"It's fine. The autumn wind was blinded. Yang Fei smiled slightly.

Chen Moyan smiled: "I'll just say, how can you shed tears when you are such a strong person?"

Yang Fei asked, "What are you doing?"

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

Yang Fei took a look at it in her hand and said, "The 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 masterpiece, but I threw it away after reading the beginning, and I always felt that I couldn't read it." Today, I suddenly saw it. ”

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

Chen Mo snorted: "Tell me about it, I don't understand." ”

Yang Fei said: "The 20s of this century is a short and special period in the history of the United States, known as the tumultuous era, which refers to the 10 years from 1919 after the end of World War I to 1929 before the collapse of the American economy. ”

Chen Mo said: "It turned out that it was about this time." That's equivalent to our Republic of China period. ”

Yang Fei said: "This era is very special. The United States is at the historical crossroads of the old and the new, and the vigorous development of capitalism has allowed the United States to rapidly move from an agricultural civilization to an industrialized modern society. The transportation, mining, and construction industries have expanded rapidly, the electrical appliances and automobile manufacturing industries have suddenly taken off, and automobiles, electrical equipment, household machinery, processed foods, and ready-made clothing have begun to enter people's homes, bringing unprecedented comfort to the lives of many Americans. Real estate trading and stock markets are particularly active, and some speculators have become nouveau riche overnight in this type of gambling industry. ”

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

Yang Fei said: "The amount of wealth has become the criterion for judging a person's success or not, and people have begun to blindly make money, make quick money, make more money, chase to become richer, become richer." At the same time, American hedonism, Spencer's theory of evolution, and James's philosophy of pragmatism were all popular in the United States, and the ideas of traditional Puritan morality and religious beliefs, such as diligence and frugality, were gradually replaced by consumer hedonism such as the pursuit of personal wealth and the enjoyment of material life. ”

Chen Mo said: "Really, I think what we live is the life of the twenties in the United States!"

Yang Fei said: "Gatsby lost his first love Daisy, he firmly believed that it was because he was not rich enough, so he decided to become a rich man, and a few years later, he got his wish." So, he wants to recover Daisy, who is married to a merchant woman. He presented himself as a handsome, authentic gentleman who sang every night in a luxurious villa. However, Daisy is no longer the Daisy she used to be. Once Daisy drove in a state of distraught and ran over her husband Tom's mistress. Gatsby takes on the responsibility of driving in order to protect Daisy, but Daisy has already made up his mind to abandon Gatsby. At Tom's instigation, his mistress's husband shot and killed Gatsby. Gatsby ended up being a complete victim. Gatsby didn't notice the mocking smile on Daisy's face until he died. ”

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

Yang Fei said: "Because Gatsby is a real person, an innocent person. He treats love sincerely and romantically, full of fantasy. For the sake of Snow White, he strives to create a palace of gold and lively parties, but he has no interest in all this pleasure and noise. With people, he is sincere, pure, and kind. He also lies, and he also uses improper means to make money, but his purpose is pure and good. It is precisely because he is mixed with the selfish and filthy crowd that Gatsby's innocence and romance seem incomparably noble and unworldly. ”

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

"Yes?" Yang Fei laughed, "Do you think I'm talking about myself?"

Chen Mo held the book in his arms and tilted his head to look at him: "You are even more amazing than him!"

Yang Fei touched his chin and thought, how can I compare with Gatsby?

If I were Gatsby, you'd be Daisy.

It's just that you're not married to a merchant woman.

Yang Fei's eyes suddenly became gentle when he looked at her.

Chen Mo felt his burning gaze, his face flushed, he stroked his hair a little restrainedly, and said with a smile: "Listening to your explanation, it will be easier for me to understand this famous book." ”

Yang Fei said: "You were right just now, the United States in the twenties is our present. ”

Chen Mo said: "Then in our era, will there be a lot of great Gatsby?"

Yang Fei said: "There must be." I just don't know if there are any great writers who have recorded the pulse of this era. Oops, I have to thank you. ”

Chen Mo asked puzzledly, "Thank me?"

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

Chen Mo smiled: "It's so famous, isn't there anyone who adapts 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: "I think, it's better to shoot your story! Your success story is more interesting to the audience!"

Yang Fei smiled and said, "I said seriously. Film, like words, is also a means of recording the times, and it is an artistic way to express the strongest voice of an era. The imagery expressed in Gatsby's story is similar to our modern society, and I think that if this story is made oriental, it will definitely resonate if it is filmed. ”

"Well, I don't understand movies, but I understand you, you say yes, that's definitely good. ”

Yang Fei looked at her innocent eyes and thought, do you really understand me?

"I shared a book with you, and you thought of a movie that made money. Chen Mo winked playfully and said with a smile, "Should you invite my guest?"

"yes, yes. What do you want to eat?"

"Don't eat. I want to watch a movie, can I?"

"Oh, you can. Yang Fei said, "When are you free?"

"Just tonight. ”

"I went to the cinema and saw what good movies there were. I'll buy the ticket first. ”

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

"Huh, what's the movie?"

"Sunny day. ”

"Starring Xia Yu and Tranquility, it's a classic!"

"Classic? You used the word wrong, right? This film was only released on September 1st! A new movie can't be called a classic, right?

Yang Fei smiled helplessly: "Okay, then look at the sunny day." ”

The movie shown by the school is a kind of welfare, two dollars a ticket.

Chen Mo happily stretched out his little finger, pursed his lips and said, "Don't regret it!

Yang Fei: "......"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
