The relationship with Caiyue may also be because when the "time" comes, nothing can end by delay, even if it is life, there must be someone who avenges the grievance.
So, everything has to be worried.
Yang Mian felt that he could always arrange the life of the university reasonably and pave the way for the future no matter what, because he was not alone on the road of life, and he was also sure that he would take a good road and make good choices.
Although it was his ideal to come to this university, the environment of the school was still different from what he thought. He had disappointments, but he decided to live his life on his own terms and not follow the trajectory of others, and he was tired of imitating.
There is no difference between junior and senior years for their majors, and the question now is: whether they should choose a suitable plan for the future, a suitable direction. What matters to him now is the direction of his future life. But he is also blaming himself, if he lives the present, then the future will naturally come, but in the real world, people's plans and behaviors for the future and life make him have to go with the flow. He believes that it is because his heart is not strong that he will be swayed by the world.
Even the vague concept in his mind, the direction of "suitable", he was not quite sure. Yang Mian didn't know what was appropriate, but he just felt that it was a specious standard, just like the ambiguity that our group of people have regarded as the most precious treasure since ancient times.
Always saying vague things that make you seem to understand or not, you think it makes sense at first glance, but when you think about it, you don't say it. Therefore, Yang Mian is reluctant to read those articles and books, which he thinks is just a waste of life.
But he also knows that he has a lot of problems and imperfections, but he wants to keep improving and updating. Gradually getting better. He only wants to be able to hold himself to the standards of his example, and not to pursue what others are passionate about. Therefore, Yang Mian's body has a very pure and detached temperament. He didn't notice that.
In everything, he doesn't seek the best, only the suitable, so he is not a fan of success learning. Although he didn't understand what was appropriate, he didn't make the plan, he just wanted life to go its way, so he didn't have to think too much. Probably for Yang Mian, don't ask for the best, but not bad, so that the burden on his body is not so heavy. When he chose a university, he also avoided the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama and chose the media, he thought it would be better, which actually confirmed his assumption.
To say, the current feeling that this school gives Yang Mian is suitable. He doesn't like to be too popular and noisy, and all kinds of phenomena emerge around him, and countless temptations come and go, which makes him feel annoyed. Nowadays, the university seems to be a school that values academic research, but in fact, how strong academically is secondary. He wanted knowledge more than an artistic atmosphere. Although knowledge cannot change the world or create the world, knowledge can be applied to deal with the world so that people can walk freely, you can't become a vase, a utopian, you must be a practical person, but a practical person with roots.
Because, everything that is built on fantasy will collapse in an instant sooner or later. Although from a long-term perspective, the prosperity of this world will one day be completely destroyed, because it is empty, but no one knows when the future will come, what we have to do, is it not in the cage of success is not to bind yourself, Yang Lai thinks no, he hopes that he can have a free life and a free soul.
Knowledge is the evidence of walking in this world, because the world is very complex and sometimes there are traps and traps, so we need knowledge to make basic distinctions, but Yang Mian relies on love, and love can bring wisdom. You can't learn love in school, you have knowledge in school. But that's enough, because it's a process of life.
As we all know, this university has high requirements for cultural classes, and Yang Mian's cultural classes are excellent. So he entered the school with high scores, and he also entered the choreography and directing major he liked as he wished. Directing is a magical profession, many people don't feel it, many people like to take advantage of such people, but very few people want to step into such an industry.
However, there are fewer and fewer behind-the-scenes workers, and there are fewer and fewer people who are willing to do things quietly without being watched, and people like to be in the spotlight and in front of the camera.
Whether it's a celebrity, a celebrity, an influencer, or an ordinary person, it's the same.
A school with too many stars gives people a very impetuous feeling. This is Yang Mian's intuition. The entertainment professional atmosphere is too strong and relatively high-profile, which is not suitable for a low-key person like him.
982 Foundations of Culture

Moreover, Yang Mian didn't think about whether he would really stop in this industry in the future, after all, it is still very difficult to be a director, and it is even more difficult to be a well-known director. A nobody, whether he really wants to fight hard, he is still thinking, he is waiting for an answer.
It's just that he aspires to be a freelancer, and directors are generally freelancers. Besides, he had a dream to make a movie of his own and get Academy Awa
DS, he hopes to use his own perspective and way to record life and interpret life. Because he wanted to do something like this, he chose this path. Maybe this is the common dream of all directing professionals, the Academy Awards!
However, the Oscar, after all, is not an ordinary award, the highest award, who competes. It was a huge dream, and he felt that it was difficult to achieve it, but he couldn't help but think about it, and think of it as the "far away" he was pursuing.
EGOT (Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Tony) may be the lifelong pursuit of every artist, and who doesn't want to win such an award. However, in such a place, there are very few people who can win these awards.
Perhaps.
Who knows.
Yang Mian also has this idea about himself, maybe people are like this, they think that what others can't do, maybe they can do it themselves, who knows.
Yang Mian didn't want to be limited by the award, but he still longed for the award in his heart, he knew that he was contradictory, and even there was an internal struggle, but he had no choice at the moment.
Before the establishment of the award, the standards of art were not standardized, and they were not so obvious (in fact, there were standards, but they were still hidden in the social form), and people were still free to pursue the road of art according to their own minds and standards, doing things as they wanted, not imitating others, nor digging out their minds, and pursuing everything in art according to their own will. If someone likes to delve into it, then delve into it. If someone likes to be a maverick, that's different. Some people like to collect images of social beings, so continue to document. Some people like to fantasize about what is not in reality, so continue to build buildings in the sky. At that time, people did things according to their preferences (not that it was good, it was just a social phenomenon before).
But awards, like laws, once established, people's artistic lives have undergone a great transformation.
Since the establishment of the award, people have been chasing the award, and people's mood of wanting to win the award is directly proportional to the degree of attention, popularity and authority of the award. This has become a common phenomenon, as if not winning a prize is not being recognized, not winning a prize is a failure, not winning a prize is "unprofessional", and not winning a prize is incompetence. It's a misconception, but it's widespread. In this way, people's pursuit path has been influenced by this "award", and such an influence is unique and exists in almost every field of people's social life.
The pursuit of awards, standards, norms, recognition, legal compliance, as if the pursuit of science, technology, or art and culture itself has been weakened and completely become an accessory to these things. These are the criteria for everything, and achieving these is the sign of success.
If you are interested, you can count how many standards there are in our world, and how many tangible and intangible constraints we have.
Yang Lan also felt that his idea was ridiculous, as if winning the award was success, and the award was a standard. After the award is made, people change themselves to gradually adapt to the award, and the initial freedom disappears. The same applies to all areas and corners of the world.
But it's not easy for us to get that kind of award. The crux of the problem is that the roots of the culture are different. All ideas are based on different foundations. In other words, the original evaluation criteria of the award are based on cultural concepts, which are the foundation of culture and all ideologies. The difference in our roots makes it difficult for them to understand our ideological system. It's not that they don't want to understand, it's that there are many ways that are really very different (even fundamentally different), so they can't understand it.
Yang Mian thinks that the main reason why many Chinese works cannot win such awards is this, because the mainstream thought in Europe and the United States or Western countries is based on the belief in God, and their cultural trends can be simply reduced to two words "church", or simply this kind of thinking can be summarized as "awe", reverence for the power of the universe, and believe that this power is unique, and that man is not the master of everything.
And China's traditional thinking is very different from this.
