"Teddy, have you ever thought about the true meaning behind the trip?" Evan Bell did not directly address the issue of the script, but opened up another topic. Teddy Bell didn't speak because he knew that Evan Bell needed to listen, not his answer. Sure enough, Evan Bell went on to say, "Travel allows me to travel all over the world and see countless amazing natural beauty, but it can't hide the loneliness behind the trip."

​​

Teddy Bell's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his eyes when he looked at Evan Bell became deep, because he thought that Evan Bell loves traveling so much, so is it because he is always being Surrounded by loneliness? Does it mean that he and Catherine are not enough in Evan's life? This thought worried Teddy Bell.

​​

Evan Bell did not rush to explain, but looked at his brother with a faint smile, "I have always enjoyed the free air brought by travel, at that moment, open my arms and let the raging wind penetrate Your own shoulders will give people the illusion of flying." Evan Bell leaned on the sofa and said very leisurely, "But I will not deny that the journey of travel is also lonely, although traveling In the process of traveling, I will meet countless passers-by, meet countless friends, and even be surrounded by surging crowds in any city, but none of this can hide the fact that these people are just strangers and passersby , from one stop to the next, you will become a person again."

​​

In fact, this is the so-called life circle. When a person stays in a fixed place, he will slowly meet new friends, and then form a circle. This is the case with family, love and friendship. But travel is a kind of wandering, constantly changing in countless places. Maybe someone will accompany you on the journey, but when you move to different places separately, you become alone again. Therefore, it is difficult for people who have been traveling all the time to form a fixed life circle. Even the ALICE is only connected by the data line of the Internet, and everyone is scattered all over the world.

​​

"Carnival is actually the loneliness of a group of people." Evan Bell said this sentence with a smile, but it made Teddy Bell more worried. Evan Bell was sitting on the sofa, but Teddy Bell was sitting on the sofa. -Bell felt that his younger brother seemed to disappear at any time, and even the smile on his younger brother's face couldn't make Teddy Bell settle down. At this time, Evan Bell gave Teddy Bell a punch with a smile, "So, I have been reluctant to travel for too long, because I will miss my circle, even if this circle may only be you and Catherine, Now add Eden and the others, but this small circle gives me a real sense of presence and makes me clearly feel that I am alive."

​​

Be free or die; but if there is no root, the wind of freedom will soon tear the soul to shreds. Evan Bell II, as a human being, knows this all too well.

​​

Hearing Evan Bell's words, Teddy Bell's worries in his heart were a little relieved, but he was still not at ease. His brows were still furrowed, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where How to start. Evan Bell smiled and took his hand back, "Teddy, your future wife must not be annoying me."

​​

In the United States, people are used to living independently. There are not many examples of children living with their parents, let alone brothers. But Evan Bell's soul actually still has oriental traditional thoughts, and the Bell family has always been closely united because of the special experience from the past to the present, which made Evan Bell more adaptable.

​​

Only then did Teddy Bell really relax. In his heart, love and friendship are not as good as family, and family is the most important part of him forever. Looking at his younger brother with a tired smile on his face, the smile on Teddy Bell's face fully bloomed.

​​

"This is true about travel, but why not about work?" Evan Bell then brought the topic back to the discussion triggered by the script, "If there is such a job, there are more than 100,365 days a year. Ninety-fifths of it needs to be spent on business trips, or more precisely, on planes, so what will happen?"

​​

"Maybe he and his family haven't sat together for many years to eat, and he can't even attend holiday parties; maybe he doesn't have a regular girlfriend, because no one can accept being with a public trapeze;" Evan- "Maybe his best friend is the flight crew, and he knows all their names, he knows their family members - even the names of their children, but he and these so-called The only intersection of friends is the time when the flight is in the air. Each of us has a circle in our life, and the life circle of a traveler may be a homeless base, just like the slate city in "Wild Survival," And his life circle is above the clouds.

​​

Teddy Bell clearly understands what Evan Bell means. People who have been on the road for a long time, people who have been on business trips for a long time, they are all people without a fixed life circle, and loneliness has become the biggest footnote in their lives. .

​​

"Actually, isn't this the biggest footnote in modern society?" Evan Bell's words extended the topic from travel and flight to life, "As the development of cities becomes more and more advanced, urbanites become more and more The more unfamiliar you are, you don’t even know whether your next-door neighbor is a man or a woman. Except for your colleagues at work, it is difficult to expand your life circle again. Everyone is trapped behind reinforced concrete walls. , walking alone and lonely towards the end of life, but few people want to change this reality, just passively go with the flow."

​​

This is a social problem, and it should be precisely said that it is a common problem among all countries and all strata in modern society. However, the development of economy and civilization is getting faster and faster, and the distance between people is getting farther and farther.

​​

"And the birth of the Internet has intensified the evolution of this process." Evan-Bell said in depth, "Now people don't have to meet at all, they only need to communicate with each other through the phone and the Internet. The warm hugs have been It has become a cold computer screen, so people's means of communication are getting more and more unfamiliar. What's more exaggerated is that when the computer has all the functions of life, the distance between people has evolved into a series of numbers behind the Internet. Between the reinforced concrete walls, the numbers form a huge net that solidly isolates everyone."

​​

This is the social reality of the 21st century. The existence of computers and the birth of smart phones have made people accustomed to using keyboards to communicate. The cadence of words, rich and varied expressions, and vivid limbs are all hidden in the computer. And behind the mobile phone, it turned into a rushing digital symbol, and built a bridge of communication, but these cold digital symbols have no signs of life, only make the distance between people lose temperature and eventually become cold.

​​

Evan Bell once saw such a joke, saying that a group of people attended a party, and then decided to go to KTV to sing, but after entering the KTV, everyone ordered a song, but no one sang and no one spoke. More than a dozen people sat side by side on the sofa, all of them were playing with their phones with their heads down, and they didn't talk to each other, and they all enjoyed it. Later, someone asked and found out that they were chatting through text messages and chat software on their mobile phones-even if their friends were sitting next to them, they still chose to communicate with only a cold medium on the mobile phone, which is really dumbfounding. But behind this so-called joke lies an increasingly unfamiliar reality among people in society.

​​

In fact, these problems are one of the sources that make the whole society more and more indifferent and alienated, which has caused countless sociologists to have heated discussions and disputes.

​​

"The root of the script I adapted this time tells such a story." Evan Bell finally turned the topic to the script, "I saw this novel last year, and I was very impressed, not only because I was so Passionate about traveling, and also because I am often on planes for work. This novel is about a man who is trapped in the clouds and has a special career as a career transition consultant , To put it bluntly, he is actually an expert in layoffs. This job requires him to be numb and even ruthless. In the face of the disaster of the financial crisis, large companies that were originally impersonal have become more and more cruel in order to reduce their scale, and the male protagonist is a large company. The butcher's knife in his hand."

​​

"Such a special background setting is placed in such a special background in such a special era, telling a story that could not be simpler, which makes me feel very interesting. Strictly speaking, it is not only interesting, There is something worth pondering." Evan Bell said with a smile, Teddy Bell could clearly see his excitement in his younger brother's eyes, and it could even be said that he was gearing up and couldn't wait. "I wanted to take over the script as early as the end of last year, but the issue of adaptation rights encountered a strong opponent, and George Clooney also wanted to adapt the script, so Michelle spent a lot of effort. .

​​

Needless to say later, Michelle Hathaway took nearly a year before and after, and finally brought good news and brought the adaptation rights to Evan Bell. So Evan Bell has not waited for "Inception" to finish, he can't bear to start preparing for the adaptation of this novel, and now he wants to invest in the next work regardless of the fact that the previous work has just finished a week of shooting.

​​

Teddy Bell knows that Evan Bell is not so easy to be persuaded, and the script that can make him tempted must have something special. Now I hear that this story is not just for Evan Bell He was so excited, he was completely excited. Teddy Bell laughed, "Then what's the name of this script?"

​​

"'In the clouds." Evan Bell's mouth curved into a small arc, with a little bit of cunning and a little bit of pride.
