Ancient Witch God

"Do you know when this feeling started to change?" Chen Liangqiu suddenly turned to look at Wu Mu.

Wu Mu's bright black eyes were staring at him calmly, without any emotion or sympathy, but it was this detachment that made Chen Liangqiu, who was a little agitated, suddenly calm down.

He seemed to be stuck in a long memory again.

"At that time, I had not yet graduated, and I had just finished making "Happy Men and Women". This film was just a practice for me, and I was not particularly satisfied, but my father said that he would help contact the theater, and I did not object. In the final analysis, I It was also very conceited. At that time, in my opinion, even if it was a work of practice, it would not be too bad.

"In fact, this work has indeed attracted much attention. Although there are praises and criticisms for this film, generally speaking, the media and audiences still praise it, and I have officially entered the public since then. in sight.

"Thinking about it now, if the steps were smaller back then, maybe there wouldn't be as many things as now.

"After "Happy Men and Women", I have also made a lot of works, some successful and some failed. Perhaps, for anyone who embarks on the road of director, this is a normal phenomenon, but for me , this is a sign of failure." Chen Liangqiu spoke in a particularly lonely manner, and those words of accusation seemed to be in his ears.

You are Chen Jie's son, how can you shoot something like this?

Your father is such an excellent person, self-taught, everything is created by himself, you obviously have such a high starting point, what a waste of such a good condition.

You're embarrassing your father, you know that?

Are you really his son?Why didn't you inherit his talent?

So far, I can't remember where I heard the noisy words, but the harm caused by the sharp blade of language is deeply in my heart.

He used to think that the reason why he failed to reach his father's height was because of his age and experience, but amidst more and more failures, his self-confidence, his pride, and his unyielding seemed to disappear bit by bit, leaving him behind. There is only a barren and empty inner world.

Why did I not only fail to surpass him, but even widened the gap with him?That's probably because I was born inferior to him.

In such self-questions and self-answers, his life has been denied. If there is anything left, I am afraid that there is only a little unwillingness.

As for the original, he has been unable to find the most original and purest love for movies for a long time.

"Do you know what the media will say about me when I make a not-so-successful film?" Chen Liangqiu smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "I have no talent, I failed my father's expectations, and wasted high-quality film resources. , father and son..."

After listening for a while, he said again: "But, do you know how they introduced me no matter when and where? Chen Jie's son, Director Chen's son, Mr. Chen's son... But, they can't remember Remember, where is my name? Do they really know that my name is Chen Liangqiu?"

Chen Liangqiu's voice was full of deep crying, Wu Mu knew that he was not crying, but the pain and depression made his voice too sad, as if he was about to cry.

"I know, I know your name is Chen Liangqiu." Wu Mu's voice was not loud, but there was a sense of earnestness, as if a child promised another child that "you are my best friend".

Wu Mu's words were so sincere that Chen Liangqiu, who was immersed in his own world, couldn't help but look up at him.

"I know your name is Chen Liangqiu. Everyone on the set knows your name. There are even many strangers who know your name. With your success, more people will know your name in the future. But even so, you It is also impossible to expect everyone to know you, to know you, in this world, there will always be people who don't know you."

Chen Liangqiu admitted that what Wu Mu said was very reasonable, but what he really cared about was not these things, or in other words, it was not these things that really hit him.

"I didn't think about letting everyone know me, I just hope that everyone can look at my work with a fairer perspective, why I am Chen Jie's son, I must be as good as him, why am I the son of a great director Son, you won't even give me a little time to grow up?" Chen Liangqiu couldn't help but raise his voice, his anger wasn't aimed at Wu Mu, but just vented out through these words inadvertently.

Ji Muhui came to the set just at this time, and when he heard Chen Liangqiu yelling at his family, Mu Mu felt annoyed.

Just when he was about to step forward to find Wu Mu back, Wu Mu's calm voice sounded again.

"Because you've got enough. The world can be unfair sometimes, but sometimes it's horribly fair. You got talent from your father, you got money, you got everything that many people have. No, even unimaginable, why can you take it for granted that there is no price to pay?" Wu Mu's indifferent voice revealed the cruel reality, "Don't you think your thoughts are a little naive?"

Chen Liangqiu retorted: "These are not what I hope for. If I could, I would rather start from scratch like my father and rely on my own efforts to become an excellent director, instead of being said to be relying on what I do now." The shadow of the fathers."

Wu Mu replied unceremoniously: "Yes, of course you think so now, if you go back to the past, would you still think so? When you have nothing, would you really still think so?"

"Of course!" Chen Liangqiu replied affirmatively, "It's just that I can't go back now, otherwise, I will definitely abandon everything and only rely on my own efforts!"

Wu Mu smiled, but the smile was full of sarcasm: "Who says you can't go back, as long as you put everything aside, you can now realize your wish to start from scratch!"

Chen Liangqiu showed a startled expression, and said, "How, how is it possible."

Ji Muhui had already seen something from the sidelines, there seemed to be some kind of conflict between the two of them that wasn't what he thought, and Wu Mu didn't seem to have any aversion to Chen Liangqiu.

"Why is it impossible?" Wu Mu said with a light smile, "Nothing is impossible, as long as you want to, you can leave everything behind and start over now. To make a movie, as long as you are willing to put aside the money brought by your father's name Paying attention, willing to give up the convenience brought by his connections, willing to give up the sponsorship brought by his reputation, and starting from scratch with a little-known little director, is simply a simple matter."

There was mockery in Wu Mu's words, but it didn't sound malicious.

"Or, you really can't let go of these at all, and wanting to start over is just lip service?"

Wu Mu's rhetorical question made it difficult for Chen Liangqiu to deal with it. After thinking about it, he replied with some difficulty: "But I'm almost 30 years old now, not in my early twenties."

Wu Mu shook his head and said, "It's never too late if you really want to change. Your fear and worry are just a sign of weakness. You don't know if you can achieve what you are now after you start over. , you are not sure whether your changed life will definitely be better than it is now. The reason why you mentioned 'when you were in your early twenties' is that you thought you had more courage at that time, but what about your courage? Where did you go?"

Chen Liangqiu is not a person who is stubborn and can't listen to other people's words. He knows that what Wu Mu said is the truth. His courage, his vitality, and his love for movies have all been lost by him. He didn't know that he was buried for a long time. In some unknown corner, I can't find it anymore.

Chen Liangqiu showed a wry smile, and admitted: "You are right, it is my weakness and inferiority that created the current situation, I dare not give up everything now, because I am afraid that if I start again, I will not even be able to achieve the current achievements, Because my love for movies is gone, I don't love movies a long time ago."

Chen Liangqiu showed an expression as if he was about to cry. He was a little thin and thin, but with this expression, he gave birth to a unique and somewhat weak beauty.

But if you think that Chen Liangqiu, who has shown his vulnerable side, is an out-and-out weak person, then you are completely wrong. He is just mourning his lost love for movies because Wu Mu's words hurt his heart. .

Speaking of it, Chen Liangqiu really likes movies, because of his father, he was exposed to movies very early.While others are still playing with model toys, he can already touch the real camera.While others were still playing with friends of the same age, he had already started helping in the studio.

Like all children with family background, Chen Liangqiu is not only interested in movies, but also sincerely loves them. What he shows is not only good at it, but also a kind of talent with awe-inspiring ease.

Can a person who loves movies so much and is so talented really give up his love for movies easily?

Seeing that he was still immersed in pain, Wu Mu couldn't help being a little speechless for Chen Liangqiu, who didn't realize it.

It's like a person who clearly loves another person to death, but insists that he doesn't like the other person. This situation makes people feel sad and laughs at the same time.

"If you don't like movies, why continue to shoot? You can find an industry you like and start from scratch. In this way, you can not only stay away from these criticisms, but also don't have to continue to bear the pressure of public opinion. Isn't it the best of both worlds? "

Chen Liangqiu couldn't refute Wu Mu's words. All along, he thought that he didn't like movies anymore, isn't that true?

"Is the opinion of the outside world really that important?"

Wu Mu's words were like a heavy blow, knocking into Chen Liangqiu's heart.

Does the outside world's opinion not matter?

If it is not important, why should everyone care about other people's opinions, other people's eyes?
