Chapter 187 Art Works in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction(1/2)
"Stop talking nonsense, just come with sister." Ning Chunyan said.
Okay, I'm a sister again.
Wang Zixu followed Ning Chunyan, thinking that unlike her sister, she sometimes felt like a "mother" - of course, this refers to the "mother" in literature - careful, worried, and trying to be biased
Sometimes it makes people feel safe on your side. It's a pity that Wang Zixian
He didn't get along with his mother much in his life, otherwise he could analyze this image more deeply in literature. And he couldn't let the young and energetic Miss Ning know that Wang Zixu was so slanderous. She would definitely say with anger that you are married.
It’s only the prince who makes you feel like a mother.
Speaking of which, it seemed that he had not heard Ning Chunyan say "you married prince Xu" for a long time. It seemed that he had never heard his wife mention this famous saying since she disappeared.
She should be trying to avoid arousing his sadness. This Ning Chun Banquet looks careless and has no taboos, but in fact she may be a sensitive girl inside. Wang Zixu thought so. Just like Xiao Mengyin, even if the woman looked at
Unlike a writer, at least she carries a pen with her.
"I have a question," Wang Zixu said as he walked away, "Chen Qingluo is not the kind of person who allows herself to be manipulated."
"Who dares to manipulate her?" Ning Chunyan felt that he said nonsense.
"So, how can I let her go to Qingshan Square tomorrow? She will definitely not go without a strong reason."
"You actually don't even have these tricks to coax girls?"
"Even if I can coax others, I can't coax Chen Qingluo."
Ning Chunyan thought for a while and agreed: "That's right. You can't coax him."
"What should we do?"
"Cold salad."
When you are running around like a headless fly, you will often get such a wonderful answer from someone who has nothing to do with you. Cool. It's really great. I can't wait to kill you - usually an angry person will answer like this,
Since Wang Zixu generally respected Ning Chunyan, he didn't say that.
Ning Chunyan seemed to be in a good mood, her steps bounced, her skirt fluttered, and she hummed a song. After humming for a while, she said to Wang Zixu, "Go to a place with me first, and I will teach you tomorrow."
How to say.
The place Ning Chunyan was talking about was on the second floor of the shopping mall next to Qingshan Plaza. In a dark corner, there was a video store with a suffocating appearance. On the sign was a string of English words called Random. If Ning Chunyan hadn't brought him here,
, Wang Zixu felt that he would never visit this place in his life.
Ning Chunyan pointed to the billboard at the door and moved her onion-like fingers along the Chinese characters on the sign. Wang Zixu followed her hand and read it word by word:
"... Couples who check in for two days can purchase collection CDs at a half discount. The event is limited..."
After reading it, Wang Zixu said: "I understand, consumerism trap."
Ning Chunyan patted his shoulder: "Go in and take a look first."
The two of them walked in and came to the shelf of the so-called "Collector's Edition CD". Wang Zixu picked it casually and took out a CD. They were shocked to see that on the dark cover, there was a bright red silhouette of Tyrannosaurus Rex bones printed on it. It turned out to be
The original first edition CD of "Jurassic Park".
He flipped through it a few times, and there were all kinds of movies, including "Red Hot Chili Peppers", "Shawshank Redemption", "Star Wars", "Tom and Jerry", and even signed English versions. After watching it, my head felt dizzy. What kind of gameplay is this?
?
"Are you excited?" Ning Chunyan turned to look at him, "My dad is an old movie enthusiast and often buys discs from this store. Do you have a CD player at home?"
"Have you read "Art Works in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction"?" Wang Zixu answered the question with a question.
"I haven't read it, but I have studied Benjamin's works."
"Traditional art has authenticity. In addition to artistic value, it also has worship value. However, in the era of mechanical reproduction, the mass production and endless reproduction of art works have narrowed the distance between art works and the public, causing the 'halo' to dissipate and the artistic revolution to disappear quietly.
The era of artistic fission began, and art works became props for entertaining the public..."
Wang Zixu took the disc and looked at Ning Chunyan: "Is this considered reversing the course and making mechanically reproduced works regain the value of worship?"
Ning Chunyan shrugged: "It's nothing more than a process of disenchantment and re-enchantment. It's inevitable in history. It's not a reversal. Just ask if you like it?"
"I want this David Fincher signed copy of Fight Club."
Ning Chunyan smiled sarcastically: "I knew you would like it."
Wang Zixu held the disc carefully and returned to the original question - he did not have a CD player at home, but he estimated that after buying this disc, he would have one at home.
The boss asked him to leave his name and contact information on the counter. After he finished, he looked at the two of them: "Can you two stand here and compare your feelings?"
Ning Chunyan stood over decisively, but Wang Zixu hesitated.
"Come here quickly, don't let me stand here alone." Ning Chunyan squeezed out the words from the corner of his mouth, "It's embarrassing for you to let me stand like this alone."
Wang Zixu had no choice but to nudge him over, and Ning Chunyan handed it over to him with half a heart gesture with his left hand.
Wang Zixu was even more hesitant. The consumerism trap was indeed a trap. He didn't say it before he came in, so he had to show his sincerity. Seeing Ning Chunyan standing straight with her legs together and her hands hanging in the air, he felt that this was somewhat treasonous.
"Hurry up, I won't despise you." Ning Chunyan urged.
Wang Zixu had no choice but to put on a fake smile, compare notes with Ning Chunyan, and clock in at the counter.
...After a while, Wang Zixu went out with a note from the boss. Ning Chunyan told him, don't worry, I didn't leave any photos. Even if your wife goes shopping and enters this store one day, it won't cause anything.
An unpleasant misunderstanding.
She also said, you can use this excuse to bring Qingluo here tomorrow - don't worry, you don't need to show off your feelings when you come for the second time - and you can buy her milk tea as a reason to return her favor. After drinking your milk tea, she will
Stop holding grudges and apologize to her again.
She said that Chen Qingluo's character was like that of a dog. But overall, Wang Zixu still tended to believe her point of view. Chen Qingluo did have a tendency to "eat people and have a short mouth", and he discovered it not long after he got to know her.
That was also in high school. Ever since Xie Dongyu came to the school for a book signing, under Chen Qingluo's suggestion (or bewitchment), Wang Zixu and her both lied about not bringing any money and became accomplices in not buying books, causing Wang Zixu to
Later, I was severely criticized by the teacher.
After that, even if the two knew each other, sometimes they would look at each other for two seconds when they met in the corridor, but they were not just acquaintances and could not be said to be acquaintances. It was just that Wang Zixu had a deep affection for this pretty girl.
I am deeply impressed and will pay more attention to her usually.
But when I was a student, especially the students at that time, everyone was very shy. If you take the initiative to talk to the opposite sex, you always look suspicious, especially if the other person is such a beautiful girl. Beautiful girls always attract attention, you go
Talking to her will make you look very big and ostentatious. Besides, he and she are seated so far apart that it would look very deliberate to look for her from far away.
Therefore, although Wang Zixu always had the urge to get close to her (this urge would become particularly obvious every time they met in the corridor), he did not dare to really make any extraordinary move. Of course, he later found out that
He was not the only boy who was eyeing Chen Qingluo, some even secretly went to give her small gifts.
In short, since they exchanged a few words on the playground under the sun that day, he had no further interaction with her for two whole months. So when he adjusted his seat later, he was surprised to find Chen Qingluo
He was actually sitting next to him, which gave him a sense of surprise that the contents of his dreams suddenly became reality.
He was feeling itchy for a long time that day and didn't listen well to both classes. Finally, he got a chance to talk to Chen Qingluo at the end of class:
"Freddy, I saw it."
Chen Qingluo turned around, her fair face seemed to be filled with aura: "What is Freddy?"
""Freddy the Golden Hamster"." Wang Zixu said, "I have watched it."
Looking at Chen Qingluo's expression, it was obvious that she didn't remember what he was talking about.
Wang Zixu pointed his fingers and explained: "Didn't you say that on the playground that day? Xie Dongyu copied this book and I said I would read it. Do you still remember?"
Chen Qingluo slowly raised her face, with a thoughtful expression on her face, and spoke in a long voice:
"oh--"
"Have you remembered?"
"I remembered."
"From the look on your face, you look like you haven't remembered anything."
Chen Qingluo didn't say anything. It seemed that she really didn't think about it.
Wang Zixu suddenly felt very depressed.
Of course he knew that this was normal. Even if it happened two months ago, even if he read a book or read the plot two months ago, he might forget it after two months. Not to mention so many things happened in the past two months.
Chen Qingluo is very busy every day, and it is normal for her to forget what she, a strange classmate whom she has only met once, said.
But Wang Zixu still felt a sense of confusion in his heart: This feeling is like a pair of life-and-death lovers in a Korean drama. One of them has lost his memory, and only one remembers the other (even though they are not lovers); it is also like an old father raising his daughter.
Talking about how she used to poop and urinate when she was a child, but her daughter has no memory of this (even though they are not father and daughter). Wang Zixu felt such a sense of loss in his heart.
He continued to get close to Chen Qingluo: "Do you like the book "Golden Hamster" very much? After reading it, I thought it was really good. Which character in the book do you like best? The mouse or the cat or the hamster brothers, or Sophie or
Master John?”
"I read those when I was a kid, so there's no need to discuss the plot. I'm not interested in discussing children's books."
Chen Qingluo was very cold and rejected people thousands of miles away.
Wang Zixu felt very hurt.
Before self-study the next morning, he left a handful of White Rabbit toffees on the table.
At that time, Wang Zixu was having a baby. He was 1.6 meters tall in 1st year and already 1.8 meters in the third year of high school. He created a miracle. Therefore, he sometimes suffered from hypoglycemia. At that time, he developed a habit of carrying a handful of candy with him.
As a habit, take one when you feel dizzy.
