"It's okay. Qiu Feng was stunned." Yang Fei smiled slightly.

Chen Mo Yanran smiled: "I just said, how could you cry like a strong person?"

Yang Fei asked, "What are you doing?"

Chen Mo said: "I just came out of the library and borrowed a good book. Have you read it?"

Yang Fei looked at her and said, "Awesome Gatsby, I've seen it."

Chen Mo said: "This book is very special. When I first started, I read it a world famous book several times, but after reading it, I threw it away at the beginning, and I always felt that I couldn't read it. I suddenly read it in today."

Yang Fei said: "To understand this book, you must first understand the background of the story."

Chen Mo nodded: "Tell me, I don't understand."

Yang Fei said: "The 20s of this century were a short and special period in American history. It is known as the noisy era in history, which refers to the decade from 1919 after the end of World War I to 1929 before the great economic collapse of the United States."

Chen Mo said: "It turns out to be about this time. That's equivalent to our Republic of China period."

Yang Fei said: "This era is very special. The United States is at a historical intersection of the old and new alternating between the old and the new. The booming development of capitalism has allowed the United States to quickly enter the industrialized modern society from agricultural civilization. Transportation, minerals, and construction industries have expanded rapidly, electrical appliances and automobile manufacturing industries have suddenly risen, automobiles, electrical equipment, household machinery, processed food and ready-to-wear have begun to enter families, bringing unprecedented comfort to many Americans' lives. Real estate transactions and stock markets are particularly active, and some speculators have become nouveau riche overnight in this type of gambling industry."

Chen Mo said: "Isn't that a microcosm of our current era?"

Yang Fei said: "The amount of wealth has become the standard for judging whether a person is successful or not. People began to blindly make money, make quick money, make more money; pursue becoming richer and become richer. At the same time, American hedonism, Spencer's theory of evolution and James' pragmatism are popular in the United States. The traditional Puritan moral concepts and the ideas of diligence and thrift advocated by religious beliefs are gradually replaced by consumer hedonism such as pursuing personal wealth and enjoying material life."

Chen Mo said: "Really, I think we live in the 20s of the United States!"

Yang Fei said: "Gatsby lost his first love Daisy. He firmly believed that it was because he was not rich enough, so he decided to become a rich man. A few years later, he got what he wanted. So he wanted to recover Daisy, who was married to a businesswoman. He packaged himself as a handsome, authentic gentleman and sang every night in a luxurious villa. However, Daisy was no longer the Daisy in the past. Once, Daisy drove in a state of upset and ran to death her husband Tom's mistress. Gatsby took the responsibility for driving to protect Daisy, but Daisy had made up her mind to abandon Gatsby. Under Tom's instigation, his mistress's husband shot Gatsby to death. Gatsby eventually became a victim. Gatsby did not notice the mocking smile on Daisy's face until his death."

Chen Mo thought for a while and asked, "So, why do you say that Gatsby is amazing?"

Yang Fei said: "Because Gatsby is a real person, a pure person. He treats love sincerely and romanticly, full of fantasy. For the sake of Snow White in his mind, he strives to create a golden palace and lively gatherings, but he has no interest in all this pleasure and noisy. When dealing with people, he is sincere, pure and kind. He can also lie and make money by improper means, but his purpose is pure and kind. It is precisely because it is mixed with selfish and dirty people that Gatsby's pure love and romance seem more noble and transcendent."

"Is that true?" Chen Mo smiled, "Why do you need to use the word "Yes" when you talk about lying and making money?"

"Is there any?" Yang Fei laughed, "Do you think I'm talking about myself?"

Chen Mo held the book in his arms and looked at him with his head tilted: "You are even more amazing than him!"

Yang Fei touched his chin and thought to himself, how can I compare to Gatsby?

If I were Gatsby, you would be Daisy.

But you did not marry a businesswoman.

Yang Fei's eyes suddenly became gentle.

Chen Mo felt his scorching gaze, his pink face flushed, and he raised his hair with some restraint, and said with a smile: "Listen to your explanation, I will understand this classic book more easily."

Yang Fei said: "You were right just now. America in the 1920s is our present."

Chen Mo said: "So, will there be many amazing Gatsbys in our era?"

Yang Fei said: "There must be some. I just don't know if there are any great writers to record the pulse of this era. Oh, I have to thank you."

Chen Mo asked in confusion: "Thank me?"

Yang Fei said: "You said, isn't it fun to adapt this story into a movie?"

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Isn't anyone adapting it for such a famous one?"

Yang Fei said: "There has been adapted, but we can make it into an oriental feature film."

Chen Mo said: "I think it's better to shoot your story! The audience is more interested in your success story!"

Yang Fei laughed and said, "I say it seriously. Movies, like words, are also a means of recording the times. They use artistic methods to express the strongest voice of a certain era. The images expressed by Gatsby's story are similar to our modern society. I think that if this story is orientalized, it will definitely resonate."

"Well, I don't understand movies, but I understand you. If you say yes, that's definitely OK."

Yang Fei looked at her pure eyes and thought to himself, do you really understand me?

"I shared a book with you, but you thought of a movie that makes money." Chen Mo blinked playfully and smiled, "Do you should invite me?"

"Yeah, OK. What do you want to eat?"

"No. I want to watch a movie, is that OK?"

"Oh, yes." Yang Fei said, "When will you have time?"

"Just tonight."

"I'll go to the cinema to see if there are any good movies. I'll buy the tickets first."

"No, the school auditorium is playing movies, don't you know?"

"Ah? What movie is played?"

“Sunny days.”

"Starring Xia Yu and Ning Jing? It's very classic!"

"Classic? You used the word wrong? This movie was released on September 1st! A new movie can't be called a classic, right? Well, such a work that has been tested by time is called a classic!" Chen Mo patted the famous work in his hand.

Yang Fei smiled helplessly: "Okay, then look at the sunny days."

The movies played in the school are a kind of welfare, two yuan per ticket.

Chen Mo happily stretched out his little finger and pursed his lips, "Don't regret it! Let's hook it!"

Yang Fei: “…”

Set a small goal first, for example, remember in 1 second:
