thousand cups

In order to prepare a portfolio for going abroad, Jiang Mo has been busy after graduation, borrowing machines, looking for staff, looking for venues, making props by himself, busy shooting, and living a very fulfilling life.

The first film in his life was a silent film of more than 20 minutes.The shooting process was very happy, and it went smoothly beyond imagination.Jiang Mo has a vague feeling that he is very suitable for this job, and this job is his destiny.

From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Mo has a strong curiosity about many things, not limited to a certain field, and the things he likes are also quite diverse. Some are accepted by him on his own initiative, and some are arranged by fate.

It’s like when I was a child, I first received artistic influence because of Ms. Mei Qing, his mother who was acting in a drama.When he was in elementary school, his father often traveled on business. Mei Qing had irregular rehearsal time, and sometimes she didn’t have time to pick him up from school. Fortunately, Jiang Mo was very good at taking care of himself. After class, he went to the theater by himself to wait for his mother to get off work, while watching them Rehearse while doing your homework.When other children were running wildly outside to release their energy, he huddled on the edge of the stage, solving math problems while watching his mother rehearse "Thunderstorm", "Thunderstorm", "A Dead Man vs. the Living One" on stage. "Interview", she was often beaten by Ms. Mei Qing because she was too obsessed with watching their rehearsal and couldn't finish her homework.

Children at that age couldn't understand dramas, but the young Jiang Mo was attracted by the stage itself. It was a very pure attraction. He watched it ignorantly, and remembered some things ignorantly. Those things become a seed and are buried in the heart.

Later, Jiang Mo liked many things.When I was in junior high school, I met Su Ya, that is, Sophia. They took art training classes together and learned to draw.In fact, Jiang Mo thought that he was better at drawing than Sophia, anyway the teacher said so, but he did not insist on drawing, because he became interested in piano and violin again, and plunged into the ocean of classical music.

After practicing piano for less than two years, he told his parents that he would not learn anymore. He had a new hobby, so he turned around and became obsessed with writing. After finishing writing, he forced his friends to read it.My friend read his novels and poems for no apparent reason, and said they were good. Jiang Mo’s courage increased greatly, and he sent his writings to magazines, and voted indiscriminately. Unexpectedly, there was a response, and a youth magazine hired him. For a short story, Jiang Mo received his first draft fee in his life, which was not much, 800 yuan, but he was still very happy at the time. He used the money to buy a pair of leather gloves for Ms. Mei Qing.Just when everyone thought that he would embark on the road of literary creation, everyone found that he stopped writing, and he began to have a strong interest in raising ants...

Others often laugh at him, saying Jiang Mo, you are too hot for 3 minutes, fickle, not qualitative, and drifting.He didn't make a sound on his face, but replied in his heart, you know what a fart.How will you know which path is right for you if you don’t try it?He is just trying his own life.

His teenage goal was to find something that he could devote his life to and stick to it.

After looking for and trying for many years, it can be said that he is still talented in everything, but he can't learn everything well.

Literature, poetry, music, and painting are all interesting and full of unique charms, which are worth spending time and energy on studying... However, Jiang Mo greedily thought, is there an art that he has learned before? Use everything?

Have it?

He finally determined that it was a movie.

There are many people who study film, but few people who really know how to make films. This is Jiang Mo's personal experience after hanging out with those friends for several years.When many people sit down to chat with you, they speak clearly and logically, saying New Wave on the left and Left Bank on the right, and they drive trolleybuses as long as they talk about movies, but when they arrive on the set, they become dumb, and they can’t even explain the scenes clearly.In fact, what the director has to do is more on-the-spot work, and it is useless to talk about theory.

Jiang Mo followed Tang Li in the Drama Academy for four years, observed and studied secretly, and gradually realized that what he learned in school was not enough, and it was another matter to really get started with filming. He needed to deal with more things and people. To deal with machines, deal with many accidents... Of course, dealing with people is the core.

Jiang Mo doesn't reject dealing with people at all, he likes to make friends, not with purposeful contacts, just because he is curious about the stories of everyone.

Jiang Mo has a strange confidence in making friends. As long as he drinks three times together, he will definitely become a good brother with the other party. There is no special skill, it's just a heart-to-heart exchange.

Over the years, he has met many friends because of drinking, men and women from all walks of life, they have different lives and different encounters.

There are many people drinking with him, but there is one person who is special, and that person will come to pick him up and go home.

He even forgot how it started... It seems that Shen Chaowen just called when he was drunk and asked him to come over to play?Can not remember.Anyway, as long as he was drunk later, Shen Chaowen would always show up.This person will come even at three or four in the morning, rain or shine.Every time the table breaks up, Jiang Mo can always see a silent person waiting for him.

The phenomenon of "brother coming to pick him up" has been called a miracle by Jiang Mo's friends for a long time. When others get drunk, they vomit back by leaning on the wall, but he is the only one who picks them up.

Later, not only Jiang Mo got used to it, but even Jiang Mo's friends got used to it. As long as he was drunk, he could just call his younger brother, who was reliable.

In fact, Jiang Mo knows that Shen Chaowen is very busy at school. This person has an ice-faced face, but he is completely like an idol in school. He is busy studying, playing games, and being a master in school, becoming an excellent talent .

Jiang Mo also found out later that Shen Chaowen is very interested in all competitions. He likes to win, likes to take the first place. He is very active in all competitions, big and small. He can go directly to the finals in a college debate competition. It is hard to compare the school that has won the championship all year round.

What's outrageous is that Shen Chaowen never took the initiative to bring up such things in front of him, and Jiang Mo always learned about it through "hearing".Sophia said, I heard that a company wants to sign your brother as a model, which is great.Tang Li said, I heard that your brother is going to compete in a business competition, which is amazing.I heard, I heard, why didn't I listen to Shen Chaowen?Don't they know the same person?It’s okay not to say anything, Jiang Mo didn’t bother to ask, but he was very puzzled in his heart, how could Shen Chaowen come to pick him up during the school’s busy schedule?Isn't he busy being a man of the hour in school?It seems that there are still not enough homework for college students.

Jiang Mo also thought about why Shen Chaowen was so obsessed with picking him up when he was drunk, and after much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out.Later, I didn't bother to think about it anymore, and comforted myself very much, that is my younger brother, why should I be polite to my younger brother?Anyway, we have been getting along like this all the time, and there have been no problems.

He could feel that Shen Chaowen was following a standard elite route, busy competing and winning every day, and being No.1.And his own life is at two poles with Shen Chaowen, he doesn't care about winning or losing, he just wants to be happy.

It seems that the life of Nanyuanbei withdraws, but their relationship has always been very good. As long as he was drunk when he was in Shanghai, Shen Chaowen would come over immediately without saying a word.

If there is anything at home, he will come to help as soon as possible.In the eyes of Jiang Mo's family, this is a hardworking and sensible child.A tall, thin, handsome boy from the north who is quick to handle affairs is very pleasing to the eye. Jiang Mo's parents treat him very much and let him live at home whenever he rests.Shen Chaowen will help Jiang Mo's family bring something home for the elderly during the New Year's festival, and Mei Qing will also remember to bring a copy for Shen Chaowen's grandma...

After going back and forth like this for a year or two, Shen Chaowen gradually became a very important non-staff member of Jiang Mo's family.Ms. Mei Qing was more straightforward, directly asking Shen Chaowen to recognize herself as a godmother.

Mixing and mixing, drunk and dreaming, time just slipped by like this.After all the tedious procedures are completed, Jiang Mo will go abroad to continue his studies in the near future.

One month before going to France, Jiang Mo drank unconsciously almost every day, and his friends practiced it for him for a whole month.The night before leaving Shanghai, it was still his favorite wine club, but this time he only invited a few close friends to drink in Sophia's shop. The farewell game, a small gathering, four bottles of whiskey, Jiang Mo alone Finished most of the bottle, drink it straight, he hates adding ice.

While drinking and toasting happily, Shen Chaowen came in with a bag.

He went straight to Jiang Mo, and naturally took out a bottle of Nutrition Express from his bag and put it in front of Jiang Mo. Without saying a word or greeting anyone, he turned around and went to the bar to sit down.

If Jiang Mo hadn't had a drink when he came, he would find a corner to sit down and do his own thing, etc.

Although he acted like he was being dragged to death, everyone here today is someone Jiang Mo is very familiar with. They know that Shen Chaowen has this kind of style.

Jiang Mo unscrewed the drink, took a sip, and continued to pour himself the drink, thinking about whether to drink whiskey and Nutrition Express together...

Tang Li looked at Shen Chaowen's back strangely, feeling something was wrong, and asked, "Is your brother a little unhappy? When I came to pick you up these two days, I always felt that he was angry."

angry?

How did you see the angry expression on that paralyzed face?

Holding the wine glass, Jiang Mo asked in bewilderment, "Huh?"
