"Hahahaha." The group of underage girls on the opposite corner laughed cheerfully, with their carefree attitude, as if they were recklessly enjoying a beautiful childhood, but the mature dress, rich makeup, The decadent figure, but the pure and clear laughter presents a completely different attitude.

They are about to sell their bodies, but don't know what that means. Such a sharp contrast adds a touch of desolation and chaos to the streets of the Bronx.

Renly's footsteps didn't stop, he walked past the traffic lights, and continued to move towards the opposite reaction of the group of girls, but there was a Starbucks on the right at a distance of twenty meters. Starbucks everywhere.

The smoky gray brick walls are matched with black columns, and the simple decoration style looks like an ordinary convenience store. Only the classic logo on the top reminds the passers-by that this is the most successful coffee in the world. chain store.

At this time, the interior of the store was lit up with cream-yellow lights, and there were a few customers sparsely cruising in it. At the long table by the window, a young man opened his laptop and was working attentively. There are some malicious eyes, but the young people are fearless, and they are obviously the indigenous people here; there are seven or eight gray stone tables distributed outside, in the original and rough construction site style, and they are not worried about the danger of being emptied in the middle of the night.

Renly's appearance did not attract any attention. Because similar figures can be seen inside and outside the Starbucks store, on the stone table by the door, there is also a homeless person who is sipping a cup of freshly-baked coffee. The layered dressing style looks a bit "Pirates of the Caribbean ” style, sat comfortably, and the staff did not come to drive him away.

Walking into the Starbucks store, Renly looked around, then walked out again, and finally found his target in the corner, walked straight over, and sat down opposite an old man wearing a gentleman's hat, the gray and white messy The long hair is like the tentacles of an octopus, and it sprays out from under the brim of the hat indiscriminately. The face full of vicissitudes has an exaggerated and funny expression. People who don't know why think it is a lunatic.

Seeing Renly sitting down, the old man widened his eyes, showing a slow excitement and excitement, "How is it? How are you feeling? How is the harvest? Do you have any questions to ask me? The assault on the police, you weren't there, were you? Did you go to the high school nearby? I always wanted to communicate with those kids, but every time they refused. Maybe, you can be considered their peers, they are more Would you like to communicate?"

Rumbling and crackling, as soon as I came up, I talked a lot, and the questions were one after another, without ventilation, and the feelings of urgency and anticipation were vividly explained. What's even more interesting is that he didn't mind Renly's safety at all, not even a polite question, but focused all his attention on "important things".

Who else but Tony Kaye?

Renly was used to Tony's urgency and focus. Imagine that this old man was ordered to interrupt the filming by the official in order to film the "Blackwater Shipping Company" and reveal the government/government responsibility behind the environmental problems. The United States was shot by the "Fourth Citizen", but the "Blackwater Shipping Company" was not able to complete the shooting, and the lethality can be imagined.

In other words, Tony is more desperate, more self-absorbed, more persistent, and more crazy than Renly. For Renly's proposal to come and experience it for himself, Tony was naturally more in favor of and more involved than anyone else.

"No, no, uh... no, no." Renly put the burlap sack in his hand to the side, recalled it carefully, said a series of negative words, then paused for a moment and nodded seriously, "Yes Yes, the answer to all your questions is, 'No'."

With such a neat and tidy response, Tony couldn't help being stunned for a while, and then sneered. He didn't even remember what question he had just asked. Before he had time to speak, there was an exaggerated roar from the street behind him. All the noise was drowned out.

Turning your head, you can see a colorful "luxury" roadster with a modified engine that makes a loud noise with the slightest step on the accelerator. There are three, four, five, six people sitting on it, all black, Like a stack of Arhats, the flowers were clustered together. At first glance, it was impossible to tell how many people there were. Everyone raised their hands high, let themselves fly, and shouted and screamed. The scene was very lively.

The sports car stopped at the intersection of the traffic light, and then they saw them whistling to the girls on the opposite street. kept reverberating.

Renly and Tony both turned sideways and looked over, the sports car slowed down and drove all the way, the black people in the car continued to tease/teasing with words, and the group of girls raised their hands without showing weakness. The middle finger, and even a young girl smashed her handbag, but the person in the sports car grabbed the handbag, accelerated, and went away.

The noise was only half a minute, but it quickly regained its calm. Renly and Tony looked at each other and fell silent for a while.

Tony slumped down heavily and leaned on the back of the chair. The joy and comfort in his expression were swept away, and he was stained with exhaustion. He rubbed his temples, and looked at Renly's expression through the lights in the store. The turbulent anger and the helpless sigh are mixed together, the contradiction and conflict are really indescribable in words, and there is a hint of helplessness on the corner of his mouth.

Renly met Tony's gaze, and he finally spoke first, half-jokingly saying, "I just thought you were going to rush straight up."

In fact, Tony had already stood up, his hands were clenched into fists, the boiling anger was almost uncontrollable, and he looked a lot more excited than Renly, but in the end, Tony sat down in despair, all the emotions on his cheeks vanished. , leaving only a face full of disillusionment.

Facing Renly's ridicule, Tony twitched the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't laugh, he could only let out a long, long breath, "They've already given up, what else can I do? You Never wake a person who pretends to be asleep."

There was a deep pessimism in that heavy tone, like the thick clouds that never dissipated during the rainy season, "It's not like you." Renly supported his chin with his fingers and looked at Tony seriously, that determined The tone of voice made Tony twitch the corners of his mouth.

"Of course. If everyone chooses to compromise because they cannot change, and is gradually rubbed off by society, then society will never progress. We should not let society change ourselves, but should change society through our own efforts. ." Tony understated when he spoke, not in a tone of great truth, but a sigh from the heart, "But the power of an individual is limited after all, I can't help everyone, don't talk about those corners that I can't see. , even if I see it, it doesn't necessarily help."

Tony shrugged, his eyes focused again, "To change the society, we need to awaken everyone's consciousness, let one person become a small group, and then let a small group become a large group, and finally complete the change. A director and an artistic creator, my work is my weapon, and it is also the meaning of my filmmaking. I hope that through my lens and my images, the audience can feel the truth of society. As long as one person out of a thousand viewers takes action, or changes his mind, then this is my victory."

Tony in front of him reminded Renly of Lu Xun. The man who changed China with a pen.

At the beginning of the birth of words, it was only used for recording, but with the development of time, it gradually developed more meanings, evolved into art, and influenced generations of people. This is true of literature, it is true of painting, it is true of music, it is true of film, and it is true of art, strictly speaking. The changes it brings are spiritual and one of the important driving forces for social progress and change.

It is undeniable that art has entertainment effects at the beginning of its birth, especially movies. By watching movies, people can feel the emotions of relaxation, joy, release, comfort, and enjoyment. This is the intuitive meaning of movies when they were born; but the reason why movies can be called the seventh art is because beyond the entertainment effect, it It can also be sublimated and shoulder a higher mission.

Like the album "Don Quixote".

While encouraging the production of commercial films, the creation of art films cannot be given up. Both are indispensable. That's why "Batman: The Dark Knight" is so sought after, it's no exaggeration to say it's the pinnacle of the 21st century's perfect blend of business and art. Until Renly was reborn, no other work had reached such heights.

"So, is this your original intention of filming 'Transcendence'?" Renly admired Tony from the bottom of his heart.

Although Renly has made four films so far, three of which are independent films, they are still only limited to the category of "movies", and more limited to the creator's own experience and ideas, and there is no way to get rid of them. Reality reaches the height of art. "Transcendence" is Renly's first work of art. Essentially, this is what makes the difference.

Tony pursed the corners of his mouth and did not answer, but continued to ask, "Is this what you feel after experiencing it yourself? What do you think of the Bronx, or rather, these people living in the slums?"

Art comes from life and is higher than life. Renly chose to live as a homeless man in the slums of the Bronx in order to truly understand Tony's original intentions. Now, he finally had a further feeling. This is something that cannot be felt behind closed doors and on paper. This is the breakthrough.
