《 The Web 》



不管活到什么岁数,总有太多思索、烦恼与逃惘,一个人如果失去这些,安于现状,才是真正意义上的青春的完结。
-渡边淳一-
No matter how old you are, there are always too many thoughts, worries, and escapes, and if one loses them and settles for the status quo, that's the end of youth in the true sense of the word.
-Junichi Watanabe.


             






我们总觉得四金“缩在角落里”,好像总是会被人遗忘。
从进网吧就开始被遗忘了,网管忘记给他的电脑开机,时间到了联系不上网约车的司机,被司机爽约了;到主人家,婚车出发了,只留他一个人拍摄,以至于大喊着追车;最后婚宴上,在宾客身边和一堆空盘子坐在一起。好像即使他胖胖的,体积还算显眼,但是总是会被人忘记,就像是他把自己藏起来了,可能是因为他的工作——摄影师,更多是记录别人,也可能是因为他自己暴露在外的很少,他把内心包裹起来了。我觉得我想要挖掘的就是他内心的这一部分。

所以我总是很犀利地追问他,有一个问题我问了两遍,“你觉得生活会好嘛?”,四金第一次说“会好的,努力的人总不会被生活辜负”,但是第二次的时候,他沉默了很久,说“不知道”。
好像我们大部分时候也是这样问自己,“生活会好吗?”,可能我们一遍一遍地和自己说,“没关系没关系,往前走,会好的”。但是真的会越来越好吗?四金不知道,我也不知道。但是后来我想这对于我和四金来说都不重要,做好眼下的事,把答案留给时间,留给未来,而答案呢,也不重要,重要的就是此刻。

对四金来说,有了一个记录他的人,将他的心酸困苦幸福点滴记录;对于我来说,或者对于所有创作者来说,能够和这个世界上的万分之一的人产生情感上的共鸣,这也是值得的。《网》可能有些私人,很纪实,并不宣扬什么太正能量的东西,但是希望能打动观众一些什么,这就足够了。

We always feel that Sijin "shrinks in the corner", as if he will always be forgotten.Starting from the Internet cafe to be forgotten, the network administrator forgot to give his computer boot, the time came to contact the driver can not contact the Internet car driver, the driver was not the appointment; to the host's home, the wedding car left, leaving him alone to shoot, so that shouting to chase the car; and finally at the wedding banquet, in the guest side and a pile of empty plates to sit together. It's as if even though he's chubby and fairly conspicuous for his size, he's always forgotten, as if he's hidden himself away, perhaps because his job, photographer, is more about documenting others, or perhaps because he's exposed so little of himself that he's wrapped up inside. I think it's that part of him that I want to tap into.
That's why I've always asked him sharp questions. There was one question I asked twice, "Do you think life will be good?" The first time, Sijin said, "It will be fine, those who work hard will not be let down by life", but the second time, he was silent for a long time and said, "I don't know".It seems that most of the time we ask ourselves the same question, "Will life be good?". Maybe we say to ourselves over and over again, "It's okay, it's okay, move on, it's going to be okay". But will it really get better? Sikkim doesn't know, and neither do I. But then I thought it doesn't matter to me and Sikkim, do the right thing right now, leave the answer to time, to the future, and the answer, it doesn't matter, all that matters is this moment.
For Sijin, there is someone to record his heartache, hardship and happiness; for me, or for all creators, it is worthwhile to be able to emotionally resonate with one in ten thousand people in this world. The Net may be a little personal, very documentary, and doesn't preach anything too positive, but hopefully it will move the audience in some way, and that's good enough.
