Since Sika got the contract back in the morning, until the evening, Wang Zi'an has not received any feedback.

But he knew that Sika must be sad.

Very late, I fell asleep in a daze, but not long after, Wang Zi'an woke up.

I dreamed that you were crying, and I was sad in my heart, so I woke up.

Turning on the bedside lamp, sitting up, and pulling open the drawer, he pulled out a lighter and a box of cigarettes.

Once upon a time, he hated people who smoked.

But now, he's become the one he hates.

Although he doesn't smoke often, he can smoke a box of cigarettes in ten and a half days.

At a certain age, I am gradually losing what I once gained, and I am at a loss.

Especially the people who got more in the past.

Some time ago, he went to a funeral in Guangdong Province.

Two of the old guys who are committed to recreating the glory of the Cantonese music scene have passed away one after another.

I remember that when one of them was seriously ill, Wang Zi'an went to visit.

The other party is still obsessed and wants the prince to do his part.

Wang Zi'an didn't agree, he said, let it go, we like to live in the countryside with mottled wooden doors, old houses with walls depicting traces of time, and listening to the sounds and songs of that era.

But nowadays people are different, they like to live in new and bright city mansions, and they don't experience the fun of catching loaches in the mud on the edge of the field full of loaches.

So, a few days later, the old man passed away peacefully.

The rest of the old men are no longer obsessed, and they enjoy their old age without a few years.

Tonight, Sika didn't sleep all night, crying and his eyes red.

Her agent is also there.

In front of the two of them was the contract given by Firefly City.

This contract is actually the same as the previous one, and even more demanding.

In the previous contract, it was stated that the artist's stage name belonged to the company.

Not only "Girls' Generation" is from Firefly City, but even stage names like "Zheng Xiuyan" and "Jessica" are also from Firefly City, permanent, and have no years.

Even, the copyright of Sika's single belongs to her stage name.

Once she leaves Firefly City, the songs are no longer hers.

Not to mention taking away the stage name.

As a result, after leaving Firefly City, Sika must regain her stage name and no longer be able to use her past songs for commercial purposes.

In today's entertainment industry, such a contract is normal for newcomers, and every brokerage company is like this.

But basically after the expiration of the first contract, as long as it is not a group, the artist can take the stage name and previous works for free.

"Why is the owner so excessive?" the agent asked Sika in confusion.

Sika didn't know either.

This contract is not a contract at all, but it is driving her away.

With her current fame, the loss of walking is not unacceptable.

It's just disgusting to change your stage name.

Looking back on the good past, Sika felt very cruel, sure enough, the past was fake, and memories are a road with no end.

My cousin said that one day he would become the one he hated too.

He's really changed.

The other sisters, Sika knew a few days ago that they had re-signed their contracts.

What their contract is, Sika doesn't know.

But she's sure it's not the same as herself.

They are no longer newcomers, they are popular artists.

Popular artists have the dignity of popular artists and the capital to bargain with the owner.

But this contract in front of him made Sika very uncomfortable.

Especially after the agent's addition, she felt that she was the owner and a person that her cousin hated very much, and she didn't treat her as a human being at all.

Everyone has the stubbornness to kill.

"I don't know, my cousin and I had a great time this morning. "Sika was sad, as if the picture was all fake, how could this be between people?

Although this is an unacceptable contract, and there is no need to negotiate and bargain, the old contract still has a year to expire, and the two parties seem to have put it aside and live day after day as if it had never happened.

At this time, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" was released.

This movie can be summed up with three key points:

1, Marvel finally has a director who takes "sacrifice" so seriously.

2. A complete elaboration of a family story that can extract the core.

3. The chemistry between teammates did not stop at slogans.

What are audiences expecting when they click on a Marvel movie from Firefly City online before they enter the theater?

Colorful sets and uniforms, gag lines, jokes as selling points, and other elements from the perspective of "popcorn" and "business".

After watching this "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", many viewers suddenly realized that the most criticized Marvel style may be those "sacrifices" that have never been taken seriously.

If you carefully recall Marvel's works in recent years, it seems that I have never seen Marvel's works seriously interpret the greatness of "sacrifice", no, it should be said that the most important thing is how the living inherit the will of the deceased.

The Ancient One in "Doctor Strange" said, "I foresaw my death".

Peggy's funeral in "American Team 3".

The former wasp in "Ant-Man", the sacrifice of the wife of a generation of Ant-Man.

In "Avengers 2", Quicksilver blocked the bullet.

The death and funeral of Fliga in Thor 2.

None of these people are the main characters, so it doesn't seem like there's any need to play up their deaths.

Marvel is originally that giggling, and highlighting the heaviness of death is obviously not their style.

The death of the Ancient One mage immediately lifted the Doctor up to become a master and save the world.

Peggy's funeral doesn't seem to have anything to do with anyone.

Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch are the only two people affected by Quicksilver's death.

The boat containing Fliga's body was ignited and gradually turned into a light in the galaxy, and the next second, no one's sadness was written on their faces, and the scene suddenly shifted to the doctor who was detained in the senior center.

Thor can also continue his journey after crying about his brother's sacrifice, and suddenly look as if the death of a loved one had never happened.

In this comparison, "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" can be said to be the conscience of Marvel in interpretation.

Whether it is the sentence "we're groot" when Groot died in "Silver Guard 1", or the grief of watching Groot really turn into a broken branch after the crash, it is a good rendering.

This time, Yongdu's sacrifice was the same.

When he decided to stay, taking over the jetpack and spacesuit from Rocket, he was ready to be a "father".

When he finally chose to sacrifice himself, the audience and Star-Lord can be said to empathize.

Finally, accompanied by the song of Father and Son, everyone sadly gathered around his body to say their final goodbyes, watching his body turn into brilliant smoke and dust and dissipate into the universe, and the audience empathized to tears.

But that's not all, most of the meaning of "sacrifice" lies in the living, so when he saw Yongdu's former friends in the universe rushing to see him off, the deputy took the arrow that was once broken and called Star-Lord the captain, Gamorrah hugged Nebula's late sister, and the audience knew that this was the revelation that "sacrifice" brought to the living, which is the great meaning of "sacrifice".

"Death" is undoubtedly sad, but it is precisely because of this that the living must live a happier and more brilliant life so that they will not live up to "death".

Most of the time, Marvel is synonymous with "popcorn" and "commercial", and it seems difficult for a work to summarize the core plot beyond these "elements".

The Marvel series, which takes "entertainment" as the core, although the previous "Iron Man" series, "Thor" series and even "Ant-Man" all involve "family affection", but after all, it is just some condiments used to complete the final story of the protagonist saving the world.

Regardless of whether the impact of those family ties is good or bad, the final focus is only on whether the protagonist succeeds in saving the world.

"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" has experienced a beginning-inheritance-turn-combination, and the final foothold is not placed on the protagonists saving the world again, but on the impact of the sacrifice of a supporting role, which is an outlier of Marvel.

Yongdu's sacrifice has another meaning, so it also raises the height of the whole story again: blood does not define family affection, and family affection can also come from long-term companionship.
