Chapter 209: Speech

As the host Xiao Sa ascended to the stage with the circular bookshelf as the background, he began to introduce the guests of this issue.

"Before a miracle happens, most people think it is impossible, and our guest today is a miracle in itself.

He has many identities, each of them is very successful, he is always trying to break through himself, and each of his works is a style changeable, and there seems to be infinite possibilities.

He has carried many halos, from the youngest Oscar Best Director in history to the blockbuster director who has created box office miracles again and again.

No one knows where his limits are, and how many miracles he will create in the future.

He rarely appears on TV shows, and today he came to "Talk", I just want to talk to my peers about what a miracle is, let us invite today's guest speaker, the famous director Chen Yongren!"

With the end of the introduction video, the lights on the stage were concentrated in the center, and the applause from the audience rang out warmly, and the host Xiao Sa walked to the middle of the stage: "All the audience and all the audience friends in front of the TV, good evening!"

Welcome to the first TV youth open class "Let's Talk" on the Huaxia TV screen, I am the host Sa Beining.

The guest speaker we invited today is very young, not much older than everyone here, he has many identities, but the most famous identity is the director, so let us invite this 'young' director Chen Yongren, who has a unique style and wants to talk to his 'peers'!"

After hearing this sentence, with the warm applause in the audience, Chen Yongren walked from the backstage along the passage from the audience area to the stage, and then hugged Xiao Sa briefly.

The height difference between the two is still relatively large, and when they hug, their movements are a little awkward, and the audience in the front row all smiled slightly.

"We've communicated many times before, but you haven't had time to come to our show, and this time you suddenly agreed, which can be said to be the best gift our show has received this year, what do you think about this gift?"

After Xiao Sa and Chen Yongren separated, they immediately started talking skillfully, and the audience immediately applauded.

Chen Yongren waited for the applause to end, and said politely, and after the young people in the audience applauded warmly, he continued: "Actually, I have always wanted to come before, but it was just a time conflict, and I never had a chance.

After the completion of "The Avengers", looking at the crowds coming and going around me, I found that I was busy every day, and I hadn't sat down with friends and family to chat for a long time.

Almost all of my information about many things comes from people around me and the Internet.

So I told myself that I had to come out of my own little world and embrace this beautiful world, so I came to the lecture today. ”

After Chen Yongren finished speaking, the audience immediately offered warm applause.

Then Xiao Sa teased a few words, and said, "Okay, then let's invite director Chen Yongren, the youngest Oscar winner in history, to give us a speech" Xiao Sa said, and then retreated to sit down.

Chen Yongren coughed and cleared his throat, and watched the hosts, guests, and audience present begin to speak seriously.

Chen Yongren looked at the audience and said: "I'm a little nervous, I'm really a little nervous, I don't know what to say, and I rarely participate in such activities."

I've been through a lot, but I don't know what to say.

I've never lectured before, so I was really nervous to say yes.

Normally, you always have to give a chair when you are making a movie, but today it seems that everyone is sitting and I am standing. It's good for your health!" Speaking of this, the audience smiled.

Chen Yongren then continued: "The theme I want to share with you today is about human curiosity.

Bruner, an educational psychologist, advocates that children's intrinsic motivation should be stimulated in teaching, so that children can feel happy in learning and practice. In his view, one of the intrinsic motivations for individual learning is curiosity, so curiosity is very important.

There are two things I am most afraid of in this world, first, I am afraid that one day, I will not love the world anymore, I will not love life anymore, I am afraid that I will lose the ability to love.

The second most fearful thing is that I am afraid that my inspiration will run out, and I am afraid that I will not be curious about everything in the world.

So I was very nervous every time I finished a movie, and I was worried that after the film, the inspiration would abandon me.

I'm worried that when I step off the awards stage, I'll be a talented person. Until one day I found out that as long as I occasionally read some books, watch some old movies, and occasionally have conversations with my friends.

When one of their questions, or one of their expressions, or a thought that popped into their minds, suddenly made me feel interesting and playful, and then led me to a whole bunch of questions, I knew that at this time, the inspiration would never run out, because I had so much curiosity in my heart.

All the great things in the world are like a beautiful flower in the history of human civilization, but you must know that all these beautiful flowers come from the seed of curiosity.

The first portrait of curiosity that comes to mind when you think of curiosity is a question mark. What is curiosity? It is to feel new to the world, and curiosity represents a series of questions, or just a small question.

There is a second portrait of curiosity, and that is that of a child, a dirty quagmire that even we adults don't think is worth touching, and the little one rolls in it with curiosity, and he is so happy that we adults have forgotten about it.

You know, adults usually tend to become very snobbish as they get older, but children will care about whether a stray dog on the side of the road has a home, and children will ask his parents, this little girl on the side of the road who has nothing to do with him, a little girl who is performing acrobatics at the age of three or four, why doesn't she learn, why is she so sad, but in fact we can't answer.

I like the great physicist Albert Einstein, Einstein said that curiosity is a sacred but very fragile seedling of human nature, everyone is born with it, you and I have it.

But for the vast majority of us, it dies prematurely in our lives, and the reason why children always have such a strong curiosity, why we adults don't, is because children have no intentions for life, no purpose, no utilitarianism.

So you will find happy children everywhere in our lives, you rarely see unhappy children, but we rarely see laughing, carefree adults.

Our desires are constantly squeezing the space for our curiosity, and some of my friends have good material conditions, high incomes, are covered in famous brands, and drive luxury cars, but strangely, he has depression.

So why is this so, why we don't have curiosity about the world anymore, is it just children's, it's doomed to die and die in us, it's not.

The real difference between children and adults is that the world is a source of inspiration for children, the world is a source of inspiration for adults, the world is interesting for children, useful to adults, and the world is truly loved by children.

I once shared a quote with my friends that life is only possible if you love life, and life can truly love you.

Many times we always feel that curiosity does not seem to bring us practical benefits in daily life, but you must know that what can make us happy all our lives is precisely those useless things, which can make human civilization appear so brilliant.

I love movies, and a lot of times my love for movies comes from some simple curiosity. One of my favorite movies is called "The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" When I saw this movie for the first time, I was very moved, and I don't know why.

This is a true story about what happened between animals and people, perhaps the touching thing about the film is that sometimes, we can't do it ourselves, like Hachiko, the heart of goodness and beauty, each of us has it, but who is willing to pay without regrets? Who can promise life and death simply by being moved?

Some time ago, I was chatting with a friend who was painting, and there was a photo album in his studio, called "Jewelry", which surprised me that none of the photos in it were about jewelry, all the photos turned out to be insects. Every insect is so beautiful and beautiful under the microscopic scrutiny, and the patterns on their bodies are thready and difficult to imitate artificially.

So I was thinking that this album must have been named the wrong one, how is it called jewelry, it should be called an insect collection.

But then I thought about it, this is where we are vulgar, people don't get this topic too well, it is indeed jewelry, "jewelry" that has been carefully carved by the hands of nature.

They are the only and most unique jewels in the world that cannot be imitated. Then I thought of our fashion magazine designers, for example, the Chanel logo, the white camellia, which is an inconspicuous little flower in the corner of nature. For example, the popular car Beetle comes from an inconspicuous little insect in nature.

When the Beetle was first created, their slogan was interesting.

Unlike us, who are noble and noble, they said at the time that the Beetle represented a joyful power. The power of happiness, a person who loves life deserves to be happy.

If you think about it, since we have passed our childhood, have we ever paid attention to some things in the natural world, you must know that the human gaze has a power.

So curiosity, let's not lose it, we should do everything we can to protect this sacred and fragile seedling that grows in our nature.

It is not just a curiosity about the world, it represents a love of life, it represents an interest in life and affection.

In ancient times, there was a king named King Shangtang, who carved nine characters on the bathtub where he bathed, Gou Rixin, Ri Xin, and Ri Xin. Every time King Shang Tang wanted to take a bath, he had to use these nine words to remind himself that people should wash their bodies outside and cultivate their minds inside.

You must know that our body is actually refreshed every day, whether you want to or not, realize that your body cells are metabolized every day, then our spirit should be in harmony with our body, which is called the body and mind are not divided.

What is it that makes our spirit, like the cells of our body, constantly metabolize and maintain the power of self-renewal, and that driving force is actually curiosity.

Because curiosity drives the desire for knowledge, and the desire for knowledge is the curiosity about life and the eagerness to learn about life. So curiosity is like the metabolism of the body's cells, making your spiritual water flow all the time.

It never corrupts, so your spirit never ages. How to maintain curiosity, the young seedling does not die young, does not exhaust, that is, always have a humble heart.

Only when people are self-aware and ignorant can they always seek knowledge, and only when they are self-aware and ignorant can they maintain the novelty of everything around them.

That's why one of the most touching words of Steve Jobs' speech at Stanford University graduates in 2005 was that he was hungry for knowledge and humble for foolishness. People should be hungry, I believe he doesn't mean the belly of man.

And a life that has been seeking knowledge is a wise life, and a person who has been pursuing it is a wise person.

Life is full of magical things, and you have to allow some beautiful accidents to bloom like flowers in your life.

A lot of times when you see something really beautiful, people are more humble.

When you come into contact with some really good and wonderful people, you will know how to work hard in life, which direction to take, and how to improve yourself.

That's why I've been able to keep my film style varied, even if it's the same genre, I can shoot different styles, because I've always been curious, so I have never forgotten my original intention, and I've always been in awe of the art of film......"

Chen Yongren gave a speech on the stage, and the young audience listened attentively, laughing and applauding from time to time. Take a look at the latest chapter of "The Legend of China Entertainment: Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
