It's sunny in Los Angeles on June 7, and after a big weekend at the box office for the "Toy Story 3" premiere, all the focus on Monday was on Evan Bell. Of course, it's not because of the excellence of "Toy Story 3", Evan Bell can't be seen in this cartoon, whether it is a screenwriter or producer; but because of the work of Pixar and Eleven behind "Toy Story 3" room, because of Evan Bell, who led Eleven Studio to the top step by step.

The Avenue of Stars was bathed in the scorching sunshine at 8:00 in the morning and welcomed a crowd of more than a thousand bases. It poured into the Vine Street in the middle along both sides of Slan Street and Sunset Boulevard, turning this usual tourist attraction into a continuous stream. Crowded.

Although it is still June, and there is still a short time before July, the peak of tourism in Los Angeles, with the advent of summer, the City of Angels has opened its arms and began to welcome tourists from all over the world. As one of the landmark attractions, Starlight No one wants to miss the avenue. Even if it is only eight in the morning, there are still a lot of tourists around. When the tourists see such a turbulent crowd rushing towards the Vine Street, whether it is out of curiosity or conformity Psychologically, many people have stepped forward to follow the direction of the crowd.

Among them, Li Mu is one of them. After graduating from university at the age of 24 this year, Li Mu found a good job in the magic capital, with a good salary, a large company with an excellent background, and a thriving new department. , it all seems like it couldn't be more perfect. But the 9-to-5 work day after day soon made Li Mu lost in the steel forest of the city. He couldn't find the purpose of his life, he didn't know the meaning of his work, he just followed the society in order to prolong his life. Living in accordance with the law, Li Mu couldn't find any motivation in such a day.

The boring desk has no color, the crowded and regular buses and subways have no vitality, and the tedious and dull work has no sense of accomplishment. After returning to the company after the Chinese New Year this year, he fell into a regular night of regular overtime. He stood in the office. Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, he could see the bustling lights of the whole city, but he couldn't find his place. He doesn't belong here, and the rented apartment is just a foothold in the city; he doesn't belong to his hometown either, and the life in a small county with mountains and rivers cannot open up a future for him...

Li Mu suddenly lost confidence in all this. What is he going to do next? Just like what the family requires, buy a house, get married, have a child, family life, then firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, then mortgage, car loan, credit card debt, then baby's milk powder and diapers, and then shoulder the responsibility of two families... This is the "rule" of society. In the future, it seems that everyone lives like this, one cycle, another cycle. But Li Mu couldn't find any meaning, it was just living for the sake of life, no happiness, no satisfaction, no happiness. This kind of life is not what he wants.

But what kind of life does he want? Li Mu didn't know.

Leaving work? As for living expenses, not to mention the future house, car, and wife, but to support myself, changing a job is not necessarily more satisfying than my current job, and my salary is not necessarily going to increase. Or start your own business? Not to mention whether there is a capital issue, the point is that he does not have such a plan himself, not to mention that starting a business is not that simple.

In the final analysis, he was still stuck with the word "life", looking ahead and looking back, holding back, wanting to break through the constraints, but lacking the courage; wanting to break out of the sky, but no direction. This kind of life made Li Mu feel very tired.

Li Mu doesn't know if everyone has such an idea, or if he is too maverick; Li Mu also doesn't know if everyone who has such an idea has put in practice and found a way out, or if he finally returns to real life and continues Repeat day after day.

That night, Li Mu didn't leave the company immediately, but after finishing his overtime work honestly, he dragged his tired body home. After returning home, Li Mu did not sleep, but found a movie recommended by his friend to try to rest his tired brain. This movie called "Survival in the Wilderness" was recommended to him by his friend in 2008. But at that time, he had just graduated, and then he was looking for a job, adjusting to the workplace, and devoting himself to life. He didn't even have a spare time to watch a movie. Although it's ridiculous, it's the truth. Li Mu found out that after graduating from college, he never walked into a movie theater again. It's really sad.

The impact of the film "Survival in the Wilderness" on Li Mu is undoubtedly huge. He is not sure if he has the courage of Christopher McCanders to abandon everything and return to nature, but he is very sure: he does not want to be This kind of life continues to be shackled. Although he does not know whether he can find a way out in the future, at least he wants to struggle and see.

Oh, struggling to see, what a pitiful and pathetic phrase, how many people are tightly bound by life, and then follow the routines established by society, they should consider marriage at the age of 26, and at the age of 30. Before the age of 35, I had to make plans for my children. After the age of 35, I started to work hard for my children and my family... This is the convention. It seems that if you don't follow this routine, it is a big rebellion. Therefore, most people have compromised and choose to follow this routine, but they have no idea if this is what they want. Going with the flow, this seems to be the safest arrangement, and even the idea of ​​"struggling to see" will not appear in my mind, just let the ropes of life entangle myself effortlessly.

Li Mu decided that he would struggle to see, even if the result was unknown, but he wanted to see the result after struggling.

That night, Li Mu wrote a letter of resignation to his boss. He was impulsive, because he was afraid that when he calmed down and was controlled by reason, the idea of ​​"struggling to see" would vanish. He needed this impulse, even if it was impulsive. is the devil.

But the surprise is that after sending the letter of resignation impulsively, Li Mu did not regret it. On the contrary, he was relieved. Although the future is still a fog, life is no longer a stagnant water. The boss retained, Li Mu insisted, went through the handover and resignation procedures. After all these actions were completed, it was already a month later, but Li Mu found that even if the impulse was the devil, he still enjoyed it, and his thoughts became more and more firm. , the step forward is more and more firm.

During this month, Li Muhua tried his best to persuade his mother, but he still didn't get his father's support. Then he packed his bags and set out for Yunnan with a deposit of 30,000 RMB. After leaving China, he set foot on foreign land for the first time in his life and chose Vietnam to settle down.

This is a very miraculous thing. When Li Mu stepped on the foreign land with his cloth shoes, he felt the solidity of the land and breathed the air of the foreign land. His whole body was only the weight of the bag on his back. Feeling unprecedented ease, this is not a physical feeling on the body, but a liberation from the depths of the soul, this kind of happiness almost makes him indulge in it.

Starting as a rusty backpacker, Li Mu didn't know how to arrange a reasonable itinerary, how to save money, or even how to apply for a visa, but when Li Mu arrived in India, he encountered robbery, encountered thieves, experienced scams, tried walking , challenged to ride, only a month later, Li Mu has become completely different.

Although Li Mu had to work in India for two weeks due to problems with the planning of the travel expenses, this time allowed Li Mu to see a different face of the world, and his persistent communication with his father finally paid off. The behavior supported it, and it became the motivation for him to keep going.

After passing through Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey all the way, Li Mu set foot on European soil. Although he had encountered many difficulties in seeking a British visa because of his "bad record" in arriving in Iran, he still managed to circumnavigate Europe. After a lap, pedaling the British pedals came to North America.

During the whole journey, Li Mu first read the real story about Christopher McCanders, and then learned about the story of the protagonist and director Evan Bell of "Survival in the Wilderness". Only then did he realize that he was in the entertainment circle of the money-loving entertainment industry. Among them, there is such an outlier as Evan Bell. With the deeper understanding of Evan Bell, especially after watching the film directed by Evan Bell, Evan Bell's music has become Li Mu's most faithful partner in his journey.

Compared with the works starred by Evan Bell, Li Mu prefers to watch the works directed by Evan Bell, because as a director, Evan Bell can always integrate his own thoughts into the works, which is like a The huge library, with endless knowledge for people to spy on, made Li Mu the first time in history to have an emotion called worship for the "entertainment star". Of course, compared to entertainment stars, Li Mu is more willing to use the word "artist" to describe Evan Bell This is more appropriate.

After arriving in the United States, Li Mu walked very slowly from New York on the east coast to Los Angeles on the west coast, until today he arrived at the City of Angels. In fact, he didn't have much interest in Los Angeles at first. A city full of so-called "tourist attractions" is actually not interesting, because it is full of tourists, but it loses the real flavor of these attractions. If you really want to appreciate the rhythm of a city, live here, integrate into the life of the locals, and live a week or two, that is the best choice.

But because of Evan Bell's relationship, Li Mu was still curious about Los Angeles. In addition to the summer popcorn commercial blockbusters, there are actually independent art films in the food cooked by the Hollywood movie factory. It made Li Mu excited.

"Evan Bell!" The shouts from the crowd on the Avenue of Stars made Li Mu involuntarily step forward and follow the crowd.
