Chapter 11 Ten Moms Brothers Movies

If I say that I like my younger brother, then I am really sorry for my conscience. This reason is a long story, but I have to say it. I think I was born after my mother gave birth to four daughters, and then two younger sisters came. At that time, I had an advantage of one to six, and my status in the family was at the height of the sky. Nothing can be added.But the good times didn't last long. Although I was powerful like never before, I was invincible. I was destined to have a baby brother. His birth caused me to plummet and fall off the throne. It's really annoying, and I'm not happy when I see his sneaky eyes and greasy face.

We usually call my younger brother "Ah Ba", but my mother doesn't seem to like this name, she wants us to address him respectfully as "Eight Young Master", and when she calls her younger brother, she has many names, except "heart", "baby", "Golden Buchang", "Little Mynah" and more than a dozen regular names are not excluded, and she often uses new names to call this little rascal: For example, when her mother came back from watching "Peter Pan", she kept calling her younger brother. Do "Peter Pan" and keep calling until another movie (such as "Xin Bada Seven Voyages to the Demon Island") is over, so she happily comes back with a new name, called brother Do "Xin Bada".At least five days, as long as half a month, you will hear "Xin Bada", "Xin Bada", "Xin-ba-da" all day long!

The ancients were stubborn in choosing goodness, but my mother was stubborn in choosing movies.My mother feels dizzy and limp without watching movies for three days. Life is boring. Movies are my mother's lifeblood and her only hobby.My mother said that she has three lives: the first life is herself; the second life is her younger brother, and the third life is the movie. Here, one is indispensable, and it is very rich in serial characteristics. Because "life" is at stake, mother has to like her younger brother as much as she likes movies, or like movies like her younger brother, although mother is right in her heart.There is no preference for any one of the eight children, but we all know what mother has in mind.It grows in the armpit, and only occasionally scolds Xin Bada unless it is "a thousand miles away".

The so-called "sweeping thousands of miles" is a basic method of mother scolding us. As long as any of our eight children offends mother, mother will adopt the strategy of "punishing one and doing eight", calling names one by one and scolding us. Different, each has a set of rhetoric.There is absolutely no sense of orientation, it is really a sky net that is vast and sparse, and everyone is exquisite in all directions.For example, Miss San made mother unhappy, and mother didn't directly scold Miss San directly. She started with the yellow coat that the eldest lady shouldn't have bought, and then went downstream.Condemn the second lady for not leaving Heben's head, and so on, until the big nose of Miss Mo's boyfriend No. 6.This method of scolding can not only achieve the merits of partial generalization, but also achieve the effect of using one example to achieve the eighth effect, scolding in accordance with their aptitude, repaying complaints directly, and everyone beating their drums for a small attack, without losing the ancient poet's light grievances and anger demeanor.But there is one exception, the insidious Xin Bada often slips through the net, because he is very well-behaved, as soon as he sees his mother "beginning to swear", he rushes to the kitchen to boil water, and waits until his mother finishes swearing. When the gun was pointed at him, he would bring in hot black tea from outside the door on time, with that kind of respectful face, trustworthy and loyal attitude, innocent appearance, and the black tea that raised his eyebrows , The four kinds of offensives immediately turned mother's arms into treasures, cleared the clouds and mist and saw the blue sky--smiles all over the face.After being overjoyed, my mother immediately changed the subject, drank tea and talked about "Xin Bada's filial piety touched the heavens", and praised Xin Bada as a chapter of the twenty-four filial piety; the first person after participating in it; "Since the birth of the people, there is no such thing!" ...One night I peeked at Xin Bada's diary, and he wrote:

Today, the little one did his old tricks, and the boss was defeated by the "black tea tactic" again, and he turned to me absurdly.But my mother seems to have a preference for the number "eight", and she was not satisfied with only scolding seven people, so she brought the old man out to make up for it for a while, who is the boy?It is really unfortunate that I have worked hard for me.Feeling and poetry, into six unique poems: They were all scolded, The only exception is Hachi, mother creates son, Son Conquers Mom! Half of my mother's autobiography is a history of film development.Mom has been watching movies since she was a teenager, back in the days of silent movies.For forty years, my mother has seen color from black and white; from real people to cartoons;Not only that, but my mother also saw Garbo's white hair; she saw Chaplin's old expression; she saw Valentino's demeanor to death;This illustrious historical background made her easy to obtain the throne of "authority" in the film, and her mother was not humble. Her motto was: "Everything in the world, everything can be waived, and when it comes to movies, there will be no descendants!" But the film industry With each passing day, new people come out in large numbers, which makes mother very hard.Once when I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw her wearing presbyopic glasses, sitting in front of the lamp, reciting Xinwei, and practicing the exercises. I tiptoed behind her to look, scary!It turned out that what she read was a list of names and resumes of new American singers!Its devotion to emotion, diligence in exertion, and painstaking efforts are truly worthy of being a model for the ages!Although mother does not forget that newcomers strive for the top, she can still see that she has a crush on the stars and hates these rising stars inadvertently.She hated Presley the most. She had intended to criticize him, but Miss Six and Miss Mo fell in love with Elvis Presley and became crazy about it. Mother alone is no match for two, not to mention derogating new stars is easy to be labeled as old-fashioned or unfashionable. hat, why bother?So my mother softened before long, and when the two daughters were talking about Elvis Presley's military history, she occasionally interjected and said, "Yes, Maoyu has a good voice, and he has a few tunes that he learned from Ping Crosby." And his nose is very similar to Charles Bowie!" His tiredness of old age not only dances on his brows, but also rocks on his face, like a white-headed palace lady talking about Tianbao!Once she watched a silent film of "Flood Shenzhou", and she talked a lot when she came back. The silent film brought her back to her youth. She was very excited that day. A line in "Pipa Xing": "Sometimes silence is better than sound!"

Mom is the best at watching movies, and she can also play the most aesthetic "empathy" in movies.With forty years of experience accumulated, she wrote an article "Silhouettes of Movie Fans" on a whim in one day, in which a paragraph says: The way to watch movies is to be able to put yourself in the shoes of the stars. You must be able to worry about the stars' worries first and not enjoy the stars' joys. , but when the movie started, I suddenly became the heroine!She is angry, I am angry; she works hard, I sweat; she is determined to die, I am in pain, it must be like this, so that you can understand and get the three flavors, then you must be ecstatic, deep into the state of selflessness, lost your soul, Self-sacrifice for others, those who cannot self-sacrifice will not have the pleasure of caring about "shadow" and self-pity!

My mother mimeographed this masterpiece and gave it away to everyone, and I was lucky to get a copy. Since then, I have a guide in my hand, and I am always at a loss, and I am no longer afraid of being laughed at as a layman! My mother is a new figure in the 1960s. She hates the old and refuses to accept the old the most. She thinks that her father once said to her righteously: "Who said your mother is old? Compared with Marlene Dietrich, she is still a child!" Mom I hate people asking her age. Her age is still unknown. I only heard that she is fifty years old, but she secretly told Mrs. Zhang that she is only forty-five, and she has not broken this record for three years. According to preliminary judgment , the future is also very likely to freeze.Actually speaking, which female star in the world does not hide her age?There are celebrities who can be used as evidence and help, and the mother is very strong, so she can feel at ease!

However, despite my mother’s age, she is as young as those grandmothers and celebrities with black hair, and her interest and joy in life are far beyond that of a down-and-out literati like me.I remember that when she watched it for the twelfth time, she went to the cinema at nine o'clock in the morning and didn't come back until nine o'clock in the evening. From this kind of elegant and profound enthusiasm, how can ordinary mothers compare with it?What's more, my mother has repeatedly done amazing things. When there is a literary blockbuster, it is lingering, and sitting in the movie theater for seven or eight hours is a commonplace thing.

The biggest regret in my mother's life is probably that she was born at an untimely time and could not devote herself to the screen, but what I can comfort is that life is a big stage, and there are actors and audiences.My mother said that she could not "smile cleverly" under the mercury lamp, so she had to "look forward with beautiful eyes" in the cinema.In spite of humiliation, my mother not only managed to become a great audience, but also trained the six daughters and Xin Bada to become big movie fans, all of whom are well versed in the family history of movie stars and the age of the screen.The most terrible thing is that I, the eldest son of "there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and not loving movies is the biggest", disappointed her the most. Fortunately, my younger brother, Shanquan, and his mother, Zhi Ke Shao Jiqiu, seem to expect themselves to be a future star, which often makes my mother have high expectations.Once my mother actually broke the practice of not believing in Taoism, ghosts and gods, and she burned incense and worshiped in front of Lafayette. I saw her throwing herself on the ground and falling down, chanting words in her mouth, saying:

Other mothers hope that their son will become a dragon, but I hope that my son will become a movie star. If God wants my son to become a dragon, then please become a Wang Yuanlong! In the past, Meng Ke had a mother, which is well talked about in history; now I have a mother like this, why should I regret dying?Xin Bada's mother!I am convinced! (postscript) When several newspapers and magazines in Taiwan and Hong Kong repeatedly besieged "pompous youth" and "cultural protection", I seemed to have to say a few words when I published this article. I think that if there is such a thing as "people's hearts are not ancient", it is that later generations do not have a sense of humor than the ancients.Sima Qian's "Funny Biography" is a clear example.Liu Feng was caught by it, as if a person who didn't write articles with a straight face was treason!If you don't write hard articles, there is no value!

I don't understand: why do you have to be sanctimonious when writing an article?Teaching others to read will cause stomach problems?Why is it a sin to write "game articles" in their eyes? Can't "game articles" "carry the way"? I want to use this "novel" as a demonstration for literati in the 1930s.When they are blowing their beards and staring and throwing their hats around, you might as well appreciate the plot in the depths of this "novel".You don't have to believe in the facts, and you don't have to believe in them, as long as you can guess what I'm satirizing.After you understand it, think about the words of Confucius' "remonstrance" and "there are five meanings... I follow his style (satire)", and you should be surprised: it turns out that Li's article is also in line with the way of a sage! The above full text and postscript were originally published in No. 56 of "Wen Xing", published in Taipei on June 1, 1962.After it was published, in the eighth issue of the eighth volume of "Political Review" published by Ren Zhuoyi on June 25, there was a so-called "Debate on behalf of Zheng Xuejia on the vernacular issue", which pointed out: "Li Ao is against Ye (Qing), Zheng ( Xue Jia) was unable to answer the article, so I had to go to Biezhi to write "When was Ji Cuiling born?" and his "Mother Brother Movie". In the second issue of the third volume of "Zong", there is an article "General Review of the Cultural Issue Controversy", which also falsely accuses: "The westernized Taibao, who was fully supported by Hu Shi, also went to another branch to verify the "Jiji" When should Cuichan be born? " talked about his "Mother·Brother·Movie"." On October 3rd, Hu Qiuyuan announced the accusation against me at the press conference. The author wrote "Mom, I'm Convinced", and claimed to be a cultural protector and went to talk about syphilis." The above words are all episodes after the publication of my "Mom·Brother·Movie".On the other hand, my "mother" wrote in a letter on June 14, saying: "After reading your masterpiece, we have the same feeling--the body is shattered. Fortunately, the afterword comforts us a little." Next to the bus stop, I heard three girls chirping about this "wonderful article".Here are my miscellaneous postscripts about these little things, and here are the little things, chatting about Zhimoyuan.
