No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 103 Feature Film Company (100th Chapter Commemoration~)

"Xiao Guan..."

"stop!"

Facing Uncle Lin's interception, Guan Ren hurried forward and attacked first:

"Uncle, I'm tired of chess. Let's talk about it another day. I've been playing Go lately."

In fact, Guan Ren mentioned playing Go a long time ago. He played two games with Xu Hui in the classroom.

This project has now been cancelled.

Because it is too troublesome, it takes a long time to download one plate, and there is not enough time during the break.

As for the scene on TV where the winner is decided even though the two players haven't finished playing chess on the full chessboard, Guan Ren and Xu Hui really couldn't understand it and simply gave up.

But even so, Uncle Lin still had a hold on Guan Ren's fate:

"That's just right!"

"?"

"Yesterday, Lao Fang just gave me a set of Go. Come and take a look..."

"Uh... no, I said the wrong thing."

Guan Ren changed his words decisively without changing his expression or heartbeat:

"I mean... military chess! I've been quite interested in military chess lately!"

"Oh? That's even more of a coincidence!"

"???"

"The day before yesterday, Lao Fang also gave me a set of military chess..."

"..."

walk slowly.

As expected of an old arts soldier, he has so many skills.

Although Guan Ren had reason to doubt that these chess pieces were definitely not sent by the old Chinese medicine practitioner Fang Ji.

But since the old man can do it, it means he is good at everything.

So Guan Ren finally walked into the guard room and sat down on the plastic stool.

------------

ten minutes later.

……

"Boy, are you saying that you don't agree with the concept of [writer's film]?"

"It's not about identification, it's just that I don't like it. The entire French New Wave movement can be said to be artificially created."

"Artificially created...what's the purpose?"

"Preset lineages for films, such as the concept of 'writer's film', are manufactured products of lineage."

"Then I still want to ask, what is the purpose?"

“Seizing the right to define aesthetics.”

……

The topic of conversation with Uncle Lin was still mainly about Western literature and art, especially France, which he had visited.

Guan Ren's answer was still perfunctory.

After all, he was preoccupied with Qingmei's family affairs, so he had no time to spare. So he just talked about whatever came to his mind.

But Uncle Lin still listened with great interest.

And as they chatted, Guan Ren was a little surprised, or even a little embarrassed, to find out that the old man also knew Marc Dorcel, a French "special" film company.

"Ahem... uncle, so you also..."

"Humph, stop talking nonsense, kid."

Uncle Lin groaned, half-smiling, stretched out his finger, and pointed at Guan Ren:

"The company had just been established that year, and I was still young. I only read a section of it as an internal reference. It's not the same as you."

Guan Ren nodded like pecking at rice:
“That’s…”

"By the way, you really don't have a girlfriend?"

"Tsk, why are you so gossipy, sir?"

Guan Ren sneered weakly:
"If I say no, then I mean no."

"real or fake…"

Uncle Lin was still a little suspicious:
"You're already a sophomore in high school and still don't have a girlfriend?"

"What you said..."

Guan Ren was at a loss for words and had to make an excuse:
"My goodness, times have changed! In the past, people were lucky enough to get into high school. After graduating from high school, they would basically talk about marriage, which was normal. But now, after high school, people still have to continue studying and pursue the vast new world beyond college. Of course, not everyone is in a hurry to fall in love."

Uncle Lin nodded upon hearing this, and glanced thoughtfully at the portraits of celebrities on the table, pausing on one and sighing:

"Young man, the world is vast and there is much to do..."

After expressing his feelings, he immediately changed the subject:
"But being a sophomore in high school and not having a girlfriend is kind of a loser after all."

"..."

Tsk, this old man...

Guan Ren's eyelids twitched, and he was too lazy to argue anymore. But it must be said that as he became more familiar with Guan Ren, Uncle Lin became more and more talkative.

Guan Ren also gradually realized that although the old man used to be an arts soldier, he should also be a man of temperament. When he was young, he must have been a hot-tempered and straightforward type.

Uncle Lin played chess with Guan Ren for a while and realized that Guan Ren was obviously worried today.

"Xiao Guan."

"Ok?"

Uncle Lin didn't look up, looking at the chessboard:

"We don't have much in common in our daily lives, so this friendship between us, regardless of age difference, can still be considered somewhat pure, right?"

"Well... forget it."

"If that's the case, then if you have any troubles, you might as well tell me, an old man. What if I can help you solve your problems?"

When Guan Ren heard this, he thought this old man was quite nice.

During the last fight, he seemed to be shouting to support me.

"Master, you are very courageous."

Guan Ren affirmed this, but it was still impossible to really expect him to do anything, but it was still okay to talk about it:
"Well, I've actually mentioned this to you before. It was the gangster father of the guy I beat up, Sun Feng, who owed money on his loan and didn't pay it back. And then there's my childhood friend Luo Xiaobei..."

……

Guan Ren kept talking and repeated in detail the situation he had mentioned briefly before.

Guan Ren also told him the information about "which place" that Uncle Lin had asked about before.

After he finished speaking, Uncle Lin had a blank expression on his face, only his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Guan Ren."

After a long time, he spoke again:
"To be honest, I have something bothering me recently."

"You said."

Unexpectedly, the old man also had troubles. The two of them complained to each other, and the atmosphere was like a barbecue party for middle-aged people.

"I have an old friend who is now in conflict with someone. The other party is very unreasonable, but my friend is a reasonable person."

"I see. A scholar meets a soldier."

"Yes, but my friend has some tricks up his sleeve. If he uses them to deal with the other party, the problem will definitely be solved... But if he uses those tricks, it doesn't quite fit his personality. What do you think he should do?"

"Well, that depends on the method used. For example, if you use it against that person, does it cross a certain line?"

"No, it's just a little...how should I put it, not very upright."

"Above and above board?"

Guan Ren looked disdainful, and thought of the time when he beat Sun Liang:

"Fair and upright means are used against fair and upright people. Sir, you've already said that the other party is unreasonable, so why are you still talking to him about fairness and uprightness?"

"Maybe my friend has his own principles."

"No, no, no, I think your friend has a problem with his principles."

Uncle Lin was happy:
"has a problem?"

"Yes, there is only one kind of person who can be honest and upright with everyone, and that is a saint. However, saints are rare in a thousand years. Is your friend a saint?"

"That's not it."

"So! Don't be too cautious about your methods when it comes to people who don't deserve it!"

Guan Ren thought about Sun Liang, and then thought about his stupid father, and felt very unhappy.

In this world, if you try to reason with people who don’t understand reason, you are either really stupid or you have other motives.

For example, some people who claim to be rational.

The main theme is to persuade people to be magnanimous in everything.

When you have a conflict with bad guys, they say, "You need to be magnanimous and not be petty."

When they have conflicts with women, they say, "You need to be magnanimous and not be too chauvinistic."

When you have a conflict with foreigners, they say, "You need to be magnanimous and not have nationalistic complexes."

In the words of the future, isn't this pure PUA?

What's more, most of them are not really rational people, let alone saints. They just pretend to be saints in the name of rational people and secretly take sides.

Do you think they have no stance?
They laugh at you for not being able to see their position.

"Forget it, I won't download it anymore. You can play by yourself. I'll go back and continue playing games with my childhood friend to relax."

"Ok."

Uncle Lin didn't stay any longer.

He stood at the door of the guard room, quietly watching Guan Ren's back as he walked away and disappeared under the building.

After a while, he took a deep breath and slowly took out a very old-fashioned, unbranded mobile phone from the drawer in the guard room.

beep--

Soon, a phone call came through.

Uncle Lin's tone was deeper and more solemn than Guan Ren had ever heard. His entire demeanor was completely different from his usual easygoing demeanor.

"Hello...um...it's me, an old man...nothing, I just want to tell you something about grassroots work in townships..."
