Ruyizhai

Wu Xingchen fell into deep thought, and Ruyizhai said, "The fourth story is about movies." He glanced at Wu Xingchen, and said, "In this space, if you don't say anything, readers won't know about you. thinking about something."

Wu Xingchen looked at him and asked, "What about you, do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Of course I don't know, your thoughts belong to you and your silence." Ruyizhai said, shaking the soot.

Wu Xingchen blinked twice: "Then do you want to know?"

Ruyizhai said: "However, this author likes to make readers confused about what the characters are thinking. She writes the dialogues of the characters, but also implies that the characters have duplicity."

Wu Xingchen smiled: "You are talking about him from left to right."

Ruyizhai said: "In order not to let readers misunderstand you, you'd better express your feelings directly, otherwise they will either give up this book, give up on you, or use all their energy to find metaphors, find metaphors, and they can eat and drink anything you want. Analyze why."

Wu Xingchen was drinking brandy. After swallowing a sip, he looked around, raised his glass and said, "Sorry, I really just took some random wine, it doesn't mean anything."

Ruyi Zhai sneered: "Take it casually? Let me ask you, what other wine is there next to the brandy bottle?"

"Whiskey and vermouth, I've already drank these two wines just now, I want to try brandy." Wu Xingchen said timidly.

"Oh, the case has been solved, which means that you are a person who wants to keep trying new things, which indicates that you are likely to like the new and dislike the old." Ruyizhai said.

Wu Xingchen wiped his face, and replaced the wine in his hand with whiskey: "Whiskey is pretty good, I'm not a person who loves the new and dislikes the old."

"Why not absinthe? Do you have a problem with absinthe? Does it bring up any painful memories for you?"

Wu Xingchen shivered, with two glasses of wine in his hand, Ruyizhai said: "Why is it wine? Wu Xingchen, why don't you drink tea, don't drink coffee, and always drink alcohol? You are chasing after your nerves are anesthetized, and you are in a state of bliss. Is this implying that you will become an alcoholic in the future? What wonderful experience did alcohol bring you, so you choose alcohol again and again, want to relive old dreams?"

Wu Xingchen put away his wine glass, coughed, and said: "If it takes ten years to return to the old place to complete the idea of ​​the story, the fourth story is incomplete, and I haven't been back to the war camp yet. "

Ruyizhai laughed loudly, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Just because you haven't gone back now, doesn't mean you won't go back in the future."

Wu Xingchen said: "Wait a minute, I thought of one thing." His eyes became alert, and his sitting posture became cautious: "I broke the wall in the story and found you, and then we began to dig into this story. The theme, this should be from the author's arrangement, right?"

Ruyi Zhai was silent.

"Then why not arrange this plot after I return to the war camp? This way the fourth story is also complete, so that the structure of all the stories is unified." Wu Xingchen said.

Ruyizhai said: "Maybe your breaking the wall is not in the author's plan, after all, she never had an outline."

"Outline?" Wu Xingchen looked at the two words floating behind Ruyizhai, "What do you mean?"

Ruyizhai said: "It is a high-level summary and summary of the direction and context of the story, the conflict of characters, and the theme of expression." He spat out, "Look, it's Western-style grammar again."

Wu Xingchen nodded and said: "I see, it is precisely because she has no outline that there is such a space behind her, and her characters can have the space to do whatever they want."

Ruyi Zhai said: "It is precisely because she has no outline that her life can easily get out of control."

"Does she often get out of control?"

"Of course she doesn't think so herself."

Wu Xingchen said: "I know, the authorities are confused but the bystanders are clear."

"The reader probably sensed it," he said.

Ruyizhai said: "Readers can't feel it either."

"Oh?"

"Because she is very good at going around in circles, she can go around and come back." Ruyizhai said, "Didn't I say it in the last chapter, your memory is too short, is this a sequela of brain replacement surgery?"

Wu Xingchen supported his head, drank coffee, took vitamin capsules, and said, "I don't know, there is a problem with my memory, they become very incoherent and very jumpy." He looked at Ruyizhai, "I drink coffee. It doesn't mean anything else, it's just taken casually."

After a pause, he said again: "Okay...the coffee does smell very good, and it tempted me."

Ruyizhai stroked her chin and said, "It seems that she intends to practice stream of consciousness on you."

Ruyizhai took out a piece of paper, cleared his throat, and read: "It was originally a term in psychology and philosophy. It means that consciousness is not something that connects one piece at a time, but flows continuously. Later, it became widely used in the field of Western literature and art." A special expression method and technique, such as 'stream of consciousness,' 'stream of consciousness movie'." He said, "Excerpted from the online Chinese dictionary."

Wu Xingchen looked at Ruyi Zhai: "You mean that the jump in my memory is because she wants to practice the writing technique of stream of consciousness?"

Ruyi Zhai said: "The characters' thoughts, every move, every word they say, any hobby, the way and angle of viewing the world are all in the service of the author's expression technique and the theme he wants to express."

Ruyizhai said: "Just like a movie, the light in the movie is to show a certain state of the character, the food in the movie is to convey a certain emotion, and the moon that appears in the movie is not to tell you that it is a month. At night, it is a hint of your human loneliness, human loneliness, human desire for perfection, longing for something unattainable, something that does not belong to this world, all the natural phenomena and natural landscapes you see in movies are In order to create an atmosphere, you saw a house burning and saw a lot of smoke, just kidding, how could there be so much smoke when the house burned? Didn’t you see a staff member on the scene holding a gas tank in front of the camera constantly Smoke."

Wu Xingchen said: "Movies are still different."

Ruyi Zhai said: "Of course, the movie limits your imagination to the imagination of the film team, but there is no limit to your imagination. The only thing that confines your imagination is yourself."

Wu Xingchen said: "I don't understand, whether it's a movie or not, does it have to express some theme and convey some emotion? Can't it just be a movie, just?"

"People in the 21st century don't understand why you can be so emotional."

"Of course I'm emotional. Isn't loving you just an emotion?" Wu Xingchen said while looking at Ruyizhai.

"Emotions, basic explanations, first, mood, and second, experiences arising from people's attitudes towards things." Ruyizhai looked at the online Chinese dictionary again.Wu Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and asked, "Are you charged according to the number of words?"

Ruyizhai nodded, and said, "Are you afraid that readers will scold us for cheating on word count and money? It doesn't matter, scolding can't be done to us, if you want to scold us, you can scold us as well."

"It can be seen that you really don't like her." Wu Xingchen sighed with a wry smile.

"None of her characters like her, just because she wants to try to describe some stories that may happen in extreme situations, her characters have to go through transvestism, fire, disfigurement, moral kidnapping, emotional kidnapping, transformation Become a sadist, become a masochist, kill and set fire, commit suicide, and repeatedly lower their own moral standards, and some characters have no moral integrity at all."

Wu Xingchen patted his clothes: "It seems that my experience is nothing compared to other characters."

Ruyi Zhai said: "She has no feelings for the characters, they are just her tools of expression, and we are just her tools of expression."

"Should the author have feelings for the characters?"

Ruyizhai said: "At least you should love them?"

"You do not know?"

"I do not know."

"Should characters have moral conduct, high moral standards?"

Ruyizhai said: "It is possible not to, but the author must be prepared to be scolded bloody and speculated that he is mentally unhealthy."

"Does the character's moral standards represent the author's moral standards?"

"Of course not, but the author has to be prepared. Readers' anger and dissatisfaction with the characters and the story will be transferred to the author." Ruyizhai said.

He added: "The love they have for the characters and the story transfers to the writer."

Wu Xingchen looked at Ruyizhai, and his voice softened a little: "You look a little tired."

Ruyizhai shook his head and smoked.Wu Xingchen said: "Is the fourth story about hallucinations? You did spend some time in the war camp with me, right? Did you wake up before I woke up in the nursing home? Were you also sent to the nursing home?"

Ruyi Zhai said: "Yes, but I escaped and was looking for a way to get out of the war camp when I ran into you."

"Did you know that the water and food in that camp were drugged? It was the extract of the phoenix tail. We were all poisoned and had hallucinations. In the hallucination, I killed people. I kept digging pits. That pit It's big and deep, but you don't need to eat or drink, so you shouldn't be hallucinating."

"You did kill people, and we did dig holes all the time."

Wu Xingchen was sad for a while: "So those are not hallucinations? But who poisoned them? Do you know that when I escaped from the war camp, I found a cave near Paris, and the Eagles also found it?" That cave, it is said that there is a laboratory, someone extracts Pteris vulgaris for experiments, it should be that person who poisoned the camp, what is his purpose?"

Ruyi Zhai smiled.Wu Xingchen said, "What are you laughing at?"

"Readers should be very happy, and finally get back to business, don't need to read our complaints, or should I say the author's complaints? You know, when we complain here, complain about this and that, they will still blame the author."

Wu Xingchen continued: "Did you know, in fact, the terminal has a background database, for example, when you see a sentence, how will your brain react, for example, what kind of emotions will a book or a movie make you feel? Someone, I don’t know who it is, anyway, someone observes these background data to determine which data information can be put into the terminals of ordinary people. What is the standard for putting it in? Can’t it cause negative emotions? Who is reviewing these things? ?”

Ruyi Zhai said: "The truth of this world..."

He and Wu Xingchen looked at each other, and Wu Xingchen asked him: "When did you hide here? I remember I was digging a hole and passed out. When I woke up, you were no longer there."

Ruyizhai said, "I'll leave after you faint."

"You left me in that pit alone?"

Ruyizhai nodded.Wu Xingchen said, "It's true that I blocked a bullet for you, right?"

Ruyi Zhai said: "What's the matter? Are you implying that I will repay my kindness? Should I promise you with my body if you blocked a bullet for me?"

Wu Xingchen didn't speak, but clenched his fists.

"You are willing to die for me is your business, you are willing to love me, you love me is also your business, I don't need to be grateful to you, let alone love you, do you understand, Wu Xingchen?"

"I understand." Wu Xingchen lowered his head and said.

"you're lying."

Wu Xingchen raised his head and said, "Yes, I don't understand..."

"Why am I responsible for your narcissism?"

"I love you is narcissism?"

"You love me is not narcissism, you love me, but also hope that I love you is narcissism, wishful thinking."

"I understand." Wu Xingchen said, "You need someone to give silently, and I will do it. I will not disturb you and love you silently, is that okay?"

Ruyi Zhai frowned: "That's not what I meant."

Wu Xingchen said: "No, I can't do it."

"I'm lying again. I don't want to love you silently at all. I love you. Of course I hope you love me too. I also want you to stay only by my side. I'm going to put you in a box and carry it with me." , I'm going to tie you up, I'm going to tie you up, I'm going to cut out your tongue, I'm going to gouge out your eyes, I'm going to be your walking stick, I'm going to humiliate you, look at you now, without me, you If you can’t do anything, then I’ll hug you again, show consideration for you, and make you depend on me completely, and you can’t leave me.”

Ruyi Zhai asked him: "Is this your real thought?"

Wu Xingchen nodded, Ruyizhai stood up, walked around the sofa, and stood in front of the fireplace to smoke.There is a word hanging in front of the fireplace.like.Love wobbles in the firelight.

Wu Xingchen looked at Ruyizhai and said, "If you don't talk here, I can't know what you're thinking."

"I was thinking I love you."

Wu Xingchen said: "When I blocked a bullet for you, you were unmoved. I wanted to humiliate you, but you said you loved me after hearing it?"

He said, "I thought you didn't love anyone, you didn't love people..."

"Of course I love people, I just don't like new humans, my lover's cunning, insidiousness, viciousness, and all the turbid emotions, because I am a cloud of turbid air between heaven and earth, this is my setting, it is my instinct... No matter how much I resist, no matter how much I run away, that’s how I am.” Ru Yi Zhai said.

Wu Xingchen said: "Is it possible that this is a book of love from the beginning to the end, which has nothing to do with the seven deadly sins or the truth of this world. It only has something to do with I love you and you love me too. The first story is about Our encounter, the second, the third, the fourth story are all about I love you, you are indifferent, the fifth story is about me losing you, I am incomplete, I am lost, I am looking for you...these Stories have nothing to do with arrogance, anger, greed, eternity, meaning, meaninglessness, it's just that I love you...and now you say you love me too."

Wu Xingchen trembled, as if...

Wu Xingchen said viciously, "Get out of here!"

The fire in the fireplace was still burning, everything was quiet, "Love" fell to the ground, and the two looked down at it.

Wu Xingchen took a sip of eggnog and asked, "Will all detectives collect their foreshadowing in front of the fireplace?"

Ruyizhai said: "I thought this author would have some new ideas. What's the point of always writing about love and the absolute possessiveness of one party for the other party? Can she not write anything else? Where science fiction can play Isn’t it a lot? Crush utopian fantasies, triumph of individual heroism, breakthrough of group spirit, praise of the brilliance of human nature, depicting the insignificance of human beings,” he sneered, “her level is just like this, and she will always be like this .”

Wu Xingchen added some firewood to the fireplace and said, "Why don't we ask the author himself?"

Ruyizhai was a little surprised: "I didn't think about it."

"Then how are we going to meet her?"

Ruyizhai said: "There is a way, maybe you can try it." When he saw Wu Xingchen, he reached into the fireplace to put out the fire, and said, "Put the fire out."

They put out the fire and everything was plunged into darkness.

In the darkness, a pair of eyes appeared, struggling to find something.

Ruyizhai and Wu Xingchen jumped into these eyes.
