"Evan, have you ever thought about what life will be like after you don't become an actor or a singer?" Steve Jobs suddenly raised this topic, which was completely different from the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere before. This is not a typical Steve Jobs. Although his voice has not changed much, Evan Bell can hear the fear of the future from his words itself.
Evan Bell laughed twice, "Why, last time it was a topic of early death, now it's a topic of retirement early?" Such a straightforward counterattack made Steve Jobs's originally slightly tense face relax again.
Steve Jobs was unwilling to admit his weakness, never, even in front of his wife, let alone Evan Bell. But Evan Bell has a special wisdom, not only maturity that goes beyond the boundaries of age, but also leisurely to see through the world. This is fully reflected in Evan Bell's music. Steve Jobs would not show his weakness to Evan Bell, but he is very happy to chat and talk with Evan Bell, which is a kind of enjoyment.
"Of course I thought about it." After Evan Bell joked, he turned his thoughts directly. "I wrote a line in the movie "Black Swan": Every great career has a day of ending. This is the same as life always comes to an end. And as an actor and singer, the glorious life in the entertainment industry is even more so. No matter how great an actor, singer or director, his career has a day of ending."
Michael Jackson was once glorious, but after entering the 21st century, although his popularity was still good, it was no longer as useful as he was back then. In the end, he ended up with a miserable end; the same was true in Whitney Houston, who was very popular in the 1980s and 1990s. Who could have expected that she would die alone in the hotel room? The Beatles were disbanded at the peak due to differences within the band... Not to mention those vase actors who rely on their faces to make a living, the day when their faces grow old is the end of their entertainment career.
"If you don't talk about the long term, just talk about the end of a concert. I don't know if you have visited the concert on site. It was a great experience." Evan Bell looked into the distance. It seemed as if there was a lively scene in front of you. "A few hours before the concert, countless fans flocked in to the venue. The surroundings were crowded with people. Everyone was excited to discuss the performance that was about to begin, as if a little bit of Mars could ignite the air on the scene.
"After the concert begins, the enthusiasm that bursts out from all directions, screams, shouts, cheers, tears, smiles. When gathering together, standing on the stage, you will think that you have the whole world; and when standing in the audience, you will think that this is the center of the world, and this kind of heat is enough to make the blood boil and turn yourself into ashes. At the end of the performance, everyone is so reluctant. A word of "Enke" is not enough to describe the excitement in the heart. Ten sentences, hundreds of sentences, and thousands of sentences of "Enke" are connected into one. It is even more magnificent than when the tsunami comes."
Evan Bell's words were so vivid and vivid that Steve Jobs did not speak. His eyes seemed to have the noisy scene of the concert. He involuntarily closed his eyes and joined the carnival in his mind.
"But no matter how exciting the performance is, there is a moment of ending, just like a day of farewell at the lively banquet. When the concert ends, the song ends and the audience disappears quietly, leaving only an empty theater. If you walk on the stage again at this time, it will be another scene." Evan Bell remembered that when he left Broadway, he reluctantly walked back onto the stage. "There seems to be a cry in the air, but there is no one in front of you; the lights seem to be filled with the previous heat, but it is dissipating bit by bit; the surging enthusiasm can be felt on the stage, but there is no more sound except the echo of his own footsteps... The gorgeous performance ended, leaving only a dim light, not loneliness, but loss."
Evan Bell's words made Steve Jobs open his eyes involuntarily. The stage after the concert was so vivid. The sun gradually moving westward in the sky was like the last beacon swaying alone above his head, a little dazzling and a little lonely.
"So I think life is probably like this after leaving the stage." Evan Bell sighed lightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "I am still reluctant to leave the stage, but the audience has ended. Everyone has already looked forward. Even if I continue to stay on the stage, I can't find any applause. Therefore, leaving is the wisest choice."
Evan Belt paused, as if he wanted to wait for Steve Jobs to take a look, but obviously the other party still had no intention of speaking. Evan Belt had to continue talking, "After ending my life in the entertainment industry, I might travel around and try to shoot documentaries. You know, there are always countless pictures worth exploring in every corner of the world, waiting for us to record it with real lenses. Of course, if we say goodbye to the entertainment industry completely, even behind the scenes is not relevant. I might become a teacher, draw and design drawings, write psychology papers, and then develop a little interest and seek new life goals."
"Teacher?" Steve Jobs finally spoke and looked at Evan Bell with a playful tone.
Evan Bell couldn't help laughing, "Yes, a fixed life like a teacher seems not to be my essence. But I mean, go to places where you need it all over the world, such as Africa, and all areas that are troubled by war."
"I can't tell you have such great ambitions." Steve Jobs teased.
Evan Bell shook his head quickly, "No, I don't want to change the world and ask the earth for it. But my first half of my life was under the spotlight. To put it bluntly, it was actually countless audiences who supported my work and allowed me to enjoy my life. Then the future may be more suitable for me, after all, I also gained something in the process of giving. What's more, I was a person who likes to travel around, and I can't say who has gained more."
Steve Jobs smiled. Evan Bell is always like this. He has a clear understanding of his life and will not rise to the height of all mankind at any time. Evan Bell will not deny that his starting point is for himself, including making movies and music. He is self-centered; but at the same time, Evan Bell will not be blindly arrogant. He has clear self-knowledge. He will not think that the earth is revolving around him. He knows when to think about others. Perhaps, this is Evan Bell's charm.
"Why, do you want to retire early?" Evan Bell turned his head and suddenly asked Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs shook his head, "I have no choice." He knew very clearly that he could not live without work. "What about you? After thinking so much, you won't really have the idea of retirement early, right?"
Evan Bell laughed at this moment, "You haven't read enough gossip magazines." This sentence immediately made Steve Jobs stunned. "I have the idea of leaving at any time, because I never think I am an indispensable existence in the entertainment industry. Maybe I am unique, but the entertainment industry is not necessarily me."
Evan Bell suddenly disappeared from time to time, completely disappearing from the sight of the masses, and then suddenly appears after a long time. This is Evan Bell's style and his personality. "So, one day in the future, I suddenly take off my backpack and disappear, or go to college to study again, which is not strange."
"College? Are you serious?" Steve Jobs immediately frowned when he heard this keyword, which made Evan Bell clapped and laughed.
Steve Jobs looked at Evan Bell who was smiling particularly brightly in front of him. He actually wanted to ask, the gift that Evan Bell gave him last time, "if.i.die.young", he liked it very much, and he also heard it on the album "Six". But Steve Jobs wanted to ask if Evan Bell could sing him live.
However, Steve Jobs couldn't say such a request, it was not a matter of face, but hesitated and didn't know how to speak. After much hesitation, Steve Jobs still didn't make it in the end, but just mentioned before Evan Bell left, "Evan, I liked the gift you gave me last time. Thank you."
Evan Bell held Steve Jobs' right hand, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "That's just a small gift, just like you." After saying that, Evan Bell thought about it for a while, and then continued, "Maybe I can give you another gift soon, hoping it will be a gift for you to recover and discharge from the hospital. As for what kind of gift it is, I won't make it public now, as a suspense."
Steve Jobs held Evan Bell's right hand hard, "How about ipad2?" The iPad2, which is currently in development, is scheduled to be officially released in March, but Steve Jobs has great expectations.
Evan Bell curled his lips, "Don't talk about work, remember? Lauren will question me when I leave." This sentence immediately made Steve Jobs helpless. But Evan Bell didn't give him a chance to speak again, let go of his right hand, waved it in the air, and then turned and left.
Looking at Evan Bell's energetic figure, Steve Jobs finally felt the warmth of the afternoon sun, and the muscle lines on his shoulders seemed much more relaxed.
