Chapter 8 Section 7

dear baby: I heard that someone is looking for depth in TV.I am so surprised. TV is very convenient, but it is very superficial. Looking for depth in TV, I am too worthy of TV, and too despised the history of civilization before TV appeared. Why bother watching TV to find depth?Why not read a book? Misunderstanding <On the way home from the lake> dear baby: The girl who is closest to you and I met because of TV.Based on that alone, I should be kinder to the TV. But just because she and I are TV people, we should know better than the average person what TV can and cannot do.Like a chicken farmer, one should not pretend that a chicken can lay eggs and knit wool.

The TV is just a crystal ball on the gypsy fortune teller's table.We see something about other people through it, that's all. We watch other people play football, but we ourselves slump on the couch.We see wars being fought and houses set on fire, but we only have the energy to worry about our backaches and zits.We care about a bunch of emperors, officials, and warriors who exist or have not existed, living in a serious manner, but these people will never care about us, and they will never even look at us. We witness the lingering love of people from all over the world in front of our eyes, but we are so lonely.

Dear baby, TV is not that bad, it just makes us mistakenly think that many people and things are related to us, but forgot to remind us: In fact, those are not our lives. Text <Night Train> dear baby: Character. I'm a word-heavy person, but the funny thing is, I've always been instinctively and idiotically tamed to the power of words. I often pass a store that sells fish, and the signboard of the store says the name of the store: "Nile River". I can't help thinking that all the fish in the store come from the Nile River every time, and then further imagine what the fish in the Nile River look like.

God is sorry, the fish in that store is nothing more than batched from a wholesale center outside Santiao Street! I also choose cards for someone in the store.I saw a group of crabs printed on a card, only one of which dyed eight feet in color, and a line of words was printed underneath: "You are the most special..." In this way, I will also believe, and the idea of ​​"someone is really special" really obediently emerges in my mind.Really, before seeing this card, I never felt that this so-and-so was special! I have used words for so many years, why am I still so constrained by words?

If you are a wizard who is good at using spells, when you see the spells written by other wizards, you must see how much mana is attached to them at a glance.If there is no magic power, just tear it off by hand, regardless of what is written on it. But I am like a native who has just learned to read. I can be fooled by just writing a shop sign, and I can be convinced by printing tens of thousands of cards. Baby, after you know how to read, you must take me, a fool, as a warning. I'm afraid I'll go on, so trust the word. dolls (in a toy store) dear baby: Today the store owner has two twelve-inch movie dolls for me to choose from.One is the human figure of Brad Pitt, the hot-blooded detective in "Seven Deadly Sins", who is fighting the religious murderer with all his strength, wearing an old leather jacket.The other one is the figure of Anthony Hopkins, a human demon doctor who is smart, knowledgeable, and elegant, but loves to eat other people's noses so much that he has to wear a breathable mask.

11 Chapter 9: Fortune Telling (Under the Night Tree) The owner of the toy store said that Brad Peter's dolls are relatively rare because they are produced in very small quantities.Moreover, the "Seven Deadly Sins" is the most similar of all Brad Pitt figures. I really like the "Seven Deadly Sins" whose English title is directly called "Seven". It is dark, angry, and book bag-dropping. I wish I could make a ballet out of dead bodies. "It's very popular. If you don't want it, it will be bought immediately." The boss put the Brad Peter figure back into the box.

Of course I knew what he said was true. Of course I chose the masked twelve-inch cannibal doctor.Ah, who can resist having him as a "doll". The hospital is not my home <Host Lounge> dear baby: Hospital. After you arrive here, the first place to spend the night. Like you, many babies will spend a period of time in the hospital first.But I have never heard of anyone who regards the hospital as their first home because of this. Everyone is surprisingly indifferent to the hospital. I have never heard of a girl who gave birth secretly carved her name beside the bed where she gave birth; Who posted his medical records on the page of recruiting friends; no one heard of anyone who framed his chest X-rays and hung them in his room.

So many of us were born in the hospital, but we don't want to regard the hospital as our first home at all. We consciously or unconsciously skip everything related to the hospital, thinking that in the theater of life, the hospital should always be placed in the "backstage". We will remain vigilant about the hospital for the rest of our lives, and every time we enter, we just want to leave as soon as possible. We don't feel kind at all, and we don't feel the nostalgia of returning to our childhood alma mater at all. Just keep it cool until the end.In the end, many of us went back to the hospital bed, but there were still a few who would stubbornly say, "Let me go home, I'm going to die in my own home..."

We refuse to admit that the hospital is our first home, nor that the hospital is our last home. We are so awkward. Fortune-telling <Under the Night Tree> dear baby: Adults will do one thing called fortune-telling. Adults not only count their own lives, but also count the lives of their partners, children, and business partners. It is nothing more than hoping that there will be no too many unexpected situations in their own lives. I was also taken to have my fortune told a few times.Every time I was taken there, it was the big boss of the film industry. The bosses who make movies probably often encounter stars complaining to them. The content of complaints must be various, such as lack of money, illness, and love problems.In addition, it is so mysterious and unpredictable whether the movie will sell for money, so the movie tycoon invites a famous fortune teller to stay for a while, and calls on all the troubled beings under his banner to calculate their lives together.

Every time I come across this kind of fortune-telling team, I just happen to be a guest at someone's house, and I am taken along with them.In one of them, the fortune-teller was kept in a luxurious room in a big hotel.I went to the living room of the big room, and saw that as long as there were floor-to-ceiling windows in the whole living room, there was a row of Guanyin statues in front of the windows, most of them faced inward, and a few faced outward.I asked the boss's wife why, and she said that the audio and video facing the exterior had already been "lit", which I think probably meant "the switch has been turned on".She said that the illuminated idol had already started to "activate", so the face should always be facing the sun outside the window. (Sounds a bit like running on solar power.)

The fortune teller answered several celebrities' questions one after another. He used many methods, and sometimes he only used visual inspection to remind the celebrity to be careful of the electric plug.Sometimes after meditating, I insisted that the god statues in a certain star's house were not arranged according to the "official rank", and put the gods with three stars on top of the gods with four stars, and told him to reverse the order quickly.Sometimes he only used his hands to scratch another star's waist in the air, and grabbed some scum like rotten soap on his hands, saying that he got rid of a potential disease. After these stars were answered, each invited a statue of Guanyin, and the fortune teller "turned on the switch" for them. The fortune teller saw that I didn't ask anything from the beginning to the end, so he asked me what was bothering me. I was a little embarrassed, and replied that I just came with everyone to take a look. He said, "Don't you have any worries?" I said that of course there are troubles, but I will not trouble the master today. He smiled slightly and asked me to write my name for him to read, and I did so. He glanced at it and said, "You should stay as close to the water as possible in your life." I said yes. He added: "The water that is closest to you, the bigger the better." I said, "Do you mean the sea?" He said: "It is best to have the sea, but if there is no sea, it is close to the big rivers." I said yes. Baby, I don't think I'll be able to live in the desert for the rest of my life. But baby, I don't really want to live under the sea. That question <The corner of the sofa> dear baby: There is a very charming singer who appeared on two of my shows in a row. After he finished the second program, he was still the same as usual, he smiled and said hello and left.On the one hand, the show producer was out of politeness, on the other hand, he was also very fascinated by him, and especially accompanied him all the way until he was sent to the car. After the producer sent him to the car, he came back and told me something that the singer asked her to tell me: "He said that he answered about a dozen of your questions on another program of yours last week, and he lied to one of the answers." I froze for a moment after hearing this.Not because the guest on my show lied.It's common for guests to lie, and we're hosting a TV show, not a courtroom.Even the courts cannot guard against lying. I froze for a moment because this was the first time a guest gave me an "explanation" so solemnly.There are many explanations on the spot after the recording, but such a sentence is added after a week, which has never happened before. "He lied about the answer to one question?..." I looked at my producer in confusion. When I am working, I may ask at most one or two hundred questions every day. Which question is this singer talking about? Seeing my confused look, the producer added another sentence: "He said, if he said it like this, you will know what it is." As soon as I heard it, I suddenly realized that it was "that question". "That question" was actually asked by my host partner casually when talking about his love life with him, and I only hoped that he would answer it casually, and it passed.The questions and answers were very bland, so I don't remember much, and it was probably cut out because it was too bland when it was broadcast. Now that he mentioned it like this, I realized that if he answered the question truthfully, how powerful would it be? With his current popularity, how many days would it take to be on the headlines of newspapers, and how many people would be implicated Follow up the report, how many people who are obsessed with him should be surprised? "Then why did he tell me?" I smiled wryly, but I felt a little warm in my heart, that I could gain his trust. My producer is in a hurry, she is so obsessed with him, and now she is at a loss: "Quickly tell me, what is it?" I smiled and looked at her: "Do you know why the postman job is so lonely? Because the postman will never know what is written in the letter." Missed <Host Lounge> dear baby: The girl who is closest to you, why do I like her so much? Let me talk about the type of girl I am least interested in first: A self-centered princess who has been protected since she was a child. I have seen some of these princesses when I was a child, and I will continue to see them when I grow up.I actually don’t understand why many boys like these princess-type girls. Even when I see them appearing in Japanese comics or martial arts novels, I will quickly turn over them impatiently.
