Chapter 46: In-depth discussion

Yu Boya is good at playing, Zhong Ziqi is good at appreciating, Zhong Ziqi can always understand what Yu Boya is thinking from the sound of the qin, which is the origin of the word bosom friend. Later, when Zhong Ziqi died of illness, Yu Boya was deeply saddened, thinking that his bosom friend was dead, and no one in the world would appreciate his performance like Zhong Ziqi. So, never play the piano again.

Gu Luobei has always been very clear about what he wants, whether it is opening an independent music studio or shooting an independent film, all he asks is to appreciate his bosom friend. Therefore, one bosom friend is enough, and blind obedience is too few. Gu Luobei just hoped that he could fully enjoy the joy of creating music and the process of filming the movie. As for whether it was a niche or unpopular, he didn't care.

Christopher Nolan was in a rush, and that's what he was in at this moment. It's not that he took Gu Luobei's original bosom friend, but that after the filming of "Memories Fragment", someone could understand his original shooting intention so deeply, which really made Christopher Nolan very excited: Bosom friend Enough, blind obedience is too little.

"So, do you think Leonardo is actually mentally ill, and he deliberately avoided his real memories?" Christopher Nolan's tone fluctuated slightly, but he basically remained calm.

The audience next to him did not hear Christopher Nolan's answer to Gu Luobei's speculation. Was Leonardo's wife killed by injection himself, yes or no? Some people couldn't bear it anymore, and could not help interrupting Gu Luobei's answer loudly, and asked directly, "Nolan, is the speculation just now correct?"

Christopher Nolan didn't answer, didn't even look back, just looked at Gu Luobei with a smile.

Gu Luobei didn't seem to have heard the question from others, and the look in his eyes brightened again. The clear blue in his eyes shone through the mist formed by the eyelashes, bursting with dazzling light, "Of course!" Gu Luo Bei directly answered Christopher Nolan's question and was decisive.

"All our actions have a purpose, and those purposes are based on past memories. Memory is proof of self-existence, and if memory is lost, the person is gone, in a sense. "Memory is actually a part of psychology. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychology, has done research on memory and dreams. Gu Luobei is now in the Department of Psychology, and he is quite involved in these things. At this time, he is talking about it completely, "But are the memories we think about real? Are we going to forget them? Deliberately distorting memory, whether to modify memory to beautify ourselves. Maybe we did not deliberately modify memory, but some subconscious, self-protective psychological characteristics that evolved for survival automatically completed this task.”

Gu Luobei said this sentence, the first time I heard it, it felt very convoluted and academic, but the principle is actually very simple. When people are stimulated, such as quarreling, they will always leave the most memorable part of themselves in their minds, and understand what the other party blurts out from their own standpoint. Afterwards, both parties in the quarrel will have very different memories of the past. If the stimulus is more severe, such as a car accident, such as the scene of an accident, it is also possible to selectively forget this memory, or to develop this memory according to the facts you want. This kind of thing is not uncommon in medicine.

In Gu Luobei's eyes, what seemed to be a very simple sentence made the dozens of spectators around him silent. The phrase, "But are the memories we think are real?" Christopher Nolan immediately applauded, which was exactly what he had in mind when he created the film. And next to Teddy Bell also fell into contemplation, this passage is indeed memorable.

"Seeing is believing, but hearing is false. In fact, many times this is not the case. Even if you see, hear, or even experience it, it is not necessarily true. Philosophical truth may be true for you, but To me, it's not necessarily true." Gu Luobei's words were very convoluted, and few people heard it at the scene—everyone was immersed in Gu Luobei's last sentence, and it was even rarer that he understood it. .

But Christopher Nolan got it, and so did Teddy Bell. Teddy Bell's look at Gu Luobei is a bit complicated. From childhood to adulthood, he can always learn a lot from his brother. More often, when he sees his brother's deep eyes, he always feels that he has experienced Something he didn't know, this heaviness, was in the deepest part of his heart. Even if he is unrestrained, even if he is free, even if he does whatever he wants, the heaviness of his heart still drags him to falter. Teddy Bell's heart sank, and he raised his right hand. He originally wanted to pat his brother on the shoulder to comfort him, but in the end, his right hand just gently fell on the slightly thin shoulder.

Gu Luobei felt the pressure on his left shoulder and looked back at Teddy Bell, only to see Teddy Bell showing him a silly smile. Gu Luobei asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?" Teddy Bell whispered, "The movie is about to start, if you don't go in, you will miss the opening."

Gu Luobei then remembered that Teddy Bell had not seen this movie. Such a classic, it is indeed not to be missed, not to mention the afternoon to see the "believers".

"Sir, let's go here for today's discussion first. I'll go to appreciate your work first." Gu Luobei raised a big smile and greeted Christopher Nolan, "By the way, If you are interested, a movie called 'Death Illusion' will be officially released tomorrow, I believe it will not disappoint you." After speaking, Gu Luobei turned around and left.

Christopher Nolan only had time to say aloud to the backs of Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell, "Goodbye." Then he watched the two figures disappear at the entrance of the cinema.

Gu Luobei's pure English accent just now awakened Christopher Nolan's memory. He couldn't help clenching his right fist, and then let go of his fist regretfully. Christopher Nolan finally remembered that the teenager had seen it once at the San Francisco Film Festival. This unforgettable temperament, as well as the British accent of an elegant gentleman, also donated the filming of "Memento" , How could Christopher Nolan forget it!

Just now Christopher Nolan felt that the young man in front of him was very familiar, but because his attention was attracted by the content of what he said, he really didn't remember it for a while. The last sentence "Mr." made Christopher Nolan react. He is an Englishman himself. Naturally, he couldn't be more sensitive to British accents. "Bell." Christopher Nolan whispered the other party's name. I don't know the other party's full name, only know his surname "Bell", that's all, but...

"'Death Illusion'?" Christopher Nolan remembered the movie the other party mentioned before he left, maybe he should go and watch it, he looked back at his wife beside him. Emma Thomas immediately understood what her husband meant, smiled and nodded, indicating that it would be arranged tomorrow.

After Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell entered the movie theater, they joined the movie-watching army of "Memento". After the one hundred and thirteen minutes of the film was over, Teddy Bell fell into contemplation. This is indeed a good movie, a movie worth thinking about. It is absolutely rare that people who can clear their minds when watching this movie for the first time.

The liveliness of Park City during lunch time gave Gu Luobei the illusion that he was back in Beijing. The bustling crowds and the ups and downs of noise were rarely seen in the United States, even in the busy city of New York or at the Eagle Rock Music Festival. There is no such picture. The main reason is that Park City covers an area of ​​​​smiles and the personnel are concentrated, which makes Gu Luobei have this illusion.

Teddy Bell sat on the bench outside. On the one hand, he took up space, otherwise he would squat on the side of the road to eat; on the other hand, he was immersed in the world of "memory fragments" and had not yet come out. Gu Luobei walked into the big supermarket, ready to buy a piece of pizza and some drinks, even if it was lunch. There is no way. Now all the restaurants and fast food restaurants in Park City are full of people. Although the food in the supermarket may not be so delicious, at least the supermarket checkout is fast, so there are not so many people. .

At the food counter in the supermarket, after ordering the pizza, the pizza will be heated in the stove on the spot. After waiting for ten minutes, Gu Luobei turned back and walked over to the beverage counter. Eat pizza with beer or Coke. Gu Luobei thought about it and decided to buy Coke. I have to watch a movie in the afternoon, and leave the carnival to the evening.

"Damn." When passing by the beer area, Gu Luobei heard a whispered curse beside him. Looking at the beer area, and thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past two days, a smile could not be drawn on the corner of his mouth, but his footsteps did not stop. Keep going.

"Dude, do you know where you can buy beer?" A man's voice came from behind Gu Luobei, apparently the protagonist who was cursing in a low voice, "I mean, beer that really contains alcohol." After that, The man murmured again, as if complaining that there is no beer in such a big supermarket, what the hell.

Gu Luobei walked to the beverage shelf, took a one-liter bottle of Coke, turned around and said to the man, "Dude, it's not a wise choice to buy beer. Go to the main street, I remember. There was a room where there was still a party, and the alcohol was free."

Speaking of this, Gu Luobei paused and saw that the man in front of him also turned his head and turned his eyes to Gu Luobei. Only when he met the man's eyes, Gu Luobei's right eyebrow couldn't help but pick it up slightly, and then he said, "This is Park City, under the eyes of Mormon Church."

Only then did the man think of something, and he couldn't help crying, "God, look at my memory."

Today's second update, I'm still looking for the same thing, favorites and recommendations, hehe.
