Chapter 221 Congratulations! Congratulations!
Chapter 221 Congratulations!
"Natali, congratulations! Wow! To be honest, I was relieved to see that you can graduate successfully now. Finally, I did not ruin you, the Nobel genius."
The weather in New York in June was still cold, and it was drizzling at this time, making the hotel's glass windows hazy. "The Devil Wearing Prada" ended the day of filming. Wang Yang and Jessica drove to the Izod Center in New Jersey to watch the first game between the Spurs and the Nets in the NBA Finals. This year, the Lakers, which have the "Four Heavenly Kings", were eliminated by the Spurs in the Western Conference semi-finals. Rumors of the ok combination are full of discord.
The "curse" of the Spurs winning the championship in a few years seems to continue, and they defeated the Nets tonight and won the first goal. After watching the game, Wang Yang just walked into the hotel room and remembered the text message he received in the morning, "I'm graduation!" Today is Natalie's graduation day. Of course, he had known that Natalie's thesis had met the standards for passing the grades, and there was no problem graduating at Harvard. He also briefly congratulated her in the morning.
Now is the official congratulation call. While taking off his gray coat and hanging it on the hanger, Wang Yang smiled at Natalie on the other side of his phone and said, "What life plan do you have next? Should you stay in the psychology field to study and develop further, and win a Nobel Prize in Medicine in the future? Or do you change careers and try to be an actor in the film industry? See if you can get an Oscar for Best Actress or something?"
"Well, life plan... I don't know." Natalie burped. She had just returned from the graduation carnival party and lay tiredly on the bed with a large font. Her rosy face was a little drunk. She said to the phone in her ear: "I want to do a lot! But one person has only one body, so I'm still the most interested actor for the time being! It's quite interesting. I have also achieved fame, don't waste it..."
Wang Yang took off his sneakers and put on slippers, got up and walked towards the bathroom, and smiled and said, "Your choice."
"Gahaha!" Natalie smiled and opened her eyes. His voice gradually faded away. She smiled spiritually: "Okay! By the way, I look really handsome today in a bachelor's hat! You should see it. You will fall in love with me after seeing it. It's so handsome." Wang Yang poured water on his face and washed his face, and smiled: "I was also very handsome at that time. That was one of the happiest moments in my life. Finally, I don't have to go to school!"
Natalie couldn't help but chuckled and said, "You mean you graduated from high school!" Then she heard Wang Yang say "Wait for a while" and the phone stopped. Natalie sat up and wiped her messy hair, walked to the computer desk, and said, "Hi?hello? What are you doing?"
After finishing comfortable peepee, after washing his hands and pressing the phone call, Wang Yang said with excitement, and then he heard Natalie say, "Are you in the room? Do you have a computer? Go online to talk with videos!" Wang Yang walked out of the bathroom and replied, "I don't have a camera, why do you need a video?" Natalie asked, "Why don't you buy a camera?"
While speaking, Wang Yang came to the desk and opened his laptop, logged into the communication software on the Internet, accepted the video conversation request from his friend Natalie, and her appearance appeared on the screen. She was wearing a cartoon dog-patterned top and jeans, her red cheeks showed a little drunkenness, and her messy long hair was covered with her head and shoulders, like a nightclub female alcoholic rather than a Harvard graduate.
"How is it? Do you see it?" Natalie on the screen reached out and adjusted the camera's camera's position, then approached the camera and showed an exaggerated smile. The sound came from the notebook and the phone almost at the same time. Wang Yang laughed and said, "See it!" Because of the built-in microphone, he turned off the call and put down his phone, leaned against the wooden chair and asked with a smile: "Did you hear it too?"
"Heard but can't see! I can't figure out how stingy a billionaire must be to refuse to buy a camera?" Natalie raised her middle finger at the camera lens. She suddenly said with interest, "Yes!" and saw her get up and walk away from the camera in the room. Soon she walked back, holding a black bachelor's hat on her head, and smiled with a gaze: "How is it? It's cool!?"
"It's cool and handsome." Wang Yang looked at her sloppy hair and wore a bachelor's hat crookedly. He couldn't help laughing: "Cool, very, very cool...this is decent! This image summarizes your college life very well, haha..."
Natalie on the screen also laughed. She took off her bachelor's hat and threw it away, then took it away, and put it next to her. She smiled and said, "It's a little bit, but it's not that crazy. But college has indeed given me a lot of interesting experiences and experiences in recent years. My understanding of acting and life is different from when I was in high school. Maybe this is the benefit of going to school!"
She had a quiet smile on her face, slowly tidying up her long hair, as if recalling, "You know that I have been educated since I was a child, 'Natali, read books!', 'Natali, read books!' Since I was a child, I have been a lot of rules, family relationships, politeness... You can be disobedient, but you must read books and read books consciously..."
"God! Save my daughter who is a doctor! She drowned!" Wang Yang interrupted and said, and Natalie suddenly let out a puff, rolling her eyes rarely and said, "It seems that this is not the case with Chinese families."
This is a classic joke that is widely circulated. How to identify which one is a Jew from the mother's cry for help? Other mothers will shout: "God! Save my child! He drowned!" The Jewish mother will shout: "God! Save my son who is a doctor! He drowned!"
Thinking of his family education since childhood and other Chinese classmates and friends, Wang Yang shook his head with a smile, suddenly realized that he had no camera, and said with a smile: "My family is not, my parents are like gypsys. Now they are wandering, so happy! However, although the proportion of Chinese education is high, the education of Chinese families is actually a little worse. Most of us are taught to read books because of "success and becoming the upper class of society". If there are other ways to achieve this goal, you can not read."
He sighed helplessly and continued, "You are also trying to become a talent, but if you have an extra 'learning what you like, you will have fun and wisdom'. No matter what social status you are in, a person with wisdom is a capable person. Obviously this is the pursuit that you should really have when reading books."
"Fun, wisdom, capable people... some truths." Natalie laughed, and she frowned again, saying, "Anyway, I grew up in such a family background, I always feel that I can't go to college, I must go to college, and it's the best! Really, if I can't go to Harvard, I will feel useless. Why do you think this is?"
Wang Yang suddenly laughed and said, "It's very simple, you need the recognition of Ivy League!" After laughing, he thought about what he had just said, but suddenly had a new idea. While the movie has not been completed and the later copying begins, Daniel Wu needs to dubbing a few more words...
"So that's it! I really envy you for not needing these recognitions." Natalie proudly picked up the degree hat next to her and put it on her head. She looked at her computer screen with a very satisfied look. Wang Yang gave her a beat-up expression and smiled: "When it comes to studying hard, we Chinese are definitely the front, except me." He said leisurely: "The lights are on the third day and the fifth day is when men are studying."
"What does that mean?" Although Natalie's Chinese is fine and has no problem listening or speaking, she doesn't understand ancient poems very well. Wang Yang explained: "That is to say, from 11 to 5 in the morning, you should study." Natalie frowned and shook her head, "That's not good, when will you go to bed? Why don't you watch it during the day if you sleep during the day?" Wang Yang said: "If you don't sleep, you can also watch it during the day." Natalie smiled disapprovingly and said: "Is it possible not to sleep?" Wang Yang smiled and said: "Why don't you ask Da Vinci?" Natalie shrugged and said: "So he died so early."
Wang Yang smiled and did not argue about this topic. He did not mean that. He looked at Natalie on the screen and said, "This poem is actually a very artistic picture. Through the lights of the window, the figure walking with a book, and perhaps a sleeping rooster beside the house, you will feel how hard that guy works! Just treat it as the week before the exam, let alone the sleeping issue."
"Oh!" Natalie nodded suddenly. She thought for a moment and smiled: "The camera is raised, let's hang another moon in the sky!"
"I have been studying ancient Chinese poems recently. I found that some poems have a very picture and artistic conception, which is really great." Thinking of those poems, Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God! It's great, so wonderful!"
These poems from more than a thousand years ago and thousands of years ago have many artistic feelings that can only be understood but not expressed, and are simply direct to the heart; and their sense of picture is very, very strong, and they can completely create a complete picture of either beautiful, elegant or solemn atmospheres. This feeling of "things and spirits" and "integration of poetry and painting" is not available in many romantic Western classical poems.
Only modern symbolism, which was separated from Japanese haiku and Chinese ancient poetry in the early 19th century, has such an ethereal and distant artistic conception, such as William Butler Yeats's "Innasfly Island", but compared to Tao Yuanming, Yeats's lyricism seems a bit nagging and affects the sense of the picture.
However, the British-American Imaginary School, led by the representative figure Ezra Pound, has no nagging. After studying Japanese haiku and Japanese ancient Chinese poems translated by Japanese, Pound summarized that the Imaginary School should have three principles: "regardless of subjective and objective, directly describe things", which is a sense of picture; "never talk nonsense" and "a musical sense of rhythm that can be played instead of beats."
Ezra Pound believes that images are formed in an instant, relying on intuition, not showing any emotional concept, and relying solely on describing the picture to bring readers' feelings. Pound even said, "It is better to write only one image in your life than writing ten thousand books." His representative work is "in-a-station-of-the-metro.the-apparition-of-these-faces-in-the-cro-a-wet, black-bough. (At a Paris metro station, these faces flashed like a fantasy in the crowd; the petals on the wet black branches counted.)" It can be said that this has been achieved.
The Imaginary School is calm, implicit, concise and strange, but Wang Yang felt that this also restricted the expression of artistic conception, and this limitation was also the reason for the short life of the Imaginary School. Because Ezra Pond did not understand Chinese and Chinese culture, he translated Chinese ancient poems with Japanese translations and Finnolosa's manuscripts, which also led to many mistakes and the loss of artistic conception.
"you-came-by-on-bamboo-stilts, playing-horse, you-www.piaotian.comg-www.piaotian.coms. (You come on bamboo stilts and ride horses together; you walk around my chair and play with green plums together.)" This is the effect of "The man rides a bamboo horse and plays green plums around the bed." After the translation, Wang Yang felt that he was very lucky, understood Chinese characters, learned Chinese culture since he was a child, and directly touched and felt the "image" of Pang De's pursuit of his life. It was a blessing!
Because translation is translation, no matter whether there are any errors or any genre, the artistic conception of those ancient Chinese poems can only produce a subtle feeling when you understand Chinese characters, and the feeling of the picture that comes directly to you: "Pane is asked by the boy, and the teacher said that he will go to collect herbs. Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and the crows are unknown." "Withed vines, old trees, crows, small bridges and flowing waters, ancient roads, the west wind and thin horses, the setting sun, heartbroken people are at the end of the world." "The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sunset is round."...
This kind of picture techniques with parallel montage and comparison montage, these ethereal and vast and rough poems are his favorite now and his channel to the world of "Firefly". These poems made him feel that he had found a way to blend western cowboys and oriental beauty, and gave him a lot of inspiration for storyboards. He had constructed an important picture...it must be very interesting.
Wang Yang was obsessed with romantic and lyrical poetry for a period of time, that is, when he wrote "Natali who played Matilda is like a degenerate elves...", he later felt pretentious and was once bored with all the poetry, and had never understood Chinese ancient poetry. However, with the recent re-study of Chinese culture, he now found that it is very certain that at least for him, the most fascinating poems in the world are these ancient Chinese poetry with strong sense of pictures and full of artistic conception.
"No wonder Kafka said that Chinese books are just a sea, and you will easily be silent in the sea." Wang Yang fully utilized the director's "talk" side and said a lot of poetry to Natalie on the laptop screen. At first, Natalie had some problems, but later she simply fiddled with the bachelor's hat. After listening to him finish speaking in one breath, the drunkenness on her face became lighter and lighter. She found that his endless talk actually had the effect of sobering up.
However, Wang Yang still felt that it was not enough. After talking about the poem, he mentioned Kafka and continued to say with interest: "You know that Kafka said that I was like a stained glass ball, sliding from this character to that corner, but its core was still locked, too profound and difficult to understand. I was thinking about the relationship between human nature and nature recently..." Natalie fell forward on the table, and she whimpered: "I just graduated, can I keep me away from books and thinking for a while? Brother, it's not now, I can't see you..."
"I can see. I just said...this is the benefit of reading, you can get these fun." Wang Yang shook his head and smiled, paused and said without saying anything. Natalie gave the camera a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Ha, this is wisdom. I was dizzy at first, but now I feel like I'm taking an exam! Well, it seems that I have to study the artistic conception of those poems. Maybe deep down, I'm also a Chinese!"
She said this because Kafka, a Jew, said, "Deep down, I am a Chinese."
"I don't know." Wang Yang gave a grimace expression and smiled, "I'm not a psychologist! I disappointed my mother." Natalie suddenly laughed in a very obscene way and asked, "Young, I know you were very coquettish at the MTV Movie Awards a few days ago. She said a lot of big butts and fat ass..." She smiled and licked her lips and said, "What's that artistic conception?"
"Of course it's the artistic conception of the butt." Wang Yang couldn't help laughing. Why did he feel a bad feeling of being "surrounded by the butt" in recent days? He smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the butt, it makes you twitch when you are funny."
Natalie slapped the bachelor's hat on the table, looked at the camera and smiled: "Wow! Are you referring to your butt talk show? I love it! But I haven't watched it yet. I didn't watch TV at the party today, and there is no online... You tell me directly? No, no, there is no atmosphere at the scene... fuck! I'd better wait a little longer! Don't spoil it." Wang Yang responded: "I don't have that plan."
"I remember it! A few days are my birthday, right?" Natalie smiled and said with a smile: "I'm going back to New York. On my birthday, I'm going to have a birthday party at home to celebrate my 22 years old! Oh, I'm 22 years old..." Her face suddenly became serious and she said: "So you know!"
Looking at the face on the screen, Wang Yang nodded naturally and said, "Okay, a good plan! I happen to be in New York. Can I go to participate?" Natalie nodded with satisfaction, waved her hand and said, "Yes, bring your hot girlfriend with you! If she doesn't want to come, you should come too, do you know? I have already told others that 'Miya Yang will come!', don't embarrass me."
"Okay, no problem." Wang Yang agreed. Why didn't Jessica want to go? She didn't want to go. Anyway, Long Island is opposite. Natalie on the screen immediately smiled and said, "You have to have a talk show at the party to cheer everyone up and prepare well!" Wang Yang immediately gave an angry expression and said, "Please! You really think I'm a talk show star! I won't agree."
"Then... have a kung fu performance!" Natalie failed to make a plan and made another plan. She pretended to be cute and young, and said, "yoyo, my birthday!" Wang Yang laughed a few times and said, "nana, you just want to play tricks on me! OK, what kung fu performance, kick the wooden board? Then you have to prepare the wooden board for performance."
Chapter completed!
