movie ended, Mo Ci said when the names of the participants were scrolled on it, "Let's play that game too, Lance."

It is the game that runs through the whole movie, starting from the boy Julien and the girl Sophie, to many years later.

When one person asks another person "Dare you dare", the other person must say "Dare", this is the rule of the game.

"it is good."

"I'll come first," Mo Ci said, "Can you tell me what you are worried about?"

"That's not like you, Lance."

Merovingian asked him, "How do you feel like me?"

"Tell me your concerns, let me solve it with you, and then we'll be together, Lance, isn't that right?" Mo Ci put his hands on his shoulders, "You need mine, your heart tells me Yes, you need mine."

"Don't be like this movie, they dare to do anything, swear, interfere with the class, hurt each other, but it takes a long time before they dare to admit that they love each other. We don't need to waste our time like that, right? That's no good?"

"Mo Ci," Meroving said, his voice was deep and gentle, with some helplessness for no apparent reason. "How did you know we were in love?"

Mo Ci was stunned for a moment, he vaguely felt that Meroving had something else to say, but with all due respect, he really didn't understand what there was to point to.

So he just stared at him at the moment. "fact."

"The facts tell me that we must love each other."

Even if there are misunderstandings, estrangement, separation, and others, we are destined to love each other, and we are destined to be together.

I've verified this thing - it's "out there".
