221, drink like thunder
Feng Weijie did not directly say why he didn't make movies for a few years, and why he gave up halfway through filming "Thorn Qin" last year.
But through indirect narration, he can be regarded as making it clear that he did not make movies to accompany his father with Alzheimer's disease, and he came back for his father's last memory and for himself.
Family affection is the easiest thing to touch.
Especially when the protagonists are old people and children, it makes people cry even more.
It's a pity that Feng Weijie has always used "you", and he is talking about his father, so it is difficult for Meng Shi to empathize.
But this time he didn't say as usual: Meng Yuyuan was already dead.
So the two of them, each with their own concerns, fell into a short silence.
"I envy this kind of affection between you and your father." After a cigarette, Meng Shi said, "I have followed my mother since I was a child, she was born in a fishing village, when she was very young, my grandfather and uncle were gone, and since then, my grandmother has devoted all her time except for supporting her and her second uncle to seeking the blessing of the Buddha and reciting Amitabha.
Comrade Xia Qin's growth was unguided.
So she became a teacher.
I think most teachers have believed that they can do something for their students and guide them to understand the world, but the reality is often the other way, and there are only a few teachers who can really guide students, preach and solve doubts.
Unfortunately, she is not in the minority.
She is just a qualified preacher who can explain everything thoroughly, but she can't deal with the confusion of her students.
And she tied the two roles of teacher and mother together, which made my student years always accompanied by pain and confusion, and I couldn't even breathe.
I used to joke that you are not like my mother, like the political commissar that the state deserves to me.
Therefore, now I call her Comrade Xia Qin. ”
Feng Weijie said, "Children are under the combined influence of the family environment, social environment, and school environment, and the absence of any one party will harm the integrity of education."
However, there are too few cases where the resultant force can be perfectly formed, so the growth of every child is mostly accompanied by confusion.
They are always in a state of confrontation with teachers, parents, and the environment, which is normal, the difference is only that the degree of confrontation is fierce or not. ”
Meng Shi smiled bitterly, "Comrade Xia Qin and I are both mother and son, teacher and student, plus we both have stinky tempers, it is a double confrontation, and the final result is that no matter how much I choose to obey is hurting myself, choosing confrontation is hurting her, we have been in the process of hurting each other." ”
Submissive.
Antagonism.
Meng Shi walked both roads in his life, and finally looked back and stood on a high place, only to see the root cause behind the predicament, and understand that open communication is the only way to get rid of the ending of hurting each other.
Feng Jiewei was quite touched by Meng Shi's words, saying, "The night before I went out this time, I had a fight with my daughter, and she went to her mother with full of anger. ”
Meng Shi asked, "You have seen education so thoroughly, it stands to reason that it should be a situation of perfect synergy, where does the current contradiction come from?" ”
Feng Jiewei shook his head and smiled bitterly, "She 'ran a group' with people on the Internet, talking about evil gods, I think it's too gloomy, let her study more, go out more, exercise more, lose weight, she just cried vigorously, but crying can solve the problem, obviously not, crying is just a means for her to get by." ”
Meng Shi frowned and lit a cigarette.
He knew that if the topic went any further, it might slide to a very bad outcome.
Stop here, although this wave of heart-to-heart talks is not a real heart-to-heart, it can at least allow Feng Jiewei to live in the crew for two months.
But...... Meng Shi suddenly wanted to try the power of the "Zen magic weapon" on Feng Jiewei, so that he could guard against the old monk and treat him in the future.
So, Meng Shi took a puff of his cigarette and asked, "How old is Director Feng's child?" ”
Feng Jiewei was immersed in the disappointment of his daughter, took a sip of tea, and said, "I will go to high school next year, I often wonder why she can't be like other children, like dancing and photography, I reflect on myself that this is not in place of family education, and I used to be too tolerant and doting on her." ”
Meng Shi stretched out his hand and took the ashtray in front of him between the two of them, and said, "Your father has always been your staunchest supporter and best friend, why can't you play such a role in your daughter's world." ”
Feng Jiewei frowned and looked at him, and said with some displeasure, "My dream is to be a director, this is a serious matter." I deserve that recognition. What does she want to do? What is she doing? Can we generalize? ”
If Feng Jiewei had a bar on his head that represented favorability, it should have been reduced from 60 friendly to 50 neutral by now.
Meng Shi naturally knew that Feng Jiewei didn't want to continue the topic, but he said to himself, "I'm not saying that all hobbies are worthy of support.
However, before the opposition, as a vital part of the educational triangle environment, parents should not pose, I am your father, I am your mother, I have lived longer than you, I know more than you, I am all for your good, such a lofty posture will wipe out all the interests of children.
Should families treat their children with due respect?
A father said to his daughter, you go and lose weight, is it a little too direct and hurts her self-esteem? ”
Feng Jiewei was silent.
The goodwill that I brushed up before has basically returned to when we first met.
Feng Jiewei is a very strong and confident person in his bones, and it can be seen from the-for-tat confrontation between him and Ji Hongting that he does not feel that he has not made films for many years.
came to "Wukong" this time, in his opinion, it was just a favor from Qingxue Media, not to help Meng Shi.
At the same time, middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, especially those who have achieved a certain amount of success, have a bit of arrogance in their hearts, 'You'll understand when you reach my age'.
Just like Li Keliang, the former chairman of Moutai, said, "Young people don't drink Moutai because it's not time yet, he is playing in his twenties, and that is a child who is not sensible and doesn't know how to choose a good wine to drink." ”
YOUNG MAN: I'm so poor.
Feng Jiewei was probably thinking in his heart at this moment, the young man in his twenties opposite was a little ridiculous to talk to him about children's education here, and when you have children yourself, you will naturally understand the difficulty of family education.
Meng Shi had expected these in his heart, but not only did he not stop, but his wording was even more gunpowdery, "You and my mother, let me really feel that perhaps, before people become parents, they should first know how to be parents, instead of experimenting with children, fiddling children like dolls into the shape they want." ”
Meng Shi has said it to this point, and it has already passed the point of making in-depth words, and has progressed to the point of accusation.
At this moment, Feng Jiewei's good impression of Meng Shi because of his heart-to-heart conversation completely disappeared.
Meng Shi completely ignored his gradually cold face and said, "I love my mother very much, she is the most important person to me in this world.
But she passed on her disappointment with Meng Yueyuan to me, which was an extremely bad act.
Her actions left me in pain and confusion for a long time.
Director Feng is now grafting his will onto his daughter's body, and I don't think it's a wise decision either.
You have a common problem, you think you know a lot about education, you think you know what is good for your children, what is the right path, but the question is is you really right?
And, although you behave similarly, you can't expect your daughter to be like me.
You know, it's really much easier to hate someone than to love someone. ”
Feng Jiewei's face finally became completely gloomy.
He said, "Director Meng, let's talk about the script." ”
Meng Shi took a cigarette from the cigarette case, handed it over, and said nonchalantly, "I think your conditions can definitely ensure a good school education and social environment for children, but are you really sure that family education is not strict enough, and there is a problem?!" I don't believe in a father who dislikes his daughter's figure, how doting on her usually is! ”
Feng Jiewei didn't take the cigarette, he stared at Meng Shi and said, "What qualifications do you have to evaluate my family affairs!" ”
Meng Shi put the cigarette on the table and said, "Do you think we can still cooperate?" ”
Feng Jiewei stared at Meng Shi, as if he wanted to see something in his eyes.
But Meng Shi was very calm from beginning to end, not excited by criticizing others, nor complacent about thinking that he was right, as if what he just said was just some trivial daily life.
Feng Jiewei did not answer his question.
Meng Shi got up and took a few storyboard manuscripts in front of him, and said, "I think, Director Feng didn't take "Wukong" to heart at the beginning, you probably just thought about it and took a look, and went through the motions, but after people arrived, they suddenly found that the script, photography, actors, filming locations, and even me, the director, didn't look so unbearable, so they were willing to talk to me about their hearts, didn't they." ”
Feng Jiewei watched him take the manuscript away and said, "I believe that you have seen my personality, and you also know how important I am to "Wukong", and you understand your own words, there is a high probability that it will disgust me, thus completely destroying the relationship we just established, but you still chose to say everything, since Director Meng understands the theory of dependent origination, he naturally knows that everything is done, and fate must be exhausted as soon as possible." ”
Meng Shi said, "I said before, this is called self-obsession, I only look at me, your attitude towards me, your attitude towards me, your attitude towards the crew, your family, and your attitude towards my daughter, all make me unable to convince myself to cooperate with you, I know that you owe Qingxue Media a favor, this time it is my problem, so I call the shots, and this matter ends here." ”
Feng Jiewei said, "Can you call the shots?" ”
Meng Shi took out his mobile phone, flipped to Qin Qingxue's number, put it on the table, and said, "I believe that she will stand with me, just as she believes that I will not cheat her." ”
Feng Jiewei looked down at his phone, looked at Qin Qingxue's name, got up and said, "I hope so." ”
Feng Jiewei walked straight out, and when he was about to reach out to open the box door, Meng Shi looked at his back and said, "Director Feng, can I ask you a question?" ”
Feng Jiewei kept walking, holding the doorknob in his hand.
Meng Shi raised his voice and said, "Do you think the old man thinks that you are doing the right thing, so he firmly supports you?" ”
Feng Jiewei stopped.
Meng Shi's layers of foreshadowing finally ended, and he said aloud,
"The person who remains in your father's final memory, is it you who wants to do the right thing, you who wants to be a director, or you who are on the beach because you have found what you want to do, and you are in high spirits!"
Meng Shi strode over, grabbed his wrist, and asked, "Is your father's unwavering support really just because you want to be a director?!" His thirty years of watch, just because you're doing the right thing?! ”
Feng Jiewei was like a blow to the head, and the whole person trembled like chaff.
