Chen is the real name of this 26-year-old girl. The meaning of the word "again" may be similar to seeing "One More Bottle" printed on the back of the bottle cap when drinking Coca-Cola. There is no such thing as too much good and one does not avoid bad things. Throughout the interview, this girl kept mentioning that she is a "very" person. childish" person. The world never rejects frank childishness, but only rejects naughty and entangled adults.
Childish: Foodie
“After eating, ordinary young people complain: ‘I’m so stuffed to death’, but senior foodies put down their chopsticks: ‘I’ll take a break.’”
p>Recently, Chen You has been struggling hard internally. Should she go into seclusion to write a manuscript or go shopping? The seclusion lasted only 24 hours, and her longing for the outside world turned into a limerick: "The date of your return has not yet been announced, braised in red Braised chicken with eggplant oil. How much sorrow can you have, and grilled fat beef with cumin?” Chen You’s bold words of determination to retreat are still in his ears, and Chen You also asked fans to monitor him on Weibo. Worrying, the bibimbap served in a coffee shop in the city center has been "tempting" her. She has a manuscript for this book but is about to face a deadline. To eat or not to eat, that is the question.
Unfortunately, the book Chen You is writing is about food, at least a large part of it. This is a book co-authored by Chen You and the content is "99 Reasons to Fall in Love with Chengdu". The partner is male and is responsible for describing his feelings about Chengdu from a male perspective, while Chen You is responsible for describing Chengdu from a woman's perspective. When Yibin girl Chen You thinks of Chengdu, her mind is filled with all kinds of fly restaurants. "The proprietress of Juecheng Taro Chicken is really pretty, and the food is delicious. Another example is the small restaurant in Xiaotong Alley. I have feelings for them because I have confided and cried to friends there... and the food is also good. "Eat." Even if Chen You only wrote 49 of the 99 reasons to fall in love with Chengdu, 30 of them would be related to food.
Childlike: Constellation
"I am a Gemini, what about you?"
The interview has been going on for half an hour, and Chen was patient with the reporter's questions. She was answering enthusiastically, but it always felt like she was hesitant to speak. Finally, Chen You couldn't help it anymore and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, what is your zodiac sign?"
After receiving the answer, Chen You became much more relaxed in a second. She explained a little embarrassedly: "I'm a zodiac sign, by the way, I'm a Gemini." Chen also said that her obsession with zodiac signs has reached a terrifying level: when meeting strangers, if she can't do it within 5 minutes, She will be uneasy if she can determine the other person's zodiac sign. "For example, when a stranger talks about being very focused at work, I will guess whether he is a Capricorn. If the other person's speaking style is more jumpy, I will guess whether he is an Aquarius? This is almost my obsessive-compulsive disorder. , knowing the other person's zodiac sign, so that I can quickly adjust my status and cooperate."
If the zodiac sign makes sense, then Chen You, a Gemini, does live a "Gemini" life. She didn't want to be restrained and refused a stable planning job. On the other hand, she always felt unsteady after making a living by screenwriting and writing books, so she found a job that didn't require punching in. On the other hand, she was extremely homebound and claimed that she didn't go out easily. , while worrying about whether to go further on the next trip. For Gemini, travel and getting away are of considerable significance, and for Chen You, the first word that comes to mind when traveling is not freedom, but getting lost.
“My sense of direction and memory are very poor.” Chen You explained: “It’s so bad that it makes people nervous.” Not long ago, Chen went to Lijiang to play again, and he forgot everything within a few minutes after leaving. He knew where he was and couldn't find his way back to the hotel. As a last resort, she had to turn to the "omnipotent Weibo" for help. Fortunately, netizens finally solved the problem for her, half blaming and half crazy. Another time, Chen was completely lost in an underground passage with eight exits in a certain city. "I felt that every time I walked back to the center of the underground passage, it changed directions. But an hour later, I tried to find it. The result of the road is to appear at the same exit every time."
Chen You, who believes in astrology, believes that this mysterious theory vaguely determines her view on mate selection. "I'm going to put it bluntly, no matter how handsome men are who are Taurus, Aries and Virgo, I won't consider them. If I meet a Leo man, I will give him a 40% favorable opinion out of thin air." This is supported by history. Chen You had been unrequitedly in love with his best friend for seven years, and he was a Leo. My ex-boyfriend is also a Leo.
Childlike: Procrastination
"Procrastination in its late stages will produce some strange psychology. There are only 14 days left, so I will spend the 13 days like a holiday first."
Every procrastinator needs strong external force to "recover", and Chen You is no exception. The first script she received in her life was about Mao Zedong's relics. Before forming a team of screenwriters, the director conducted an open recruitment, and those who were interested could submit their works for selection. Chen You, who is still a junior majoring in TV directing, has already written some short stories. With the intention of giving it a try, she compiled a work and sent it to the director. Soon, Chen received another notice from the director, asking her to try out a script for an episode. "It was a try anyway. I simply wrote a script based on my own ideas that included animation and scene reenactments." A week later, Chen received another call, asking her to fly to Changsha immediately. This time, there was no mobile phone signal or Internet access for half a year. In the past six months, Chen You's procrastination has not broken out.
"The Romance of Lu Xiaoman" is Chen You's last book. Whenever he talks about this book, the first thing Chen You will introduce is his struggle with the "disease" as a severe procrastinator. When the publishing house asked Chen You to write a book, the editor generously gave her half a year to write. Chen thought again, wow, half a year is such a rich time. "I played for four months at a stretch, doing nothing, just playing." With two months left before the deadline, she became nervous and began to collect information diligently, going to the library to refer to the existing biography of Lu Xiaoman. , stayed up until 4 a.m. to go to bed, got up at 6 a.m. and started working again - with 10,000 words left, there were still two weeks before the deadline. It was the Chinese New Year at that time, and Chen You was fully involved in the festive atmosphere. "We were eating barbecue and setting off firecrackers. I always felt that after today and tomorrow, I would definitely cheer up." With two days left before the deadline for the manuscript, the publisher contacted Chen You. She was informed that if she failed to submit the manuscript on time, she would face a heavy fine. On the last day, Chen You basically didn’t sleep and worked hard to complete the remaining 10,000 words.
When describing this incident, Chen showed a mixture of guilt and luck that is unique to procrastinators: "I was lucky to finish the last book in a hurry, but I didn't have time, but I was inspired. It broke out that the quality of the writing was actually better. But I also understood that it was not an option to continue like this for a long time. I didn’t want to live on the edge of the deadline at all.”
A few days after the interview. Afterwards, Chen posted on Weibo: "As the deadline is approaching, I will officially retreat for a week to write a book from now on, and will be released next Thursday."
Childish: Use sensibility to work
"I have a greater desire to understand people with good character and charisma."
In middle school, Chen started writing novels again, writing them in homework books for the whole class to circulate. Little girls love to write love stories. Many girls prefer to write happy endings, but Chen You prefers to write tragic stories. In class, Chen You often receives small notes from "readers": "I cried." Or: "Why do you have to write so sadly? Obviously the male and female protagonists can be perfect." To this day, Chen You She has never written a novel with a comic ending. She plans to wait for time to call her dream novel. "I don't want to write a short-lived love story. If one day I want to write a full-length novel, then I must be married and have a deeper understanding of life."
