Chapter 2289 Gotham Music Festival (twenty-eight)
"I don't know how to describe it." Christopher's tone became lowered. He lowered his head slightly and pursed his thick lips tightly. It was obvious that he was emotionally turbulent in his heart.
"The conflict between us is not as simple as writing a few offensive lyrics in the song." Christopher finally admitted, he said: "We want to look forward to a better future, but Tupac always looks back to the past. "Suffering, violence, injustice, I know it exists, but we have to solve it."
"My dad always told me that if we want to win, we have to stand high, and we can use any means to do that, and now I have it, I'm popular, everyone is watching."
"I think I'm getting closer to changing something, but he calls me a traitor. Don't you think the two of us should do the opposite?"
Christopher's tone was full of doubts. He said: "Doctor, you may think that all black people who rap must be from the streets. They have not learned well since they were young. They either sell drugs on the streets or rob stores. and pedestrians.”
"I admit that I am like this. My mother can't afford the life of the two of us by herself, so I became a drug dealer in the neighborhood very early. This made me the first pot of gold, and I was also influenced by Punishment, a long time in jail.”
"I'm not proud of this, but I have to say that without the money, I wouldn't have the luxury to engage in rap. This society has taken too much from us, and we just have to find ways to get it back."
"Tupac is different. Although he may have some unspeakable past, he was probably brought down by the bad atmosphere in certain neighborhoods."
"The conditions of his family are not good, but at least they can support him to go to art school. Can you imagine? He has studied classical music, can dance, and even participated in concerts in Baltimore. He is not a traditional black man, at least he is not a black man. I’m not a stranger.”
"He has something that I envy very much. He can easily squeeze into the upper class society. He can gain power and change everything. Even if he doesn't change much, he can always help some people. He doesn't have to be like me. It’s hard work to get up from the bottom.”
"But now that I have climbed up, he should understand me better. Now that I have a voice and a reputation, I can speak for many people and change their lives. This is what I want to do next. Made on that album.”
"I'm going to start getting straight to the point, I'm going to let the world know what they did to us, and that's why I worked so hard to get to where I am today, and all he saw was that I gave in to the wave of pop music, and he I thought I gave up my voice just to make money.”
"I admit that the wording of the album I released before was not that powerful. After listening to my father's words, I began to pay attention to the tunes and added some pop elements, but this was just a means."
"Why can he ask me to tell the truth from beginning to end like him? What capital do I have to be like him and not compromise on commercialization at all and just follow my own scriptures?"
"I thought he could understand me, but the fact is that he doesn't understand at all. Black people at the bottom don't have so many choices. We just have to make money first. Without money, we have nothing."
"He didn't understand that our starting points were thousands of miles apart, and how much effort it would take for me to run to his starting point. He just accused me of not having the right way of running for no reason, and he was also stuck in the same place. If he refused to go there, he would have easy access. higher."
"He misunderstood me superficially without waiting for my time, and I have to say I was very disappointed and sad for a long time."
"But what puzzles me even more is his approach. His view of our situation is so pessimistic that he feels he must sink among us and repeatedly denounce the suffering like a real black man at the bottom. And violence helps us.”
"But in fact this is our world, these are our rules. People at the bottom have their own way of living. We don't need his sympathy, we just need him to do something more efficient, but he doesn't."
"He is overly indulged in pessimistic sympathy, like a philosopher and thinker. I don't understand what makes him like this. I can only say that his choice to get on this boat is a big mistake. This is not how we solve the problem. This will not solve the world’s problems.”
Christopher poured almost all the wine in the glass into his mouth. Realizing that he had lost his temper, he had no choice but to wipe his mouth, grinned and said, "Sorry, doctor, just pretend I haven't seen you." Come on, the champagne here is really good. ”
Schiller showed a smile and said: "The problems you mentioned are always universal. Maybe you have not thought that a world-famous super rich man has done the same thing."
Christopher was immediately interested and asked, "Who?"
"Bruce Wayne."
"Wow."
Schiller looked away and said: "I think you have heard that such a huge change in Gotham is inseparable from the world's richest man, but in fact he has also gone down the wrong road."
"Of course he knows that the lives of the people at the bottom of Gotham are miserable, and the first solution he comes up with is to become them."
"Oh, my God." Christopher smiled and raised his hands and said, "Don't tell me that he fell down from the top of the building and said this is the so-called life of the bottom. Please, we are not It popped out of the cracks in the rocks.”
"Then he realized that and chose to go another route, and then you have the new Gotham that you see."
"Many people believe that if you want to improve the lives of the lower class, you must join them, live like a real poor person, and then see how the poor can change the world."
"But in fact, different people in this world are in different positions. Anyone who rashly intrudes into other people's territory will receive a blow to the head, whether it is sudden upward or downward."
"People who are stunned by this stick will always miscalculate and exaggerate the difficulties of the lives of the people at the bottom. This has certain advantages, that is, it makes them more motivated to change the situation, but it also has disadvantages. After all, people They are emotional animals, and everyone will feel pain and despair when they think about how bad the world is."
"It cannot be said that they are not strong, because through their own experience and clear understanding, they realize that the world is filled with despair."
"This is an explosion of empathy that can almost simultaneously feel the suffering of the people at the bottom of the world. Every organ in the body exaggerates these feelings. They are lost, depressed, depressed, until they collapse."
"Those who can survive are heroes, but even heroes can hardly avoid it. They need to get through this period, but don't forget that this road is inherently full of obstacles and there are countless pairs of malicious eyes staring at you. Everyone in the past.”
"When they are trapped in a depressed mood, they will inevitably become sluggish in thinking and unresponsive like ordinary people, which gives opportunities for vicious beasts lying in wait on the roadside."
"They will seize on every weakness exposed by the heroes, pounce on them with all their strength, and try every means to bite off every piece of their flesh, causing them to lose too much blood and be unable to reach the finish line."
"Those heroes who have left their names in history have survived all this, but there are only so many of them in the whole world. It is conceivable that countless people have fallen on this road."
“Some of them, who come from better backgrounds and have to learn to understand the suffering of the people at the bottom, often have more sensitive empathy organs than the general public who are exhausted by life, so they are more likely to be overwhelmed by these emotions. "
Christopher's hand tightened on the glass and he said, "Do you think Tupac was in this mood?"
"I can't be sure because I haven't met him, but I need to tell you that often the more people like this, when they survive this kind of disaster, they will burst out with stronger motivation than anyone else and can do anything. More than anyone else, the more suffering you empathize with, the more you risk your life. Countless heroes have proven this."
"In addition to truly understanding the suffering of the people at the bottom, they also have an upper-class perspective. They are not limited by class, have more comprehensive abilities and a vision that is more in line with the background of the times. This will give them greater opportunities than others. , to create a great cause that belongs to them.”
Christopher took a deep breath and straightened his back. The dizziness caused by the alcohol gradually dissipated in his brain, replaced by a kind of excitement with rapid thinking.
"I have to go talk to him." Christopher nodded and said, "No matter what, I want to know what he thinks."
After saying this, Christopher was about to walk out of the room, but at this moment the security guard at the door stopped him, and everyone in the room turned around.
The bright lights of the cruise ship illuminated the plank road at the pier, illuminating the dark road surface into silvery white, and then was crushed into tiny pieces by the waves. The moment the searchlight passed by, people saw the mysterious figure on the side of the big ship. The name - "Daxizhou".
"Getting on board!"
Accompanied by a shout from afar, Schiller, who was standing in front of the waiting room window on the second floor, saw the guests on the first floor flocking towards the plank road. Under the guidance of the reception staff, they stepped onto the deck of the ship and then entered. Go into the cabin on the first floor.
Schiller saw some familiar figures among the many guests. He put the wine glass to his lips and smiled. Tonight was destined to be a lively sleepless night.
"Doctor, what are you so happy about?"
A familiar voice sounded behind Schiller. Schiller turned his head and saw Bruce. He sighed and said, "If I didn't take the initiative to find you, you'd better not take the initiative to come to me. I think this is a matter of adults." Common courtesy.”
"I don't think so." Bruce took out the invitation he received, and slowly moved the finger holding the invitation to the name of his challenger. His eyes seemed to hope that Schiller would give an explanation. .
Schiller saw a name written there in cursive English-"Roman Sionis."
