Chapter 51 Warmth
The charcoal fire is red and the bone broth is boiling.

In the old capital, the meat was boiled in a copper pot, and Su Ye's banquet was held for two rounds of wine, and it was already half drunk.

"When it comes to charcoal fires, the old capital is the most emotional. Before heating was popularized, every household had a coal stove in the winter. The adults would put some peanuts and sweet potatoes on it, which was a rare snack in winter."

Lu Ming on the side immediately gave a thumbs up, "Professor Su, I am convinced. If you say that you grew up in the capital, I will believe it. It is so authentic."

"It's serious, I just listened to it from idle articles, so let's have a good time listening to it."

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

Sure enough, Zhang Kaige accepted the exchange for two thumbs up without any surprise.

Lu Ming shook his head and said with a smile, "Professor Su's knowledge is unquestionable. Now I'm curious how you came up with the idea of ​​assigning the role played by Jiang Jiang. Destiny is just a script concept."

"This idea was actually born in the Stoic school in ancient Greece. This school has many ideas that have been handed down to this day. The most important one is that human virtue is to follow nature, and nature can also be understood as destiny here. Later this idea It was also used by the ancient Roman royal family, who believed that the status of the nobility was bestowed by fate, and the lower class people should learn to obey. This is similar to the caste system in India and the idea of ​​divine right in ancient my country."

Speaking of this, Su Ye paused for a moment to give everyone time to think, "Abandoning the application of this concept in the ruling class, it is only on the personal level, I think it is feasible, and it will make people humble. And put it in the movie I don’t think it will be abrupt about the professor, because the more knowledgeable a person is, the more he will understand his own insignificance. In fact, it is more accurate to say that I am pushing backwards. Because the heroine treats death calmly, so what is it? In support of this tranquility, I subconsciously think of the Stoic philosophy.”

Zhang Kaige nodded, "Professor Su's idea of ​​the characters is very appropriate. This is also the purpose of inviting Professor Su to come. We created the characters before and made up details to rationalize the final ending, that is, the heroine. Facing death calmly. But we lack an inner logical impetus, or an idea.

Let me give an example. For example, the heroine is considered a stable middle class, but her food, housing and transportation are not luxurious. She only focuses on comfort, and it can even be said to be simple.Before, we wanted to use this description to highlight that the heroine does not love the world, so she may face death without fear.But we lack the logical support for why the heroine doesn't love the world. If it was Professor Su, how would you deal with it? "

Su Ye hardly hesitated, "Cynicism!"

Everyone was stunned, but Su Ye thought that everyone had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I'm not talking about the cynicism that has changed its taste now, cynical, and completely denying everything if you can't change it. It's the cynicism in early ancient Greece. Pursue virtue as the first priority, and do not care about wealth and honor in 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 immediately think of the school."

Lu Ming and Jiang Baizhi at the side nodded hurriedly like chickens pecking at rice, as if they were afraid that Su Yegao would look at them.

"Professor Su, can you talk about this school in detail?"

"Of course, the founder of this school was Antisthenes, a disciple of Socrates, but it was his disciple Diogenes who developed this school. Diogenes pursued his own ideal, that is, Taking morality as the highest pursuit, he only lives in a wooden barrel with dogs as companions. He is a complete ascetic.

In one of the most famous cases, Alexander the Great heard that he went to visit Diogenes and asked him, what needs can you tell me, and I can satisfy you, wealth or status.But Diogenes said, I hope you can step aside, you are blocking my sunbathing. "

"Absolutely!" Lu Ming was full of surprises. He is a literati with a very innocent heart. When he heard this kind of story, his heart was naturally turbulent, "This is worth a drink."

Zhang Kaige was no exception, and he also sipped a cup, but he admired Su Ye's knowledge at his fingertips even more. The ancients were very good, but today's people are not so good.It was a good decision to invite Su Ye as a literary consultant!

In fact, as the leader of the crew, especially Zhang Kaige, who has always done it himself, he is very busy.Tonight's meal is not only a welcome, but also the idea of ​​trying Su Yegen's roots. He has met many famous people over the years, but very few people with real skills, but just chatting tonight, he can I'm sure Su Ye definitely has a clue!

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

"Director Zhang is amazing!"

Being praised by the professor, especially those who he affirms, and thinking of Su Ye's names, even Zhang Kaige is a bit older, so he is also a little happy.

Zhang Kaige continued, "I have read the biography of Master Shenxiu. Master Shenxiu inherited the Dharma Door of the Fourth Zen Patriarch Daoxin and the Five Groups of Hongren. A person with a high root of wisdom? No matter in life or in pursuit of the Tao, one should follow Dongshan's method and keep one's feet on the ground. This is the right way."

The story of Shenxiu told by Zhang Dao is actually the dispute between the north and the south of Zen Buddhism.Both Shenxiu and Sixth Patriarch Huineng were disciples of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren. Shenxiu believed that if one wanted to become a Buddha, one needed to practice hard, abandon glory, and study hard to become a Buddha.However, Hui Neng believes that all living beings are Buddhas. Once they see the clear nature of their minds, they can become Buddhas in an instant, but only those who have the root of wisdom can get it.That's why Hui Neng said: "There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust?"

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

Su Ye didn't express his opinion, but smiled, "I think I understand why Director Zhang likes Baizhi, and he often supports her."

"Oh?"

Jiang Baizhi on the side was stunned for a moment, she was actually a little lost in thought just now, because what Su Ye talked about and what Director Zhang talked about was a bit advanced, she could only keep listening, and even felt a little bit lost.In fact, as a friend, it is normal for her to feel happy and proud of her friend, or feel bored in this situation.But her current reaction is absolutely wrong. If she read the sentence written by Shi Tiesheng in "Sick Pen", maybe she will understand: love is the moment of self-abased and turning to light.

Su Ye took a gentle look at Jiang Baizhi, "Because Bai Zhi is a down-to-earth person like Director Zhang, she can experience a month's life for the role and immerse herself in it. She may not be the highest qualification for the meal, But she definitely deserves this bowl of rice from God."

Zhang Kaige was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, looking at Jiang Baizhi with more satisfaction, because he felt that Su Ye was right.

And at this moment, Jiang Baizhi's disappointment disappeared, because Su Ye had been looking at her, and she could still see her beauty.
