On the Self-cultivation of a Professional

Mr. Darcy interprets all the qualities of a good editor.

First of all, your job, the most important part of any editing job, is to get a book in front of the reader. This book is not a box of scratch paper, not a jumble of philosophical ramblings. If there is rough jade in it, then take out the part that readers can regard as rough jade.

No matter how much a person's heart is surging, how he is hit by youth, how he falls in love, how blue his eyes are, it doesn't matter, what matters is how a book becomes a book.

Second, you are a behind-the-scenes worker. The author provides the material, you edit the material, you are not the author, you do not create. If the works do not sign your name, even if you do not sleep, do not take vacations, alienate your wife, and destroy other people's marital relationships - in a word, no matter how much you pay, you cannot become famous and become a family. You're an editor until great work is done, great work becomes great work that gets noticed, and you're still an editor.

Again, you are a good listener and a good communicator. You need to learn some psychology, because you're probably dealing with a lunatic that's overflowing with talent for eternity -- oh, no, artists, writers.

In the end, you have to be flattered and do a good job in your own psychological construction. Because it is very likely that the once unknown people around you will become the big coffees in the future, and the big coffees will become the degenerates. You have to learn to face life and death, and get used to the comings and goings of people around you. You, be an adult who is absolutely not emotional.

Well, do you still want to be an editor as good as Perkins?

Maybe you still want to try it, but there is only one Perkins, because he has a pair of discerning eyes and a broad mind at the same time, and he is in a great era. An era of no one before and no future.

Anyway, I don't have any of the above qualities, so I'm not destined to be a great editor. If you're willing to write more than you edit, you should still be a writer.

Wolff explained the qualities of all scum writers.

In fact, only one thing, emotional like suffering from bipolar disorder. Sometimes high and sometimes low, sometimes self-inflated and sometimes low self-evaluation. ——Yes, many geniuses have the stinky faults, and you can't help him. After all, what future generations remember is "Angel, Look at Hometown", not Fitzgerald who laughed at his exhausted inspiration.

Genius seems to have reason to be arrogant and hurt those who are attracted to the light of genius. Who makes people a genius?

The main thing is that geniuses don't understand the world, they can't do anything other than being geniuses. Although they do not believe in the work of people who are not geniuses, it is precisely because of the tolerance and forbearance of those who are not geniuses that he is a genius.

Perhaps Wolfe's untimely death was a blessing, as Fitzgerald had already performed the fall of a genius. Years have no preferential treatment for geniuses, 24 hours a day is not much or not, and it is difficult for a man without money to run out of money, and it is also difficult for a genius.

It is better to die when it is the brightest, and then to be embarrassed by the witness of the years. ,

Nicole Kidman explained the self-cultivation of all outstanding actors.

She is such an amazing actress.

I don't really like her, but I absolutely do appreciate her. I have seen her play Woolf watching the writer's wife in this film, is she really alone? Really? Having seen her play a ghost, a person who has been insulted and damaged by everyone, can you believe that she sings and dances in "Moulin Rouge"?

She's just acting as a possessor.

What does it feel like to play a genius and then be squeezed by a genius? I really want to ask Nicole. I've never watched Nicole Kidman's movies, and I've never regretted one, even if she played a supporting role, like Erin.

The movie portrays Fitzgerald and Hemingway from another angle, which I like. You can't imagine that the middle-aged man who was running around for his wife, embarrassed, lost his inspiration, but was fighting for others was the little plum in "The Great Gatsby", and he couldn't take the tough guy who went out to sea and the one who swallowed a gun and committed suicide. Middle-aged whiskers are linked.

However, another angle is not necessarily distorted, it is just that we are used to the inherent image. I even thought that if Fitzgerald had been so understanding and dedicated, there might not be any real genius in the world at all. After all, the brain structure of geniuses is really different from that of ordinary people.

Colin is so elegant and has always liked him. Jude Law's performance is indeed a bit crazy. Obviously star and actor are two professions, think about what Jude Law looked like when he was young! The acting skills of the actors in the whole film are online, and the plot is flat-how many waves can a biographical film have, it is worth the time just to watch the performance, not to mention, they are all actors with heart water.
