The charcoal fire is red, and the bone broth is boiling.

The copper pot shabu in the old capital, Su Ye's reception banquet, and two rounds of wine are half-drunk.

"When it comes to charcoal fire, the old capital is the most emotional, when heating is not yet popular, every household has a coal stove in winter, and adults will put some peanuts and sweet potatoes on it, which is a rare snack in winter."

Lu Ming on the side directly gave a thumbs up, "Professor Su, I'm convinced." If you say that you grew up in a small capital, I believe it, this is also authentic. ”

"It's serious, it's all from idle stories, so everyone will listen to it."

"Don't, you're old." Jiang Baizhi laughed, and then talked about the first time Su Ye took her to Youyu Restaurant, and told Su Ye about his relationship with King Yujun.

Sure enough, in exchange for two thumbs up without accident, Zhang Kaige also took it.

Lu Ming shook his head and smiled, "Professor Su's knowledge is beyond doubt, I am now curious how you came up with the idea of giving this role played by Jiang Jiang, fate is just a concept of a script." ”

This idea was actually born in the Stoics of ancient Greece, and there are many ideas in this school that have survived to this day. One of the most important is that man's virtue is to conform to nature, and nature can also be understood here as fate. Later, this concept was also used by the ancient Roman royal family, believing that the status of the nobility was given by fate, and the lower classes of people should learn to obey. This is similar to the caste system in India and the idea of divine right in ancient China. ”

Speaking of this, Su Ye paused to give everyone time to think, "Putting aside the application of this concept to the ruling class, just on a personal level, I think it is feasible, which will make people humble." And on the professor of the movie, I don't think it will be abrupt, because the more knowledgeable a person is, the more he will understand his insignificance. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that I was working backwards. Because the heroine is very calm about death, so what supports this calm, I subconsciously thought of the Stoic idea. ”

Zhang Kaige nodded, "The idea that Professor Su gave to the characters is very appropriate, and this is also the purpose of our invitation to Professor Su. We created the characters before, and we would also make up details to rationalize the final ending, that is, the heroine calmly faced death. But we lack an internal logical impulse, or idea.

Let me give you an example, for example, the heroine is a stable middle class, but her diet, housing and transportation are not luxurious, but mainly comfortable, and can even be said to be simple. Previously, we wanted to use this description to highlight that the heroine does not love the world, so she may be fearless in the face of death. But we lack the logical support of the heroine, why don't you love the world, if it were Professor Su, what would you do? ”

Su Ye barely hesitated, "Cynicism! ”

Everyone was stunned, but Su Ye thought that everyone had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "I'm not talking about cynicism that has changed its flavor now, cynicism, and total denial of everything if you can't change it." It was the early cynicism of ancient Greece, which put the pursuit of virtue first and did not care about the wealth and honor status of the world. ”

Zhang Kaige said with a smile, "Professor Su, don't panic, our reaction is not a misunderstanding, but a surprise that you can think of the school immediately." ”

Lu Ming and Jiang Baizhi on the side hurriedly nodded in a chicken-pecking manner, as if they were afraid that Su Ye would look down on them.

"Professor Su, can you tell us more about this school?"

Of course, the founder of this school was Antisthenes, a disciple of Socrates, but it was his disciple Diogenes who developed this school of thought, and Diogenes lived only in a barrel with dogs in order to pursue his ideals, that is, morality as the highest pursuit, and he was a complete ascetic.

One of the most famous examples, Alexander the Great heard that he went to visit Diogenes and asked him, "If you have any needs, tell me, and I can satisfy you, wealth or status." But Diogenes said, "I want you to get out of the way, you're getting in my way from sunbathing." ”

"Absolutely!" Lu Ming's face was full of amazement, he was a literati with a very innocent heart, and when he heard this kind of story, he naturally felt a wave in his heart, "This is worth a drink." ”

Zhang Kaige was no exception, and he also touched a cup, but he admired Su Ye's knowledge even more, the ancients were very good, and today's people are inevitably poor. It was a good decision to invite Su Ye as a literary consultant!

In fact, as the leader of the crew, especially Zhang Kaige, he has always done it himself, so he is very busy. Tonight's meal is not only to catch the wind, but also to try Su Ye's roots, he has seen a lot of famous people over the years, but there are very few who have real skills, but just by chatting tonight, he can be sure that Su Ye is definitely indispensable!

Putting his heart down, Zhang Kaige's mind became active, and he wanted to talk about idle articles, "The practice method of this cynic school is somewhat similar to the Dongshan method. ”

"Director Zhang is amazing!"

was praised by the professor, especially by the people he affirmed, and then thinking of Su Ye's names, Rao is Zhang Kaige is older, and he is also a little happy.

Zhang Kaige continued, "I have read the biography of Master Shenxiu, Master Shenxiu inherited the method of the four ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin and the five groups of Hongren, but I didn't expect that a Buddhist poem did not match my heart, so I could not inherit the head of Zen Buddhism. How many people in the world are there who are wise and wise? Whether it is life or seeking the Tao, it should be like the Dongshan Law, and being down-to-earth is the right way. ”

The story of Shenxiu told by Director Zhang is actually the dispute between Zen Buddhism from the north to the south. Shenxiu and the Sixth Patriarch Huineng are both disciples of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren, Shenxiu believes that if you want to become a Buddha, you need to practice penance, abandon glory, and study hard to become a Buddha, so Shenxiu will say: Always wipe diligently, don't make dust. However, Huineng believes that sentient beings are Buddhas, and once they see the clarity of their minds, they can become Buddhas once they have an epiphany, but they may only be able to attain it by those who have attained the root of wisdom. Therefore, Huineng said: There is nothing in the first place, where to stir up dust.

From the perspective of Zen, Huineng's intention is inevitably higher, but Su Ye is not surprised by Zhang Kaige's opinion. Because Director Zhang is such a person, down-to-earth, from a small employee in the film studio all the way to today, completely relying on his own efforts.

Su Ye didn't express his opinion, but said with a smile, "I think I understand why Director Zhang likes Bai Zhi and often brings it up." ”

"Oh?"

Jiang Baizhi on the side was stunned, she was actually a little distracted just now, because what Su Ye talked about and Director Zhang talked about were a bit profound, she could only keep listening, and even had a faint sense of loss. In fact, as a friend, it is normal for her to feel happy and proud of her friend in this situation, or to feel bored. But her reaction now is absolutely wrong, if she has read the sentence written by Shi Tiesheng in "Broken Pen in the Gap", she may understand: Love is the moment of inferiority and abandonment of darkness.

Su Ye glanced at Jiang Baizhi gently, "Because Bai Zhi, like Director Zhang, is a down-to-earth person, she can experience a month's life for the role and immerse herself in it." She may not be the best qualification to appreciate food, but she definitely deserves to be given this bowl of rice by God. ”

Zhang Kaige was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and looked at Jiang Baizhi's gaze more satisfied, because he felt that Su Ye was right.

And at this moment, Jiang Baizhi's loss vanished, because Su Ye had been looking at her, and she could still see her good ......
