"Mr. Chris, although there are only three people in our reading club now, we definitely have an advantage because as far as I know, there is no YU reading club in this area at all. We are the only one. As long as we do some publicity..."
In the leisure area of ​​the Little Bear Bookstore, Hans picked up the coffee cup, only to find that it was empty.
He sighed secretly. Hal had not told him before that the person who wanted to join the book club was such a... passionate young man.
More than half an hour has passed since the two met. During this period, Hanes said less than fifty words. The rest of the time was spent by this young man named Jeff Gonzalez.
explain.
Jeff Gonzalez is in his twenties and has long blond hair that is naturally loose. In addition to his thin figure, Hanes thought he was a woman from behind.
"Mr. Gonzalez." Harnes finally couldn't help but interrupt Jeff Gonzalez, "I think Hal should tell you that I organized this book club just to communicate with my fellow readers.
If you want to become famous through this, I'm afraid you won't be able to do what you want. And I think there is no need for you to find me. With your ability, you can form a reading club of your own by recruiting a few people."
Jeff Gonzalez was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I'm not doing it for fame, at least not just for fame. Indeed, as you said, your reading club only has two people. I can definitely form another one by myself.
.And the reason why I chose you is because you are the first YU reading club I have heard of during this period. This can guarantee that we all really love YU. You are very likely to be the number one in the United States or even the world.
There is a YU reading club, and I always like to be first."
"However, from the time we met until now, you haven't mentioned a single word about your works. You've only been showing me your grand blueprint."
The implication of Hearns' words is that Jeff Gonzalez doesn't really like YU.
Jeff Gonzalez did not answer immediately, but picked up the cup in front of him. This was the first time this cup of coffee had been picked up since it was delivered to him, and it was already cold.
But he seemed to like drinking cold coffee, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking coffee, Jeff Gonzalez spoke again, "Hans, I am different from you. You like to discuss this book with people who have read it, but I prefer to talk about it with people who have not read it.
Book."
"Why?" Hanes looked confused.
"Because I like to bring what I think is good to others and let them like it too."
Harns was not surprised at all when such strong words came out of Jeff's mouth.
In just over half an hour, that's how Jeff Gonzalez made Hearns feel.
"Hans, you like to communicate with your peers, but I can help you have more peers. I really can't think of any reason for you to refuse me joining the book club."
…
On July 10th, "Soft Knife" will be released.
Yu Dong took Cheng Yanqiu to watch the first show.
Because there is no box office statistics, the movie is not released at midnight now. The two of them went to see the movie in the morning.
I have to say that Zhang Yimou's composition is really beautiful. Although the background is all rural, the picture gives people a really good feeling.
For today's audiences, when watching Zhang Yimou's movies, even if they don't pay attention to the plot, the pictures alone are enough to make them worth the price of admission.
The performances of several actors are also remarkable. Needless to say, Gong Li, the role itself suits her very well.
Li Xuejian performed the role of Yu Xi very well.
Yu Xi is not a simple bad guy, nor is he a very positive good guy. He is just a well-known writer who doesn't pay much attention to ordinary people. What he thinks about every day is how to write his own novel well. As for what his novel will do to people.
He never considers the harm caused to others.
But Li Xuelian's death still gave him a big impact. The persecution that Li Xuelian suffered in the village made Yu Xi feel angry, but when he thought that he also had a share of responsibility for Li Xuelian's death, he didn't know where to go with the anger in his heart.
Vented.
He consciously blamed the villagers for Li Xuelian's death, but in the end he could not get over the hurdle in his heart.
Halfway through the movie, someone in the theater suddenly called out: "Your mother is Yu Xi."
The sound came from the back of Yu Dong's head, startling him.
Yu Dong turned his head and looked at the direction from which the sound came. A man was looking at the screen with gritted teeth. The colorful lights in the theater shone on the man's face, as if he was also included in the movie.
If he really gets into the movie, Yu Dong has no doubt that he will beat up Yu Xi.
Cheng Yanqiu next to her was also startled, but her first reaction was to look at Yu Dong and comfort her in a low voice: "The harder he scolds, doesn't it mean that your writing is good?"
Yu Dong actually didn't take it seriously, but when he heard Cheng Yanqiu's comfort, his heart felt warm and he gently held her hand.
In fact, there are not many scenes of Yu Xi in the novel. The novel written by Yu Xi was just an opportunity, and Yu Dong did not spend much time on shaping the character himself.
However, a lot of scenes were added to the movie, and Xi's portrayal was more detailed, which is why the audience reacted so strongly.
So the fact that this person scolded him so much has little to do with the novel, but mainly because of Zhang Yimou's good photography.
After coming out of the cinema, the two of them could still hear everyone discussing the plot of the movie.
Not far away from the two of them, someone cursed and said: "I think the person who plays Yu Xi must be such a person in private. This kind of person is so hateful. He insults people's innocence for nothing."
"No, I feel like throwing up when I see his face." The person next to him echoed: "This kind of person deserves to die, and so do the people in the village."
Listening to their discussion, Yu Dong felt particularly ironic.
While they were accusing Yu Xi and the villagers, they were doing the same thing at the same time, thus plainly accusing the actors. People can always easily examine others, but it is difficult to examine themselves.
However, judging from their reactions, the audience response to this movie is pretty good. At least until now, Yu Dong has not heard anyone say that this movie is not good. They are all just discussing the characters in the movie.
After walking out of the cinema, Cheng Yanqiu took a deep breath, suddenly turned his head and looked at Yu Dong with a special look.
"You know, among all your works, this novel is my favorite."
"Why?" Yu Dong asked with a smile.
Chapter completed!
