Chapter 1 The Man Who Lost His Dream (Fourth Update!Monthly Pass Plus Update!Ask for a Monthly Pass!)

The news of "Honghu Huayuan Center officially cooperated with Tengda Real Estate to start the project reconstruction" was broadcast in the Red Lake News.

The once unfinished building was full of joy, with colorful lights, and everyone had excited smiles on their faces.

In fact, the local news hoped that Shen Lang would show his face in front of the TV, but they did not contact Shen Lang in the end.

Shen Lang's phone has always been turned off, and Yang Rong's call was still through Shen Lang's landline.

When Yang Rong finished calling, Shen Lang's landline was also dismantled.

"We" recruits "have always been serious about making movies, and at the same time, we don't advertise ourselves as charity, we just cooperate ......"

Xiao Chu replaced Shen Lang to speak in front of the TV.

Xiao Chu's words won a round of applause, and then, Xiao Chu helped cut the ribbon of the project very seriously......

On the way back, Xiao Chu shook his head again after listening to the busy sound from his mobile phone.

Mr. Shen ...... What the hell are you going to do?"

"I don't know...... Maybe I'm looking for materials. ”

"Why are you looking for materials at this time, now is the time for Mr. Shen to become a god, he has gained fame and fortune, and the promotion of our company is also very good...... Look at the Internet, Mr. Shen is now a well-deserved outstanding young man in China......"

"Does Director Shen need these?"

"Huh?"

Zhou Fu, who was sitting next to Xiao Chu, shook his head and looked out of the car window with a deep expression.

And Xiao Chu somehow seemed to understand for a while......

"If Director Shen cared about reputation, he wouldn't have been scolded like this before...... and he was like a nobody," Zhou Fu added, "These things, maybe in Director Shen's opinion, are things that are easy to get, he can get them at his fingertips, and he can put them aside casually...... Well, at least that's what I think. ”

"Uncle Zhou, what is Mr. Shen going to do? Since I finished cutting "Human Removal Plan", I think Mr. Shen is a little strange......

"Strange?"

"Hmm...... There was a kind of deep thought in his eyes, as if he was reflecting on something.

"Why do you ask so much, do the work he gave you, right...... Director Zhang Song, "Who Killed Whom" is the last villain I picked up in the movie...... If you ask me to play a villain in the market, I really won't play it, you can help me push off ......"

"Well, Uncle Zhou, I understand? But? What if the salary is more than 20 million?"

“......”

There was a sudden silence in the car.

..........................................

After Shen Lang read the news of the unfinished building, he also nodded.

Their happiness is also a kind of happiness.

Is this happiness a problem that has plagued many years has been solved? They are able to have the warmth of a new home.

It's still quite infectious.

But? Shen Lang frowned.

A home they've been dreaming of for a long time, and it's already been built? What about me?

Sometimes, Shen Lang didn't know what he was going to do.

Roughly? After Shen Lang came to this world? saw the messy course and had a headache, and then felt that the entertainment industry was so difficult to mix, there was no need to mix in the entertainment industry, and even felt that it was okay to graduate or not? So I chose to play games all night in an Internet café every day......

Then graduation season arrived.

A lot of people go their separate ways? Shen Lang felt that he probably went back to his hometown and then did his old job.

However, sometimes fate is just that strange.

Shen Lang entered the entertainment industry......

Then, I met a lot of people.

At first, when you were groping, you always wanted to make money? All kinds of channels, all the money that can be made is earned......

Ever thought to make a lot of money? Then you can be very happy without worrying about food and clothing? That's how successful life is......

I even think it's a dream.

But......

Now that I think about it, I suddenly feel like I'm an ordinary worker? Are you still worry-free?

For fame?

The so-called? The first young director? A new director in China, an outstanding young man in China?

Shen Lang didn't seem to be interested in this thing.

Exposed to the shining lights, Shen Lang not only felt like a fish in water, but also had an indescribable sense of loneliness.

Everyone thinks that Shen Lang is awesome now, everyone thinks that Shen Lang should be the happiest at this moment, even Shen Lang's parents feel that their son should be happy, it's okay, don't think about it in your head, and the money you earn can't be spent for the rest of your life......

So......

Can people be happy when they make money?

The happiness of rich people is something you can't imagine at all......

Shen Lang can often hear this sentence.

Driving luxury cars, picking up beautiful women, wearing famous watches, all kinds of pretending?

In fact......

The more he knew the essence of something, the more Shen Lang had a boring feeling.

This feeling, after Shen Lang finished writing the script of "Human Removal Plan", Shen Lang suddenly felt a little in a trance.

Luxury cars, luxury watches, luxury ......

Behind all this is marketing and hype, and even, Shen Lang had a strange idea, if he wanted, he could even create some so-called luxury himself, well, as long as he was given enough time......

Because of this, Shen Lang was quite embarrassed.

Shen Lang's net worth is over 100 million, but at this moment, the clothes on his whole body add up, less than three hundred, and his mobile phone is also ordinary, the mobile phone he used in college, and even, Shen Lang does not have a car, except for his family's house, Shen Lang does not even have a house in his name......

Some people, once they succeed, become nouveau riche, trying all kinds of things that didn't exist......

And Shen Lang ......

But I fell into a feeling that I saw things too clearly, too clearly, and was a little dazed and uncomfortable.

"Are you okay, let's stop making movies, and our company doesn't want to, Ah Lang, Mom and Dad just want you to be happy, do whatever you want......

"...... right"

May 5th.

Shen Lang walked downstairs.

The parents looked at Shen Lang's calm appearance, hesitated for a long time, and finally said such a sentence.

Shen Lang smiled after hearing this.

"I suddenly wanted to make a literary film that didn't make money......"

"Huh?"

Looking at Shen Lang's smile, Shen Lang's parents were also a little stunned, and then looked down at the book in Shen Lang's hand and the burden on his back.

"Ah Lang, you are ......"

"Go to the Sandalwood Temple, and after reading it, maybe stay for a few days, maybe go to other places......"

"You won't ......"

"Mom, don't worry, I won't be a monk, find some material for the movie, after filming this science fiction movie, I will empty all my brains......"

"Oh, that's good, that's good...... By the way, Ah Lang, would you like to bring a girlfriend over? You're so old now, and the kids next door are all three years old......."

"Okay, let's go......"

Shen Lang put on a hat and mask and left the house through the back door.

There are always a few reporters guarding the front door occasionally, and Shen Lang used to be happy to blow a few words in front of them, but now, Shen Lang is not very interested......

In fact, the whole town has changed a lot right now.

A year ago and a year later, it was really different.

The road, which used to be muddy and potholes, is now paved with cement and smooth.

The nursing home not far away has also been renovated at this moment, the elderly in the nursing home can also get extra meals every day, and all kinds of sports equipment are also available, and some new houses have been built in remote schools......

These were all paid for by Shen Lang, and then Shen Lang's parents helped to do it......

Shen Lang's parents are very good, they are not like other parents, when there is a big person in the family, they will look at people with all kinds of swelling and nostrils......

They are also simple and diligent in their daily work, which is no different from before.

After looking at some farmers working in the fields in the distance, Shen Lang subconsciously glanced at the smiles of these farmers.

The smile is happy.

Shen Lang could even think that after they were busy, they would set up a small table in the evening, and then call a few close friends, and then have a drink, brag, and recall how they were when they were teenagers by the way, or stay at home and watch TV, sing and sing, and live indescribably comfortable, it seems that this is also a sense of satisfaction.

..............................

Sandalwood Temple.

The temple bells rang.

In the evening, Shen Lang came to the temple.

Shen Lang stopped for a moment, and suddenly felt some indescribable disappointment.

When I was a child, the temple was very solemn, and at this moment the commercialization was very serious, and there were vendors selling gourds and fortune tellers cheating money everywhere, and then walked into the edge of the temple, Shen Lang saw several little monks playing with their mobile phones and swiping small videos......

After hesitating for a while, Shen Lang finally chose to go in.

"Donor, you are ......"

"I want to find Master Changyuan for tea......"

"Donor, Master Changyuan is very busy now, and ......" The monk at the door glanced at the young man wearing a hat and mask, and subconsciously looked down at the suitcase in Shen Lang's hand.

"It's just chatting......"

"Donor, I'm sorry, Master Changyuan is very busy, have you greeted the host beforehand?"

"No ......"

"I'm sorry about that......"

"I'm Shen Lang......" Shen Lang raised his head.

"Huh?" The monk, who was originally a little estranged, was stunned when he saw Shen Lang, "You, you are Director Shen?"

"Yes......" Shen Lang smiled.

This one is very easy to do......

"Ah, then please come in..."

"I just want to talk to the host master about whether it will be delayed for too long......"

"Oooh oh. ”

"Good. ”

....................................

The registration word is very good to make......

Why?

In the past two years, Shen Lang's parents have donated a lot of money to the temple, and Shen Lang's name is on the newly repaired merit monument recently.

Shen Lang is naturally a distinguished guest, and he is currently one of the most powerful celebrities in Zhejiang Province, so these monks naturally dare not snub Shen Lang.

Not long after drinking a cup of tea in the living room, the host of Changyuan came.

"Director Shen, hello ......" After seeing Shen Lang, Master Changyuan showed a warm smile.

"Master Changyuan, I came here today to talk to you about life......

"Oh, Director Shen, what kind of life do you want to talk about?"

"Why do people live?"

"This concept is too big, if we talk about the Buddha, then we are probably purifying sentient beings, persuading people to be good, and there can be a good cause and effect in the next life......"

"Master Changyuan, do people have an afterlife?"

"Life is reincarnation, and reincarnation naturally has life and death......

"If you are obsessed with the afterlife, then is it desire?"

"It's not a desire, it's just a practice. ”

"What is the purpose of the practice?"

"For the sake of reason, knowledge and action, and enlightenment. ”

"Is the pursuit of this kind of thing a kind of desire? There is no sorrow and no joy...... Master Changyuan, I have always been unable to understand one thing, if people don't have any desires, shouldn't they live?

"It's natural to live, not ...... desire"

"If you are dying, but you want to live, isn't it?"

"Not counting......"

"Master Changyuan, what is the boundary, and what is happiness? If there is no desire and no desire, then is there no happiness? Then, if there is no happiness, then is it not unhappy, unhappy, then ...... What is the difference between people and wood? At the end of the practice, is that very high and profound level of cultivation the same as cultivating into wood? Why does that person live? You are talking about the purification of sentient beings, so what is the purpose of the purification of sentient beings?"

"......" Shen Lang asked a lot of messy questions at once, and Changyuan suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"I'm not feeling very happy right now, I'm at a loss, I feel like I can see through a lot of things, but I can't...... I felt like I needed a dream, and I kept talking to others about dreams, but when it came to myself, I suddenly didn't know what a dream was......"

"Director Shen, you are a little obsessed now, or I will give you a Buddhist scripture......

"Master Changyuan, I want to know, are you happy?"

"I'm happy......"

"Why are you happy?"

"No desire, no desire, watching the stars of the universe, listening to the sound of the Buddha, the heart is peaceful......"

"You're not happy, are you?"

"Director Shen, you ......" Changyuan was stunned.

"I don't think you're very happy, I even think you're tired, and then, a little impatient, maybe it's my delusion......"

"There are clouds in Buddhist scriptures, and one flower is a world...... You have to meditate, you are too impetuous now...... Now close your eyes and listen to the evening bell......"

"Master Changyuan, these are useless, I sometimes feel very lonely...... The more I meditated, the more lonely I felt, and I always felt that something was missing...... You say, how are we supposed to live when we come into this world?"

"Director Shen, you should have the answer in your heart......"

"I didn't...... Master, why are you alive, have you thought about it, what are you living for?"

"Worship the Buddha, go to Zen, but a person's life is so short, and then, you can never understand, and then you are gone, leaving no trace in this world, if there is no afterlife, then in this life, what have you done? Is this life really wasted? Pudu sentient beings...... If you've been in the temple and enjoying the incense, how can you do it?"

"When a person who believes in Buddhism comes, it is Pudu...... Seek a tranquility, a peace of mind......"

"It's a religious ......"

“......”

“......”

in the house.

It was getting dark.

When it was time for the evening, Shen Lang left the living room disappointed.

He didn't solve anything.

The presiding master, Master Changyuan, sat quietly on the chair and fell into deep thought.

He suddenly discovered......

In this life, it seems that it is really as Shen Lang said......

He originally felt that he had learned so many Buddhist teachings, that he had understood them thoroughly, and that he had gradually understood, but now......

Why?

Pudu sentient beings, stay in the temple to Pudu?

I don't know how long it took......

He sighed faintly......

"yes, what's the point?"

..............................

Shen Lang felt that he was indeed very impetuous.

Not calm......

He originally wanted to find the host to solve his doubts.

However, after chatting with the host for a while, he found that the host seemed to be confused by him.

He didn't even think Master Changyuan was happy......

Isn't he a high-ranking monk?

After leaving the Honoxiang Temple......

Shen Lang suddenly saw that the trash cans on the side of the street were constantly shaking......

He walked over.

Then, I saw a homeless man flipping through the buns and eating them.

It seems to be happy.

Shen Lang subconsciously bent down and looked at this homeless man blankly.

"Are you happy now? Can you tell me why you're happy?"

"You're insane! get out of the way......"

"Do you have a dream?"

“......”

"Do you feel lonely?"

"Phew!"

"Can you tell me about your story?"

"Damn, you're insane! If you come back again, I'll call the police......"

“......”
