Chapter 104: Contemporary Marx
"I watched "Sunset in the Three Chomes" and related interviews, but I don't know if the film is going to be released on DVD or other overseas versions? If it involves trade secrets, you don't have to answer me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
Gu Cheng thought that this was not a trade secret, and said bluntly: "Of course it must be released." There will be a director's cut version of the DVD, and there will also be a Chinese version, in fact, the Chinese version will be released next week. ”
Aunt Miyuki Nakajima, who was on the other end of the phone, thought about it and said embarrassedly: "Since that's the case...... I have a reluctant request. ”
Gu Cheng said frankly: "You just say it, you're welcome." ”
"Can I ask you to give me a chance to use the song "Please Give Me an Eternal Lies" as the ending song of the new version?" After Miyuki Nakajima finished speaking, she seemed to feel a little ridiculous, and added, "It's not for money, it's not for money." I'm getting old, what do I need money for? ”
Perhaps because the topic span and jump were too big, Gu Cheng was down for a few seconds: "You mean, you want me to use that song as the ending song?" Belch...... Sorry, but I'm not doubting your talent. It was just so sudden that I wondered why. ”
Aunt Nakajima on the phone hesitated for a moment and said, "If it's convenient, can I have an interview?" ”
"Of course it's fine." Gu Cheng also felt that a 50-year-old senior artist, fame and fortune were indifferent, and he could not be pitted.
And the other party came to the door to ask for a meeting, and his posture was already very low.
Hanging up the phone, Pan Jieying grabbed Gu Cheng's hand and asked with concern, "What?" What's wrong with the company again? ”
Gu Cheng comforted Pan Jieying not to worry: "It's okay, I can't figure it out either." Roughly speaking, Miyuki Nakajima's predecessor suddenly said that she was very touched by my movie, and hoped that I would use her "Please Give Me an Eternal Lie" as the ending song, and also said that she flew over to talk to me about the ticket to Hujiang today. Let's talk about the friendship of landlords and go to Hujiang to wait for her. ”
As he spoke, the incredulity in Gu Cheng's mind hadn't had time to fade, because he had no intersection with those people at all.
"Miyuki Nakajima? Is she a female singer? Pan Jieying's expression was a little nervous, because she took it for granted when she heard Gu Cheng mention this, it seemed that the other party was a pretty awesome character, she said that whoever she wanted to use her song for, the other party must appreciate it.
Gu Cheng then remembered that his cousin didn't know much about the market of his predecessors in the music world.
In this era, there are no hyperlink entries, and it will take 15 months for "Baidu Encyclopedia" to appear. It's normal for people to receive inquiries from the Internet to be fragmented. In fact, even if it was ten years later, those Fuso blows, a mouthful of Miyuki Nakajima, didn't necessarily know this aunt in 05.
Gu Cheng didn't think there was anything to show his superiority, so he used as much straightforward language as possible to clear his cousin's literacy:
"A 50-year-old aunt. In short, it's very good, and the creative ability is very strong, you just need to know Teresa Teng, Princess Ren Xianqi, Liu Xiaoying, Zheng Xiuwen...... I've covered some of these creations, that's it.
As for the song "Give Me a Lie for a Life", I have also heard that it was commissioned by Takuro Yoshida, another senior in the Fuso creative industry, about seven or eight years ago. At that time, Mr. Tuolang was over fifty years old and his talent was exhausted, so he asked his young confidante for a song, 'like a will', and then Miyuki's predecessor wrote this song and gave it to him.
The tabloids say that this is a love song, hoping to express vulgar emotions such as 'obviously not love, at least lie to me to love for the rest of my life'. But if that's the case, there's no reason to use this song as the ending song of a literary film like "Sunset in the Three Chomes...... It seems that there is actually another hidden meaning in this creation. ”
"What could be the secret?" Pan Jieying is not a person in the entertainment industry, she has never heard of these things, so she is very curious.
Gu Cheng shrugged: "How do I know, in short, the truth will be revealed after the face-to-face interview." ”
……
Gu Cheng didn't have a business in Hujiang, and he didn't even have an office, so he asked his secretary to make an appointment for him to buy a coffee on the island near Pudong Airport and charter a venue.
Miyuki Nakajima's plane didn't arrive until noon, so Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying arrived early. He instructed the owner of the café to find him a Fusang album, "Give Me a Lifetime Lie", so that he could listen to it while he was waiting for someone.
The café owner was flattered and looked for a long time, but he didn't find it, it was too niche, and he apologized to Gu Cheng in person.
Gu Cheng could only go to the backstage of Dingdang.com to search for it, and found the digital version of the song, a pirated resource that had been blocked, and it was sung by Miyuki Nakajima herself (the authorization of this song was given to Takuro Yoshida, so it was included in Takuro Yoshida's album, and Miyuki only had a live version in private).
Today's "Ding Dang Net" has been completely legalized, and it will take the initiative to regularly self-check whether the resources are infringing, and if so, they will be blocked, but the administrator can still see it in the background. So there is basically no song in this world that can't be found on the "Ding Bell Network".
In order to get down to business, let's think of it as "fair use for teaching and research purposes".
In the café, "Give Me a Forever Lie" soon sounded
"I heard that it was snowing lightly in New York, and I wondered if it would be time for the flight from Narita.
If you borrow all your friends one by one, you won't be able to fly there, it's just New York.
But I want to hear the lie that will never be broken, and I want to hear that 'the journey of the two people is still going on'
You, I want you to tell a lie that will never be broken, and never reveal the truth behind it at any time
I want you to never break the lie, to say that 'everything starts with love and happens for love'
'It's that I don't have any hope for such a country anymore,' my friend once cried out, and went into exile to escape the pursue.
THE LETTER SAID THAT HE WAS SICK IN THE ALLEY OF SHANGHAI, GHOSTWRITING BY STRANGERS, AND STIFF HANDWRITING THAT HE HAD NEVER KNOWN. But they still want to hold on to the lie that will never be broken, and the letter ends with 'Don't come to me'......"
Gu Cheng understands Japanese, and Pan Jieying doesn't know much about it, but after following Gu Cheng for many years, she can listen to a rough idea.
THE HYSTERICAL WORDS IN THE SONG ARE "I HAVE LOST HOPE FOR SUCH A COUNTRY, MY FRIENDS HAVE SHOUTED LIKE THIS, AND HE HAS FLED TO ANOTHER COUNTRY TO ESCAPE THE PURSUIT" AND "HE IS SICK IN THE ALLEY OF THE SANG, GHOSTWRITING OF STRANGERS, STIFF HANDWRITING THAT HE NEVER KNOWS", "DON'T COME TO ME".
These lyrics, no matter how you look at it, don't look like the brushstrokes of children's private feelings.
On the contrary, it gives people the illusion of anti-war rock and the Beat Generation in the late 60s and early 70s.
It smells of "comradery".
Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying listened quietly for more than half an hour, and before they could figure out the taste, Miyuki Nakajima had already arrived.
At the door of the café, a fifty-year-old aunt who was in good spirits walked in, and it seemed that she hadn't taken a taxi since she came out of Pudong Airport, and she seemed to feel close. I didn't wear sunglasses either, so I should have felt that I was too angry and wouldn't be watched.
Gu Cheng's sister and brother stood up to greet them, which can be regarded as respecting the elderly.
"Nakajima-senpai, fortunately, I didn't expect to see you in this situation."
"You're welcome, I'm here abruptly, please advise." Miyuki Nakajima bowed slightly in a chic manner, and shook her hair sickly.
She has a habit of singing the song that was later translated by Teresa Teng into "Walking on the Road of Life", she has to shake her hair proudly like a little girl, as if she does not hide the arrogance in her heart, and she doesn't know what modesty is.
It's a true temperament.
Gu Cheng invited the other party to sit down and poured her coffee himself. After thinking about it, he said: "I listened to your song just now, and I roughly understand your state of mind that you want to use it for the ending song - it seems that the rumors in the market are not true." ”
Miyuki Nakajima took a sip, her eyes were already a little surprised: "You understood so quickly?" Then I'm underestimating you. I flew here to interview you in person, just to explain to you the original creative state of mind. ”
"Then you go on, I don't dare to say I understand, I just don't think it's a love song." Gu Cheng didn't dare to hold it up, he was very modest.
"That's not bad, at your age. I believe that all the ideas for "Sunset in the Three Chomes" come from your heart. ”
Miyuki Nakajima sighed with emotion, and she didn't talk politely to Gu Cheng, so she explained to herself.
"Actually, I'm a Maozuo."
The first sentence made Gu Cheng almost squirt out the coffee: "Poof-cough, what are you talking about?" ”
"Isn't that weird? Before the '80s, the world was actually very left. You young people may not know that in the 60s, the economy and life of Beiyi were better than those of Dongyi, and East Germany and West Germany were similar. The Cubans also relied on Khrushchev's planned economy to collect sugar at high prices and become rich. Eastern Europeans, countless people, felt that there was nothing wrong with that system.
Under the self-discipline of the first generation, that system seemed to be really superior. Even Brezhnev, although he was militaristic, but before 80 years, everyone did not think that his country was much weaker than the United States. As for the later Dongyi surpassing the Beiyi and the West Germany surpassing the East Germany, it was all in the 80s.
When I was in my thirties, the country went through the Plaza Accord and went through the 20 years that it continued to lose — 10 years of recession, 10 years of stagflation. At one point, I thought that this system should be finished like this, that production was developed enough, and that what was lacking was a distribution system that would allow the poor to afford it. After capital pays attention to overconstruction, it should pay attention to social ...... as you have learned."
When Gu Cheng heard this, his brain was already a little insufficient.
Hold the grass! Miyuki Nakajima's generation of Fuso people, there are so many Mao Zuo?
But if you think about it, it's actually a limitation of history. Any kind of attention, in different historical periods, will always have its own specific production soil.
Even if some Führers think that "how can anyone in the world support the Führer", in fact, when the middle class is beaten back to the proletarian prototype in a country with an economic upswing, such soil can easily appear. Germany in the 30s, and Donald pushed out after the middle class of the United States was squeezed ten years later, are all the times.
In the history of the earth, in the 50s and 60s of the last century, social attention was indeed relatively strong, for example, the Soviets relied on the national system to make a satellite into the sky in 57, which was indeed very confusing at that time, making the whole world think that "the Soviet Union is really superior to the United States".
This kind of staged comparative advantage is just like two Huashan Sect disciples, one practicing the Sword Sect and the other practicing the Qi Sect, the disciples of the Sword Sect are indeed stronger than the Qi Sect's martial arts in the first ten or twenty years. And the Qi Sect has to practice for more than thirty years before it can crush the Sword Sect. Before the thirty-year limit arrived, there would naturally be more followers in the Sword Sect.
(I won't say much about the "Sword Sect Qi Sect" set of discussions, it has been written in other books.) Lest old readers say that I cheat on the manuscript fee. )
Miyuki Nakajima was a person of that era, and her growth history was limited, so there was nothing wrong with becoming a yellow-skinned red-hearted person.
Gu Cheng cleared his mind and reluctantly continued to ask: "Then the original intention of your song is ......?"
Miyuki Nakajima smiled indifferently: "Some people say, "Please Give Me an Eternal Lie", which I wrote to Takuro, a lifelong love song, hoping to give eternal love an eternal lie - in fact, that accounts for at most thirty percent."
More than that, I have a kind of indifference to what was once considered a wrong time - and now it seems that the beliefs of the past were indeed wrong, at least in terms of the results of the phase. But I'd rather be a casual observer for twenty or thirty years, until I'm growing old and dying, and history will tell me a final conclusion. And your appearance has opened my eyes to another possibility—"
Miyuki Nakajima paused, giving Gu Cheng time to think, but Gu Cheng didn't figure out any logical connection.
"What does this have to do with me? With all due respect, I can't see it myself. ”
"Marx said that exchange value depends on supply and demand. You have shown me that there is actually a way out for the worlds that can be eroded by the scale of capital's attention and the Matthew effect, and the cancers that lead to the eventual alienation of human society into a state of 'great material abundance, but no good distribution system that the poor can afford to buy'.
That is, self-discipline by relying on human dignity and social respect needs, and relying on discrimination. After the standardization of things is greatly enriched, according to Marx, they should become less and less valuable, and finally tend to be free, even if a capitalist monopolizes this product in the world, as long as the entry threshold is low enough, he will not be able to make super-profits.
And things with individuality will become valuable, and things that only people can provide will become more valuable than machines -- even a farmer who could only sell organic vegetables for 50 yen a pound 30 years ago can now sell them for 5,000 yen, and even if inflation is removed, the human labor condensed in them still does not depreciate.
Human beings rely on the levers of contempt and dignity to heal themselves, as long as someone can prove that contempt and respect to the world - and a data and information provider like you can do just that.
As long as every consumer who eats vegetables produced with pesticides and fertilizers in the industry, you can force him to attach a data label to tell the world that he is eating standardized products, so that others can look down on him and despise him for having no personality. Those who transfuse blood for the capitalists who make profits by copying will naturally be restrained to a certain extent.
Everyone who uses non-standardized products, he should be respected, you can bring him a data label, so that he can walk on the street can be known by others 'this person uses customized handmade', so as to look up to him, the Matthew effect of 'the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker', which will naturally be partially offset by the chain of human contempt.
So, I now believe that Lie-Mao's set is not necessarily right, but Marx's set is probably still right. The ultimate supply and production attention should be born naturally from rich countries with great material abundance. It's just that you need to go through your set of social self-healing and self-healing repairs in the middle. And direct supply from a poor country that is not materially rich, I now admit that is impossible......"
Gu Cheng didn't understand the aunt's chatter at all.
However, he saw Miyuki Nakajima take out a record box with a handwritten cover, and the score was still in it. The title on the box is:
"Please Give Me a Generation's Lie"
The word "generation" was specially crossed out and rewritten to show that it was not the same idea from the beginning.
"I used to think that cutting my life would never fail, so I hope that "Give Me an Eternal Lie" will make me always believe that there is a utopia in this world, and I can just anesthetize myself for a lifetime. But you let me know that I don't need this eternal lie, that cutting my life is only a temporary failure, and that I have taken a different path. It would be nice to block the fork in the road and go straight back to Marx's fundamentalist line.
When capital pays attention to the natural extinction, it does not necessarily pay attention to production. But if the set of capital attention that you have guided and improved can't be mixed up and perish, then the world will only have to enter the production attention. ”
"Alas...... It's basically impossible......"
Gu Cheng actually wanted to tell the other party that even in the world he came to 35 years later, human beings were still pursuing the needs created by discriminating and others to continue the life of the market economy.
However, when the words came to his lips, he felt that there was no need to hit an old left who had been self-anesthetized for decades.
Just let her believe it and comfort herself, so what?
Just let her believe that "this eternal lie is actually just a lie that lasts for a generation".
The phrase itself is an eternal lie.
This is a song that was written as a will, and of course it is like a will to deceive itself to death.
Gu Cheng opened the lyrics, and sure enough, he saw that many places in it had been fine-tuned, especially the paragraph at the end, which became
"You, I want you to tell a lie that will last for a generation, until I have found the light with my black eyes, and then debunk the final truth......"
Gu Cheng closed the lyrics and reminded: "Senior Nakajima, did you misunderstand something?" 'The night gave me black eyes, I want to use them to find the light' was written by Gu Cheng, not me, you salute the wrong person. ”
"What does it matter? I believe that his family will not sue for infringement, not to mention that the infringement is also my infringement, what is the money. Miyuki Nakajima said, finishing the coffee in the cup, and then got up, "This matter should be considered settled, right?" ”
"It's settled."
"Then I'm leaving—a 3 o'clock ticket."
"In such a hurry? Then I'll send you. Gu Cheng and Pan Jieying got up and sent Miyuki Nakajima back to the terminal.
When walking through the door of the security checkpoint, Miyuki Nakajima stopped with her bag, turned around and bowed to Gu Cheng: "Thank you very much for making such a movie, you are the Marx of the creative world." ”
Gu Cheng smiled indifferently: I'm not Marx, I'm just a savior.
